Fig 2.1: REGSys System Overview
The freely-programmable REG-DPA regulator can be used to tune continuously-adjustable Petersen-Coils

( P-coils respectively arc suppression coils ) that are operating under load in medium and high-voltage
networks. Furthermore, all other control, measurement and recording tasks related to Petersen-Coils can be
carried out.
The REG-DPA regulator is part of the REGSys™ regulation system and can therefore be connected to a
REG-D / PAN-D voltage regulator or a PQI-D power quality interface without any problems. An important
feature of REGSys™ is that all components that are connected to each other via the E-LAN system bus can
be parameterised or connected to the control system via a single interface. This means that the
measurement values and parameters of all connected devices are available to the control system, and that
they can be read and altered there. Conversions according to IEC 60870-5-103 (VDEW) and IEC 60870-5-
101 (balanced und unbalanced mode), MODBUS, SPABUS or IEC 61850 are available.
If multiple devices are connected via the E-LAN system bus, any bus station can be parameterised or read
by connecting a PC to the interface (COM1, COM2) or any other bus station.
Furthermore, multiple PCs can simultaneously access individual stations (Multimaster).

2.2 Basics of the Resonant Grounding

The “resonant grounding” is one of the most important options in electrical network design to obtain the
optimal power supply quality. The main advantage of the treatment of the neutral point is the possibility of
continuing the network operation during a sustained earth-fault. As a consequence this reduces the
number of interruptions of the power supply for the customer.
For the suppression of the arc the Petersen coil should be well tuned within limits, which are described in
[1] for the different insulation levels. The increase in the cable lengths of distribution networks brings about
that on the one hand the level of the neutral-to-earth voltage is decreasing and on the other hand the
resonance curves become sharper. The reason for the reduction of the neutral-to-earth voltage level is
mainly due to the reduced capacitance tolerances of the new cables. Furthermore, the cables have smaller
losses compared to equivalent overhead lines. This is why, the damping of the network is reduced and the
resonance curves become sharper.
A first idea to meet these demands on the control of Petersen coils is to make the measurement of the
neutral-to-earth voltage more sensitive. But in this chapter it will shown that with this idea the results doesn't
satisfy. The main reason for this is that the disturbances caused by the system due to, e.g. geometrically
asymmetric of installed cables, are higher than the measurement noise. Therefore the reasons for the
different disturbances of the neutral-to-earth voltage will be elaborated on the next pages. Finally, a new
approach for finding the resonance point also for smaller neutral-to-earth voltage levels will be presented.
2.2.1 Principals of the resonant grounding
In medium-voltage (MV) and high-voltage (HV) networks with “resonant grounding” the current over the
fault location in the case of a single line-to-earth-fault is reduced by the use of the Petersen-Coil. For this the
Petersen coil is adjusted during the healthy operation of the network to compensate the capacitive current
over the fault location by an inductive current. Fig. 2.2 shows the simplified equivalent circuit used for a faulty
distribution system where we assume ideal symmetrical three-phase voltage sources and negligible line
resistances and inductances.

Fig. 2.4: Simplified equivalent circuit
For the equivalent circuit of Fig. 2.4 the following equations

0 = I P + I1 + I2 + I3 (1.1)
U neYP = I P (1.2)
(1.3)
(U1 + U ne )Y1 = I1 (1.4)
(U 2 + U ne )Y2 = I2 (1.5)
(U 3 + U ne )Y3 = I3
Hold, with the admittances
1
YP = G P + (1.6)
jωLP
(1.7)
Y1 = (G + ΔG ) + jω (C + ΔC )
(1.8)
Y2 = Y3 = G + jωC.
Assuming a symmetrical three-phase system and using the abbreviation a = e − j120° with 0 = 1 + a + a 2 , we can
write the voltages U2 and U3 in the form
U 2 = a 2U1 and U 3 = aU1 . (1.9)
Now eq. (1) yields to
0 = U ne (YP + Y1 + Y2 + Y3 ) + U1 (Y1 + a 2Y2 + aY3 ) (1.10)
or equivalently
Y1 + a 2Y2 + aY3 (1.11)
U ne = − U1 .
YP + Y1 + Y2 + Y3
Using eqs. (1.6) - (1.8)(8), we get
Y1 + a 2Y2 + aY3 = ΔG + jωΔC (1.12)
Y1 + Y2 + Y3 = (3G + ΔG ) + jω (3C + ΔC ) (1.13)
and hence eq. (1.11) results in
YU YU (1.14)
U ne = − U1 = − U
YU + YW + j ( BC − BL ) YU + YO
with
YU = ΔG + jωΔC unbalance of the fault location
YW = 3G + G P wattmetric part of YO
BC = ω 3C capacitive part of YO

The equivalent circuit of eq. (1.14) is depicted in Fig. 2.5. This circuit is valid for low ohmic single line-to-

assumptions are satisfied.

Fig. 2.5: Single phase equivalent circuit for the “resonant grounding”.
In the following subsections the dependence of Une and IF on the tuning of the Petersen coil under the two
major operation conditions will be discussed.
2.2.2 Low ohmic single line-to-earth-fault:
In the case of a low ohmic earth-fault the capacitive unbalance jBC is negligible. On the other hand the
ohmic admittance ΔG is very high. As a result of these conditions the voltage on the resonance circuit Une is
more or less constant (see also Fig. 2.5). Fig. 5 shows the absolute value and Fig. 2.6 the locus diagram of
the current IF over the fault location as a function of the Petersen-Coil position Ipos = BLU1 for a typical 20
kV network ( BCU1 = 150 A, YWU1 = 5 A and 1/YU = 1 Ω ).

REG-DPA a-eberle
2.2.3 Natural capacitive unbalance of the healthy network
In this case the ohmic admittance ΔG is normally negligible compared to the capacitive unbalance jBC of
the network. As a consequence the current IF is more or less constant (see Fig. 2.5). In analogy to the
previous subsection Fig. 2.8 shows the absolute value and Fig. 2.9 the locus diagram of the neutral-to-earth
voltage Une at the fault (unbalance) location as a function of the Petersen-Coil position Ipos = BLU1 for a
typical 20 kV network (BCU1 = 150 A, YWU1 = 5 A and 1/YU = 40 kΩ ).
Fig. 2.8: Absolute value of the neutral-to-earth voltage Une.
The resonance curve of the sound network can be described by the following three parameters:
Ures maximum voltage of the resonance curve

Ires corresponding coil position to Ures
Iw wattmetric current over the fault location
in the case of a low ohmic earth-fault
These parameters can be determined from the resonance curve in an easy way. At the resonance point
( BC = BL ) eq. (1.14) simplifies to
Fig. 2.9: Locus diagram of the neutral-to-earth voltage Une.
YU (1.15)
U res = − U1 .
YU + YW
In order to explain the meaning of the current Iw, let us consider the point of the resonance curve from Fig.

REG-DPA a-eberle
U ne 1
2.8 or Fig. 2.9 where the relation = holds. Thus, under the assumption YU << YW the
U res 2
corresponding coil position Ipos,W = BL,WU1 can be calculated from eq. (1.14) in the form
(1.16)
U ne 1 1 1
= = ≈
U res 2 j ( BC − BL ,W ) j ( BC − BL ,
1+ 1+
YU + YW YW
or equivalently
( BC − BL ,W ) = YW . (1.17)
Multiplying eq. (1.17) with E1, we get the relations
( BC − BL ,W ) E1 = I res − I pos ,W = YW E1 = I W . (1.18)
Thus, eq. (1.18) says that the difference between the coil position at the resonance point Ires and the coil
position Ipos,W where the voltage Une is reduced to U res / 2 is equal to the wattmetric current IW.
For the explanation of the control algorithm it will be useful to consider the absolute value and the locus
diagram of the inverse of the neutral-to-earth voltage
1 Y + Y + j ( BC − BL ) (1.19)

U ne YU U1
as presented in the Fig. 2.10 and Fig. 2.11.

2.2.4 Network analysis by the controller
The controller makes all necessary recording for the estimation of the resonance point during its tuning.
The controller shows the result directly on the screen.
With the following data:
Icom Actual value of the Petersen Coil; can include fixcoils

v Detuning in A or %
Une Actual value of the zero-sequence voltage
Iw Wattmetric part of the current over te fault location in case of an solid grounded earthfault.
Ice Resonance point
Imin Minimum-value of the tuneable Petersen-Coil
Imax Maximum-value of the tuneable Petersen-Coil
According to the already evaluated curve of the value of the fault-current over the fault location, it is
possible to define the current during the healthy network in advance.

