1. REQUIREMENTS PRIOR TO COMMISSIONING

BEFORE COMMISSIONING THE RELAY, THE SAFETY SECTION OF THE


MANUAL MUST BE READ.

When commissioning the MiCOM relay for the first time, 1/4 hour should be allowed
to become familiar with the menu (MENU OF THE HMI section).
With a laptop computer and ALSTOM setting software, the user can configure the
MiCOM P220 relay and save this setting on to a floppy disk. This file can
subsequently be downloaded via the RS232 front port or via the RS 485 link on the
rear of the MiCOM relays.

2. EQUIPMENT REQUIRED FOR TESTING


2.1 Important notes
2.1.1 Warning concerning the test methodology
The test methodology described in this document tries as much as possible not to
modify the settings of the MiCOM P220 relay once these have been set so as to help
the tests and avoid errors.
A reference commissioning configuration file (MiCOM P220) is provided at the end of
this section.
All the tests of the MiCOM P220 relays are carried out by injecting currents to the
secondary of the earth and/or phase CTs using appropriate injection test sets
provided for this purpose.
2.1.2 Injection test boxes
For reasons of convenience (weight, spatial requirement, transportation), a single-
phased injection test set is more suitable for the tests and is able to perform all test
types relating to the MiCOM P220 relay.
Thus, the following descriptions indicate how to conduct the tests with a single-phase
injection test set.
However, for certain tests, the three-phase wiring diagrams are easier to understand
and, in this case, the description is also given in three-phase format.
Single-phase injection test set
1 current (0 to 50 A), timer (precision 1 ms).
Three-phase injection test set
3 currents (0 to 50 A), timer (precision 1 ms).
2.1.3 Additional test equipments
2 multimeters (precision 1%),
1 clip-on ammeter to measure the currents exceeding 10 A (precision 2%),
Test plugs and wires to carry out injections to the CTs secondary
(dimensions according to the currents injected).

CHAPTER 8.2-A Commissioning
Page 4/20 MiCOM P220

2.1.4 Communication
For all tests, the records can be made by using either the RS 485 rear port or the
RS232 front port of the relay.
2.2 Commissioning test records
Commissioning test records are available in the end of the Commissioning Chapter.
The presentation of the Commissioning test records follows the sequence of the tests
of this chapter.
The contents of these Commissioning test records enable you to log:
The name of the relay, station and circuit/plant
The characteristics of the MiCOM P220 relay
The various settings
The results of the tests

3. PRODUCT VERIFICATION TESTS


3.1 Allocation of terminals
It is necessary to consult the appropriate wiring diagram of the MiCOM P220 whilst
observing the various polarities and ground/earth connection.
3.2 Electrostatic discharge (ESD)
Before any handling of the module (active part of the relay), please refer to the
recommendations in the HANDLING AND SAFETY section.
3.3 Visual inspection
Carefully examine the relay to see if there has been any possible deterioration
following installation.
Check the serial number under the upper flap of the front panel. Also inspect the
stated nominal values and the model number.
Check if the external wiring corresponds to the appropriate relay diagram or the
assembly diagram.
When the relay is withdrawn from its case, use a continuity tester to check if the
current short-circuits (phases and earth CTs) between the terminals indicated on the
wiring diagram are closed.
3.4 Earthing
Check if the earth connection of the case situated above the rear terminal block is
used to connect the relay to a local earth bar. With several relays present, make sure
that the copper earth bar is properly installed for solidly connecting the earthing
terminals of each case.

3.5 Current transformers (CTs)


DANGER :
NEVER OPEN CIRCUIT THE SECONDARY CIRCUIT OF A CURRENT
TRANSFORMER SINCE THE HIGH VOLTAGE PRODUCED MAY BE
LETHAL AND COULD DAMAGE INSULATION.

3.5.1 Use of a Core Balance CT for earth faults.


If a core balance CT is used to detect earth faults, prior to any test, the user must
check the following points:
1. MV cable screens and core balance CT,
2. No current flow through the MV cables.
3.5.1.1 Cable shields and core balance CT
When mounting a core balance CT around electric cables, check the
connection to the earth of the cable shields. It is vital that the earth cable of
the shield moves in the opposite direction through the core balance CT. This
cancels the currents carried by the cable shields through the core balance CT.

3.5.1.2 Phase CTs orientation


It is necessary to check the orientation of the phase CTs by using the following
method for instance:
Have available a centre point analogue ammeter. Temporarily short-circuit the
battery by checking the diagram polarities (+ on P1 and on P2). A positive current
pulse traverses the milliammeter and the needle shall turn in a positive direction .
Proceed this test for each phase CT.

