The engineering manual contains instructions on how to engineer the IEDs using the
various tools available within the PCM600 software. The manual provides
instructions on how to set up a PCM600 project and insert IEDs to the project
structure. The manual also recommends a sequence for the engineering of protection
and control functions, LHMI functions as well as communication engineering for IEC
60870-5-103, IEC 61850, DNP3, LON and SPA.
The installation manual contains instructions on how to install the IED. The manual
provides procedures for mechanical and electrical installation. The chapters are
organized in the chronological order in which the IED should be installed.
The commissioning manual contains instructions on how to commission the IED. The
manual can also be used by system engineers and maintenance personnel for
assistance during the testing phase. The manual provides procedures for the checking
of external circuitry and energizing the IED, parameter setting and configuration as
well as verifying settings by secondary injection. The manual describes the process of
testing an IED in a substation which is not in service. The chapters are organized in the
chronological order in which the IED should be commissioned. The relevant
procedures may be followed also during the service and maintenance activities.
The operation manual contains instructions on how to operate the IED once it has been
commissioned. The manual provides instructions for the monitoring, controlling and
setting of the IED. The manual also describes how to identify disturbances and how to
view calculated and measured power grid data to determine the cause of a fault.
The technical manual contains operation principle descriptions, and lists function
blocks, logic diagrams, input and output signals, setting parameters and technical
data, sorted per function. The manual can be used as a technical reference during the
engineering phase, installation and commissioning phase, and during normal service.
The point list manual describes the outlook and properties of the data points specific
to the IED. The manual should be used in conjunction with the corresponding
communication protocol manual.
The cyber security deployment guideline describes the process for handling cyber
security when communicating with the IED. Certification, Authorization with role
based access control, and product engineering for cyber security related events are
described and sorted by function. The guideline can be used as a technical reference
during the engineering phase, installation and commissioning phase, and during
normal service.

3.1 Introduction
Analog input channels must be configured and set properly in order to get correct
measurement results and correct protection operations. For power measuring and all
directional and differential functions the directions of the input currents must be
defined in order to reflect the way the current transformers are installed/connected in
the field ( primary and secondary connections ). Measuring and protection algorithms
in the IED use primary system quantities. Setting values are in primary quantities as
well and it is important to set the data about the connected current and voltage
transformers properly.
The IED has the ability to receive analog values from primary
equipment, that are sampled by Merging units (MU) connected to a
process bus, via the IEC 61850-9-2 LE protocol.
The hardware channels appear in the signal matrix tool (SMT) and in
ACT when a TRM is included in the configuration with the hardware
configuration tool. In the SMT or the ACT they can be mapped to the
desired virtual input (SMAI) of the IED and used internally in the
configuration.
3.3 Signals
3.4 Settings
The direction of a current depends on the connection of the CT. The main CTs are
typically star connected and can be connected with the star point towards the object or
away from the object. This information must be set in the IED.
Positive value of current or power means that the quantity has the direction into
the object.
Negative value of current or power means that the quantity has the direction out
from the object.
For directional functions the directional conventions are defined as follows (see figure
2)
en05000456.vsd
IEC05000456 V1 EN
The settings of the IED is performed in primary values. The ratios of the main CTs and
VTs are therefore basic data for the IED. The user has to set the rated secondary and
primary currents and voltages of the CTs and VTs to provide the IED with their rated
ratios.
The CT and VT ratio and the name on respective channel is done under Main menu/
Hardware/Analog modules in the Parameter Settings tool or on the HMI.

A time counter is used for filtering. The time counter is increased once in a millisecond
when a binary input is high, or decreased when a binary input is low. A new debounced
binary input signal is forwarded when the time counter reaches the set DebounceTime
value and the debounced input value is high or when the time counter reaches 0 and
the debounced input value is low. The default setting of DebounceTime is 1 ms.
The binary input ON-event gets the time stamp of the first rising edge, after which the
counter does not reach 0 again. The same happens when the signal goes down to 0
again.
An oscillation counter counts the debounced signal state changes during 1 s. If the
counter value is greater than the set value OscBlock, the input signal is blocked. The
input signal is ignored until the oscillation counter value during 1 s is below the set
value OscRelease.

The function button and indication LED panels are not visible at the same time. Each
panel is shown by pressing one of the function buttons or the Multipage button.
Pressing the ESC button clears the panel from the display. Both panels have a dynamic
width that depends on the label string length.
5.5.1.3 LEDs
The LHMI includes three status LEDs above the display: Ready, Start and Trip.
There are 15 programmable indication LEDs on the front of the LHMI. Each LED can
indicate three states with the colors: green, yellow and red. The texts related to each
three-color LED are divided into three panels.
There are 3 separate panels of LEDs available. The 15 physical three-color LEDs in
one LED group can indicate 45 different signals. Altogether, 135 signals can be
indicated since there are three LED groups. The LEDs are lit according to priority,
with red being the highest and green the lowest priority. For example, if on one panel
there is an indication that requires the green LED to be lit, and on another panel there
is an indication that requires the red LED to be lit, the red LED takes priority and is lit.
The LEDs can be configured with PCM600 and the operation mode can be selected
with the LHMI or PCM600.
Information panels for the indication LEDs are shown by pressing the Multipage
button. Pressing that button cycles through the three pages. A lit or un-acknowledged
LED is indicated with a highlight. Such lines can be selected by using the Up/Down
arrow buttons. Pressing the Enter key shows details about the selected LED. Pressing
the ESC button exits from information pop-ups as well as from the LED panel as such.
The Multipage button has a LED. This LED is lit whenever any LED on any panel is
lit. If there are un-acknowledged indication LEDs, then the Multipage LED blinks. To
acknowledge LEDs, press the Clear button to enter the Reset menu (refer to
description of this menu for details).
There are two additional LEDs which are next to the control buttons and .
They can, for example, represent the status of a circuit breaker. The LEDs are
controlled by the function block OPENCLOSE_LED which must be configured to
show the status of the breaker.
5.5.2.1 Functionality
Each indication LED on local HMI can be set individually to operate in 6 different
sequences; two as follow type and four as latch type. Two of the latching sequence
types are intended to be used as a protection indication system, either in collecting or
restarting mode, with reset functionality. The other two are intended to be used as
signalling system in collecting mode with acknowledgment functionality.
There are three status LEDs above the LCD in front of the IED: green, yellow and red.
The green LED has a fixed function that presents the healthy status of the IED. The
yellow and red LEDs are user configured. The yellow LED can be used to indicate that
a disturbance report is triggered (steady) or that the IED is in test mode (flashing). The
red LED can be used to indicate a trip command.
The yellow and red status LEDs are configured in the disturbance recorder function,
DRPRDRE, by connecting a start or trip signal from the actual function to a BxRBDR
binary input function block using the PCM600, and configuring the setting to Off,
Start or Trip for that particular signal.
Operating modes
Collecting mode
LEDs that are used in the collecting mode of operation are accumulated
continuously until the unit is acknowledged manually. This mode is suitable
when the LEDs are used as a simplified alarm system. When all three inputs (red,
yellow and green) are connected to different sources of events for the same
function block, collecting mode shows the highest priority LED color that was
activated since the latest acknowledgment was made. If a number of different
indications were made since the latest acknowledgment, it is not possible to get
a clear view of what triggered the latest event without looking at the sequence of
events list. A condition for getting the sequence of events is that the signals have
been engineered in the disturbance recorder.
Re-starting mode
In the re-starting mode of operation each new start resets all previous active LEDs
and activates only those which appear during one disturbance. Only LEDs
defined for re-starting mode with the latched sequence type 6 (LatchedReset-S)
will initiate a reset and a restart at a new disturbance. A disturbance is defined to
end a settable time after the reset of the activated input signals or when the
maximum time limit has elapsed. In sequence 6, the restarting or reset mode
means that upon occurrence of any new event, all previous indications will be
reset. This facilitates that only the LED indications related to the latest event is
shown.
Acknowledgment/reset
From local HMI
The active LED indications can be acknowledged/reset manually. Manual
acknowledgment and manual reset have the same meaning and is a
common signal for all the operating sequences and LEDs. The function is
positive edge triggered, not level triggered. The acknowledgment/reset is
performed via the button and menus on the LHMI.
Automatic reset
The automatic reset can only be performed for LED indications defined for
re-starting mode with the latched sequence type 6 (LatchedReset-S). When
the automatic reset of the LEDs has been performed, still persisting
indications will be indicated with a steady light.
Operating sequence
The sequences can be of type Follow or Latched. For the Follow type, the LED follows
the input signal completely. For the Latched type, each LED latches to the
corresponding input signal until it is reset.
The figures below show the function of available sequences selectable for each LED
separately. The following 6 sequences are available:
Sequence 1: Follow-S
Sequence 2: Follow-F
Sequence 3: LatchedAck-F-S
Sequence 4: LatchedAck-S-F
Sequence 5: LatchedColl-S
Sequence 6: LatchedReset-S
For sequence 1 and 2, which are of the Follow type, the acknowledgment (Ack ) /reset
function is not applicable because the indication shown by the LED follows its input
signal. Sequence 3 and 4, which are of the Latched type with acknowledgement, are
only working in collecting (Coll) mode. Sequence 5 is working according to Latched
type and collecting mode while Sequence 6 is working according to Latched type and
re-starting (Reset) mode. The letters S and F in the sequence names have the meaning
S = Steady and F = Flash.
At the activation of the input signal to any LED, the indication on the corresponding
LED obtains a color that corresponds to the activated input, and operates according to
the selected sequence diagrams shown below.
In the sequence diagrams the different statuses of the LEDs are shown using the
following symbols:
Sequence 1 (Follow-S)
This sequence follows the corresponding input signals all the time with a steady light.
It does not react on acknowledgment or reset. Every LED is independent of the other
LEDs in its operation.

of the input signal, the indication will light up with a steady light. The difference to
sequence 3 and 4 is that indications that are still activated will not be affected by the
reset that is, immediately after the positive edge of the reset has been executed a new
reading and storing of active signals is performed. Every LED is independent of the

5.5.3.1 Functionality
Local Human-Machine-Interface (LHMI) has five function buttons, directly to the left
of the LCD, that can be configured either as menu shortcut or control buttons. Each
button has an indication LED that can be configured in the application configuration.
When used as a menu shortcut, a function button provides a fast way to navigate
between default nodes in the menu tree. When used as a control, the button can control
a binary signal.

All function keys work the same way: When the LHMI is configured so that a certain
function button is of type CONTROL, then the corresponding input on this function
block becomes active, and will light the yellow function button LED when high. This
functionality is active even if the function block operation setting is set to off. It has
been implemented this way for safety reasons; the idea is that the function key LEDs
should always reflect the actual status of any primary equipment monitored by these
LEDs.

Due to the parallel CT connections the high impedance differential relay can only
measure one current and that is the relay operating quantity. That means that there is
no any stabilizing quantity (that is, bias) in high-impedance differential protection
schemes. Therefore in order to guaranty the stability of the differential relay during
external faults the operating quantity must not exceed the set pickup value. Thus, for
external faults, even with severe saturation of some of the current transformers, the
voltage across the measuring branch shall not rise above the relay set pickup value. To
achieve that a suitable value for setting resistor RS is selected in such a way that the
saturated CT secondary winding provides a much lower impedance path for the false
differential current than the measuring branch. In case of an external fault causing
current transformer saturation, the non-saturated current transformers drive most of
the spill differential current through the secondary winding of the saturated current
transformer and not through the measuring brunch of the relay. The voltage drop
across the saturated current transformer secondary winding appears also across the
measuring brunch, however it will typically be relatively small. Therefore, the pick-
up value of the relay has to be set above this false operating voltage.
See the application manual for operating voltage and sensitivity calculation.
The logic diagram shows the operation principles for the 1Ph High impedance
differential protection function HZPDIF, see Figure 31.
The function utilizes the raw samples from the single phase current input connected to
it. Thus the twenty samples per fundamental power system cycle are available to the
HZPDIF function. These current samples are first multiplied with the set value for the
used stabilizing resistor in order to get voltage waveform across the measuring branch.
The voltage waveform is then filtered in order to get its RMS value. Note that used
filtering is designed in such a way that it ensures complete removal of the DC current
component which may be present in the primary fault current. The voltage RMS value

intentionally delayed on drop off for 30 ms within the function. The measured RMS
voltage is available as a service value from the function. The function has block and
trip block inputs available as well.

Additional security logic for differential LDRGFC - 11
protection
6.2.2 Functionality
Additional security logic for differential protection (LDRGFC) can help the security
of the protection especially when the communication system is in abnormal status or
for example when there is unspecified asymmetry in the communication link. It helps
to reduce the probability for mal-operation of the protection. LDRGFC is more
sensitive than the main protection logic to always release operation for all faults
detected by the differential function. LDRGFC consists of four sub functions:
Phase-to-phase current variation takes the current samples as input and it calculates
the variation using the sampling value based algorithm. Phase-to-phase current
variation function is major one to fulfill the objectives of the startup element.
Zero sequence criterion takes the zero sequence current as input. It increases the
security of protection during the high impedance fault conditions.
Low voltage criterion takes the phase voltages and phase-to-phase voltages as inputs.
It increases the security of protection when the three-phase fault occurred on the weak
end side.
Low current criterion takes the phase currents as inputs and it increases the
dependability during the switch onto fault case of unloaded line.
The differential function can be allowed to trip as no load is fed through the line and
protection is not working correctly.
Features:
Startup element is sensitive enough to detect the abnormal status of the protected
system
Startup element does not influence the operation speed of main protection
Startup element would detect the evolving faults, high impedance faults and three
phase fault on weak side
It is possible to block the each sub function of startup element
Startup signal has a settable pulse time

Startup signal becomes activated when any one of the current variation startup signal,
zero sequence current startup signal, voltage startup signal, and current startup signal
is activated.
Phase-to-phase current variation takes current samples and generates the startup
signal by comparing with the start value.
If the zero sequence current value is greater than the start value of zero sequence
current then the zero sequence current startup signal will be activated.
Voltage startup signal becomes activated when the any of phase voltage and line
voltage is less than the voltage start value and the remote startup signal has to be
activated.
Current startup signal becomes activated when the current value in all phases is less
than current start value.
Phase-to-phase current variation one is main startup element. It covers most of the
abnormal status of the system. The phase-to-phase current variation fails in high
impedance faults, three-phase fault on weak side and switch onto fault on unloaded
line because of low sensitivity in these cases.
Phase-to-phase current variation takes the current samples as input and the signal is
evaluated using the sampling value based algorithm.

tCV is the time setting for the change of current criterion. Phase current samples are

Zero sequence criterion is mainly for detection of remote IED high resistance faults or
some gradual faults. The criterion takes the zero sequence current as input. Zero

The zero sequence current criterion can be blocked by activating the BLK3I0 input

Low voltage criterion is mainly for detection of the three phase faults occurring on

The line distance protection is an up to five (depending on product variant) zone full
scheme protection function with three fault loops for phase-to-phase faults and three
fault loops for phase-to-earth faults for each of the independent zones. Individual
settings for each zone in resistive and reactive reach gives flexibility for use as back-
up protection for transformer connected to overhead lines and cables of different types
and lengths.
ZMQPDIS together with Phase selection with load encroachment FDPSPDIS has

The independent measurement of impedance for each fault loop together with a
sensitive and reliable built-in phase selection makes the function suitable in
applications with single-phase autoreclosing.
The distance protection zones can operate independently of each other in directional
(forward or reverse) or non-directional mode. This makes them suitable, together with
different communication schemes, for the protection of power lines and cables in
complex network configurations, such as parallel lines, multi-terminal lines.

The execution of the different fault loops within the IED are of full scheme type, which
means that each fault loop for phase-to-earth faults and phase-to-phase faults for
forward and reverse faults are executed in parallel.

The use of full scheme technique gives faster operation time compared to switched
schemes which mostly uses a start element to select correct voltages and current
depending on fault type. Each distance protection zone performs like one independent
distance protection IED with six measuring elements.
The distance measuring zone includes six impedance measuring loops; three intended
for phase-to-earth faults, and three intended for phase-to-phase as well as, three-phase
faults.
The distance measuring zone will essentially operate according to the non-directional
impedance characteristics presented in figure 43 and figure 44. The phase-to-earth
characteristic is illustrated with the full loop reach while the phase-to-phase
characteristic presents the per phase reach.

For zone 1 with load compensation feature the additional criterion applies, that all
phase-to-earth loops will be blocked when IN < IMinOpIN, regardless of the phase
currents.
ILn is the RMS value of the current in phase Ln. IN is the RMS value of the vector sum
of the three-phase currents, that is, residual current 3I0.
ILmLn is the RMS value of the vector difference between phase currents Lm and Ln.

Here IN is a phasor of the residual current in IED point. This results in the same reach
along the line for all types of faults.
The formula given in equation 2 is only valid for radial feeder application without
load. When load is considered in the case of single phase-to-earth fault, conventional
distance protection might overreach at exporting end and underreach at importing end.
The IED has an adaptive load compensation which increases the security in such
applications.
Measuring elements receive current and voltage information from the A/D converter.
The check sums are calculated and compared, and the information is distributed into
memory locations. For each of the six supervised fault loops, sampled values of
voltage (U), current (I), and changes in current between samples (DI) are brought from
the input memory and fed to a recursive Fourier filter.
The filter provides two orthogonal values for each input. These values are related to
the loop impedance according to equation 3,

where:
Re designates the real component of current and voltage,
Im designates the imaginary component of current and voltage and
f0 designates the rated system frequency
The algorithm calculates Rm measured resistance from the equation for the real value
of the voltage and substitutes it in the equation for the imaginary part. The equation for
the Xm measured reactance can then be solved. The final result is equal to:
Im ( U ) DRe ( I ) Re ( U ) D Im ( I )

EQUATION358 V1 EN (Equation 8)
The calculated Rm and Xm values are updated each sample and compared with the set
zone reach. The adaptive tripping counter counts the number of permissive tripping
results. This effectively removes any influence of errors introduced by the capacitive
voltage transformers or by other factors.
The directional evaluations are performed simultaneously in both forward and reverse
directions, and in all six fault loops. Positive sequence voltage and a phase locked
positive sequence memory voltage are used as a reference. This ensures unlimited
directional sensitivity for faults close to the IED point.
For the L1-L2 element, the equation in forward direction is according to.
where:
ArgDir is the setting for the lower boundary of the forward directional characteristic, by default set
to 15 (= -15 degrees) and
ArgNegRes is the setting for the upper boundary of the forward directional characteristic, by default set

The polarizing voltage is available as long as the positive sequence voltage exceeds
5% of the set base voltage UBase. So the directional element can use it for all
unsymmetrical faults including close-in faults.
For close-in three-phase faults, the U1L1M memory voltage, based on the same
positive sequence voltage, ensures correct directional discrimination.
The memory voltage is used for 100 ms or until the positive sequence voltage is
restored.
If the current is still above the set value of the minimum operating current
(between 10 and 30% of the set IED rated current IBase), the condition seals in.
If the fault has caused tripping, the trip endures.
If the fault was detected in the reverse direction, the measuring element in
the reverse direction remains in operation.
If the current decreases below the minimum operating value, the memory resets
until the positive sequence voltage exceeds 10% of its rated value.
Phase-to-earth related signals are designated by L1N, L2N and L3N. The phase-to-
phase signals are designated by L1L2, L2L3, and L3L1.
Two types of function block, ZMQPDIS and ZMQAPDIS, are used in the IED.
ZMQPDIS is used for zone 1 and ZMQAPDIS for zone 2 - 5.
The STCND input signal represents a connection of six different integer values from
Phase selection with load encroachment, quadrilateral characteristic function
FDPSPDIS within the IED, which are converted within the zone measuring function
into corresponding boolean expressions for each condition separately. Input signal
STCND is connected to FDPSPDIS or FMPSPDIS function output STCNDZ.
The input signal DIRCND is used to give condition for directionality for the distance
measuring zones. The signal contains binary coded information for both forward and
reverse direction. The zone measurement function filters out the relevant signals
depending on the setting of the parameter OperationDir. It must be configured to the
STDIR output on ZDRDIR function.

7.2.2 Functionality
The operation of transmission networks today is in many cases close to the stability
limit. Due to environmental considerations, the rate of expansion and reinforcement
of the power system is reduced, for example, difficulties to get permission to build
new power lines. The ability to accurately and reliably classify the different types of
fault, so that single pole tripping and autoreclosing can be used plays an important role
in this matter. Phase selection, quadrilateral characteristic with fixed angle
FDPSPDIS is designed to accurately select the proper fault loop in the distance
function dependent on the fault type.
The heavy load transfer that is common in many transmission networks may make
fault resistance coverage difficult to achieve. Therefore, FDPSPDIS has a built-in
algorithm for load encroachment, which gives the possibility to enlarge the resistive
setting of both the phase selection and the measuring zones without interfering with
the load.
The extensive output signals from the phase selection gives also important
information about faulty phase(s), which can be used for fault analysis.

Each of the six measuring loops has its own load encroachment characteristic based
on the corresponding loop impedance. The load encroachment functionality is always
active, but can be switched off by selecting a high setting.

Figure 59 is valid for phase-to-earth. During a three-phase fault, or load, when the
quadrilateral phase-to-phase characteristic is subject to enlargement and rotation the
operate area is transformed according to figure 60. Notice in particular what happens
with the resistive blinders of the "phase selection" "quadrilateral" zone. Due to the 30-
degree rotation, the angle of the blinder in quadrant one is now 90 degrees instead of
the original 60 degrees. The blinder that is nominally located to quadrant four will at
the same time tilt outwards and increase the resistive reach around the R-axis.
Consequently, it will be more or less necessary to use the load encroachment
characteristic in order to secure a margin to the load impedance.

The result from rotation of the load characteristic at a fault between two phases is
presented in fig 61. Since the load characteristic is based on the same measurement as
the quadrilateral characteristic, it will rotate with the quadrilateral characteristic
clockwise by 30 degrees when subject to a pure phase-to-phase fault. At the same time
the characteristic will "shrink", divided by 2/3, from the full RLdFw and RLdRv
reach, which is valid at load or three-phase fault.
IEC08000437.vsd
IEC08000437 V1 EN
Figure 61: Rotation of load characteristic for a fault between two phases
There is a gain in selectivity by using the same measurement as for the quadrilateral
characteristic since not all phase-to-phase loops will be fully affected by a fault
between two phases. It should also provide better fault resistive coverage in quadrant
one. The relative loss of fault resistive coverage in quadrant four should not be a
problem even for applications on series compensated lines.
The operation of the Phase selection with load encroachment function (FDPSPDIS) is
blocked if the magnitude of input currents falls below certain threshold values.
The phase-to-earth loop Ln is blocked if ILn<IMinOpPE, where ILn is the RMS value
of the current in phase Ln.

The independent measurement of impedance for each fault loop together with a

Built-in adaptive load compensation algorithm for the quadrilateral function prevents
overreaching of zone1 at load exporting end at phase to earth-faults on heavily loaded
power lines.
The distance protection zones can operate, independent of each other, in directional
(forward or reverse) or non-directional mode. This makes them suitable, together with

For zone 1 with load compensation feature the additional criterion applies, that all

currents.
ILn is the RMS value of the current in phase Ln. IN is the RMS value of the vector sum
of the three phase currents, that is, residual current 3I0.
ILmLn is the RMS value of the vector difference between phase currents Lm and Ln.

Here IN is a phasor of the residual current at the IED point. This results in the same
reach along the line for all types of faults.
The formula given in equation 20 is only valid for no loaded radial feeder applications.
When load is considered in the case of single phase-to-earth fault, conventional
distance protection might overreach at exporting end and underreach at importing end.
IED has an adaptive load compensation which increases the security in such
applications.
Measuring elements receive current and voltage information from the A/D converter.
The check sums are calculated and compared, and the information is distributed into
memory locations. For each of the six supervised fault loops, sampled values of
voltage (U), current (I), and changes in current between samples (DI) are brought from
the input memory and fed to a recursive Fourier filter.
The filter provides two orthogonal values for each input. These values are related to
the loop impedance according to equation 21,

where:
Re designates the real component of current and voltage,

The algorithm calculates Rm measured resistance from the equation for the real value
of the voltage and substitute it in the equation for the imaginary part. The equation for
the Xm measured reactance can then be solved. The final result is equal to:
Im ( U ) DRe ( I ) Re ( U ) D Im ( I )

DRe ( I ) Im ( I ) DIm ( I ) Re ( I )
EQUATION358 V1 EN (Equation 26)
The calculated Rm and Xm values are updated each sample and compared with the set
zone reach. The adaptive tripping counter counts the number of permissive tripping
results. This effectively removes any influence of errors introduced by the capacitive
voltage transformers or by other factors.
The directional evaluations are performed simultaneously in both forward and reverse
directions, and in all six fault loops. Positive sequence voltage and a phase locked
positive sequence memory voltage are used as a reference. This ensures unlimited
directional sensitivity for faults close to the IED point.
In the basic distance protection function, the control of the memory for polarizing
voltage is performed by an undervoltage control. In case of series compensated line,
a voltage reversal can occur with a relatively high voltage also when the memory must
be locked. Thus, a simple undervoltage type of voltage memory control can not be
used in case of voltage reversal. In the option for series compensated network the
polarizing quantity and memory are controlled by an impedance measurement
criterion.
At a three phase fault when no positive sequence voltage remains (all three phases are
disconnected) the memory is used for direction polarization during 100 ms.
The memory predicts the phase of the positive sequence voltage with the pre-fault
frequency. This extrapolation is made with a high accuracy and it is not the accuracy
of the memory that limits the time the memory can be used. The network is at a three
phase fault under way to a new equilibrium and the post-fault condition can only be
predicted accurately for a limited time from the pre-fault condition.
In case of a three phase fault after 100 ms the phase of the memorized voltage can not
be relied upon and the directional measurement has to be blocked. The achieved
direction criteria are sealed-in when the directional measurement is blocked and kept
until the impedance fault criteria is reset (the direction is stored until the fault is
cleared).
This memory control allows in the time domain unlimited correct directional
measurement for all unsymmetrical faults also at voltage reversal. Only at three phase
fault within the range of the set impedance reach of the criteria for control of the
polarization voltage the memory has to be used and the measurement is limited to 100
ms and thereafter the direction is sealed-in. The special impedance measurement to
control the polarization voltage is set separately and has only to cover (with some
margin) the impedance to fault that can cause the voltage reversal.

The numerical mho line distance protection is a, up to five zone full scheme protection
of short circuit and earth faults.
The five zones have fully independent measuring and settings, which gives high
flexibility for all types of lines. Each zone is an individual function block available for
independent configuration in ACT.
The IED can be used up to the highest voltage levels. It is suitable for the protection
of heavily loaded lines and multi-terminal lines where the requirement for tripping is

The independent measurement of impedance for each fault loop together with a

The execution of the different fault loops within the IED are of full scheme type, which
means that each fault loop for phase-to-earth faults and phase-to-phase faults are
executed in parallel for all zones.
The use of full scheme technique gives faster operation time compared to switched
schemes which mostly uses a start element to select correct voltages and current
depending on fault type. So each distance protection zone performs like one
independent distance protection function with six measuring elements.
The Mho distance function ZMHPDIS is present with five instances so that five
separate zones could be designed. Each instance can be selected to be either forward
or reverse with positive sequence polarized mho characteristic; alternatively self
polarized offset mho characteristics is also available. One example of the operating
characteristic is shown in Figure 83 A) where zone 5 is selected offset mho.
The directional mho characteristic of Figure 83 B) has a dynamic expansion due to the
source impedance. Instead of mho characteristic crossing origin, which is only valid
where the source impedance is zero, the crossing point is moved to the coordinates of
the negative source impedance giving an expansion of the circle of Figure 83 B).

Figure 83: Mho, offset mho characteristic and the source impedance influence on the mho characteristic
The polarization quantities used for the mho circle are 100% memorized positive
sequence voltages. This will give a somewhat less dynamic expansion of the mho
circle during faults than a plain cross polarized characteristic. However, if the source
impedance is high, the dynamic expansion of the mho circle might lower the security
of the function too much with high loading and mild power swing conditions.
The mho distance element has a load encroachment function which cuts off a section
of the characteristic when enabled. The function is enabled by setting the setting
parameter LoadEnchMode to On. Enabling of the load encroachment function
increases the possibility to detect high resistive faults without interfering with the load
impedance. The algorithm for the load encroachment is located in the Faulty phase
identification with load encroachment for mho function FMPSPDIS, where also the
relevant settings can be found. Information about the load encroachment from
FMPSPDIS to the zone measurement is given in binary format to the input signal
LDCND.
Each impedance zone can be switched On and Off by the setting parameter
Operation.
Each zone can be set to Non-directional, Forward or Reverse by setting the parameter
DirMode .
The mho characteristics can be classified into - Offset or Directional. The directional
mho characteristics can be set to Offset, Forward or Reverse by the setting parameter
DirMode. The offset mho characteristic can be set to Forward or Reverse or Non-
Directional by the setting parameter OffsetMhoDir.
For critical applications such as for lines with high SIRs as well as CVTs, it is possible
to improve the security by setting the parameter ReachMode to Underreach. In this
mode the reach for faults close to the zone reach is reduced by 20% and the filtering
is also introduced to increase the accuracy in the measuring. If the ReachMode is set to
Overreach no reduction of the reach is introduced and no extra filtering introduced.
The latter setting is recommended for overreaching pilot zone, zone 2 or zone 3
elements and reverse zone where overreaching on transients is not a major issue either
because of less likelihood of overreach with higher settings or the fact that these
elements do not initiate tripping unconditionally.
The zone reach for phase-to-earth fault and phase-to-phase fault is set individually in
polar coordinates.
The impedance is set by the parameters ZPE and ZPP and the corresponding
arguments by the parameters ZAngPE and ZAngPP.
Compensation for earth -return path for faults involving earth is done by setting the
parameter KN and KNAng where KN is the magnitude of the earth -return path and
KNAng is the argument of the earth-return path.

The operate timers triggering input depends on the parameter ZnTimerSel setting. The
parameter ZnTimerSel can be set to:
The activation of input signal BLKZ can be made by external fuse failure function or
from the loss of voltage check in the Mho supervision logic (ZSMGAPC). In both
cases the output BLKZ in the Mho supervision logic shall be connected to the input
BLKZ in the Mho distance function block (ZMHPDIS)
The input signal BLKZMTD is activated during some ms after fault has been detected
by ZSMGAPC to avoid unwanted operations due to transients. It shall be connected
to the BLKZMTD output signal of ZSMGAPC function.
At SIR values >10, the use of electronic CVT might cause overreach due to the built-
in resonance circuit in the CVT, which reduce the secondary voltage for a while. The
input BLKHSIR is connected to the output signal HSIR on ZSMGAPC for increasing
of the filtering and high SIR values. This is valid only when permissive underreach
scheme is selected by setting ReachMode=Underreach.
The mho algorithm is based on the phase comparison of an operating phasor and a
polarizing phasor. When the operating phasor leads the reference polarizing phasor by
90 degrees or more, the function operates and gives a trip output.

7.5.2 Functionality
The line distance protection is an up to five (depending on product variant) zone full
scheme protection function with three fault loops for phase-to-earth fault for each of
the independent zones. Individual settings for each zone resistive and reactive reach
give flexibility for use on overhead lines and cables of different types and lengths.
The Full-scheme distance protection, quadrilateral for earth fault functions have
functionality for load encroachment, which increases the possibility to detect high
resistive faults on heavily loaded lines , see Figure 38.

The independent measurement of impedance for each fault loop together with a
sensitive and reliable built in phase selection makes the function suitable in
applications with single phase auto-reclosing.
The distance protection zones can operate, independent of each other, in directional
(forward or reverse) or non-directional mode. This makes them suitable, together with
different communication schemes, for the protection of power lines and cables in
complex network configurations, such as parallel lines, multi-terminal lines.

The operation of the distance measuring zone is blocked if the magnitude of input
currents fall below certain threshold values.
For zone 1 with load compensation feature the additional criterion applies, that all
phase-to-earth loops will be blocked when IN < IMinOpIN, regardless of the phase
currents.
ILn is the RMS value of the current in phase Ln. IN is the RMS value of the vector sum
of the three phase currents, that is, residual current 3I0.
Fault loop equations use the complex values of voltage, current, and changes in the
current. Apparent impedances are calculated and compared with the set limits.
Here U and I represent the corresponding voltage and current phasors in the respective
phase Ln (n = 1, 2, 3).

Here IN is a phasor of the residual current in IED point. This results in the same reach
along the line for all types of faults.
The formula given in equation 36 is only valid for no loaded radial feeder applications.
When load is considered in the case of single phase-to-earth fault, conventional
distance protection might overreach at exporting end and underreach at importing end.
IED has an adaptive load compensation which increases the security in such
applications.
Measuring elements receive current and voltage information from the A/D converter.
The check sums are calculated and compared, and the information is distributed into
memory locations. For each of the six supervised fault loops, sampled values of
voltage (U), current (I), and changes in current between samples (DI) are brought from
the input memory and fed to a recursive Fourier filter.
The filter provides two orthogonal values for each input. These values are related to
the loop impedance according to equation 37,

where:
Re designates the real component of current and voltage,
Im designates the imaginary component of current and voltage and
f0 designates the rated system frequency
The algorithm calculates Rm measured resistance from the equation for the real value
of the voltage and substitute it in the equation for the imaginary part. The equation for
the Xm measured reactance can then be solved. The final result is equal to:
Im ( U ) DRe ( I ) Re ( U ) D Im ( I )

EQUATION358 V1 EN (Equation 42)
The calculated Rm and Xm values are updated each sample and compared with the set
zone reach. The adaptive tripping counter counts the number of permissive tripping
results. This effectively removes any influence of errors introduced by the capacitive
voltage transformers or by other factors.
The directional evaluations are performed simultaneously in both forward and reverse
directions, and in all six fault loops. Positive sequence voltage and a phase locked
positive sequence memory voltage are used as a reference. This ensures unlimited
directional sensitivity for faults close to the IED point.
7.5.6.5 Directionality
The evaluation of the directionality takes place in the Directional impedance element
for mho characteristic ZDMRDIR function. Equation 43 is used to classify that the
fault is in forward direction for line-to-earth fault.
where:
ArgDir is the setting for the lower boundary of the forward directional characteristic, by default set
to 15 (= -15 degrees) and
ArgNegRes is the setting for the upper boundary of the forward directional characteristic, by default set
to 115 degrees, see figure 103.
U1L1 is positive sequence phase voltage in phase L1
The setting of ArgDir and ArgNegRes is by default set to 15 (= -15) and 115 degrees
respectively (see figure 103) and it should not be changed unless system studies have
shown the necessity.
ZDMRDIR gives a binary coded signal on the output STDIRCND depending on the
evaluation where STFWL1N=1 adds 1, STRVL1N=1 adds 2, STFWL2N=1 adds 4
etc.