REG-DPA a-eberle
Fig. 2.12: Absolute value of the current IF over the fault location
The current will be in any case a minimum at the resonance point Ires. In this case the capacitive current from
the healthy phases and the current through the Petersen-Coil have the same size, but opposite directions.
The resulting current is only the wattmetric part IW of IF, which is also calculated during the tuning operation.
With the detuning-parameter v the additional reactive part of the fault current can be defined.

The value of the reactive current over the fault location may be calculated either as 'absolute value' or as
'relative value'. The following equations are describing both variants of calculation:
Detuning in A: v[ A] = Ipos[ A] − Ires[ A] (1.20)
Ipos[ A] − Ires[ A]
Detuning in %: v[%] = *100 (1.21)
Ires[ A]
In both equations, a positive value define an 'overcompensation' and a negative value an

undercompensation. A value of zero corresponds to a tuning to resonance.

REG-DPA a-eberle
Example:
Resonance current of the system: Ires = 150 A

( this corresponds to the capacitive current over line-to-earth capacities in case of a solid earth fault ):
Actual position of the P-Coils: Ipos = 160 A
The absolute detuning thus is calculated to:
v = 160 − 150 = +10 A ( => 10A overcompensation )

and the relative detuning is calculated as follows:
160 − 150
v= * 100 = 6,66%
150
Advantages of the input of an absolute detuning:
The controller tunes the coil to a position, that the reactive current over the fault location is always of the
same size, independent of the network size,
The reactive current is equal for small and large systems. Furthermore, no fix coils installed in the same
system have to be evaluated and taken into account for the calculation of the detuning. Most of the time, it is
not easy to define how many fix-coils and of witch size are included in the same system. Additional problems
arise from the possibilities to inform the controller of the actual sum-value of these coils. The result of the
tuning is always a clear statement on the value of the 50 Hz component of the reactive current over the fault
location.
In case of a detuning in per cent, the expected reactive current IV in A over the fault location is calculated
according to the following equation:
( I res + I fix ) ∗ v
Iv = (1.22)
100
Iv Detuning current ( Reactive current ) in A

Ires Current through the P-Coils in the resonance point. Ires corresponds to
the capacitive current of the system in case of an solid earth fault
Ifix Current of an additional fix-coil in the system
v Detuning in %
With a compensation in per cent, very large systems the resulting fault current can exceed the recommended
value for the self-extinguishing of the arc. (up to 20 kV: 60A, at 110kV approx. 132 A).

The expected touch voltage in the case of an earth fault should be taken into consideration according to the
DIN VDE 0101 as a further very important criteria for selecting the compensation. For this calculation the
earthing impedances must be known or estimated.

2.3 Disturbances of the Control Operation

Following the previous discussion it seems to be very easy to find the resonance point of the sound network
even for very small neutral-to-earth voltages. The problem becomes more difficult because several
disturbances generate a non-zero neutral-to-earth voltage Une. Thus, it is very difficult for the control
algorithm to distinguish between “real” resonance points and “fictitious” resonance points caused by the
disturbances. Next we will discuss the different reasons for the disturbances of the measurement of Une :
1. High noise levels in the measurement of Une due to, e.g. inductive and capacitive coupling on the line
from the measurement winding of the Petersen coil to the controller. This effect can be reduced, by using
twisted and shielded measurement lines.
2. Resolution of the A/D converter. The resonance maximum in cable networks is often less than 0.5 % of
U1. Thus, in order to identify a resonance curve the resolution should be in the range of 0.01 % of U1.
3. Harmonics in the zero-sequence system. They are filtered out by the controller.
4. Unbalance of the voltage (dU1) coupled from the HV.
5. Unbalance of the voltage (dU1) due to manufacturing tolerances of the transformer in the range less than
1 %. As a result a completely balanced HV-system generates an unbalanced system on the MV side.
6. An asymmetric load of the auxiliary system on the tertiary winding of the earthing-transformer (zig-zag)
also generates an unbalance of the voltage (dU1).
7. Capacitive unbalance of the lines due to, e.g. the geometrical arrangement of the phases in overhead
lines or due to the manufacturing tolerances of cables.
8. Coupling of the load current over the normally negligible line resistances and reactances (symmetric and
asymmetric values).
9. Coupling of the load current over the normally negligible mutual coupled line reactances (symmetric and
asymmetric values).
10. Measurement of the neutral-to-earth voltage Une using the open delta winding at the busbar instead of
the auxiliary winding of the Petersen coil results in a constant amplitude and phase error. This is caused
by the different accuracy classes of the open delta winding and the transformer.
11. Non-linearity between the measured coil position and the real susceptance of the Petersen coil. The
sensor for the coil position is a linear potentiometer, which gives a signal proportional to the air gap. But
the susceptance of the Petersen coil is a non-linear function of the air gap.
12. Capacitive coupling from parallel lines of different voltage levels on the same lattice tower. To reduce the
required ground floor, lines with different voltage levels are installed on the same lattice tower. Due to
this, changes in the balance of one system are capacitively coupled to the second system.
13. Combination of the disturbances mentioned above where unbalanced loads are important.
In order to get an impression of the quantitative influence of some of these disturbances on the neutral-to-
earth voltage Vne, in particular 4 to 9, we will subsequently investigate a simple 20 kV network.
2.3.1 Description of the network

The network under consideration consisting of a trans-former, the Petersen coil, a transmission line and a
load is depicted inFig. 2.16.

Let us assume that

¾ the transformer (110 kV / 20 kV) is ideal with no losses and no leakage inductance
¾ the line is 44.5 km long with zM12, M23, M13 = j 0.01665 Ω/km, y1, 2,3 = j 9.4251× 10 −5 1/(Ω km)
and zL1,L2,L3 = (0.233 + j0.1665) Ω/km,
¾ the admittance of the Petersen -Coil has the value YP = (0.432 + j 12.987) 1/Ω and
¾ the load is within the range ZLoad1, Load2, Load3 = 38.5 - ` Ω.
For the sake of clarity, we further assume without restriction of generality that unbalances of the transmission
line only occur in phase 1.
The disturbances described in the items 4 to 9 can be reduced to the following three coupling effects, which
will be discussed in more detail on the basis of the network of Fig. 2.16:
¾ Unbalance of the voltage (dU1).

¾ Unbalance of the line-to-earth capacitances.
¾ Coupling of the load current over the normally negligible line resistances and reactances.
2.3.2 Coupling phenomena for Une
2.3.2.1 Unbalance of the voltage dU1
Under the assumption that all components of the network are symmetrical except for the unbalanced
voltage dU1 we get the following relation between Une and dU1
U ne YLYC
=− (1.23)
dU1 3YLYC + YP (YL + YC )
with
1 series line admittance

YL =
( R L + jωL L )
YC = jωC line-to-earth capacitive admittance

YP = G P + admittance of the Petersen coil.
jωLP
The important information of eq. (1.23) is that even in a network with ideal symmetrical components (line
resistances, line reactances, mutual coupling, line-to-earth capacitances and loads) an unbalance
dU1 will produce a non-zero neutral-to-earth voltage Une. In addition, the amplitude of this voltage
depends on different network parameters and has its maximum in the case when the Petersen coil is
adjusted. The relation U ne / dU1 as a function of the coil position for the network of Fig. 2.16 is shown in
Fig. 2.17.

Fig. 2.17: Neutral-to-earth voltage due to an unbalance on the HV side
2.3.2.2 Unbalance of the line-to-earth capacitances
For this investigation we assume that dU1 = 0 and that there is only an unbalance ΔYC in the line-to-earth
capacitance in phase 1. Then the following relation
U ne 3Y 2 ΔY
=− L C
U1 3Yn1 + Yn 2
U ne 3Y 2 ΔY (1.24)
=− L C
U1 3Yn1 + Yn 2
can be found with
Yn1 = (YC + YL + YLoad + ΔYC )(3YLYC + YP (YL + YC )) (1.25)

Yn 2 = ΔYC (3YL + YLoad (YP + 3YL ))
2
1
YLoad =
Z Load
ΔYC = jωΔC.
The natural unbalance in the line-to-earth capacitance ΔYC also brings about a non-zero neutral-to-earth
voltage Une. But now Une also depends on the load YLoad and hence on the load current due to the
serial impedance of the line. As it can be seen from eq. (1.24) and eq. (1.25) this dependence is even
present if both the serial line impedance and the load are symmetrical. If there are additional asymmetries in
the serial impedances, e.g. due to asymmetrical mutual coupling of the overhead lines, the coupling effect
can be worse. Fig. 2.18 depicts the relation U ne / U1 as a function of the load current in the case of an
adjusted Petersen coil for the network of Fig. 2.16.