NOTE : De-magnetise the CT after the test. Inject a current starting from
zero and slowly cross the CT nominal value and then decrease
slowly to zero.
3.6 Auxiliary supply
Check the value of the auxiliary supply voltage (terminals 33 and 34). The value
measured shall be between 0.8 and 1.2 times the auxiliary supply nominal voltage
indicated on the MiCOM P220 front panel (under the upper flap).

4. COMMISSIONING
The various operations described in this section are not exhaustive, but combine
functions of MiCOM P220 relay which able to confirm that the relay is operational.
The use of appropriate ALSTOM T&D P&C setting software connected to either the
RS485 rear port or the RS232 front is not obligatory. The various indications
associated with each commissioning module are described for the MiCOM P220
front panel display (LCD and LEDs).
Commissioning covers the following points:
1. Input of settings,
2. Validation of measurements,
3. Validation of the thermal replica : I>, ALARM, FORBID START, Te1, Te2, Tr (49)
4. Validation of phase protection thresholds and time delays : I>>, tI>> (50/51)
5. Validation of earth protection thresholds and time delays : Io>, tIo>, Io>>, t
Io>> (50N/51N)
6. Validation of the Negative Sequence thresholds I2> and I2>> (46)
7. Validation of the automation function: latching of the relay outputs.
4.1 Settings
Input into the Commissioning Test Records file all of the settings of the MiCOM P220
relay.
4.2 Measurements
The MiCOM P220 relay measures phase and earth currents as a True RMS value up
to the 10th harmonic. The value(s) indicated take account of the phase and/or earth
CT ratio.
WARNING:
WARNING
MICOM P220 RELAY HAs 1 AND 5 AMP CURRENT INPUTS.
CHECK THAT THE injectED CURRENT IS compatible WITH THE SELECTED RANGE
Bring forward to the Setting record the values of phase and earth CTs.
Energise the MiCOM P220 relay.
Apply to each current input (as per wiring diagram) a current and check the
values on the LCD display.
Carry forward the results to the Commissioning test records (Applied values and
relay values displayed)
4.3 Thermal replica
Assign the thermal overload protective function to the trip output contact (relay RL1)
and assign the ALARM protective function to an auxiliary output contact, RL2 for
example. Set Ke equal to 3. In order to save time during testing, it is advisible to set
all the thermal time constants to 5 minutes.
TG 1.1550 Technical Guide
CHAPTER 8.2-A Commissioning
Page 8/20 MiCOM P220

The thermal operating time is given by the following:


t = T ln [((Ieq / I>)2 i) / [((Ieq / I>)2 thresh] = T ln [(K2 i) /(K2 thresh)]
where : t = operating time in seconds
T = thermal time constant value in seconds
Ieq = equivalent thermal current value
I> = thermal overload current threshold
K = Ieq / I> ratio
i = initial thermal state value ; in our case i equal to 0.
thresh = alarm threshold (settable) or tripping threshold (fixed value
equal to 1)
Testing the relay via single-phase injection, results in the relay seeing equal current
magnitudes for both positive and negative phase sequence quantities. Upon injection
of a single phase current value equal to Iinject , the relay will see current magnitudes
of Iinject/3 for both positive and negative phase sequences quantities. The equivalent
thermal current value Ieq calculated by the relay will be given by the following:
Ieq = (Ipositive2 + Ke . Inegative2 )0.5 = [(Iinject/3)2 + 3 . (Iinject/3)2]0,5 = 2/3 . Iinject
Therefore, for an inject current value (Iinject ) equal to 3/2 . K . I> , the thermal
equivalent current seen by the relay will be equal to K . I>.
NOTE : When the Ke factor is not set to 3, in order for the relay to see a
current equal to K. I>, the injected current value Iinject, ,will
need to be equal to :
[3/(1+Ke)0,5] . K . I>
4.3.1 Test wiring diagram
The following diagram should be followed to tests the thermal replica.
This diagram describes current injection on to the 5 Amp phase current inputs
(terminals 41-42, 43-44, 45-46). To carry out injection for the 1 Amp phase inputs,
perform the same test on the 1 Amp inputs (terminals 49-50, 51-52, 53-54).

4.3.4 Cooling down constant time Tr test.


1. The binary input No 1 (terminals 22-24) should be kept unenergise during this
test.
2. If required, inject a single phase current into the relay in order that the thermal
status value reaches 90%.
3. When the injected current is removed, record the value. Note this value i.
4. Wait several minutes in order to give time for the thermal status to reduce to
<60%. Record the value. Note this value f. Note also the time from when the
injected current was removed.
Checks :
1. Check the time from when the injected current was removed is approximately
equal to Tr . ln (i / f ) .
Caution : A time difference may exist between the theoretical time value
and the test time value. Considering a Tr value equal to 5 mn,
the time difference is typically 17 seconds. This time difference
can easily reach100 seconds for a Tr value equal to 60 mn.
Since cooling of the thermal replica follows a logarithmic rule
and the value is displayed in 2 digits, a change in 1% steps of
takes time. This time difference is due to the resolution of the
step display, not the a drift in the relay accuracy.
4.3.5 FORBID START threshold test.
1. Set the FORBID START order to an auxiliary output contact (RL3 for instance), not the
same than the one for which ALARM has been already assigned to.
2. The binary input No 1 (terminals 22-24) shall be kept not energise during this
test.
3. Within the PROCESS menu, reset the thermal status value to 0.
4. Inject a single-phase current equal to 3.9 times the I> threshold value into the
phase A relay current input, which corresponds to a K = 2.6 overload ratio. Let
the current injection during a time longer than Tr. ln [2.62/(2.62 FORBID
START)] , the value is greater than the FORBID START threshold.

Checks :
1. FORBIDDEN START alarm message on the LCD display.
2. Alarm LED flashes.
3. FORBIDDEN START LED flashes (if programmed).
4. Operation of the RL3 output contact (if FORBIDDEN START is assigned to RL3) after a
time equal to Tr. ln [2.62/(2.62 FORBID START)] .
Caution : The thermal base start inhibition is self-reset when the value
falls under the FORBID START threshold, so the checking of the above
item shall be done quickly after the current injection stoppage.

Reminder: the MiCOM P220 relay calculates the negative phase sequence
component using the formula:
I2 = 1/3 (Ia + a2 Ib + a Ic)
With a = cos (2/3) + j sin (2/3)
With a single phase injection such as the proposed figure 5: Ib = 0 and Ic = 0
And thus I2 = 1/3 Ia
In this case, the negative sequence current measured by the MiCOM P220 is equal to
one third of the injected current.

2. If the time delay tIo> is long, inject 0.95 x I threshold and check that there is no
tripping. Then inject 1.1 x I threshold and check the trip.
3. Gradually decreases the injected current and record the value of the drop out
I2> threshold.
Checks:
1. Alarm message on the LCD display.
2. Alarm LED flashes.
3. Trip LED flashes.
4. I2> threshold LED flashes (if programmed).
5. Trip output closes.
6. I2> threshold output closes (if programmed).
TI2> time delay check:
1. Apply a current on to the earth input and measure the time delay tI2> by pre-
setting the current above the I2> threshold (I injected > 2 x I threshold).
2. Apply a current on to the earth input and measure the time delay tI2> by pre-
setting the current above the I2> threshold (I injected > 10 x I threshold).
4.6.3 I2>> threshold
Values to be recorded:
1. I2>> threshold
2. Time delay tI2>>.

I2>> threshold check:


Inject a current equal to 2 x I threshold on to one of the phase current inputs. Repeat
the operation for various current values (n x I threshold with n ranging from 4 to 10,
for example). Check that the values measured correspond to the following formula:
Operating time t = 1.2/ (I2 / I threshold).
Checks:
1. Alarm message on the LCD display.
2. Alarm LED flashes.
3. Trip LED flashes.
4. I2>> threshold LED flashes (if programmed).
5. Trip output closes.
6. I2>> threshold output closes (if programmed).
TI2>> time delay check:
1. Apply a current onto the earth input and measure the time delay tI2>> by pre-
setting the current above the I2>> threshold (I injected > 2 x I threshold).
2. Apply a current onto the earth input and measure the time delay tI2>> by pre-
setting the current above the I2>> threshold (I injected > 10 x I threshold).
4.7 Automation functions
The MiCOM P220 relay has several automation functions (refer to the User Guide)
The use of these functions is optional.
4.7.1 Latching of relay outputs
All output relays of MiCOM P220 can be kept closed after the fault has disappeared
(Relay Latching function in the AUTOMATION menu).
The following test is suggested for the tIo>> threshold on the tripping output.
The other thresholds and output relays can be tested identically.
Set tIo>> threshold on the trip output with the relay latched. Leave the other
threshold tIo> not latched.
4.7.2 Wiring diagram
This wiring diagram makes it possible to conduct the test relating to the trip output
latch on the tIo>> threshold. The diagram describes current injection on to the 5
Amp earth current input (terminals 47-48). To carry out an injection on to the 1 Amp
earth input, perform the same tests on the earth 1 Amp input (terminals 55-56).

FIGURE 7 : LATCHING TEST SCHEME FOR tIO>>


Trip output latched check
1. Inject a current equal to 1.2 x I threshold Io>> on to the earth input and check
that the trip output relay is closed after tIo>>time delay.
2. Gradually decrease the current down to zero and check that the trip output
relay is still closed.
3. Reinitialise the trip output relay either by clearing the alarm message (alarm
menu) or by activation of the Logic Input 3 (Terminals 22-24).
Checks
1. Display of an alarm message on the front panel LCD
2. Alarm LED flashes.
3. Trip LED flashes.
4. Trip output relay closes.
5. Trip output relay opens after alarm message cleared.