Figure 103: Setting angles for discrimination of forward and reverse fault
For close-in three-phase faults, the U1L1M memory voltage, based on the same
positive sequence voltage, ensures correct directional discrimination.
The memory voltage is used for 100 ms or until the positive sequence voltage is
restored.
If the current is still above the set value of the minimum operating current
(between 10 and 30% of the set IED rated current IBase), the condition seals in.
If the fault has caused tripping, the trip endures.
If the fault was detected in the reverse direction, the measuring element in
the reverse direction remains in operation.
If the current decreases below the minimum operating value, the memory resets
until the positive sequence voltage exceeds 10% of its rated value.
The STCND input signal represents a connection of six different integer values from
the phase selection function within the IED, which are converted within the zone
measuring function into corresponding boolean expressions for each condition
separately. It is connected to the Phase selection with load enchroachment,
quadrilateral characteristic (FDPSPDIS) function output STCNDZ.

respectively (see figure 110) and they should not be changed unless system studies
show the necessity.
If one sets DirEvalType to Comparator (which is recommended when using the mho
characteristic) then the directional lines are computed by means of a comparator-type
calculation, meaning that the directional lines are based on mho-circles (of infinite
radius). The default setting value Impedance otherwise means that the directional
lines are implemented based on an impedance calculation equivalent to the one used

= L1N*1 + L2N*2 + L3N*4 + L1L2*8 + L2L3*16 + L3L1*32
Example: If only L1Nstart, the value is 1, if start in L1N and L3N are detected, the
value is 1+4=5.
For close-in three-phase faults, the U1L1M memory voltage, based on the same
positive sequence voltage, ensures correct directional discrimination.
The memory voltage is used for 100ms or until the positive sequence voltage is
restored. After 100ms, the following occurs:
If the current is still above the set value of the minimum operating current the
condition seals in.
The Directional impedance element for mho characteristic (ZDMRDIR) function has
the following output signals:
The STDIRCND output provides an integer signal that depends on the evaluation and
is derived from a binary coded signal as follows:
There are however some situations that can cause security problems like reverse phase
to phase faults and double phase-to-earth faults during high load periods. To solve
these, additional directional element is used.
For phase-to-earth faults, directional elements using sequence components are very
reliable for directional discrimination. The directional element can be based on one of
following types of polarization:
Zero-sequence voltage
Negative-sequence voltage
Zero-sequence current
Zero-sequence voltage polarization is utilizing the phase relation between the zero-
sequence voltage and the zero-sequence current at the location of the protection. The
measurement principle is illustrated in figure 111.

Note that the sequence based additional directional element cannot give per phase
information about direction to fault. This is why it is an AND-function with the normal
directional element that works on a per phase base. The enable signals are per phase
and to enable the measuring element in a specific phase, both the additional directional
element and the normal directional element, for that phase must indicate correct
direction.
These polarization quantities, voltage and current, are stabilized against minimum
polarizing voltage (UPOL>) and current (IPOL>). That means if polarizing voltage is
greater than UPOL> setting, and if polarizing current is greater than IPol>, then only
they are used for direction determination.

The aim for the fault inception detector is to quickly detect that a fault has occurred in
the system. The fault detector detects a fault when there is a sufficient change in at
least one current and at the same time there is a sufficient change in at least one
voltage. A change is defined roughly by the difference between the present
instantaneous value and the one from one power system cycle before. The change is
sufficient if it exceeds the related threshold value. DeltaI and DeltaU for phase
currents and voltages. Delta3I0 and Delta3U0 for residual current and voltage.
If the setting PilotMode is set to On in blocking scheme and the fault inception
function has detected a system fault, a block signal BLKCHST is issued and send to
remote end in order to block the overreaching zones. Different criteria has to be
fulfilled for sending the BLKCHST signal:
If it is later detected that it was an internal fault that made the function issue the
BLKCHST signal, the function issues a CHSTOP signal to unblock the remote end. The
criteria that have to be fulfilled for this are:
1. The function has to be in pilot mode, that is, the setting PilotMode has to be set to
On
2. The carrier send signal should be blocked, that is, input signal BLOCKCS is On
and,
3. A reverse fault should not have been detected while the carrier send signal was
not blocked, that is, input REVSTART should not have been activated before
BLOCKCS.
If loss of voltage is detected, but not a fault inception, the distance protection function
is blocked. This is also the case if a fuse failure is detected by the external fuse failure
function and activate the input FUSEFAIL. Those blocks are generated by activating
the output BLKZ, which are connected to the input BLKZ on the distance Mho function
block.
During fault inception a lot of transients are developed which in turn might cause the
distance function to overreach. The Mho supervision logic (ZSMGAPC) increases the
filtering during the most transient period of the fault. This is done by activating the
output BLKZMTD, which is connected to the input BLKZMTD on mho distance
function block.
The SIR function calculates the SIR value as the source impedance divided by the
setting Zreach and activates the output signal HSIR if the calculated value for any of
the six basic shunt faults exceed the setting SIRLevel. The HSIR signal is intended to
block the delta based mho impedance function.

S00346 V1 EN
7.8.2 Functionality
The ability to accurately and reliably classify different types of fault so that single
phase tripping and autoreclosing can be used plays an important roll in today's power
systems.
The phase selection function is design to accurately select the proper fault loop(s) in
the distance function dependent on the fault type.
The heavy load transfer that is common in many transmission networks may in some
cases interfere with the distance protection zone reach and cause unwanted operation.
Therefore the function has a built in algorithm for load encroachment, which gives the
possibility to enlarge the resistive setting of the measuring zones without interfering
with the load.
The output signals from the phase selection function produce important information
about faulty phase(s), which can be used for fault analysis as well.

Faulty phase identification with load encroachment for mho (FMPSPDIS) function
can be decomposed into six different parts:
The aim of the delta based phase selector is to provide very fast and reliable phase
selection for releasing of tripping from the high speed Mho measuring element and is
essential to Directional Comparison Blocking scheme (DCB), which uses Power Line
Carrier (PLC) communication system along the protected line.
The current and voltage samples for each phase passes through a notch filter that filters
out the fundamental components. Under steady state load conditions or when no fault
is present, the output of the filter is zero or close to zero. When a fault occurs, currents
and voltages change resulting in sudden changes in the currents and voltages resulting
in non-fundamental waveforms being introduced on the line. At this point the notch
filter produces significant non-zero output. The filter output is processed by the delta
function. The algorithm uses an adaptive relationship between phases to determine if
a fault has occurred, and determines the faulty phases.
The current and voltage delta based phase selector gives a real output signal if the
following criterion is fulfilled (only phase L1 shown):
Max(UL1,UL2,UL3)>DeltaUMinOp
Max(IL1,IL2,IL3)>DeltaIMinOp
where:
UL1, UL2 and UL3 are the voltage change between sample t and sample t-1
DeltaUMinOp and DeltaIMinOp are the minimum harmonic level settings for the voltage and current filters
to decide that a fault has occurred. A slow evolving fault may not produce
sufficient harmonics to detect the fault; however, in such a case speed is
no longer the issue and the sequence components phase selector will
operate.
The delta voltages ULn and delta current ILn (n index for phase order) are the
voltage and current between sample t and sample t-1.
The delta phase selector employs adaptive techniques to determine the fault type. The
logic determines the fault type by summing up all phase values and dividing by the
largest value. Both voltages and currents are filtered out and evaluated. The condition
for fault type classification for the voltages and currents can be expressed as:
FaulType =
( UL1, UL2, UL3)
MAX ( UL1, UL 2, UL3)
EQUATION1621 V2 EN (Equation 46)
FaulType =
( IL1, IL2, IL3)
MAX ( IL1, IL 2, IL3)
EQUATION1622 V2 EN (Equation 47)
The output signal is 1 for single phase-to-earth fault, 2 for phase-to-phase fault and 3
for three-phase fault. At this point the filter does not know if earth was involved or not.
Typically there are induced harmonics in the non-faulted lines that will affect the
result. This method allows for a significant tolerance in the evaluation of FaultType
over its entire range.
When a single phase-to-earth fault has been detected, the logic determines the largest
quantity, and asserts that phase. If phase-to-phase fault is detected, the two largest
phase quantities will be detected and asserted as outputs.
The faults detected by the delta based phase selector are coordinated in a separate
block. Different phases of faults may be detected at slightly different times due to
differences in the angles of incidence of fault on the wave shape. Therefore the output
is forced to wait a certain time by means of a timer. If the timer expires, and a fault is
detected in one phase only, the fault is deemed as phase-to-earth. This way a
premature single phase-to-earth fault detection is not released for a phase-to-phase
fault. If, however, earth current is detected before the timer expires, the phase-to-earth
fault is released sooner.
If another phase picks up during the time delay, the wait time is reduced by a certain
amount. Each detection of either phase-to-earth or additional phases further reduce the
initial time delay and allow the delta phase selector output to be faster. There is no time
delay if all three phases are faulty.
The delta function is released if the input DELTAREL is activated at the same time as
input DELTABLK is not activated. Activating the DELTABLK input blocks the delta
function. The release signal has an internal pulse timer of 100 ms. When the
DELTAREL signal has disappeared the delta logic is reset. In order not to get too
abrupt change, the reset is decayed in pre-defined steps.
C A phase-to-earth component based on patent US5390067 where the angle relationships between
U2/I0 and U2/U1 is evaluated to determine earth fault or phase- to-phase to earth fault
The output from this detection is used to release the earth-fault loop.
|3I0|>maxIph INRelPE
where:
|3I0| is the magnitude of the zero sequence current 3I0
The earth-fault loop is also released if the evaluation of the zero sequence current by
the main sequence function meets the following conditions:
|3I0|>IBase 0.5
|3I0|>maxIph INRelPE
where:
maxIph is the maximal current magnitude found in any of the three phases
INRelPE is the setting of 3I0 limit for release of phase-to-earth measuring loop in % of IBase
IBase is the global setting of the base current (A)
In systems where the source impedance for zero sequence is high the change of zero
sequence current may not be significant and the above detection may fail. In those
cases the detection enters the second level, with evaluation of zero and negative
sequence voltage. The release of the earth-fault loops can then be achieved if all of the
following conditions are fulfilled:
|3U0|>|U2| 0.5
|3U0|>|U1| 0.2
and
3I0<0.1 IBase
or
3I0<maxIph INRelPE

The angle is calculated in a directional function block and gives the angle in radians
as input to the U2 and I0 function block. The input angle is released only if the fault is
in forward direction. This is done by the directional element. The fault is classified as
forward direction if the angle between U0 and I0 lies between 20 to 200 degrees, see
figure 118.

The input radians are summarized with an offset angle and the result evaluated. If the
angle is within the boundaries for a specific sector, the phase indication for that sector
will be active see figure 117. Only one sector signal is allowed to be activated at the
same time.
The sector function for condition 1 has an internal release signal which is active if the
main sequence function has classified the angle between U0 and I0 as valid. The
following conditions must be fulfilled for activating the release signals:
|U2|>U2MinOp
|3I0|>maxIph INRelPE
where:
U2 and IN are the magnitude of the negative sequence voltage and zero-
sequence current (3I0)
The angle difference is phase shifted by 180 degrees if the fault is in reverse direction.
The condition 2 looks at the angle relationship between the negative sequence voltage
U2 and the positive sequence voltage U1. Since this is a phase-to-phase voltage
relationship, there is no need for shifting phases if the fault is in reverse direction. A
phase shift is introduced so that the fault sectors will have the same angle boarders as
for condition 1. If the calculated angle between U2 and U1 lies within one sector, the
corresponding phase for that sector will be activated. The condition 2 is released if
both the following conditions are fulfilled:
|U2|>U2MinOp
|U1|>U1MinOP
where:
|U1| and |U2| are the magnitude of the positive and negative sequence voltages.
U1MinOP and U2MinOp are the setting parameters for positive sequence and negative sequence

If both conditions are true and there is sector match, the fault is deemed as single
phase-to-earth. If the sectors, however, do not match the fault is determined to be the
complement of the second condition, that is, a phase-to-phase-to- earth fault.

and phase-to-phase fault in the main sequence function is detected.

The outline of the characteristic is presented in figure 121. As illustrated, the resistive
reach in forward and reverse direction and the angle of the sector is the same in all four
quadrants. The reach for the phase selector will be reduced by the load encroachment
function, as shown in figure 121.

Outputs
The output of the sequence components based phase selector and the delta logic phase
selector activates the output signals STL1, STL2 and STL3. If an earth fault is detected
the signal STPE gets activated.
The phase selector also gives binary coded signals that are connected to the zone
measuring element for opening the correct measuring loop(s). This is done by the
signal STCNDPHS. If only one phase is started (L1, L2 or L3), the corresponding
phase-to-earth element is enabled. STPE is expected to be made available for two-
phase and three-phase faults for the correct output to be selected. The fault loop is
indicated by one of the decimal numbers below.
The output STCNDPHS provides release information from the phase selection part
only. STCNDLE provides release information from the load encroachment part only.
STCNDPLE provides release information from the phase selection part and the load
encroachment part combined, that is, both parts have to issue a release at the same time
(this signal is normally not used in the zone measuring element). In these signals, each
fault type has an associated value, which represents the corresponding zone measuring
loop to be released. The values are presented in table 125.

The distance protection zones can operate, independent of each other, in directional

The use of full scheme technique gives faster operation time compared to switched

depending on fault type. Each distance protection zone performs like one independent
distance protection IED with six measuring elements.
The distance measuring zone includes six impedance measuring loops; three intended
for phase-to-earth faults, and three intended for phase-to-phase as well as, three-phase
faults.
The distance measuring zone will essentially operate according to the non-directional

ILmLn is the RMS value of the vector difference between phase currents Lm and Ln.
Fault loop equations use the complex values of voltage, current, and changes in the
current. Apparent impedances are calculated and compared with the set limits. The

Here IN is a phasor of the residual current in IED point. This results in the same reach
along the line for all types of faults.
The formula given in equation 2 is only valid for radial feeder application without
load. When load is considered in the case of single phase-to-earth fault, conventional
distance protection might overreach at exporting end and underreach at importing end.
The IED has an adaptive load compensation which increases the security in such
applications.
Measuring elements receive current and voltage information from the A/D converter.
The check sums are calculated and compared, and the information is distributed into
memory locations. For each of the six supervised fault loops, sampled values of
voltage (U), current (I), and changes in current between samples (DI) are brought from
the input memory and fed to a recursive Fourier filter.
The filter provides two orthogonal values for each input. These values are related to
the loop impedance according to equation 3,

EQUATION356 V1 EN (Equation 53)
where:
Re designates the real component of current and voltage,
Im designates the imaginary component of current and voltage and
f0 designates the rated system frequency
The algorithm calculates Rm measured resistance from the equation for the real value
of the voltage and substitutes it in the equation for the imaginary part. The equation for
the Xm measured reactance can then be solved. The final result is equal to:
Im ( U ) DRe ( I ) Re ( U ) D Im ( I )
R m = ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

EQUATION358 V1 EN (Equation 55)
The calculated Rm and Xm values are updated each sample and compared with the set
zone reach. The adaptive tripping counter counts the number of permissive tripping
results. This effectively removes any influence of errors introduced by the capacitive
voltage transformers or by other factors.
The directional evaluations are performed simultaneously in both forward and reverse
directions, and in all six fault loops. Positive sequence voltage and a phase locked
positive sequence memory voltage are used as a reference. This ensures unlimited
directional sensitivity for faults close to the IED point.
For the L1-L2 element, the equation in forward direction is according to.

ArgDir is the setting for the lower boundary of the forward directional characteristic, by default set

ArgNegRes is the setting for the upper boundary of the forward directional characteristic, by default set

The polarizing voltage is available as long as the positive sequence voltage exceeds
5% of the set base voltage UBase. So the directional element can use it for all
unsymmetrical faults including close-in faults.
For close-in three-phase faults, the U1L1M memory voltage, based on the same
positive sequence voltage, ensures correct directional discrimination.
The memory voltage is used for 100 ms or until the positive sequence voltage is
restored.
If the current is still above the set value of the minimum operating current
(between 10 and 30% of the set IED rated current IBase), the condition seals in.
If the fault has caused tripping, the trip endures.
If the fault was detected in the reverse direction, the measuring element in
the reverse direction remains in operation.
If the current decreases below the minimum operating value, the memory resets
until the positive sequence voltage exceeds 10% of its rated value.
Phase-to-earth related signals are designated by L1N, L2N and L3N.. The phase-to-

SYMBOL-DD V1 EN
7.10.2 Functionality
The ability to accurately and reliably classify the different types of fault, so that single
pole tripping and autoreclosing can be used plays an important role in today's power
systems. Phase selection, quadrilateral characteristic with settable angle FRPSPDIS is
designed to accurately select the proper fault loop in the distance function dependent
on the fault type.
The heavy load transfer that is common in many transmission networks may make
fault resistance coverage difficult to achieve. Therefore, FRPSPDIS has a built-in
algorithm for load encroachment, which gives the possibility to enlarge the resistive
setting of both the phase selection and the measuring zones without interfering with
the load.
The extensive output signals from the phase selection gives also important
information about faulty phase(s) which can be used for fault analysis.

The input DIRCND contains binary coded information about the directional coming

Figure 59 is valid for phase-to-earth. During a three-phase fault, or load, when the
quadrilateral phase-to-phase characteristic is subject to enlargement and rotation the
operate area is transformed according to figure 60. Notice in particular what happens
with the resistive blinders of the "phase selection" "quadrilateral" zone. Due to the 30-
degree rotation, the angle of the blinder in quadrant one is now 100 degrees instead of
the original 70 degrees (if the angle setting is 70 degrees). The blinder that is
nominally located to quadrant four will at the same time tilt outwards and increase the
resistive reach around the R-axis. Consequently, it will be more or less necessary to
use the load encroachment characteristic in order to secure a margin to the load
impedance.

Figure 143: Operating characteristic for FRPSPDIS in forward direction for three-
phase fault, ohm/phase domain
The result from rotation of the load characteristic at a fault between two phases is
presented in fig 61. Since the load characteristic is based on the same measurement as
the quadrilateral characteristic, it will rotate with the quadrilateral characteristic
clockwise by 30 degrees when subject to a pure phase-to-phase fault. At the same time
the characteristic will "shrink" by 2/3, from the full RLdFw and RLdRv reach, which
is valid at load or three-phase fault.
IEC08000437.vsd
IEC08000437 V1 EN
Figure 144: Rotation of load characteristic for a fault between two phases
There is a gain in selectivity by using the same measurement as for the quadrilateral
characteristic since not all phase-to-phase loops will be fully affected by a fault
between two phases. It should also provide better fault resistive coverage in quadrant
one. The relative loss of fault resistive coverage in quadrant four should not be a
problem even for applications on series compensated lines.
The phase-to-earth loop Ln is blocked if ILn<IMinOpPE, where ILn is the RMS value
of the current in phase Ln.

The High speed distance protection (ZMFPDIS) is providing sub-cycle, down

to around SIR 5.
The ZMFPDIS function is a six zone full scheme protection with three fault loops for
phase-to-phase faults and three fault loops for phase-to-earth faults for each of the
independent zones, which makes the function suitable in applications with single-
phase autoreclosing.
The directional element utilizes a set of well-established quantities to provide fast and

including close-in three-phase faults, simultaneous faults and faults with only zero-

7.11.7.1 Filtering
Practically all voltage, current and impedance quantities used within the ZMFPDIS
function are derived from fundamental frequency phasors filtered by a half cycle
filter.
The phasor filter is frequency adaptive in the sense that its coefficients are changed
based on the estimated power system frequency.
A half cycle filter will not be able to reject both even and odd harmonics. So, while odd
harmonics will be completely attenuated, accuracy will be affected by even
harmonics. Even harmonics will not cause the distance zones to overreach however;
instead there will be a slightly variable underreach, on average in the same order as the
magnitude ratio between the harmonic and fundamental component.
The execution of the different fault loops within the IED are of full scheme type, which
means that earth fault loop for phase-to-earth faults and phase-to-phase faults for
forward and reverse faults are executed in parallel.
Figure 71 presents an outline of the different measuring loops for the six distance
zones.
IEC05000458-2-en.vsd
IEC05000458 V2 EN
Figure 151: The different measuring loops at phase-to-earth fault and phase-to-
phase fault
Each distance protection zone performs like one independent distance protection
function with six measuring elements.
Transients from CVTs may have a significant impact on the transient overreach of a
distance protection. At the same time these transients can be very diverse in nature
from one type to the other; in fact, more diverse than can be distinguished by the
algorithm itself in the course of a few milliseconds. So, a setting (CVTtype) is
introduced in order to inform the algorithm about the type of CVT applied and thus
providing the advantage of knowing how performance should be optimized, even
during the first turbulent milliseconds of the fault period.
There are two types of CVTs from the function point of view, the passive and the
active type, which refers to the type of ferro-resonance suppression device that is
employed. The active type requires more rigorous filtering which will have a negative
impact on operate times. However, this will be evident primarily at higher source
impedance ratios (SIRs), SIR 5 and above, or close to the reach limit.
The IEC 60044-5 transient classification is of little or no use in relation to this. It is not
primarily the damping of transients that is important; it is the frequency content of the
transients that is decisive, i.e. how difficult it is to filter out the specific frequency. So,
even if two CVTs, one passive and the other active type, comply with the same
transient class, the active type requires more extensive filtering in order to avoid
transient overreach.
To avoid overreach and at the same time achieve fast operate times, a supplementary
circular characteristic is implemented. A circular characteristic exists for every
measuring loop and quadrilateral/mho characteristic. There are no specific reach
settings for this circular zone. It uses the normal quadrilateral/mho zone settings to
determine a reach that will be appropriate. This implies that the circular characteristic
will always have somewhat shorter reach than the quadrilateral/mho zone.
This continuous criteria will, in the vast majority of cases, operate in parallel and carry
on the fault indication after the current change phase has ended. Only in some
particularly difficult faults on heavily loaded lines, the continuous criteria might not
be sufficient, for example, when the estimated fault impedance resides within the load
area defined by the load encroachment characteristic. In this case, the indication will
be restricted to a pulse lasting for one or two power system cycles.
The phase-selection element can, owing to the current change criteria, distinguish
faults with minimum influence from load and fault impedance. In other words, it is not
restricted by a load encroachment characteristic during the current change phase. This
significantly improves performance for remote phase-to-earth faults on heavily
loaded lines. One exception, however, are three-phase faults to which the load
encroachment characteristic always has to be applied in order to distinguish fault from
load.
Phase-to-phase-earth faults (also called double earth faults) will practically always
activate phase-to-phase zone measurements. This is a substantial difference compared
to the previous phase selection function (FDPSPDIS). Measurement in two phase-to-
earth loops at the same time is associated with so-called simultaneous faults: two earth
faults at the same time, one each on the two circuits of a double line, or when the zero
sequence current is relatively high due to a source with low Z0/Z1 ratio. In these
situations zone measurement will be released both for the related phase-to-earth loops
and the phase-to-phase loop simultaneously. On the other hand, simultaneous faults
closer to the remote bus will gradually take on the properties of a phase-to-phase-earth
fault and the function will eventually use phase-to-phase zone measurements also
here.
In cases where the fault current infeed is more or less completely of zero sequence
nature (all phase currents in phase), the measurement will be performed in the phase-
to-earth loops only for a phase-to-phase-earth fault.
Several criteria are employed when making the directional decision. The basis is
provided by comparing a positive sequence based polarizing voltage with phase
currents. For extra security, especially in making a very fast decision, this method is
complemented with an equivalent comparison where, instead of the phase current, the
Fundamentally, the directional sectors that represent forward direction, one per
measuring loop, are defined by the following equations.
U PolL1
15 < arg < 120
I L1
IECEQUATION15059 V1 EN (Equation 66)
U PolL1L 2
15 < arg < 120
I L1L 2
IECEQUATION15060 V1 EN (Equation 67)
Where:
UPolL1 is the polarizing voltage for phase L1.
UPolL1L2 is the polarizing voltage difference between phase L1 and L2 (L2 lagging L1).
IL1L2 is the current difference between phase L1 and L2 (L2 lagging L1).
The corresponding reverse directional sectors range from 165 to -60 degrees.
Since the polarizing voltage is also used for the Mho distance characteristics, the
magnitude of the voltage is just as interesting as the phase. If there are symmetrical
conditions and the measured per phase positive sequence voltage magnitude is above
75% of the base voltage before the fault, the pre-fault magnitude will be memorized
and used as long as there is a fault. The phase angle however will only be memorized
(locked) for 75 ms at a time, not to lose synchronism with the real system voltage.
Should the positive sequence voltage drop below 2% of the base voltage, it will be
considered invalid. In this situation, directional signals and starts from Mho elements
will be sealed-in and kept static as long as there is a fault.
For ZMFCPDIS, when option SeriesComp is chosen for OperationSC, the voltages of
faulty phases will be discarded in order not to affect the polarizing voltage with
voltage reversal.
The ZMFPDIS function has to be blocked by an additional function like the Fuse
failure supervision (FUFSPVC) or an equivalent external device. Typically, the
binary input VTSZ is used for this purpose.
There is need for external blocking of the ZMFPDIS function during power swings,
either from the Power Swing Blocking function (ZMRPSB) or an external device.
Quadrilateral characteristic
ZMFPDIS implements quadrilateral and mho characteristic in all the six zones
separately. Set OpModePEZx or OpModePPZx to Quadrilateral, to choose particular
measuring loop in a zone to work as quadrilateral distance protection.

The faulty loop in relation to the fault type can be presented as in figure 154. The main
intention with this illustration is to make clear how the fault resistive reach should be
interpreted and set. Note in particular that the setting RFPP always represents the total
fault resistance of the loop, regardless the fact that the fault resistance (arc) may be
divided into parts like for three-phase or phase-to-phase faults. The R1 + jX1 represent
the positive sequence impedance from the measuring point to the fault location.

Figure 155: Mho, offset mho characteristics and the source impedance influence
on the mho characteristic
The mho characteristic has a dynamic expansion due to the source impedance. Instead
of crossing the origin, as for the mho to the left of figure 83, which is only valid where
the source impedance (Zs) is zero, the crossing point is moved to the coordinates of the
negative source impedance given an expansion of the circle shown to the right of
figure 83. Z1 denotes the complex positive sequence impedance.
ZMFPDIS fixes zone 1 and 2 in Forward mode and zone RV in Reverse mode. Zone
3-5 can be set to Non-directional, Forward or Reverse by setting the parameter
DirModeZx (where x is 3-5 depending on selected zone).
X X X
R R R
X X X
R R R
IEC15000055 V1 EN
For each zone, the impedance is set in cartesian coordinates (resistance and reactance)
which is the same as for quadrilateral characteristic.
The ZMFPDIS function has only one set of reach setting so the reverse will be the
same as for the forward reach, meaning that the non-directional offset mho
characteristic will always be centered around the origin. In detail, for Zone 1, the
resistive and reactance reaches for phase-to-earth fault and phase-to-phase fault are
set individually using the settings R1PPZ1, X1PPZ1, R1PEZ1, X1PEZ1, X0Z1 and
R0Z1. In Zone 2-5 and Zone RV, the same zone reach settings are used for phase-to-
earth fault and phase-to-phase (R1Zx, X1Zx, X0Zx and R0Zx, x=2-5 or RV).
Theory of operation
The mho algorithm is based on the phase comparison of an operating phasor and a
polarizing phasor. When the operating phasor leads the reference polarizing phasor by
90 degrees or more, the function operates and gives a trip output.

from the earth return path.

Figure 160: Simplified offset mho characteristic and voltage vector for phase L1-

In some cases the measured load impedance might enter the set zone characteristic
without any fault on the protected line. This phenomenon is called load encroachment
and it might occur when an external fault is cleared and high emergency load is
transferred onto the protected line. The effect of load encroachment is illustrated on
the left in figure161. The entrance of the load impedance inside the characteristic is of
course not desirable and the way to handle this with conventional distance protection
is to consider this with the resistive reach settings, that is, to have a security margin
between the distance zone characteristic and the minimum load impedance. Such a
solution has the drawback that it will reduce the sensitivity of the distance protection,
that is, the ability to detect resistive faults.
The IED has a built in feature which shapes the characteristic according to the
characteristic shown in figure161. The load encroachment algorithm will increase the
possibility to detect high fault resistances, especially for phase-to-earth faults at the
remote line end. For example, for a given setting of the load angle ArgLd, the resistive
blinder for the zone measurement can be set according to figure161 affording higher
fault resistance coverage without risk for unwanted operation due to load
encroachment. Separate resistive blinder settings are available in forward and reverse
direction.
The use of the load encroachment feature is essential for long heavily loaded lines,
where there might be a conflict between the necessary emergency load transfer and
necessary sensitivity of the distance protection. The function can also preferably be
used on heavy loaded, medium long lines. For short lines, the major concern is to get
sufficient fault resistance coverage. Load encroachment is not a major problem. See
section "".

7.11.7.10 Measurement
Measurement supervision
The protection, control, and monitoring IEDs have functionality to measure and
further process information for currents and voltages obtained from the pre-
processing blocks. The number of processed alternate measuring quantities depends
on the type of IED and built-in options.
The information on measured quantities is available for the user at different locations:
Overfunction, when the measured current exceeds the High limit (XHiLim) or
High-high limit (XHiHiLim) pre-set values
Underfunction, when the measured current decreases under the Low limit
(XLowLim) or Low-low limit (XLowLowLim) pre-set values.

IEC05000657-2-en.vsdx
IEC05000657 V2 EN
Each analogue output has one corresponding supervision level output (X_RANGE).
The output signal is an integer in the interval 0-4 (0: Normal, 1: High limit exceeded,
3: High-high limit exceeded, 2: below Low limit and 4: below Low-low limit). The
output may be connected to a measurement expander block (XP (RANGE_XP)) to get
measurement supervision as binary signals.
The logical value of the functional output signals changes according to figure 169.
The user can set the hysteresis (XLimHyst), which determines the difference between
the operating and reset value at each operating point, in wide range for each measuring
channel separately. The hysteresis is common for all operating values within one
channel.
Cyclic reporting
The cyclic reporting of measured value is performed according to chosen setting
(XRepTyp). The measuring channel reports the value independent of amplitude or
integral dead-band reporting.
In addition to the normal cyclic reporting the IED also report spontaneously when
measured value passes any of the defined threshold limits.

After the new value is reported, the Y limits for dead-band are automatically set
around it. The new value is reported only if the measured quantity changes more than
defined by the Y set limits.
The last value reported, Y1 in figure 172 serves as a basic value for further
measurement. A difference is calculated between the last reported and the newly
measured value and is multiplied by the time increment (discrete integral). The
absolute values of these integral values are added until the pre-set value is exceeded.
This occurs with the value Y2 that is reported and set as a new base for the following
measurements (as well as for the values Y3, Y4 and Y5).

small variations that can last for relatively long periods.

Measurement ZMMXU
The magnitude and angle of the impedance for each phase are available on the outputs
(ZLxMAG and ZLxANGL (x=1,2,3)). Each analogue output has a corresponding
supervision level output (ZLxRANG, ZLxANGR). The supervision output signal is an
integer in the interval 0-4, see section Measurement supervision.
Impedance measurement is calculated based on UL1/ IL1 , UL2 / IL2 , UL3 / IL3 , where
ULX and ILX are phase-to-earth voltage and phase-to-earth current.
When the operating current is too low, the impedance measurement can be erroneous.
In order to avoid such error, minimum operating current will be checked. For phase

7.12.2 Functionality
High speed distance protection (ZMFCPDIS) provides sub-cycle, down towards half-
cycle, operate time for basic faults within 60% of the line length and up to around SIR
5. At the same time, it is specifically designed for extra care during difficult conditions
in high voltage transmission networks, like faults on long heavily loaded lines and
faults generating heavily distorted signals. These faults are handled with utmost
security and dependability, although sometimes with reduced operating speed.
The ZMFCPDIS function is a six-zone full scheme protection with three fault loops
for phase-to-phase faults and three fault loops for phase-to-earth faults for each of the
independent zones, which makes the function suitable in applications with single-
phase autoreclosing.
The directional element utilizes a set of well-established quantities to provide fast and
correct directional evaluation during various conditions, including close-in three-
phase faults, simultaneous faults and faults with only zero-sequence in-feed.

7.12.7.1 Filtering
Practically all voltage, current and impedance quantities used within the ZMFCPDIS
function are derived from fundamental frequency phasors filtered by a half-cycle
filter.
The phasor filter is frequency adaptive in the sense that its coefficients are changed
based on the estimated power system frequency.
A half-cycle filter will not be able to reject both even and odd harmonics. So, while
odd harmonics will be completely attenuated, accuracy will be affected by even
harmonics. Even harmonics will not cause the distance zones to overreach; instead
there will be a slightly variable underreach, on average in the same order as the
magnitude ratio between the harmonic and the fundamental component.
The execution of the different fault loops within the IED are of full scheme type, which
means that earth fault loop for phase-to-earth faults and phase-to-phase faults for
forward and reverse faults are executed in parallel.
Figure 71 presents an outline of the different measuring loops for the six distance
zones.
IEC05000458-2-en.vsd
IEC05000458 V2 EN
Figure 174: The different measuring loops at phase-to-earth fault and phase-to-
phase fault
The use of full scheme technique gives faster operation time compared to switched
schemes which mostly uses a start element to select correct voltages and current
depending on fault type. Each distance protection zone performs like one independent
distance protection function with six measuring elements.
Transients from CVTs may have a significant impact on the transient overreach of a
distance protection. At the same time these transients can be very diverse in nature
from one type to the other; in fact, more diverse than can be distinguished by the
algorithm itself in the course of a few milliseconds. So, a setting is introduced in order
to inform the algorithm about the type of CVT applied and thus providing the
advantage of knowing how performance should be optimized, even during the first
turbulent milliseconds of the fault period.
There are two types of CVTs from the function point of view, the passive and the
active type, which refers to the type of ferro-resonance suppression device that is
employed. The active type requires more rigorous filtering which will have a negative
impact on operate times. However, this will be evident primarily at higher source
impedance ratios (SIRs), SIR 5 and above, or close to the reach limit.
The IEC 60044-5 transient classification is of little or no use in relation to this. It is not
primarily the damping of transients that is important; it is the frequency content of the
transients that is decisive, i.e. how difficult it is to filter out the specific frequency. So,
even if two CVTs, one passive and the other active type, comply with the same
transient class, the active type requires more extensive filtering in order to avoid
transient overreach.
To avoid overreach and at the same time achieve fast operate times, a supplementary
circular characteristic that includes some alternative processing (retained from REL
531) is implemented. One such circular characteristic exists for every measuring loop
and quadrilateral/mho characteristic. There are no specific reach settings for this
circular zone. It uses the normal quadrilateral/mho zone settings to determine a reach
that will be appropriate. This implies that the circular characteristic will always have
somewhat shorter reach than the quadrilateral/mho zone.
The phase-selection element can, owing to the current change criteria, distinguish
faults with minimum influence from load and fault impedance. In other words, it is not
restricted by a load encroachment characteristic during the current change phase. This
significantly improves performance for remote phase-to-earth faults on heavily
loaded lines. One exception, however, is three-phase faults, for which the load
encroachment characteristic always has to be applied, in order to distinguish fault
from load.
The continuous criteria will in the vast majority of cases operate in parallel and carry
on the fault indication after the current change phase has ended. Only in some
particularly difficult faults on heavily loaded lines the continuous criteria might not be
sufficient, for example, when the estimated fault impedance resides within the load
area defined by the load encroachment characteristic. In this case, the indication will
be restricted to a pulse lasting for one or two power system cycles.
Phase-to-phase-earth faults (also called double earth faults) will practically always
activate phase-to-phase zone measurements. This is a substantial difference compared
to the previous phase selection function in the 500- and 600-series (that is,
FDPSPDIS). Measurement in two phase-to-earth loops at the same time is associated
with so-called simultaneous faults: two earth faults at the same time, one each on the
two circuits of a double line, or when the zero sequence current is relatively high due
to a source with low Z0/Z1 ratio.In these situations zone measurement will be released
both for the related phase-to-earth loops and the phase-to-phase loop simultaneously.
On the other hand, simultaneous faults closer to the remote bus will gradually take on
the properties of a phase-to-phase-earth fault and the function will eventually use
phase-to-phase zone measurements also here.
In cases where the fault current infeed is more or less completely lack of zero sequence
nature (all phase currents in phase), the measurement will be performed in the phase-
to-earth loops only for a phase-to-phase-earth fault.
Several criteria are employed when making the directional decision. The basis is
provided by comparing a positive sequence based polarizing voltage with phase
currents. For extra security, especially in making a very fast decision, this method is
complemented with an equivalent comparison where, instead of the phase current, the
change in phase current is used. Moreover, a basic negative sequence directional
evaluation is taken into account as a reliable reference during high load condition.
Finally, zero sequence directional evaluation is used whenever there is more or less
exclusive zero sequence in-feed.
Fundamentally, the directional sectors that represent forward direction, one per
measuring loop, are defined by the following equations.
U PolL1
15 < arg < 120
I L1
IECEQUATION15059 V1 EN (Equation 79)
U PolL1L 2
15 < arg < 120
I L1L 2
IECEQUATION15060 V1 EN (Equation 80)
Where:
UPolL1 is the polarizing voltage for phase L1.
UPolL1L2 is the polarizing voltage difference between phase L1 and L2 (L2 lagging L1).
IL1L2 is the current difference between phase L1 and L2 (L2 lagging L1).
The corresponding reverse directional sectors range from 165 to -60 degrees.
Since the polarizing voltage is also used for the Mho distance characteristics, the
magnitude of the voltage is just as interesting as the phase. If there are symmetrical
conditions and the measured per phase positive sequence voltage magnitude is above
75% of the base voltage before the fault, the pre-fault magnitude will be memorized
and used as long as there is a fault. The phase angle however will only be memorized
(locked) for 75 ms at a time, not to lose synchronism with the real system voltage.
Should the positive sequence voltage drop below 2% of the base voltage, it will be
considered invalid. In this situation, directional signals and starts from Mho elements
will be sealed-in and kept static as long as there is a fault.
For ZMFCPDIS, when option SeriesComp is chosen for OperationSC, the voltages of
faulty phases will be discarded in order not to affect the polarizing voltage with
voltage reversal.
The ZMFCPDIS function has to be blocked by an additional function like the Fuse
failure supervision (FUFSPVC) or an equivalent external device. Typically, the
binary input VTSZ is used for this purpose.
However, to guarantee that also very fast operation is blocked in a fuse failure
situation, there is a built-in supervision based on change in current that will delay
operation before the FUFSPVC blocking signal is received. The delay will be
introduced if no (vector) magnitude change greater than 5% of IBase has been
detected in any of the phase currents.
There is need for external blocking of the ZMFCPDIS function during power swings,
either from the Power Swing Blocking function (ZMRPSB) or an external device.
Quadrilateral characteristic
ZMFCPDIS implements quadrilateral and mho characteristic in all the six zones
separately. Set OpModePEZx or OpModePPZx to Quadrilateral, to choose particular
measuring loop in a zone to work as quadrilateral distance protection.