REG-DPA a-eberle
Fig. 2.18: Neutral-to-earth voltage due to a capacitive unbalance and non-zero serial impedances in the line.
2.3.2.3 Unbalance of the serial impedances of the line
For this calculation the assumption dU1 = 0 and a symmetrical network except for an asymmetry of 5% in ZL
of phase 1 is made. Since the formulas are rather complex only the graph of the relation U ne / U1 in Fig.
2.19 as a function of the load current in the case of an adjusted Petersen coil for the network of Fig. 2.16 is
presented.
Fig. 2.19: Neutral-to-earth voltage due to an unbalance of the serial impedances in the line
The important result is that there is an increasing neutral-to-earth voltage Une depending on the load
current. If the load current is zero Une results from the capacitive current of the line itself. In some networks
the neutral-to-earth voltage is zero in the case of no-load operation of the network. The coupled voltages of
the capacitive unbalance and of the unbalance of the serial impedances are compensating themselves. But
as it can be seen in Fig. 2.19 the neutral-to-earth voltage Une is increasing depending on the load.
The asymmetry of a line may be caused for example by the kind of laying the cables, as shown in Fig.
2.20a. If the cables are laid in a triangle (see Fig. 2.20b) the mutual coupling of the three phases is obviously
the same. A similar situation can be found for overhead lines where an improvement can be made, by
transposing the phases.

The change of the load during the morning break and the lunch time is recognizable in the behavior of Une.
Also the working period from 7:00 to 17:00 can be recognized. The end of television between 21:00 and
24:00 result in a slow change of Une.
The problem in this network is, that the zero-sequence-voltage Une is only about 0.2 % in the night and
increases during the day up to 1.5%. This is a special challange for the controller.
The parameter of the controller are set correct, if the controller is tuning not more than 10 times per day in a
comparable system.
2.4 Control of the Petersen Coil

The only quantities being measurable for the controller are the actual coil position and the neutral-to-earth
voltage Une. Fig. 2.23 depicts the controller interface of the Petersen coil.

The task of the controller is to detect a change of the network configuration and to adjust the Petersen coil to
the new resonance point or to a predefined over- or under-compensated value. In the simplest version the
change of the absolute value of the neutral-to-earth voltage Une is used as an indication of a switch operation
in the network. With this approach not all changes of the network configuration can be detected. An
improvement can be made, by investigating the change of the neutral-to-earth voltage Une in the complex
plane. To calculate the resonance curve parameters it is necessary to change the value of the Petersen-Coil
and to measure the corresponding variation of the neutral-to-earth voltage Une. As shown in the sections
before, the voltage Une is corrupted by different disturbances. Summarizing the objectives, the controller has
Druml: BA_REG-DPA_e_2007_01_01_012.doc 2.4 15BControl of the Petersen Coil 25

REG-DPA a-eberle
¾ to distinguish between a “real” resonance point and a “fictitious” resonance point, in particular in the case
of small neutral-to-earth voltages and
¾ to recognize switch operations during the tuning operation of the Petersen-Coil.
It has turned out that by means of a least-squares approach the parameters Ures, Ires and IW of the
resonance curve of fig. 7 can be obtained in a robust way. The Petersen-Coil needs in its fastest operation
mode about 60 s from one end-switch to the other. This requires that during the tuning operation about every
0.5 s a new estimation is accessible. To avoid too high computational consumption the non-linear parameter
estimation problem is transformed to a linear one.
For this purpose let us consider eq. (1.19) in the form

U ne 1 1

U1 T ⎛ YW ⎞ ⎛ BC − BL ⎞ (1.26)

or equivalently

0 = YU + 2YU YW + YW + BC − 2 BC BL − YU T + BL .
2 2 2 2 2

Since T and BL can be measured, we can rewrite eq. (1.27) for n different measurement points in the form

with the abbreviations

x2 = YU

(1.30)
x3 = YU + 2YU YW + YW + BC .
2 2 2 (1.31)
Eq. (1.28)can be solved with a classical least squares approach in order to obtain BC, YU and YW and
from this the parameters Ures, Ires and IW for the construction of the resonance curve. It is worth mentioning
that for the sake of computational efficiency an on-line version of the least-squares algorithm is implemented.
However, some further steps in the preprocessing of the signals have to be taken to gain additional
robustness against disturbances.
As an example Fig. 2.24 shows the estimated inverse resonance curve (see eq. (19) and Fig. 2.10), by using
only the marked samples from the measured values for the computation of the parameters. The real
resonance point of the network is at 100 A.

2.5 Control of the Petersen Coil with Current Injection

The tuning of the Petersen-Coil is a preventive operation already done in the healthy network. With the
existing methods it is not possible to determine the network parameters during a solid earthfault. The fault
location and the resistance at the fault location are unknown and are not accessible for a measurement. In
case of a solid earthfault, the zero-sequence voltage is impressed and the measurement of the zero-
sequence current at the fault location is impossible. The zero-sequence current can only be measured at the
substation or in some cases at some dedicated switching-stations.
In the past, different control algorithms were developed. Most of these algorithms are based on the
necessity to move the Petersen-Coil. The development of today's distribution networks is characterized on
one side by an increase of symmetrical cables, which results in smaller usable zero-sequence-voltages
and, on the other side, in an increase of the crosstalk of the positive sequence of the load current to
the zero-sequence system. With the decreasing zero-sequence voltage the controller must be set much
more sensitive. Due to the crosstalk of the load current to the zero-sequence voltage, each change of the
load current can release a tuning operation, which is, in most of the actual algorithms, combined with a
physical movement of the Petersen-Coil. Due to the disturbances the state and parameter estimation of the
network is much more difficult and results in a necessary movement of the Petersen-Coil over a longer
distance. Nevertheless, sometimes a correct tuning is impossible.
One problem arises because the motor-drive of the Petersen-Coil is only designed for few tuning operations
per day. The other problem arises because of the longer detuning time. This is caused by the increase of
tuning cycles, respectively by wrong tuning positions.
Therefore on the next pages a method will be presented, which is able to find the correct tuning position,
even if the natural zero-sequence voltage is zero, respectively if the disturbances in the zero-sequence
voltage are not negligible. Additionally, the number of necessary moving operations is reduced.
2.5.1 Existing Algorithms
Up to now, mainly the following algorithms are used to determine the network parameters respectively to
tune the Petersen-Coil. The relative change of the zero-sequence voltage is normally used as the criterion
for the detection of a switching operation in the network.

REG-DPA a-eberle
1. Artificial Earthfault
By measuring the current over the artificial earthfault location and searching for the minimum of the
current by tuning the Petersen-Coil, the tuning point and the parameters of the equivalent network can be
determined. This method is actually only used to check the quality of a control algorithm.
2. Search of max | UNE |

This algorithm searches the maximum of the residual voltage. Improved versions of this algorithm
determine additionally the network parameters by using the 2 method. Alternative algorithms are using
least-square techniques to estimate the network parameters already from a part of the resonance curve.
3. Least square based on | 1/UNE |

A lower sensitivity against disturbances can be reached by using an algorithm based on the inverse of the
resonance curve.
4. Locus Diagram of U0
This method is based on the fact that a circle can be constructed with only three points. This method
assumes that the third point of the circle is the origin of the complex plane. A short detuning can be achieved
for example by switching a capacity in parallel to the Petersen-Coil. This switching results in a second point
of the locus diagram of UNE. Measuring the voltage with amplitude and angle it is possible to construct the
locus diagram.
5. 50 Hz Current Injection
This algorithm is based on the idea to inject an artificial current into the neutral point of the system if there
is no unsymmetrical current from the natural asymmetry. The influence of the natural unbalance can be
partly compensated by using a differential measurement from two time points. Eq.

2.5.2 New Algorithm
Principle
All the existing algorithms are based on the fact, that the residual voltage is generated either by the natural
unbalance of the network or by an artificial 50 Hz current injection. These methods are assuming, that there
is no change in the network respectively no change of the crosstalk of the load current during the calculation
period. Please pay attention that the calculation period can last from several seconds up to several
minutes.
In reality there are a lot of situations where these assumptions are not valid, for example in the sphere of
heavy industry with symmetrical networks but heavy changes of load.
The new CIF-algorithm (Control by Injecting Frequencies) suppresses the 50 Hz crosstalk from the load
current by using frequencies unequal to 50 Hz for the measuring and for the parameter estimation.
The simplified equivalent circuit with a current injection according to Fig. 2.25
Fig. 2.25: Simple equivalent circuit with current injection.

