INSTALLATION

General considerations Protective relays, although generally of robust construction, require careful treatment prior to installation on site. Upon receipt, relays should be examined immediately, to ensure no damage has been sustained in transit. When handling a relay, great care must be taken, particularly when the relay is removed from its case. Touching the printed circuit board should be avoided, since metal oxide semiconductor (mos) devices are used, which can be damaged by electrostatic discharges. If damage has been sustained in transit, a claim should be made to the transport contractors and AREVA T&D Limited should be promptly notified. Relays which are supplied unmounted and are not intended for immediate installation should be returned to their protective polythene bags.

1.2

Relay mounting Relays are despatched either individually or as part of a panel/rack mounting assembly. If the relays are to be installed into a panel/rack assembly after receipt, then construction details can be found in Publication R-7012. For individually mounted relays an outline diagram is normally supplied showing panel cut-outs and hole centres, these dimensions will also be found in Publication R-6102.

1.3

Unpacking Care must be taken when unpacking and installing the relays to avoid damage and they must at all times be handled by skilled persons only. The installation should be clean, dry and reasonably free from dust and excessive vibration. The site should be well lit to facilitate inspection. Relays which have been removed from their cases should not be left in situations where they are exposed to dust or damp. This particularly applies to installations which are being carried out at the same time as construction work.

1.4

Storage If relays are not installed immediately upon receipt they should be stored in a place free from dust and moisture in their original cartons and where de-humidifier bags have been included in the packing they should be retained. The action of the de-humidifier crystals will be impaired if the bag has been exposed to ambient conditions and may be restored by gently heating the bag for about an hour, prior to replacing it in the carton. Dust which collects on a carton may, on subsequent unpacking, find its way into the relay; in damp conditions the carton and unpacking may become impregnated with moisture and the de-humidifying agent will lose its efficiency. Storage temperature 25C to +70C.

2.1

COMMISSIONING

Electrostatic discharges (esd) The relay uses components which are sensitive to electrostatic discharges. When handling the module, care should be taken to avoid contact with components and electrical connections. When removed from the case for storage, the module should be placed in an electrically conducting anti-static bag. Full handling guidelines are given inside the front cover of this manual.

2.2

Inspection Carefully examine the module and case to see that no damage has occurred during transit. Check that the relay serial numbers on the module, case and cover are identical, and that the model number and rating information are correct. Carefully remove any elasticbands/packing fitted for transportation purposes.

2.3

Wiring Check that the external wiring is correct to the relevant relay diagram or scheme diagram. The relay diagram number appears inside the case. Particular attention should be paid to the correct wiring and value of any external resistors indicated on the wiring/relay rating information. Note that the shorting switches on the relay diagram are fitted internally across the relevant case terminals and close when the module is withdrawn. It is essential that such switches are fitted across all ct circuits. If test block type MMLG is provided, the connections should be checked to the scheme diagram, particularly that the supply connections are to the live side of the test block (coloured orange) and with terminals allocated with odd numbers (1, 3, 5, 7 etc.). The auxiliary supply voltage to the scheme should be routed via test block terminals 13 and 15.

2.4

Earthing Ensure that the case earthing connection above the rear terminal block, is used to connect the relay to the local earth bar.

2.5

Insulation The relay and its associated wiring may be insulation tested between: (i) all electrically isolated circuits. (ii) all circuits and earth. An electronic or brushless insulation tester should be used, having a dc voltage not exceeding 1000V. Accessible terminals of the same circuit should be first strapped together. Deliberate circuit earthing links, removed for the tests, subsequently must be replaced.

2.6

Electrical tests DANGER: DO NOT OPEN CIRCUIT THE SECONDARY CIRCUIT OF A CURRENT TRANSFORMER SINCE THE HIGH VOLTAGE PRODUCED MAY BE LETHAL AND COULD DAMAGE INSULATION.