Note that for ZMFCPDIS, the reverse zone ZRV, as well as any of
zones 3-5, that are set to DirMode=Reverse will get their operating
impedances inverted (rotated 180 degrees) internally in order to make
use of the main settings, which are the settings designated Fw.
Therefore, a reverse zone will have its Fw-settings (RFFwPPZRV,
X1FwPEZ3, and so on) applied in the third quadrant, that is, towards
the busbar instead of the line.
The fault loop reach in relation to each fault type may also be presented as in figure
154. The main intension with this illustration is to make clear how the fault resistive
reach should be interpreted. Note in particular that the setting RFPP always represents
the total fault resistance of the loop, even while the fault resistance (arc) may be
divided into parts like for three-phase or phase-to-phase-to-earth faults. The R1 and
jX1 represent the positive sequence impedance from the measuring point to the fault
location.

protection.

Figure 178: Mho, offset mho characteristics and the source impedance influence

The mho characteristic has a dynamic expansion due to the source impedance. Instead
of crossing the origin, as for the mho to the left of figure 83, which is only valid where
the source impedance (Zs) is zero, the crossing point is moved to the coordinates of the
negative source impedance given an expansion of the circle shown to the right of
figure 83. Z1 denotes the complex positive sequence impedance.
ZMFPDIS fixes zone 1 and 2 in Forward mode and zone RV in Reverse mode. Zone
3-5 can be set to Non-directional, Forward or Reverse by setting the parameter
DirModeZx (where x is 3-5 depending on selected zone).

For each zone, the impedance is set in cartesian coordinates (resistance and reactance)
which is the same as for quadrilateral characteristic.
ZMFCPDIS function uses separate sets of reach settings in forward and reverse
directions for phase-to-earth fault and phase-to-phase fault. These settings are
R1FwPPZx, X1FwPPZx, X1RvPPZx, R1FwPEZx, X1FwPEZx, X1RvPEZx,
R0FWPEZx, X0FwPPZx (x=1-5 or RV). Thus, the center of the Non-directional offset
mho circle can be arbitrary located in the circle (figure 179).
Note that the reverse ZoneRV, as well as any of zones 3-5, that are set to
DirModeZx=Reverse will get their operating impedances inverted (rotated 180
degrees) internally in order to make use of the main settings, which are the settings
designated Fw. Therefore, a reverse zone will have its Fw-settings (R1FwPPZRV,
X1FwPEZ3, and so on) applied in the third quadrant, that is, towards the busbar
instead of the line.
In Non-directional mode, for both Mho and Quad, the reach settings are equal to
Forward mode in this respect. The Fw settings apply in the first quadrant and the
Rv settings apply in the third quadrant.
Theory of operation
The mho algorithm is based on the phase comparison of an operating phasor and a
polarizing phasor. When the operating phasor leads the reference polarizing phasor by
90 degrees or more, the function operates and gives a trip output.
Phase-to-phase fault

Figure 183: Simplified offset mho characteristic and voltage vector for phase L1-
to-earth fault
In some cases the load impedance might enter the zone characteristic without any fault
on the protected line. The phenomenon is called load encroachment and it might occur
when an external fault is cleared and high emergency load is transferred on the
protected line. The effect of load encroachment is illustrated in the left part of
figure 184. The entrance of the load impedance inside the characteristic is not allowed
and the previous way of handling this was to consider it with the settings, that is, with
a security margin between the distance zone and the minimum load impedance. This
has the drawback that it will reduce the sensitivity of the protection, that is, the ability
to detect resistive faults.
The IED has a built-in function which shapes the characteristic according to the right
part of figure 184. The load encroachment algorithm will increase the possibility to
detect high fault resistances, especially for phase-to-earth faults at the remote line end.
For example, for a given setting of the load angle ArgLd the resistive blinder for the
zone measurement can be expanded according to the right part of the figure 184, given
higher fault resistance coverage without risk for unwanted operation due to load
encroachment. This is valid in both directions.
The use of the load encroachment feature is essential for long heavily loaded lines,
where there might be a conflict between the necessary emergency load transfer and
necessary sensitivity of the distance protection. The function can also preferably be
used on heavy loaded medium long lines. For short lines, the major concern is to get
sufficient fault resistance coverage. Load encroachment is not a major problem.
Nevertheless, always set RLdFw, RLdRv [2] and ArgLd according to the expected
maximum load since these settings are used internally in the function as reference
points to improve the performance of the phase selection.

determine which loops should be released to possibly issue a start or a trip.
The internal input 'IN present' is true if the residual current (3I0) exceeds 7% of IBase.
However, if current transformer saturation is detected, this criterion is changed to
residual voltage (3U0) exceeding 5% of UBase/sqrt(3) instead.

7.12.7.10 Measurement
Measurement supervision
The protection, control, and monitoring IEDs have functionality to measure and
further process information for currents and voltages obtained from the pre-
processing blocks. The number of processed alternate measuring quantities depends
on the type of IED and built-in options.
The information on measured quantities is available for the user at different locations:
Overfunction, when the measured current exceeds the High limit (XHiLim) or
High-high limit (XHiHiLim) pre-set values
Underfunction, when the measured current decreases under the Low limit
(XLowLim) or Low-low limit (XLowLowLim) pre-set values.
X_RANGE = 3

X_RANGE=4
IEC05000657-2-en.vsdx
IEC05000657 V2 EN
Each analogue output has one corresponding supervision level output (X_RANGE).
The output signal is an integer in the interval 0-4 (0: Normal, 1: High limit exceeded,
3: High-high limit exceeded, 2: below Low limit and 4: below Low-low limit). The
output may be connected to a measurement expander block (XP (RANGE_XP)) to get
measurement supervision as binary signals.
The logical value of the functional output signals changes according to figure 169.
The user can set the hysteresis (XLimHyst), which determines the difference between
the operating and reset value at each operating point, in wide range for each measuring
channel separately. The hysteresis is common for all operating values within one
channel.
Cyclic reporting
The cyclic reporting of measured value is performed according to chosen setting
(XRepTyp). The measuring channel reports the value independent of amplitude or
integral dead-band reporting.
In addition to the normal cyclic reporting the IED also report spontaneously when
measured value passes any of the defined threshold limits.

IEC99000529 V2 EN
After the new value is reported, the Y limits for dead-band are automatically set
around it. The new value is reported only if the measured quantity changes more than
defined by the Y set limits.
The last value reported, Y1 in figure 172 serves as a basic value for further
measurement. A difference is calculated between the last reported and the newly
measured value and is multiplied by the time increment (discrete integral). The
absolute values of these integral values are added until the pre-set value is exceeded.
This occurs with the value Y2 that is reported and set as a new base for the following
measurements (as well as for the values Y3, Y4 and Y5).
The integral dead-band supervision is particularly suitable for monitoring signals with
small variations that can last for relatively long periods.

Measurement ZMMXU
The magnitude and angle of the impedance for each phase are available on the outputs
(ZLxMAG and ZLxANGL (x=1,2,3)). Each analogue output has a corresponding
supervision level output (ZLxRANG, ZLxANGR). The supervision output signal is an
integer in the interval 0-4, see section Measurement supervision.
Impedance measurement is calculated based on UL1/ IL1 , UL2 / IL2 , UL3 / IL3 , where
ULX and ILX are phase-to-earth voltage and phase-to-earth current.
When the operating current is too low, the impedance measurement can be erroneous.
In order to avoid such error, minimum operating current will be checked. For phase
currents lower than 3% of IBase, the magnitude of impedance is force to 9999999 and
the angle is forced to 0 degree.
Inside the function, to ensure the readability of the output for the users, ZLxMAG and
ZLxANGL (x=1,2,3) will not change more often than a certain time period, for
example, every 100 ms.

Its principle of operation is based on the measurement of the time it takes for a power
swing transient impedance to pass through the impedance area between the outer and
the inner characteristics. Power swings are identified by transition times longer than
a transition time set on corresponding timers. The impedance measuring principle is
the same as that used for the distance protection zones. The impedance and the
characteristic passing times are measured in all three phases separately.

The slope of the load encroachment inner and outer boundary is defined by setting the
parameter ArgLd.
The load encroachment in the fourth quadrant uses the same settings as in the first
quadrant (same ArgLd and RLdOutFw and calculated value RLdInFw).
The quadrilateral characteristic in the first quadrant is tilted to get a better adaptation
to the distance measuring zones. The angle is the same as the line angle and derived
from the setting of the reactive reach inner boundary X1InFw and the line resistance
for the inner boundary R1LIn. The fault resistance coverage for the inner boundary is
set by the parameter R1FInFw.
From the setting parameter RLdOutFw and the calculated value RLdInFw a distance
between the inner and outer boundary, DFw, is calculated. This value is valid for R
direction in first and fourth quadrant and for X direction in first and second quadrant.
RLdInRv = kLdRRvRLdOutRv
EQUATION1187 V2 EN (Equation 95)
where:
kLdRRv is a settable multiplication factor less than 1
From the setting parameter RLdOutRv and the calculated value RLdInRv, a distance
between the inner and outer boundary, DRv, is calculated. This value is valid for R
direction in second and third quadrant and for X direction in third and fourth quadrant.
The inner resistive characteristic in the second quadrant outside the load
encroachment part corresponds to the setting parameter R1FInRv for the inner
boundary. The outer boundary is internally calculated as the sum of DRv+R1FInRv.
The inner resistive characteristic in the third quadrant outside the load encroachment
zone consist of the sum of the settings R1FInRv and the line resistance R1LIn. The
argument of the tilted lines outside the load encroachment is the same as the tilted lines
in the first quadrant. The distance between the inner and outer boundary is the same
as for the load encroachment in reverse direction, that is DRv.
The inner characteristic for the reactive reach in forward direction correspond to the
setting parameter X1InFw and the outer boundary is defined as X1InFw + DFw,
where:
DFw = RLdOutFw - KLdRFw RLdOutFw
The inner characteristic for the reactive reach in reverse direction correspond to the
setting parameter X1InRv for the inner boundary and the outer boundary is defined as
X1InRv + DRv.
where:
DRv = RLdOutRv - KLdRRv RLdOutRv
The operation of the Power swing detection ZMRPSB is only released if the
magnitude of the current is above the setting of the min operating current, IMinOpPE.
The 1 out of 3 operating mode is based on detection of power swing in any of the
three phases. Figure 198 presents a composition of an internal detection signal
DET-L1 in this particular phase.
The 2 out of 3 operating mode is based on detection of power swing in at least two
out of three phases. Figure 199 presents a composition of the detection signals
DET1of3 and DET2of3.
Signals ZOUTLn (outer boundary) and ZINLn (inner boundary) in figure 198 are
related to the operation of the impedance measuring elements in each phase separately
(n represents the corresponding L1, L2 and L3). They are internal signals, calculated
by ZMRPSB function.
The tP1 timer in figure 198 serve as detection of initial power swings, which are
usually not as fast as the later swings are. The tP2 timer become activated for the
detection of the consecutive swings, if the measured impedance exit the operate area
and returns within the time delay, set on the tW waiting timer. The upper part of
figure 198 (internal input signal ZOUTL1, ZINL1, AND-gates and tP-timers) are
duplicated for phase L2 and L3. All tP1 and tP2 timers in the figure have the same
settings.

diagrams in figure 198 and figure 199 respectively.
The load encroachment characteristic can be switched off by setting the parameter
OperationLdCh = Off, but notice that the DFw and DRv will still be calculated from
RLdOutFw and RLdOutRv. The characteristic will in this case be only quadrilateral.
There are four different ways to form the internal INHIBIT signal:

Automatic switch onto fault logic ZCVPSOF - -
7.14.2 Functionality
Automatic switch onto fault logic ZCVPSOF is a function that gives an instantaneous
trip at the closing of breaker onto a fault. A dead-line detection check is provided to
activate ZCVPSOF when the line is dead.
Mho distance protections cannot operate for switch onto fault condition when the
phase voltages are close to zero. An additional logic based on UI Level is used for this
purpose.
IEC06000459 V3 EN
7.14.4 Signals
7.14.5 Settings
When the setting AutoInitMode is set to either Voltage, Current or Current & Voltage
modes, ZCVPSOF is activated by the dead-line detection.
The activation from the dead-line detection function is released if the internal signal
DeadLine from the UlLevel Detector function is activated at the same time as the
inputs ZACC and START_DLYD are not activated at least for the duration of tDLD.
The internal signal DeadLine from the UlLevel Detector function is activated under
any of the following conditions:
If all three-phase currents are below the setting IPh< and the AutoInitMode
setting is set to Current
If all three-phase voltages are below the setting UPh< and the AutoInitMode
setting is set to Voltage
If all three-phase currents and voltages are below the settings IPh< and UPh< and
the AutoInitMode setting is set to Current & Voltage
To get the TRIP signal, one of the different operate modes must also be selected with
the Mode parameter.
Mode = Impedance; TRIP is released if the input ZACC is activated (connected
normally to the nondirectional distance protection zone) or the START_DLYD
input is activated with a set time delay of tOperate
Mode = UlLevel; TRIP is released if UlLevel detector is activated
Mode = UlLvl&Imp; TRIP is released based either on the impedance-measured
criteria or UlLevel detection
The SOTF UlLevel Detector logic is based on current and voltage levels. The internal
signal SOTFUILevel is activated if the phase voltage is below the set UPh< and the
corresponding phase current is above the set IPh< for a time longer than the duration
set by tDuration.
The measured phase voltages and currents are provided as service values.

The complete logic remains blocked as long as there is a logical one on the BLOCK
functional input signal. Presence of the logical one on the STDEF functional input
signal also blocks the logic as long as this block is not released by the logical one on
the AR1P1 functional input signal. The functional output signal BLKZMPS remains
logical one as long as the function is not blocked externally (BLOCK is logical zero)
and the earth-fault is detected on protected line (STDEF is logical one), which is
connected in three-phase mode (AR1P1 is logical zero). Timer tBlkTr prolongs the
duration of this blocking condition, if the measured impedance remains within the
operate area of the Power Swing Detection (ZMRPSB) function (STPSD input
active). The BLKZMPS can be used to block the operation of the power-swing zones.
Logical one on functional input CSUR, which is normally connected to the TRIP
functional output of a power swing carrier sending zone, activates functional output
CS, if the function is not blocked by one of the above conditions. It also activates the
TRIP functional output.
Initiation of the CS functional output is possible only, if the STPSD input has been
active longer than the time delay set on the security timer tCS.
Simultaneous presence of the functional input signals PLTR_CRD and CR (local trip
condition) also activates the TRIP functional output, if the function is not blocked by
one of the above conditions and the STPSD signal has been present longer then the
time delay set on the trip timer tTrip.

The logic is disabled by a logical one on functional input BLOCK. It can start only if
the following conditions are simultaneously fulfilled:
STPSD functional input signal must be a logical zero. This means, that Power
swing detection (ZMRPSB) function must not detect power swinging over the
protected power line.
STZMPSD functional input must be a logical one. This means that the impedance
must be detected within the external boundary of ZMRPSB function.
STZMOR functional input must be a logical one. This means that the fault must
be detected by the overreaching distance protection zone, for example zone 2.
The STZMURPS functional output, which can be used in complete terminal logic
instead of a normal distance protection zone 1, becomes active under the following
conditions:
If the STZMUR signal appears at the same time as the STZMOR or if it appears
with a time delay, which is shorter than the time delay set on timer tDZ.
If the STZMUR signal appears after the STZMOR signal with a time delay longer
than the delay set on the tDZ timer, and remains active longer than the time delay
set on the tZL timer.
The BLKZMOR functional output signal can be used to block the operation of the
higher distance protection zone, if the fault has moved into the zone 1 operate area
after tDZ time delay.

Sudden events in an electric power system such as large changes in load, fault

swings. In a non-recoverable situation, the power swings become so severe that the
synchronism is lost, a condition referred to as pole slipping. The main purpose of the

An alarm is given when movement of the rotor is detected and the rotor angle exceeds
the angle set for 'WarnAngle'.
When the impedance crosses the slip line between ZB and ZC it counts as being in zone
1 and between ZC and ZA in zone 2. The entire distance ZA-ZB becomes zone 1 when
signal EXTZONE1 is high (external device detects the direction of the centre of
slipping).
After the first slip, the signals ZONE1 or ZONE2 and depending on the direction of
slip - either GEN or MOTOR are issued.
Every time pole slipping is detected, the impedance of the point where the slip line is
crossed and the instantaneous slip frequency are displayed as measurements.
Further slips are only detected, if they are in the same direction and if the rate of rotor
movement has reduced in relation to the preceding slip or the slip line is crossed in the
opposite direction outside ZA-ZB. A further slip in the opposite direction within ZA-
ZB resets all the signals and is then signalled itself as a first slip.
The TRIP1 tripping command and signal are generated after N1 slips in zone 1,
providing the rotor angle is less than TripAngle. The TRIP2 signal is generated after
N2 slips in zone 2, providing the rotor angle is less than TripAngle.

Out-of-step protection OOSPPAM 78
<
7.17.2 Functionality
The out-of-step protection OOSPPAM function in the IED can be used for both
generator protection and as well for line protection applications.
The main purpose of the OOSPPAM function is to detect, evaluate, and take the
required action during pole slipping occurrences in the power system.
The OOSPPAM function detects pole slip conditions and trips the generator as fast as
possible, after the first pole-slip if the center of oscillation is found to be in zone 1,
which normally includes the generator and its step-up power transformer. If the center
of oscillation is found to be further out in the power system, in zone 2, more than one
pole-slip is usually allowed before the generator-transformer unit is disconnected. A
parameter setting is available to take into account the circuit breaker opening time. If
there are several out-of-step relays in the power system, then the one which finds the
center of oscillation in its zone 1 should operate first.
Two current channels I3P1 and I3P2 are available in OOSPPAM function to allow the
direct connection of two groups of three-phase currents; that may be needed for very
powerful generators, with stator windings split into two groups per phase, when each
group is equipped with current transformers. The protection function performs a
simple summation of the currents of the two channels I3P1 and I3P2.

Figure 211: Loci of the complex impedance Z(R, X) for a typical case of generator
losing step after a short circuit that was not cleared fast enough
Under typical, normal load conditions, when the protected generator supplies the
active and the reactive power to the power system, the complex impedance Z(R, X) is
in the 1st quadrant, point 0 in Figure 211. One can see that under a three-phase fault
conditions, the centre of oscillation is at the point of fault, point 1, which is logical, as
all three voltages are zero or near zero at that point. Under the fault conditions the
generator accelerated and when the fault was finally cleared, the complex impedance
Z(R, X) jumped to the point 2. By that time, the generator has already lost its step, Z(R,
X) continues its way from the right-hand side to the left-hand side, and the 1st pole-
slip cannot be avoided. If the generator is not immediately disconnected, it will
continue pole-slipping see Figure 211, where two pole-slips (two pole-slip cycles)
are shown. Under out-of-step conditions, the centre of oscillation is where the locus of
the complex impedance Z(R, X) crosses the (impedance) line connecting the points
SE (Sending End), and RE (Receiving End). The point on the SE RE line where the
trajectory of Z(R, X) crosses the impedance line can change with time and is mainly
a function of the internal induced voltages at both ends of the equivalent two-machine
system, that is, at points SE and RE.
Rotor (power) angle can be thought of as the angle between the two lines, connecting
point 0 in Figure 211, that is, Z(R, X) under normal load, with the points SE and RE,
respectively. These two lines are not shown in Figure 211. Normal values of the power
angle, that is, under stable, steady-state, load conditions, are from 30 to 60 electrical
degrees. It can be observed in Figure 212 that the angle reaches 180 degrees when the
complex impedance Z(R, X) crosses the impedance line SE RE. It then changes the
sign, and continues from -180 degrees to 0 degrees, and so on. Figure 212 shows the
rotor (power) angle and the magnitude of Z(R, X) against time for the case from Figure
211.

It shall be observed that for a stable case, as shown in Figure 213, where the
disturbance does not cause the generator to lose step, the complex impedance Z(R, X)
exits the lens characteristic on the same side (point 4) it entered it (point 2), and never
re-enters the lens. In a stable case, where the protected generator remains in
synchronism, the complex impedance returns to quadrant 1, and, after the oscillations
fade, it returns to the initial normal load position (point 0), or near.

voltage and nominal current. The impedances from the position of the out-of-step
protection in the direction of the normal load flow can be taken as forward.
The out-of-step relay, as in Figure 215 looks into the system and the impedances in
that direction are forward impedances:
ForwardX = Xtr + Xline + Xeq (All values referred to generator voltage)
ForwardR = Rtr + Rline + Req (All values referred to generator voltage)
Resistances are much smaller than reactances, but in general can not be neglected. The
ratio (ForwardX + ReverseX) / (ForwardR + ReverseR) determines the inclination of
the Z-line, connecting the point SE (Sending End) and RE (Receiving End), and is
typically approximately 85 degrees. While the length of the Z-line depends on the
values of ForwardX, ReverseX, ForwardR, and ReverseR, the width of the lens is a
function of the setting StartAngle .The lens is broader for smaller values of the
StartAngle , and becomes a circle for StartAngle = 90 degrees.
When the complex impedance Z(R, X) enters the lens, pole slipping is imminent, and a
start signal is issued. The angle recommended to form the lens is 110 or 120 degrees,
because it is this rotor (power) angle where problems with dynamic stability usually
begin. Rotor (power) angle 120 degrees is sometimes called the angle of no return
because if this angle is reached under generator power swings, the generator is most
likely to lose step.
the direction from the right to the left, and exits the lens on the opposite side. When the
complex impedance exits the lens on the side opposite to its entrance, the 1st pole-slip
has already occurred and more pole-slips can be expected if the generator is not
disconnected. Figure 211 shows two pole-slips. Figures like Figure 211 and Figure
213 are always possible to draw by means of the analog output data from the pole-slip
function, and are of great help with eventual investigations of the performance of the
out-of-step function.
A pole-slip may be detected if it has a slip frequency lower than a maximum value
fsMax. The specific value of fsMax depends on the setting (parameter) StartAngle
(which determines the width of the lens characteristic). A parameter in this calculation
routine is the value of the minimum traverse time, traverseTimeMin. The minimum
traverse time is the minimum time that the travel of the complex impedance Z(R, X)
through the lens, from one side to the other, must last in order to recognize that a pole-
slip has occurred. The value of the internal constant traverseTimeMin is a function of
the set StartAngle.For values of StartAngle <= 110, traverseTimeMin = 50 ms. For
values StartAngle > 110, traverseTimeMin = 40 ms. The expression which relates the
maximum slip frequency fsMax and the traverseTimeMin is as follows:
1000 StartAngle []
fsMax [ Hz ] 1.000 -
traverseTimeMin [ ms ] 180 []
IECEQUATION2319 V1 EN (Equation 96)
The minimum value of fsMax is 6.994 Hz. When StartAngle = 110 degrees, fsMax =
7.777 Hz. This implies, that the default StartAngle = 110 degrees covers 90% of cases
as, the typical final slip frequency is between 2 - 5Hz. In practice, however, before the
slip frequency, for example 7.777 Hz, is reached, at least three pole-slips have
occurred. In other words, if we consider a linear increase of frequency from 50 Hz to
57.777 Hz, at least three pole-slips will occur (in fact: (57.777 - 50) / 2 = 3.889). The
exact instantaneous slip-frequency expressed in Hz (corresponding to number of pole
slips per second) is difficult to calculate. The easiest and most exact method is to
measure time between two successive pole slips. This means that, the instantaneous
slip-frequency is measured only after the second pole-slip, if the protected machine is
not already disconnected after the first pole-slip. The measured value of
slipsPerSecond (SLIPFREQ) is equal to the average slip-frequency of the machine
between the last two successive pole-slips.
Although out-of-step events are relatively rare, the out-of-step protection should take
care of the circuit breaker health. The electromechanical stress to which the breaker is
exposed shall be minimized. The maximum currents flowing under out-of-step
conditions can be even greater that those for a three-phase short circuit on generator
terminals; see Figure 217. The currents flowing are highest at rotor angle 180 degrees,
and smallest at 0 degrees, where relatively small currents flow. To open the circuit
breaker at 180 degrees, when not only the currents are highest, but the two internal
(that is, induced) voltages at both ends are in opposition, could be fatal for the circuit
breaker. There are two methods available in order to minimize the stress; the second
method is more advanced than the first one.

7.17.7.5 Design
At every execution of the function the following is calculated: active power P, reactive
power Q, rotor angle ROTORANG, quantity UCOSPHI, the positive-sequence current
CURRENT and voltage VOLTAGE. All other quantities, that can as well be read as
outputs, are only calculated if the Z(R, X) enters the limit of reach zone, which is a
circle in the complex (R X) plane. When the complex impedance Z(R, X) enters the
limit-of-reach region, the algorithm:
determines in which direction the impedance Z moves, that is, the direction the
lens is traversed
measures the time taken to traverse the lens from one side to the other one
If the traverse time is more than the limit 40 or 50 ms, a pole-slip is declared. If the
complex impedance Z(R, X) exits the lens on the same side it entered, then it is a stable
case and the protected machine is still in synchronism. If a pole-slip has been detected,
then it is determined in which zone the centre of oscillation is located. If the number
of actual pole-slips exceeds the maximum number of allowed pole-slips in either of
the zones, a trip command is issued taking care of the circuit breaker safety.

Phase preference logic PPLPHIZ - -
7.18.2 Functionality
Phase preference logic function PPLPHIZ is intended to be used in isolated or high
impedance earthed networks where there is a requirement to trip only one of the faulty
lines at cross-country fault.
Phase preference logic inhibits tripping for single phase-to-earth faults in isolated and
high impedance earthed networks, where such faults are not to be cleared by distance
protection. For cross-country faults, the logic selects either the leading or the lagging
phase-earth loop for measurement and initiates tripping of the preferred fault based on
the selected phase preference. A number of different phase preference combinations
are available for selection.

7.18.4 Signals
7.18.5 Settings
The function can be divided into two parts; one labeled voltage and current
discrimination and the second one labeled phase preference evaluation, see
figure 220.
The aim with the voltage and current discrimination part is to discriminate faulty
phases and to determine if there is a cross-country fault. If cross-country fault is
detected, an internal signal Detected cross-country fault is created and sent to the
phase preference part to be used in the evaluation process for determining the
condition for trip.
The voltage and current discrimination part gives phase segregated start signals if the
respective measured phase voltage is below the setting parameter UPN< at the same
time as the zero sequence voltage is above the setting parameter 3U0>. If there is a
start in any phase the START output signal will be activated.
1. The magnitude of 3I0 has been above the setting parameter IN> for a time longer
than the setting of pick-up timer tIN.
2. The magnitude of 3I0 has been above the setting parameter IN> at the same time
as the magnitude of 3U0 has been above the setting parameter 3U0> during a time
longer than the setting of pick-up timer tUN.
3. The magnitude of 3I0 has been above the setting parameter IN> at the same time
as one of the following conditions are fulfilled:
the measured phase-to-phase voltage in at least one of the phase
combinations has been below the setting parameter UPP< for more than 20
ms.
At least two of the phase voltages are below the setting parameter UPN< for
more than 20 ms.
The second part, phase preference evaluation, uses the internal signal
DetectCrossCountry from the voltage and current evaluation together with the input
signal STCND together with phase selection start condition (from phase selection
functions) connected to input STCND, and the information from the setting parameter
OperMode are used to determine the condition for trip. To release the Phase
preference logic, at least two out of three phases must be faulty. The fault
classification whether it is a single phase-to-earth, two-phase or cross-country fault
and which phase to be tripped at cross-country fault is converted into a binary coded
signal and sent to the distance protection measuring zone to release the correct
measuring zone according to the setting of OperMode. This is done by activating the
output ZREL and it shall be connected to the input STCND on the distance zone
measuring element.
The code built up for release of the measuring fault loops is as follows: STCND =
L1N*1 + L2N*2 + L3N*4 + L1L2*8 + L2L3*16 + L3L1*32. Example: if only L1N
start the value is 1, if start L1N and L3N are choosen, the value is 1+4=5.
The release signals from phase selection will only be gated with the cross-country
check from IN and UN but without time delay. If no phase selection start has occurred,
the release is based on current and voltage discriminating part only.
The input signal STCND consist of binary information of fault type and is connected
to the output STCND on phase selection function. The fault must be activated in at
least two phases to be classified as a cross-country fault in the phase preference part
of the logic.
The input signals RELxxx are additional fault release signals that can be connected to
external protection functions through binary input.
The output START and trip signals can be blocked by activating the input BLOCK

A common setting for all steps, StartPhSel, is used to specify the number of phase
currents to be high to enable operation. The settings can be chosen: 1 out of 3, 2 out of 3
or 3 out of 3.
If DFT option is selected then only the RMS value of the fundamental frequency
components of each phase current is derived. Influence of DC current component and
higher harmonic current components are almost completely suppressed. If RMS
option is selected then the true RMS values is used. The true RMS value in addition
to the fundamental frequency component includes the contribution from the current
DC component as well as from higher current harmonic. The selected current values
are fed to OC4PTOC.
In a comparator, the DFT or RMS values are compared to the set operation current
value of the function (I1>, I2>, I3> or I4>) for each phase current. If a phase current
is larger than the set operation current, outputs START, STx, STL1, STL2 and STL3
are activated without delay. Output signals STL1, STL2 and STL3 are common for all
steps. This means that the lowest set step will initiate the activation. The START
signal is common for all three phases and all steps. It shall be noted that the selection
of measured value (DFT or RMS) do not influence the operation of directional part of
OC4PTOC.
Service value for individually measured phase currents are also available on the local
HMI for OC4PTOC function, which simplifies testing, commissioning and in service
operational checking of the function.
A harmonic restrain of the function can be chosen. A set 2nd harmonic current in
relation to the fundamental current is used. The 2nd harmonic current is taken from the
pre-processing of the phase currents and the relation is compared to a set restrain
current level.
The function can be directional. The direction of the fault current is given as current
angle in relation to the voltage angle. The fault current and fault voltage for the
directional function is dependent of the fault type. To enable directional measurement
at close in faults, causing low measured voltage, the polarization voltage is a
combination of the apparent voltage (85%) and a memory voltage (15%). The
following combinations are used.
U refL1L 2 = U L1 - U L 2 I dirL1L 2 = I L1 - I L 2
EQUATION1449 V1 EN (Equation 97)
U refL 2 L 3 = U L 2 - U L 3 I dirL 2 L 3 = I L 2 - I L 3

U refL 3 = U L 3 I dirL 3 = I L 3
EQUATION1454 V1 EN (Equation 102)
For close-in three-phase faults, the U1L1M memory voltage, based on the same
positive sequence voltage, ensures correct directional discrimination.
The memory voltage is used for 100 ms or until the positive sequence voltage is
restored.
If the current is still above the set value of the minimum operating current
(between 10 and 30% of the set terminal rated current IBase), the condition seals
in.
If the fault has caused tripping, the trip endures.
If the fault was detected in the reverse direction, the measuring element in
the reverse direction remains in operation.
If the current decreases below the minimum operating value, the memory resets
until the positive sequence voltage exceeds 10% of its rated value.
The directional setting is given as a characteristic angle AngleRCA for the function and
an angle window ROADir.

The default value of AngleRCA is 65. The parameters AngleROA gives the angle
sector from AngleRCA for directional borders.
A minimum current for directional phase start current signal can be set. IminOpPhSel
is the start level for directional evaluation of IL1, IL2 and IL3. The directional signals
release the overcurrent measurement in respective phases if their current amplitudes
are higher than the start level (IminOpPhSel) and the direction of the current is
according to the set direction of the step.
If no blockings are given, the start signals will start the timers of the step. The time
characteristic for each step can be chosen as definite time delay or inverse time
characteristic. A wide range of standardized inverse time characteristics is available.It
is also possible to create a tailor made time characteristic.
The possibilities for inverse time characteristics are described in section "Inverse
characteristics".

2. U3P, input used for Voltage Polarizing Quantity. Supply either zero or

3. I3PPOL, input used for Current Polarizing Quantity. Provide polarizing
current to the directional functionality. This current is normally taken from the
grounding of a power transformer.
4. I3PDIR, input used for Directional detection. Supply either zero or negative

These inputs are connected from the corresponding pre-processing function blocks in
the Configuration Tool within PCM600.
The function always uses Residual Current (3I0) for its operating quantity. The
residual current can be:
where:
IL1, IL2 and IL3 are fundamental frequency phasors of three individual phase currents.
The residual current is pre-processed by a discrete Fourier filter. Thus the phasor of
the fundamental frequency component of the residual current is derived. The phasor
magnitude is used within the EF4PTOC protection to compare it with the set operation
current value of the four steps (IN1>, IN2>, IN3> or IN4>). If the residual current is
larger than the set operation current and the step is used in non-directional mode a
signal from the comparator for this step is set to true. This signal will, without delay,
activate the output signal STINx (x=step 1-4) for this step and a common START
signal.
A polarizing quantity is used within the protection in order to determine the direction
to the earth fault (Forward/Reverse).
The function can be set to use voltage polarizing, current polarizing or dual polarizing.
Current polarizing
When current polarizing is selected the function will use an external residual current
(3I0) as polarizing quantity IPol. This current can be:
where:
IL1, IL2 and IL3 are fundamental frequency phasors of three individual phase currents.
The residual current is pre-processed by a discrete fourier filter. Thus the phasor of the
fundamental frequency component of the polarizing current is derived. This phasor is
then multiplied with pre-set equivalent zero-sequence source Impedance in order to
calculate equivalent polarizing voltage UIPol in accordance with the following
formula:
which will be then used, together with the phasor of the operating current, in order to
determine the direction to the earth fault (Forward/Reverse).
Dual polarizing
When dual polarizing is selected the function will use the vectorial sum of the voltage
based and current based polarizing in accordance with the following formula:
UPol and IPol can be either zero sequence component or negative sequence
component depending upon the user selection.
Then the phasor of the total polarizing voltage UTotPol will be used, together with the
phasor of the operating current, to determine the direction of the earth fault (Forward/
Reverse).
The individual steps within the protection can be set as non-directional. When this
setting is selected it is then possible via function binary input BLKSTx to provide
external directional control (that is, torque control) by for example using one of the
following functions if available in the IED:
Zero sequence components will be used for detecting directionality for earth fault
function. In some cases zero sequence quantities might detect directionality wrong.
Negative sequence quantities will be used in such scenario. The user can select either
zero sequence components or negative sequence components for detecting
directionality with the parameter SeqTypeIPol. I3PDIR input always connected to the
same source as I3P input.
The base quantities are entered as global settings for all functions in the IED. Base
current (IBase) shall be entered as rated phase current of the protected object in
primary amperes. Base voltage (UBase) shall be entered as rated phase-to-phase
voltage of the protected object in primary kV.
Each overcurrent step uses operating quantity Iop (residual current) as measuring
quantity. Each of the four residual overcurrent steps has the following built-in
facilities:
Time delay related settings. By these parameter settings the properties like
definite time delay, minimum operating time for inverse curves, reset time delay
and parameters to define user programmable inverse curve are defined.
Supervision by second harmonic blocking feature (On/Off). By this parameter
setting it is possible to prevent operation of the step if the second harmonic
content in the residual current exceeds the preset level.
Multiplier for scaling of the set residual current pickup value by external binary
signal. By this parameter setting it is possible to increase residual current pickup
value when function binary input ENMULTx has logical value 1.