REG-DPA a-eberle
results for the frequencies unequal to 50 Hz toFig. 2.26
Fig. 2.26: Simple equivalent circuit with current injection unequal to 50 Hz.
For the frequency fn the admittance, seen from the current injection, can be described as:
I CI _ fn 1
Y CI _ fn = = Y U + YW + j (ωn C − ) (1.33)
U NE _ fn ωn L
For symmetrical networks with a small YU this results in
I CI _ fn 1
Y CI _ fn = ≈ YW + j (ωn C − ) (1.34)
U NE _ fn ωn L
Using two different frequencies f1 and f2 one gets two complex equations with three variables, which leads to
the following solution:
⎧⎪ I f 1 ⎫⎪
Y W = real ⎨ ⎬ (1.35)
⎪⎩ U NE _ f 1 ⎪⎭
imag (Y CI _ f 1 ) ω1 − imag (Y CI _ f 2 ) ω2
C= (1.36)
ω12 − ω22
1
L= (1.37)
ω1 (−imag (Y CI _ f 1 ) + ω1C )
Assuming a linear system enables the current injection of two frequencies and evaluation of the
corresponding YCI_fn at the same time. This results in very fast measurement possibilities and depends more
or less on the used frequencies and filter algorithms. The duration of the measurement is usually in the range
of 240 ms.
The following items list the main advantages of this new CIF-algorithm:
¾ Very fast measurement

¾ Suitable also for symmetrical networks
¾ Determination of the sum of all Petersen-Coils including distributed fixed-coils in the compensated
area
¾ Insensitive to the 50 Hz open-delta VT error
¾ Suppression of 50 Hz crosstalk
Additional requirements
Depending on the resonance curve and the normal operation philosophy of the network, there arise some
additional requirements for the current injection.
1) The injected current should be variable in the amplitude to enable adaptation to the losses of different
switching states of the network.
One of the most used criteria for the earthfault detection is the zero-sequence voltage. In small networks

REG-DPA a-eberle
the losses in the network are smaller, so that only a reduced current should be injected, not to exceed the
threshold level of the earthfault detection system, especially in the resonance point.
On the other side, in case of situations with a large detuning a small injected current will not deliver a
reliable measurement of the residual voltage UNE_fn .In this case a higher injected current is recommended.
2) The injected frequencies should not include 50 Hz components.
3) Using a current injection with variable frequencies, it is possible to select the injected frequencies in such
a way, that these frequencies are near to the resonance of the network. In this case small injected
currents result in large values of the residual voltage. The accuracy of the parameter estimation is
increased, especially for systems with a large standard detuning.
Operation philosophy
Depending on the operation philosophy the current injection can be activated only for a short time after the
detection of an essential relative change of the zero-sequence voltage, to check if a new tuning of the
Petersen-Coil is necessary. In symmetrical networks the current injection can be switched on continuously,
to detect any switching operation in the network immediately. Combinations of these two philosophies are
possible, for example to check every 10 min the actual network parameters in symmetrical networks.
More Precise Models
In Fig. 2.25 a connection of the Petersen-Coil to the neutral point of the transformer is shown. For a more
accurate calculation of the network including a Petersen coil, as shown in Fig. 2.25 , it is necessary to use a
more precise equivalent circuit as depicted in Fig. 2.28.

REG-DPA a-eberle
As the crosstalk from 50 Hz is suppressed, the measurement of U0D can be used for the calculation of the
essential parameters for each line.
It is possible to calculate the capacitive part BCx, the losses YWx and the size of distributed coils BLx seen on
feeder x, with the same method as explained above. By using additionally the 50 Hz components at the
same time, the actual unbalance of the network can be determined and supervised.
The advantage of this algorithm is, that all measurements are made at the same time. The usual problem to
check for a switching operation is removed. The determination of the network parameter is included in the
algorithm directly.
2.5.4 Types of multi-frequency Current Injections (CI)
The most simple way is to use a standard frequency converter (FC) in the mode of a current source as
shown in Fig. 2.30. To reduce the disturbances on the 400 V side, a frequency converter with a power factor
correction module (PFC) is recommended. The coil L1 respectively the parallel circuit L1//L2 is used to
convert the pulsed voltage to an impressed current. The size of L1//L2 defines the maximum available
injected current. The auxiliary winding of the Petersen-Coil is usually designed for 500 V, which makes
necessary, in these cases, an additional transformer for the adaptation. With this type of current injection two
currents with individual amplitude, frequency and phase can be injected very easy. On the other side the
physical realisation is not the cheapest one.
Fig. 2.30: Current injection with AC-switch for three frequencies (AC-1)
If the requirement for variable frequencies is cancelled, a much cheaper version to generate a current with
more frequencies is available, as shown in Fig. 2.31

The major disadvantage of this type of current injection is that the main spectrum of the injected current is 50
Hz. This can be avoided by the following type of thyristor-switch, where it is possible to invert the direction of
the current during the previous pause time.

2.6 Solution for Control with REG-DP(A)

2.6.1 Without "Current - Injection (CI)"
¾ Tuning of the Petersen Coil only with zero-sequence voltage by changing the coil position
¾ Enough zero-sequence voltage must be available
¾ Zero-sequence voltage should be used from the Petersen Coil ( With known L0Tr the influence of this
impedance could be taken into account for the display of Cnet )
2.6.2 With " Current - Injection (CI)"
The algorithm uses the measurement according to the simplified schema from Fig. 2.28
In most cases it is sufficient to use the simplified algorithm with ICI and U0D respectively UNS
The resistors Rs1 and Rs2 normally doesn't exist. In this case UNS = UNE

CIF Algorithm ( Control by Injecting Frequencies )
Steps of CIF:
¾ Injection of CI with two frequencies

¾ Frequencies are ≠ 50 Hz => disturbances of 50 Hz can be suppressed
¾ Measurement of U0, UNE and ICI
¾ Calculation of the zero-sequence admittance and its components GP, Cnet, ZoTr and LP at this two
frequencies
¾ Decision to move the coil or not
Characteristics of CIF:
¾ Up to two frequencies
¾ Frequencies near to the resonance frequency
¾ Parameters:
o Maximal allowed current injection: |ICI | < 25 A
o Maximal value of u0 due to current injection: u0(t) < 5%
¾ Continuous injection with reduced current for supervisory of the network
¾ Switch off or reduction of the current injection during coil movement
¾ Very fast, as the calculation is within one filter cycle ( 240 ms)
¾ For supervision of the network in case of very small U0 the current-injection can be selected to be
continuous or periodically
¾ During continuous injection switch operation are detected immediately

¾ Works also in very symmetrical networks
¾ No influence of 50 Hz asymmetries or crosstalk of 50 Hz positive sequence components to the zero-
sequence components for the calculation of the detuning.
2.7 Current Injection(CI)

2.7.1 General
¾ Injection and move of the coil at the same time is not required, but possible
¾ Size of current injection is changed by the controller. Max of 20 A on the 220 V side
( 10 A on the 500 V side )
¾ Maximal allowed value of u0(t) < 5% caused by Current Injection. The current injection is supervising
u0(t) and limits its actual injection if necessary.
2.8 Influence of the Petersen Coil on the use of CI

spindle Imax

fixed core
Fig. 2.38: Principal design of a Petersen Coil
The primary winding is connected on one side to the high voltage system and on the other side to ground.
According to some specifications also the grounded side must be isolated to ground for the full voltage. In
this case both bushings on the top of the Petersen-Coils have the same isolation level and the customer can
select which one will be grounded.
The Power-Auxiliary-Winding (PAW) is normally designed for 500 V with variation of ± 10% over the tuning
range. Due to the variation of the distance d of the air-gap the coupling from the primary winding to the PAW
is not constant. The PAW is normally designed for an additional load-current of about 10% of the specified
maximum of the inductive current Ip_max. This current can be ohmic, inductive or capacitive. For the design of
the Petersen-Coil the maximum duration of this additional current must be specified and depends on the use
of this PAW.

REG-DPA a-eberle
In most cases for the measurement of the UNE few Measurement Windings (MW) are added to deliver about
100 V in case of a solid earthfault. Also the accuracy of this winding is only in the range of 10%. The
accuracy of this measurement depends on the location and distribution of these windings. Sometimes their
arrangement is concentrated and asymmetric as shown in Fig. 2.39: Petersen Coil with PAW. Another
solution implements the winding on the return limp of the magnetic circuit. There are lot of additional different
solutions to get better results for the measurement and they can be optimized for a class of coils with a
nominal power.
Alternative solutions generate the 100 V via a simple autotransformer connected to the PAW. As long there
is not wattmetric-increase connected to the PAW the measurement is relative acceptable.
To improve he accuracy of the voltage measurement some designs uses a small voltage transformer under
oil connected directly to the primary voltage. With this solution the accuracy depends only on the accuracy of
the voltage transformer.
For the current injection the Petersen Coil is not more an ideal transformer. The coupling between the three
windings is a function of the coil position and is nonlinear.
The use of the current injection, as a simple method, can be made more complicate if the current injection
should be used in combination with an older Petersen-Coil without a PAW.
Petersen Coils with PAW
In this case the Petersen Coil is used as a transformer. The major influence on the accuracy is depending on
the constancy of the transfer-function of the injected current on the secondary side to the resultant current on
the primary side. This transfer-function should be constant over the whole tuning range of the Petersen coil.
Additionally the voltage measurement should reflect the primary voltage and not the voltage on the PAW.