Page 4

When type MMLG test block facilities are installed, it is important that the sockets in the type MMLB01 test plug, which correspond to the current transformer secondary windings, are LINKED BEFORE THE TEST PLUG IS INSERTED INTO THE TEST BLOCK. Similarly, a MMLB02 single finger test plug must be terminated with an ammeter BEFORE IT IS INSERTED to monitor ct secondary currents. The instructions have been written assuming that not all schemes are fitted with a test block . Where a test block is used, the procedure is generally correct, however, it will be necessary to determine the test block terminals for applying the voltages and monitoring relay operation from the scheme drawing. MMLB multi-way test plug, for MMLG test block (where fitted). Multi-range ammeter. Short (8") leads with 4mm plugs at each end: up to 26, ie.13 for each line may be needed. When the protection scheme incorporates pilot supervision, there will be a MRTP 01 or MRTP 03 relay provided at the local line end and a MRTP 02 relay at the remote line end. When correctly connected and energised from the appropriate ac voltage the relay will inject a dc supervision supply across a capacitor in series with the pilots. For 5kV pilots the capacitor is in the MRTP 01 relay, for 15kV pilots a MRTP 03 relay is used with the capacitor housed with the 15kV isolating transformer. The commissioning instruction for both types are given below, firstly for the 5kV version. 2.6.1 2.6.2 2.6.3 2.6.4 Monitor the current which should flow in the pilot using a dc milli-ammeter. Apply the appropriate ac supply for the supervision circuit, and the normal dc supply. Note the reading on the dc milli-ammeter. This current should be approximately 1.2mA dc and is the current flowing in the pilots. On the MRTP 01 and MRTP 03 relays there are three red led indicators and a green led indicator. The latter is primarily intended as an aid during the setting of the adjustable resistor marked SET (see 2.6.6 to 2.6.8). The top red led is to indicate failure of the ac supervision supply. The middle red led indicator is to indicate pilot fail open circuit whilst the lower one is to indicate pilot fail short circuit. If any of these indicators are operated, resetting should be attempted by pressing the reset button. Assuming that ac and dc supplies are present, the ac supervision supply fail indicator should reset when the reset push button is pressed. Failure to reset is almost invariably due to the absence of correct ac or dc supplies. 2.6.5 2.6.6 The pilot fail indicators may be in the operated or reset state but in both conditions set the adjustable resistor as detailed in the following tests. The adjustable resistor is changed by the use of a small screwdriver through a hole in the front plate marked SET. There is a worm drive to the resistor so that a large number of complete turns (approx. 25) is needed to completely adjust the resistor. To facilitate the setting of the pilot supervision there is a test push button which if depressed reduces the supervision band width inside which the pilots are considered healthy. If it is considered desirable to monitor the position of the normally open contact of the pilot fail relay, connect a multimeter across terminals 1 & 3 or 2 & 4, whichever
Page 5

2.6.7

is more convenient. The meter must be suitably set either to measure volts if the circuits are live or to measure ohms if there are no other connections to the terminals. 2.6.8 2.6.8.1 Adjust as follows: With the screwdriver engaging the worm drive of the SET resistor, turn it clockwise for 30 complete turns. The pilot fail open circuit red led indicator should now be operated, the green led lit and the contacts closed. If the green led is out and the contacts open, check that the dc and ac supplies are present. Turn the screwdriver anti-clockwise until either the green led goes out and the contacts open and the worm drive has been turned 30 complete turns. In the latter case, where the contacts have not opened, confirm that test 2.6.3 is definitely satisfactory (a low dc current in the pilots indicates that the pilot resistance is much higher than the limit of 1000 ohms) also check the dc supply. If both these checks are satisfactory, reference should be made to the fault finding instructions. Reset the pilot fail circuit red led. Depress the test button (which closes the supervision zone) the green led should come on. With the test button held depressed, slowly turn the screwdriver anticlockwise until the green led extinguishes. Release the test button Depress the test button again, the green led should not illuminate. Release the test button. The pilot supervision is now correctly set. Replace the relay cover and press the reset button. It is advisable to check that if the pilots are open circuit that the green led comes on instantaneously and the pilot fail open circuit indicator operates after approximately 10 seconds. After restoring the pilots to normal reset the pilot fail open circuit indicator. Check that if the pilots are short circuit, the green led comes on instantaneously and the pilot fail short circuit indicator operates after approximately 10 seconds. After restoring the pilots to normal, reset the pilot fail short circuit indicator. Confirm that removal of ac supply operates the supervision supply fail indicator after a delay of approximately 10 seconds. Approximately 5 seconds after restoration of the ac supply it should be possible to reset the supervision supply fail indicator. This completes the tests on the supervision module. Disconnect the milli-ammeter from the pilots and restore pilot connections. 2.6.9 Where external matching/isolating transformers are used, the injection filters (comprising a capacitor, bridge rectifier and resistors) are assembled as part of the transformers. The ac output from the MRTP 03 is taken from the rear terminals of the relay into a supervision isolating transformer and then to the injection filter on the isolating transformer. The supervision unit therefore supervises the pilots between the isolating transformers and each line end. It would not be satisfactory if there were any further isolating transformers in the pilot circuit since supervision relies on the circulation of dc around the complete pilot loop. The testing procedure is generally similar to that described above except that the dc milli-ammeter will need to be connected directly in series with the pilots, between the isolating transformers at each line end.

MAINTENANCE

Periodic maintenance is not necessary. However, periodic inspection and test is recommended. Routine testing of the relay can be performed by the secondary injection method, as detailed in the commissioning instructions. During testing, the led indicators should be checked for operation. Operation of the relay contacts should coincide with the respective led indicator illuminating. Check that operation is clean with no tendency to stick. Check also that the flag can be reset using the reset push button mounted in the relay cover. Removal of the relay from its case. To remove the relay from its case, loosen the cover nuts and remove the cover. The relay can now be slid out of the case by pulling on the handles. Miniature printed circuit mounted relay The pcb mounted hinged armature relay should not require any maintenance and unless the unit is not operating correctly it should be left undisturbed. The operation of the relay may be checked during routine injection tests. The pcb mounted hinged armature relay cannot be repaired. If it is not operating correctly the complete unit must be replaced. Where possible we recommend the complete module is returned to AREVA T&D for repair.