Blocking from 2nd harmonic element activates if all three criteria are satisfied:
If all the above three conditions are fulfilled then ST2NDHRM function output signal
is set to logical value one and harmonic restraining feature to the function block is
applicable.
In addition to the basic functionality explained above the 2nd harmonic blocking can
be set in such way to seal-in until residual current disappears. This feature might be
required to stabilize EF4PTOC during switching of parallel transformers in the
station. In case of parallel transformers there is a risk of sympathetic inrush current. If
one of the transformers is in operation, and the parallel transformer is switched in, the
asymmetric inrush current of the switched in transformer will cause partial saturation
of the transformer already in service. This is called transferred saturation. The 2nd
harmonic of the inrush currents of the two transformers is in phase opposition. The
summation of the two currents thus gives a small 2nd harmonic current. The residual
fundamental current is however significant. The inrush current of the transformer in
service before the parallel transformer energizing, is a little delayed compared to the
first transformer. Therefore we have high 2nd harmonic current component initially.
After a short period this current is however small and the normal 2nd harmonic
blocking resets. If the BlkParTransf function is activated the 2nd harmonic restrain
signal is latched as long as the residual current measured by the relay is larger than a
selected step current level by using setting UseStartValue.
This feature has been called Block for Parallel Transformers. This 2nd harmonic seal-
in feature is activated when all of the following three conditions are simultaneously
fulfilled:
Once Block for Parallel Transformers is activated the basic 2nd harmonic blocking
signal is sealed-in until the residual current magnitude falls below a value defined by
parameter setting UseStartValue (see condition 3 above).
Simplified logic diagram for 2nd harmonic blocking feature is shown in figure 233.

Integrated in the four step residual overcurrent protection are Switch on to fault logic
(SOTF) and Under-Time logic. The setting parameter SOTF is set to activate either
SOTF or Under-Time logic or both. When the circuit breaker is closing there is a risk
to close it onto a permanent fault, for example during an autoreclosing sequence. The
SOTF logic will enable fast fault clearance during such situations. The time during
which SOTF and Under-Time logics will be active after activation is defined by the
setting parameter t4U.
The SOTF logic uses the start signal from step 2 or step 3 for its operation, selected by
setting parameter StepForSOTF. The SOTF logic can be activated either from change
in circuit breaker position or from circuit breaker close command pulse. The setting
parameter ActivationSOTF can be set for activation of CB position open change, CB
position closed change or CB close command. In case of a residual current start from
step 2 or 3 (dependent on setting) the function will give a trip after a set delay tSOTF.
This delay is normally set to a short time (default 200 ms).
The Under-Time logic always uses the start signal from the step 4. The Under-Time
logic will normally be set to operate for a lower current level than the SOTF function.
The Under-Time logic can also be blocked by the 2nd harmonic restraint feature. This
enables high sensitivity even if power transformer inrush currents can occur at breaker
closing. This logic is typically used to detect asymmetry of CB poles immediately
after switching of the circuit breaker. The Under-Time logic is activated either from
change in circuit breaker position or from circuit breaker close and open command
pulses. This selection is done by setting parameter ActUnderTime. In case of a start
from step 4 this logic will give a trip after a set delay tUnderTime. This delay is
normally set to a relatively short time (default 300 ms). Practically the Under-Time
logic acts as circuit breaker pole-discordance protection, but it is only active
immediately after breaker switching. The Under-Time logic can only be used in
solidly or low impedance grounded systems.

These inputs are connected from the corresponding pre-processing function blocks in

Four step negative sequence overcurrent protection NS4PTOC function always uses
negative sequence current (I2) for its operating quantity. The negative sequence
current is calculated from three-phase current input within the IED. The pre-
processing block calculates I2 from the first three inputs into the pre-processing block
by using the following formula:
1
I2 = (
IL1 + a IL 2 + a IL 3
2
)
3
EQUATION2266 V2 EN (Equation 108)
where:
IL1, IL2 and IL3 are fundamental frequency phasors of three individual phase currents.
a is so called operator which gives a phase shift of 120 deg, that is, a = 1120 deg
a2 similarly gives a phase shift of 240 deg, that is, a2 = 1240 deg
The phasor magnitude is used within the NS4PTOC protection to compare it with the
set operation current value of the four steps (I1>, I2>, I3> or I4>). If the negative
sequence current is larger than the set operation current and the step is used in non-
directional mode a signal from the comparator for this step is set to true. This signal,
without delay, activates the output signal STx (x=1 - 4) for this step and a common
START signal.
A polarizing quantity is used within the protection to determine the direction to the
fault (Forward/Reverse).
Four step negative sequence overcurrent protection NS4PTOC function uses the
voltage polarizing method.
NS4PTOC uses the negative sequence voltage -U2 as polarizing quantity U3P. This
voltage is calculated from three phase voltage input within the IED. The pre-
processing block calculates -U2 from the first three inputs into the pre-processing
block by using the following formula:
1
UPol = -U 2 = - (UL1 + a 2 UL 2 + a UL3 )
3
EQUATION2267 V2 EN
where:
UL1, UL2 and UL3 are fundamental frequency phasors of three individual phase voltages.
To use this all three phase-to-earth voltages must be connected to three IED VT inputs.
This phasor is used together with the phasor of the operating current, in order to
determine the direction to the fault (Forward/Reverse).To enable voltage polarizing
the magnitude of polarizing voltage must be bigger than a minimum level defined by
setting UpolMin.
Note that U2 is used to determine the location of the fault. This ensures the required
inversion of the polarizing voltage within the function.
The individual steps within the protection can be set as non-directional. When this
setting is selected it is then possible via function binary input BLKSTx (where x
indicates the relevant step within the protection) to provide external directional
control (that is, torque control) by for example using one of the following functions if
available in the IED:

Sensitive directional residual over SDEPSDE - 67N
current and power protection
8.6.2 Functionality
In networks with high impedance earthing, the phase-to-earth fault current is
significantly smaller than the short circuit currents. Another difficulty for earth fault
protection is that the magnitude of the phase-to-earth fault current is almost
independent of the fault location in the network.
Directional residual current can be used to detect and give selective trip of phase-to-
earth faults in high impedance earthed networks. The protection uses the residual
current component 3I0 cos , where is the angle between the residual current and
the residual voltage (-3U0), compensated with a characteristic angle. Alternatively,
the function can be set to strict 3I0 level with a check of angle .
Directional residual power can also be used to detect and give selective trip of phase-
to-earth faults in high impedance earthed networks. The protection uses the residual
power component 3I0 3U0 cos , where is the angle between the residual current
and the reference residual voltage, compensated with a characteristic angle.
A normal non-directional residual current function can also be used with definite or
inverse time delay.
A backup neutral point voltage function is also available for non-directional residual
overvoltage protection.
In an isolated network, that is, the network is only coupled to earth via the capacitances
between the phase conductors and earth, the residual current always has -90 phase
shift compared to the residual voltage (3U0). The characteristic angle is chosen to -90
in such a network.
In resistance earthed networks or in Petersen coil earthed, with a parallel resistor, the
active residual current component (in phase with the residual voltage) should be used
for the earth fault detection. In such networks, the characteristic angle is chosen to 0.
As the amplitude of the residual current is independent of the fault location, the
selectivity of the earth fault protection is achieved by time selectivity.
When should the sensitive directional residual overcurrent protection be used and
when should the sensitive directional residual power protection be used? Consider the

Directional functions
For all the directional functions there are directional start signals STFW: fault in the
forward direction, and STRV: fault in the reverse direction. Even if the directional
function is set to operate for faults in the forward direction, a fault in the reverse
direction will give the start signal STRV. Also if the directional function is set to
operate for faults in the reverse direction, a fault in the forward direction will give the
start signal STFW.
The non-directional function is using the calculated residual current, derived as sum
of the phase currents. This will give a better ability to detect cross-country faults with
high residual current, also when dedicated core balance CT for the sensitive earth fault
protection will saturate.
This variant has the possibility of choice between definite time delay and inverse time

8.7.2 Functionality
The increasing utilization of the power system closer to the thermal limits has
generated a need of a thermal overload protection for power lines.
A thermal overload will often not be detected by other protection functions and the
introduction of the thermal overload protection can allow the protected circuit to
operate closer to the thermal limits.
The three-phase current measuring protection has an I2t characteristic with settable
time constant and a thermal memory. The temperature is displayed in either Celsius or
Fahrenheit, depending on whether the function used is LCPTTR (Celsius) or LFPTTR
(Fahrenheit).
An alarm level gives early warning to allow operators to take action well before the
line is tripped.
Estimated time to trip before operation, and estimated time to reclose after operation

When the component temperature reaches the set alarm level AlarmTemp the output

TripTemp the output signal TRIP is set.
There is also a calculation of the present time to operate with the present current. This
calculation is only performed if the final temperature is calculated to be above the

Q - Qoperate

Q final - Q n
EQUATION1169 V1 EN (Equation 112)
After a trip, caused by the thermal overload protection, there can be a lockout to
reconnect the tripped circuit. The output lockout signal LOCKOUT is activated when
the device temperature is above the set lockout release temperature setting ReclTemp.
The time to lockout release is calculated by the following cooling time calculation.
The thermal content of the function can be reset with input RESET.
Q - Qlockout _ release
tlockout _ release = -t ln final
Q final - Q n
EQUATION1170 V1 EN (Equation 113)
In the above equation, the final temperature is equal to the set or measured ambient
temperature. The calculated time to reset of lockout is available as a real figure signal,
TENRECL. This signal is enabled when the LOCKOUT output is activated.
In some applications the measured current can involve a number of parallel lines. This
is often used where one bay connects several parallel cables. By setting the parameter
IMult to the number of parallel lines (cables) the actual current on one line is used in
the protection algorithm by dividing the measured current by the total number of
cables. To activate this option the input ENMULT must be activated.
The protection has a reset input: RESET. By activating this input the calculated
temperature is reset to its default initial value. This is useful during testing when
secondary injected current has given a calculated false temperature level.

8.8.2 Functionality
Breaker failure protection (CCRBRF) ensures a fast backup tripping of the
surrounding breakers in case the own breaker fails to open. CCRBRF can be current-
based, contact-based or an adaptive combination of these two conditions.
A current check with extremely short reset time is used as check criterion to achieve
high security against inadvertent operation.
Contact check criteria can be used where the fault current through the breaker is small.
CCRBRF can be single- or three-phase initiated to allow use with single phase
tripping applications. For the three-phase version of CCRBRF the current criteria can
be set to operate only if two out of four for example, two phases or one phase plus the
residual current start. This gives a higher security to the back-up trip command.

The start signal can be phase selective or general (for all three phases). Phase selective
start signals enable single pole re-trip function. This means that a second attempt to
open the breaker is done. The re-trip attempt is made after a set time delay t1. For
transmission lines, single pole trip and autoreclosing is often used. The re-trip
function can be phase selective if it is initiated from phase selective line protection.
The re-trip function can be done with or without current check. With the current check,
the re-trip is only performed if the current through the circuit breaker is larger than the
operate current level.
The start signal can be an internal or external protection trip signal. This signal will
start the back-up trip timer. The function detects the successful breaker opening, either
by detection of low current through RMS evaluation and a special adapted current
algorithm or by open contact indication. The special algorithm enables a very fast
detection of successful breaker opening, that is, fast resetting of the current
measurement. If the current and/or contact detection has not detected breaker opening
before the back-up timer has run its time a back-up trip is initiated.
The minimum length of the re-trip pulse, the back-up trip pulse and the back-up
trip pulse 2 are settable. The re-trip pulse, the back-up trip pulse and the back-up
trip pulse 2 will however sustain as long as there is an indication of closed
breaker.
In the current detection it is possible to use three different options: 1 out of 3
where it is sufficient to detect failure to open (high current) in one pole, 1 out of 4
where it is sufficient to detect failure to open (high current) in one pole or high
residual current and 2 out of 4 where at least two current (phase current and/or
residual current) shall be high for breaker failure detection.
The current detection level for the residual current can be set different from the
setting of phase current detection.
It is possible to have different back-up time delays for single-phase faults and for
multi-phase faults.
The back-up trip can be made without current check. It is possible to have this
option activated for small load currents only.
It is possible to have instantaneous back-up trip function if a signal is high if the
circuit breaker is incapable to clear faults, for example at low gas pressure.

The input signal BLOCK is high
The input signal BLKDBYAR is high
The BLOCK signal is a general purpose blocking signal of the pole discordance
protection. It can be connected to a binary input in the IED in order to receive a block
command from external devices or can be software connected to other internal
functions in the IED itself in order to receive a block command from internal
functions. Through OR gate it can be connected to both binary inputs and internal
function outputs.
The BLKDBYAR signal blocks the pole discordance operation when a single phase
autoreclosing cycle is in progress. It can be connected to the output signal 1PT1 on
SMBRRECfunction block. If the autoreclosing function is an external device, then
BLKDBYAR has to be connected to a binary input in the IED and this binary input is
connected to a signalization 1phase autoreclosing in progress from the external
autoreclosing device.
If the pole discordance protection is enabled, then two different criteria can generate
a trip signal TRIP:
If one or two poles of the circuit breaker have failed to open or to close the pole
discordance status, then the function input EXTPDIND is activated from the pole
discordance signal derived from the circuit breaker auxiliary contacts (one NO contact
for each phase connected in parallel, and in series with one NC contact for each phase
connected in parallel) and, after a settable time interval tTrip (0-60 s), a 150 ms trip
pulse command TRIP is generated by the Polediscordance function.
any phase current is lower than CurrUnsymLevel of the highest current in the
three phases.
the highest phase current is greater than CurrRelLevel of IBase.
If these conditions are true, an unsymmetrical condition is detected and the internal
signal INPS is turned high. This detection is enabled to generate a trip after a set time
delay tTrip if the detection occurs in the next 200 ms after the circuit breaker has
received a command to open trip or close and if the unbalance persists. The 200 ms
limitation is for avoiding unwanted operation during unsymmetrical load conditions.
The pole discordance protection is informed that a trip or close command has been
given to the circuit breaker through the inputs CLOSECMD (for closing command
information) and OPENCMD (for opening command information). These inputs can
be connected to terminal binary inputs if the information are generated from the field
(that is from auxiliary contacts of the close and open push buttons) or may be software
connected to the outputs of other integrated functions (that is close command from a
control function or a general trip from integrated protections).

8.11.2 Functionality
The task of a generator in a power plant is to convert mechanical energy available as
a torque on a rotating shaft to electric energy.
Sometimes, the mechanical power from a prime mover may decrease so much that it
does not cover bearing losses and ventilation losses. Then, the synchronous generator
becomes a synchronous motor and starts to take electric power from the rest of the
power system. This operating state, where individual synchronous machines operate
as motors, implies no risk for the machine itself. If the generator under consideration
is very large and if it consumes lots of electric power, it may be desirable to disconnect
it to ease the task for the rest of the power system.
Often, the motoring condition may imply that the turbine is in a very dangerous state.
The task of the low forward power protection is to protect the turbine and not to protect
the generator itself.
Figure 261 illustrates the low forward power and reverse power protection with
underpower and overpower functions respectively. The underpower IED gives a
higher margin and should provide better dependability. On the other hand, the risk for
unwanted operation immediately after synchronization may be higher. One should set
the underpower IED to trip if the active power from the generator is less than about
2%. One should set the overpower IED to trip if the power flow from the network to
the generator is higher than 1% depending on the type of turbine.
When IED with a metering class input CTs is used pickup can be set to more sensitive
value (e.g.0,5% or even to 0,2%).

The active and reactive power is available from the function and can be used for
monitoring and fault recording.
To avoid instability there is a settable hysteresis in the power function. The absolute
hysteresis of the stage1(2) is Hysteresis1(2) = abs (Power1(2) + drop-power1(2)). For
generator low forward power protection the power setting is very low, normally down
to 0.02 p.u. of rated generator power. The hysteresis should therefore be set to a
smaller value. The drop-power value of stage1 can be calculated with the Power1(2),
Hysteresis1(2): drop-power1(2) = Power1(2) + Hysteresis1(2)
For small power1 values the hysteresis1 may not be too big, because the drop-
power1(2) would be too small. In such cases, the hysteresis1 greater than (0.5
Power1(2)) is corrected to the minimal value.
If the measured power drops under the drop-power1(2) value, the function will reset
after a set time DropDelay1(2). The reset means that the start signal will drop out and
that the timer of the stage will reset.
In order to minimize the influence of the noise signal on the measurement it is possible
to introduce the recursive, low pass filtering of the measured values for S (P, Q). This
will make slower measurement response to the step changes in the measured quantity.
Filtering is performed in accordance with the following recursive formula:
S = k SOld + (1 - k ) SCalculated
EQUATION1959 V1 EN (Equation 124)
Where
S is a new measured value to be used for the protection function
Sold is the measured value given from the function in previous execution cycle
k is settable parameter by the end user which influence the filter properties
TD
Default value for parameter k is 0.00. With this value the new calculated value is
immediately given out without any filtering (that is without any additional delay).
When k is set to value bigger than 0, the filtering is enabled. A typical value for k=0.92
in case of slow operating functions.
Measured currents and voltages used in the Power function can be calibrated to get
class 0.5 measuring accuracy. This is achieved by amplitude and angle compensation
at 5, 30 and 100% of rated current and voltage. The compensation below 5% and
above 100% is constant and linear in between, see example in figure 264.
IEC05000652 V2 EN
The first current and voltage phase in the group signals will be used as reference and
the amplitude and angle compensation will be used for related input signals.
Analog outputs (Monitored data) from the function can be used for service values or
in the disturbance report. The active power is provided as MW value: P, or in percent

8.12.2 Functionality
The task of a generator in a power plant is to convert mechanical energy available as
a torque on a rotating shaft to electric energy.
Sometimes, the mechanical power from a prime mover may decrease so much that it
does not cover bearing losses and ventilation losses. Then, the synchronous generator
becomes a synchronous motor and starts to take electric power from the rest of the
power system. This operating state, where individual synchronous machines operate
as motors, implies no risk for the machine itself. If the generator under consideration
is very large and if it consumes lots of electric power, it may be desirable to disconnect
it to ease the task for the rest of the power system.
Often, the motoring condition may imply that the turbine is in a very dangerous state.
The task of the reverse power protection is to protect the turbine and not to protect the
generator itself.
Figure 265 illustrates the low forward power and reverse power protection with
underpower and overpower functions respectively. The underpower IED gives a
higher margin and should provide better dependability. On the other hand, the risk for
unwanted operation immediately after synchronization may be higher. One should set
the underpower IED to trip if the active power from the generator is less than about
2%. One should set the overpower IED to trip if the power flow from the network to
the generator is higher than 1%.
When IED with a metering class input CTs is used pickup can be set to more sensitive
value (e.g.0,5% or even to 0,2%).

magnitude of the measured voltage quantity is lower than the set level.
The start signal starts a definite time delay. If the value of the start signal is logical
TRUE for longer than the set time delay, the undervoltage step sets its trip signal to
logical TRUE.

Trip signal issuing requires that the undervoltage condition continues for at least the
user set time delay. This time delay is set by the parameter t1 and t2 for definite time
mode (DT) and by some special voltage level dependent time curves for the inverse
time mode (IDMT). If the start condition, with respect to the measured voltage ceases
during the delay time, and is not fulfilled again within a user defined reset time
(tReset1 and tReset2 for the definite time and tIReset1 and tIReset2pickup for the
inverse time) the corresponding start output is reset. Here it should be noted that after
leaving the hysteresis area, the start condition must be fulfilled again and it is not
sufficient for the signal to only return back to the hysteresis area. Note that for the
undervoltage function the IDMT reset time is constant and does not depend on the
voltage fluctuations during the drop-off period. However, there are three ways to reset
the timer, either the timer is reset instantaneously, or the timer value is frozen during
the reset time, or the timer value is linearly decreased during the reset time. See

If the measured voltage level decreases below the setting of IntBlkStVal1, either the
trip output of step 1, or both the trip and the START outputs of step 1, are blocked. The
characteristic of the blocking is set by the IntBlkSel1 parameter. This internal blocking
can also be set to Off resulting in no voltage based blocking. Corresponding settings
and functionality are valid also for step 2.
In case of disconnection of the high voltage component the measured voltage will get
very low. The event will START both the under voltage function and the blocking
function, as seen in figure 283. The delay of the blocking function must be set less than
the time delay of under voltage function.

The time delay characteristic is individually chosen for the two steps and can be either,
definite time delay or inverse time delay.
The voltage related settings are made in percent of the global set base voltage UBase,
which is set in kV, phase-to-phase.
The setting of the analog inputs are given as primary phase-to-earth or phase-to-phase
voltage. OV2PTOV will operate if the voltage gets higher than the set percentage of
the set base voltage UBase. This means operation for phase-to-earth voltage over:
All the three voltages are measured continuously, and compared with the set values,
U1> for Step 1 and U2> for Step 2. The parameters OpMode1 and OpMode2
influence the requirements to activate the START outputs. Either 1 out of 3, 2 out of 3
or 3 out of 3 measured voltages have to be higher than the corresponding set point to
issue the corresponding START signal.
The time delay for the two steps can be either definite time delay (DT) or inverse time
delay (IDMT). For the inverse time delay four different modes are available:

When the denominator in the expression is equal to zero the time delay will be infinity.
There will be an undesired discontinuity. Therefore, a tuning parameter CrvSatn is set
to compensate for this phenomenon. In the voltage interval Un> up to Un> (1.0 +
CrvSatn/100) the used voltage will be: Un> (1.0 + CrvSatn/100). If the

Operation of the trip signal requires that the overvoltage condition continues for at
least the user set time delay. This time delay is set by the parameter t1 and t2 for
definite time mode (DT) and by selected voltage level dependent time curves for the
inverse time mode (IDMT). If the START condition, with respect to the measured
voltage ceases during the delay time, and is not fulfilled again within a user defined
reset time (tReset1 and tReset2 for the definite time and tIReset1 and tIReset2 for the
inverse time) the corresponding START output is reset, after that the defined reset
time has elapsed. Here it should be noted that after leaving the hysteresis area, the
START condition must be fulfilled again and it is not sufficient for the signal to only
return back to the hysteresis area. The hysteresis value for each step is settable
HystAbsn (where n means either 1 or 2 respectively) to allow a high and accurate reset
of the function. For OV2PTOV the IDMT reset time is constant and does not depend
on the voltage fluctuations during the drop-off period. However, there are three ways
to reset the timer: either the timer is reset instantaneously, or the timer value is frozen
during the reset time, or the timer value is linearly decreased during the reset time.

There will be an undesired discontinuity. Therefore a tuning parameter CrvSatn is set
to compensate for this phenomenon. In the voltage interval Un> up to Un> (1.0 +

The details of the different inverse time characteristics are shown in section "Inverse
characteristics".
TRIP signal issuing requires that the residual overvoltage condition continues for at
least the user set time delay. This time delay is set by the parameter t1 and t2 for
definite time mode (DT) and by some special voltage level dependent time curves for
the inverse time mode (IDMT).
If the START condition, with respect to the measured voltage ceases during the delay
time, and is not fulfilled again within a user defined reset time (tReset1 and tReset2 for
the definite time and tIReset1 and tIReset2 for the inverse time) the corresponding
START output is reset, after the defined reset time has elapsed.
Here it should be noted that after leaving the hysteresis area, the START condition
must be fulfilled again and it is not sufficient for the signal to only return back to the
hysteresis area. Also notice that for the overvoltage function IDMT reset time is
constant and does not depend on the voltage fluctuations during the drop-off period.
However, there are three ways to reset the timer, either the timer is reset
instantaneously, or the timer value is frozen during the reset time, or the timer value
is linearly decreased during the reset time. See figure 287 and figure 288.

When the laminated core of a power transformer or generator is subjected to a
magnetic flux density beyond its design limits, stray flux will flow into non-laminated
components that are not designed to carry flux. This will cause eddy currents to flow.
These eddy currents can cause excessive heating and severe damage to insulation and
adjacent parts in a relatively short time. The function has settable inverse operating
curves and independent alarm stages.

Modern design transformers are more sensitive to overexcitation than earlier types.
This is a result of the more efficient designs and designs which rely on the
improvement in the uniformity of the excitation level of modern systems. If an
emergency that causes overexcitation does occur, transformers may be damaged

EQUATION898 V2 EN (Equation 153)

IECEQUATION2296 V1 EN (Equation 154)
Protection against overexcitation is based on calculation of the relative volt per hertz
(V/Hz) ratio. Protection initiates a reduction of excitation, and if this fails, or if this is
not possible, the TRIP signal will disconnect the transformer from the source after a
delay ranging from seconds to minutes, typically 5-10 seconds.
The IEC 60076 - 1 standard requires that transformers operate continuously at not
more than 10% above rated voltage at no load, and rated frequency. At no load, the
ratio of the actual generator terminal voltage to the actual frequency should not exceed
1.1 times the ratio of transformer rated voltage to the rated frequency on a sustained
basis, see equation 155.

IECEQUATION2297 V2 EN (Equation 156)
where:
V/Hz> is the maximum continuously allowed voltage at no load, and rated frequency.
V/Hz> is a setting parameter. The setting range is 100% to 180%. If the user does not
know exactly what to set, then the default value for V/Hz> = 110 % given by the IEC
60076-1 standard shall be used.

M ( p.u.) =
Ur fr
IECEQUATION2299 V1 EN (Equation 157)
It is clear from the above formula that, for an unloaded power transformer, M = 1 for
any E and f, where the ratio E/f is equal to Ur/fr. A power transformer is not
overexcited as long as the relative excitation is M V/Hz>, V/Hz> expressed in % of
Ur/fr.
As an example, at a transformer with a 15% short circuit impedance Xsc, the full load,
0.8 power factor, 105% voltage on the load side, the actual flux level in the transformer
core, will not be significantly different from that at the 110% voltage, no load, rated
frequency, provided that the short circuit impedance X can be equally divided
between the primary and the secondary winding: Xleak = Xleak1 = Xleak2 = Xsc / 2
= 0.075 pu.
OEXPVPH calculates the internal induced voltage E if Xleak (meaning the leakage
reactance of the winding where OEXPVPH is connected) is known to the user. The
assumption taken for two-winding power transformers that Xleak = Xsc / 2 is
unfortunately most often not true. For a two-winding power transformer the leakage
reactances of the two windings depend on how the windings are located on the core
with respect to each other. In the case of three-winding power transformers the
situation is still more complex. If a user has the knowledge on the leakage reactance,
then it should applied. If a user has no idea about it, Xleak can be set to Xc/2.
OEXPVPH protection will then take the given measured voltage U, as the induced
voltage E.
If, for example, voltage UL1L2 is fed to OEXPVPH, then currents IL1, and IL2 must
be applied. From these two input currents, current IL1L2 = IL1 - IL2 is calculated
internally by the OEXPVPH algorithm. The phase-to-phase voltage must be higher
than 70% of the rated value, otherwise the protection algorithm exits without
calculating the excitation. ERROR output is set to 1, and the displayed value of
relative excitation V/Hz shows 0.000.
If three phase-to-earth voltages are available from the side where overexcitation is
connected, then OEXPVPH shall be set to measure positive sequence voltage and
current. In this case the positive sequence voltage and the positive sequence current
are used by OEXPVPH. A check is made if the positive sequence voltage is higher
than 70% of rated phase-to-earth voltage, when below this value, OEXPVPH exits
immediately, and no excitation is calculated. ERROR output is set to 1, and the
displayed value of relative excitation V/Hz shows 0.000.
Basically there are two different delay laws available to choose between:
The so called IEEE law approximates a square law and has been chosen based on
analysis of the various transformers overexcitation capability characteristics. They
can match the transformer core capability well.

as Ur/fr.

larger with time, and if the overexcitation persists, the protected transformer will be
tripped at j = n.
Inverse delays as per figure 302, can be modified (limited) by two special definite
delay settings, namely tMax and tMin, see figure 301.

A definite maximum time, tMax, can be used to limit the operate time at low degrees
of overexcitation. Inverse delays longer than tMax will not be allowed. In case the
inverse delay is longer than tMax, OEXPVPH trips after tMax seconds.
A definite minimum time, tMin, can be used to limit the operate time at high degrees
of overexcitation. In case the inverse delay is shorter than tMin, OEXPVPH function
trips after tMin seconds. The inverse delay law is not valid for values exceeding
Mmax. The delay will be tMin, irrespective of the overexcitation level, when values
exceed Mmax (that is, M>V/Hz>).

The Tailor-Made law allows a user to design an arbitrary delay characteristic. In this
case the interval between M = V/Hz>, and M = Mmax is automatically divided into
five equal subintervals, with six delays. (settings t1, t2, t3, t4, t5 and t6) as shown in
figure 303. These times should be set so that t1 => t2 => t3 => t4 => t5 => t6.

Delays between two consecutive points, for example t3 and t4, are obtained by linear
interpolation.
Should it happen that tMax be lower than, for example, delays t1, and t2, the actual
delay would be tMax. Above Mmax, the delay can only be tMin.
9.4.7.3 Cooling
A monitored data value, TMTOTRIP, is available on the local HMI and in PCM600.
This value is an estimation of the remaining time to trip (in seconds), if the
overexcitation remained on the level it had when the estimation was done. This
information can be useful during small or moderate overexcitation situations.
If the overexcitation is so low that the valid delay is tMax, then the estimation of the
remaining time to trip is done against tMax.
The relative excitation M, shown on the local HMI and in PCM600 has a monitored
data value VPERHZ and is calculated from the expression:
E f
M ( p.u.) =
Ur fr
IECEQUATION2299 V1 EN (Equation 163)
If VPERHZ value is less than setting V/Hz> (in %), the power transformer is
underexcited. If VPERHZ is equal to V/Hz> (in %), the excitation is exactly equal to
the power transformer continuous capability. If VPERHZ is higher than V/Hz>, the
protected power transformer is overexcited. For example, if VPERHZ = 1.100, while
V/Hz> = 110 %, then the power transformer is exactly on its maximum continuous
excitation limit.
The monitored data value THERMSTA shows the thermal status of the protected
power transformer iron core. THERMSTA gives the thermal status in % of the trip
value which corresponds to 100%. THERMSTA should reach 100% at the same time,
as TMTOTRIP reaches 0 seconds. If the protected power transformer is then for some
reason not switched off, THERMSTA shall go over 100%.
If the delay as per IEEE law, or Tailor-made Law, is limited by tMax, and/or tMin, then
the Thermal status will generally not reach 100% at the same time, when tTRIP
reaches 0 seconds. For example, if, at low degrees of overexcitation, the very long
delay is limited by tMax, then the OEXPVPH TRIP output signal will be set to 1 before
the Thermal status reaches 100%.

breaker information signals, by their connection to dedicated inputs of the function
block.
Due to undervoltage conditions being continuous the trip pulse is limited to a length
set by setting tPulse.
The BLOCK input can be connected to a binary input of the IED in order to receive a
block command from external devices or can be software connected to other internal

Radial feeder PAPGAPC U< 27
protection
9.7.2 Functionality
The PAPGAPC function is used to provide protection of radial feeders having passive
loads or weak end in-feed sources. It is possible to achieve fast tripping using
communication system with remote end or delayed tripping not requiring
communication or upon communication system failure. For fast tripping, scheme
communication is required. Delayed tripping does not require scheme
communication.
The PAPGAPC function performs phase selection using measured voltages. Each
phase voltage is compared to the opposite phase-phase voltage. A phase is deemed to
have a fault if its phase voltage drops below a settable percentage of the opposite
phase-phase voltage. The phase - phase voltages include memory. This memory
function has a settable time constant.
The voltage-based phase selection is used for both fast and delayed tripping. To
achieve fast tripping, scheme communication is required. Delayed tripping does not
require scheme communication. It is possible to permit delayed tripping only upon
failure of the communications channel by blocking the delayed tripping logic with a
communications channel healthy input signal.
On receipt of the communications signal, phase selective outputs for fast tripping are
set based on the phase(s) in which the phase selection function has operated.
For delayed tripping, single pole and three pole delays are separately and
independently settable. Furthermore, it is possible to enable or disable single pole and
three pole delayed tripping. For single phase faults, it is possible to include a residual
current check in the tripping logic. Three pole tripping is always selected for phase
selection on more than one phase. Three pole tripping will also occur if the residual
current exceeds the set level during fuse failure for a time longer than the three pole
trip delay time.

The faulted phase selection is based on voltage measurement. Each phase voltage
magnitude (rms) is compared with the quadrature phase phase voltage, which is
obtained by passing full wave rectified signal through an exponential filter.
The filter updates the output if the output magnitude is lower than input voltage.
However, when the input voltage is lower than output magnitude, the output decreases
with a settable time constant of Tau. The desired filter response is depicted in
Figure310.

Operation at the remote end of the line with passive loads or weak sources is obtained
as follows. The fault clearing at remote end is initiated by CR signal received from the
other end of the feeder. Fast fault clearing can be enabled by the FastOperation
setting. The function is enabled for 650 ms upon receiving the carrier signal from the
other end. It generates the start signal STLx depending on the status of the faulty
phase(s). The presence of FUSEFAIL inhibits the operation of fault clearance on
faulty phase(s) and the corresponding logic diagram is depicted in Figure 313. The fast

It is possible to select delayed single- and three pole tripping by choosing the
appropriate settings Del1PhOp and Del3PhOp. Furthermore, time delays for single-
and three pole tripping can independently be set by t1Ph and t3Ph.
For single phase faults, ResCurrCheck is included in the tripping logic. It is also
possible to select either single- or three pole tripping for single phase faults occurring
in the system. Three pole tripping is always selected for phase selection of more than
one phase.
In case of a fuse failure condition, that is FUSEFAIL is high, single- and three pole
tripping are inhibited, however, three pole tripping occurs if the residual current
exceeds the set level during fuse failure for a time longer than the three pole trip delay
time of t3Ph.
The inputs BLKDLFLT and COMOK inhibit the delayed operation for faulty phase(s).
Start signal STLx is enabled as soon as the fault is detected in any phase(s).

The start signals for each phase are generated from both the fast fault clearance and
delayed fault clearance. Upon receiving the start signal STLx in phase(s), the
corresponding phase trip signal TRLx is issued. A general trip signal, TRIP is also
generated.
The single or three phase operation of autorecloser depends on the status of CBCLD
and the existence of pole discrepancy, indicated by the input POLEDISC. If
conditions for reclosing are fulfilled, a start signal ARSTLx is issued for the faulty
phase(s).
A general start signal, ARST is also generated. If more than one phase seems to be
detected faulty, three phase autoreclosing signal ARST3PH is issued.
The binary input BLOCK can be used to block the function. The activation of the
BLOCK input deactivates all outputs.
Start output signals ARSTLx, ARST and ARST3PH are blocked by enabling BLKST
input and the activation of the BLKTR input deactivates all trip outputs.