Petersen Coils without PAW
In this case, an additionally small single phase transformer as a replacement of the PAW is necessary,
connected parallel to the primary side of the Petersen-Coil. The power rating of this transformer can be
designed for about 10 A continuous current on the low voltage side. The ratio of the windings is normally
designed to produce 500 V on the low-voltage side. The short circuit impedance of the transformer should
be as small as possible.

If figures are shown in the following tables, they assume a 20 kV network, an injection transformer with a
ratio of 11550/500, a natural unbalance of < 5%, a network with Ice of about 300 A and a maximal injection

3.5.1 Level I
Signals with non touchable voltages are connected first of all on level I.
All of the circuits on level I have a nominal insulation voltage of > 50 V and are therefore considered to be
non touchable in accordance with VDE 0110.
Please take into account this condition, even if low voltages are connected to the relay-contacts or the binary
inputs.
3.5.1.1 Auxiliary Power Supply
The protection earth must be connected first, because the REG-DPA is a device with protection class I.
A plug-in shoe ( 6.3 x 0.8 mm) is provided in the lower part of the housing for the connecting the protective
earth.

For the tuning of the Petersen-Coil a voltage of 230 V AC is necessary at the motor drive. Without this
voltage a tuning is impossible. Therefore also for the controller a power supply of 230 V AC is enough. It is
not necessary to connect the controller to the uninterruptible power supply of the protection system. The
parameters and data of the recorders are buffered by a battery and will be not lost by an voltage dip or an
longer power supply interruption.
If 230 VAC is used as the power supply, it is preferred to use this voltage also for the Usync to enable the
angle measurement of the phasors.

Usync:
To enable the angle measurement of the phasor, the controller needs a reference voltage with a minimum
amplitude of 40 VAC. As reference any synchronised voltage can be used. The 230 V AC of the auxiliary
power supply is the preferred solution, due to the simplified connection. If the 230 VAC is not available, the
100 V of U12 of the busbar voltage measurement can be used.
Zero-Sequence voltage Une = 3Uo:
The Zero-sequence voltage can be parameterised up to 110 V AC.
For the control with the standard algorithm the voltage measured at the Petersen Coil should be used. For
the standard algorithm the voltage of the open delta winding is not applicable due to the complex offset
voltage of this type of measurement, especially at very low zero-sequence-voltages. The measurement of
the open delta would be identical to the measurement at the Petersen Coil only, if the VT's would model
exact the power transformer.
If the controller is using the current injection system, the open delta measurement is the preferred solution.
Normally the measurement winding at the Petersen-Coil is designed to deliver 100 VAC in case of a solid
grounded earthfault.

Ip current through the Petersen-Coil:
With this analogue input the real current through the Petersen-Coil or any other current can be measured.
The current Ip is not used by the algorithm. Due to the large air-gap the Petersen-Coil is more or less a linear
element. If the actual coil-position and the zero-sequence voltage is known, the corresponding current
through the coil can be calculated immediately.

- Potentiometer ( range: 150 Ω up to 3 kΩ )
- 0 …20 mA current source
- 0 …10 mA current source
- 0 … 5 mA current source
- 0 … 1 mA current source
The function can be selected via DIP-Switches
SW_ 1: 'on' 1 mA
SW_2: 'on' 5 mA
SW_3: 'on' 10 mA
SW_4: 'on' 20 mA
To get correct amplification in the 'current source-mode' only one of the DIP-switches SW_1 … SW_4 is
allowed to be in the 'on' position at the same time. For the 'standard potentiometer-mode' all switches SW_1
… SW4 must be in the 'off' position. The 'wire-break-detection' is in the current source mode not possible.
In the 'potentiometer-mode' the wire-break-detection can be enabled by putting SW_5 into the 'on' position.

The comparison of the three methods should take into account the normally very long distance between the
controller and the Petersen-Coil. The temperature gradient of the potentiometer and of the long line delivers

REG-DPA a-eberle
the major influence to the accuracy. In the first version the temperature gradient of the potentiometer is more
or less compensated, as the coil position is estimated from the ratio of the resistance. The influence of the
temperature variation is minimal.
In the second configuration the temperature gradient of the line can be ignored. The temperature gradient of
the converter coil-position to mA is the major problem.
In the third configuration all temperature gradients influences the actual coil position.
The first version is the best solution, especially if the resistance of the potentiometer is much higher, than the
impedances of the connecting wires.

4.2 Human-Machine Interface (HMI)

The human-machine interface of the P-Coil controller REG - DP is completely menu-assisted.
If controller parameters should be set or changed, the following operation principle applies:
Switching of the operation mode AUTO / MANUAL
¾ <MANUAL> Operation mode is changed to manual operation

¾ <AUTO> Operation mode is changed to automatic operation
Switching of the operation mode local / remote
¾ With every push of the key <local / remote> there will be a change to the other operation status
Switching to operation mode menu and parameterization
¾ Key <MENU> lists the first page of possible operation modes
( Key <F1> or key <⇒> would list the next page of possible operation modes )
¾ Select Menu 'SETUP' with <F3>

REG-DPA a-eberle
¾ Turn pages with the keys <F1> to <F5> and the horizontal arrow keys until the required parameter is
reached.
For example, with the sequence <F2><F2><F3> the parameter for the threshold level can be
reached
¾ Set the value of the parameter using the function keys.

<F1> increments the value in big steps
<F2> increments the value in small steps
<F4> decrements the value in small steps
<F5> decrements the value in big steps
¾ With the horizontal arrow keys < ⇐ > and < ⇒ > the value of the increments resp. decrements
in the right column may be changed. Therefore it is possible to navigate very quickly, even within
very big number ranges.
¾ <F3> resp. <F5> are used for special functions in some 'SETUP'- menus.
¾ If the modification of a value is finished, the changed value must be confirmed by the key <ENTER>.
Additionally, with the confirmation the display is changing back to the previous menu level.
¾ Leaving the setting menu without changing the value: short striking of <ESC > (abort)
¾ Leaving the parameterization and return to the initial display mode for example resonance curve:
long pressing of key <ESC> ( ESC++ )
¾ There is no interruption of any control operation, if the menu is displayed
¾ In the operation mode "AUTO", the keys "Higher" and "Lower" are locked

4.3.4 Operation-mode Recorder
4.3.4.1 Recorder display
On the display, the temporal characteristic of the coil position Ipos and of the zero-sequence-voltage Une is
shown as a line diagram. In the left diagram, the linearized coil position Ipos is displayed in [A] and in the
right diagram the zero-sequence-voltage Une is displayed logarithmically in [V], in a range of three decades
which corresponds to the range of 0.1 V ... 100 V.
In the diagram, the actual values are on top of the diagram. These actual values are marked with small
arrows, which are symbolizations for writing pens. In order to permit a more accurate reading of the values,
the measured values are also displayed digitally.
Above the numerical display of the actual measurements, the actual state of the controller is displayed. Thus,
even in the operation mode 'recorder' it is possible to recognize the actual status of the controller.
The actual transportation speed is shown in the right corner at the bottom of the screen and can be changed
by pressing the keys <F4> and <F5> in the following steps:
• 12 s / Div,
• 1 min / Div
• 5 min / Div
• 10 min / Div
Using the keys <F1> and <F2> it is possible to switch to the mode 'History' and to search for the interesting
events in the memory, according to the arrow directions.
Pressing the key <F3> changes to a submenu in which additional parameters for the recorder may be set.

REG-DPA a-eberle
4.3.4.2 Setting Possibilities for the Recorder
Scrolling:
By this parameter, the different transport-rates for the keys <F1:ñ> and <F2: ò> may be set for the search in
the history- buffer. The following step sizes per key strike are selectable:
1 Pixel
1 Div
3 Div
5 Div
1 min
1h
Time search:
To enable a faster search in the history-buffer, it is possible to insert the date and clock-time of the
interesting point of time directly. This point of time corresponds to the position of the pens.
The values to be changed can be selected by means of key <F3> or by means of the arrow- keys < ⇐ > and
< ⇒ >. Using the keys <F1>, <F2> resp. <F4>, <F5> the value may be changed.
< ESC> aborts the modification, whereas <ENTER> accepts the actual value.
Fill Level:
The actual fill level of the recorder is shown here in % resp. in days.
By means of key <F5> the recorder can be cleared.
Method of recording:
It is checked every second, if the measured value, which should be recorded, has changed by a defined
threshold. If the variation exceeds this threshold value in positive or negative direction, a complete set of
data is stored in the recorder. By this method a very compressed recording occurs.
The buffer is organized as a ring-buffer, i.e. as soon as the buffer is full, the oldest data is overwritten.
The standard settings of the thresholds are fixed in such a way, that the three channels may be stored over a
period of approx. two weeks, assuming that there are only usual changes within the system.
Start / Stop:
Key <F5> stops the recording resp. restarts it.
By means of this key, the recording may be frozen so that, for example, the data can be transmitted to a PC
later
Channel 1 , Displayed left:
The assignment and the thresholds of the measured values, which should be recorded, are freely selectable:
The left channel is displayed linear!

REG-DPA a-eberle
Possibilities for the 'Quantity' selections are:
Measuring value Description

Not used No recording is made
Une Amplitude of the zero-sequence voltage Une in V ( primary values )
Une_Phi Phase angle of the zero-sequence-voltage in °, referred to Usync - 30°
I1 Amplitude of the current input I1 in A ( primary values )
I1_Phi Phase angle of the current I1 in °, referred to Usync - 30°
I2 Amplitude of the current input I2 in A ( primary values )
I2_Phi Phase angle of the current I2 in °, referred to Usync - 30°
Ipos Coil position in A, linearized and recalculated to the coil data
Usync Amplitude of the synchronization voltage.
Key <F3> may set the 'Resolution' for the trigger for a new recording. After the recording, the actual value is
used as the new reference value for the calculation of the threshold.
The zero-sequence voltage is stored and displayed logarithmically. This type of recording enables also for
very small voltages a good resolution.
Channel 2 , Displayed right:
The possible 'Quantity' selection is identical to channel 1.
Channel 3 , ( invisible ):
In this channel, an additional information may be stored, e.g. the phase angle of the zero-sequence-voltage
Une.
Caution:
If the assignment of a recording channel is changed, all data stored in the recorder will be deleted.

Striking <F2>, starts the calibration procedure.
The coil will be moved to the lower end-switch, than to the upper end-switch. The end-switches and the
corresponding potentiometer-positions are automatically recorded and stored for the further operations.
From the upper position, the coil is moved near to the middle position, where the system is automatically
checked from the controller for the following parameters:
- lost motion
- mechanical play
- after running
If this evaluation is successful, the coil is moved to the lower end-switch, to be prepared for the coil
linearization.
The results of the calibration can be verified on the next screens.

Imin: (End-switch Low)

Value of the potentiometer ratio, where the ‘End-switch Low’ was detected. In case of no end-
switches at this position there was no coil-movement detected for more than 15 s.
Imax: (End-switch High)

Value of the potentiometer ratio, where the ‘End-switch High’ was detected.
Run-time L->H
Operation time, which were needed from the Petersen-Coil to move from the end-switch low to the
end-switch high.
After-running
Time delay expressed in A of the equivalent coil movement from the beginning of a stop-signal to the
Petersen-Coil and detection of no movement of the Petersen-Coil. This parameter is used during
normal operation to improve the reach ability of exact compensation points. Depending on this value
the motor is stopped before the target compensation point.
Lost motion
Due to mechanical play there is difference between the real air-gap of the iron core and the signalled
potentiometer position. This difference depends on the direction of the movement.
The REG-DP(A) evaluates this mechanical play during the commissioning and uses it to compensate
the displayed values during normal operation. The compensation is only working, if the commands to
the Petersen-Coil is generated by the controller. It can not compensate if the coil is moved by the
buttons in front of the Petersen-Coil.
Poti- linearity
During the commissioning the values of the potentiometer-slider is recorded. Normally this should be
a linear function of the time. The displayed value is the deviation from the linear time interpolation
from the minimum to the maximum coil position. This value should be below 2%. Higher values
indication problems with the potentiometer or with the connection from the controller to the Petersen-
Coil.
With <RETURN> the actual values will be accepted and stored for further use. With <ESC> the calibration is
aborted and the results cancelled.
Possible errors:
- Motor drive supply is switched off
- Wiring of motor up / down commands
- Wiring of end-contacts
- Wiring of potentiometer
- Sequence of the potentiometer wiring.

5.6 Linearization of the coil

This paragraph can be skipped, if the coil is linear.
To compensate the nonlinear function of the inductive current through the Petersen-Coil depending on the
air gap, it is possible to insert in the controller up to 8 interpolation points.
The menu can be found in the <F4: P-Coil> menu with <F4: Poti Linerization>
For the linearization the following sequence is necessary
The following procedure is recommended for the linearization, starting in the lower end-position:
¾ Selection of 8 interpolation points. It is recommended to use more interpolation points in the lower
part of the P-Coil, as the nonlinearity is in this part usually higher.
There should be used only that interpolation points, which have a mark on the mechanical indication
on the P-Coil. To reduce the influence of the mechanical play, the interpolation points should be
approached only from one side.
1. Move the P-Coil to the next selected interpolation point

2. Select the next line by using the arrow key < ⇒ >
3. Pressing <F3: Copy> inserts one line, copies the actual potentiometer value in the 2nd column of the
actual line; and copies the last Coil current of the above line to the actual line.
4. Correct the value of the coil-current Ipos in A to the actual value which was selected in item 1
¾ Repeat the last 4 steps until all 8 values are set or until Imax has been reached.
With <RETURN> the actual values will be accepted and stored for further use. With <ESC> the linearization
is aborted and the results cancelled.

6.2.3 Control
General
Trigger for search

After a successfully tuning operation the zero-sequence voltage Une is stored with amplitude and
phase as the new reference voltage Une_ref. If the zero-sequence voltage changes, due to changes in
the network, either in amplitude or in phase larger than a preset value, a new calculation of the
actual network parameters is initiated.
The threshold range of the circle 3 is defined as a relative value referring to the reference voltage
Une_ref . If the phase-measurement is not accessible, only the relative amplitude of Une_ref is used.

Relative Range of Une
The relative range is the radius of the circle 3 in Fig. 6.7 and is defined in % and is referring to the
amplitude of Une of the last successfully tuning operation.
Standard value: 15 %
Delay of search
The calculation is only started, if the actual zero-sequence-voltage is permanent out of the threshold
area during this defined time. If the voltage is coming into this threshold area, the timer is reseted.
Standard value: 120 s

Standard value for commissioning: 15 s
Delay of forced search

In case of a forced change of the controller status, it is not necessary to wait the same time as in
case of an change of the zero-sequence voltage. The time can be reduced to a lower value.
Standard value: 5 s
Tuning position
With the following parameters the type and size of detuning of the Petersen-Coil can be defined.
The calculation sequence of the controller evaluates the capacitive zero-sequence-current of the
network. Taking the following parameters into account the Petersen-Coil is tuned to the new coil
position.
For the calculation of the new tuning position the following possibilities exists:
Absolute detuning in A
The detuning ΔI CE _ abs is directly defined in A.
I COMP = I CE + ΔI CE _ abs
Relative detuning in A
The detuning ΔI CE _ rel is defined in % of the whole capacitive zero-sequence current of the network.
For a correct calculation of I CE all fixcoils in the network must be taken into account.