Repair and replacements

Section 4

PROBLEM ANALYSIS

The supervision circuit supplies an ac voltage to the injection filter, which then rectifies the ac and feeds the resulting dc into the pilot circuit. The injection filter could fail resulting in open circuit pilots, which would also cause the differential relay to operate incorrectly, otherwise any failure will only cause incorrect fault indication. It is recommended that printed circuit boards are replaced as a whole and that no attempt should be made to remove and replace components on a printed circuit board. This preserves the coating on the printed circuit boards, and prevents any damage to the coating due to soldering etc. For the above reason, the fault finding instructions do not go into detailed instructions to fault find to component level. NOTE: The MRTP 01 contains both the supervision circuits and injection filter. They can be tested separately by reference to the appropriate section. 4.1 4.1.1 DC circuits Apply dc voltage as stated below via a dc milli-ammeter meter to case terminals 13 and 14 or TP10 and TP9, if any red led is illuminated press the reset push button, if any led remains illuminated the printed circuit board is faulty. Neither RL4 or RL5

Page 7

should operate for at least 6 seconds from application of the dc supply. The current drawn from the supply without RL4 or RL5 operated is: Auxiliary Voltage Rated 30/34V 48/54V 110/125V Table 4.1 If this current is not obtained, the printed circuit board is faulty. 4.1.2 Leave the dc voltage applied. After 6 to 10 seconds the supply fail relay RL5 should operate, the current will increase to: Auxiliary Voltage Rated 30/34V 48/54V 110/125V Table 4.2 If this current is not obtained, or the relay fails to operate check the timer circuit, Section 4.1.4. If the relay RL5 operates immediately the dc is applied, the printed circuit board is faulty. 4.1.3 Apply rated ac voltage to case terminals 27 and 28. Check the supply fail relay resets. The current drawn by the relay should be as given in Table 4.1. Check the supply fail led maybe reset. After approximately 5 seconds the pilot fail relay should pick up and the pilot fail open circuit led should illuminate. The current taken by the relay should be as indicated in Table 4.2. Probable areas of a fault are: 4.1.3.1 4.1.3.2 4.1.3.3 If the supply fail relay fails to drop off, then T2 or the ac circuit on the printed circuit board are faulty. If the supply fail relay operates correctly, but the pilot fail relay does not, the fault is in either the pilot fail relay, T3 or the ac circuit on the printed circuit board. If both relays operate correctly the fault is in either T3 or the ac circuits on the printed circuit board. Applied 30V 50V 125V 100mA 70mA 50mA Current Applied 30V 50V 125V 10mA 20mA 20mA Current

With rated ac applied, measure the voltage on TP2 and TP3, this should be approximately 58V. If this value is obtained the fault is in the measuring circuit. Disconnect the secondary of T2 from the printed circuit board measure the secondary voltage on the wires from the transformer; this should be approximately 58V. If this value is obtained the fault is in the measuring circuits. T3 With rated ac applied, measure the ac voltage on TP3 and TP4, this should be approximately 30V. If this value is obtained the fault is in T3 or the injection filter, if fitted. Disconnect the primary of T3 from the printed circuit board and repeat test 4.2.2.1. The value measured should still be approximately 30V. If it is not, the printed circuit board is faulty. Injection filter (MRTP 01 and MRTP 02) For MRTP 01 relays, if the fault is located in T3 or the injection filter, the connections between the secondary of T3 and the injection filter rectifier bridge must be broken, and the tests below performed to prove the injection filter.

4.3

4.3.1

Apply 20V at rated frequency to case terminals 19 and 20. Connect a dc milli-ammeter to case terminals 17 (+ve) and 18. The reading should be 2.3 to 2.9mA. If the current is low the fault is either a short circuit in one of the capacitors, an open circuit in the resistor or the bridge rectifier. If the current is high the resistor is faulty or has been shorted.

4.3.2

Replace the dc milli-ammeter with a dc voltmeter and repeat 4.3.1. The reading should be 25-30 volts. If the voltage is low either the rectifier is faulty, the resistor is open circuit or one of the capacitors is leaking.

4.3.3

Disconnect the ac supply from terminals 19 and 20 and inject 100mA at rated frequency into terminals 17 and 18. Measure the ac voltage across terminals 17 and 18, this should be between 5 and 8V.

Page 9

If the voltage is less than 5V, then one of the 3 parallel capacitors is leaky. If the voltage is greater than 8V one of the capacitors is open circuit. 4.3.4 Repeat test 4.3.2 measuring the voltage across the dc terminals of the bridge rectifier; this should be approximately 27V. If the voltage is less than 27V the bridge rectifier is faulty. 4.3.5 Measure the value of R1, this should be 10k ohms.

Section 5

SPARES

When ordering spare parts, the serial number and full model number of the relay should be included with the order. Repairs Should the need arise for the equipment to be returned to AREVA T&D Ltd. for repair, then the form at the back of this manual should be completed and sent with the equipment together with a copy of any commissioning test results.

Section 6

CALIBRATION AND TEST

It is not necessary to calibrate the relay after replacement of any part other than the printed circuit board. If the printed board is at fault the complete relay should be returned toAREVA T&D Ltd. The relay should be commissioned before being put back into service.