To avoid oscillations of the output START signal, a hysteresis has been included.
The time delay for underfrequency protection SAPTUF can be either a settable
definite time delay or a voltage magnitude dependent time delay, where the time delay
depends on the voltage level; a high voltage level gives a longer time delay and a low
voltage level causes a short time delay. For the definite time delay, the setting tDelay
sets the time delay.
For the voltage dependent time delay the measured voltage level and the settings
UNom, UMin, Exponent, tMax and tMin set the time delay according to figure 317 and
equation 165. The setting TimerOperation is used to decide what type of time delay to
apply.
Trip signal issuing requires that the underfrequency condition continues for at least
the user set time delay tDelay. If the START condition, with respect to the measured
frequency ceases during this user set delay time, and is not fulfilled again within a user
defined reset time, tReset, the START output is reset, after that the defined reset time
has elapsed. Here it should be noted that after leaving the hysteresis area, the START
condition must be fulfilled again and it is not sufficient for the signal to only return
back to the hysteresis area.
On the RESTORE output of SAPTUF a 100ms pulse is issued, after a time delay
corresponding to the setting of tRestore, when the measured frequency returns to the
level corresponding to the setting RestoreFreq.
Since the fundamental frequency in a power system is the same all over the system,
except some deviations during power oscillations, another criterion is needed to
decide, where to take actions, based on low frequency. In many applications the
voltage level is very suitable, and in most cases is load shedding preferable in areas
with low voltage. Therefore, a voltage dependent time delay has been introduced, to
make sure that load shedding, or other actions, take place at the right location. At
constant voltage, U, the voltage dependent time delay is calculated according to
equation 165. At non-constant voltage, the actual time delay is integrated in a similar
way as for the inverse time characteristic for the undervoltage and overvoltage
functions.

over frequency.
SAPTOF measures frequency with high accuracy, and is used mainly for generation
shedding and remedial action schemes. It is also used as a frequency stage initiating
load restoring. A definite time delay is provided for operate.

Two overcurrent protection steps are available. They are absolutely identical and
therefore only one will be explained here.
Overcurrent step simply compares the magnitude of the measured current quantity
(see table 375) with the set pickup level. Non-directional overcurrent step will pickup
if the magnitude of the measured current quantity is bigger than this set level.
However depending on other enabled built-in features this overcurrent pickup might
not cause the overcurrent step start signal. Start signal will only come if all of the
enabled built-in features in the overcurrent step are fulfilled at the same time.
This feature will simple prevent overcurrent step start if the second-to-first harmonic
ratio in the measured current exceeds the set level.
Directional feature
The overcurrent protection step operation can be made dependent on the relevant
phase angle between measured current phasor (see table 375) and measured voltage
phasor (see table 376). In protection terminology it means that the General currrent
and voltage protection (CVGAPC) function can be made directional by enabling this
built-in feature. In that case overcurrent protection step will only operate if the current
flow is in accordance with the set direction (Forward, which means towards the
protected object, or Reverse, which means from the protected object). For this feature
it is of the outmost importance to understand that the measured voltage phasor (see
table 376) and measured current phasor (see table 375) will be used for directional
decision. Therefore it is the sole responsibility of the end user to select the appropriate
current and voltage signals in order to get a proper directional decision. CVGAPC
function will NOT do this automatically. It will simply use the current and voltage
phasors selected by the end user to check for the directional criteria.
Table 378 gives an overview of the typical choices (but not the only possible ones) for
these two quantities from traditional directional relays.

Unbalance current or voltage measurement shall not be used when the directional
feature is enabled.
Two types of directional measurement principles are available, I & U and IcosPhi&U.
The first principle, referred to as "I & U" in the parameter setting tool, checks that:
the magnitude of the measured current is bigger than the set pick-up level
the phasor of the measured current is within the operating region (defined by the
relay operate angle, ROADir parameter setting; see figure 324).

The second principle, referred to as "IcosPhi&U" in the parameter setting tool, checks
that:
that the product Icos() is bigger than the set pick-up level, where is angle
between the current phasor and the mta line
that the phasor of the measured current is within the operating region (defined by
the Icos() straight line and the relay operate angle, ROADir parameter setting;

shall behave when the magnitude of the measured voltage phasor falls below the pre-
set value. User can select one of the following three options:
It shall also be noted that the memory duration is limited in the algorithm to 100 ms.
After that time the current direction will be locked to the one determined during
memory time and it will re-set only if the current fails below set pickup level or voltage
goes above set voltage memory limit.

This feature will simply change the set overcurrent pickup level in accordance with
magnitude variations of the measured voltage. It shall be noted that this feature will as
well affect the pickup current value for calculation of operate times for IDMT curves

This feature will simply prevent overcurrent step to start if the magnitude of the
measured current quantity is smaller than the set percentage of the restrain current
magnitude. However this feature will not affect the pickup current value for
calculation of operate times for IDMT curves. This means that the IDMT curve
operate time will not be influenced by the restrain current magnitude.
When set, the start signal will start definite time delay or inverse (IDMT) time delay
in accordance with the end user setting. If the start signal has value one for longer time
than the set time delay, the overcurrent step will set its trip signal to one. Reset of the
start and trip signal can be instantaneous or time delay in accordance with the end user
setting.
Two undercurrent protection steps are available. They are absolutely identical and
therefore only one will be explained here. Undercurrent step simply compares the
magnitude of the measured current quantity (see table 375) with the set pickup level.
The undercurrent step will pickup and set its start signal to one if the magnitude of the
measured current quantity is smaller than this set level. The start signal will start
definite time delay with set time delay. If the start signal has value one for longer time
than the set time delay the undercurrent step will set its trip signal to one. Reset of the
start and trip signal can be instantaneous or time delay in accordance with the setting.
Two overvoltage protection steps are available. They are absolutely identical and
therefore only one will be explained here.
Overvoltage step simply compares the magnitude of the measured voltage quantity
(see table 376) with the set pickup level. The overvoltage step will pickup if the
magnitude of the measured voltage quantity is bigger than this set level.
The start signal will start definite time delay or inverse (IDMT) time delay in
accordance with the end user setting. If the start signal has value one for longer time
than the set time delay, the overvoltage step will set its trip signal to one. Reset of the
start and trip signal can be instantaneous or time delay in accordance with the end user
setting.
Two undervoltage protection steps are available. They are absolutely identical and
therefore only one will be explained here.
Undervoltage step simply compares the magnitude of the measured voltage quantity
(see table 376) with the set pickup level. The undervoltage step will pickup if the
magnitude of the measured voltage quantity is smaller than this set level.
The start signal will start definite time delay or inverse (IDMT) time delay in
accordance with the end user setting. If the start signal has value one for longer time
than the set time delay, the undervoltage step will set its trip signal to one. Reset of the
start and trip signal can be instantaneous or time delay in accordance with the end user
setting.

Multipurpose filter SMAIHPAC - -
12.1.2 Functionality
The multi-purpose filter function block, SMAIHPAC, is arranged as a three-phase
filter. It has very much the same user interface (e.g. inputs and outputs) as the standard
pre-processing function block SMAI. However the main difference is that it can be
used to extract any frequency component from the input signal. Thus it can, for
example, be used to build sub-synchronous resonance protection for synchronous
generator.
IEC13000180-1-en.vsd
IEC13000180 V1 EN
12.1.4 Signals
12.1.5 Settings
Note that the special filtering algorithm is used to extract these phasors. This
algorithm is different from the standard one-cycle Digital Fourier Filter typically used
by the numerical IEDs. This filter provides extremely good accuracy of measurement
and excellent noise rejection, but at the same time it has much slower response time.
It is capable to extract phasor (i.e. magnitude, phase angle and actual frequency) of
any signal (e.g. 37,2Hz) present in the waveforms of the connected CTs and/or VTs.
The magnitude and the phase angle of this phasor are calculated with very high
precision. For example the magnitude and phase angle of the phasor can be estimated
even if it has magnitude of one per mille (i.e. 1 ) in comparison to the dominating
signal (e.g. the fundamental frequency component). Several instances of this function
block are provided. These instances are fully synchronized between each-other in
respect of phase angle calculation. Thus if two multi-purpose filters are used for some
application, one for current and the second one for the voltage signals, the power
values (i.e. P & Q) at the set frequency can be calculated from them by the over-/under-
power function or CVMMXN measurement function block.
In addition to these phasors the following quantities are internally calculated as well:
Phasors for the individual phases as well as phase-to-phase phasors
True RMS value of the input signal over all samples available in the memory
Positive sequence phasor
Negative sequence phasor
Zero sequence phasor
etc.
Thus when this filter is used in conjunction with multi-purpose protection function or
overcurrent function or over-voltage function or over-power function many different
protection applications can be arranged. For example the following protection,
monitoring or measurement features can be realized:
Sub-synchronous resonance protection for turbo generators
Sub-synchronous protection for wind turbines/wind farms
Detection of sub-synchronous oscillation between HVDC links and synchronous
generators
Super-synchronous protection
Detection of presence of the geo-magnetic induced currents
Overcurrent or overvoltage protection at specific frequency harmonic, sub-
harmonic, inter-harmonic etc.
Presence of special railway frequencies (e.g. 16.7Hz or 25Hz) in the three-phase
power system
Sensitive reverse power protection
Stator or rotor earth fault protection for special injection frequencies (e.g. 25Hz)
etc.
The filter output can also be connected to the measurement function blocks such as
CVMMXN (Measurements), CMMXU (Phase current measurement), VMMXU
(Phase-phase voltage measurement), etc.
The filter has as well additional capability to report the exact frequency of the
extracted signal. Thus the user can check the actual frequency of some phenomenon
in the power system (e.g. frequency of the sub-synchronous currents) and compare it
with expected value obtained previously by either calculation or simulation. For the
whole three-phase filter group the frequency of the signal connected to the first input
(i.e. phase L1) is reported. This value can be then used either by over-/under-
frequency protections or reported to the built-in HMI or any other external client via
the measurement blocks such is the CVMMXN.
How many samples in the memory are used for the phasor calculation depends on the
setting parameter FilterLength. Table 383 gives overview of the used number of
samples for phasor calculation by the filter. Note that the used number of samples is
always a power of number two.
Table 383: Length of the filtering window
Value for parameter Used No of samples for Corresponding length of Corresponding length of
FilterLength calculation (fixed, the input waveform in the input waveform in
independent from rated miliseconds for 50Hz miliseconds for 60Hz
frequency) power system power system
0.1 s 128 = 27 128 ms 107 ms
Note that the selected value for the parameter FilterLength automatically defines
certain filter properties as described below:
First in order to secure proper filter operation the selected length of the filter shall
always be longer than three complete periods of the signal which shall be extracted.
Actually the best results are obtained if at least five complete periods are available
within the filtering window. Thus, this filter feature will limit which filter lengths can
be used to extract low frequency signals. For example if 16,7 Hz signal shall be
extracted the minimum filter length in milliseconds shall be:
1000
3 = 180ms
16.7
EQUATION000028 V1 EN (Equation 166)
Thus based on the data from Table 383 the minimum acceptable value for this
parameter would be FilterLength = 0.2 s but more accurate results will be obtained
by using FilterLength = 0.5 s
Second feature which is determined by the selected value for parameter FilterLength
is the capability of the filter to separate the desired signal from the other disturbing
signals which may have similar frequency value. Note that the filter output will be the
phasor with the highest magnitude within certain pass frequency band around the
SetFrequency. Table 384 defines the natural size of this pass frequency band for the
filter, depending on the selected value for parameter FilterLength.
Table 384: Pass frequency band due to FilterLength
Value for parameter FilterLength For 50Hz power system For 60Hz power system
0.1 s 22.5 Hz 27.0 Hz
0.2 s 11.5 Hz 14.0 Hz
0.5 s 6.0 Hz 7.2 Hz
1.0 s 3.0 Hz 3.6 Hz
2.0 s 1.5 Hz 1.8 Hz
4.0 s 0.8 Hz 1.0 Hz
Thus the longer length of the filter the better capability it has to reject the disturbing
signals close to the required frequency component and any other noise present in the
input signal waveform. For example if 46 Hz signal wants to be extracted in 50Hz
power system, then from Table 384 it can be concluded that FilterLength=1,0 s shall
be selected as a minimum value. However if frequency deviation of the fundamental
frequency signal in the power system are taken into account it may be advisable to
select FilterLength=2,0 s for such application.
Note that in case when no clear magnitude peak exist in the set pass frequency band
the filter will return zero values for the phasor magnitude and angle while the signal
frequency will have value minus one. Finally the set value for parameter FilterLength
also defines the response time of the filter after a step change of the measured signal.
The filter will correctly estimate the new signal magnitude once 75% of the filter
length has been filed with the new signal value (i.e. after the change).
If for any reason this natural frequency band shall be extended (e.g. to get accurate but
wider filter) it is possible to increase the pass band by entering the value different from
zero for parameter FreqBandWidth. In such case the total filter pass band can be
defined as:
Example if in 60Hz system the selected values are FilterLength =1.0 s and
FreqBandWidth = 5.0 the total filter pass band will be (3.6+5.0/2)= 6.1 Hz.
some examples how this parameter influence the calculation rate for the extracted
phasor:
when OverLap=0% the new phasor value is calculated only once per
FilterLength
when OverLap=50% the new phasor value is calculated two times per
FilterLength
when OverLap=75% the new phasor value is calculated four times per
FilterLength
when OverLap=90% the new phasor value is calculated ten times per
FilterLength
IEC13000178-2-en.vsd

The data shown in the Figure comes from the comtrade file captured by the IED. The
following traces are presented in this Figure.
Note the very narrow scale on the y-axle for b) and c). Such small scale as well
indicates with which precision and consistency the filter calculates the phasor
magnitude and frequency of the extracted stator sub-synchronous current component.
With above given settings the sub-synchronous current magnitude and frequency are
calculated approximately four times per second (that is, correct value is four times per
1024 ms).

Fuse failure supervision FUFSPVC - -
13.2.2 Functionality
The aim of the fuse failure supervision function FUFSPVC is to block voltage
measuring functions at failures in the secondary circuits between the voltage
transformer and the IED in order to avoid inadvertent operations that otherwise might
occur.
The fuse failure supervision function basically has three different detection methods,
negative sequence and zero sequence based detection and an additional delta voltage
and delta current detection.
The negative sequence detection algorithm is recommended for IEDs used in isolated
or high-impedance earthed networks. It is based on the negative-sequence quantities.
The zero sequence detection is recommended for IEDs used in directly or low
impedance earthed networks. It is based on the zero sequence measuring quantities.
A criterion based on delta current and delta voltage measurements can be added to the
fuse failure supervision function in order to detect a three phase fuse failure, which in
practice is more associated with voltage transformer switching during station
operations.

The zero and negative sequence function continuously measures the currents and
voltages in all three phases and calculates, see figure 340:
The measured signals are compared with their respective set values 3U0> and 3I0<,
3U2> and 3I2<.
The function enable the internal signal FuseFailDetZeroSeq if the measured zero-
sequence voltage is higher than the set value 3U0> and the measured zero-sequence
current is below the set value 3I0<.
The function enable the internal signal FuseFailDetNegSeq if the measured negative
sequence voltage is higher than the set value 3U2> and the measured negative
sequence current is below the set value 3I2<.
A drop out delay of 100 ms for the measured zero-sequence and negative sequence
current will prevent a false fuse failure detection at un-equal breaker opening at the
two line ends.

The calculated values 3U0, 3I0, 3I2 and 3U2 are available as service values on local
HMI and monitoring tool in PCM600.
The input BLOCK signal is a general purpose blocking signal of the fuse failure
supervision function. It can be connected to a binary input of the IED in order to
receive a block command from external devices or can be software connected to other
internal functions of the IED itself in order to receive a block command from internal
functions. Through OR gate it can be connected to both binary inputs and internal
function outputs.
The input BLKTRIP is intended to be connected to the trip output from any of the
protection functions included in the IED. When activated for more than 20 ms, the
operation of the fuse failure is blocked; a fixed drop-out timer prolongs the block for
100 ms. The aim is to increase the security against unwanted operations during the
opening of the breaker, which might cause unbalance conditions for which the fuse
failure might operate.
The output signal BLKZ will also be blocked if the internal dead line detection is
activated. The dead line detection signal has a 200 ms drop-out time delay.
The input signal MCBOP is supposed to be connected via a terminal binary input to
the N.C. auxiliary contact of the miniature circuit breaker protecting the VT secondary
circuit. The MCBOP signal sets the output signals BLKU and BLKZ in order to block
all the voltage related functions when the MCB is open independent of the setting of
OpMode selector. The additional drop-out timer of 150 ms prolongs the presence of
MCBOP signal to prevent the unwanted operation of voltage dependent function due
to non simultaneous closing of the main contacts of the miniature circuit breaker.
The input signal DISCPOS is supposed to be connected via a terminal binary input to
the N.C. auxiliary contact of the line disconnector. The DISCPOS signal sets the
output signal BLKU in order to block the voltage related functions when the line
disconnector is open. The impedance protection function is not affected by the
position of the line disconnector since there will be no line currents that can cause
malfunction of the distance protection. If DISCPOS=0 it signifies that the line is
connected to the system and when the DISCPOS=1 it signifies that the line is
disconnected from the system and the block signal BLKU is generated.
The output BLKU can be used for blocking the voltage related measuring functions
(undervoltage protection, energizing check and so on) except for the impedance
protection.
The function output BLKZ shall be used for blocking the impedance protection
function.
A simplified diagram for the functionality is found in figure 341. The calculation of
the changes of currents and voltages is based on a sample analysis algorithm. The
calculated delta quantities are compared with their respective set values DI< and DU>.
The algorithm detects a fuse failure if a sufficient change in voltage without a
sufficient change in current is detected in each phase separately. The following
quantities are calculated in all three phases:
The magnitude of the phase-ground voltage has been above UPh> for more than
1.5 cycles (i.e. 30 ms in a 50 Hz system)
The magnitudes of DU in three phases are higher than the corresponding setting
DU>
The magnitudes of DI in three phases are below the setting DI<
In addition to the above conditions, at least one of the following conditions shall be
fulfilled in order to activate the internal FuseFailDetDUDI signal:
The magnitude of the phase currents in three phases are higher than the setting
IPh>
The circuit breaker is closed (CBCLOSED = True)
The first criterion means that detection of failure in three phases together with high
current for the three phases will set the output. The measured phase current is used to
reduce the risk of false fuse failure detection. If the current on the protected line is low,
a voltage drop in the system (not caused by fuse failure) may be followed by current
change lower than the setting DI<, and therefore a false fuse failure might occur.
The second criterion requires that the delta condition shall be fulfilled at the same time
as circuit breaker is closed. If CBCLOSED input is connected to FALSE , then only
the first criterion can enable the delta function.If the DUDI detections of three phases
set the internal signal FuseFailDetDUDI at the level high, then the signal
FuseFailDetDUDI will remain high as long as the voltages of three phases are lower
then the setting Uph>.
In addition to fuse failure detection, two internal signals DeltaU and DeltaI are also
generated by the delta current and delta voltage DUDI detection algorithm. The
internal signals DelatU and DeltaI are activated when a sudden change of voltage, or
respectively current, is detected. The detection of the sudden change is based on a
sample analysis algorithm. In particular DelatU is activated if at least three
consecutive voltage samples are higher then the setting DU>. In a similar way DelatI
is activated if at least three consecutive current samples are higher then the setting
DI<. When DeltaU or DeltaI are active, the output signals STDUL1, STDUL2,
STDUL3 and respectively STDIL1, STDIL2, STDIL3, based on a sudden change of
voltage or current detection, are activated with a 20 ms time off delay. The common
start output signals STDU or STDI are activated with a 60 ms time off delay, if any
sudden change of voltage or current is detected.
The delta function (except the sudden change of voltage and current
detection) is deactivated by setting the parameter OpDUDI to Off.

Figure 343: Simplified logic diagram for Dead Line detection part
A simplified diagram for the functionality is found in figure 344. The fuse failure
supervision function (FUFSPVC) can be switched on or off by the setting parameter
Operation to On or Off.
The delta function can be activated by setting the parameter OpDUDI to On. When
selected it operates in parallel with the sequence based algorithms.
If the fuse failure situation is present for more than 5 seconds and the setting parameter
SealIn is set to On it will be sealed in as long as at least one phase voltages is below
the set value USealIn<. This will keep the BLKU and BLKZ signals activated as long
as any phase voltage is below the set value USealIn<. If all three phase voltages drop
below the set value USealIn< and the setting parameter SealIn is set to On the output
signal 3PH will also be activated. The signals 3PH, BLKU and BLKZ will now be
active as long as any phase voltage is below the set value USealIn<.
If SealIn is set to On the fuse failure condition lasting more then 5 seconds is stored in
the non-volatile memory in the IED. At start-up of the IED (due to auxiliary power
interruption or re-start due to configuration change) it uses the stored value in its non-
volatile memory and re-establishes the conditions that were present before the shut
down. All phase voltages must be restored above USealIn< before fuse failure is de-
activated and resets the signals BLKU, BLKZ and 3PH.
The output signal BLKU will also be active if all phase voltages have been above the
setting USealIn< for more than 60 seconds, the zero or negative sequence voltage has
been above the set value 3U0> and 3U2> for more than 5 seconds, all phase currents
are below the setting IDLD< (criteria for open phase detection) and the circuit breaker
is closed (input CBCLOSED is activated).
If a MCB is used then the input signal MCBOP is to be connected via a binary input
to the N.C. auxiliary contact of the miniature circuit breaker protecting the VT
secondary circuit. The MCBOP signal sets the output signals BLKU and BLKZ in
order to block all the voltage related functions when the MCB is open independent of
the setting of OpMode or OpDUDI. An additional drop-out timer of 150 ms prolongs
the presence of MCBOP signal to prevent the unwanted operation of voltage
dependent function due to non simultaneous closing of the main contacts of the
miniature circuit breaker.
The input signal DISCPOS is supposed to be connected via a terminal binary input to
the N.C. auxiliary contact of the line disconnector. The DISCPOS signal sets the
output signal BLKU in order to block the voltage related functions when the line
disconnector is open. The impedance protection function does not have to be affected
since there will be no line currents that can cause malfunction of the distance
protection.

If the main fuse voltage becomes smaller than the pilot fuse voltage (vMainL1 <
vPilotL1 or vMainL2 < vPilotL2 or vMainL3 < vPilotL3) and the voltage difference
exceeds the operation level (Ud>MainBlock), a blocking signal will be initiated to
indicate the main fuse failure and block the voltage-dependent functions. In addition,
the function also indicates the phase in which the voltage reduction has occurred.
If the pilot fuse voltage becomes smaller than the main fuse voltage (vPilotL1 <
vMainL1 or vPilotL2 < vMainL2 or vPilotL3 < vMainL3) and the voltage difference
exceeds the operation level (Ud>PilotAlarm), an alarm signal will be initiated to

occurred.
When SealIn is set to On and the fuse failure has last for more than 5 seconds, the
blocked protection functions will remain blocked until normal voltage conditions are
restored above the USealIn setting. Fuse failure outputs are deactivated when normal

The synchrocheck function measures the conditions across the circuit breaker and
compares them to set limits. The output is only given when all measured quantities are
simultaneously within their set limits.
The energizing check function measures the bus and line voltages and compares them
to both high and low threshold detectors. The output is given only when the actual
measured quantities match the set conditions.
The synchronizing function measures the conditions across the circuit breaker, and
also determines the angle change occurring during the closing delay of the circuit
breaker, from the measured slip frequency. The output is given only when all
measured conditions are simultaneously within their set limits. The issue of the output
is timed to give closure at the optimal time including the time for the circuit breaker
and the closing circuit.
For double bus single circuit breaker and 1 circuit breaker arrangements, the
SESRSYN function blocks have the capability to make the necessary voltage
selection. For double bus single circuit breaker arrangements, selection of the correct
voltage is made using auxiliary contacts of the bus disconnectors. For 1 circuit
breaker arrangements, correct voltage selection is made using auxiliary contacts of the
bus disconnectors as well as the circuit breakers.
The internal logic for each function block as well as, the input and outputs, and the
setting parameters with default setting and setting ranges is described in this
document. For application related information, please refer to the application manual.
Logic diagrams
The logic diagrams that follow illustrate the main principles of the SESRSYN
function components such as Synchrocheck, Synchronizing, Energizing check and
Voltage selection, and are intended to simplify the understanding of the function.
Synchrocheck
The voltage difference, frequency difference and phase angle difference values are
measured in the IED centrally and are available for the synchrocheck function for
evaluation. By setting the phases used for SESRSYN, with the settings SelPhaseBus1,
SelPhaseBus2, SelPhaseLine1 and SelPhaseLine2, a compensation is made
automatically for the voltage amplitude difference and the phase angle difference
caused if different setting values are selected for both sides of the breaker. If needed
an additional phase angle adjustment can be done for selected line voltage with the
PhaseShift setting.
When the function is set to OperationSC = On, the measuring will start.
The function will compare the bus and line voltage values with the set values for
UHighBusSC and UHighLineSC.
If both sides are higher than the set values, the measured values are compared with the
set values for acceptable frequency, phase angle and voltage difference: FreqDiffA,
FreqDiffM, PhaseDiffA, PhaseDiffM and UDiffSC. If additional phase angle
adjustment is done with the PhaseShift setting, the adjustment factor is deducted from
the line voltage before the comparison of the phase angle values.
The frequency on both sides of the circuit breaker is also measured. The frequencies
must not deviate from the rated frequency more than +/-5Hz. The frequency
difference between the bus frequency and the line frequency is measured and may not
exceed the set value FreqDiff.
Two sets of settings for frequency difference and phase angle difference are available
and used for the manual closing and autoreclose functions respectively, as required.
The inputs BLOCK and BLKSC are available for total block of the complete
SESRSYN function and selective block of the Synchrocheck function respectively.
Input TSTSC will allow testing of the function where the fulfilled conditions are
connected to a separate test output.
The outputs MANSYOK and AUTOSYOK are activated when the actual measured
conditions match the set conditions for the respective output. The output signal can be
delayed independently for MANSYOK and AUTOSYOK conditions.
Output INADVCLS, inadvertent circuit breaker closing, indicates that the circuit
breaker has been closed at wrong phase angle by mistake. The output is activated, if
the voltage conditions are fulfilled at the same time the phase angle difference
between bus and line is suddenly changed from being larger than 60 degrees to smaller
than 5 degrees.

Synchronizing
When the function is set to OperationSynch = On the measuring will be performed.
The function will compare the values for the bus and line voltage with the set values
for UHighBusSynch and UHighLineSynch, which is a supervision that the voltages are
both live. Also the voltage difference is checked to be smaller than the set value for
UDiffSynch, which is a p.u value of set voltage base values. If both sides are higher
than the set values and the voltage difference between bus and line is acceptable, the
measured values are compared with the set values for acceptable frequency
FreqDiffMax and FreqDiffMin, rate of change of frequency FreqRateChange and
phase angle, which has to be smaller than the internally preset value of 15 degrees.
Measured frequencies between the settings for the maximum and minimum frequency
will initiate the measuring and the evaluation of the angle change to allow operation
to be sent in the right moment including the set tBreaker time. There is a phase angle
release internally to block any incorrect closing pulses. At operation the SYNOK
output will be activated with a pulse tClosePulse and the function resets. The function
will also reset if the synchronizing conditions are not fulfilled within the set
tMaxSynch time. This prevents that the function is, by mistake, maintained in
operation for a long time, waiting for conditions to be fulfilled.
The inputs BLOCK and BLKSYNCH are available for total block of the complete
SESRSYN function and block of the Synchronizing function respectively.
TSTSYNCH will allow testing of the function where the fulfilled conditions are
connected to a separate output.

Energizing check
Voltage values are measured in the IED and are available for evaluation by the
Energizing check function.
The function measures voltages on the busbar and the line to verify whether they are
live or dead. This is done by comparing with the set values UHighBusEnerg and
ULowBusEnerg for bus energizing and UHighLineEnerg and ULowLineEnerg for
line energizing.
The frequency on both sides of the circuit breaker is also measured. The frequencies
must not deviate from the rated frequency more than +/-5Hz.
The Energizing direction can be selected individually for the Manual and the
Automatic functions respectively. When the conditions are met the outputs
AUTOENOK and MANENOK respectively will be activated if the fuse supervision
conditions are fulfilled. The output signal can be delayed independently for
MANENOK and AUTOENOK conditions. The Energizing direction can also be
selected by an integer input AENMODE respective MENMODE, which for example,
can be connected to a Binary to Integer function block (B16I). Integers supplied shall
be 1=Off, 2=DLLB, 3=DBLL and 4= Both. Not connected input will mean that the
setting is done from Parameter Setting tool. The active position can be read on outputs
MODEAEN resp MODEMEN. The modes are 0=OFF, 1=DLLB, 2=DBLL and
3=Both.
The inputs BLOCK and BLKENERG are available for total block of the complete
SESRSYN function respective block of the Energizing check function. TSTENERG
will allow testing of the function where the fulfilled conditions are connected to a
separate test output.

The UB1OK/UB2OK and UB1FF/UB2FF inputs are related to the busbar voltage and
the ULN1OK/ULN2OK and ULN1FF/ULN2FF inputs are related to the line voltage.
Configure them to the binary input or function outputs that indicate the status of the
external fuse failure of the busbar and line voltages. In the event of a fuse failure, the
energizing check function is blocked. The synchronizing and the synchrocheck
function requires full voltage on both sides, thus no blocking at fuse failure is needed.
Voltage selection
The voltage selection module including supervision of included voltage transformers
for the different arrangements is a basic part of the SESRSYN function and determines
the voltages fed to the Synchronizing, Synchrocheck and Energizing check functions.
This includes the selection of the appropriate Line and Bus voltages and MCB
supervision.
The voltage selection type to be used is set with the parameter CBConfig.
If No voltage sel. is set the voltages used will be U-Line1 and U-Bus1. This setting is
also used in the case when external voltage selection is provided. Fuse failure
supervision for the used inputs must also be connected.
The voltage selection function, selected voltages, and fuse conditions are used for the
Synchronizing, Synchrocheck and Energizing check inputs.
For the disconnector positions it is advisable to use (NO) a and (NC) b type contacts
to supply Disconnector Open and Closed positions but, it is also possible to use an
inverter for one of the positions.
The function checks the fuse-failure signals for bus 1, bus 2 and line voltage
transformers. Inputs UB1OK-UB1FF supervise the MCB for Bus 1 and UB2OK-
UB2FF supervises the MCB for Bus 2. ULN1OK and ULN1FF supervises the MCB
for the Line voltage transformer. The inputs fail (FF) or healthy (OK) can alternatively
be used dependent on the available signal. If a VT failure is detected in the selected
voltage source an output signal USELFAIL is set. This output signal is true if the
selected bus or line voltages have a VT failure. This output as well as the function can
be blocked with the input signal BLOCK. The function logic diagram is shown in
figure 353.

Figure 353: Logic diagram for the voltage selection function of a single circuit breaker with double busbars
With the setting parameter CBConfig the selection of actual CB location in the 1 1/2
circuit breaker switchgear is done. The settings are: 1 1/2 Bus CB, 1 1/2 alt. Bus CB or
Tie CB.
This voltage selection function uses the binary inputs from the disconnectors and
circuit breakers auxiliary contacts to select the right voltage for the SESRSYN
function. For the bus circuit breaker one side of the circuit breaker is connected to the
busbar and the other side is connected either to line 1, line 2 or the other busbar
depending on the best selection of voltage circuit.
The tie circuit breaker is connected either to bus 1 or line 1 voltage on one side and the
other side is connected either to bus 2 or line 2 voltage. Four different output
combinations are possible, bus to bus, bus to line, line to bus and line to line.
The function also checks the fuse-failure signals for bus 1, bus 2, line 1 and line 2. If
a VT failure is detected in the selected voltage an output signal USELFAIL is set. This
output signal is true if the selected bus or line voltages have a MCB trip. This output
as well as the function can be blocked with the input signal BLOCK. The function
block diagram for the voltage selection of a bus circuit breaker is shown in figure 354
and for the tie circuit breaker in figure 355.

The logic diagrams below illustrate the principles applicable in the understanding of
the functionality.
Operation of the automatic reclosing can be set to Off or On via the setting parameters
and through external control. With the setting Operation = On, the function is
activated while with the setting Operation = Off the function is deactivated. With the
setting Operation = On and ExternalCtrl = On , the activation/deactivation is made by
input signal pulses to the inputs ON/OFF, for example, from a control system.
When the function is set On and is operative the output SETON is activated (high). If
the input conditions CBPOS and CBREADY also are fulfilled, the automatic recloser
is prepared to start the reclosing cycle and the output signal READY on the
SMBRREC function block is activated (high).
The Auto-reclosing mode is selected with setting ARMode = 3phase, 1/2/3ph, 1/2ph,
1ph+1*2ph, 1/2ph+1*3ph, 1ph+1*2/3ph.
When a valid integer is connected to the input MODEINT the selected ARMode
setting will be invalid and the MODEINT input value will be used instead. The
selected mode is reported as an integer on the output MODE.
The usual way to start a reclosing cycle, or sequence, is to start it when a selective line
protection tripping has occurred, by applying a signal to the START input. Activation
of the START input only will start the 3 phase open timer. It should be necessary to
adjust three-phase auto-reclosing open time, (dead time) for different power system
configurations or during tripping at different protection stages. The input STARTHS
(start high-speed reclosing) can also be used to start a 3 phase dead time without
synchro check condition..
CBREADY: CB ready for a reclosing cycle, for example, charged operating gear
CBPOS: to ensure that the CB was closed when the line fault occurred and start
was applied
No BLKON or INHIBIT signal shall be present.
After the start has been accepted, it is latched in and an internal signal Started is set.
It can be interrupted by a signal to the INHIBIT input.
The logic for switching the auto-recloser On/Off and the starting of the reclosing is
shown in figure 357. The following should be considered:
Setting Operation can be set to Off or On. ExternalCtrl offers the possibility of
switching by external signals to inputs ON and OFF.
SMBRREC is normally started by selective tripping. It is either a Zone 1 or
Communication aided trip, or a general trip. If the general trip is used the function
must be blocked from all back-up tripping connected to INHIBIT. In both
alternatives the breaker failure function must be connected to inhibit the function.
START makes a first attempt with synchrocheck, STARTHS makes its first
attempt without synchrocheck. TRSOTF starts shots 2-5.
Circuit breaker checks that the breaker was closed for a time before the opening
occurred and that the CB has sufficient stored energy to perform an auto-
reclosing sequence and is connected to inputs CBPOS and CBREADY.

It is possible to use up to four different time settings for the first shot, and one
extension time. There are separate settings for single- , two- and three-phase auto-
reclosing open times, t1 1Ph, t1 2Ph, t1 3Ph. If only the START input signal is applied,
An auto-reclosing open time extension delay, tExtended t1, can be added to the normal
shot 1 delay. It is intended to come into use if the communication channel for
permissive line protection is lost. In a case like this there can be a significant time
difference in fault clearance at the two line ends. A longer auto-reclosing open time
can then be useful. This extension time is controlled by setting parameter Extended t1
= On and the input PLCLOST.
In normal circumstances the trip command resets quickly due to fault clearing. The
user can set a maximum trip pulse duration tTrip. When trip signals are longer, the
auto-reclosing open time is extended by tExtended t1. If Extended t1 = Off, a long trip
signal interrupts the reclosing sequence in the same way as a signal to input INHIBIT.