Search method
The method for the evaluation of the whole capacitive zero-sequence current I CE can be selected

Move Coil
Current Injection
Minimum move dIpos

In case of moving the coil to estimate the resonant point, this parameter defines the minimum coil
movement before the first acceptance of the parameter estimation. In any case the parameter
estimation starts after an coil movement of 3 %
Standard value: 5 %
Pass resonance maximum

If selected, the controller is pressed to move over the resonant point. This method increases the
accuracy of the parameter estimation. Especially the wattmetric part I w can be estimated correct
only by crossing the resonant point.
Standard value: ;
Follow-up of Uref
To reduce the number of search operation, slow changes Une can be accepted. If the voltage never
cross the previous defined threshold during the time defined in this parameter, the actual value of Une
at the end of this period will be used as a new reference voltage for the calculation of the new
threshold. Therefore the Une_ref follows slow changes of Une.
A value of 0 deactivates the function
Standard value: 5 min
Une angle measurement

Referring Fig. 6.7 this parameter enables to select between the blue circle with enabled angle
measurement and the orange ring-area with disabled angle measurement.
The standard value is set on, but in some cases the angle measurement should be switched off,
especially in cases with very steep resonance curves and with a selected compensation near to
zero.
Standard value: ;
Position tolerance
Accepted tolerance for the coil position after coil-movement.
Standard value: 1 %
Search abort
Under some condition the search of the new tuning position respectively the calculation of the I CE is
aborted:
A search cycle with current injection consists of

- calculation of the actual detuning and evaluation of the new desired coil position

REG-DPA a-eberle
- movement of the coil to the new position if necessary
- check after the coil movement if the actual position is within a defined tolerance
If it is not possible to reach the desired coil position within the predefined cycles the search is
aborted and the coil is moved to a predefined position. The type of the predefined position can be
selected via an parameter.
A search cycle without current injection consists of

- Search of increase of the resonance curve by moving the coil
- Movement of the coil for a minimum of dIpos to get acceptable estimation parameters
- Movement of the coil to the final position according to the estimation parameter and the
defined compensation
- Comparison of the measured value of Une at the final position with the estimated value from
the estimation parameters at the actual coil position.
To protect the Petersen-Coil also against continuous movement, which can overstress the
mechanical components, there is also a parameter for a maximal time of coil movement. In the
controller a counter is incremented during an active movement of the coil and is decremented with
the same speed only during the state “tuned”. If the counter exceeds the preseted value the coil is
stopped.

Due to the high current of the current injection ( 10 to 15 A) and the current for the motor of the

This parameter defines the delay for signalling of the earthfault state. The signalling of short transient

Definition of a transient earthfault for the controller: If the network is tuned, the earthfault duration is
less than this defined time and the zero-sequence voltage returns to the same voltage than before
the earth fault, there will be now start of a calculation operation.
If the duration exceeds the preset time, a calculation of the actual tuning is initiated in any case.
Standard value: 7 s
change to MANUAL
During an earthfault the calculation of the resonant point and the moving of the Petersen coil is
switched off. After the end of the earthfault a new calculation of the resonant point and the estimation
of the network-parameter is normally initiated. If this parameter is set, the controller changes from
state 'Automatic' to 'Manual'. Therefore the new search operation after the end of the earthfault is

switched off. For a new tuning the controller must be brought back to the automatic state via SCADA
or by pressing the button 'Automatic'.
Standard value:

In case of an earthfault the actual position of the Petersen Coil can be modified. After the end of the
timer 'Transients faults < ' the Petersen Coil is moved to the new position with consideration of the
type of compensation and the selected value in the table. The values in the table can be selected via
binary inputs and can take in consideration real switching operations in the network for example in

Umax
The following parameters enable to interrupt an ongoing moving operation of the Petersen Coil
during a search operation immediately. In most cases the motor stops, before Une exceeds the Uearth
threshold.
Umax threshold
Definition of the maximal zero-sequence voltage Umax. If Uns respectively Une exceeds this voltage, a
moving of the coil is stopped immediatly. This limit should prevent an earthfault signalisation during
the search operation. Therefore this value should be about 5% less than Uearth .
A value of '0' deactivates the whole Umax-functionality.

The detuning v defines the minimum overcompensation of the network.

Umax defines the maximum value of Une to prevent an earthfault signalisation during the tuning
operation. The value Uned can be exceeded during the search operation. The value of ICE_max
describes the maximum current over the fault location during an earthfault that should not be
exceeded. According to VDE 228 the probability in overhead lines is very high for self distinguishing,
if the current is below this value. For the 110 kV network this value is about 132 A.
The controller searches the minimum position, to fulfil all three boundary values.
This behaviour can be also used for a 'voltage compensation'

Self-extinguishing thr.
This value represents the maximum current for the self-extinguishing of arcs according to VDE 228.
This value is for 10 and 20 kV networks about 60 A and for 110 kV networks about 130 A.

REG-DPA a-eberle
Umin
The following parameter defines the behaviour for very symmetrical networks, especially without
current injection.
If Une is below the Umin threshold the controller searches the whole tuning range of the Petersen Coil
for a value larger than this Umin. If the controller cannot find any peak value above Umin, the controller
moves the coil to a predefined coil position. After a defined time ( 'Message delay') , this situation is
signalled. If there is no change of Une to exceed Umin, the search operation can be restarted
automatically.
In case of using a current injection, a moving of the Petersen Coil is not started. Only a current
injection is started to get new estimation for the network-parameters. The Petersen Coil will be
moved only if the Coil is not at the predefined detuning position.
Umin threshold
Une below this Umin will be treated as disturbances.
Standard value: 0,5 %
End position
Value Description
Home position The P-Coil will be moved to the same position as defined for the
abort in case of exceeding the number of search operations.
Tuning-Pos The P-Coil is moved to the latest successfully tuning position.
Message delay
If there is now voltage change larger than Umin and larger than the Une-threshold during this
'message delay' time the actual situation will be signalled.
A zero value disables this function
New search after … min

If the change in the symmetrical network leads to a new resonant point, which is also near to Umin,
the calculation cycle will never start. Therefore this parameter enables to restart automatically a new
calculation cycle if Une is below Umin. Without current injection CI the coil must search over the whole
tuning range of the P-Coil. In case of using a current injection, this is only a current injection cycle to
get new estimation for the network parameters.
A zero value disables this function
Standard value with CI: 10 min

Standard value without CI: 60 min
change to MANUAL
If this checkbox is selected, the controller changes to 'Manual' mode after reaching the selected
homeposition. For a new tuning operation, the controller must be switched back to 'Automatic' mode
either with SCADA or with the button 'Automatic'
Standard value:

REG-DPA a-eberle
Resistor control
The resistor control is a complete independent task running parallel to the control task for tuning the
Petersen coil. The state 'Manual' or 'Automatic' of the Petersen coil control has no influence to the
resistor control.
Due to the parallel operation, the reachable maximal resolution is about 0,1s. Therefore this resistor
control has some limitations for very fast KNOSPE with a time resolution of less than 0,1s. For
KNOSPE with reduced currents, for example 300 A and time resolutions in the range of 1 s, this
resistor control is a preferred application.
To improve the resistor control, a thermal equivalent of the resistor is calculated as a function of
switching on time and actual Une.
The following figure presents a standard connection of an resistor control.

Fig. 6.11: Principal interpretation of the RC-parameters
The Time T_Trans is the ' Transient faults <' parameter from the parameter set Uearth, Umax, Umin.
The resistor control starts normally after the final recognition of the earthfault with suppression of
transient faults. The duration of the transient faults is defined in the parameter sets of
{Uearth,Umax,Umin}. With the parameter 'Suppression of transients ' this transient delay can be
suppressed, so that T_delay0 starts with the rising edge of the earthfault detection.
T_delay0 is only active, if the resistor is switched on during normal operation. In this case the voltage
Une is less than the Uearth threshold. The RC is in the idle state and waits for the recognition of an
earthfault.
For some requirements the initial value of R_on can be defined (' Idle state at Une < Uearth '). With
this parameter the situations with continued switched on resistor for damping of the unsymmetry
during normal operation can be solved. The parameter T_delay0 defines how long the resistor
should be in the on state after the first recognition of the earthfault.
The first cycle of the RC can be defined with T_delay1 and T_R_on.
The following 'repetition-cycle' can be defined with T_Rdelay2 and T_R_on2. With the parameter
'Repetition cycles' the count n of this repetition-cycle can be defined.
Using different combinations of these parameters the most requirements can be fulfilled.
Warning: Rp_on, Rs1, Rs2, Rs12 can be used only in the ENEL configuration

If activated, the time T_delay0 starts immediately with the recognition of an earthfault. Some
switching operations in the network could start the whole sequence.
Standard value:
Idle state at Une < Uearth

Value Description
OFF During normal operation the resistor is switched off
ON During normal operation the resistor is switched on
Switch-off delay if idle= on

If the resistor is switched on during normal operation to damp the resonance curve, this parameter
defines the time between recognition of the earthfault and the switching off of the resistor to improve
the ability of distinguishing the arc at the fault location.
This time is only used, if the previous parameter 'Idle state at Une<Uearth' is 'ON'.
Standard value: 1s
Blocked after earthfault
Value Description
OFF The resistor automatic is disabled after the end of the earthfault.
ON The resistor automatic is on, but no automatic start of a cyle with the
beginning of the earthfault. The cycle must be started via SCADA or via
the menu.
autom. One cycle is started automatically with the beginning of an earth-fault
Thermal model of resistor

The thermal model uses the value Une to make an estimation of the temperature of the resistor.
The advantage of this thermal model is on one side, that for higher ohmic faults the number of
possible manual triggers is increased. On the other side, if the resistor is to hot and the RC is

REG-DPA a-eberle
blocked to protect the resistor against overheating, the algorithm detects, when the resistor is cooled
down enough for one additionally trigger. In this case the blocking of the RC is removed and one
manual trigger of the RC is enabled. This reduces dramatically the time for the next trigger. The
resistor is not more blocked during the whole cooling time.

Standard value: ;
Switch-on time max

Maximum continuous time, the resistor can be switched in with Une = 100%

If there are problems with the potentiometer, the parameter for the gap can be increased, but during
one of the next services, the potentiometer in the Petersen Coil should be changed
For some situation, the gap can be set to 100%. In this case the controller assumes that no
potentiometer exists and all values must be interpolated. It is not a recommended version, but

possible.
Results of Calibration
The following parameters are results from the coil-calibration. They are only displayed and cannot be
changed by the user
End-switch Low
Value of the potentiometer ratio, where the ‘End-switch Low’ was detected. In case of no end-
switches at this position there was no coil-movement detected for more than 15 s.
End-switch High
Value of the potentiometer ratio, where the ‘End-switch High’ was detected.
Run-time L->H
Operation time, which were needed from the Petersen-Coil to move from the end-switch low to the
end-switch high.
After-running
Time delay expressed in A of the equivalent coil movement from the beginning of an stop-signal to
the Petersen-Coil and detection of no movement of the Petersen-Coil. This parameter is used during
normal operation to improve the reach ability of exact compensation points. Depending on this value
the motor is stopped before the target compensation point.
Lost motion
Due to mechanical play there is difference between the real air-gap of the iron core and the signalled
potentiometer position. This difference depends on the direction of the movement.
The REG-DP evaluates this mechanical play during the commissioning and uses it to compensate
the displayed values during normal operation. The compensation is only working, if the commands to
the Petersen-Coil is generated by the controller. It can not compensate if the coil is moved by the
buttons in front of the Petersen-Coil.
Linearity error
During the commissioning the values of the potentiometer-slider is recorded. Normally this should be
a linear function of the time. The displayed value is the deviation from the linear time interpolation
from the minimum to the maximum coil position. This value should be below 2%. Higher values
indication problems with the potentiometer or with the connection from the controller to the Petersen-
Coil.

REG-DPA a-eberle
Linearization Table
One item of the calibration operation is the linearization of the Petersen-Coil. During this operation
the nonlinear function of the coil-current from the air-gap due to the nonlinear magnetization is
measured and transferred in this table. These values are used by the controller to compensate the
nonlinearity for the display, transfer over 20 mA transducers and for the serial transfer to SCADA
systems.
Fix-Coil
The information of the fix-coil is used to calculate the capacitive current of the whole network.
This information is also necessary if the calculation of the desired compensation is using the relative
compensation.
If there is no information on the external fix-coils, it is easier to use the absolute compensation.
Depending of the parameter ‘Use fix-coil value’ the predefined or the measured value and quality
factor of the fix-coil is used.

REG-DPA a-eberle
Fix-Coil control
If the tuning range of the Petersen-Coil is to small it depends on this parameter, if the controller is
allowed to switch on / off an additionally fix-coil.
Value Description
OFF The fix-coil will never switched on by the controller.
ON The fix-coil is always switched on, from the controller
AUTO The controller is allowed to switch on/off the fix-coil according to the
requirements to reach the compensation point.

Current Injection (CI) +CI
Some values are measured directly by the current injection controller. The connection to the CCI is
via an isolated RS485 and it is not necessary to transfer all values in analogues to the REG-DP.
Parameter sets
The size and frequency of the injected current can be set to different values for the following states:
- Manual current injection
- Calculation with current injection
- Continuous current injection
- External CI request ( from MCI for example)
Additionally the maximal zero-sequence-voltage due to the injected current can be set. The injected current
is limited by the controller in such a way, that the zero-sequence voltage does not exceed the preset value.
This occurs according the following equation:
uen < U en _ max 2
For each state the following parameters can be defined:
Frequency

REG-DPA a-eberle
Value Description
-6 Two frequencies 25Hz 75Hz
-8 Two frequencies 33.3Hz 66.7Hz
-10 Two frequencies 41.7Hz 58.3Hz
-11 Two frequency 45.8Hz 54.2Hz
12 One frequency 50 Hz
11 Three frequencies 45.8Hz 50 Hz 54.2Hz
6 Three frequencies 25Hz 50 Hz 75Hz
Current
Ratio of the maximal injected current.
This current depends on the number of installed current-limiting coils in the motor drive.
maximum Une during CI
Due to the current injection the zero-sequence voltage is increased, respectively modulated. To
prevent the earth fault detection for tripping, the maximum of une is supervised and if necessary the
current injection reduced.
maximum dUne during CI
The previous parameter takes care on the maximal absolute value of Une due to the current
injection. This parameter takes care on the maximal relative change of Une due to the current
injection.
The assignment for the voltages and currents is free. For a better resolution for lower values an additional
jumper is implemented.

8 Background Programming REG-L
8.1 The programming language REG-L

The programming language REG-L (REG-Language) has been especially developed for the requirements of
the voltage regulation system REGSys with the aim to offer a simple line-orientated dialogue language.
Meanwhile, the REG-L has been expanded by commands for other devices like
¾ REG-DP(A) (earth fault compensation controller; DAN)

¾ EOR-DM ( earthfault detection system for up to 40 feeders; MCI)
¾ EOR-D ( earthfault detection relay for 4 feeders with four different detection algorithm)
The language leans on the programming languages Forth and BASIC which had been developed for a fast
close-to-the-machine control. Forth permits a simple summary of command series to new commands. Forth
uses the “Reversed Polnish Notation” (UPN) which is well-known from the scientific HP-calculators.
The programming of the REGSys and EDcSys devices may be made by any ASCII - terminal. The
programme lines are edited as text in the device and stored by <Return> when all is typed in.
The programme lines are read from the interpreter in the device and worked through cyclically in the
'background'.
The list of REG-L commands can be readout with any ASCII terminal.

10 Maintenance and Current Consumption
10.1 Cleaning information

The surface of the device can be cleaned with a dry cloth at any time.
If the inside becomes dirty due to improper use, it is recommended that you send the device back to the manufacturer.
If a large amount of dust has accumulated on the terminal blocks, the insulator coordination could fail. Dust particles are
generally hygroscopic and can bridge creepage distances.
For this reason we recommend operating the device with the doors closed. Furthermore, in dusty environments it is
particularly important to ensure that the cable connections are correctly mounted.
10.2 Changing fuses

Caution!
It is essential that the REG-DA voltage regulator is disconnected from the power supply before changing
fuses!
Required fuse: T2L 250 V, 2 A microfuse
A replacement fuse can be found in the plastic container at the bottom of the housing.

10.3 Changing battery
Caution!
Before changing the battery it is essential that the REG-DPOA voltage regulator
is disconnected from the power supply!!
Required battery: Lithium 3 V with soldering tags

Type SANYO CR 14250 SE (3 V)
Service life: instorage > 6 years

when in operation with a switch-on duration > 50 % > 10 years
We recommend having the battery changed in the factory.
If for certain reasons this is not possible, the following precautionary measures should be carried out: all the parameters
should be saved using WinREG, the recorder should be read out and the log book and the statistics unit should be
backed up.
Battery
The battery holder should then be removed and the connection plug should be unplugged.
The new battery can now be inserted and the device can be closed again. The steps listed above should then be carried
out in the reverse order.

10.5 Replacing the device
If a REG-DA voltage regulator must be replaced, the device must first be disassembled.
If the device is defective, we recommend sending it to the company headquarters together with a short description of the
fault.
An Allen key is provided so that the disassembly can be carried out easily. It can be used to loosen the flange plate on
the bottom of the device.
After undoing the four screws, the flange plate can be shifted approximately 5 mm to the left, so that the entire wiring
including the connector blocks can be removed through the bottom of the device.
A replacement device can then replace the defective one and can be put into operation within a few minutes.
10.6 Storage Information

The devices should be stored in clean, dry rooms. The devices and their respective replacement modules can be stored
between -25 °C and +65 °C.
The relative humidity must not cause the formation of either condensation or ice.
We recommend that the storage temperature remains within the temperature range -10 °C to +55 °C to ensure that the
built-in electrolytic capacitor does not age prematurely.
We also recommend that the device be connected to an auxiliary voltage every two years to reform the electrolytic
capacitors. This procedure should also be carried out before the device is put into operation. Under extreme climatic
conditions (tropics), this also simultaneously ensures “pre-heating” and helps to avoid the formation of condensation.
The device should be stored in the service room for at least two hours prior to being connected to the voltage for the first
time so that it can become accustomed to the ambient temperature there and to avoid the formation of moisture and
condensation.
