3.1 Overview
PCS-915 provides busbar differential protection (BBP), bus coupler/section protection (includes
overcurrent protection, switch-onto-fault protection, pole disagreement protection, end zone fault
protection and breaker failure protection), feeder breaker failure protection, CT circuit supervision
and VT circuit supervision.
The device can support several busbar arrangements, such as double-busbar arrangement,
single-busbar arrangement and single busbar with single bus section arrangement. The switch
method of each busbar arrangement is listed as below:
System settings
En_SingleBB
En_SingleBB_with_SingleBS
Double-busbar
Single-busbar
Single busbar with single bus section
Busbar arrangement
Please refer to Section 7.1 about detailed description of each system setting. For single busbar
with bus section arrangement, the system setting [Cfg_DS_BBx] (x=1, 2) is used to indicate which
busbar zone the feeder is connected to.
The device has 2 plug-in modules (protection DSP module and fault detector DSP module) to
perform calculation. The protection DSP module is responsible for calculation of protection
elements, and fault detector DSP module is responsible for calculation of fault detectors. Any fault
detector of fault detector DSP module picks up to provide positive supply of output relays. The
relays will trip only if the fault detector and the corresponding protection element operate
simultaneously. On the premise of 24 samples per cycle, all data measurement, calculation and
logic discrimination can be processed within one sampling period. The event recording and
protection logic calculation are completed simultaneously.
The following figure shows double busbars arrangement and application mode.

3.2 Busbar Differential Protection

In order to be easy to explain the protection function and scheme, the first busbar is defined as
busbar No.1 (BB1) and the second busbar is defined as busbar No.2 (BB2). In the case of project
application, the number of each busbar can be set based on on-site case. The polarity marking of
feeder CT should be on the busbar side and the polarity of BC CT should be on the BB1 side.

Note!
The protective device only identifies the physical position of busbar, ignoring the number of
busbar, takes the busbar arrangement in Figure 3.2-1 as an example, the protective device
will refer the busbar of which the polarity of BC CT is towards as BB1.
The primary protection of PCS-915 is phase-segregated percentage restraint differential
protection. The differential circuits include check zone differential circuit and discriminating zone
differential circuits of each busbar zone. The check zone differential element is used to distinguish
between internal and external fault of the overall busbar system, it measures the current from all
the circuits connected to the busbar system except BC and BS. The discriminating zone
differential elements are used to select faulty zone by measuring the current of all the circuits
connected to individual zones of the busbar system separated by BC and BS.
Discriminating zone No.1 is defined as discriminating differential element of BB1. Discriminating
zone No.2 is defined as discriminating differential element of BB2.
3.2.1 Fault detector (FD) element
PCS-915 provides three independent FD elements for busbar differential protection, which are
DPFC voltage FD element, DPFC current FD element and differential current FD element. If any of
these three elements picks up, the positive supply to the output relays is then available and wait
for the tripping signal from busbar differential protection. The fault detector output signal will last
for 500ms after the corresponding fault detector element drop off.
1.
DPFC voltage FD element
When DPFC voltage of any phase of any busbar is larger than the threshold, DPFC voltage FD
element picks up, the operating criterion is:
u>UFloat+0.05Un
Equation 3.2-1
Where:
u: Instantaneous value of phase-to-phase DPFC voltage
UFloat: Float threshold value, automatically varied with the gradually voltage changing
0.05Un: Fixed threshold value, Un is the rated secondary phase-to-ground voltage.
If voltage is not sampled or VT circuit failure is detected, DPFC voltage FD element will quit
automatically.
2.
DPFC current FD element
If DPFC check zone restraint current is larger than the threshold, DPFC current fault detector
element will operate, the operating criterion is:
si>SIFloat+0.5In
Equation 3.2-2

Where:
si: Instantaneous value of DPFC check zone restraint current of any phase (scalar sum of current
change of all circuits/bays for check zone)
SIFloat: Float threshold value, automatically varied with the gradually current changing

3.
Differential current FD element
When any phase of the check zone differential current is larger than the setting, this element will
operate. The operating criterion is:

Figure 3.2-2 Operation characteristic of steady-state percentage restraint differential element
To enhance the sensitivity of steady-state check zone differential element for a fault occurred in
the weak source bus zone when the BC breaker is open, dual restraint coefficients [0.5, 0.3] and
[0.6, 0.5] are adopted for steady-state check zone and discriminating zones respectively.
When one of the following conditions is fulfilled, the busbar steady-state percentage restraint
differential protection will operate.
1.
Steady-state check zone differential element with high restraint coefficient (0.5) operates and
steady-state discriminating zone differential element with low restraint coefficient (0.5)
operates.
2.
Steady-state check zone differential element with low restraint coefficient (0.3) operates and
steady-state discriminating zone differential element with high restraint coefficient (0.6)
operates.
DPFC percentage differential element
The DPFC percentage restraint differential element is adopted to enhance the performance of
busbar protection against high impedance fault and the influence of heavy loading condition. The
busbar DPFC differential protection is formed by DPFC percentage restraint differential element
and steady-state check zone percentage restraint differential element with fixed restraint
coefficient 0.2.

Similar to steady-state percentage restraint differential element, dual restraint coefficients are also
introduced to DPFC differential element. The restraint coefficients are fixed at [0.65, 0.3] and [0.65,
0.5] for DPFC check zone and discriminating zones respectively.
When the steady-state check zone percentage restraint differential element with fixed restraint
coefficient of 0.2 operates, if one of the following conditions is fulfilled, the busbar DPFC
percentage restraint differential protection will operate.
1.
DPFC check zone percentage restraint differential element with high restraint coefficient (0.65)
operates and DPFC discriminating zone percentage restraint differential element with low

3.2.3 Voltage controlled element of busbar differential protection (VCE_BBP)

Voltage controlled element is used as an auxiliary condition.
The operating criteria are:
UP [V_UV_VCE_BBP]
Equation 3.2-6
3U0 [V_ROV_VCE_BBP]
Equation 3.2-7

[V_ROV_VCE_BBP]: Residual voltage setting for blocking BBP
[V_NegOV_VCE_BBP]: Negative sequence voltage setting for blocking BBP
Busbar differential protection is always blocked by voltage control element. Busbar differential
protection can not operate to trip faulty busbar zone unless the voltage of corresponding busbar
zone met any of above criterions.
When the protective device is applied to an unearthed system, i.e. the system setting
[Opt_UnearthedSys_Mode] is set as 1, the criteria of voltage control element will be changed.

Where:
UPP: Phase-to-phase voltage

[V_NegOV_VCE_BBP]: Negative voltage setting for blocking BBP
3.2.4 Faulty busbar zone discrimination
The check zone differential element calculates the current from all circuits connected to the entire
busbar system except BC and BS to distinguish between internal and external fault. The
discriminating zone differential elements calculate the current of all the circuits connected to
individual zones via replica image of disconnector position to determine faulty zone.
When the operation criterion of check zone differential element (steady-state check zone
differential element is supervised by CT saturation detector 2 and DPFC check zone differential
element is supervised by CT saturation detector 1, to be described in the following section) and
any discriminating zone differential element is fulfilled, VCE_BBP of any busbar operates, the
busbar differential protection will operate to trip all bays connected to the faulty busbar.
The protection has a feature of inter-connection operation mode, the feature will be effective
automatically under the following conditions.
1. The binary input [EBI_IntLink_Mode] is energized or the virtual enable binary input
[VEBI_IntLink_Mode] is set as 1, it should be done when two bus zones are coupled together
and unable to detach for a particular system operation condition.
2. On-load transfer condition (when two busbar disconnectors of one feeder are closed at the
3-7

same time).
Under the inter-connection operation mode, the discriminating zone differential elements measure
the current signals are the same as that of check zone differential element. The coupled busbars
will be tripped simultaneously when there is a fault.
3.2.5 Backup busbar differential elements
If only the check zone percentage restraint differential element (supervised by CT saturation
detector 2) operates, two stages of backup protection with fixed time delay are applied to trip the
corresponding circuit breakers. Stage 1 of backup protection will trip BC/BS (when VCE of any
busbar operates) and the feeders of which CT correction coefficient is not zero and does not have
disconnector position after 240ms. Stage 2 of backup protection will trip the feeders connected to
the busbar of which voltage clocking has been released and the feeders with current larger than
2*In (In: the rated secondary current of reference CT) after 480ms.
3.2.6 Detection of CT saturation
Two detectors are used to prevent unwanted tripping caused by severe CT saturation during
external close up fault. If the differential current is determined to be caused by CT saturation, the
device will block busbar differential protection to prevent mal-operation.
CT saturation detector 1
When DPFC voltage or current FD element operates, the adaptive weighted algorithm for CT
saturation detector will be activated. In case of busbar fault occurs, DPFC differential element will
operate almost at the same time with DPFC voltage FD element or DPFC current FD element,
whereas for external fault, DPFC differential element will not operate before CT saturation at the
fault incipient stage, it will only operate after DPFC voltage element and DPFC current element in
case CT is saturated. Adaptive weighted algorithm for CT saturation detector is derived from the
difference of operating time among these DPFC elements. In coordination with DPFC differential
element, it has performed excellently to distinguish between internal and external fault with CT
saturation.
CT saturation detector 2
Harmonic restraint element is used in CT saturation detector 2 by analyzing the waveforms of

differential current harmonics. The detector enables the busbar differential element to remain
stable for an external fault with CT saturation while to maintain fast tripping for the external fault
evolved to internal fault on the same phase.
The blocking signal of CT saturation detector 2 will only last for 500ms. After that the busbar
differential element is released to operate for complicated fault conditions and minimized affected
area. In practical cases, CT transient saturation will not be more than 500ms.