Figure 358: Control of extended auto-reclosing open time and long trip pulse detection
use a synchrocheck function in the same physical device or an external one. The
release signal is configured by connecting to the auto-reclosing function input SYNC.
If reclosing without checking is preferred the SYNC input can be set to TRUE (set
high). At confirmation from the synchro-check, or if the reclosing is of single-phase
or two-phase type, the signal passes on. At three-phase high-speed reclosing started by
STARTHS, synchronization is not checked, and the state of the SYNC input is
disregarded.
The synchro-check or energizing check must be fulfilled within a set time interval,
tSync. If it is not, or if other conditions are not met, the reclosing is interrupted and
blocked.
The reclaim timer defines a time from the issue of the reclosing command, after which
the reclosing function resets. Should a new trip occur during this time, it is treated as
a continuation of the first fault. The reclaim timer is started when the CB closing
command is given.
A number of outputs for Autoreclosing state control keeps track of the actual state in
the reclosing sequence.

After the reclosing command the reclaim timer tReclaim starts running for the set
time. If no tripping occurs within this time, the auto-reclosing will reset.
output UNSUCCL (unsuccessful closing) is set high. The timers for the first shot can
no longer be started. Depending on the setting for the number of reclosing shots,
further shots may be made or the reclosing sequence will be ended. After the reclaim
time has elapsed, the auto-reclosing function resets but the CB remains open. The CB
closed data at the CBPOS input will be missing. Because of this, the reclosing function
will not be ready for a new reclosing cycle.
Normally the signal UNSUCCL appears when a new trip and start is received after the
last reclosing shot has been made and the auto-reclosing function is blocked. The
signal resets once the reclaim time has elapsed. The unsuccessful signal can also be
made to depend on CB position input. The parameter UnsucClByCBChk should then
be set to CBCheck, and a timer tUnsucCl should also be set. If the CB does not respond
to the closing command and does not close, but remains open, the output UNSUCCL
is set high after time tUnsucCl.

14.3 Interlocking
14.3.1 Functionality
The interlocking functionality blocks the possibility to operate high-voltage
switching devices, for instance when a disconnector is under load, in order to prevent
material damage and/or accidental human injury.
Each control IED has interlocking functions for different switchyard arrangements,
each handling the interlocking of one bay. The interlocking functionality in each IED
is not dependent on any central function. For the station-wide interlocking, the IEDs
communicate via the station bus or by using hard wired binary inputs/outputs.
The interlocking conditions depend on the circuit configuration and status of the
system at any given time.
After the selection and reservation of an apparatus, the function has complete data on
the status of all apparatuses in the switchyard that are affected by the selection. Other
operators cannot interfere with the reserved apparatus or the status of switching
devices that may affect it.
The open or closed positions of the HV apparatuses are inputs to software modules
distributed in the control IEDs. Each module contains the interlocking logic for a bay.
The interlocking logic in a module is different, depending on the bay function and the
switchyard arrangements, that is, double-breaker or 1 1/2 breaker bays have different
modules. Specific interlocking conditions and connections between standard
interlocking modules are performed with an engineering tool. Bay-level interlocking
signals can include the following kind of information:

When invalid data such as intermediate position, loss of a control IED, or input board
error are used as conditions for the interlocking condition in a bay, a release for
execution of the function will not be given.
On the local HMI an override function exists, which can be used to bypass the
interlocking function in cases where not all the data required for the condition is valid.
The input signals EXDU_xx shall be set to true if there is no transmission error at the
transfer of information from other bays. Required signals with designations ending in
TR are intended for transfer to other bays.

same time only in the intermediate and bad position state and if they are enabled by the
interlocking function. The position inputs come from the logical nodes Circuit

14.4.1 Functionality
The apparatus control functions are used for control and supervision of circuit
breakers, disconnectors and earthing switches within a bay. Permission to operate is
given after evaluation of conditions from other functions such as interlocking,
synchrocheck, operator place selection and external or internal blockings.
Normal security means that only the command is evaluated and the resulting position
is not supervised. Enhanced security means that the command is evaluated with an
additional supervision of the status value of the control object. The command
sequence with enhanced security is always terminated by a CommandTermination
service primitive and an AddCause telling if the command was successful or if
something went wrong.
Control operation can be performed from the local HMI with authority control if so
defined.
Primary apparatuses such as breakers and disconnectors are controlled and supervised
by one function block (SCSWI) each. Because the number and type of signals used for
the control of a breaker respectively a disconnector are almost the same, the same
function block type is used to handle these two types of apparatuses.
The SCSWI function block is connected either to an SXCBR function block (for
circuit breakers) or to an SXSWI function block (for disconnectors and earthing
switches). The physical process in the switchyard is connected to these two function
blocks via binary inputs and outputs.
Four types of function blocks are available to cover most of the control and
supervision within the bay. These function blocks are interconnected to form a control
function reflecting the switchyard configuration. The total number used depends on
the switchyard configuration. These four types are:

14.4.4.1 Functionality

The function sends information about the Permitted Source To Operate (PSTO) and
blocking conditions to other functions within the bay for example, switch control
functions and voltage control functions. The functionality of the Bay control
(QCBAY) function is mainly described by the LLN0 node in the IEC61850-8-1
edition 2 standard, applied to one bay. In IEC61850 edition 1 the functionality is not
described by the LLN0 node or any other node, therefore the Bay control function is
represented as a vendor specific node in edition 1.
When the local panel switch (or LHMI selection, depending on the set source to select
this) is in Off position, all commands from remote and local level will be ignored. If
the position for the local/remote switch is not valid the PSTO output will always be set
to faulty state (3), which means no possibility to operate.
To adapt the signals from the local HMI or from an external local/remote switch, the
function blocks LOCREM and LOCREMCTRL are needed and connected to
QCBAY.
If the parameter RemoteIncStation is set and the LR-switch position is in Remote state,
the PSTO value is set to 2 (Station or Remote), that is, it is permitted to operate from
both station and remote level without any priority.

Blockings
The blocking states for position indications and commands are intended to provide the
possibility for the user to make common blockings for the functions configured within
a complete bay.
The blocking facilities provided by the bay control function are the following:
Blocking of position indications, BL_UPD. This input will block all inputs
related to apparatus positions for all configured functions within the bay.
Blocking of commands, BL_CMD. This input will block all commands for all
configured functions within the bay.
Blocking of function, BLOCK. If the BLOCK signal is set, it means that the
function is active, but no outputs are generated, no reporting, control commands
are rejected and functional and configuration data is visible.
The switching of the Local/Remote switch requires at least system operator level. The
password will be requested at an attempt to operate if authority levels have been
defined in the IED. Otherwise the default authority level, SuperUser, can handle the
control without LogOn. The users and passwords are defined with the IED Users tool
in PCM600.

The function block Local remote (LOCREM) handles the signals coming from the
local/remote switch. The connections are seen in Figure 396, where the inputs on
function block LOCREM are connected to binary inputs if an external switch is used.
When the local HMI is used, the inputs are not used. The switching between external
and local HMI source is done through the parameter ControlMode. The outputs from
the LOCREM function block control the output PSTO (Permitted Source To Operate)

Figure 396: Configuration for the local/remote handling for a local HMI with two
bays and two screen pages
If the IED contains control functions for several bays, the local/remote position can be
different for the included bays. When the local HMI is used the position of the local/
remote switch can be different depending on which single line diagram screen page
that is presented on the local HMI. The function block Local remote control
(LOCREMCTRL) controls the presentation of the LEDs for the local/remote position
to applicable bay and screen page.
The switching of the local/remote switch requires at least system operator level. The
password will be requested at an attempt to operate if authority levels have been
defined in the IED. Otherwise the default authority level, SuperUser, can handle the
control without LogOn. The users and passwords are defined with the IED Users tool
in PCM600.
14.4.6.1 Functionality
The Switch controller (SCSWI) initializes and supervises all functions to properly
select and operate switching primary apparatuses. The Switch controller may handle

fulfilled. The involved functions for these condition verifications are interlocking,
reservation, blockings and synchrocheck.
Control handling
.
Two types of control models can be used. The two control models are "direct with
normal security" and "SBO (Select-Before-Operate) with enhanced security". The
parameter CtlModel defines which one of the two control models is used. The control
model "direct with normal security" does not require a select whereas, the "SBO with
enhanced security" command model requires a select before execution. The command
sequence for a command with control mode SBO with enhanced security is shown in
figure 398, with control mode direct with normal security is shown in figure 399.

Normal security means that only the command is evaluated and the resulting position
is not supervised. Enhanced security means that the command sequence is supervised
in three steps, the selection, command evaluation and the supervision of position.
Each step ends up with a pulsed signal to indicate that the respective step in the
command sequence is finished. If an error occurs in one of the steps in the command
sequence, the sequence is terminated. The last error (L_CAUSE) can be read from the
function block and used for example at commissioning.
Evaluation of position
The position output from the switches (SXCBR or SXSWI) is connected to the switch
controller SCSWI. The XPOS1, XPOS2 and XPOS3 input signals receive the
position, time stamps and quality attributes of the position which is used for further
evaluation.
In the case when there are three one-phase switches connected to the switch control
function, the switch control will "merge" the position of the three switches to the
resulting three-phase position. In the case when the position differ between the one-
phase switches, following principles will be applied:
The time stamp of the output three-phase position from switch control will have the
time stamp of the last changed phase when it reaches the end position. When it goes
to intermediate position or bad state, it will get the time stamp of the first changed
phase.
In addition, there is also the possibility that one of the one-phase switches will change
position at any time due to a trip. Such situation is here called pole discordance and is
supervised by this function. In case of a pole discordance situation, that is, the
positions of the one-phase switches are not equal positions for a time longer than the
setting tPoleDiscord, an error signal POLEDISC will be set.
In the supervision phase, the switch controller function evaluates the "cause" values
from the switch modules Circuit breaker (SXCBR)/ Circuit switch (SXSWI). At error
the "cause" value with highest priority is shown.
Blocking principles
The blocking signals are normally coming from the bay control function (QCBAY)
and via the IEC 61850 communication from the operator place.
The different block conditions will only affect the operation of this
function, that is, no blocking signals will be "forwarded" to other
functions. The above blocking outputs are stored in a non-volatile
memory.
When there is no positive confirmation from the synchrocheck function, SCSWI will
send a start signal START_SY to the synchronizing function, which will send the
closing command to SXCBR when the synchronizing conditions are fulfilled, see
Figure 400. If no synchronizing function is included, the timer for supervision of the
"synchronizing in progress signal" is set to 0, which means no start of the
synchronizing function. SCSWI will then set the attribute "blocked-by-
synchrocheck" in the "cause" signal. See also the time diagram in Figure 404.

Time diagrams
The Switch controller (SCSWI) function has timers for evaluating different time
supervision conditions. These timers are explained here.
The timer tSelect is used for supervising the time between the select and the execute
command signal, that is, the time the operator has to perform the command execution
after the selection of the object to operate.

reservation, that is, the time between reservation request and the feedback reservation
granted from all bays involved in the reservation function.

The parameter tSynchrocheck is used to define the maximum allowed time between
the execute command and the input SYNC_OK to become true. If SYNC_OK=true at
the time the execute command signal is received, the timer "tSynchrocheck" will not
start. The start signal for the synchronizing is obtained if the synchrocheck conditions
are not fulfilled.
The parameter tSynchronizing is used to define the maximum allowed time between
the start signal for synchronizing and the confirmation that synchronizing is in
progress.

The Circuit breaker function (SXCBR) is used by other functions such as for example,
switch controller, protection functions, autorecloser function or an IEC 61850 client
residing in another IED or the operator place. This switch function executes
commands, evaluates block conditions and evaluates different time supervision
conditions. Only if all conditions indicate a switch operation to be allowed, the
function performs the execution command. In case of erroneous conditions, the
function indicates an appropriate "cause" value, see Table 444.
SXCBR has an operation counter for closing and opening commands. The counter
value can be read remotely from the operator place. The value is reset from local HMI,
a binary input or remotely from the operator place by configuring a signal from the
Single Point Generic Control 8 signals (SPC8GAPC) for example. The health of the
external equipment, the switch, can be monitored according to IEC61850-8-1. The
operation counter functionality and the external equipment health supervision are
independent sub-functions of the circuit breaker function.
Local/Remote switch
One binary input signal LR_SWI is included in SXCBR to indicate the local/remote
switch position from switchyard provided via the I/O board. If this signal is set to
TRUE it means that change of position is allowed only from switchyard level. If the
signal is set to FALSE it means that command from IED or higher level is permitted.
When the signal is set to TRUE all commands (for change of position) are rejected,
even trip commands from protection functions are rejected. The functionality of the
local/remote switch is described in Figure 406.

Blocking principles
SXCBR includes several blocking principles. The basic principle for all blocking
signals is that they will affect commands from all other clients for example, switch
controller, protection functions and autoreclosure.
Substitution
The substitution part in SXCBR is used for manual set of the position and quality of
the switch. The typical use of substitution is that an operator enters a manual value
because that the real process value is erroneous for some reason. SXCBR will then use
the manually entered value instead of the value for positions determined by the
process.
Time diagrams
There are two timers for supervising of the execute phase, tStartMove and
tIntermediate. tStartMove supervises that the primary device starts moving after the
execute output pulse is sent. tIntermediate defines the maximum allowed time for
intermediate position. Figure 407 explains these two timers during the execute phase.

The timers tOpenPulse and tClosePulse are the length of the execute output pulses to

command can have different pulse lengths. The pulses can also be set to be adaptive
with the configuration parameter AdaptivePulse. Figure 408 shows the principle of

If the breaker reaches the final position before the execution pulse
time has elapsed, and AdaptivePulse is not true, the function waits for
the end of the execution pulse before telling the activating function
that the command is completed.
There is one exception from the first item above. If the primary device is in open
position and an open command is executed or if the primary device is in closed
position and a close command is executed. In these cases, with the additional
condition that the configuration parameter AdaptivePulse is true, the execute output

The users of the Circuit switch (SXSWI) are other functions such as for example,
switch controller, protection functions, autorecloser function, or a 61850 client
residing in another IED or the operator place. SXSWI executes commands, evaluates
block conditions and evaluates different time supervision conditions. Only if all
conditions indicate a switch operation to be allowed, SXSWI performs the execution
command. In case of erroneous conditions, the function indicates an appropriate
"cause" value, see Table 444.
SXSWI has an operation counter for closing and opening commands. The counter
value can be read remotely from the operator place. The value is reset from a binary
input or remotely from the operator place by configuring a signal from the Single Point
Generic Control 8 signals (SPC8GAPC), for example.
Also, the health of the external equipment, the switch, can be monitored according to
IEC61850-8-1.
Local/Remote switch
One binary input signal LR_SWI is included in SXSWI to indicate the local/remote
switch position from switchyard provided via the I/O board. If this signal is set to
TRUE it means that change of position is allowed only from switchyard level. If the
signal is set to FALSE it means that command from IED or higher level is permitted.
When the signal is set to TRUE all commands (for change of position) from internal
IED clients are rejected, even trip commands from protection functions are rejected.
The functionality of the local/remote switch is described in Figure 411.

The Bay reserve (QCRSV) function handles the reservation. QCRSV function starts
to operate in two ways. It starts when there is a request for reservation of the own bay
or if there is a request for reservation from another bay. It is only possible to reserve
the function if it is not currently reserved. The signal that can reserve the own bay is
the input signal RES_RQx (x=1-8) coming from switch controller (SCWI). The
signals for request from another bay are the outputs RE_RQ_B and V_RE_RQ from
function block RESIN. These signals are included in signal EXCH_OUT from RESIN
and are connected to RES_DATA in QCRSV.
The parameters ParamRequestx (x=1-8) are chosen at reservation of the own bay only
(TRUE) or other bays (FALSE). To reserve the own bay only means that no
reservation request RES_BAYS is created.
If the RESERVED output is not set, the selection is made with the output RES_GRTx
(where x=1-8 is the number of the requesting apparatus), which is connected to switch
controller SCSWI. If the bay already is reserved the command sequence will be reset
and the SCSWI will set the attribute "1-of-n-control" in the "cause" signal.
When it receives acknowledge from the bays via the input RES_DATA, it sets the
output RES_GRTx (where x=1-8 is the number of the requesting apparatus). If not
acknowledgement from all bays is received within a certain time defined in SCSWI
(tResResponse), the SCSWI will reset the reservation and set the attribute "1-of-n-
control" in the "cause" signal.
The reservation function can also be overridden in the own bay with the OVERRIDE
input signal, that is, reserving the own bay without waiting for the external
acknowledge.
If there are more than eight apparatuses in the bay there has to be one additional
QCRSV. The two QCRSV functions have to communicate and this is done through
the input EXCH_IN and EXCH_OUT according to Figure 416. If more than one
QCRSV are used, the execution order is very important. The execution order must be
in the way that the first QCRSV has a lower number than the next one.

A permissive scheme is inherently faster and has better security against false tripping
than a blocking scheme. On the other hand, a permissive scheme depends on a
received signal for a fast trip, so its dependability is lower than that of a blocking
scheme.
The received signal, which shall be connected to CR, is used to not release the zone to
be accelerated to clear the fault instantaneously (after time tCoord). The forward
overreaching zone to be accelerated is connected to the input CACC, see figure 429.
In case of external faults, the blocking signal (CR) must be received before the settable
timer tCoord elapses, to prevent a false trip, see figure 429.
The function can be totally blocked by activating the input BLOCK, block of trip by

In order to avoid delays due to carrier coordination times, the initiation of sending of
blocking signal to remote end is done by a fault inception detection element based on
delta quantities of currents and voltages. The delta based fault detection is very fast
and if the channel is fast there is no need for delaying the operation of the remote
distance element. The received blocking signal arrives well before the distance
element has started. If the fault is in forward direction the sending is immediately
stopped by a forward directed distance, directional current or directional earth fault
element.
The fault inception detection element detects instantaneous changes in any phase
currents or zero sequence current in combination with a change in the corresponding
phase voltage or zero sequence voltage. The criterion for the fault inception detection
is if the change of any phase voltage and current exceeds the settings DeltaU and
DeltaI respectively, or if the change of zero sequence voltage and zero sequence
current exceeds the settings Delta3U0,Delta3I0 respectively. The schemeType is
selected as DeltaBlocking.
If the fault inception function has detected a system fault, a block signal CS will be
issued and sent to remote end in order to block the overreaching zones. Different
criteria has to be fulfilled for sending the CS signal:
1. The breaker has to be in closed condition, that is, the input signal CBOPEN is
deactivated.
2. A fault inception should have been detected while the carrier send signal is not
blocked, that is, the input signal BLKCS is not activated.
If it is later detected that it was an internal fault that made the function issue the CS
signal, the function will issue a CHSTOP signal to unblock the remote end.
The received signal, which is connected to the CR input, is not used to accelerate the
release of the overreaching zone to clear the fault instantaneously. The overreaching
zone to be accelerated is connected to the input CACC, see Figure 430.
In case of external faults, the blocking signal (CR) must be received before the settable
timer tCoord elapses, to prevent a false trip, see Figure 430.
The function can be totally blocked by activating the input BLOCK, block of trip by
activating the input BLKTR, block of carrier send by activating the input BLKCS.

The logic for trip signal is the same as for permissive underreaching, as in figure 431.
The unblocking function uses a guard signal CRG, which must always be present,
even when no CR signal is received. The absence of the CRG signal for a time longer
than the setting tSecurity time is used as a CR signal, see figure 432. This also enables
a permissive scheme to operate when the line fault blocks the signal transmission. The
CRG signal is only used in unblocking schemes.
The received signal created by the unblocking function is reset 150 ms after the
security timer has elapsed. When that occurs an output signal LCG is activated for
signalling purpose. The unblocking function is reset 200 ms after that the guard signal
is present again.

Phase segregated Scheme ZC1PPSCH - 85
communication logic for distance
protection
15.2.2 Functionality
Communication between line ends is used to achieve fault clearance for all faults on
a power line. All possible types of communication schemes for example, permissive
underreach, permissive overreach and blocking schemes are available. To manage
problems with simultaneous faults on parallel power lines phase segregated
communication is needed. This will then replace the standard Scheme communication
logic for distance or Overcurrent protection (ZCPSCH) on important lines where three
communication channels (in each subsystem) are available for the distance protection
communication.
The main purpose of the Phase segregated scheme communication logic for distance
protection (ZC1PPSCH) function is to supplement the distance protection function
such that:
fast clearance of faults is also achieved at the line end for which the faults are on
the part of the line not covered by its underreaching zone.
correct phase selection can be maintained to support single-pole tripping for
faults occurring anywhere on the entire length of a double circuit line.
To accomplish this, three separate communication channels, that is, one per phase,
each capable of transmitting a signal in each direction is required.
ZC1PPSCH can be completed with the current reversal and WEI logic for phase
segregated communication, when found necessary in Blocking and Permissive
overreaching schemes.

A permissive scheme is inherently faster and has better security against false tripping
than a blocking scheme. On the other hand, a permissive scheme depends on a
received signal for a fast trip, so its dependability is lower than that of a blocking
scheme.
The ability to select which distance protection zone is assigned to which input of
ZC1PPSCH makes this logic able to support practically any scheme communication
requirements regardless of their basic operating principle. The outputs to initiate
tripping and sending of the teleprotection signal are given in accordance with the type
of communication-aided scheme selected and the zone(s) and phase(s) of the distance
protection which have operated.
When power line carrier communication channels are used for permissive schemes
communication, unblocking logic which uses the loss of guard signal as a receive
criteria is provided. This logic compensates for the lack of dependability due to the
transmission of the command signal over the faulted line.
ZC1PPSCH can be totally blocked by activating the input BLOCK, block of trip is
achieved by activating the input BLKTRLx, Block of carrier send is done by
activating the input BLKCSLx.

Figure 437: Basic logic for trip carrier in one phase of a permissive underreach
scheme
The permissive overreach scheme has the same blocking possibilities as mentioned
for blocking scheme above. The blocking inputs are activated from the current
reversal logic when this function is included.
In the direct intertrip scheme, the carrier send signal CS is sent from an underreaching
zone that is tripping the line.
The received signal per phase is directly transferred to the trip function block for
tripping without local criteria. The signal is not further processed in the phase
segregated communication logic. In case of single-pole tripping the phase selection
and logic for tripping the three phases is performed in the trip function block.
The simplified logic diagram for one phase is shown in figure 438.

Current reversal and weak-end infeed ZCRWPSCH - 85
logic for distance protection 3-phase
15.3.2 Functionality
The ZCRWPSCH function provides the current reversal and weak end infeed logic
functions that supplement the standard scheme communication logic. It is not suitable
for standalone use as it requires inputs from the distance protection functions and the
scheme communications function included within the terminal.
On verification of a weak end infeed condition, the weak end infeed logic provides an
output for sending the received teleprotection signal back to the remote sending end
and other output(s) for local tripping. For terminals equipped for single- and two-pole
tripping, outputs for the faulted phase(s) are provided. Undervoltage detectors are
used to detect the faulted phase(s).

The current reversal logic can be enabled by setting the parameter CurrRev = On. The
current reversal logic uses a reverse zone connected to the input IRV to recognize the
fault on the parallel line in any of the phases. When the reverse zone has been activated
for a settable time tPickUpRev, it prevents sending of a communication signal and
activation of trip signal for a predefined time tDelayRev. This makes it possible for the
receive signal to reset before the carrier aided trip signal is activated due to the current

The prevention of sending the send signal CS and activation of the TRIP in the scheme
communication block ZCPSCH is carried out by connecting the IRVL signal to input
BLOCK in the ZCPSCH function.
The function has an internal 10 ms drop-off timer which secure that the current
reversal logic will be activated for short input signals even if the pick-up timer is set
to zero.
The weak-end infeed logic (WEI) function sends back (echoes) the received signal
under the condition that no fault has been detected on the weak-end by different fault
detection elements (distance protection in forward or reverse direction).
The WEI function returns the received signal, shown in Figure 441, when:
The setting parameter WEI is set to either Echo or Echo & Trip.
No active signal present on the input BLOCK.
The functional input CRL is active for a time longer than the tPickUpWei setting.
This input is usually connected to the CRL output on the scheme communication
logic ZCPSCH.
The WEI function is not blocked by the active signal connected to the WEIBLK1
functional input or to the VTSZ functional input. The later is usually configured
to the VTSZ functional output of the fuse-failure function.
No active signal has been present for at least 200 ms on the WEIBLK2 functional
input. An OR combination of all fault detection functions (not undervoltage) as
present within the IED is usually used for this purpose.
The weak-end infeed logic also echoes the received permissive signal when local

Current reversal and weak-end infeed logic for phase segregated communication
(ZC1WPSCH) function is used to prevent unwanted operations due to current reversal
when using permissive overreach protection schemes in application with parallel lines
where the overreach from the two ends overlaps on the parallel line.
The weak-end infeed logic is used in cases where the apparent power behind the
protection can be too low to activate the distance protection function. When activated,
received carrier signal together with local undervoltage criteria and no reverse zone
operation gives an instantaneous trip. The received signal is also echoed back to
accelerate the sending end.

15.5.2 Functionality
To achieve fast clearing of faults on the whole line, when no communication channel
is available, local acceleration logic ZCLCPSCH can be used. This logic enables fast
fault clearing and re-closing during certain conditions, but naturally, it can not fully
replace a communication channel.
The logic can be controlled either by the autorecloser (zone extension) or by the loss-
of-load current (loss-of-load acceleration).

The overreaching zone is connected to the input EXACC. For this reason, configure
the ARREADY functional input to a READY functional output of a used
autoreclosing function or via the selected binary input to an external autoreclosing
device, see figure 448.
IEC05000157 V1 EN
After the autorecloser initiates the close command and remains in the reclaim state,
there will be no ARREADY signal, and the protection will trip normally with step
distance time functions.
In case of a fault on the adjacent line within the overreaching zone range, an unwanted
autoreclosing cycle will occur. The step distance function at the reclosing attempt will
prevent an unwanted retrip when the breaker is reclosed.
On the other hand, at a persistent line fault on line section not covered by instantaneous
zone (normally zone 1) only the first trip will be "instantaneous".
The function will be blocked if the input BLOCK is activated (common with loss-of-
load acceleration).

Input signal CACC is used for tripping of the communication scheme, normally
the start signal of a forward overreaching step of STFW.
Input signal CSBLK is used for sending block signal in the blocking
communication scheme, normally the start signal of a reverse overreaching step
of STRV.
Input signal CSUR is used for sending permissive signal in the underreaching
permissive communication scheme, normally the start signal of a forward
underreaching step of STINn, where n corresponds to the underreaching step.
Input signal CSOR is used for sending permissive signal in the overreaching
permissive communication scheme, normally the start signal of a forward
overreaching step of STINn, where n corresponds to the overreaching step.
In addition to this a signal from the autoreclosing function should be configured to the
BLKCS input for blocking of the function at a single phase reclosing cycle.
In the blocking scheme a signal is sent to the other line end if the directional element
detects an earth fault in the reverse direction. When the forward directional element
operates, it trips after a short time delay if no blocking signal is received from the
opposite line end. The time delay, normally 30 40 ms, depends on the
communication transmission time and a chosen safety margin.
One advantage of the blocking scheme is that only one channel (carrier frequency) is
needed if the ratio of source impedances at both end is approximately equal for zero
and positive sequence source impedances, the channel can be shared with the
impedance measuring system, if that system also works in the blocking mode. The
communication signal is transmitted on a healthy line and no signal attenuation will
occur due to the fault.
If the fault is on the line, the forward direction measuring element operates. If no
blocking signal comes from the other line end via the CR binary input (received
signal) the TRIP output is activated after the tCoord set time delay.
IEC05000448 V1 EN
In the permissive scheme the forward directed earth-fault measuring element sends a
permissive signal to the other end, if an earth fault is detected in the forward direction.
The directional element at the other line end must wait for a permissive signal before
activating a trip signal. Independent channels must be available for the
communication in each direction.
An impedance measuring IED, which works in the same type of permissive mode,
with one channel in each direction, can share the channels with the communication
scheme for residual overcurrent protection. If the impedance measuring IED works in
the permissive overreaching mode, common channels can be used in single line
applications. In case of double lines connected to a common bus at both ends, use
common channels only if the ratio Z1S/Z0S (positive through zero-sequence source
impedance) is about equal at both ends. If the ratio is different, the impedance
measuring and the directional earth-fault current system of the healthy line may detect
a fault in different directions, which could result in unwanted tripping.
Common channels cannot be used when the weak-end infeed function is used in the
distance or earth-fault protection.
In case of an internal earth-fault, the forward directed measuring element operates and
sends a permissive signal to the remote end via the CS output (sent signal). Local
tripping is permitted when the forward direction measuring element operates and a
permissive signal is received via the CR binary input (received signal).

than the setting tSecurity time is used as a CR signal, see figure 452. This also enables
a permissive scheme to operate when the line fault blocks the signal transmission.

The directional comparison function contains logic for blocking overreaching and
permissive overreaching schemes.
The circuits for the permissive overreaching scheme contain logic for current reversal
and weak-end infeed functions. These functions are not required for the blocking
overreaching scheme.
Use the independent or inverse time functions in the directional earth fault protection
module to get backup tripping in case the communication equipment malfunctions
and prevents operation of the directional comparison logic.
Connect the necessary signal from the autorecloser for blocking of the directional
comparison scheme, during a single-phase autoreclosing cycle, to the BLOCK input
of the directional comparison module.
The fault current reversal logic uses a reverse directed element, connected to the input
signal IRV, which recognizes that the fault is in reverse direction. When the reverse
direction element is activated the output signal IRVL is activated which is shown in
Figure 454. The logic is now ready to handle a current reversal without tripping. The
output signal IRVL will be connected to the block input on the permissive
overreaching scheme.
When the fault current is reversed on the healthy line, IRV is deactivated and IRVBLK
is activated. The tDelayRev timer delays the reset of the output signal. The signal
blocks operation of the overreach permissive scheme for residual current and thus
prevents unwanted operation caused by fault current reversal.

The weak-end infeed function can be set to send only an echo signal (WEI=Echo) or
an echo signal and a trip signal (WEI=Echo & Trip). The corresponding logic
diagrams are depicted in Figure 455 and Figure 456.
The weak-end infeed logic uses normally a reverse and a forward direction element,
connected to WEIBLK2 via an OR-gate. If neither the forward nor the reverse
directional measuring element is activated during the last 200 ms, the weak-end infeed
logic echoes back the received permissive signal as shown in Figure 455 and Figure

CBOPEN is high (local breaker opens) prior to faults appeared at the end of line.
If the forward or the reverse directional measuring element is activated during the last

15.8.1 Introduction
Direct transfer trip (DTT) logic is used together with Line distance protection function
or other type of line protection. One typical example for use of transfer trip is given
below. When Line distance protection function is extended to cover power lines
feeding the transformer directly and there is a fault in transformer differential area, the
transformer differential protection operates faster than line protection. A trip
command is sent to the remote end of the line. On remote end, before sending a trip
command to the circuit breaker, the certainty of a fault condition is ensured by
checking local criterion in DTT logic.

Low active power and low power factor protection (LAPPGAPC) calculates power
and power factor from voltage and current values. Trip signal must be set
independently for low active power and low power factor condition after definite time
delay.

S L2 = U L2 IL2
EQUATION2244 V1 EN (Equation 168)

EQUATION2245 V1 EN (Equation 169)
Power factor is a ratio of active power to apparent power. The function calculates
power factor from the calculated values of active power and apparent power of L1, L2
and L3 loop by following equation:
PL1
pf L1 =
S L1

EQUATION2247 V1 EN (Equation 171)
PL 3
pf L 3 =

EQUATION2248 V1 EN (Equation 172)
The low active power functionality has a trip mode setting. According to this setting,
trip is activated if the low active power is detected in one out of three phases or two out
of three phases respectively. These two modes are user settable through setting
OpMode.
The function will do zero clamping to disable the calculation if the current and voltage
values of a particular phase are less than 30% of UBase for voltage and 3% of IBase
for current value.
Calculation
The active power setting value used for detection of under power must be given as a
three-phase value. The design starts to calculate internally the per phase value from
this setting and detect phase wise under power condition individually. The power
factor start value is common for all the three phases.
Phase wise analog values apparent power, active power, reactive power and power
factor are available as service values.

The main measured inputs to COUVGAPC are three-phase voltage and current
signals. COUVGAPCuses line resistance, reactance and line charging capacitance to
calculate the remote end voltage. It also takes the input for local shunt reactor,

Above calculated compensated voltage is compared to preset over and under voltage
levels set as percentage of base voltage UBase. If the calculated voltage exceeds
setting in any phase, COUVGAPC generates start and trip signals for that phase and
common start and trip signals. Independent enabling for overvoltage and
undervoltage are available with definite time delay. If shunt reactor is not present in
the system, COUVGAPC does not include any effect of shunt reactor while
calculating the compensated voltage. This shunt reactor calculation is enabled when
both input SWIPOS is 1 and setting parameter EnShuntReactor is On. Run time

Sudden change in current variation (SCCVPTOC) function is a fast way of finding any
abnormality in line currents. When there is a fault in the system, the current changes
faster than the voltage. SCCVPTOC finds abnormal condition based on phase-to-

The functionality of the Carrier receive logic (LCCRPTRC) is to release the TRIP
signal for DTT scheme based on the LOCTRL1, LOCTRL2, LOCTRL3, and LOCTR
signals coming from local criterion, and the Carrier receive signals CR1 and CR2.
There are two modes of operation 1 out of 2 and 2 out of 2. In the case of the 1 out of 2
mode if any one of the carrier signal is received then the trip signals will be released,
and in 2 out of 2 mode both the CRs should be high to release trip signal. If any one of
the channel error signals is high in 2 out of 2 mode, then logic automatically switches
to 1 out of 2 mode after a time delay of 200 ms. After switching to 1/2 mode under
channel error condition and if channel error gets cleared the mode will switch back
only after a time delay of 200 ms.
If the input channel error signal is high then the respective carrier receive signal will
be blocked.
The complete function can be blocked by setting the BLOCK input high.

SMPPTRC function for single-phase and two-phase tripping has additional phase
segregated inputs for this, as well as inputs for faulted phase selection. The latter
inputs enable single- phase and two-phase tripping for those functions which do not
have their own phase selection capability, and therefore which have just a single trip
output and not phase segregated trip outputs for routing through the phase segregated
trip inputs of the expanded SMPPTRC function. Examples of such protection
functions are the residual overcurrent protections. The expanded SMPPTRC function
has two inputs for these functions, one for impedance tripping (for example, carrier-
aided tripping commands from the scheme communication logic), and one for earth
fault tripping (for example, tripping output from a residual overcurrent protection).
The expanded SMPPTRC function has three trip outputs TRL1, TRL2, TRL3 (besides
the trip output TRIP), one per phase, for connection to one or more of the IEDs binary
outputs, as well as to other functions within the IED requiring these signals. There are
also separate output signals indicating single-phase, two-phase or three-phase trip.
These signals are important for cooperation with the autorecloser SMBRREC
function.
The expanded SMPPTRC function is equipped with logic which secures correct
operation for evolving faults as well as for reclosing on to persistent faults. A special
input is also provided which disables single- phase and two-phase tripping, forcing all
tripping to be three-phase.
The breaker close lockout function can be activated from an external trip signal from
another protection function via input (SETLKOUT) or internally at a three-phase trip,
if desired.
It is possible to lockout seal in the tripping output signals or use blocking of closing
only the choice is by setting TripLockout.

OUTx represents a value when activated. The value of each of the OUTx is in
accordance with the table IB16_1. When not activated the OUTx has the value 0.
In the above example when integer 15 is on the input INP the OUT1 has a value =1,
OUT2 has a value =2, OUT3 has a value =4 and OUT4 has a value =8. The sum of
these OUTx is equal to 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 = 15.
This follows the general formulae: The sum of the values of all OUTx = 2x-1 where
1x16 will be equal to the integer value on the input INP.
The Integer to Boolean 16 conversion function (IB16) will transfer an integer with a
value between 0 to 65535 connected to the input INP to a combination of activated
outputs OUTx where 1x16. The sum of the values of all OUTx will then be equal
to the integer on input INP. The values of the different OUTx are according to the table
below. When an OUTx is not activated, its value is 0.
When all OUTx where 1x16 are activated that is = Boolean 1 it corresponds to that
integer 65535 is connected to input INP. The IB16 function is designed for receiving
the integer input locally. If the BLOCK input is activated, it will freeze the logical
outputs at the last value.

16.13.2 Functionality
Integer to boolean conversion with logic node representation function ITBGAPC is
used to transform an integer which is transmitted over IEC 61850 and received by the
function to 16 binary coded (logic) output signals.
ITBGAPC function can only receive remote values over IEC 61850 when the R/L
(Remote/Local) push button on the front HMI, indicates that the control mode for the
operator is in position R (Remote i.e. the LED adjacent to R is lit ), and the
corresponding signal is connected to the input PSTO ITBGAPC function block. The
input BLOCK will freeze the output at the last received value and blocks new integer
values to be received and converted to binary coded outputs.

The value of each OUTx for 1x16 (1x16) follows the general formulae: OUTx
= 2x-1 The sum of the values of all activated OUTx = 2x-1 where 1x16 will be equal
to the integer value received over IEC61850 to the ITBGAPC_1 function block.
The ITBGAPC function is designed for receiving the integer input from a station
computer - for example, over IEC 61850. If the BLOCK input is activated, it will
freeze the logical outputs at the last value.

The sum of the numbers in column Value when activated when all OUTx (1x16)
are active equals 65535. This is the highest integer that can be converted to boolean by
the ITBGAPC function block.
The operator position input (PSTO) determines the operator place. The integer
number that is communicated to the ITBGAPC can only be written to the block while
the PSTO is in position Remote. If PSTO is in position Off or Local, then no
changes are applied to the outputs.

taken from second input signal (REF). If RefSource is selected as SetValue then the
reference value for comparison is taken from setting (SetValue).
Generally the inputs to the function are in SI units, but when the comparison is to be
done with respect to set level, then the user can set a value in any unit out of Milli to

17.1.2 Functionality
Measurement functions are used for power system measurement, supervision and
reporting to the local HMI, monitoring tool within PCM600 or to station level for
example, via IEC 61850. The possibility to continuously monitor measured values of
active power, reactive power, currents, voltages, frequency, power factor etc. is vital
All measured values can be supervised with four settable limits that is, low-low limit,
low limit, high limit and high-high limit. A zero clamping reduction is also supported,
that is, the measured value below a settable limit is forced to zero which reduces the
impact of noise in the inputs.
Dead-band supervision can be used to report measured signal value to station level
when change in measured value is above set threshold limit or time integral of all
changes since the last time value updating exceeds the threshold limit. Measure value
can also be based on periodic reporting.
,
The measuring functions CMMXU, VMMXU and VNMMXU provide physical
quantities:
It is possible to calibrate the measuring function above to get better then class 0.5
presentation. This is accomplished by angle and amplitude compensation at 5, 30 and
100% of rated current and at 100% of rated voltage.

17.1.5 Settings
The available setting parameters of the measurement function (MMXU, MSQI) are
depending on the actual hardware (TRM) and the logic configuration made in
PCM600.
These six functions are not handled as a group, so parameter settings are only available
in the first setting group.
The following terms are used in the Unit and Description columns:
UBase: Base voltage in primary kV. This voltage is used as reference for voltage
setting. It can be suitable to set this parameter to the rated primary voltage
supervised object.
IBase: Base current in primary A. This current is used as reference for current
setting. It can be suitable to set this parameter to the rated primary current of the
supervised object.
SBase: Base setting for power values in MVA.
The protection, control, and monitoring IEDs have functionality to measure and
further process information for currents and voltages obtained from the pre-
processing blocks. The number of processed alternate measuring quantities depends
on the type of IED and built-in options.
The information on measured quantities is available for the user at different locations:
Overfunction, when the measured current exceeds the High limit (XHiLim) or
High-high limit (XHiHiLim) pre-set values
Underfunction, when the measured current decreases under the Low limit
(XLowLim) or Low-low limit (XLowLowLim) pre-set values.

Each analogue output has one corresponding supervision level output (X_RANGE).
The output signal is an integer in the interval 0-4 (0: Normal, 1: High limit exceeded,
3: High-high limit exceeded, 2: below Low limit and 4: below Low-low limit). The
output may be connected to a measurement expander block (XP (RANGE_XP)) to get
measurement supervision as binary signals.
The logical value of the functional output signals changes according to figure 169.
The user can set the hysteresis (XLimHyst), which determines the difference between
the operating and reset value at each operating point, in wide range for each measuring
channel separately. The hysteresis is common for all operating values within one
channel.
of the value to the higher levels depends on the selected reporting mode. The
following basic reporting modes are available:
Cyclic reporting
The cyclic reporting of measured value is performed according to chosen setting
(XRepTyp). The measuring channel reports the value independent of amplitude or
integral dead-band reporting.
In addition to the normal cyclic reporting the IED also report spontaneously when
measured value passes any of the defined threshold limits.

IEC99000529-2-en.vsdx
IEC99000529 V2 EN
After the new value is reported, the Y limits for dead-band are automatically set
around it. The new value is reported only if the measured quantity changes more than
defined by the Y set limits.
The last value reported, Y1 in figure 172 serves as a basic value for further
measurement. A difference is calculated between the last reported and the newly
measured value and is multiplied by the time increment (discrete integral). The
absolute values of these integral values are added until the pre-set value is exceeded.
This occurs with the value Y2 that is reported and set as a new base for the following
measurements (as well as for the values Y3, Y4 and Y5).
The integral dead-band supervision is particularly suitable for monitoring signals with
small variations that can last for relatively long periods.

Default value for parameter k is 0.00. With this value the new calculated value is
immediately given out without any filtering (that is, without any additional delay).
When k is set to value bigger than 0, the filtering is enabled. Appropriate value of k
shall be determined separately for every application. Some typical value for k =0.14.
Compensation facility
In order to compensate for small amplitude and angular errors in the complete
measurement chain (CT error, VT error, IED input transformer errors and so on.) it is
possible to perform on site calibration of the power measurement. This is achieved by
setting the complex constant which is then internally used within the function to
multiply the calculated complex apparent power S. This constant is set as amplitude
(setting parameter PowAmpFact, default value 1.000) and angle (setting parameter
PowAngComp, default value 0.0 degrees). Default values for these two parameters are
done in such way that they do not influence internally calculated value (complex
constant has default value 1). In this way calibration, for specific operating range (for
example, around rated power) can be done at site. However, to perform this calibration
it is necessary to have an external power meter with high accuracy class available.
Directionality
If CT earthing parameter is set as described in section "Analog inputs", active and
reactive power will be measured always towards the protected object. This is shown
in the following figure 525.
Busbar
IED
P Q
Protected
Object
IEC09000038-1-en.vsd
IEC09000038-1-EN V1 EN
Practically, it means that active and reactive power will have positive values when
they flow from the busbar towards the protected object and they will have negative
values when they flow from the protected object towards the busbar.
In some application, for example, when power is measured on the secondary side of
the power transformer it might be desirable, from the end client point of view, to have
actually opposite directional convention for active and reactive power measurements.
This can be easily achieved by setting parameter PowAngComp to value of 180.0
degrees. With such setting the active and reactive power will have positive values
when they flow from the protected object towards the busbar.
Frequency
Frequency is actually not calculated within measurement block. It is simply obtained
from the pre-processing block and then just given out from the measurement block as
an output.
Phase currents (amplitude and angle) are available on the outputs and each amplitude
output has a corresponding supervision level output (ILx_RANG). The supervision
output signal is an integer in the interval 0-4, see section "Measurement supervision".
The voltages (phase or phase-phase voltage, amplitude and angle) are available on the
outputs and each amplitude output has a corresponding supervision level output
(ULxy_RANG). The supervision output signal is an integer in the interval 0-4, see
section "Measurement supervision".
Positive, negative and three times zero sequence quantities are available on the
outputs (voltage and current, amplitude and angle). Each amplitude output has a
corresponding supervision level output (X_RANGE). The output signal is an integer
in the interval 0-4, see section "Measurement supervision".

There is a time difference t1 between the start of the main contact opening and the
opening of the POSCLOSE auxiliary contact. Similarly, there is a time difference t2
between the time when the POSOPEN auxiliary contact opens and the main contact is
completely open. Therefore, a correction factor needs to be added to get the actual
opening time. This factor is added with the OpenTimeCorr (t1+t2) setting. The closing
time is calculated by adding the value set with the CloseTimeCorr (t3+t4) setting to
the measured closing time.
The last measured opening travel time (TTRVOP) and the closing travel time
(TTRVCL) are given as service values.
The values can be reset using the Clear menu on the LHMI or by activation the input
RSTCBWR.
It is also possible to block the TRVTCLAL and TRVTOPAL alarm signals by activating
the BLKALM input.
The circuit breaker status subfunction monitors the position of the circuit breaker, that
is, whether the breaker is in the open, closed or error position. The operation is

The Remaining life of circuit breaker subfunction is used to give an indication on the
wear and tear of the circuit breaker. Every time the breaker operates, the life of the
circuit breaker reduces due to wear. The breaker wear depends on the interrupted
current. The remaining life of the breaker is estimated from the circuit breaker trip
curve provided by the manufacturer. The remaining life is decreased by at least one
when the circuit breaker is opened. The operation of the remaining life of circuit

The calculation is initiated with the POSCLOSE or TRIND input events. It ends when
the RMS current is lower than the AccStopCurr setting.
The ContTrCorr setting is used to determine the accumulated energy in relation to the
time the main contact opens. If the setting is positive, the calculation of energy starts
after the auxiliary contact has opened and the delay equal to the value of the
ContTrCorr setting has passed. When the setting is negative, the calculation starts in
advance by the correction time in relation to when the auxiliary contact opened.

the trip initiation and the opening of the main contact is introduced by the setting
OperTimeDelay.
The accumulated energy output IPOWPH is provided as a service value. The value can

17.5.2 Functionality
When using a Substation Automation system with LON or SPA communication,
time-tagged events can be sent at change or cyclically from the IED to the station level.
These events are created from any available signal in the IED that is connected to the
Event function (EVENT). The event function block is used for LON and SPA
communication.
Analog and double indication values are also transferred through EVENT function.

Each EVENT function has 16 inputs INPUT1 - INPUT16. Each input can be given a
name from the Application Configuration tool. The inputs are normally used to create
single events, but are also intended for double indication events.
EVENT function also has an input BLOCK to block the generation of events.
The events that are sent from the IED can originate from both internal logical signals
and binary input channels. The internal signals are time-tagged in the main processing
module, while the binary input channels are time-tagged directly on the input module.
The time-tagging of the events that are originated from internal logical signals have a
resolution corresponding to the execution cycle-time of the source application. The
time-tagging of the events that are originated from binary input signals have a
resolution of 1 ms.
The outputs from EVENT function are formed by the reading of status, events and
alarms by the station level on every single input. The user-defined name for each input
is intended to be used by the station level.
All events according to the event mask are stored in a buffer, which contains up to
1000 events. If new events appear before the oldest event in the buffer is read, the
oldest event is overwritten and an overflow alarm appears.
The events are produced according to the set-event masks. The event masks are treated
commonly for both the LON and SPA communication. The EventMask can be set
individually for each input channel. These settings are available:
NoEvents
OnSet
OnReset
OnChange
AutoDetect
It is possible to define which part of EVENT function generates the events. This can
be performed individually for the SPAChannelMask and LONChannelMask
respectively. For each communication type these settings are available:
Off
Channel 1-8
Channel 9-16
Channel 1-16
For LON communication the events normally are sent to station level at change. It is
possibly also to set a time for cyclic sending of the events individually for each input
channel.
To protect the SA system from signals with a high change rate that can easily saturate
the event system or the communication subsystems behind it, a quota limiter is
implemented. If an input creates events at a rate that completely consume the granted
quota then further events from the channel will be blocked. This block will be
removed when the input calms down and the accumulated quota reach 66% of the
maximum burst quota. The maximum burst quota per input channel is 45 events per
second.

The whole disturbance report can contain information for a number of recordings,
each with the data coming from all the parts mentioned above. The event list function
is working continuously, independent of disturbance triggering, recording time, and
so on. All information in the disturbance report is stored in non-volatile flash
memories. This implies that no information is lost in case of loss of auxiliary power.
Each report will get an identification number in the interval from 0-999.

might cause disturbance recordings to be deleted due to lack of disk
space.
Disturbance information
Date and time of the disturbance, the indications, events, fault location and the trip
values are available on the local HMI. To acquire a complete disturbance report the
user must use a PC and - either the PCM600 Disturbance handling tool - or a FTP or
MMS (over 61850) client. The PC can be connected to the IED front, rear or remotely
via the station bus (Ethernet ports).
Indications (IND)
Indications is a list of signals that were activated during the total recording time of the
disturbance (not time-tagged).
Time tagging
The IED has a built-in real-time calendar and clock. This function is used for all time
tagging within the disturbance report
Recording times
Disturbance report DRPRDRE records information about a disturbance during a
settable time frame. The recording times are valid for the whole disturbance report.

PostFaultRecT, 3 Post fault recording time. The time the disturbance recording continues after all
activated triggers are reset. Use the setting PostFaultRecT to set this time.
TimeLimit Limit time. The maximum allowed recording time after the disturbance recording was
triggered. The limit time is used to eliminate the consequences of a trigger that does
not reset within a reasonable time interval. It limits the maximum recording time of a
recording and prevents subsequent overwriting of already stored disturbances. Use
the setting TimeLimit to set this time.
Analog signals
Up to 40 analog signals can be selected for recording by the Disturbance recorder and
triggering of the Disturbance report function. Out of these 40, 30 are reserved for
external analog signals from analog input modules (TRM) and line data
communication module (LDCM) via preprocessing function blocks (SMAI) and
summation block (3PHSUM). The last 10 channels may be connected to internally
calculated analog signals available as function block output signals (mA input signals,
phase differential currents, bias currents and so on).

The external input signals will be acquired, filtered and skewed and (after
configuration) available as an input signal on the AxRADR function block via the
SMAI function block. The information is saved at the Disturbance report base
sampling rate (1000 or 1200 Hz). Internally calculated signals are updated according
to the cycle time of the specific function. If a function is running at lower speed than
the base sampling rate, Disturbance recorder will use the latest updated sample until
a new updated sample is available.
If the IED is preconfigured the only tool needed for analog configuration of the
Disturbance report is the Signal Matrix Tool (SMT, external signal configuration). In
case of modification of a preconfigured IED or general internal configuration the
Application Configuration tool within PCM600 is used.
The preprocessor function block (SMAI) calculates the residual quantities in cases
where only the three phases are connected (AI4-input not used). SMAI makes the
information available as a group signal output, phase outputs and calculated residual
output (AIN-output). In situations where AI4-input is used as an input signal the
corresponding information is available on the non-calculated output (AI4) on the
SMAI function block. Connect the signals to the AxRADR accordingly.
For each of the analog signals, Operation = On means that it is recorded by the
disturbance recorder. The trigger is independent of the setting of Operation, and
triggers even if operation is set to Off. Both undervoltage and overvoltage can be used
as trigger conditions. The same applies for the current signals.
If Operation = On, waveform (samples) will also be recorded and reported in graph.
The analog signals are presented only in the disturbance recording, but they affect the
entire disturbance report when being used as triggers.
Binary signals
Up to 128 binary signals can be selected to be handled by disturbance report. The
signals can be selected from internal logical and binary input signals. A binary signal
is selected to be recorded when:
Each of the 128 signals can be selected as a trigger of the disturbance report
(Operation = On). A binary signal can be selected to activate the red LED on the local
HMI (SetLED = On).
The selected signals are presented in the event recorder, event list and the disturbance
recording. But they affect the whole disturbance report when they are used as triggers.
The indications are also selected from these 128 signals with local HMI
IndicationMask = Show/Hide.
Trigger signals
The trigger conditions affect the entire disturbance report, except the event list, which
runs continuously. As soon as at least one trigger condition is fulfilled, a complete
disturbance report is recorded. On the other hand, if no trigger condition is fulfilled,
there is no disturbance report, no indications, and so on. This implies the importance
of choosing the right signals as trigger conditions.
Manual trigger
Binary-signal trigger
Analog-signal trigger (over/under function)
Manual trigger
A disturbance report can be manually triggered from the local HMI, PCM600 or via
station bus (IEC 61850). When the trigger is activated, the manual trigger signal is
generated. This feature is especially useful for testing. Refer to the operator's manual
for procedure.
Binary-signal trigger
Any binary signal state (logic one or a logic zero) can be selected to generate a trigger
(Triglevel = Trig on 0/Trig on 1). When a binary signal is selected to generate a trigger
from a logic zero, the selected signal will not be listed in the indications list of the
disturbance report.
Analog-signal trigger
All analog signals are available for trigger purposes, no matter if they are recorded in
the disturbance recorder or not. The settings are OverTrigOp, UnderTrigOp,
OverTrigLe and UnderTrigLe.
The check of the trigger condition is based on peak-to-peak values. When this is
found, the absolute average value of these two peak values is calculated. If the average
value is above the threshold level for an overvoltage or overcurrent trigger, this trigger
is indicated with a greater than (>) sign with the user-defined name.
If the average value is below the set threshold level for an undervoltage or
undercurrent trigger, this trigger is indicated with a less than (<) sign with its name.
The procedure is separately performed for each channel.
This method of checking the analog start conditions gives a function which is
insensitive to DC offset in the signal. The operate time for this start is typically in the
range of one cycle, 20 ms for a 50 Hz network.
All under/over trig signal information is available on the local HMI and PCM600.
Post Retrigger
Disturbance report function does not automatically respond to any new trig condition
during a recording, after all signals set as trigger signals have been reset. However,
under certain circumstances the fault condition may reoccur during the post-fault
recording, for instance by automatic reclosing to a still faulty power line.
When the retrig parameter is disabled (PostRetrig = Off), a new recording will not start
until the post-fault (PostFaultrecT or TimeLimit) period is terminated. If a new trig
occurs during the post-fault period and lasts longer than the proceeding recording a
new complete recording will be started.

Fault locator LMBRFLO - -
17.9.2 Functionality
The accurate fault locator is an essential component to minimize the outages after a
persistent fault and/or to pin-point a weak spot on the line.
The fault locator is an impedance measuring function giving the distance to the fault
in km, miles or % of line length. The main advantage is the high accuracy achieved by
compensating for load current and for the mutual zero-sequence effect on double
circuit lines.
The compensation includes setting of the remote and local sources and calculation of
the distribution of fault currents from each side. This distribution of fault current,
together with recorded load (pre-fault) currents, is used to exactly calculate the fault
position. The fault can be recalculated with new source data at the actual fault to
further increase the accuracy.
Especially on heavily loaded long lines, where the source voltage angles can be up to
35-40 degrees apart, the accuracy can be still maintained with the advanced
compensation included in fault locator.

Figure 554: Simplified network configuration with network data, required for
settings of the fault location-measuring function
If source impedance in the near and far end of the protected line have changed in a
significant manner relative to the set values at fault location calculation time (due to
exceptional switching state in the immediate network, power generation out of order,
and so on), new values can be entered via the local HMI and a recalculation of the
distance to the fault can be ordered using the algorithm described below. Its also
possible to change fault loop. In this way, a more accurate location of the fault can be
achieved.
The function indicates the distance to the fault as a percentage of the line length, in
kilometers or miles according to the setting LineLengthUnit. The fault location is
stored as a part of the disturbance report information (ER, DR, IND, TVR and FL) and
managed via the local HMI or PCM600.
For transmission lines with voltage sources at both line ends, the effect of double-end
infeed and additional fault resistance must be considered when calculating the
distance to the fault from the currents and voltages at one line end. If this is not done,
the accuracy of the calculated figure will vary with the load flow and the amount of
additional fault resistance.
The calculation algorithm used in the fault locator in compensates for the effect of
double-end infeed, additional fault resistance and load current.
Figure 555 shows a single-line diagram of a single transmission line, that is fed from
both ends with source impedances ZA and ZB. Assume that the fault occurs at a
distance F from IED A on a line with the length L and impedance ZL. The fault
resistance is defined as RF. A single-line model is used for better clarification of the
algorithm.

EQUATION108 V1 EN (Equation 211)
If the imaginary part of K3 is not zero, RF can be solved according to equation 211, and
then inserted to equation 210. According to equation 210, the relative distance to the
fault is solved as the root of a quadratic equation.
Equation 210 gives two different values for the relative distance to the fault as a
solution. A simplified load compensated algorithm, which gives an unequivocal
figure for the relative distance to the fault, is used to establish the value that should be
selected.
If the load compensated algorithms according to the above do not give a reliable
solution, a less accurate, non-compensated impedance model is used to calculate the
relative distance to the fault.
In the non-compensated impedance model, IA line current is used instead of IFA fault
current:

must be connected to appropriate inputs on the function block I103StatFltDis,

CALCMADE gives a pulse (100 ms) when a result is obtainable on FLTDISTX

The counter can be initialized to count from a settable non-zero value after reset of the
function. The function has also a maximum counted value check. The three
possibilities after reaching the maximum counted value are:
Stops counting and activates a steady overflow indication for the next count
Rolls over to zero and activates a steady overflow indication for the next count
Rolls over to zero and activates a pulsed overflow indication for the next count
The pulsed overflow output lasts up to the first count after rolling over to zero, as
illustrated in figure 557.

The Error output is activated as an indicator of setting the counter limits and/or initial
value setting(s) greater than the maximum value. The counter stops counting the input
and all the outputs except the error output remains at zero state. The error condition
remains until the correct settings for counter limits and/or initial value setting(s) are
applied.
The function can be blocked through a block input. During the block time, input is not
counted and outputs remain in their previous states. However, the counter can be
initialized after reset of the function. In this case the outputs remain in their initial
states until the release of the block input.
17.10.3.2 Reporting
Reset of the counter can be performed from the local HMI or via a binary input.
Reading of content and resetting of the function can also be performed remotely, for
example from a IEC 61850 client. The value can also be presented as a measurement
on the local HMI graphical display.

The ACC_HOUR output represents the accumulated time in hours and the ACC_DAY
output represents the accumulated time in days.
tAlarm and tWarning are user settable time limit parameters in hours. They are also
independent of each other, that is, there is no check if tAlarm > tWarning.
tAlarm, tWarning and tAddToTime are possible to be defined with a resolution of 0.1
hours (6 minutes).
The limit for the overflow supervision is fixed at 99999.9 hours. The outputs will reset
and the accumulated time will reset and start from zero if an overflow occurs.
Consequently in case of a power failure, there is a risk of losing the difference in time
between actual time and last time stored in the non-volatile memory.

18.1.2 Functionality
Pulse-counter logic (PCFCNT) function counts externally generated binary pulses,
for instance pulses coming from an external energy meter, for calculation of energy
consumption values. The pulses are captured by the binary input module and then read
by the PCFCNT function. A scaled service value is available over the station bus. The
special Binary input module with enhanced pulse counting capabilities must be
ordered to achieve this functionality.

tReporting 0 - 3600 s 1 60 Cycle time for reporting of counter value
The reporting time period can be set in the range from 1 second to 60 minutes and is
synchronized with absolute system time. Interrogation of additional pulse counter
values can be done with a command (intermediate reading) for a single counter. All
active counters can also be read by the LON General Interrogation command (GI) or
IEC 61850.
The reported value to station HMI over the station bus contains Identity, Scaled Value
(pulse count x scale), Time, and Pulse Counter Quality. The Pulse Counter Quality
consists of:
The transmission of the counter value by SPA can be done as a service value, that is,
the value frozen in the last integration cycle is read by the station HMI from the
database. PCFCNT updates the value in the database when an integration cycle is
finished and activates the NEW_VAL signal in the function block. This signal can be
connected to an Event function block, be time tagged, and transmitted to the station
HMI. This time corresponds to the time when the value was frozen by the function.
Figure 563 shows the pulse-counter logic function block with connections of the
inputs and outputs.
The BLOCK and READ_VAL inputs can be connected to Single Command logics,
which are intended to be controlled either from the station HMI or/and the local HMI.
As long as the BLOCK signal is set, the pulse counter is blocked. The signal connected
to READ_VAL performs one additional reading per positive flank. The signal must
be a pulse with a length >1 second.
The BI_PULSE input is connected to the used input of the function block for the
Binary Input Module (BIM).
Each pulse-counter logic function block has four binary output signals that can be
connected to an Event function block for event recording: INVALID, RESTART,
BLOCKED and NEW_VAL. The SCAL_VAL signal can be connected to the IEC
Event function block.
The INVALID signal is a steady signal and is set if the Binary Input Module, where
the pulse counter input is located, fails or has wrong configuration.
The RESTART signal is a steady signal and is set when the reported value does not
comprise a complete integration cycle. That is, in the first message after IED start-up,
in the first message after deblocking, and after the counter has wrapped around during
last integration cycle.
The BLOCKED signal is a steady signal and is set when the counter is blocked. There
are two reasons why the counter is blocked:
The NEW_VAL signal is a pulse signal. The signal is set if the counter value was
updated since last report.
The SCAL_VAL signal consists of scaled value (according to parameter Scale), time
and status information.

Function for energy calculation and ETPMMTR W_Varh -
demand handling
18.2.2 Functionality
Measurements function block (CVMMXN) can be used to measure active as well as
reactive power values. Function for energy calculation and demand handling
(ETPMMTR) uses measured active and reactive power as input and calculates the
accumulated active and reactive energy pulses, in forward and reverse direction.
Energy values can be read or generated as pulses. Maximum demand power values are
also calculated by the function. This function includes zero point clamping to remove
noise from the input signal. As output of this function: periodic energy calculations,
integration of energy values, calculation of energy pulses, alarm signals for limit
violation of energy values and maximum power demand, can be found.
The values of active and reactive energies are calculated from the input power values
by integrating them over a selected time tEnergy. The integration of active and
reactive energy values will happen in both forward and reverse directions. These
energy values are available as output signals and also as pulse outputs. Integration of
energy values can be controlled by inputs (STARTACC and STOPACC) and EnaAcc
setting and it can be reset to initial values with RSTACC input.
The maximum demand for active and reactive powers are calculated for the set time
interval tEnergy and these values are updated every minute through output channels.
The active and reactive maximum power demand values are calculated for both
forward and reverse direction and these values can be reset with RSTDMD input.

19.5.1 Introduction
The IEC 61850-9-2LE process bus communication protocol enables an IED to
communicate with devices providing measured values in digital format, commonly
known as Merging Units (MU). The physical interface in the IED that is used for the
communication is the OEM modules (the two port module version) "CD" port.
The function blocks are not represented in the configuration tool. The
signals appear only in the SMT tool when merging units (MU) are
included in the configuration with the function selector tool. In the
SMT tool they can be mapped to the desired virtual input (SMAI) of the
IED and used internally in the configuration.

Timeout
TSYNCERR Indicates that there is some timeout on any configured time source or the
time quality is worse than specified in SynchAccLevel. The timeout is individually
specified per time source (PPS, IRIG-B, SNTP etc.) See section "Time
synchronization"
Blocking condition
Application synch is not required for differential protection based on ECHO mode. A
missing PPS however will lead to a drift between MU and IED. Therefore protection
functions in this case will be blocked.
19.6.1 Functionality
An optical network can be used within the substation automation system. This enables
communication with the IED through the LON bus from the operators workplace,
from the control center and also from other terminals.
In this document the most common addresses for commands and events are available.
For other addresses, refer to section "".
It is assumed that the reader is familiar with LON communication protocol in general.
19.6.2 Settings

The LON bus links the different parts of the protection and control system. The
measured values, status information, and event information are spontaneously sent to
the higher-level devices. The higher-level devices can read and write memorized
values, setting values, and other parameter data when required. The LON bus also
enables the bay level devices to communicate with each other to deliver, for example,
interlocking information among the terminals without the need of a bus master.
The LonTalk protocol supports two types of application layer objects: network
variables and explicit messages. Network variables are used to deliver short messages,
such as measuring values, status information, and interlocking/blocking signals.
Explicit messages are used to transfer longer pieces of information, such as events and
explicit read and write messages to access device data.
The benefits achieved from using the LON bus in protection and control systems
include direct communication among all terminals in the system and support for
multi-master implementations. The LON bus also has an open concept, so that the
terminals can communicate with external devices using the same standard of network
variables.
LON protocol
Configuration of LON
LON network tool (LNT) is a multi-purpose tool for LonWorks network
configuration. All the functions required for setting up and configuring a LonWorks
network, is easily accessible on a single tool program.
Vertical communication
Vertical communication describes communication between the monitoring devices
and protection and control IEDs. This communication includes sending of changed
process data to monitoring devices as events and transfer of commands, parameter
data and disturbance recorder files. This communication is implemented using
explicit messages.
Binary events
Binary events are generated in event function blocks EVENT:1 to EVENT:20 in the
IEDs. The event function blocks have predefined LON addresses. Table 873 shows
the LON addresses to the first input on the event function blocks. Addresses to the
other inputs on the event function block are consecutive after the first input. For
example, input 15 on event block EVENT:17 has the address 1280 + 14 (15-1) = 1294.
For double indications, only the first eight inputs 18 must be used. Inputs 916 can
be used for other types of events at the same event block.
Three event function blocks EVENT:1 to EVENT:3 running with a fast loop time (3
ms) are available as basic in the IEDs.. The remaining event function blocks EVENT:
4 to EVENT:9 run with a loop time of 8 ms and EVENT:10 to EVENT:20 run with a
loop time of 100 ms. The event blocks are used to send binary signals, integers, real
time values like analogue data from measuring functions and mA input modules as
well as pulse counter signals.
The first LON address in every event function block is found in table 873

Event masks
The event mask for each input can be set individually from Parameter Setting Tool
(PST) under: Settings/IED settings/ Monitoring / EventFunction or via parameter
setting tool (PST) as follows:
No events
OnSet, at pick-up of the signal
OnReset, at drop-out of the signal
OnChange, at both pick-up and drop-out of the signal
AutoDetect, event system itself make the reporting decision, (reporting criteria
for integers has no semantic, prefer to be set by the user)
The following type of signals from application functions can be connected to the event
function block.
Single indication
Directly connected binary IO signal via binary input function block (SMBI) is always
reported on change, no changed detection is done in the event function block. Other
Boolean signals, for example a start or a trip signal from a protection function is event
masked in the event function block.
Double indications
Double indications can only be reported via switch-control (SCSWI) functions, the
event reporting is based on information from switch-control, no change detection is
done in the event function block.
Directly connected binary IO signal via binary input function block (SMBI) is not
possible to handle as double indication. Double indications can only be reported for
the first 8 inputs on an event function block.
Analog value
All analog values are reported cyclic. The reporting interval is taken from the
connected function if there is a limit supervised signal, otherwise it is taken from the
event function block.
Command handling
Commands are transferred using transparent SPA-bus messages. The transparent
SPA-bus message is an explicit LON message, which contains an ASCII character
message following the coding rules of the SPA-bus protocol. The message is sent
using explicit messages with message code 41H and using acknowledged transport
service.
Both the SPA-bus command messages (R or W) and the reply messages (D, A or N)
are sent using the same message code. It is mandatory that one device sends out only
one SPA-bus message at a time to one node and waits for the reply before sending the
next message.
For commands from the operator workplace to the IED for apparatus control, That is,
the function blocks type SCSWI 1 to 30, SXCBR 1 to 18 and SXSWI 1 to 24; the SPA
addresses are according to table 874.

19.7.1 Functionality
In this section the most common addresses for commands and events are available.
For other addresses, refer to section "".
It is assumed that the reader is familiar with the SPA communication protocol in
general.
19.7.2 Design
Using the rear SPA port for either local or remote communication with a PC requires
the following equipment:
Optical fibres
Opto/electrical converter for the PC
PC
The software needed in the PC, either local or remote, is PCM600. (Note! SPA cannot
be used with PCM600 2.6 or later).
When communicating between the local HMI and a PC, the only hardware required is
a front-connection cable. Note! SPA cannot be used from LHMI front, except for
using "FSTACCS", that is, Field Service Tool Access.

I/O modules
To read binary inputs, the SPA-addresses for the outputs of the I/O-module function
block are used, that is, the addresses for BI1 BI16. For SPA addresses, refer to
section Related documents in Product Guide.
The signals can be individually controlled from the operator station, remote-control
gateway, or from the local HMI on the IED. For Single command, 3 signals function
block, SINGLECMD:1 to SINGLECMD:3, the address is for the first output. The
other outputs follow consecutively after the first one. For example, output 7 on the
SINGLECMD:2 function block has the 5O533 address.

The MODE input defines if the output signals from SINGLECMD:1 is off, steady or
setable pulse length signals. This is set in Parameter Setting Tool (PST) under: Main
Menu/Settings / IED Settings / Control / Commands / Single Command or via
Parameter Setting Tool (PST).
Event function
Event function is intended to send time-tagged events to the station level (for example,
operator workplace) over the station bus. The events are there presented in an event
list. The events can be created from both internal logical signals and binary input
channels. All the internal signals are time tagged in the main processing module, while
the binary input channels are time tagged directly on each I/O module. The events are
produced according to the set of event masks. The event masks are treated commonly
for both the LON and SPA channels. All events according to the event mask are stored
in a buffer, which contains up to 1000 events. If new events appear before the oldest
event in the buffer is read, the oldest event is overwritten and an overflow alarm
appears.
Two special signals for event registration purposes are available in the IED, Terminal
Restarted (0E50) and Event buffer overflow (0E51).
The input parameters can be set individually from the Parameter Setting Tool (PST)
under: Main Menu/Settings / IED Settings / Monitoring / Event Function or via
parameter Setting Tool (PST) as follows:
No events
OnSet, at pick-up of the signal
OnReset, at drop-out of the signal
OnChange, at both pick-up and drop-out of the signal
AutoDetect, event system itself make the reporting decision, (reporting criteria
for integers has no semantic, prefer to be set by the user)
The Status and event codes for the Event functions are found in table 881.
These values are only applicable if the Event mask is masked OFF.

I103FLTPROT is used for fault indications in monitor direction. Each input on the
function block is specific for a certain fault type and therefore must be connected to a
correspondent signal present in the configuration. For example: 68_TRGEN
represents the General Trip of the device, and therefore must be connected to the
general trip signal SMPPTRC_TRIP or equivalent.
The delay observed in the protocol is the time difference in between the signal that is
triggering the Disturbance Recorder and the respective configured signal to the IEC
60870-5-103 I103FLTPROT.

I103POSCMD
19.8.14.1 Functionality
The I103POSCMD is a transceiver function that monitors activity on its input signals
and interprets any state transition into commands then sent over an established
IEC103 link. Additionally, it listens for general interrogation (GI) requests, to which
it will reply with a GI response message with the current state of each connected input.
The Position input is a double-indication signal and is GI enabled. This means that any
state transition, i.e. to ON, OFF, intermediate and faulty, will be reported
spontaneously. However, the intermediate and faulty states may be suppressed by
setting the "Report Intermediate Position" to "Off". See the settings for RS485 and
optical serial communication for more information.
The Select input is a single-indication signal and is also GI enabled. State transitions
to ON and OFF are reported spontaneously.
When the Block input is ON, the function will ignore GI requests and cease all
monitoring activity. Consequently, no transitions will be detected.
The I103POSCMD is also equipped with two additional commands; Operate and
Cancel. These are hidden in ACT and respond only to the base INF +2 and +3
respectively. See table below. The base INF (Information Number) parameter is an
IEC 60870-5-103 identifier that associates a function in a 103 Master (such as Scada)
with its equivalent in the IED.

Measurands
Function blocks in monitor direction for input measurands. Typically connected to
monitoring function, for example to power measurement CVMMXN.
The IED reports all valid measuring types depending on connected signals.
Upper limit for measured currents, active/reactive-power is 2.4 times rated value.
Upper limit for measured voltages and frequency is 1.2 times rated value.
The upper limit is the maximum value that can be encoded into the ASDU
(Application Service Data Unit). Any value higher than this value will be tagged as
OVERFLOW. The factors 1.2 and 2.4 are taken from the 103 standard and require that
a rated value to use as base exists, and then use 1.2 or 2.4 times <rated> as maxVal.
You can use 2.4 times rated as maxVal, but as there is no way to propagate value to
client, the use of a scale factor on <rated> does not make much difference.
Resolution is <maxVal> / 4095 and hence the lowest possible maxVal yields the best
accuracy.