Figure 3.2-3 Waveform of CT saturation during external fault
Above figure shows the current waveforms recorded in dynamic simulation with heavy CT
saturation during external phase-to-phase fault. Protection stability is well achieved in this extreme
case.
3.2.7 External Block Signal
PCS-915 provides a binary input [BI_Blk_BBP] to block BBP through external binary signal. If the
logic setting [En_BI_Blk_BBP] is set as 1, BBP will be blocked if the binary input [BI_Blk_BBP] is
energized. However, if the binary input [BI_Blk_BBP] is energized for longer than 1 second,
PCS-915 will issue an alarm [Alm_Blk_BBP] and the blocking for BBP is released.

3.3 Bus Coupler/Section (BC/BS) Protection

PCS-915 provides switch-onto-fault protection, breaker failure protection, end zone fault protection,
pole discrepancy protection and overcurrent protection for BC/BS.
3.3.1 BC/BS switch-onto-fault (SOTF) protection
After any busbar has been maintained and before being put into operation, it is needed to close
BC/BS and make the energizing test firstly. During the energizing process, if any fault occurs in the
energized busbar, SOTF protection will operate to trip BC/BS to clear the fault.
SOTF protection will be enabled for 300ms if any of the following conditions is met.
1.
The status of the binary input [BI_52b_BC] changes from 1 to 0.
2.
The binary input [BI_52b_BC] is energized and BC current changes from being smaller than
0.04IN to being greater than 0.04IN.
3.
The binary input [BI_52b_BC] is energized and BB1 and BB2 are in service.

3.3.3 BC/BS breaker failure protection (BFP)
When tripping signal has been delivered to BC/BS breaker, while the breaker is failed to open
since the BC/BS current is still larger than the setting [I_BFP_BC] with a specific time delay, BFP
will operate to trip all feeders connected to both busbars with the time delay of [t_TrpBB_BFP_BC].
BC/BS breaker failure protection is blocked by voltage controlled element of BBP (Please refer to
Section 3.2.3).
There are several options to initiate BFP:

3.3.4 BC/BS end zone fault protection
If a fault occurs between BC/BS breaker and BC/BS CT, the fault can not be cleared after busbar
on the breaker side is tripped. In order to clear the fault quickly, a dedicated end zone fault
protection is provided.
After busbar differential protection sends the command to trip BC/BS, if the BC/BS breaker has
been tripped but the BC/BS current is detected, the end zone fault protection will operate and the
BC/BS current will be excluded from discriminative zone percentage differential circuit with a time
delay of 150ms.
If both busbars are in service and BC/BS breaker is open, in order to prevent both busbars from
being tripped during end fault, the BC/BS current will be excluded from discriminative zone
percentage differential circuit in this case.

3.4 Feeder breaker Failure Protection (BFP)

Breaker failure protection is available for each feeder. When a breaker is determined failed to trip,
the breaker failure protection will trip BC/BS after time delay of [t_TrpBC_BFP] and all feeders
after time delay of [t_TrpBB_BFP].
3.4.1 Initiation contact
For each bay, BFP can be initiated externally via binary inputs by phase-segregated tripping
contacts or three-phase tripping contacts of protective device for the corresponding bay.
1.
Phase-segregated tripping contact
[BI_A_BFI_Bayxx]: The binary input for initiating BFP of phase A

[BI_B_BFI_Bayxx]: The binary input for initiating BFP of phase B

xx=04~13, 16~25.
2.
Three-phase tripping contact
[BI_BFI_Bayxx]: The binary input for initiating BFP of three phases.

xx=02~25.
It is recommended that main transformer should be connected to the bays that only have the
dedicated opto-coupler used by three-phase tripping contact (bay 02, 03, 14, 15). For each bay
that main transformer is connected, a binary input for releasing voltage blocking element
[BI_Rls_VCE_BBP_Trans] is provided. For a transformer, when a fault occurs at the low-voltage
side but the breaker of the high-voltage side fails, the voltage condition of HV side busbar maybe
not met, so the other tripping contact can be connected to the the binary input
[BI_Rls_VCE_BBP_Trans] to release voltage blocking element.
If the bay is tripped by BBP, the breaker failure protection of this bay will be initiated.
For the bay that main transformer is connected, BFP operates can initiate intertripping to trip
breakers of other sides of the main transformer.
3.4.2 Current criterion
1.
Current criterion 1
Phase current is greater than the setting [I_OC_BFP_Bayxx]

2.
Current criterion 2
Residual current is greater than the setting [I_ROC_BFP_Bayxx]

3.
Current criterion 3
Negative sequence current is greater than the setting i.e. [I_NegOC_BFP_Bayxx]

3.4.3 Voltage control element of breaker failure protection(VCE)
Voltage control element is used as an auxiliary condition.
The criteria are:
UP[V_UV_VCE_BFP]

3.5 Identification of disconnector position

In a substation with double busbars layout, feeders may be switched from one busbar to the other
busbar during operation, and it is necessary to identify real time topology of the busbar correctly.
Disconnector positions are adopted for this identification and self-diagnosis is carried out
3-19

3 Operation Theory
simultaneously. If there is current flowing in a bay but the bay has no disconnector positions for
dual busbars, the protective device can remember the original disconnector position. An
abnormality of disconnector position is detected and disconnector position alarms [Alm_DS_Bayxx]
will be issued with a specific time delay in any of the following cases (xx: from 02 to 25).
1.
Disconnector position is changed. The operator should check it and confirm whether it is
correct. The alarm can be reset by energizing the binary input [BI_ConfirmDS].
2.
If both disconnectors to BB1 and BB2 of a bay are closed, an alarm signal [Alm_IntLink] will
be issued. The alarm can not be reset by energizing the binary input [BI_ConfirmDS].
3.
There is current detected in a bay but the bay has no disconnector positions for dual busbars.
The alarm can not be reset by energizing the binary input [BI_ConfirmDS]. In this case, the
protective device can remember the original disconnector position of the bay, and check its
validity based on the current distribution of system.
4.
If discriminating zone differential current is greater than 0.04IN due to the wrong disconnector
position, an alarm will be issued with a time delay and the device can identify the right
disconnector position based on the current distribution of system.
Besides, in order to prevent the feeder from missing-operation because the bay has no
disconnector position, no matter which busbar zone does the fault occur in, the bays whose CT
correction coefficient is not zero but no disconnector position can be detected will be tripped.
Note!
When disconnector position alarm is issued, the operator must check the actual condition
at first and then energize the binary input [BI_ConfirmDS] to reset the alarm if it is correct.
Usually a button on the panel is provided, pressing the button will result in energizing the
binary input [BI_ConfirmDS].
3.6 VT Circuit Supervision

1.
If three times busbar negative sequence voltage (3U2) is larger than 0.2UN (UN: the secondary
rated phase-to-ground voltage of VT), an alarm [Alm_VTS_BB1] or [Alm_VTS_BB2] will be
issued with a time delay of 1.25s.
2.
If any busbar is in service and the sum of the amplitude of busbar three-phase voltage
(|UA|+|UB|+|UC|) is smaller than UN, an alarm [Alm_VTS_BB1] or [Alm_VTS_BB2] will be
issued with a time delay of 1.25s.
3.
When the logic setting [Opt_UnearthedSys_Mode] is set as 1, if three times busbar negative
sequence voltage (3U2) is greater than 0.2UN or any phase-to-phase voltage is smaller than
0.7UN_PP (UN_PP: the secondary rated phase-to-phase voltage of VT), an alarm
[Alm_VTS_BB1] or [Alm_VTS_BB2] will be issued with a time delay of 1.25s.
If the fault detector element picks up due to a disturbance in the system, the VT circuit supervision

3 Operation Theory
will be disabled. When VCE of a busbar operates, an alarm [Alm_Pkp_VCE_BB1] or

[Alm_Pkp_VCE_BB2] will be issued with a time delay of 3s. When the three-phase voltage returns
to normal condition, the alarm will be reset and the protective device will return to normal operation
condition automatically with a time delay of 10s.
3.7 CT Circuit Supervision

3.7.1 CT circuit failure
1.
If check zone differential current is greater than the setting [I_Alm_CTS], an alarm [Alm_CTS]
will be issued with a time delay of 5s and BBP will be blocked. The alarm can be reset only by
pressing reset button on the panel to energize binary input [BI_RstTarg] after the CT circuit
returns to normal condition.
2.
If check zone differential current is smaller than the setting i.e. [I_Alm_CTS] and both
discriminating zone currents are greater than [I_Alm_CTS], an alarm [Alm_CTS_BC] will be
issued with a time delay of 5s and BBP will not be blocked but single busbar mode will be
enabled automatically. Under this situation, if any internal fault occurs, faulty busbar will not
be identified. The alarm can be reset only by pressing reset button on the panel to energize
the binary input [BI_RstTarg] even the CT circuit returns to normal condition.
When VCE of any busbar operates, CT circuit failure will not be detected.
3.7.2 CT circuit abnormality
1.
If check zone differential current is greater than the setting i.e. [I_Alm_SensCTS], an alarm
[Alm_SensCTS] will be issued with a time delay of 5s. The alarm can be reset only by
pressing reset button on the panel to energize the binary input [BI_RstTarg] after the CT
circuit returns to normal condition.
2.
If check zone differential current is smaller than the setting [I_Alm_SensCTS] and both
discriminating zone currents are greater than [I_Alm_SensCTS], an alarm
[Alm_SensCTS_BC] will be issued with a time delay of 5s. The alarm can be reset only by
pressing reset button on the panel to energize the binary input [BI_RstTarg] after the CT
circuit returns to normal condition.
3.
BBP will not be blocked when CT circuit is abnormal.
3.8 BC breaker substitution

If BC breaker is used temporarily to substitute one of feeder breakers through transfer bus, the
binary input [EBI_BT_BC] should be energized. The binary input [EBI_NegPolar_CT_BT] should
be energized or de-energized according to the busbar arrangement. The polarity mark of feeder
CT is on the busbar side, if the polarity mark of the substituted BC CT is on the busbar side, the
binary input [EBI_NegPolar_CT_BT] should be de-energized and BC current will be calculated in
check zone differential current and discriminating zone differential current. If the polarity mark of
the substituting BC CT is on the feeder side, the binary input [EBI_NegPolar_CT_BT] should be
3-21

Date: 2012-08-31
3 Operation Theory
energized and negative value of BC current will be calculated in check zone differential current
and discriminating zone differential current.
If BC breaker is used temporarily to substitute one of feeder breakers, the BC current will be taken
as the current of the substituted feeder, whether the positive value or the negative value of the
substituting BC current is calculated in check zone differential current and discriminating zone
differential current depends on the status of the binary input [EBI_NegPolar_CT_BT].
If the normally open auxiliary contact of substituting disconnector of BBx [BI_52a_DSBBx_BT] is
energized, the BC breaker is substituting through BBx, and the BC current will be calculated in
discriminating zone differential current of BBx.
When BC breaker is used to substitute any of feeder breakers, some protection elements (such as
SOTF protection, EFP and BFP) of BC will quit automatically, but overcurrent protection and pole
disagreement protection are still reserved, which can be used as the protection function of the
substituted feeder. In addition, some functions for BC breaker is used as a tie breaker connecting
two busbars are also quit (such as: tripping BC breaker when busbar internal fault happens).
Note!
[EBI_NegPolar_CT_BT] should be energized prior to [EBI_BT_BC].

4 Supervision
4.1 Overview
PCS-915 is a microprocessor based busbar protection which can provide successive automatic
supervision to the protected object to ensure the power system can quickly restore from any fault
to normal state. When the device is in energizing process before the LED HEALTHY is lightened,
operators need to check the device operating state to ensure the automatic supervision function
can work normally.
The device will be blocked if there is any severe problem occurs in the hardware module or
software program. Before reboot the relay, users are recommended to solve the problem or return
the feedbacks to NR.
When a failure is detected in the system, the fault message will be displayed on the LCD and the
corresponding LED will be lightened. Meanwhile, the corresponding alarm output contacts will be
energized and the failure alarm will be recorded and stored in the device. Users can either view
the fault report directly on LCD or print out the report.
The automatic supervision of PCS-915 has advantages in independent operation to the protection
functions and is capable to identify the fault location when the fault occurs in the system.
4.2 Protective Device Supervision

4.2.1 Hardware supervision
The automatic supervision function can provide monitoring of all chips on protection DSP module
and fault detector DSP module to prevent any damaged or errors during the normal operation. The
alarm signals [Alm_DSP_ProtBrd] or [Alm_DSP_FDBrd] will be issued if any damages or errors
are dectected and the device will be blocked.
4.2.2 Opto-coupler Power Supervision

The automatic supervision can continuously monitor the positive power supply of opto-coupler, if a
failure or damage is detected, then the alarm signal [Alm_Pwr_BI_Bxx] will be issued (xx is the slot
No. of corresponding binary input module).
4.2.3 Binary output supervision

The state of binary outputs of each BO module is continually monitored. If any abnormality is
detected, the alarm signals [Alm_Output_Bxx] will be issued with device being blocked (xx is the
slot No. of corresponding BO module).
4.2.4 Binary input supervision

The state of binary inputs detected by protection DSP module and fault detector DSP module
should be the same. Otherwise, the protective device will be blocked.
If binary input [BI_Blk_BBP] is energized for over 1s, the alarm [Alm_Blk_BBP] will be issued and
the blocking for BBP will be released.
4-1
Date: 2012-08-31
4 Supervision
If any binary input for initiating feeder BFP is energized for over 10s, the alarm
[Alm_PersistFD_BFP] will be issued with BFP blocked.
4.2.5 Setting supervision

PCS-915 has 10 setting groups, while only one group is active at one time. The settings of active
setting group are checked, if any is out of setting scopes, a corresponding alarm signal
[Alm_Setting_Out-of-Range] will be issued with the protective device be blocked.
If the EEPROM on protection DSP module or fault detector DSP module is damaged, it will lead to
any summation error of all setting groups, the alarms [Alm_Setting] and [Alm_Setting_FDBrd] or
[Alm_Setting_ProtBrd] will be issued with the protective device blocked.
4.2.6 Test Mode Supervision

When protection equipment is set to test mode by configuring the corresponding logic setting, the
alarm signal [Alm_BO_Test] is issued without blocking equipment.
4.2.7 Hardware Configuration Supervision

Module configuration is checked automatically during equipment initialization, if the plug-in module
configuration is not consistent with the design drawing of a specific project, the alarm signal
[Alm_BrdConfig] is issued with the equipment being blocked.
4.3 AC Circuit Supervision

4.3.1 Voltage and current drift supervision and auto-adjustment
The voltage and current drift are influenced by the variation of temperature or other environment
factors. PCS-915 can continually and automatically trace the drift value and adjust it to normal
value.
4.3.2 Sample supervision

The device can provide monitoring of AC current and voltage samplings for protection DSP
module and fault detector DSP module. If the detected values are wrong or inconsistent, an alarm
[Alm_Sample_xx] will be issued and the relay will be blocked.
4.4 Secondary Circuit Supervision

4.4.1 Voltage Transformer Supervision (VTS)
The VTS logic in the relay is used to detect the VT secondary circuit to ensure that voltage
measured is the actual value of power system. When VT circuit failure is detected, equipment can
automatically adjust the configuration of protective elements whose stability would be affected by
voltage element to avoid maloperation. Please refer to Section 3.6 for detail.
4.4.2 Current Transformer Supervision (CTS)

The CTS logic can detect the CT secondary circuit to ensure the measured current is the actual
4-2

Date: 2012-08-31
4 Supervision
value of power system. The main purpose is to detect faults in the secondary circuits of CT and to
avoid influences on corresponding protection functions. Please refer to Section 3.7 for details.
4.4.3 Disconnector position supervision

For double busbars with bus coupler arrangement, disconnector position is monitored by the
automatic supervision function to ensure the correct operation of protective device. Please refer to
Section 3.5 for details.
4.4.4 BC breaker supervision

If normally closed auxiliary contact of bus coupler/section breaker is energized, but current is still
detected for the breaker, an alarm [Alm_52b_BC] will be issued without the protective device
blocked.
4.5 Handle Alarm

PCS-915 can provide self-supervision of hardware circuit and device operation status. When any
unnormal condition is detected, the fault information or report can be displayed and a
corresponding alarm will be issued.
A common abnormality may block a certain number of protections functions while the other
functions can still work. However, if serious hardware failure or abnormality were detected, all
protection functions will be blocked and the LED HEALTHY will be extinguished and blocking
signal will be given by output the contact [BO_FAIL]. The protective device then cannot work
normally and maintenance is required to eliminate the failure.
Note!
If the protective device is blocked or alarm signal is sent during operation, please do find
out its reason with the help of self-diagnose record. If the reason can not be found at site,
please notice the factory NR. Please do not simply energize the resetting binary input
[BI_RstTarg] or re-power on the protective device.

objects. All the recorded information except for waveform can be viewed on local LCD or by
printing. Waveform must be printed or be extracted using PCS-PC software and a waveform
software.
5-2

Date: 2013-06-03
5.3.2 Event Recording

The equipment can store the latest 1024 abnormality alarm reports and the latest 1024 binary
input changing reports respectively. All the records are stored in non-volatile memory, and when
the available space is fully occupied, the oldest report is automatically overwritten by the latest
one.
Abnormality alarm reports
Abnormality detected during relay self-supervision, secondary circuit abnormality or protection

alarm element will be logged as individual events.
Binary input status changing reports
When binary input status changes, the changed information will be displayed on LCD and logged
as binary input change report at the same time.
5.3.3 Disturbance and Fault Recording

5.3.3.1 Application
Users can use the disturbance recorder to achieve a better understanding of the behavior of the
power network and related primary and secondary equipment during and after a disturbance.
Analyzing the recorded data can help users to resolve practical problem.
5.3.3.2 Design
Disturbance recorder is consisted of tripping report and fault waveform and it is triggered by fault
detector. The equipment can store 32 pieces of trip reports and waveforms in non-volatile memory.
When protection operates, the operating information will be displayed on LCD and logged as trip
record at same time, which can be viewed in trip report. Here fault recording includes two kinds of
cases:
1)
Only the fault detector element operates.
2)
The fault detector element operates along with the operation of protective elements.
1.
Trip record capacity and information
The equipment can store 32 pieces of trip reports in non-volatile memory. If a new fault occurs
when the spaces are fully occupied, the oldest will be overwritten by the latest one.
A complete trip record includes the following items:
1)
Sequence number
Each operation will be recorded with a sequence number in the report and displayed on LCD
screen.
2)
Date and time of fault occurrence
The time resolution is 1 ms using the relay internal clock. Initiating date and time is when a fault
detector picks up. The relative time is the time when protection element operates to send tripping
5-3
Date: 2013-06-03
signal after fault detector picks up.

3)
Faulty phase
The faulty phase detected by the operating element is shown in the record report.
4)
Operating time
It is the relative time when protection element operates to send tripping signal relative to fault
detector element operating, the operating time of output relay is not included.
5)
Protection element
The protection element that issues the tripping command will be shown. If no protection element
operates to trip but only fault detector element operates, the fault report will record the title of fault
detector element.
6)
Tripping element
The elements (feeder or bus coupler) tripped are also shown

2.
Fault waveform record capacity and information
MON module of the relay can store 32 pieces of fault waveform oscillogram in non-volatile memory.
If a new fault occurs when 32 fault waveform recorders have been stored, the oldest will be
overwritten by the latest one.
Each fault record consists of all analog and digital quantities related to protection, such as original
current and voltage, differential current, alarm elements, and binary inputs and etc.
Each time recording includes 2-cycle waveform before a fault detector pickup, and up to 250
cycles can be recorded.
5.3.4 Present Recording

Present recording is used to record the waveform of present operating equipment which can be
triggerred manually on LCD of equipment or remotely through PCS-PC software. Recording
content of present recording is same to that of disturbance recording.
Each time recording includes 2-cycle waveform before triggering, and up to 250 cycles can be
recorded.

PCS-915 adopts 32-bit micro-processor CPU for logic calculations and function management, The
protection calculations are processed by high-speed digital signal processor DSP. System
parameters are sampled at 24 points in every cycle. The sampling data are parallel processed in
each sampling interval to ensure ultrahigh reliability and safety of protection equipment.
PCS-915 captures current and voltage signal and converts to small signals. These small signals
will be filtered and converted to digital signals by AD converter before being sent to protection
calculation module (DSP module 1) and fault detector calculation module (DSP module 2). When
MON module completes all the protection calculations, the results will be stored in 32-bit CPU on
MON module. DSP module 1 carries out protection logic calculation, tripping output, and MON
module can provide SOE (sequence of event) record, waveform recording, printing,
communication between protection and substation automatic system (SAS) and communication
between HMI and CPU. The operating procedures of fault detector calculation module are similar
to that of protection calculation module, and the only difference is, when fault detector calculation
module decides a fault detector picks up, only the positive power supply of output relay is switched
on.

Note!
The standard rated voltage of PWR module is self-adaptive to 88~300 Vdc. If input voltage
is out of range, an alarm signal (Fail_Device) will be issued. For non-standard rated
voltage power supply module please specify when ordering, and check if the rated voltage
of power supply module is the same as the voltage of power source before the device
being put into service.
PWR module provides terminal 12 and grounding screw for device grounding. Terminal 12
shall be connected to grounding screw and then connected to the earth copper bar of
panel via dedicated grounding wire.
Effective grounding is the most important measure for a device to prevent EMI, so effective
grounding must be ensured before the device is put into service.
PCS-915, like almost all electronic relays, contains electrolytic capacitors. These
capacitors are well known to be subject to deterioration over time if voltage is not applied
periodically. Deterioration can be avoided by powering the relays up once a year.

Settings are classified to two kinds, protection settings and common settings. Each protection
element has its independent setting menu. Common settings consist of device settings,
communication settings, label settings, system settings and VEBI settings.
PCS-915 has ten protection setting groups to coordinate with the different modes of power system
operation. One of these setting groups is assigned to be active. However, common settings are
shared by all protection setting groups.
All current settings in this chapter are secondary current converted from primary current by
reference CT ratio.

This setting is used in case that the rated CT primary currents of each feeder connected to busbar
are different. Among these CTs, the CT with the most applied ratio is taken as the reference CT.
If the maximum CT ratio is two times larger than the minimum CT ratio, in order to ensure
accuracy, the rated primary current of reference CT shall be half of the maximal rated primary
current.
For example, assume only 3 feeders are connected to the busbar. The CT ratios are 600:5 (feeder
02), 600:5 (feeder 03) and 1200:5 (feeder 04). Then, this setting should be set as 600.

When PCS-915 is applied to single busbar with single bus section arrangement, it should be set as
1, then the system setting [Cfg_DS_BBx] (x=1, 2) is used to indicate which busbar zone the
feeder is connected to.
If [En_SingleBB] and [En_SingleBB_with_SingleBS] are all set as 0, double busbars
arrangement will be taken as the actual busbar arrangement by the device.
11. Cfg_DS_BBx (x=1 or 2)
Disconnector position configuration setting of BBx. In the case of single busbar with bus section
arrangement, the setting is used to indicate which busbar zone the feeder is connected to. The

auxiliary contact of disconnector to identify the position of feeder. The feeder bay is connected to
BBx if corresponding binary digit of [Cfg_DS_BBx] is set as 1.
Generally, Bay 01 is connected with BC, so bit 0 of [Cfg_DS_BBx] is not used. For double-CT BC,
bay 01 and bay 02 will be occupied, so bit 0 and bit 1 of [Cfg_DS_BBx] are not used.

2.
[t_TrpBC_BFP]
It should be greater than the summation of operating time of breaker and reset time of protective
device with certain margin. The recommended value is 250ms~350ms.
3.
[t_TrpBB_BFP]
Based on the premise of BC breaker tripped, it should be greater than the summation of operating
time of BC breaker and reset time of protective device with certain margin. It should be as short as
possible on the premise of losing selectivity. The recommended value is 500ms~600ms.
4.
[V_UV_VCE_BFP]
It should make BFP sensitive enough to operate when there is a symmetrical fault occurring in the
end of the longest feeder and not to operate in the lowest operation voltage. After the fault is
cleared, the protective device can reset reliably. When the logic setting i.e.
[Opt_UnearthedSys_Mode] is set as 1, it will be changed to phase-to-phase voltage. Please
refer to Section 3.4.3.
5.
[V_ROV_VCE_BFP]
It should make BFP sensitive enough to operate when there is an unsymmetrical fault occurring in
the end of the longest line and be greater than residual voltage in normal operation mode. When
the logic setting i.e. [Opt_UnearthedSys_Mode] is set as 1, it is invalid.
6.
[V_NegOV_VCE_BFP]
It should make BFP sensitive enough to operate when there is an unsymmetrical fault occurring in
the end of the longest line and be greater than negative sequence component of maximum
unbalance voltage in normal operation mode.
7.
[I_OC_BFP_Bayxx] (xx can be BT, 02~25)
It should make BFP sensitive enough to operate when there is a fault occurring in end of feeder or
in LV side of transformer if this feeder is transformer bay. It should be greater than maximum load
in normal operation mode.
8.
[I_ROC_BFP_Bayxx] (xx can be BT, 02~25)
It should make BFP sensitive enough to operate when there is a single-phase earth fault occurring
in end of line or in LV side of transformer if this feeder is transformer bay. It should be greater than
the maximum unbalance residual current in normal operation mode.
9.
[I_NegOC_BFP_Bayxx] (xx can be BT, 02~25)
It should make BFP sensitive enough to operate when there is a phase-to-phase fault occurring in
end of line or in LV side of transformer if this feeder is transformer bay. It should be greater than
the maximum negative sequence unbalance current in normal operation mode.

[En_NegOC_BFP_Bayxx] (xx can be BT, 02~25)
If phase current setting of BFP can not avoid the influence of load current and residual current
setting of BFP is not sensitive enough to meet the project requirement, it should be set as 1.
12.
[Disable_VCE_BFP_Bayxx] (xx can be BT, 02~25)
If a fault occurs at LV side of transformer and the circuit breaker of HV side may fails to trip, feeder
BFP is needed to be initiated. In this case, HV side VCE may not pick up to release feeder BFP,
and therefore users can select feeder BFP not being controlled by VCE, i.e. connect the tripping
contact of HV side of transformer to the binary input [BI_Rls_VCE_BFP_Trans] to initate feeder
BFP and set the logic setting to 1.
Access path:
MainMenuSettingsProt SettingsBFP Settings

Note!
Because VCE of BFP is common for every feeder, the settings must be configured to
ensure it can pick up under maximum fault current mode when there is a fault occurring in
the end of feeder.
7.5 Logic Settings

These logic settings are used to configure protective function of the protective device. They can be
set as 1 or 0. Setting as 1 means that the corresponding protective function can be enabled or
valid, while setting as 0 means that the corresponding protective function is disabled or invalid.
The relation is AND among the logic setting, the corresponding binary input and the
corresponding virtual binary input.

7.6 Virtual Binary Input Settings

Virtual enable binary input (VEBI) is a kind of special logic setting to enable protection functions.
These virtual binary inputs can be configured through local HMI or remote PC (controlled by the
virtual binary input [VEBI_RmtCtrl]).
Each VEBI setting is one of the conditions that decide whether the relevant protection is in service.
If the virtual binary input [VEBI_RmtCtrl] is set as 1, Through SAS or RTU, the VEBI settings
can be set as 1 or 0; and it means that the relevant protection can be in service or out of service
through remote command. It provides convenience for operation management.
These virtual binary inputs provide a convenient way for the operator to put the function in service
or out of service remotely away from an unattended substation.

as an example, as shown in Figure 8.1-5. Its rear view and the definition of terminals.
The Ethernet port can be used to communication with PC via auxiliary software (PCS-PC) after
connecting the protection device with PC, so as to fulfill on-line function (please refer to the
instruction manual of PCS-PC). At first, the connection between the protection device and PC
must be established. Through setting the IP address and subnet mask of corresponding Ethernet
interface in the menu Settingsproduct SetupCommunication Settings, it should be
ensured that the protection device and PC are in the same network segment. For example, setting
8-8

Tripping reports and alarm reports will not disappear until these reports are acknowledged by
pressing the reset button on the protection panel (i.e. energizing the binary input [BI_RstTarg]).
User can press both ENT and ESC at the same time to switch the display among trip reports,
alarm reports and the SLD display. Binary change reports will be displayed for 5s and then itll
return to the previous display interface automatically. Control reports will not pop up and can only
be viewed by navigating the corresponding menu.
8.3.2 Display during Normal Operation

After the protection device is powered and turns into the initiating interface, it takes 30 seconds to
complete the initialization of protection device. During the initialization of protection device, the
HEALTHY indicator of the protection device goes out.
Under normal condition, the LCD will display a diagram similar to the following interface. The LCD
adopts white color as its backlight that is activated if once there is any keyboard operation, and is
extinguished automatically after 60 seconds of no operation.

This section introduces NRs remote communications interfaces. The protective device is
compaitible with three protocols via the rear communication interface (RS-485 or Ethernet). The
protocol provided by the protective device is indicated in the submenu in the Communication
Settings column. Using the keypad and LCD to set the parameter [Protocol_RS485A] and
[Protocol_RS485B], the corresponding protocol will be selected.
The rear EIA RS-485 interface is isolated and is suitable for permanent connection no matter
whichever protocol is selected. It has advantage that 32 protective devices can be daisy chained
together in electrical connection using a twisted pair.
It should be noted that the descriptions in this section do not aim to fully introduce the protocol
itself. The relevant documentation for the protocol should be referred for this information. This
section serves to describe the specific implementation of the protocol in the relay.
9.2 Rear Communication Port Information

9.2.1 RS-485 Interface
This protective device provides two rear RS-485 communication ports, and each port has three
terminals in the 12-terminal screw connector located on the back of the relay. Each port has a
ground terminal for earth shield of communication cable. The rear ports provide RS-485 serial data
communication and are intended for permanently wired connection to a remote control center.
9.2.1.1 EIA RS-485 Standardized Bus
The EIA RS-485 two-wire connection provides a half-duplex fully isolated serial connection to the
product. The connection is polarized and whilst the products connection diagrams indicate the
polarization of the connection terminals it should be borne in mind that there is no agreed
definition of which terminal is which. If the master is unable to communicate with the product, but
the communication parameters match, then it is possible that the two-wire connection is reversed.
9.2.1.2 Bus Termination
The EIA RS-485 bus must have 120 (Ohm) Watt terminating resistors fitted at either end
across the signal wires (refer to Figure 9.2-1). Some devices may be able to provide the bus
terminating resistors by different connection or configuration arrangements, in which case
separate external components will not be required. However, this product does not provide such a
facility, so an external termination resistor is required when it is located at the bus terminus.

Figure 9.2-1 EIA RS-485 bus connection arrangements
9.2.1.3 Bus Connections & Topologies

The EIA RS-485 requires that each device is directly connected to the physical cable i.e. the
communications bus. Stubs and tees are strictly forbidden, such as star topologies. Loop bus
topologies are not part of the EIA RS-485 standard and are forbidden also.
Two-core screened cable is recommended. The specification of the cable will be dependent on the
application, although a multi-strand 0.5mm2 per core is normally adequate. Total cable length
must not exceed 500m. The screen must be continuous and connected to ground at one end,
normally at the master connection point; it is important to avoid circulating currents, especially
when the cable runs between buildings, for both safety and noise reasons.
This product does not provide a signal ground connection. If a signal ground connection is present
in the bus cable then it must be ignored, although it must have continuity for the benefit of other
devices connected to the bus. The signal ground shall not be connected to the cables screen or to
the products chassis at any stage. This is for both safety and noise reasons.
9.2.1.4 Biasing
It may also be necessary to bias the signal wires to prevent jabber. Jabber occurs when the signal
level has an indeterminate state due to inactively driven of tbus. This can occur when all the slaves
are in receive mode and the master unit is slow to turn from receive mode to transmit mode. The
reason is that the master purposefully waits in receive mode, or even in a high impedance state,
until it has something to transmit. Jabber can result in the loss of first bits of the first character in
the packet for receiving device(s), which will lead to the rejection of messages for slave units,
causing non-responding between master unit and slave unit. This could brings poor response
times (due to retries), increase in message error counters, erratic communications, and even a
complete failure to communicate.
Biasing requires that the signal lines shall be weakly pulled to a defined voltage level of about 1V.
There should be only one bias point on the bus, which is best situated at the master connection
point. The DC source used for the bias must be clean; otherwise noise will be injected. Please
note that some devices may (optionally) be able to provide the bus bias that the external
components will not be required.
Note!
9-2

Date: 2013-06-03
9 Communications
It is extremely important that the 120 termination resistors are fitted. Failure to do so
will result in an excessive bias voltage that may damage the devices connected to the
bus.
As the field voltage is much higher than that required, NR cannot assume
responsibility for any damage that may occur to a device connected to the network as
a result of incorrect application of this voltage.
Ensure that the field voltage is not being used for other purposes (i.e. powering logic
inputs) as this may cause noise to be passed to the communication network.
9.2.2 Ethernet Interface

This protective device can provide four rear Ethernet interfaces (optional) and they are unattached
to each other. Parameters of each Ethernet port can be configured in the submenu
Communication Settings.
9.2.2.1 Ethernet Standardized Communication Cable
It is recommended to use twisted screened eight-core cable as the communication cable. A picture
is shown bellow.
Figure 9.2-2 Ethernet communication cable
9.2.2.2 Connections and Topologies

Each device is connected with an exchanger via communication cable, and thereby it forms a star
structure network. Dual-network is recommended in order to increase reliability. SCADA is also
connected to the exchanger acting as the master station, and every device which has been
connected to the exchanger will act as a slave unit.

9.2.3 IEC60870-5-103 Communication

The IEC specification IEC60870-5-103: Telecontrol Equipment and Systems, Part 5: Transmission
Protocols Section 103 defines the use of standards IEC60870-5-1 to IEC60870-5-5 to perform
communication with protective device. The standard configuration of IEC60870-5-103 protocol is
using a twisted pair EIA RS-485 connection over distances up to 500m. It also supports an
Ethernet for communication between devices. The relay operates as a slave unit in the system to
respond commands received from master station.
To use the rear port with IEC60870-5-103 communication, the relevant settings of the protective
device must be configured by using keypad and LCD user interface. In the submenu
Communication Settings, set the parameters [Protocol_RS485A], [Protocol_RS485B] and
[Baud_RS485]. To use the Ethernet port with IEC60870-5-103 communication, the IP address and
the submask of each Ethernet port shall be set in the same submenu. Please refer to the
corresponding section in Chapter Settings for further details.
9.3 IEC60870-5-103 Interface over Serial Port

The IEC60870-5-103 interface over serial port (RS-485) is a master/slave interface and the
protective device is the slave device.
The protective device conforms to compatibility level 3.
The following IEC60870-5-103 facilities are supported by this interface:
Initialization (reset)
Time synchronization
Event record extraction
General interrogation

9.3.1 Physical Connection and Link Layer

Two EIA RS-485 standardized ports are available for IEC60870-5-103 in this protective device.
The transmission speed is optional: 4800 bit/s, 9600 bit/s, 19200 bit/s or 38400 bit/s.
The link layer strictly abides by the rules defined in the IEC60870-5-103.
9.3.2 Initialization
When the protective device is powered up, or the communication parameters are changed, a reset
command is required to initialize the communications. The protective device will respond to either
of the two reset commands (Reset CU or Reset FCB), the difference is that the Reset CU will clear
any unsent messages in the transmit buffer.
The protective device will respond to the reset command with an identification message ASDU 5,
the COT (Cause Of Transmission) of this response will be either Reset CU or Reset FCB
depending on the nature of the reset command.
9.3.3 Time Synchronization

The time and date of protective device can be set by time synchronization feature of the
IEC60870-5-103 protocol. The transmission delay as specified in IEC60870-5-103 will be
corrected in the protective device. If the time synchronization message is sent as a send/confirm
message, then the protective device will respond with a confirmation. Whether the
time-synchronization message is sent as a send confirmation or a broadcast (send/no reply)
message, a time synchronization class 1 event will be generated/produced.
If the protective device clock is synchronized using the IRIG-B input, the protection device will not
be able to set the time using the IEC60870-5-103 interface. For attempt to set the time via the
interface, the protective device will create an event with the date and time taken from the IRIG-B
synchronized internal clock.
9.3.4 Spontaneous Events

Events are categorized by the following information:
Type identification (TYP)
Function type (FUN)
Information number (INF)
Messages sent to substation automation system are grouped according to IEC60870-5-103

protocol. Operation elements are sent by ASDU2 (time-tagged message with relative time), and
status of binary Input and alarm element are sent by ASDU1 (time-tagged message). The cause of
transmission (COT) of these responses is 1.
The complete list of all events produced by the protective device can be printed by choosing the
submenu IEC103 Info in the menu Print.

9.5.2 Communication Profiles

PCS-915 series relay supports IEC 61850 server services over TCP/IP communication protocol
stacks. The TCP/IP profile requires an IP address to establish communications.
1.
MMS protocol
IEC 61850 specifies the use of the Manufacturing Message Specification (MMS) at the upper
(application) layer for transfer of real-time data. This protocol has been in existence for a number
of years and provides a set of services suitable for the transfer of data within a substation LAN
environment. Actual IEC 61850-7-2 abstract services and objects are mapped to MMS protocol
services in IEC61850-8-1.
2.
Client/server
This is a connection-oriented type of communication. The connection is initiated by the client, and
communication activity is controlled by the client. IEC61850 clients are often substation computers
running HMI programs or SOE logging software. Servers are usually substation device such as
protection relays, meters, RTUs, transformer, tap changers, or bay controllers.
3.
Peer-to-peer
9-7
Date: 2013-06-03
9 Communications
This is a non-connection-oriented high speed communication between substation device, such as

protection relays. GOOSE is the method of peer-to-peer communication.
4.
Substation configuration language (SCL)
A substation configuration language is a number of files used to describe IED and communication
system realized according to IEC 61850-5 and IEC 61850-7. Each configured device has an IEC
Capability Description (ICD) file and a Configured IED Description (CID) file. The substation single
line information is stored in a System Specification Description (SSD) file. The entire substation
configuration is stored in a Substation Configuration Description (SCD) file. The SCD file is the
combination of the individual ICD files and the SSD file, moreover, add communication system
parameters (MMS, GOOSE, control block, SV control block) and the connection relationship of
GOOSE and SV to SCD file.
9.5.3 Server Data Organization

IEC61850 defines an object-oriented approach to data and services. Each IED represents one
IEC61850 physical device. An IEC61850 physical device can contain one or more logical device(s)
(for proxy). Each logical device can contain many logical nodes. The logical node LPHD contains
information about the IED physical device. The logical node LLN0 contains information about the
IED logical device. Each logical node can contain many data objects. Each data object is
composed of data attributes and data attribute components. Services are available at each level
for performing various functions, such as reading, writing, control commands, and reporting.
9.5.3.1 Digital Status Values
The GGIO logical node is used to provide access to digital status points (including general I/O
inputs and warnings) and associated timestamps and quality flags. The data content must be
configured before using. GGIO provides digital status points for access by clients. It is intended for
the use of GGIO by client to access to digital status values from PCS-915 series relays. Clients
can utilize the IEC61850 buffered report from GGIO to build sequence of events (SOE) logs and
HMI display screens. Buffered reporting should generally be used for SOE logs since the buffering
capability reduces the chances of missing data state changes. All needed status data objects are
transmitted to HMI clients via buffered reporting, and the corresponding buffered reporting control
block (BRCB) is defined in LLN0.
9.5.3.2 Analog Values
Most of measured analog values are available through the MMXU logical nodes, and metering
values in MMTR, the else is in MMXN, MSQI and so on. Data of each MMXU logical node is
provided from a IED current/voltage source. There is one MMXU available for each configurable
source. Data of MMXU1 is provided from CT/VT source 1 (usually for protection purpose), and
data of MMXU2 is provided from CT/VT source 2 (usually for monitor and display purpose). All
these analog data objects are transmitted to HMI clients via unbuffered reporting periodically, and
the corresponding unbuffered reporting control block (URCB) is defined in LLN0. MMXUx logical
nodes provide the following data for each source:
MMXU.MX.Hz: frequency
9-8

Date: 2013-06-03
9 Communications
MMXU.MX.PPV.phsAB: phase AB voltage magnitude and angle
MMXU.MX.PPV.phsBC: phase BC voltage magnitude and angle
MMXU.MX.PPV.phsCA: Phase CA voltage magnitude and angle
MMXU.MX.PhV.phsA: phase AG voltage magnitude and angle
MMXU.MX.PhV.phsB: phase BG voltage magnitude and angle
MMXU.MX.PhV.phsC: phase CG voltage magnitude and angle
MMXU.MX.A.phsA: phase A current magnitude and angle
MMXU.MX.A.phsB: phase B current magnitude and angle
MMXU.MX.A.phsC: phase C current magnitude and angle
9.5.3.3 Protection Logical Nodes

The following list describes the protection elements for all PCS-915 series relays. The specified
relay will contain a subset of protection elements from this list.
PDIF: current differential and transfer trip
RBRF:Breaker failure
PTOC: Time overcurrent
RDRE: Disturbance recorder function
The protection elements listed above contain start (pickup) and operate flags, instead of any
element has its own start (pickup) flag separately, all the elements share a common start (pickup)
flags PTRC.ST.Str.general. The operate flag for PDIF1 is PDIF1.ST.Op.general. For PCS-915
series relay protection elements, these flags take their values from related module for the
corresponding element. Similar to digital status values, the protection trip information is reported
via BRCB, and it also locates in LLN0.
9.5.3.4 LLN0 and Other Logical Nodes
Logical node LLN0 is essential for an IEC61850 based IED. This LN shall be used to address
common issues for Logical Devices. Most of the public services, the common settings, control
values and some device oriented data objects are available here. The public services may be
BRCB, URCB and GSE control blocks and similar global defined for the whole device; the
common settings include all the setting items of communication settings. System settings and
some of the protection setting items, which can be configured to two or more protection elements
(logical nodes). In LLN0, the item Loc is a device control object, this item indicates the local
operation for complete logical device, when it is true, all the remote control commands to the IED
will be blocked until Loc is changed to false. In PCS-915 series relays, besides the logical nodes
described above, there are some other logical nodes in the IEDs:
LPHD: Physical device information, the logical node to model common issues for physical
device.
9-9
Date: 2013-06-03
9 Communications
PTRC: Protection trip conditioning, it is used to connect the operate outputs of one or more
protection functions to a common trip to be transmitted to XCBR. In addition or alternatively, any
combination of operate outputs of protection functions may be combined to a new operate of
PTRC.
RDRE: Disturbance recorder function. It triggers fault wave recorder and its output refers to
the IEEE Standard Format for Transient Data Exchange (COMTRADE) for Power System (IEC
60255-24). All enabled channels are included in the recording and is independent of the trigger
mode.
9.5.4 Server Features and Configuration

9.5.4.1 Buffered/unbuffered Reporting
IEC61850 buffered and unbuffered reporting control blocks are located in LLN0, they can be
configured to transmit information of protection trip information (in the Protection logical nodes),
binary status values (in GGIO) and analog measured/calculated values (in MMXU, MMTR and
MSQI). The reporting control blocks can be configured in CID files, and then be sent to the IED via
an IEC61850 client. The following items can be configured.
TrgOps: Trigger options.
The following bits are supported by PCS-915 series relays:

Bit 1: Data-change
Bit 4: Integrity

9.5.4.2 File Transfer

MMS file services allows transfer of oscillography, event record or other files from a PCS-915
series relay.
9.5.4.3 Timestamps
The timestamp values associated with all IEC61850 data items represent the time of the last
change of either the value or quality flags of the data item.
9.5.4.4 Logical Node Name Prefixes
IEC61850 specifies that each logical node can have a name with a total length of 11 characters.
The name is composed of:
A five or six-character name prefix.
A four-character standard name (for example, MMXU, GGIO, PIOC, etc.).
A one or two-character instantiation index.
Complete names are in the form of xxxxxxPTOC1, where the xxxxxx character string is
configurable. Details regarding the logical node naming rules are given in IEC61850 parts 6 and
7-2. It is recommended that a consistent naming convention be used for an entire substation
project.

11 Commissioning
11.1 General
This relay is fully numerical in their design, implementing all protection and non-protection
functions in software. The relay employs a high degree of self-checking and in the unlikely event of
a failure, will give an alarm. As a result of this, the commissioning test does not need to be as
extensive as with non-numeric electronic or electro-mechanical relays.
To commission numerical relays, it is only necessary to verify that the hardware is functioning
correctly and the application-specific software settings have been applied to the relay.
Blank commissioning test and setting records are provided at the end of this manual for
completion as required.
Before carrying out any work on the equipment, the user should be familiar with the contents of the
safety and technical data sections and the ratings on the equipments rating label.
11.2 Safety Instructions

WARNING! Hazardous voltages are present in this electrical equipment during operation.
Non-observance of the safety rules can result in severe personal injury or property
damage.
WARNING! Only the qualified personnel shall work on and around this equipment after
becoming thoroughly familiar with all warnings and safety notices of this manual as well
as with the applicable safety regulations.
Particular attention must be drawn to the following:
The earthing screw of the device must be connected solidly to the protective earth conductor
before any other electrical connection is made.
Hazardous voltages can be present on all circuits and components connected to the supply
voltage or to the measuring and test quantities.
Hazardous voltages can be present in the device even after disconnection of the supply
voltage (storage capacitors!)
The limit values stated in the Chapter Technical Data must not be exceeded at all, not even
during testing and commissioning.
When testing the device with secondary test equipment, make sure that no other
measurement quantities are connected. Take also into consideration that the trip circuits and
maybe also close commands to the circuit breakers and other primary switches are
disconnected from the device unless expressly stated.
11-1

11 Commissioning
DANGER! Current transformer secondary circuits must have been short-circuited before
the current leads to the device are disconnected.
WARNING! Primary test may only be carried out by qualified personnel, who are familiar
with the commissioning of protection system, the operation of the plant and safety rules
and regulations (switching, earthing, etc.).
11.3 Commission Tools

Minimum equipment required:
Multifunctional dynamic current and voltage injection test set with interval timer.
Multimeter with suitable AC current range and AC/DC voltage ranges of 0~440V and 0~250V
respectively.
Continuity tester (if not included in the multimeter).

11 Commissioning
Alternatively, if a portable PC is available together with suitable setting software (such as

PCS-9700 SAS software), the menu can be viewed one page at a time to display a full column of
data and text. This PC software also allows settings to be entered more easily, saved to a file on
disk for future reference or printed to produce a setting record. Refer to the PC software user
manual for details. If the software is being used for the first time, allow sufficient time to become
familiar with its operation.
11.5 Product Checks

These product checks cover all aspects of the relay which should be checked to ensure that it has
not been physically damaged prior to commissioning, is functioning correctly and all input quantity
measurements are within the stated tolerances.
If the application-specific settings have been applied to the relay prior to commissioning, it is
advisable to make a copy of the settings so as to allow them restoration later. This could be done
by extracting the settings from the relay itself via printer or manually creating a setting record.
11.5.1 With the Relay De-energized

This relay is fully numerical and the hardware is continuously monitored. Commissioning tests can
be kept to a minimum and need only include hardware tests and conjunctive tests. The function
tests are carried out according to users correlative regulations.
The following tests are necessary to ensure the normal operation of the equipment before it is first
put into service.
Hardware tests
These tests are performed for the following hardware to ensure that there is no hardware
defect. Defects of hardware circuits other than the following can be detected by
self-monitoring when the DC power is supplied.

Phase sequence check and polarity check.
11.5.1.1 Visual Inspection

After unpacking the product, check for any damage to the relay case. If there is any damage, the
internal module might also have been affected, contact the vendor. The following items listed is
necessary.
Protection panel
Carefully examine the protection panel, protection equipment inside and other parts inside to
see that no physical damage has occurred since installation.
The rated information of other auxiliary protections should be checked to ensure it is correct
for the particular installation.
Panel wiring
Check the conducting wire which is used in the panel to assure that their cross section
meeting the requirement.
Carefully examine the wiring to see that they are no connection failure exists.
Label
Check all the isolator binary inputs, terminal blocks, indicators, switches and push buttons to
make sure that their labels meet the requirements of this project.
Equipment plug-in modules

Check each plug-in module of the equipments on the panel to make sure that they are well
installed into the equipment without any screw loosened.
Earthing cable
Check whether the earthing cable from the panel terminal block is safely screwed to the panel
steel sheet.
Switch, keypad, isolator binary inputs and push button

Check whether all the switches, equipment keypad, isolator binary inputs and push buttons
work normally and smoothly.
11.5.1.2 Insulation Test (if required)

Insulation resistance tests are only necessary during commissioning if it is required for them to be
done and they have not been performed during installation.
Isolate all wiring from the earth and test the isolation with an electronic or brushless insulation
tester at a DC voltage not exceeding 500V, The circuits need to be tested should include:
11-4

Date: 2012-08-30
11 Commissioning
Voltage transformer circuits
Current transformer circuits
DC power supply
Optic-isolated control inputs
Output contacts
Communication ports
The insulation resistance should be greater than 100M at 500V.

Test method:
To unplug all the terminals sockets of this relay, and do the Insulation resistance test for each
circuit above with an electronic or brushless insulation tester.
On completion of the insulation resistance tests, ensure all external wiring is correctly reconnected
to the protection.
11.5.1.3 External Wiring
Check that the external wiring is correct to the relevant relay diagram and scheme diagram.
Ensure as far as practical that phasing/phase rotation appears to be as expected.
Check the wiring against the schematic diagram for the installation to ensure compliance with the
customers normal practice.
11.5.1.4 Auxiliary Power Supply
The relay only can be operated under the auxiliary power supply depending on the relays nominal
power supply rating.
The incoming voltage must be within the operating range specified in Chapter Technical Data,
before energizing the relay, measure the auxiliary supply to ensure it within the operating range.
Other requirements to the auxiliary power supply are specified in Chapter Technical Data. See
this section for further details about the parameters of the power supply.
WARNING! Energize this relay only if the power supply is within the specified operating
ranges in Chapter Technical Data.
11.5.2 With the Relay Energized

The following groups of checks verify that the relay hardware and software is functioning correctly
and should be carried out with the auxiliary supply applied to the relay.
The current and voltage transformer connections must remain isolated from the relay for these
checks. The trip circuit should also remain isolated to prevent accidental operation of the
associated circuit breaker.

11 Commissioning
11.5.2.1 Front Panel LCD Display

Connect the relay to DC power supply correctly and turn the relay on. Check program version and
forming time displayed in command menu to ensure that are corresponding to what ordered.
11.5.2.2 Date and Time
If the time and date is not being maintained by substation automation system, the date and time
should be set manually.
Set the date and time to the correct local time and date using menu item Clock.
In the event of the auxiliary supply failing, with a battery fitted on CPU board, the time and date will
be maintained. Therefore when the auxiliary supply is restored the time and date will be correct
and not need to set again.
To test this, remove the auxiliary supply from the relay for approximately 30s. After being
re-energized, the time and date should be correct.
11.5.2.3 Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs)
On power up, the green LED HEALTHY should have illuminated and stayed on indicating that
the relay is healthy.
The relay has latched signal relays which remember the state of the trip when the relay was last
energized from an auxiliary supply. Therefore these indicators may also illuminate when the
auxiliary supply is applied. If any of these LEDs are on then they should be reset before
proceeding with further testing. If the LED successfully reset, the LED goes out. There is no testing
required for that LED because it is known to be operational.
11.5.2.4 Testing the HEALTHY and ALARM LEDs
Apply the rated DC power supply and check that the HEALTHY LED is lighting in green. We
need to emphasize that the HEALTHY LED is always lighting in operation course except that the
equipment find serious errors in it.
Produce one of the abnormal conditions listed in Chapter Supervision, the MISC_ALM LED will
light in yellow. When abnormal condition reset, the MISC_ALM LED extinguishes.
11.5.2.5 Testing the TRIP LED
The xx_TRIP LED can be tested by initiating a manual circuit breaker trip from the relay.
However the xx_TRIP LED will operate during the setting checks. Therefore no further testing of
the TRIP LED is required at this stage.
11.5.2.6 Testing the AC Current Inputs
This test verified that the accuracy of current measurement is within the acceptable tolerances.
Apply rated current to each current transformer input in turn; checking its magnitude using a
multimeter/test set readout. The corresponding reading can then be checked in the relays menu.
The measurement accuracy of the protection is 2.5% or 0.02In. However, an additional allowance
11-6

Date: 2012-08-30
11 Commissioning
must be made for the accuracy of the test equipment being used.
NOTE! The closing circuit should remain isolated during these checks to prevent
accidental operation of the associated circuit breaker.
11.5.2.7 Testing the AC Voltage Inputs
This test verified that the accuracy of voltage measurement is within the acceptable tolerances.
Apply rated voltage to each voltage transformer input in turn; checking its magnitude using a
multimeter/test set readout. The corresponding reading can then be checked in the relays menu.
The measurement accuracy of the relay is 2.5% or 0.1V. However an additional allowance must be
made for the accuracy of the test equipment being used.
NOTE! The closing circuit should remain isolated during these checks to prevent
accidental operation of the associated circuit breaker.
11.5.2.8 Testing the Binary Inputs
This test checks that all the binary inputs on the equipment are functioning correctly.
The binary inputs should be energized one at a time, see external connection diagrams for
terminal numbers.
Ensure that the voltage applied on the binary input must be within the operating range.
The status of each binary input can be viewed using relay menu. Sign 1 denotes an energized
input and sign 0 denotes a de-energized input.
Test method:
To unplug all the terminals sockets of this protective device, and do the insulation resistance test
for each circuit above with an electronic or brushless insulation tester.
On completion of the insulation resistance tests, ensure all external wiring is correctly reconnected
to the protection.

11.5.4 Print Fault Report

In order to acquire the details of protection operation, it is convenient to print the fault report of
protection device. The printing work can be easily finished when operator presses the print button
on panel of protection device to energize binary input [BI_Print] or operate control menu. What
should be noticed is that only the latest fault report can be printed if operator presses the print
button. A complete fault report includes the content shown as follows.
1) Trip event report
2) Binary input when protection devices start
3) Self-check and the transition of binary input in the process of devices start
4) Fault wave forms compatible with COMTRADE
5) The setting value when the protection device trips
11.5.5 On-load Checks

The objectives of the on-load checks are:
Confirm the external wiring to the current and voltage inputs is correct.
Measure the magnitude of on-load current and voltage (if applicable).
Check the polarity of each current transformer.
11-21
Date: 2012-08-30
11 Commissioning
However, these checks can only be carried out if there are no restrictions preventing the
tenderization of the plant being protected.
Remove all test leads, temporary shorting leads, etc. and replace any external wiring that has
been removed to allow testing.
If it has been necessary to disconnect any of the external wiring from the protection in order to
perform any of the foregoing tests, it should be ensured that all connections are replaced in
accordance with the relevant external connection or scheme diagram. Confirm current and voltage
transformer wiring.
11.5.6 Final Checks

After the above tests are completed, remove all test or temporary shorting leads, etc. If it has been
necessary to disconnect any of the external wiring from the protection in order to perform the
wiring verification tests, it should be ensured that all connections are replaced in accordance with
the relevant external connection or scheme diagram.
Ensure that the protection has been restored to service.
If the protection is in a new installation or the circuit breaker has just been maintained, the circuit
breaker maintenance and current counters should be zero. If a test block is installed, remove the
test plug and replace the cover so that the protection is put into service.
Ensure that all event records, fault records, disturbance records and alarms have been cleared
and LEDs has been reset before leaving the protection.

12 Maintenance
NR numerical relay PCS-915 is designed to require no special maintenance. All measurement and
signal processing circuit are fully solid state. All input modules are also fully solid state. The output
relays are hermetically sealed.
Since the device is almost completely self-monitored, from the measuring inputs to the output
relays, hardware and software defects are automatically detected and reported. The
self-monitoring ensures the high availability of the device and generally allows for a corrective
rather than preventive maintenance strategy. Therefore, maintenance checks in short intervals are
not required.
Operation of the device is automatically blocked when a hardware failure is detected. If a problem
is detected in the external measuring circuits, the device normally only provides alarm messages.
12.1 Appearance Check

1. The relay case should be clean without any dust stratification. Case cover should be sealed
well. No component has any mechanical damage and distortion, and they should be firmly fixed in
the case. Relay terminals should be in good condition. The keys on the front panel with very good
feeling can be operated flexibly.
2. It is only allowed to plug or withdraw relay board when the supply is reliably switched off.
Never allow the CT secondary circuit connected to this equipment to be opened while the primary
system is live when withdrawing an AC module. Never try to insert or withdraw the relay board
when it is unnecessary.
3. Check weld spots on PCB whether they are well soldered without any rosin joint. All dual
inline components must be well plugged.
12.2 Failure Tracing And Repair

Failures will be detected by automatic supervision or regular testing.
When a failure is detected by supervision, a remote alarm is issued and the failure is indicated on
the front panel with LED indicators and LCD display. It is also recorded in the event record.
Failures detected by supervision are traced by checking the Superv Events screen on the LCD.
When a failure is detected during regular testing, confirm the following:
Test circuit connections are correct
Modules are securely inserted in position
Correct DC power voltage is applied
Correct AC inputs are applied
Test procedures comply with those stated in the manual
12.3 Replace Failed Modules

If the failure is identified to be in the relay module and the user has spare modules, the user can
12-1

12 Maintenance
recover the protection by replacing the failed modules.

Repair at the site should be limited to module replacement. Maintenance at the component level is
not recommended.
Check that the replacement module has an identical module name (AI, PWR, CPU, BI, BO, etc.)
and hardware type-form as the removed module. Furthermore, the CPU module replaced should
have the same software version. In addition, the AI and PWR module replaced should have the
same ratings.
The module name is indicated on the top front of the module. The software version is indicated in
LCD menu Version Info.
Caution!
When handling a module, take anti-static measures such as wearing an earthed wrist band
and placing modules on an earthed conductive mat. Otherwise, many of the electronic
components could suffer damage. After replacing the CPU module, check the settings.
1)
Replacing a module
Switch off the DC power supply
Disconnect the trip outputs
Short circuit all AC current inputs and disconnect all AC voltage inputs
Unscrew the module.

Warning!
Hazardous voltage can be present in the DC circuit just after switching off the DC power
supply. It takes approximately 30 seconds for the voltage to discharge.
2)
Replacing the Human Machine Interface Module (front panel)
Open the relay front panel
Unplug the ribbon cable on the front panel by pushing the catch outside.
Detach the HMI module from the relay
Attach the replacement module in the reverse procedure.
3)
Replacing the AI, PWR, CPU, BI or BO module
Unscrew the module connector
Unplug the connector from the target module.
Unscrew the module.
Pull out the module

12 Maintenance
Inset the replacement module in the reverser procedure.
After replacing the CPU module, input the application-specific setting values again.
Warning!
Units and modules may only be replaced while the supply is switched off and only by
appropriately trained and qualified personnel. Strictly observe the basic precautions to
guard against electrostatic discharge.
Warning!
When handling a module, take anti-static measures such as wearing an earthed wrist band
and placing modules on an earthed conductive mat. Otherwise, many of the electronic
components could suffer damage. After replacing the CPU module, check the settings.
Danger!
After replacing modules, be sure to check that the same configuration is set as before the
replacement. If this is not the case, there is a danger of the unintended operation of
switchgear taking place or of protections not functioning correctly. Persons may also be
put in danger.
12.4 Cleaning
Before cleaning the relay, ensure that all AC/DC supplies, current transformer connections are
isolated to prevent any chance of an electric shock whilst cleaning. Use a smooth cloth to clean
the front panel. Do not use abrasive material or detergent chemicals.
12.5 Storage
The spare relay or module should be stored in a dry and clean room. Based on IEC standard
60255-1 the storage temperature should be from -40oC to +70oC, but the temperature of from 0oC
to +40oC is recommended for long-term storage.