Disturbance recordings
The following elements are used in the ASDUs (Application Service Data Units)
defined in the standard.
Analog signals, 40-channels: the channel number for each channel has to be specified.
Channels used in the public range are 1 to 8 and with:
Channel number used for the remaining 32 analog signals are numbers in the private
range 64 to 95.
Binary signals, 96-channels: for each channel the user can specify a FUNCTION
TYPE and an INFORMATION NUMBER.
Disturbance upload
All analog and binary signals that are recorded with disturbance recorder can be
reported to the master. The last eight disturbances that are recorded are available for
transfer to the master. A successfully transferred disturbance (acknowledged by the
master) will not be reported to the master again.
Information sent in the disturbance upload is specified by the standard; however, some
of the information are adapted to information available in disturbance recorder in the
IED series.
This section describes all data that is not exactly as specified in the standard.
ASDU23
Bit TP: the protection equipment has tripped during the fault
Bit TM: the disturbance data are currently being transmitted
Bit TEST: the disturbance data have been recorded during normal operation or
test mode.
Bit OTEV: the disturbance data recording has been initiated by another event than
start
The only information that is easily available is test-mode status. The other information
is always set (hard coded) to:
Another information element in ASDU23 is the FAN (fault number). According to the
standard this is a number that is incremented when a protection function takes action.
FAN is equal to disturbance number, which is incremented for each disturbance.
ASDU26 / ASDU31
When a disturbance has been selected by the master by sending ASDU24, the
protection equipment answers by sending ASDU26, which contains an information
element named NOF (number of grid faults). This number must indicate fault number
in the power system,that is, a fault in the power system with several trip and auto-
reclosing has the same NOF (while the FAN must be incremented). NOF is just as
FAN, equal to disturbance number.

The serial communication module (SLM) is used for SPA/IEC 60870-5-103/DNP and
LON communication. This module is a mezzanine module, and can be placed on the
Analog/Digital conversion module (ADM). The serial communication module can
have connectors for two plastic fibre cables (snap-in) or two glass fibre cables (ST,
bayonet) or a combination of plastic and glass fibre. Three different types are available
depending on type of fibre.
The incoming optical fibre is connected to the RX receiver input, and the outgoing
optical fibre to the TX transmitter output. When the fibre optic cables are laid out, pay
special attention to the instructions concerning the handling and connection of the
optical fibres. The module is identified with a number on the label on the module.
19.9.1 Functionality
GOOSE communication can be used for exchanging information between IEDs via
the IEC 61850-8-1 station communication bus. This is typically used for sending
apparatus position indications for interlocking or reservation signals for 1-of-n
control. GOOSE can also be used to exchange any boolean, integer, double point and
analog measured values between IEDs.

19.15.1 Functionality
The IED provides two function blocks enabling several IEDs to send and receive
signals via the interbay bus. The sending function block, MULTICMDSND, takes 16
binary inputs. LON enables these to be transmitted to the equivalent receiving
function block, MULTICMDRCV, which has 16 binary outputs.
19.15.2 Design
19.15.2.1 General
The common behavior for all 16 outputs of the MULTICMDRCV is set to either of
two modes: Steady or Pulse.
1 = Steady: This mode simply forwards the received signals to the binary outputs.
2 = Pulse: When a received signal transitions from 0 (zero) to 1 (one), a pulse with
a duration of exactly one execution cycle is triggered on the corresponding binary
output. This means that no connected function block may have a cycle time that
is higher than the execution cycle time of the particular MULTICMDRCV
instance.

The MULTICMDRCV function block has 16 binary outputs, all controlled through
the command block of one or many MULTICMDSND function blocks. There are 60
instances of the MULTICMDRCV where the first 12 are fast (8 ms), and the others are
slow (100 ms). Additionally, the MULTICMDRCV has a supervision function, which
sets the output connector "VALID" to 0 (zero) if its block does not receive any data
within the time defined by tMaxCycleTime.

20.1.2 Functionality
The remote end data communication is used either for the transmission of current
values with a maximum of 8 binary signals in the line differential protection IED, or
for the transmission of only binary signals (up to 192) in the other IEDs. The binary
signals are freely configurable and can, thus, be used for any purpose, for example,
communication scheme related signals, transfer trip and/or other binary signals
between IEDs.
Communication between two IEDs requires that each IED is equipped with a Line
Data Communication Module (LCDM). The LDCMs then act as interfaces to a 64
kbit/s communication channel for duplex communication between the IEDs.
The IED can be equipped with up to two short range, medium range or long range
LDCMs.

flag flag
IEC01000134 V1 EN
The start and stop flags are the 0111 1110 sequence (7E hexadecimal), defined in the
HDLC standard. The CRC is designed according to the standard CRC16 definition.
The optional address field in the HDLC frame is not used instead a separate addressing
is included in the data field.
The address field is used for checking that the received message originates from the
correct equipment. There is always a risk that multiplexers occasionally mix the
messages up. Each terminal in the system is given a number. The terminal is then
programmed to accept messages from a specific terminal number. If the CRC function
detects a faulty message, the message is thrown away and not used in the evaluation.
When the communication is used for line differential purpose, the transmitted data
consists of three currents, clock information, trip-, block- and alarm-signals and eight
binary signals which can be used for any purpose. The three currents are represented
as sampled values.
When the communication is used exclusively for binary signals, the full data capacity
of the communication channel is used for the binary signal purpose which gives the
capacity of 192 signals.

To safeguard the interests of our customers, both the IED and the tools that are
accessing the IED are protected, by means of authorization handling. The
authorization handling of the IED and the PCM600 is implemented at both access
points to the IED:
The IED users can be created, deleted and edited with PCM600 IED user management
tool.
IEC12000202-2-en.vsd
IEC12000202 V2 EN
Ensure that the user logged on to the IED has the access required when
writing particular data to the IED from PCM600.
The IED users can be created, deleted and edited only with the IED User Management
within PCM600. The user can only LogOn or LogOff on the local HMI on the IED,
there are no users, groups or functions that can be defined on local HMI.
At delivery the default user is the SuperUser. No Log on is required to operate the IED
until a user has been created with the IED User Management..
Once a user is created and downloaded to the IED, that user can perform a Log on,
introducing the password assigned in the tool.
If there is no user created, an attempt to log on will display a message box: No user
defined!
If one user leaves the IED without logging off, then after the timeout (set in Main
menu/Settings/General Settings/HMI/Screen/Display Timeout) elapses, the IED
returns to Guest state, when only reading is possible. The display time out is set to 60
minutes at delivery.
If there are one or more users created with the IED User Management and downloaded
into the IED, then, when a user intentionally attempts a Log on or when the user
attempts to perform an operation that is password protected, the Log on window will
appear.
The cursor is focused on the User identity field, so upon pressing the key, the user
can change the user name, by browsing the list of users, with the up and down
arrows. After choosing the right user name, the user must press the E key again.
When it comes to password, upon pressing the key, the following character will
show up: $. After all the letters are introduced (passwords are case sensitive) choose
OK and press the key again.
If everything is alright at a voluntary Log on, the local HMI returns to the
Authorization screen. If the Log on is OK, when required to change for example a
password protected setting, the local HMI returns to the actual setting folder. If the
Log on has failed, then the Log on window opens again, until either the user makes it
right or presses Cancel.
The users, their roles and rights are created, deleted and edited only in the Central
Account Management server (SDM600). However, the user rights can be edited in the
IED by using the PCM600 user tool.
One user can have one or several user roles. By default, the users in Table 725 are
created in the IED, and when creating new users in the SDM600 server, the predefined
roles from Table 963 can be used.
At delivery, the IED user has full access as SuperUser when using the
LHMI and as Administrator when using FTP or PCM600 until Central
Account Management is activated.
The PCM600 tool caches the login credentials after successful login
for 15 minutes. During that time no more login will be necessary.
Note that not all users in the SDM600 server are part of the replica. There might be
users that are not assigned to any replication group. IED only replicates those users
which are part of replication group configured in the IED.
This replication can be disabled using PCM600 by the security administrator, which
means that the IED will forward login requests to the SDM600 for authorization and
in case of problems with the network users will not be able to log in to the IED.
All communication between the central management and the IEDs is protected using
secure communication. Customers using SDM600 are required to generate and
distribute certificates during the engineering process of the substation. These
certificates ensure mutual trust between IED and for example SDM600, FTP,
PCM600 and other system.

Some output signals are available from the INTERRSIG function block. The signals
from this function block are sent as events via IEC61850 to the station level of the
control system. These signals can also be connected to binary outputs for signalization
via output relays or they can be used as conditions for other functions if required/
desired.
Individual error signals from I/O modules can be obtained from respective module in
the Signal Matrix tool. Error signals from time synchronization can be obtained from
the INTERRSIG function block via two outputs TSYNCERR and RTCERR .
Self supervision provides several status signals that give information about the
internal status of the IED. For this reason they are also called internal signals. These
internal signals , available on local HMI under Main menu/Diagnostics/IED status/
General, can be divided into two groups.
Standard signals are always presented in the IED, see table 969.
Hardware dependent internal signals are collected depending on the hardware
configuration, see table 970.
The analog signals to the A/D converter is internally distributed into two different
converters, one with low amplification and one with high amplification.
When the signal is within measurable limits on both channels, a direct comparison of
the two A/D converter channels can be performed. If the validation fails, the CPU will
be informed and an alarm will be given for A/D converter failure.
21.6.1 Functionality
The time synchronization function is used to select a common source of absolute time
for the synchronization of the IED when it is a part of a protection system. This makes
it possible to compare events and disturbance data between all IEDs within a station
automation system and in between sub-stations. A common source shall be used for
IED and merging unit when IEC 61850-9-2LE process bus communication is used.
21.6.2 Settings
There are two groups of parameter settings related to time:
System time
Synchronization
The System time group relates to setting the on/off and start/end of the Daylight
Saving Time (DST) for the local time zone in relation to Coordinated Universal Time
(UTC). The Synchronization group relates to selecting the coarse and fine
synchronization sources. As well as defining the synchronization master and accuracy
levels specifically for IEC61850-9-2.
All the settings and parameters related to time are available via Local HMI under
Main menu/Configuration/Time/System time and via PCM600 under IED
Configuration/Time.

Time definitions
The error of a clock is the difference between the actual time of the clock, and the time
the clock is intended to have. Clock accuracy indicates the increase in error, that is, the
time gained or lost by the clock. A disciplined clock knows its own faults and tries to
compensate for them.

*IEC 61850-9-2
IEC08000287-2-en.vsd
IEC08000287 V2 EN
All time tagging is performed by the software clock. When, for example, a status
signal is changed in the protection system of a function based on the free running
hardware clock, the event is time tagged by the software clock when it reaches the
event recorder. The hardware clock can thus run independently.
The echo mode of differential protection is based on the hardware clock. Thus, there
is no need to synchronize the hardware clock and the software clock.
The synchronization of the hardware clock to the software clock is necessary only
when GPS or IRIG B 00X with optical fibre, IEEE 1344 is used for differential
protection. The two clock systems are synchronized by a special clock
synchronization unit with two modes, fast and slow. A special feature, an automatic
fast clock time regulator is used. The automatic fast mode makes the synchronization
time as short as possible during start-up or at interruptions/disturbances in the GPS
timing. The fast and slow settings are also available on the local HMI.
The hardware and software clocks are not synchronized if a GPS clock is used.
When the time difference is >16s, the differential function is blocked and the time
regulator for the hardware clock automatically uses a fast mode to synchronize the
clock systems. The time adjustment is made with an exponential function, that is, with
big time adjustment steps in the beginning, and then smaller steps until a time
deviation between the GPS time and the differential time system of <16s has been
reached. The differential function is then enabled and the synchronization remains in
fast mode or switches to slow mode depending on the setting.
Synchronization principle
From a general point of view synchronization can be seen as a hierarchical structure.
A function is synchronized from a higher level and provides synchronization to lower
levels.

IEC09000342-1-en.vsd
IEC09000342 V1 EN
The IED has a built-in real-time clock (RTC) with a resolution of one second. The
clock has a built-in calendar that handles leap years through 2038.
synchronization, which means, for adjusting the internal clock to obtain zero
offset at the next coming time message.
If the synchronization message has a large offset compared to the other messages,
a spike-filter in the IED removes this time-message.
If the synchronization message has a large offset and the following message also
has a large offset, the spike filter does not act and the offset in the synchronization
message is compared to a threshold that defaults to 500 milliseconds. If the offset
is more than the threshold, the clock jumps a whole number of seconds so the
remaining offset is less than 500ms. The remaining offset is then slowly adjusted
with 1000 ppm until the offset is removed. With an adjustment of 1000ppm it
takes 500 seconds to remove an offset of 500 milliseconds.
Synchronization messages configured as coarse are only used for initial setting of the
time. After this has been done, the messages are checked against the internal time and
only an offset of more than 10 seconds resets the time.
Rate accuracy
The Rate accuracy is the accuracy of the internal clock while the external time signal
is lost (e.g. GPS lost). In the IED, the rate accuracy at cold start is 100 ppm but if the
IED is synchronized for a while, the rate accuracy is approximately 1 ppm if the
surrounding temperature is constant. It can take up to one hour after a cold start of the
IED to reach to a stable rate due to the normal warming-up procedure of the IED.
SNTP synchronization provides an accuracy that gives +/- 1 ms accuracy for binary
inputs. The IED itself can be set as an SNTP-time server.
SNTP provides complete time-information and can be used as both fine and coarse
time synch source. However SNTP shall normally be used as fine synch only. The
only reason to use SNTP as coarse synch is in combination with PPS as fine source.
The combination SNTP as both fine and coarse source shall not be used.
Coarse message is sent every minute and comprises complete date and time, that
is, year, month, day, hours, minutes, seconds and milliseconds.
Fine message is sent every second and comprises only seconds and milliseconds.
The minute pulse is connected to any channel on any Binary Input Module in the IED.
The electrical characteristic is thereby the same as for any other binary input.
The definition of a minute pulse is that it occurs one minute after the last pulse. As only
the flanks are detected, the flank of the minute pulse shall occur one minute after the
last flank.
Pulse data:
Deviations in the period time (a) larger than 50 ms will cause TSYNCERR.
en05000251.vsd
IEC05000251 V1 EN
The default time-out-time for a minute pulse is two minutes, and if no valid minute
pulse is received within two minutes a SYNCERR will be given.
If contact bounce occurs, only the first pulse will be detected as a minute pulse. The
next minute pulse will be registered first 60 s - 50 ms after the last contact bounce.
If the minute pulses are perfect, for example, it is exactly 60 seconds between the
pulses, contact bounces might occur 49 ms after the actual minute pulse without
effecting the system. If contact bounce occurs more than 50 ms, for example, it is less
than 59950 ms between the two most adjacent positive (or negative) flanks, the minute
pulse will not be accepted.
fourth pulse will occur on a minute border. After the first three minutes, the time in the
IED will be good if the coarse time is set properly via the HMI or if the RTC backup
still keeps the time since last up-time. If the minute pulse is removed, for example, for
an hour, the internal time will drift by maximum the error rate in the internal clock. If
the minute pulse is returned, the first pulse is automatically rejected. The second pulse
will possibly be rejected due to the spike filter. The third pulse will set the time if the
time offset is more than 500 ms or adjust the time if the time offset is small enough.
If the time is set, the application will be brought to a safe state before the time is set.
If the time is adjusted, the time will reach its destination within one minute.
To receive IRIG-B there are two connectors in the IRIG-B module, one galvanic BNC
connector and one optical ST connector. IRIG-B 12x messages can be supplied via the
galvanic interface, and IRIG-B 00x messages can be supplied via either the galvanic
interface or the optical interface, where x (in 00x or 12x) means a number in the range
of 0-7.
00 means that a base band is used, and the information can be fed into the IRIG-B
module via the BNC contact or an optical fiber. 12 means that a 1 kHz modulation
is used. In this case the information must go into the module via the BNC connector.
The IRIG-B module also takes care of IEEE1344 messages that are sent by IRIG-B
clocks, as IRIG-B previously did not have any year information. IEEE1344 is
compatible with IRIG-B and contains year information and information of the time-
zone.
21.7.1 Functionality
Use the six different groups of settings to optimize the IED operation for different
power system conditions. Creating and switching between fine-tuned setting sets,

A setting group is selected by using the local HMI, from a front connected personal
computer, remotely from the station control or station monitoring system or by
activating the corresponding input to the ActiveGroup function block.
Each input of the function block can be configured to connect to any of the binary
inputs in the IED. To do this PCM600 must be used.
The external control signals are used for activating a suitable setting group when
adaptive functionality is necessary. Input signals that should activate setting groups
must be either permanent or a pulse exceeding 400 ms.
More than one input may be activated at the same time. In such cases the lower order
setting group has priority. This means that if for example both group four and group
two are set to be activated, group two will be the one activated.
Every time a setting is changed, the output signal SETCHGD is sending a pulse.
Activating or deactivating test mode is made by changing a parameter, consequently
this will also cause a pulse on the SETCHGD output.
The parameter MaxNoSetGrp defines the maximum number of setting groups in use
to switch between.
The output REMSETEN indicates whether setting changes over IEC61850 are enabled
or not. Per default, this is not enabled, which results in REMSETEN being at a logical
low level. If setting changes via IEC61850 are enabled, then REMSETEN will be a
logical high. The setting changes over IEC61850 is enabled with the setting
EnableSettings in the IEC61850-8-1 configuration under Main menu/
Configuration/Communication/Station communication/IEC61850-8-1/
IEC61850-8-1. Please refer to documentation for IEC61850 for further details.
Switching can only be done within that number of groups. The number of setting
groups selected to be used will be filtered so only the setting groups used will be

21.9.1 Functionality
When entering IED test mode there is an option to block all functions. Active test
mode is indicated by a flashing yellow Start LED on the LHMI. After that, it is
possible to unblock arbitrarily selected functions from the LHMI to perform required
tests.
When leaving TESTMODE, all blockings are removed (except for functions that have
their block input active), and the IED resumes normal operation. However, if during
TESTMODE operation, power is removed and later restored, the IED will remain in
TESTMODE with the same protection functions blocked or unblocked as before the
power was removed. All testing will be done with actually set and configured values
within the IED. No settings will be changed, thus mistakes are avoided.
Forcing of binary input and output signals is only possible when the IED is in IED test
mode.

is activated. The outputs of the function block TESTMODE shows the cause of the
Test mode: being in On state. If the input from the configuration (OUTPUT signal
is activated) or setting from local HMI (SETTING signal is activated).
While the IED is in test mode, the yellow Start LED will flash and all functions can be
blocked depending on the configuration of the testmode component. Any function can
be unblocked individually regarding functionality and event signalling.
The functions will be blocked next time if the testmode component is configured to
block components upon puting the IED into testmode.
The blocking of a function concerns all output signals from the actual function, so no
outputs will be activated.
If the IED is restarted while set to IED testmode by a binary input all
functions will be temporarily unblocked during startup, which might
cause unwanted operations.
Each of the functions includes the blocking from the TESTMODE function block.
The functions can also be blocked from sending events over IEC 61850 station bus to
prevent filling station and SCADA databases with test events, for example during a
commissioning or maintenance test.

21.15.1 Functionality
Signal matrix for analog inputs (SMAI), also known as the preprocessor function
block, analyses the connected four analog signals (three phases and neutral) and
calculates all relevant information from them like the phasor magnitude, phase angle,
frequency, true RMS value, harmonics, sequence components and so on. This
information is then used by the respective functions connected to this SMAI block in
ACT (for example protection, measurement or monitoring functions).

21.15.4 Settings
System phase rotation and frequency are defined using the PhaseRotation and
Frequency settings in the primary system values PRIMVAL function. Logic 1 in the
REVROT input to the SMAI function means that the phase rotation is changed relative
to the set PhaseRotation in PRIMVAL.
The output signal AI1 to AI4 are single phase outputs which directly represent the four
inputs GRPxL1, GRPxL2, GRPxL3 and GRPxN, x=1-12. AIN is always calculated
residual sum from the first three inputs. A3P is grouped, three-phase information
containing all relevant information about four connected inputs. Note that all other
functions, with a few exceptions, use this output in configuration. Note that the SMAI
function will always calculate the residual sum of current/voltage if the input GRPxN
is not connected in SMT. Applications with a few exceptions shall always be
connected to AI3P.
The SMAI function includes a functionality based on the level of positive sequence
voltage, MinValFreqMeas, to validate if the frequency measurement is valid or not. If
the positive sequence voltage is lower than MinValFreqMeas, the function freezes the
frequency output value for 500 ms and after that the frequency output is set to the
nominal value. A signal is available for the SMAI function to prevent operation due
to non-valid frequency values. MinValFreqMeas is set as % of UBase/3
If only one phase-phase voltage is available and SMAI setting ConnectionType is Ph-
Ph, the user is advised to connect two (not three) of the inputs GRPxL1, GRPxL2 and
GRPxL3 to the same voltage input as shown in figure 624 to make SMAI calculate a
positive sequence voltage.

21.17.2 Functionality
Global base values function (GBASVAL) is used to provide global values, common
for all applicable functions within the IED. One set of global values consists of values
for current, voltage and apparent power and it is possible to have twelve different sets.
This is an advantage since all applicable functions in the IED use a single source of
base values. This facilitates consistency throughout the IED and also facilitates a
single point for updating values when necessary.
Each applicable function in the IED has a parameter, GlobalBaseSel, defining one out
of the twelve sets of GBASVAL functions.

Module Description
Power supply module (PSM) Including a regulated DC/DC converter that
supplies auxiliary voltage to all static circuits.
22.2.2.1 Introduction
The Numeric processing module (NUM), is a CPU-module that handles all protection
functions and logic.
For communication with high speed modules, e.g. analog input modules and high
speed serial interfaces, the NUM is equipped with a Compact PCI bus. The NUM is
the compact PCI system card i.e. it controls bus mastering, clock distribution and
receives interrupts.
22.2.2.2 Functionality
The NUM has one PMC slot (32-bit IEEE P1386.1 compliant) and two PC-MIP slots
onto which mezzanine cards such as SLM or LDCM can be mounted.
To reduce bus loading of the compact PCI bus in the backplane the NUM has one
internal PCI bus for internal resources and the PMC/PC-MIP slots and external PCI
accesses through the backplane are buffered in a PCI/PCI bridge.
The application code and configuration data are stored in flash memory using a flash
file system.
The NUM is equipped with a real time clock. It uses a capacitor for power backup of
the real time clock.
No forced cooling is used on this standard module because of the low power
dissipation.

22.2.7.1 Introduction
The binary input module has 16 optically isolated inputs and is available in two
versions, one standard and one with enhanced pulse counting capabilities on the inputs
to be used with the pulse counter function. The binary inputs are freely programmable
and can be used for the input of logical signals to any of the functions. They can also
be included in the disturbance recording and event-recording functions. This enables
extensive monitoring and evaluation of operation of the IED and for all associated
electrical circuits.
22.2.7.2 Design
The Binary input module contains 16 optical isolated binary inputs. The voltage level
of the binary input is selected at order.
For configuration of the input signals, refer to section "Signal matrix for binary inputs
SMBI".
Well defined input high and input low voltages ensure normal operation at battery
supply earth faults, see figure 636 The figure shows the typical operating
characteristics of the binary inputs of the four voltage levels.
I/O events are time stamped locally on each module for minimum time deviance and

22.2.8.1 Introduction
The binary output module has 24 independent output relays and is used for trip output
or any signaling purpose.
22.2.8.2 Design
The binary output module (BOM) has 24 software supervised output relays. Each pair
of relays have a common power source input to the contacts, see figure 640. This
should be considered when connecting the wiring to the connection terminal on the
back of the IED.
The high closing and carrying current capability allows connection directly to breaker
trip and closing coils. If breaking capability is required to manage fail of the breaker
auxiliary contacts normally breaking the trip coil current, a parallel reinforcement is
required.
For configuration of the output signals, refer to section "Signal matrix for binary
outputs SMBO".

22.2.10.1 Introduction
The binary input/output module is used when only a few input and output channels are
needed. The ten standard output channels are used for trip output or any signaling
purpose. The two high speed signal output channels are used for applications where
short operating time is essential. Eight optically isolated binary inputs cater for
required binary input information.
22.2.10.2 Design
The binary input/output module is available in two basic versions, one with
unprotected contacts and one with MOV (Metal Oxide Varistor) protected contacts.
Inputs are designed to allow oxide burn-off from connected contacts, and increase the
disturbance immunity during normal protection operate times. This is achieved with
a high peak inrush current while having a low steady-state current, see figure 637.
Inputs are debounced by software.
Well defined input high and input low voltages ensures normal operation at battery
supply earth faults, see figure 636.
I/O events are time stamped locally on each module for minimum time deviance and
stored by the event recorder if present.
The binary I/O module, IOM, has eight optically isolated inputs and ten output relays.
One of the outputs has a change-over contact. The nine remaining output contacts are
connected in two groups. One group has five contacts with a common and the other
group has four contacts with a common, to be used as single-output channels, see
figure 644.
The binary I/O module also has two high speed output channels where a reed relay is
connected in parallel to the standard output relay.
For configuration of the input and output signals, refer to sections "Signal matrix for
binary inputs SMBI" and "Signal matrix for binary outputs SMBO".

Figure 644: Binary in/out module (IOM), input contacts named XA corresponds to
rear position X31, X41, and so on, and output contacts named XB to
rear position X32, X42, and so on
The binary input/output module version with MOV protected contacts can for
example be used in applications where breaking high inductive load would cause
excessive wear of the contacts.
The test voltage across open contact is lower for this version of the
binary input/output module.

The Milliampere Input Module has six independent analog channels with separated
protection, filtering, reference, A/D-conversion and optical isolation for each input
making them galvanically isolated from each other and from the rest of the module.
For configuration of the input signals, refer to section "Signal matrix for mA inputs
SMMI".
The analog inputs measure DC current in the range of +/- 20 mA. The A/D converter
has a digital filter with selectable filter frequency. All inputs are calibrated separately
The filter parameters and the calibration factors are stored in a non-volatile memory
on the module.
The calibration circuitry monitors the module temperature and starts an automatical
calibration procedure if the temperature drift is outside the allowed range.

22.2.12.1 Introduction
The serial and LON communication module (SLM) is used for SPA, IEC
60870-5-103, DNP3 and LON communication. The module has two optical
communication ports for plastic/plastic, plastic/glass or glass/glass. One port is used
for serial communication (SPA, IEC 60870-5-103 and DNP3 port) and one port is
dedicated for LON communication.
22.2.12.2 Design
The SLM is a PMC card and it is factory mounted as a mezzanine card on the NUM
module. Three variants of the SLM are available with different combinations of
optical fiber connectors, see figure 647. The plastic fiber connectors are of snap-in
type and the glass fiber connectors are of ST type.

22.2.13.1 Introduction
The Galvanic RS485 communication module (RS485) is used for DNP3.0 and IEC
60870-5-103 communication. The module has one RS485 communication port. The
RS485 is a balanced serial communication that can be used either in 2-wire or 4-wire
connections. A 2-wire connection uses the same signal for RX and TX and is a
multidrop communication with no dedicated Master or slave. This variant requires
however a control of the output. The 4-wire connection has separated signals for RX
and TX multidrop communication with a dedicated Master and the rest are slaves. No
special control signal is needed in this case.

The RS485 is a PMC card and it is factory mounted as a mezzanine card on the NUM
module.

22.2.14.1 Introduction
The optical fast-ethernet module is used for fast and interference-free communication
of synchrophasor data over IEEE C37.118 and/or IEEE 1344 protocols. It is also used
to connect an IED to the communication buses (like the station bus) that use the IEC
61850-8-1 protocol (OEM rear port A, B). The process bus use the IEC 61850-9-2LE
protocol (OEM rear port C, D). The module has one or two optical ports with ST
connectors.
22.2.14.2 Functionality
The Optical Ethernet module (OEM) is used when communication systems according
to IEC6185081 have been implemented.
22.2.14.3 Design
The Optical Ethernet module (OEM) is a PMC card and mounted as a mezzanine card
on the ADM. The OEM is a 100BASE-FXmodule and available as a single channel or
double channel unit.

22.2.15.1 Introduction
The line data communication module (LDCM) is used for communication between
the IEDs situated at distances <110 km or from the IED to optical to electrical
converter with G.703 interface located on a distances <3 km away. The LDCM
module sends and rereceives data, to and from another LDCM module. The IEEE/
ANSI standard format is used.
The line data communication module is used for binary signal transfer. The module
has one optical port with ST connectors see figure 650.
Alternative cards for Long range (1550 nm single mode), Medium range (1310 nm
single mode) and Short range (850 nm multi mode) are available.

The galvanic X.21 line data communication module is used for connection to
telecommunication equipment, for example leased telephone lines. The module
supports 64 kbit/s data communication between IEDs.

Earthing
Three different kinds of earthing principles can be set (used for fault tracing):
1. Direct earth - The normal earthing is direct earth, connect terminal 2 directly to
the chassis.
2. No earth - Leave the connector without any connection.
3. Soft earth - Connect soft earth pin (3), see figure 653
X.21 connector
Table 1060: Pinout for the X.21 communication connector
22.2.16.3 Functionality
The data format is HDLC. The speed for the transmission of the messages used is 64
kbit/s.
A maximum of 100 meter of cable is allowed to ensure the quality of the data
(deviation from X.21 standard cable length).
Synchronization
The X.21 LDCM works like a DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) and is normally
expecting synchronization from the DCE (Data Circuit Equipment). The transmission
is normally synchronized to the Signal Element Timing signal when a device is a DTE.
When the signal is high it will read the data at the receiver and when the signal is low
it will write data to the transmitter. This behaviour can be inverted in the control
register.
Normally an external multiplexer is used and it should act like the master.
When two X.21 LDCM is directly communicating with each other one must be set as
a master generating the synchronization for the other (the slave). The DTE Signal
Element Timing is created from the internal 64 kHz clock.
22.2.17.1 Introduction
This module includes a GPS receiver used for time synchronization. The GPS has one
SMA contact for connection to an antenna. It also includes an optical PPS ST-
connector output.
22.2.17.2 Design
The GTM is a PCMIP-format card and is placed only on one of the ADM slots. The
antenna input connector is shielded and directly attached to a grounded plate to
eliminate the risk of electromagnetic interference.
All communication between the GCM and the NUM is via the PCI-bus. PPS time data
is sent from the GCM to the rest of the time system to provide 1s accuracy at
sampling level. An optical transmitter for PPS output is available for time
synchronization of another relay with an optical PPS input. The PPS output connector
is of ST-type for multimode fibre and could be used up to 1 km.
22.2.18.1 Introduction
In order to receive GPS signals from the satellites orbiting the earth a GPS antenna
with applicable cable must be used.

Antenna cable
Use a 50 ohm coaxial cable with a male TNC connector in the antenna end and a male
SMA connector in the receiver end to connect the antenna to GTM. Choose cable type
and length so that the total attenuation is max. 26 dB at 1.6 GHz.
Make sure that the antenna cable is not charged when connected to the
antenna or to the receiver. Short-circuit the end of the antenna cable
with some metal device, when first connected to the antenna. When
the antenna is connected to the cable, connect the cable to the receiver.
The IED must be switched off when the antenna cable is connected.
22.2.19.1 Introduction

The inverse time characteristic makes it possible to minimize the fault clearance time
and still assure the selectivity between protections.
To assure selectivity between protections there must be a time margin between the
operation time of the protections. This required time margin is dependent of following
factors, in a simple case with two protections in series:
A1 B1
Feeder
I> I>
Time axis
en05000132.vsd
IEC05000132 V1 EN
where:
t=0 is The fault occurs
t=t1 is Protection B1 trips
In the case protection B1 shall operate without any intentional delay (instantaneous).
When the fault occurs the protections start to detect the fault current. After the time t1
the protection B1 send a trip signal to the circuit breaker. The protection A1 starts its
delay timer at the same time, with some deviation in time due to differences between
the two protections. There is a possibility that A1 will start before the trip is sent to the
B1 circuit breaker. At the time t2 the circuit breaker B1 has opened its primary contacts
and thus the fault current is interrupted. The breaker time (t2 - t1) can differ between
different faults. The maximum opening time can be given from manuals and test
protocols. Still at t2 the timer of protection A1 is active. At time t3 the protection A1
is reset, that is the timer is stopped.
In most applications it is required that the times shall reset as fast as possible when the
current fed to the protection drops below the set current level, the reset time shall be
minimized. In some applications it is however beneficial to have some type of delayed
reset time of the overcurrent function. This can be the case in the following
applications:
If there is a risk of intermittent faults. If the current IED, close to the faults, starts
and resets there is a risk of unselective trip from other protections in the system.
Delayed resetting could give accelerated fault clearance in case of automatic
reclosing to a permanent fault.
Overcurrent protection functions are sometimes used as release criterion for other
protection functions. It can often be valuable to have a reset delay to assure the
release function.
If current in any phase exceeds the set start current value (here internal signal
startValue), a timer, according to the selected operating mode, is started. The
component always uses the maximum of the three phase current values as the current
level used in timing calculations.
In case of definite time-lag mode the timer will run constantly until the time is reached
or until the current drops below the reset value (start value minus the hysteresis) and
the reset time has elapsed.
For definite time delay curve ANSI/IEEE Definite time or IEC Definite time are
chosen.
The general expression for inverse time curves is according to equation 213.

EQUATION1189 V1 EN (Equation 213)
where:

i is the measured current.
For inverse time characteristics a time will be initiated when the current reaches the set
start level. From the general expression of the characteristic the following can be seen:

For inverse time operation, the inverse time characteristic is selectable. Both the IEC
and ANSI/IEEE standardized inverse time characteristics are supported.
For the IEC curves there is also a setting of the minimum time-lag of operation, see
figure 679.

In order to fully comply with IEC curves definition setting parameter tMin shall be set
to the value which is equal to the operating time of the selected IEC inverse time curve
for measured current of twenty times the set current start value. Note that the operating
time value is dependent on the selected setting value for time multiplier k.
In addition to the ANSI and IEC standardized characteristics, there are also two
additional inverse curves available; the RI curve and the RD curve.
The RI inverse time curve emulates the characteristic of the electromechanical ASEA
relay RI. The curve is described by equation 218:

where:

The RD inverse curve gives a logarithmic delay, as used in the Combiflex protection
RXIDG. The curve enables a high degree of selectivity required for sensitive residual
earth-fault current protection, with ability to detect high-resistive earth faults. The
curve is described by equation 219:

EQUATION1195 V1 EN (Equation 219)
where:

curve according to the general equation 220.

Also the reset time of the delayed function can be controlled. There is the possibility
to choose between three different reset time-lags.
Instantaneous Reset
IEC Reset
ANSI Reset.
If instantaneous reset is chosen the timer will be reset directly when the current drops
below the set start current level minus the hysteresis.
If IEC reset is chosen the timer will be reset after a set constant time when the current

If ANSI reset time is chosen the reset time will be dependent of the current after fault
clearance (when the current drops below the start current level minus the hysteresis).
The timer will reset according to equation 221.

The set value tr is the reset time in case of zero current after fault clearance.
For the definite time delay characteristics the possible reset time settings are
instantaneous and IEC constant time reset.
For ANSI inverse time delay characteristics all three types of reset time characteristics
are available; instantaneous, IEC constant time reset and ANSI current dependent
reset time.
For IEC inverse time delay characteristics the possible delay time settings are
instantaneous and IEC set constant time reset).
For the programmable inverse time delay characteristics all three types of reset time
characteristics are available; instantaneous, IEC constant time reset and ANSI current
dependent reset time. If the current dependent type is used settings pr, tr and cr must
be given, see equation 222:
