Safety information
Strictly follow the company and international safety regulations.

Working in a high voltage environment requires serious approch to
aviod human injuries and damage to equipment
Do not touch any circuitry during operation. Potentially lethal

voltages and currents are present
Avoid to touching the circuitry when covers are removed. The IED
contains electirc circuits which can be damaged if exposed to static
electricity. Lethal high voltage circuits are also exposed when covers
are removed
Using the isolated test pins when measuring signals in open circuitry.
Potentially lethal voltages and currents are present
Never connect or disconnect wire and/or connector to or from IED

during normal operation. Dangerous voltages and currents are
present. Operation may be interrupted and IED and measuring
circuitry may be damaged
Always connect the IED to protective earth regardless of the

operating conditions. Operating the IED without proper earthing may
damage both IED and measuring circuitry and may cause injuries in
case of an accident.
Do not disconnect the secondary connection of current transformer

without short-circuiting the transformers secondary winding.
Operating a current transformer with the secondary winding open will
cause a high voltage that may damage the transformer and may
cause injuries to humans.
Do not remove the screw from a powered IED or from an IED

connected to power circuitry. Potentially lethal voltages and currents
are present
Using the certified conductive bags to transport PCBs (modules).

Handling modules with a conductive wrist strap connected to
protective earth and on an antistatic surface. Electrostatic discharge
may cause damage to the module due to electronic circuits are
sensitive to this phenomenon
Do not connect live wires to the IED, internal circuitry may be

damaged
When replacing modules using a conductive wrist strap connected to

protective earth. Electrostatic discharge may damage the modules
and IED circuitry
When installing and commissioning, take care to avoid electrical

shock if accessing wiring and connection IEDs
Changing the setting value group will inevitably change the IEDs
operation. Be careful and check regulations before making the
change

Disturbance recorder
3.1
Introduction
To get fast, complete and reliable information about fault current, voltage,
binary signal and other disturbances in the power system is very
important. This is accomplished by the disturbance recorder function and
facilitates a better understanding of the behavior of the power system and
related primary and secondary equipment during and after a disturbance.
An analysis of the recorded data provides valuable information that can
be used to explain a disturbance, basis for change of IED setting plan,
improvement of existing equipment etc.
The disturbance recorder, always included in the IED, acquires sampled
data from measured analogue quantities, calculated analogue quantity,
binary input and output signals.
The function is characterized by great flexibility and is not dependent on
the operation of protection functions. It can even record disturbances not
tripped by protection functions.
The disturbance recorder information is saved for each of the recorded
disturbances in the IED and the user may use the local human machine
interface or dedicated tool to get some general information about the
recordings. The disturbance recording information is included in the
disturbance recorder files. The information is also available on a station
bus according to IEC 61850 and IEC 60870-5-103.
Fault wave recorder with great capacity, can record full process of any
fault, and can save the corresponding records. Optional data format or
wave format is provided, and can be exported through serial port or
Ethernet port by COMTRADE format.

Time synchronization
5.1
Introduction
Use the time synchronization source selector to select a common source
of absolute time for the IED when it is a part of a protection system. This
makes comparison of events and disturbance data between all IEDs in a
SA system possible.
5.2
Synchronization principle
Time definitions
The error of a clock is the difference between the actual time of the clock,
and the time the clock is intended to have. The rate accuracy of a clock is
normally called the clock accuracy and means how much the error
increases, i.e. how much the clock gains or loses time. A disciplined clock
is a clock that knows its own faults and tries to compensate for them, i.e.
a trained clock.
Synchronization principle
From a general point of view synchronization can be seen as a
hierarchical structure. A module is synchronized from a higher level and
provides synchronization to lower levels.
18

A module is said to be synchronized when it periodically receives
synchronization messages from a higher level. As the level decreases,
the accuracy of the synchronization decreases as well. A module can
have several potential sources of synchronization, with different
maximum errors, which gives the module the possibility to choose the
source with the best quality, and to adjust its internal clock from this
source. The maximum error of a clock can be defined as a function of:
5.2.1
The maximum error of the last used synchronization message
The time since the last used synchronization message
The rate accuracy of the internal clock in the module.
Synchronization from IRIG

The built in GPS clock module receives and decodes time information
from the global positioning system. The module is located on the
Communication Module (MASTER). The GPS interfaces to the IED
supply two possible synchronization methods, IRIGB and PPS (or PPM).
5.2.2
Synchronization via PPS or PPM

The IED accepts PPS or PPM to the GPS interfaces on the
Communication Module. These pulses can be generated from e.g.
station master clock. If the station master clock is not synchronized from
a world wide source, time will be a relative time valid for the substation.
Both positive and negative edges on the signal can be accepted. This
signal is also considered as a fine signal.
5.2.3
Synchronization via SNTP

SNTP provides a Ping-Pong method of synchronization. A message is
sent from an IED to an SNTP-server, and the SNTP-server returns the
message after filling in a reception time and a transmission time. SNTP
operates via the normal Ethernet network that connects IEDs together in
an IEC61850 network. For SNTP to operate properly, there must be a
SNTP-server present, preferably in the same station. The SNTP
synchronization provides an accuracy that will give 1ms accuracy for
binary inputs. The IED itself can be set as a SNTP-time server.
19
Setting
6.1
Introduction
Settings are divided into separate lists according to different functions.
The printed setting sheet consists of two parts -setting list and
communication parameters.
6.2
Operation principle
The setting procedure can be ended at the time by the key SET or
QUIT. If the key SET is pressed, the display shows the question
choose setting zone. The range of setting zone is from 1 to 16. After
confirming with the setting zone-key SET, those new settings will be
valid. If key QUIT is pressed instead, all modification which have been
changed will be ignored.
20
Authorization
7.1
Introduction
To safeguard the interests of our customers, both the IED and the tools
that are accessing the IED are protected, subject of authorization
handling. The concept of authorization, as it is implemented in the IED
and the associated tools is based on the following facts:
There are two types of points of access to the IED:
local, through the local HMI
remote, through the communication ports
There are different levels (or types) of guest, super user and
protection engineer that can access or operate different areas of the
IED and tools functionality.

Chapter 3 Basic protection elements
Chapter 3 Basic protection

elements
About this chapter

This chapter describes basic protection elements including
startup elements, phase selectors and directional elements.
23
Startup element
1.1
Introduction
Startup elements are designed to detect a faulty condition in the power
system and initiate all necessary procedures for selective clearance of
the fault, e.g. determination of the faulted loop(s), delaying time starting
for different functions. IED startup can release DC power supply for
binary output contacts. Once startup element operates, it does not reset
until all abnormal conditions have reset.
Startup element includes:
1.2
Current sudden-change startup element(abrupt current)
Zero-sequence current startup element
Over current startup element
Low-voltage startup element in weak-source
steady state consistence loosing startup
Sudden-change current startup element

Sudden-change current startup element is the main startup element that
can sensitively detect most of faults. Its criteria are as followings:
i I _ abrupt
or
3i0 I _ abrupt
Equation 1
where
24
i is the sudden-change value of phase current sample
means AB,BC or CA, e.g. iAB= iA-iB
3i0 is sudden-change value of zero sequence current sample
I_abrupt is the setting value of sudden-change current startup

element.
The sudden-change current startup operates when any phase-to-phase

current sudden-change i or zero-sequence sudden-change current
3i0 continuously exceed the setting I_abrupt.
1.3
Zero-sequence current startup element

In addition to current sudden-change startup element, zero-sequence
current element has also been considered to improve required sensitivity
of the fault detection at faults with high resistance. As an auxiliary startup
element, it operates with a short time delay. Its criterion is as following:
3I0 > kI0dz
Equation 2
Where
3I0 is the trippled value of zero-sequence current
k is internal coefficient
I0dz is Min{3I0_Tele EF, 3I0_EF1, 3I0_EF2, 3I0_EF Inv, 3I0_Em/BU

EF, 3I0_Inv_Em/BU EF, 3I0_SOTF}
3I0_Tele EF is setting value of teleprotection based on earth fault

protection
3I0_EF1 is the setting value of definite time stage 1 of the earth fault
protection
3I0_EF2 is the setting value of definite time stage 2 of the earth fault
protection
3I0_EF Inv is the setting value of inverse time stage of the earth fault
protection
25

3I0_Em/BU EF is the setting value of emergency/backup earth fault
protection
3I0_Inv_Em/BU EF is the setting value of emergency/backup earth

fault protection
1.4
3I0_SOTF is the zero-sequence current setting of SOTF protection
Overcurrent startup element

If overcurrent protection function is enabled, over current startup element
is also considered to improve fault detection sensitivity. Same as zero
sequence current startup and to get reliable action, overcurrent startup
operates with 30ms delay as an auxiliary startup element. Its criteria are
as follows:
Ia > kIoc
or
Ib > kIoc
or
Ic > kIoc
Equation 3
where
Ia(b,c) is measured phase currents
Ioc is min{ I_OC1, I_OC2, I_OC Inv, I_Em/BU OC, I_Inv_Em/BU OC,
I_STUB, I_SOTF }
I_OC1 is the setting value of definite time stage 1 of the overcurrent

protection function.
I_OC2 is the setting value of definite time stage 2 of the overcurrent

I_OC Inv is the setting value of inverse time stage of the overcurrent
I_Em/BU OC is the setting value of emergency/backup overcurrent

protection
26

I_Inv_Em/BU OC is the setting value for inverse time stage of
emergency/backup overcurrent protection
1.5
I_STUB is the setting value of STUB protection
I_SOTF is the setting value of SOTF protection
Low-voltage startup element (for weak infeed

systems)
In conditions that one end of the protected line has a weak-source and
accordingly the fault sudden-change phase to phase current is too low to
startup the IED, low-voltage startup element can come into service to
startup the tele-protection communication scheme with weak-echo logic.
When IED receives signaIs from another side, its operation criteria are as
follows:
Upe < kUpe_Secondary
or
Upp < kUpp_Secondary
Equation 4
where:
1.6
Upe is each phase-to-earth voltage
Upp is each phase-to-phase volatge.
U_Secondary is the system secondary rated voltage
Steady state consistence loosing startup

The operation criteria of steady state consistance loosing startup are (OR
logic) as followings:
Ia > I_PSB, Ib > I_PSB, Ic > I_PSB, and the sudden-change current
27

startup element hasn't operated
All the phase-to-phase impedance of AB, BC and CA are located in
zone 3 area, and the sudden-change current startup element hasn't
operated
If any of the conditions has continued for 30ms, steady state consistence
loosing startup will operated.
Phase selector
2.1
Introduction
To efficiently detect faulty phase(s), An integrated phase selector is used
for various fault types. By processing on the currents and voltages values,
IED detects whether a fault is single-phase or multiple-phase. Therefore,
selected phase(s) is (are) used to issue phase selective trip command.
Three types of phase selector are designed:
Sudden-change current phase selector
Fault current symmetric component (zero and negative sequence)

phase selector
Low voltage phase selector
Current sudden-change phase selector routine operates immediately

after sudden-change current startup. In addition, symmetric component
phase selector is implemented. However, both current sudden-change
phase and symmetric component phase selector are not applicable for
weak-infeed sides. Therefore, low-voltage phase selector is employed in
this condition.
2.2
Sudden-change current phase selector

Current Sudden-change phase selector employs phase-to-phase
differential currents IAB, IBC and ICA (IXY=IX-IY). Faulty phases
can be determined by comparing the values of these differential current
toward each other.
Table 2 shows the relative value of the phase-to-phase differential current
IAB, IBC and ICA at the various fault types. In this table + means
28

the larger value,++ the largest oneand - indicates the small one.
Therefore after any current sudden-change startup, the value of IAB,
IBC and ICA are sorted into three categories mentioned above.
Accordingly, 7 categories, each of them indicates one type of fault, may
happen. For example, if the values of IAB and ICA are large while
IBC is small (with regard to each other), IED will select fault type as
phase A fault. Nevertheless, if IAB is very large, while IBC and ICA
are small at the same time, IED will determine fault type as AB.

Symmetric component phase selector

As mentioned before, IED additionally applys symmetric component
phase selector. This method mainly uses the angle between zero and
negative sequence components of the fault current. It also confirms the
seleted phases by calculating phase-phase impedances.
Theoretical analysis has demonstrated that the angle betweenzero and
negative sequence current components ( I 2 I 0 ) can be usded to
select faulty phases. This concept has been shown in Figure 1 and Table
3.

For example, if the angle between I2 and I0 is in the range of -30to +30
the fault type may be A-phase to ground or BC-phases to ground.
As indicated inTable 3, areas 2, 4 and 6 directly determines related fault
type, but areas 1, 3 and 5 indicate that two type of fault may happen. In
this case, the two fault types can be differentiated by phase-to-phase
impedance calculation. If the impedance is larger than specified value,
then phase-to-phase fault is impossible and single-phase to ground fault
will be confirmed. Otherwise phase-to-phase fault will be selected.
2.4
Low-voltage phase selector

In the case of weak-infeed source, two previous phase selector cannot
operate reliablly. Therefore low-voltage phase selector has been
considered in the weak-infeed sides. In this case the IED will monitor VT
Fail condition. When there is no problem with VT and IED receives
signaIs from another side, low-voltage phase selector can operate
according to the following criteria:
Upe < kUpe_Secondary
or
Upp < kUpp_Secondary
Equation 5
where:
30

Upe and Upp are phase-to-earth and phase-to-phase volatges,
respectively.
U_Secondary is the system secondary rated voltage
k is the internal coefficient
Directional elements
3.1
Introduction
Four kinds of directional elements are employed for reliable
determination of various faults direction. The related protection modules,
such as distance protection, tele-protection, overcurrent and earth fault
protections, utilize the output of the directional elements as one of their
operating condition. All the following directional elements will cooperate
with the above protection functions.
3.2
Memory voltage directional element

The IED uses the memory voltage and fault current to determine the
direction of the fault. Therefore, transient voltage of short circuit
conditions wont influence the direction detection. Additionally, it improves
the direction detection sensitivity for symmetrical or asymmetrical
close-in faults with extremely low voltage. But it should be noted that the
memory voltage cannot be effective for a long time. Therefore, the
following directional elements will work as supplement to detect direction
correctly.
3.3
Zero sequence component directional element

Zero-sequence directional element has efficient features in the solidly
grounded system. The directional characteristic only relates to zero
sequence impedance angle of the zero sequence network of power
system, regardless of the quantity of load current and/or fault resistance
throughout the fault. The characteristic of the zero sequence directional
is illustrated in Figure 2.

element
Negative sequence directional element can make an accurate direction
discrimination in any asymmetric fault. The directional characteristic only
relates to negative sequence impedance angle of the negative sequence
network of power system, regardless the quantity of load current and/or
fault resistance throughout the fault. The characteristic of the negative
sequence directional element is illustrated in Figure 3.

About this chapter

This chapter describes the protection principle, input and
output signals, parameter, IED report and technical data
used for line differential protection function.

5.1
Introduction
The line differential protection consists of three protection functions,
phase segregated differential protection function, sudden change current
differential protection function and zero sequence current differential
protection function. These three functions are associated to achieve high
sensitivity and reliability with capacitive charge current compensation and
reliable phase selection, during various system disturbances. The
precise time synchronization of sampling ensures the differential
protection of both end IEDs to operate reliably.

Sudden-change current differential

protection
The sudden-change current differential protection calculates the fault
current only, the sudden change variable part of whole current. Without
influence of load current, the protection function has high sensitivity,
especially, to fault through arc resistance on heavy load line. However,
for the sudden change current, the variable will fade out quickly in short
time, thus, the whole current differential protection presented above is
still needed to cover entire fault detection and clearance period.
The protection provides two-slope percent differential characteristic
shown in Figure 7.

Zero-sequence current differential

protection
As a complement to phase segregated differential protection, the zero
sequence current differential protection is used to enhance the sensitivity
on the earth fault through high arc resistance. It always clears the fault
after a delay time. The protection provides one slope percent differential
characteristic, as shown in Figure 8.

Other principle
9.1
Startup element
9.1.1
Weak-source system startup

If one of the ends of the protected line is weak source or without source,
the current may be very small when internal fault occurs and IED cant be
initiated. Under this circumstance, the weak-source system startup
element could be started by low-voltage and differential current.
If all the following conditions are satisfied, IED in weak-source end could
be started after it receives startup signal from remote terminal. Thus, it
will trip after sending out a permissive signal to the remote end (to let it
trip).
9.1.2
Receive startup signal from remote terminal.
There is at least one phase differential current larger than the

operation current: IA(,B,C)_Diff> I_Diff.
The corresponding phase ro earth voltage Upe is less than 36V or

phase-to-phase voltage Upp less than 60V.
Remote beckon startup

If fault occurs in high resistance line, IED far from fault location may not be
able to start as its current may be very small, even if IED near the fault
location can start reliably. Under this circumstance, the remote beckon
startup element could be started by differential current and
sudden-change voltage. If all the following conditions are satisfied, Remote
beckon startup element could be started:
Receive startup signal from opposite side.
Zero-sequence differential current is larger than the operation

current: 3I0 > I_Diff ZeroSeq, or segregated-phase differential
current is larger than the operation currentIA(,B,C)_Diff> I_Diff;
Local IED: UPE>8V or 3U0 >1V.

9.2
Capacitive current compensation

Ic I M IN is calculated as actual measured charging current under
normal operation(before startup).
IC is taken as floating threshold after startup.
The actual voltage of both terminals is used to accurately compensate
charging current that is called half compensation scheme which half
charging current of both terminals are compensated respectively.

CT saturation discrimination
Based on current waveform principle, the protection can discriminate the
CT saturation condition. Once under this condition, the protection will use
a new differential and restraint characteristic shown in Figure 12, to
guarantee the security of the protection.

9.4
Tele-transmission binary signals

In the IED, two binary signals can be transmitted to the remote end of the
line in the binary bits of each data frame, which are tele-transmission
command 1 and tele-transmission command 2. When the remote IED
receives the signals, relevant operation will be performed.
9.5
Direct transfer trip

In the IED, one binary input is provided for remote trip to ensure the
remote IED fast tripping when fault occurs between CT and circuit
breaker, or in case of a breaker failure. It is used to transmit the trip
command of dead zone protection or circuit breaker failure protection to
trip the opposite end circuit breaker.
9.6
Time synchronization of Sampling

The differential protection of both end IEDs can be set as master or slave
49

mode. If one IED is set as master, the IED at the other end should be set
as slave. To ensure sampling synchronization between both IEDs, the
salve IED sends a frame of synchronization request to master IED. After
the master IED receives the frame, it returns a frame of data including its
local time. Then the slave IED can calculate both the communication
delay time and the sampling time difference with the master IED. Thus,
the slave IED adjusts its sampling time and the IEDs of both ends come
to complete sampling synchronization.
9.7
Redundant remote communication channels

The differential protection is able to receive data from the redundant
remote communication channels in parallel. When one of the channels is
broken, there is no time delay for primary channel switching.
9.8
Switch onto fault protection function

Under either auto reclosing or manual closing process, the protection
function is able to discriminate these conditions to give an instantaneous
tripping once closing on permanent faulty line.

Setting explanation
9.11.2.1
Explanation of part setting

I_Diff HighFor the long lines, set to be larger than 2-times
capacitive current if capacitive current compensation is employed, or
larger than 2.5-times capacitive current if capacitive current
compensation is not enabled. For the short lines, current differential
protection has higher sensitivity due to few capacitive current of line, then,
this setting can be raised properly.
1)
55

I_Diff LowFor the long lines, set to be larger than 1.5-times
capacitive current if capacitive current compensation is employed, or
larger than 1.875-times capacitive current if capacitive current
compensation is not enabled. It has 40ms time delay. I_Diff ZeroSeq
Set to avoid the maximum unbalanced current at external three-phase
fault while it has enough sensitivity at internal earth fault with high
resistance. It is generally believed that setting of zero-current differential
protection is less than 0.1In. This setting of both terminal protections
ought to be set as secondary values based on the same primary values.
2)
I_Diff TA Fail Set to avoid the maximum load current during

normal operation. This setting of both terminal protections ought to be set
as secondary values based on the same primary values. Attention If
Block Diff CT_Fail is enabled, differential protection will lose selectivity
when external fault occurs after TA fail.
3)
CT Factor It is set to be 1 for the protection with the biggest

rated primary current of CT, compensation factor of the other protections
is set to be the value obtained by dividing primary rated current of local
TA by the maximum primary rated current. For example, TA ratio of
terminal M is 1200/1that of terminal N is 800/5, and that of terminal T is
600/5. Compensation factor of M can be set to 1that of N is
800/1200=0.6667and that of T is 600/1200=0.5.

When the capacitive current is less than 0.1In, capacitive current of
compensation is needless, so the control world Comp Capacitor Cur set
"0", and the positive- and zero-sequence capacitive reactance of line
could be set as 9000.
When the capacitive current exceeds 0.1In. The control world Comp
Capacitor Cur should be set "1". Set according to secondary value of
line full-length. Table 10 provide reference to capacitive reactance and
capacitive current of per 100 km. When adjusting setting, TA
transformation ratio and TV transformation ratio should be considered.

Distance protection
1.1
Introduction
Transmission line distance protection covers five full scheme protection
zones in addition to one zone extension. The IED employes separated
measuring element for three single-phase fault loops and three phase to
phase fault loops for each individual zones.
Individual settable zones in resistance and reactance component give the
flexibility for useing on overhead lines and cables of different types and
lengths.
The independent measurement of impedance for each fault loop together
with a sensitive and reliable built in phase selection makes the function
suitable in applications with single phase auto-reclosing. Figure 16
illustrates the different available zone characteristics.

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

1.2.3
Extended polygonal distance protection zone

characteristic
When a fault occurs on the piont of the protection relay installed, the
64

voltage can be zero, theoretically, at the point of the fault. Considering
the VT and other errors, when the polarity of the impedance
measurement does not reflect the true distance from the fault, two
incorrect cases may occur:
The fault is near the bus and in the forward direction but measured
impedance is not within the forward quadrilateral characteristic.
The fault is near the bus and in the reverse direction but measured
impedance is not within the reverse quarilateral characteristic
Using fault phase current and voltage only, resistance value can not
accurately determine whether fault occurs in the reverse direction or the
forward direction. To solve the problem, IED considers the small
rectangle near to origin to extend protection zones. Therefore, to
increase relay reliable operation in addition to the tripping characteristic
mentioned above, an extended zone area with a little rectangular
characteristic is involved. In this case, final direction is determined based
on both extended zone charachterisitc and the criteria mentioned in
Figure 19, including memory voltage direction element, the zero
sequence directional element, and the negative sequence direction
element. In other words, relay generates trip if both direction and
extended zone impedance confirm each other.
This rectangular area, which is called impedance-offset characteristic,
has been shown in Figure 19 which is added to the characteristic shown
in Figure 18.

The operation of the distance measuring zone is blocked if the
magnitudes of input currents fall below certain threshold values.
For both phase-to-earth loop and phase-to-phase loop, Ln is blocked if
ILn < 0.1In
ILn is the RMS value of the current in phase Ln.
1.2.5
Measuring principle
A separate measuring system has been provided for each of the six
possible impedance loops A-E, B-E, C-E, A-B, B-C, C-A. The impedance
calculation will be continued whether a fault has been detected.
Based on the following differential equations, measuring elements
calculates relevant loop impedances with real-time voltages and
currents.
Measuring of the single phase impedance for a single phase fault is as
follows:
U L
66
d(I K X 3I 0 )
R (I K r 3I 0 )
dt
: A, B, C

Equation 6
Measuring of the phase-phase impedance for multi-phase faults is as

follows:
U L
dI
R I
dt
: AB, BC, CA
Equation 7
Where, Kx and Kr are residual compensation factors. Matching of the

earth to line impedance is an essential prerequisite for the accurate
measurement of the fault distance (distance protection, fault locator)
during earth faults. This compensation will be done by residual
compensation settings value:
Kx=(X0-X1)/3X1
Equation 8
and
Kr=(R0-R1)/3R1
Equation 9
Measuring resistance R and reactance X (L=2fL) at IED location can

be obtained by solving above differential equations.
For example, solving above equations leads to the following relation for
phase-phase (A-B) short circuit which can be used to calculate the
phase-to-phase loop impedance.

In addition, solving differential equation for single phase (e.g. A-E)

results:

Equation 12
This can be used for resistance and reactance calculation by separating

it to real and imaginary parts.
The impedances of the unfaulted loops are also influenced by the
short-circuit currents and voltages in the short-circuited phases. For
example, during an A-E fault, the short-circuit current in phase L1 also
68

appears in the measuring loops A-B and C-A. The earth current is also
measured in loops B-E and C-E. In addition to the load currents which
may flow, the unfaulted loops will be affected by faulted loop current
which have nothing to do with the actual fault distance/impedance.
Effect in the unfaulted loops is usually larger than the short-circuit
impedance of the faulted loop, because the unfaulted loop only carries a
part of the fault current and always has a larger voltage than the faulted
loop. As mentioned before, after triggering impedance calculations by
any startup element, all impedance loops will be calculated by separated
(non-switch) measuring systems. First, the symmetric component phase
selector chooses the influenced loops, than the IED compare the
impedance of these loops to remove the unfaulted loops.
1.2.6
Distance element direction determination

Considering the VT and other errors, the polarity of the measured
impedance may not reflect the true distance from the fault. So, the IED
judges the fault direction through using integrated directional elements.
Using memory voltage to judge the direction of the distance protection is
an efficient method. Therefore, IED also uses the memory voltage and
fault current to determine the direction of the fault. Under normal
circumstances, using memory voltage to judge the direction of the fault
has merit, since the transient process has not been affected. But the
memory voltage can not be a long effective quantity. Therefore, IED
needs to rely on forward and reverse direction to expand the logic. IED
uses the direction of zero sequence and negative sequence directional
elemenst to supplement the direction of the distance protection.
Zero-sequence directional element has very good features in the neutral
grounding system. The directional characteristics only relates to zero
sequence impedance angle of the zero sequence network of back power
system which has large or small load current and/or fault resistance
effects. There is no memory voltage problem, and direction can be
reliably detected using zero-sequence directional element. For more
detail about zero sequence direction detection refer to Earth fault
protection.
Negative sequence directional element has very clear direction in any
asymmetric fault. The directional characteristics only relate to negative
sequence impedance angle of the negative sequence network of back
power system which has large or small load current and/or fault
69

resistance effects, etc. Like zero sequence, there is also no memory
voltage problem, and direction can be reliably detected in this case by
using negative sequence. For more detail refer the chapter earth fault
protection.
In summary, the distance protection has two essential conditions to
operate: corresponding direction detection element is satisfied and
calculated impedance is entered into the impedance characteristics zone.
The usage of direction elements is different for five zone characteristics:
The first zone: it is used as fast zone commonly. Since high speed
and required selectivity are quite essential, requirements for the direction
component must be forward direction.
The extended first zone: it is different from the other five zones. It
doesn't work until the Auto-reclosing has been fully charged. It is a back
up of teleprotection.
The second zone: it is used as time delay zone commonly.
Considering enough reliability, its direction criterion is not reverse

direction.
The third zone: Generally, it is used as the last forward direction zone.
The delay time is longer. Its direction criterion is not reverse direction.
The fourth zone: it is used as non-forward direction zone commonly, so
requirement for the direction component is not forward direction.
The fifth zone: like zone 4, if it is used as reverse direction, its
direction criterion is not forward direction.

For three phase faults, direction checking is only determined by memory
voltage. In this case, IED considers impedance characteristics as well as
memory voltage determination.
If there is neither a current measured voltage nor a memorized voltage
available which is sufficient for measuring the direction, the IED selects
the forward direction. In practice this can only occur when the circuit
breaker closes onto a de-energized line, and there is a fault on this line
(e.g. closing onto an earthed line).

Power swing blocking

1.2.7.1
Introduction
Power swings are oscillations in power flow. The power grid is a very
dynamic network that connects generation to load via transmission lines.
A disturbance-such as a sudden change of load whereas the mechanical
power input to generators remains relatively constant, a power system
fault, or a trip of a large generation unit-may break the balance, cause the
oscillations among the generator rotor angles and force the generators to
adjust to a new operating condition. The adjustment will not happen
instantaneously due to the inertia of the generator prime movers.
Oscillation rate is determined by the inertia of the system and
impedances between different generators.
1.2.7.2
Principle of operation
Power swings are variations in power flow that occur when the internal
voltages of generators at different locations of the power system slip
relative to each other. In this way, voltage and current waveforms will
have a low frequency oscillation over the power system nominal
frequency. Therefore impedance trajectory seen by a distance IED may
enter the fault detection zones and cause unwanted IED operation. For
example consider a simple case with two machine system shown in
Figure 22 to show the system behavior in power swing condition.
Figure 22 Two machine system to simulate power swing behavior
1.2.7.3
Impedance trajectory
The current passing through the feeder (IL) will be calculated in any time
by:
IL
ES ER
ZS ZL ZR
Equation 13
The direction of current flow will remain the same during the power swing
event. Only the voltage displacement will change.
71

The impedance measured at an IED at bus A would then be:
VA ES IL.ZS ES
ES.(ZS ZL ZR)
ZS
ZS
IL
IL
IL
ES ER
Equation 14
It is assumed that that ES has a phase advance of over ER and that the
ratio of the two source voltage magnitudes, ES/ER, is k. Then:
ES
k (cos j sin )
k (k cos ) j sin
ES ER k (cos j sin ) 1
(k cos ) 2 sin 2
Equation 15
For the particular case where the two sources magnitudes are equal or k
is one, Equation 15 can be expressed as:
ES
1
(1 j cot )
ES ER 2
2
Equation 16
And finally the impedance measured at the IED will be:
VA (ZS ZL ZR)
(1 j cot ) ZS
IL

Equation 17
Therefore, the trajectory of the measured impedance at the IED during a

power swing varies when the angle between the two source voltages
changes. Figure 23 shows the impedance trajectories for different
voltage ratios between two machines.
72
Figure 23 Impedance trajectories for k values
Figure 24 shows the practical possible impedance trajectory which may

happen in the power system. Cases 1 and 2 indicate a stable power
swing which entered the distance protection tripping zone. Case 3 is
unstable power swing which enters and exits the trip zones. Case 4 also
shows the impedance trajectory in the case of short circuit occurrence in
the power system.
Figure 24 Impedance trajectories for different power swing conditions
1.2.7.4
Power swing blocking/unblocking

To ensure the correct operation of the protection logic and avoiding IED
mal-operation in power swings conditions, power swing blocking function
73

has been integrated in IED. The main purpose of the PSB function is to
differentiate between faults and power swings and block distance.
However, faults that occur during a power swing must be detected and
cleared with a high degree of selectivity and dependability. Power swing
blocking happens if one of the following conditions remains for 30ms.
All phase currents are bigger than the current setting of I_PS, and
the sudden-change current elements have not operated.
All phase-to-phase impedances loops enter into the largest zone of

distance relay, and the sudden-change current elements have not
operated.
As mentioned, if any of the above conditions has been valid for 30ms,
power swing startup will operate and protection program is switched to
power swing blocking routine. At the same time, I_PS STARTUP (for
the first condtion) or Z STARTUP (for the second condition) and
RELAY STARTUP signals are reported. It should be note that I_PSB
should be set larger than maximum load current in the protected feeder.
Operation of sudden-change current indicates a fault occured in the
power system network. In short circuit conditions, the measured
impedance jumps instantaneously from load impedance area to the fault
detection zones. On the other hand, power swings have a slow behavior.
So, lack of operation of current sudden-change element beside high
measured current and/or low calculated impedance indicates that power
swing happened in the system. Therefore above condition has been used
to initiate power swing startup element.
In addition, experimental results of power swing show that it is not
possible for impedance vector to come into the first distance zone in 150
msec after current sudden-change startup operation. Therefore, power
swing blocking logic has been designed such that in 150 msec after
current sudden-change startup, power swing blocking will not happen
and distance protection can trip in this duration if required conditions
fulfill.
System power swings are normally three-phase symmetrical processes.
Therefore, in general, a certain degree of measured value symmetry may
be assumed. Accordingly, beside current sudden-change startup, zero
sequence current startup will be used to remove or prevent power swing
blocking. In addition fault detection during a power swing removes power
swing blocking in the tripping logic.
This unblocking logic of the zones which have already blocked with
74

power swing blocing has been shown in Figure 25. In this logic,
Z1(2,3,4,5)_PS blocking indicates corresponding setting value for
blocking of the zones in power swing condition.

The amount of kinetic energy gained by the generators during a fault is

directly proportional to fault duration and the positive sequence voltage at
the point of fault. Therefore, application of highspeed relaying systems
and high-speed breakers is essential in locations where fast fault clearing
is important. So, the faults that occur during a power swing must be
detected and cleared with a high degree of selectivity and dependability.
For this purpose, IED considers different fault detector elements during
power swing occurrence for symmetric and asymmetric faults. It also
provides six binary settings which can be set to block individually each
protection zones (Zx_PS blocking where x, 1, 1Ext, 2, 3, 4,5, indicates
zone number).
In the duration of power swing, there is a special program module to
detect whether power swing has been finished or not. So, after removing
of all the conditions that indicate power swing occurrence, IED will be
reset and exited from power swing module by Relay reset time.
1.2.9.4.1
Asymmetric faults detection element

Power swing is generally a three phase system and some degree of
symmetric behavior is considered in this condition. Therefore, zero and
negative sequence current can distinguish fault from power swing. The
criterion is described as following:
|I0|>m1|I1| or I 2>m2|I 1|
75

Equation 18
Factors m1 and m2 ensure that power swing can be reliability

differentiated from internal asymmetric faults. When only power swing
occurs in the network, zero and negative sequences will be close to zero
and it is not possible for the above equations to be fulfilled. When both
power swing and external asymmetric fault occur, the zero and negative
sequences, which will be seen by IED, are not so considerable to satisfy
above equations. But in the case of power swing and internal asymmetric
fault happening at the same time, zero and negative sequence of the
measured current will be large enough to detect the fault in the power
swing durations.
Therefore, mal-operation of the protection IED will be prevented by
checking above criteria.
1.2.9.4.2
Three phase fault detection element
As mentioned, the amount of kinetic energy in the generator rotors is

proportional to duration of faults which may be dangerous for system
stability, particularly in three phase faults. Therefore, a three phase fault
in power swing duration should be cleared as soon as possible. IED
guarantees fast tripping of the three phase faults in power swing duration
by considering following states.
Impedance and resistance trajectory in the power swing
During power swing, measuring resistance or impedance at the IED
location will change continuously with time. Changing rate will be affected
by the inertia of the system and impedances between different
generators. In addition, this rate is also characterized by swing period
and the machine angle, . Figure 26 shows a typical trajectory of
measuring resistance in the power swing duration. Rf indicates normal
load resistance component and Tz power swing period. During power
swing, whether the trajectory of measuring impedance is a line or a
circular arc on R-X plane depends on the voltage ratios between
machines in an equivalent two machine system.
76
(a) Resistance (Rm) trajectory in normal and power swing condition

(b) Impedance trajectory on R-X plane in power swing condition
Figure 26 Trajectory of the measuring impedance during power swing
Resistance trajectory in three phase faults

When a three phase fault occurs on the protected line, resistance
component of measuring impedance maybe changes due to short circuit
arc. Analysis shows that arc resistance rating in three phase fault is far
less than that of resistance changing corresponding to the possibly
largest swing period. Figure 27 illustrates measured resistance trajectory
in normal and three phase fault conditions. In this figure RK indicates
resistance in three phase short circuit. Unlike power swing conditions,
resistance variation after three phase fault is negligible.
77

Figure 27 Measuring resistance trajectory in normal and three phase faults
Therefore, power system is determined to be in power swing condition if

its measuring resistanceis continuously changing in a monotony manner.
Conversely, three phase short circuit will be determined if resistance
variations seem to be a small constant.
To determine the resistance variation threshold value, worst case
condition is considered. This will happen when the difference between
internal angles of generators is 180(in an equivalent two machine
system) and power system has maximum power swing period TZMAX.
This condition has been shown in Figure 28.
Figure 28 Trajectory of the measuring resistance with =180o and TZMAX
Therefore, a minimum resistance variation Rmin(180,TZMAX,) is

obtained by introducing a measuring window time equal to . In this way,
for any swing period, the following relation will be valid for measured
resistance variation:
R Rmin(180,TZMAX, )
Equation 19
Considering measuring error and margin coefficient, above criterion

should be changed to:
R KRmin(180,TZMAX, )
78

Equation 20
where K is a less than 1.

Considering above processes, fault detection criteria in power swing
condition will be as following:
If resistance variation follows: R < Rmin(180o,TZMAX, ), it is

concluded that three phase short has occurred during the power
swing.
If resistance variation follows: R Rmin(180o,TZMAX, ), it is

concluded power swing condition without three phase fault has
happened.
Fault detection using impedance jumping

In conditions when three phase fault suddenly occurs on the protected
line outside the power swing center point or the generator difference
angle () is not approximately 180, the magnitude and angle of
measured impedance will jump and exceed rated changes. Based on this
behavior, distance element can be unblocked quickly when three-phase
fault happen with above conditions.
1.2.8
Phase-to-earth fault determination

For phase-to-earth fault logic, zero-sequence current or zero-sequence
voltage should also be considered. For solid earthed system, only if the
measured trinal zero-sequence current is no less than the setting
3I0_Dist_PE could phase-to-earth fault be determined; For isolated
netral system, only if the measured trinal zero-sequence current is no
less than the setting 3I0_Dist_PE, and the measured trinal
zero-sequence voltage is no less than the setting 3U0_Dist_PE, could
phase-to-earth fault be determined.

1.2.9.1
Distance protection tripping logic

As mentioned, when a fault occurres, one or more startup elements,
including current sudden-change startup, zero sequence current startup
and low-voltage startup, will detect the fault. Impedance calculation
computes all measuring loops (A, B, C, A-B, B-C, C-A) simultaneously
using 6 measuring systems. Additionally, phase selector sequence will
run and determines faulted loops accurately. Finarlly, selected fault
impedance and setting values will be compared to verify that fault is
within protection zones.
By checking and fulfilling the fault detection criteria, IED distance
protection will trip according to the following logics for different faults and
zones:
No Power swing
One of the main criteria in tripping logic of different zones is that IED
doesnt detect power swing. Power swing blocking can be activated
individually by different binary settings (Zx_PS blocking, where x
indicates a zone number). In IED, power swing will be detected by power
swing startup elements (for detail information refers under heading
Power swing blocking/unblocking).

characteristic zone and direction checking criteria confirms that the fault
is forward direction. In addition, power swing unblocking should be
released. As mentioned before, power swing blocking for zone 1 can be
selected individually by binary setting Z1_PS blocking. If the Z1_PS
blocking is set to off, power swing blocking is disabled. If the setting
Z1_PS blocking is set to on, power swing blocking will be enabled.

Figure 31 Zone 3 fault detection tripping logic
Above figure shows the fault detection logic of zone 3. The main
condition of detection is that the calculated impedance lies within Z3
characteristic zone. In addition, detection logic is different for symmetric
and asymmetric faults. For asymmetric faults IED checks direction
criteria to be not reverse while in symmetric faults only the calculated
impedance will be considered. Same as previous ones, power swing
blocking for zone 3 can also be selected individually by binary setting
Z3_PS blocking. If Z3_PS blocking is set to off, power swing
blocking is disabled. If Z3_PS blocking is set to on, power swing
blocking will be enabled.
Zone 4 & 5 faults
Figure 25 shows fault detection logic of zones 4 and 5. Same as zone3,
calculated impedance vector is the main criteria of the zones 4 and 5
detection logic. Since these zones can be selected as forward or reverse
direction, detection logic will be different in these two cases. Forward
direction will be selected if direction detection criteria conciders that the
fault is Not Reverse. Conversely, inverse direction will be selected if
direction detection checking determines fault as Not Forward. Here, it is
also possible to select zones 4 and 5 blocking in power swing condition by
binary settings Z4_PS blocking and Z5_PS blocking.

Tripping logic
Distance protection tripping will be blocked in the case of VT Fail
83

detection (for more detail, refer to under heading VT Fail detection). In
addition in the case of Switch-onto-Fault condition, the delay timers of
zone 1, 2 and 3 will be bypassed and short circuit will be immediately
removed.
IED provides two binary settings, AR Init by 3p AR Init by 2p to set
auto-reclosing operation for three phase faults, phase to phase fault, and
single phase faults.
If both binary settings AR Init by 3p and AR Init by 2p are disabled,
IED only initiates auto-reclosing for single phase faults.
If both AR Init by 3p and AR Init by 2p are enabled, IED can operate
both for three phase faults, phase to phase fault, and single phase faults.
If binary setting AR Init By 2p is enabled, while AR Init By 3p is
disabled, AR will only be initiated by phase to phase fault or single phase
faults.
Tripping of distance protection by Zone 2 to 5 is also considered to be
permanent without any auto-reclosing initiation.

Reverse_Z4 and forward_Z4: zone 4 of the distance can be selected

to operate for reverse direction or forward direction. The mode of
operation can be set in these binary settings.
Reverse_Z5 and forward_Z5: zone 5 of the distance can be selected

to operate for reverse direction or forward direction. The mode of
operation can be set in these binary settings.
Power swing Blocking: the operation of zone 1, extension zone 1,

zone 2, zone 3, zone 4 and zone 5 can be separately selected to be
block or unblock during power swing. When the bit is set to 1,
distance protection zones are disabled by power swing blocking
elements. If the bit is set to 0, for any distance protection zone, the
relay can send trip command even in power swing condition.
3I0_Dist_PE and 3U0_Dist_PE: minimum zero-sequence current

and minimum zero-sequence voltage for phase-to-earth protection
operation.

Zone Z1 impedance settings

The resistance settings of the individual zones have to cover the fault
resistance at the fault location. For the Zone 1 setting only arc faults will
be considered. The length of the arc is greater than the spacing between
the conductors (ph-ph), because the arc is blown into a curve due to
thermal and magnetic forces. For estimation purposes it is assumed that
arc lenght is twice the conductor spacing. To obtain the largest value of
Rarc, which is required for the setting, the smallest value of fault current
must be used. According to the conceptthat arc approximately has the
characteristic with 2500V/m, the arc resistance will be calculated with the
following equation:
Rarc
2500 / m 2 ph ph spacing
I 3PH MIN
To calculate the minimum three phase short circuit current, it is required

to calculate the short circuit current in the end of line:

I3ph- min=1pu/[Z_source+Z_Line] :
2.350 pu =3.396 kA
On secondary I3ph- min:
8.489 A
So, by considering the 3 m Ph-Ph spacing:

Rarc =4.417
By addition of a 20 % safety margin and conversion to secondary
impedance the following minimum setting is calculated (division by 2 is
because of this fact that Rarc appears in ph-ph loop measurement while
the setting is done as phase impedance or positive sequence
impedance):
R( Z1)
1.2 Rarc CTR / PTR

2
So, R (Z1)min=0.265 in Secondary Side

This calculated value corresponds to the smallest setting required to
obtain the desired arc resistance coverage. Depending on the X(Z1)
reach calculated, this setting may be increased to obtain the desired
Zone 1 polygon symmetry.
For phase to phase fault
X1+ =0.353 /km
CTR=2000/5A
CTR/PTR=0.100
PTR=400/0.1kV
L1=127km
Xline1+ =4.48 Secondary
Rline+ =0.384 Secondary
Since, there is not any tele-protection scheme, to get fast tripping on the
96

longer length, Z1 setting for phase to phase fault is set to %85 of the line
instead %80.
X (Z1) =0.85 X+Line1 -Secondary

For phase to phase fault
Considering minimum setting vaule of R(Z1) calculated before, for
overhead line protection applications, the following rule of thumb may be
used for the R(Z1) setting to get the best symmetry on polygon
characteristic:
0.8 X ( Z1) R( Z1) 2.5 X ( Z1)

So,
3.05 R (Z1) 9.53
Therefore, in this case, setting value for R(Z1) is considered as:
98

R (Z1) = 3.10 in Secondary Side
For phase to earth fault
The phase to earth fault resistance reach is calculated along the same
way as ph-ph faults. For the earth fault however, not only the arc voltage
but also the tower footing resistance must be considered.
RTF (1
I2
) Effective Tower Resistance
I1
It is assumed that each tower resistance equals to:
15
Effective tower resistance considering the parallel connection of multiple

tower footing resistance 2
In the above equation, I2/I1 is the ratio between earth fault currents at the
opposite end to the local one. Where no information is available on the
current ratio, a value of approx. 3 is assumed for a conservative
approach.
Assumed I2/I1=3
So,
RTF=8
For the calculation of Rarc using the formula introduced above, without
detail information about the tower configuration, ph totower spacing is
assumed to be 3m in the worst case (conservative solution).

XZ2)SET =XE (Z2)SET =6.72 + 0.07= 6.79 in secondary side
Resistance coverage for all arc faults up to the set reach must be applied.
As this zone is applied with overreach, an additional safety margin is
included, based on a minimum setting equivalent to the X(Z2) setting and
arc resistance setting for internal faults, R(Z1) setting. Therefore:
R( Z 2) Min
X ( Z 2)
R(Z1)
X ( Line1sec ondary )
SoR (Z2) Min =4.65 in secondary side

According to the above minimum value, the setting is considered as:
R (Z2) =4.70 in secondary side
Similar to the R(Z2) setting, the minimum required reach for RE(Z2)
setting is based on the RE(Z1) setting which covers all internal
fault
resistance and the X(Z2) setting which determines the amount of
overreach. Alternatively, the RE(Z2) reach can be calculated from the
R(Z2) reach with the following equation:
RE ( Z 2)
102
X ( Z 2)
1.2 RE ( Z1)
X ( Line1secondary )

So,
RE (Z2)Min=5.58 in secondary side
Here the maximum value between R(Z2) and RE(Z2)min is selected:
So, RE (Z2) =5.58 in Secondary Side
On the other hand, the resistance reach setting for Z2 and Z3 are set
according to the maximum load current and minimum load voltage. The
values are set somewhat (approx. 10 %) below the minimum expected
load impedance.
Maximum transmission power =250MVA
Imax =401 A at Vmin=0.9*Vn
Zload_Prim. = (0.9 400kV) / (401 3) =518.334
Zload_Sec=52
When applying a security margin of 10 % the following is set:
Zload_Sec. =47
Assuming a minimum power factor of Cosmin at full load condition = 0.85
So, Rload_Sec. =40
The spread angle of the load trapezoid load (-E) and load (-)
must be greater (approx. 5) than the maximum arising load angle
(corresponding to the minimum power factor cos).
load = ArcCos (0.85) + 5 37
Therefore, according to the protection zones characteristic and maximum
calculated load impedance and angle, we will have:

Rload=40

R (ohm)
Therefore the maximum setting of R-Z3 should be as: 40-15.1=24.91

The calculated resistance for Z2 is far from the above maximum value
and so is acceptable. Finally, the zone 2 and 3 setting should as follows:

Without any information about line3, Z3 is set %50 larger than Zone2, as
follows:
Operating mode Z3

8.37

Zone 4 is considered to protect %30 of the zone 1 in reverse direction.
So, X (Z4) =0.3X(Z1)=1.16 in secondary side
So, XE(Z4) =0.3XE(Z1)=1.07 in secondary side
So, R (Z4) = 0.3R(Z1)= 0.93 in secondary side
Similar to the R(Z4) setting, the upper and lower limits are defined by
minimum required reach and symmetry. In this application RE(Z4) reach
is set same as R(Z4). And finally:
RE(Z4) = 0.3RE(Z1)= 0.93 in secondary side

Teleprotection schemes for distance
1.1
Introduction
Distance teleprotection is an important function in the IED to get fast
tripping of the short circuit in the area near to remote end. The function
employs carrier sending and receiving feature, power line carrier (PLC)
or dedicated fiber optic communication channels, to implement different
tele-protection scheme configuration.
1.2
Teleprotection principle
1.2.1
Permissive underreach transfer trip (PUTT) scheme

By setting the binary PUR mode to 1/on, teleprotection logic works in
permissive under reach mode. The permissive under reach transfer trip is
shown in Figure 42. The scheme is based on receiving and sending
signals. IED sends distance carrier signal if its startup elements operate
and a fault occurs in the first protection zone (Z1). To get reliable
operation in remote line end, the carrier send signal is prolong for 200
msec after resetting of the trip signal.
According to this scheme, IED will generate a trip command if a fault has
been detected in second protection zone (Z2) and a carrier signal has
been received for at least 5 msec. According to the mode selected (single
phase operation, three phase protection and also auto-reclosing mode),
teleprotection scheme can generate single or three phase tripping.For
more detail about tripping mode refer under heading Automatic reclosing
function.
In the following, different conditions are considered to show the operation
of the IED in the permissive under reach transfer trip mode.

Figure 42 Teleprotection logic for permissive under reach transfer trip
Internal fault-faults within protected line

Startup element operates when an internal fault occurs. If the fault has
been detected in Z1, IED trips local CB and sends signal to the remote
end. If fault occurs in the protected line outside Z1 setting, local CB will
be tripped instantaneously by detection of fault in Z2 and receiving of the
carrier signal from remote end for at least 5 msec.
External fault-faults outside of the protected line
For external faults in reverse direction, protection IED doesnt send a
distance carrier signal. Therefore, remote end distance relay doesnt
generate an instantaneous trip command by only detection of a fault in its
Z2 characteristic. Conversely, for external faults in forward direction, local
IED may detect the fault in Z2 but it doesnt generate trip command
because lack of any receiving carrier signal from remote end. Therefore
both local and remote end distance protection will be stable for the
external faults without any tripping.
1.2.2
Permissive overreach transfer trip (POTT) scheme

This mode of operation can also be useful for extremely short lines where
a typical setting of 85% of line length for Z1 is not possible and selective
non-delayed tripping could not be achieved. In this case zone Z1 must be
delayed by a time, to avoid non- selective tripping of distance protection
by Z1.
Teleprotection logic works in permissive overreach mode if binary setting
112
POR mode is set to 1-on. The permissive overreach transfer trip logic
has been shown in the below figure.

Figure 43 Teleprotection logic for permissive over reach transfer trip
This scheme is based on receiving and sending signals. IED sends

distance carrier signal if startup elements operate and a fault occurs in
the Z2 protection zone. To get reliable operation of the remote end, any
carrier sent signal is prolonged for 200ms after resetting of trip signal.
Additionally, to support permissive overreach scheme in the case of weak
infeed sources, special echo logic is considered in IED.
In this scheme, IED generates a trip command if a fault has been
detected in Z2 zone and a carrier signal received for at least 5 msec.
According to mode selected (single phase operation, three phase
protection and also auto-reclosing mode), teleprotection scheme can
generate single or three phase tripping. For more detail about tripping
mode refer under heading Automatic reclosing function.
1.2.3
Blocking scheme
In this scheme of operation, the transferring signal is utilized to block the
IED during external faults. The blocking signal should only be transmitted
when the fault is outside the protected zone in reverse direction.
The significant advantage of the blocking procedure is that no signal
needs to be transferred during faults on the protected feeder.
Teleprotection blocking will be applied in if the binary setting Blocking
mode is set to 1-on. Related logic is shown in Figure 44

Figure 44 Blocking scheme
IED sends blocking signal if startup elements operate and a fault has
been detected in reverse direction, e.g. Z4 considered as reverse. In this
scheme, IED generates a trip command if a fault has been detected in Z2
of the protection zones and no blocking signal received for at least 25
msec. According to the selected mode (single phase operation, three
phase protection and also auto-reclosing mode), teleprotection scheme
can generate single or three phase tripping. For more detail about
tripping mode refer under heading Auto-reclosing function.
In the following, different conditions will be considered to show operation
of the protected IED in the blocking mode.
Internal faults - faults within protected line
If an internal fault occurs, startup element operates and IED trips local
CB instantaneously if it is within Z1 zone. Since the fault is not reverse,
no blocking signal will be sent and remote end will generate trip
command by detection the fault in its Z2 zone. If fault occurs in the
protected line but outside of the Z1 setting, local CB tripping happen
instantaneously by detection of fault in Z2 and no receiving blocking
signal from remote end for at least 25 msec.
External faults - faults outside of protected line
For external faults in the reverse direction, IED sends a distance carrier
blocking signal. Therefore, remote end distance relay doesnt generate
an instantaneous trip command by only detection of a fault in its Z2
characteristic zone. Conversely, in the case of external fault in forward
direction, local IED may detect the fault in Z2 but it doesnt generate trip
command because of the receiving blocking signal from remote end.
114
Therefore both local and remote end distance IED will not trip for this
external fault.
1.2.4
Additional teleprotection logics
1.2.4.1
Direction reversing for external fault

For parallel lines, an external fault can cause direction reversal that may
generate unwanted tripping, if no suitable solution is considered. For
example, in Figure 45, there are parallel lines protected by distance
protection on each side. Additionally, the lines are protected using POTT
scheme. In this figure, a fault is occurred on line C-D and next to breaker
D. IED A can see the fault in its Z2 but its tripping will be prevented
because no carrier signal is received from side B. Now, if breaker in D is
tripped by its local IED before circuit breaker C, the fault current direction
in line A-B will suddenly reverse. This may cause distance teleprotection
in B to send carrier signal and therefore generate unwanted tripping of
breaker A. To have a reliable and selective trip command in each side
and solve the problem in these transition situations, some coordination
time should be considered. For this purpose, IED sends signal with a
setting delay time, T_Tele Reversal, if direction changes from reverse to
forward. This setting delay time exceeds the period when both sides
detect forward direction. Additionally, to have a reliable and selective trip
command for another internal fault, both sides will trip only after receiving
signal for at least 15msec.
Figure 45 Direction reversing for external fault in parallel lines
1.2.4.2
Weak infeed feeders

A special case for the application of permissive over reach transfer trip is
that fast tripping must be achieved for a feeder that has a weak infeed at
one end. In this case an additional echo-circuit with tripping supplement
must be provided at this end.
115
During a fault behind the weak infeed end, short circuit current flows
through the protected feeder to the fault location. The IED at the weak
infeed end will start with this current and recognize the fault in the reverse
direction. It will therefore not send a release signal to the strong infeed
end. The permissive over reach transfer trip protection is stable.
During an internal fault near the strong source side the IED at the weak
infeed end will not pickup, as insufficient current flows from this side into
the feeder. The signal received by the weak infeed end is returned as an
echo and allows the tripping at the strong infeed.
Simultaneously with the echo, the circuit breaker at the weak infeed end
may be tripped by the IED.
Therefore by operating low voltage startup element and receiving carrier
signal for at least 5 msec, distance carrier signal will be sent and
prolonged for 200 msec to ensure the IED at the remote end (strong
source) trips quickly and reliably. In this case local weak feeder
generates trip command, too. In addition, in the case of carrier receiving
and then CB opening, signal sending will be prolonged for 200 msec to
correct and reliable operation of remote end.

Teleprotection for directional earth fault is an important feature in the
transmission line protection. Similar to distance tele-protection, the
function employs carrier sending and receiving feature, power line carrier
(PLC) or dedicated fiber optic communication channels, to implement
different tele-protection scheme configuration.

It will come into operation if binary setting 3I0_Tele_FUNC is set to

1/on and POR mode has been selected.In the case of an internal fault,
the startup elements operate and DEF carrier signal will be sent if
measured earth fault current exceed setting 3I0_Tele EF, its direction
indicates forward fault and its delay time setting T0_tele EF expired. In
addition, if binary setting Tele_EF Inrush Block has been set to 1/on,
directional earth fault carrier sending can be blocked by inrush current
detection.
When an external fault occurs, fault direction in one end will be reverse.
120
Therefore, in this end, no tripping command will be generated by
directional earth fault carrier receiving.
In addition, carrier sending will prolong for 200 msec for reliable
operation of remote end. The prolongation of the send signal only comes
into effect when the protection has already issued a trip command. This
ensures that the permissive signal releases the opposite line end even if
the earth fault is very rapidly cleared by a different independent
protection.

Chapter 7 Overcurrent protection
About this chapter

This chapter describes the protection principle, input and output
signals, parameter, IED report and technical data used for
overcurrent protection.
126
1 Overcurrent protection
1.1
Introduction
The directional/non-directional overcurrent protection function can be applied
as backup protection functions in various applications for transmission lines.
The directional overcurrent protection can be used based on both the
magnitude of the fault current and the direction of power flow to the fault
location. Main features of the overcurrent protection are as follows:
2 definite time stages and 1 inverse time stage
Supporting of all IEC and ANSI predefined time-inverse characteristic

curves (4 IEC and 7 ANSI) as well as an optional user defined characteristic
Settable directional element characteristic angle, to satisfy different

network conditions and applications
Each stage can be set individually as directional/non-directional
Each stage can be set individually for inrush restraint
Cross blocking function for inrush restraint
Settable maximum inrush current
VT secondary circuit supervision for directional protection. Once VT

failure happens, the directional stage can be set to be blocked automatically
1.2
1.2.1
Measured quantities
The phase currents are fed to the IED via the input current transformers. The
earth current 3I0 could also be connected to the starpoint of the current
transformer set directly as measured quantity.
1.2.2
Time characteristic
127

There are 2 definite time stages and 1 inverse time stage. All 12 kinds of the
time-inverse characteristics are available. It is also possible to create a user
defined characteristic. Each stage can operate in conjunction with the
integrated inrush restraint, directional determination feature. Furthermore,
each stage is independent from each other and can be combined as desired.
Each phase current is compared with the corresponding setting value with
delay time. If currents exceed the associated pickup setting value, after the
time delay elapse, the trip command is issued.
The pickup value for time-inverse stage can be set in setting value. The
measured phase currents compare with corresponding setting value. The
protection will issue a trip command with corresponding time delay if any
phase exceeds the setting value.
The time delay of time-inverse characteristic is calculated based on the type
of the characteristic, the magnitude of the current and a time multiplier. For
the time-inverse characteristic, both ANSI and IEC based standard curves are
available and any user-defined characteristic can be defined using the
following equation:
A _ OC
T
i
I _ OC Inv
Inv
P _ OC Inv
B _ OC Inv K _ OC INV
Equation 21
where:
A_OC Inv: Time factor for inverse time stage
B_OC Inv: Time delay for inverse time stage
P_OC Inv: index for inverse time stage
K_OC Inv: Time multiplier Inrush restraint feature
The IED may detect large magnetizing inrush currents during transformer
energizing. Inrush current comprises large second harmonic current which
does not appear in short circuit current. Therefore, inrush current may affect
the protection functions which will operate based on the fundamental
component of the measured current. Accordingly, inrush restraint logic is
provided to prevent overcurrent protection from maloperation.
128

The inrush restraint feature operates based on evaluation of the 2 nd harmonic
content which is present in measured current. The inrush condition is
recognized when the ratio of second harmonic current to fundamental
component exceeds the corresponding setting value for each phase. The
setting value is applicable for both definite time stage and inverse time stage.
The inrush restraint feature will be performed as soon as the ratio exceeds
the set threshold.
Furthermore, by recognition of the inrush current in one phase, it is possible
to set the protection in a way that not only the phase with the considerable
inrush current, but also the other phases are blocked for a certain time. This is
achieved by cross-blocking feature integrated in the IED.
Additionally, the inrush restraint feature has a maximum inrush current setting.
Once the measuring current exceeds the setting, the overcurrent protection
will not be blocked any longer.
1.2.3
Direciton determination feature

The direction detection is performed by determining the position of current
vector in directional characteristic. In other words, it is done by comparing
phase angle between the fault current and the reference voltage. Figure 47
illustrates the direction detection characteristic for phase A element.

Table 40 presents the assignment of the applied measuring quantities used in
direction determination for different fault types. In this way, healthy line to line
voltages are used as reference voltage for determination of fault current
direction in any phase.

For three-phase short-circuit fault, without any healthy phase, memory

voltage values are used to determine direction if the measured voltage values
are not sufficient. During direction detection, if VT fail happens (a short circuit
or broken wire in the voltage transformer's secondary circuit or voltage
transformer fuse), maloperation may occur by directional overcurrent
elements if there is not any monitoring on the measured voltage. In such
situation, directional (if selected) overcurrent protection will be blocked.

1 Directional/Non-directional earth fault

portection
1.1
Introduction
In the grounded systems, extremely large fault resistances could cause
calculated impedance to be outside the fault detection characteristic of the
distance protection. Therefore, protection relay may not trip by distance
protection function and need to be supplemented by other protections. So,
the directional/non-directional earth fault protection function which can detect
reliably high resistance faults is required. The directional earth fault protection
allows the application of the protection IED also in systems where protection
coordination depends on both the magnitude of the fault current and the
direction of power flow to the fault location, for instance in case of parallel
lines. Generally directional/non-directional protection function features
following options:
2 definite time stages and 1 inverse stage (covers all IEC/ANSI
characteristics)
Individually selectable direction detection for each stage
Negative sequence direction detection (selectable) in the cases that 3U0

is less than 1V and 3U2>3U0
1.2
Individually selectable inrush blocking for each stage
Inrush blocking using 2nd harmonic measured phase current
VT fail monitoring for directional earth fault protection
Three earth fault protection stages are provided, two definite time stages and
one inverse time stage. All stages can operate in conjunction with the
139

integrated inrush restraint and directional functions.
Furthermore, the stages are independent from each other and can be
combined as desired. They can be enabled or disabled by dedicated binary
settings. These binary settings include Func_EF1, Func_EF2 and
Func_EF Inv. For example, by applying setting 1/on to Func_EF1,
corresponding stage of earth fault protection would be enabled.
Individual pickup value for each definite stage can be defined by settings
3I0_EF1 and 3I0_EF2. By applying the settings, the measured zero
sequence current is compared separately with the setting value for each
stage. If the corresponding current is exceeded, startup signal will be
reported.
1.2.1
Time delays characteristic

The timer is set to count up for a pre-defined time delay. The time delay can
be set for each definite stage individually through settings T_EF1 and
T_EF1. Accordingly, whenever the set time delays elapsed, a trip command
is issued.
For Time-inverse characteristic, the pickup value can be defined by setting
3I0_EF Inv. The measured zero sequence current is compared with
corresponding setting value. If it exceeds the setting, related signal will be
reported and the tripping time is calculated according to the pre-defined
characteristic. The tripping curve can be set as IEC or ANSI standard curves
or any user-defined characteristic by following tripping time equation.

K_EF Inv: Time multiplier
By applying the desired setting values, the device calculates the tripping time
from the zero sequence current. Once the calculated time elapsed, report EF
Inv Trip will be issued.
1.2.2
Inrush restraint feature

The integrated earth fault protection may detect large magnetizing inrush
currents when a power transformer installed at downstream path is energized.
The inrush current may be several times of the nominal current, and may last
from several tens of milliseconds to several seconds. Inrush current
comprises second harmonic as well as a considerable fundamental
component.
It is possible to apply the inrush restraint feature separately to each definite
stage and inverse time-current stage of earth fault element by using binary
setting EF1 Inrush Block, EF2 Inrush Block and EF Inv Inrush Block. By
applying setting 1/on to the binary settings, no trip command will be issued,
if an inrush condition is detected.
Since the inrush current contains a relatively large second harmonic
component which is nearly absent during a fault current, the inrush restraint
operates based on the evaluation of the second harmonic content which is
present in the phase currents. Generally, inrush restraint for earth fault
protection is performed based on the second harmonic contents of three
phase currents.
The inrush condition is recognized if the ratio of second harmonic content in
each phase current to their fundamental component exceeds setting value
Ratio_I2/I1. The setting is applicable to the both definite stages of earth fault
protection element as well as the inverse time-current stage. As soon as the
measured ratio exceeds the set threshold, a blocking is applied to those
stages whose corresponding binary setting is considered to be block mode.
Furthermore, if the fundamental component of each phase current exceeds
the upper limit value Imax_2H_UnBlk, the inrush restraint will no longer be
effective, since a high-current fault is assumed in this case. Figure 49 shows
the logic of inrush restraint feature applied to earth fault protection. It is based
on phase currents and can be applied to any stage individually.

1.2.3
Earth fault direction determination

The integrated directional function can be applied to each stage of earth fault
element via individual binary settings. These control words include EF1
Direction, EF2 Direction and EF Inv Direction. There are two possibilities
for direction determination of earth faults. The first is based on zero sequence
components and the second is based on negative sequence components.
The following subsections go on to demonstrate basic principle of the two
methods.
1.2.3.1
Zero sequence directional component

In this method, the direction determination is performed by comparing the
zero sequence quantities. In current path, the measured IN current is valid
when the neutral current is connected to the device. In the voltage path, the
calculated zero sequence voltage (3U0) is used as reference voltage. This
can be performed when 3U0 magnitude is larger than 1V.
In order to satisfy different network conditions and applications, the reference
voltage can be rotated by adjustable angle Angle_EF between 0 and 90 in
clockwise direction (negative sign). It should be noted that the settings affect
all the directional stages of earth fault element. In this way, the vector of
rotated reference voltage can be closely adjusted to the vector of fault current
-3I0 which lags the fault voltage 3U0 by the fault angle d. This would provide
the best possible result for the direction determination. The rotated reference
voltage defines the forward and reverse area. The forward area is the range
between -80and +80of the rotated reference voltage. If the vector of the
fault current -3I0 is in this area, the device detects forward direction.
Figure 50 shows an example of direction determination for a fault in phase A.
As can be seen from the figure, fault current 3I0 lags from fault voltage Va.
Accordingly, fault current -3I0 lags residual sequence voltage 3U0 by this
angle. The reference voltage 3U0 is rotated to be as close as possible to -3I0
current. Furthermore, the forward area is depicted in the figure.

1.2.3.2
Negative sequence directional component

This method is particularly suitable when the zero sequence voltage has a
small magnitude, for instance when a considerable zero sequence mutual
coupling exists between parallel lines or when there is an unfavorable zero
sequence impedance. In such cases it may be desirable to determine
direction of fault current by using negative sequence components. To do so, it
is required to set binary setting EF U2/I2 Dir to 1/On. By applying this
setting, the direction determination of earth fault current is performed by
default using the zero sequence components. However, when the magnitude
of zero sequence voltage falls below permissible threshold of 1V and
negative sequence voltage is larger that 2V, the direction determination turns
to use the negative sequence components. In this case, the direction
determination is performed by comparing the negative sequence system
quantities. To do so, three times of the calculated negative sequence current
3I2 (3I2=IA+a2IB+aIC) is compared with three times of the calculated
negative sequence voltage 3V2 (3U2=UA+a2UB+aUC) as reference voltage,
where a is equal to 120.
On the contrary, by applying setting 0/Off to the binary setting EF U2/I2 Dir,
the direction of earth fault current is only determined by using the zero
143

sequence components. In this regard, if the zero sequence voltage has a
magnitude larger than 1V, proper determination of fault direction is warranted.
The fault current -3I2 lags from the voltage 3U2. To satisfy different
applications, the reference voltage can be rotated by adjustable angle
Angle_adjust_Neg between 50and 90in clockwise direction (negative
sign) to be as close as possible to the vector of fault current -3I2. This would
provide the best possible outcome for the direction determination. The rotated
reference voltage defines the forward and reverse area. The forward area is
the range between -80and +80of the rotated reference voltage. If the
vector of the fault current -3I2 is in this area, the device detects forward
direction. Below figure shows an example of direction determination for a fault
in phase A.

During direction decision, a VT Fail condition may result in false or undesired
tripping by directional earth fault element. Therefore occurance of the VT Fail,
directional earth fault protection will be blocked.

Logic diagram
The tripping logics of directional/non-directional earth fault protection are
144

shown in below figure. As shown, the tripping logic of the earth fault protection
will be affected individually by inrush and direction criteria. Whenever the zero
sequence current exceeds the related setting value and other mentioned
criteria is satisfied, corresponding timer will be started and tripping command
will be generated by expiring the time setting.

1 Emergency/backup overcurrent protection

1.1
Introduction
In the case of VT Fail condition, all distance zones and protection functions
related with voltage input are out of service. In this case, an emergency
overcurrent protection comes into operation.
Additionally, the protection can be set as backup non-directional overcurrent
protection according to the users requirement.
In case of emergency mode of operation, the function VT Fail supervision
function should be enabled.
The protection provides following features:
One definite time stage
One inverse time stage
all kinds of IEC and ANSI time-inverse characteristics curve as well as

optional user defined characteristic
Inrush restraint function can be set for each stage separately
Cross blocking of inrush detection
1.2
1.2.1
Tripping time characteristic

The tripping time can be set as definite time delay or time-inverse
characteristic. All (11) kinds of time-inverse characteristics are available. It is
also possible to create a user-defined time characteristic. Each stage can
operate in conjunction with the integrated inrush restraint which operates
based on measured phase currents.Each phase current is compared with the
corresponding setting value and related delay time. If currents exceed the
associated pickup value, the trip command is issued after expiry of the set
time delay.
155

Time-inverse characteristic is set according to the following equation:
A _ EM / BU OC Inv
T
B _ EM / BU OC Inv K _ EM / BU OC INV
P _ EM / BU OC Inv

The protection IED may detect large magnetizing inrush currents during
transformer energizing. In addition to considerable unbalance fundamental
current, inrush current comprises large second harmonic current which does
not appear in short circuit current. Therefore, the inrush current may affect the
protection functions which operate based on the fundamental component of
the measured current. Accordingly, inrush restraint logic is provided to
prevent emergency/backup overcurrent protection from maloperation.
The inrush restraint feature operates based on evaluation of the 2 nd harmonic
content which is present in measured current. The inrush condition is
recognized if the ratio of second harmonic current to fundamental component
exceeds the corresponding setting value. The setting value is applicable for
both definite time stage and inverse time stage. The inrush restraint feature
will be performed as soon as the ratio exceeds the set threshold.
Furthermore, by recognition of the inrush current in one phase, it is possible
to set the protection in a way that not only the phase with the considerable
inrush current, but also the other phases of the protection are blocked for a
certain time. This is achieved by cross-blocking feature integrated in the IED.
The inrush restraint function has a maximum inrush current setting. Once the
measuring current exceeds the setting, the protection will not be blocked any
longer.

2 Emergency/backup earth fault protection

2.1
Introduction
In the case of VT Fail condition, all distance protection element and protection
functions relating with voltage input are out of operation. In this case an
emergency earth fault protection can come into operation.
Additionally, the protection can be set as backup non directional earth fault
protection according to the users requirement.
In case of emergency mode of operation, the function VT Fail supervision
should beenabled.
The protection provides following features:
One definite time stage
One inverse time stage
All kinds of IEC and ANSI inverse characteristics curve as well as

optional user defined characteristic
Inrush restraint can be selected individually for each stage
CT secondary circuit supervision for earth fault protection. Once CT

failure happens, all stages will be blocked
Zero-sequence current is obtained from external input
2.2
2.2.1
Tripping time characteristic

The tripping time can be set as definite time delay or time-inverse
characteristic. All (11) kinds of time-inverse characteristics are available. It is
also possible to create a user-defined time character
ristic. Each stage can operate in conjunction with the integrated inrush
restraint which operates based on measured phase currents. The external
input earth current is compared with the corresponding setting value and
related delay time. If current exceed the associated pickup value, the trip
command is issued after expiry of the set time delay.
162

Time-inverse characteristic is set according to the following equation:
A _ EM / BU EF Inv
T
B _ EM / BU EF Inv K _ EM / BU EF INV
P _ EM / BU EF Inv
I _ EM / BU EF Inv
where:
A_Em/BU EF Inv: Coefficient setting for emergency zero-sequence inverse
time
B_Em/BU OC Inv: Time delay setting for emergency zero-sequence inverse
time
P_Em/BU OC Inv: Index for emergency zero-sequence inverse time
K_Em/BU OC Inv: Multiplier setting for emergency zero-sequence inverse
time
from the measured current. Once the calculated time elapsed, repoprt
Em/Bu EF Trip will be issued.
2.2.2

The IED may detect large magnetizing inrush currents during transformer
energizing. In addition to considerable unbalance fundamental current, inrush
current comprises large second harmonic current which does not appear in
short circuit current. Therefore, the inrush current may affect the protection
functions which operate based on the fundamental component of the
measured current. Accordingly, inrush restraint logic is provided to prevent
emergency/backup earth fault protection from maloperation.
The inrush restraint feature operates based on evaluation of the 2nd
harmonic content which is present in measured current. The inrush condition
is recognized when the ratio of second harmonic current to fundamental
component exceeds the corresponding setting value for each phase. The
setting value is applicable for both definite time stage and inverse time stage.
The inrush restraint feature will be performed as soon as the ratio exceeds
the set threshold.
The inrush restraint function has a maximum inrush current setting. Once the
measuring current exceeds the setting, the protection will not be blocked any
longer.

Switch-Onto-Fault protection
1.1
Introduction
The IED has a high speed switch-onto-fault protection function to clear
immediately faults on the feeders that are switched onto a high-current short
circuit. Its main application may be in the case that a feeder is energized
when the earth switch is closed.
1.2
Function principle
1.2.1
Function description
Switch-onto-fault protection can be enabled by binary setting SOTF FUNC.
If this is set to 1/on, switch-onto-fault protection will be active. Conversely,
setting SOTF FUNC to 0/ off will disable the function. The energization of
the feeder is determined by the circuit breaker state recognition function. The
prerequisite for switch-onto-fault operation is that circuit breaker has been
open for 10 seconds, or the binary input MC/AR Blockchanges from 1 to 0.
SOTF function will be active after rising edge of receiving signal MC/AR
block and if relay does not startup. The SOTF sequence will be inactive 1
second after falling edge of signal MC/AR block if no fault has been
occured in the system.
SOTF protection operates based on three elements: distance protection,
overcurrent protection and zero sequence (earth fault) protection.
Distance element of switch-onto-fault protection will trip instantaneously,
without any delay time, if calculated impedance lies in the protected zones
(zone 1, zone 2 or zone 3) and the maximum {Ia(b,c)}>I_SOTF_Dist. In
addition, switch-onto-fault protection is supplemented by overcurrent and
earth fault protections, and can generate trip command after settable delay
times (T_OC_SOTF and T_EF_SOTF). For T_EF_SOTF, since IED
needs to consider that three phases of CB are not closed at the same time, it
is recommended to set this value. (Besides, the program has already
considered 40ms time delay itself. ) Overcurrent elements works based on
maximum measured phase currents and will trip after related delay time if
maximum phase current exceeds setting I_SOTF. Similarly, earth fault
protection operates if measured zero sequence current exceeds setting value
171
protection
of 3I0_SOTF.
Additionally, it can be selected that overcurrent and earth fault element of switch-onto-fault
protection to be blocked in the case of inrush current. If binary setting SOTF Inrush Block
set to 1/on, blocking will be applied to distance zone 2, zone 3, overcurrent and earth fault
element. Setting to 0/off will lead to ignoring of the inrush blocking for switch-onto-fault
function. Similarly, if the measured current value exceeds the setting Imax_2H_UnBlk, it
is assumed that a short circuit happened and inrush blocking will not be considered.
Figure 60 shows the tripping logic diagram of switch-onto-fault protection.

Overvoltage protection
1.1
Introduction
Voltage protection has the function to protect electrical equipment against
overvoltage condition. Abnormally high voltages often occur e.g. in low
loaded, long distance transmission lines, in islanded systems when generator
voltage regulation fails, or after full load shutdown of a generator from the
system. Even if compensation reactors are used to avoid line overvoltage by
compensation of the line capacitance and thus reduction of the overvoltage,
the overvoltage will endanger the insulation if the reactors fail (e.g. fault
clearance). The line must be disconnected within very short time.
The protection provides the following features:
Two definite time stages
Each stage can be set to alarm or trip
Measuring voltage between phase-earth voltage and phase-phase

(selectable)
Settable dropout ratio
1.2
1.2.1
Phase to phase overvoltage protection

All the three phase voltages are measured continuously, and compared with
the corresponding setting value. If a phase voltage exceeds the set
thresholds, U_OV1 or U_OV2, after expiry of the time delays, T_OV1 or
T_OV2, the protection IED will issue alarm signal or trip command
according to the users requirement.
There are two stages included in overvoltage protection, each stage can be
set to alarm or trip separately in binary setting, and the time delay for each
stage can be individually set. Thus, the alarming or tripping can be
time-coordinated based on how severe the voltage increase, e.g. in case of
183

high overvoltage, the trip command will be issued with a short time delay,
whereas for the less severe overvoltage, trip or alarm signal can be issued
with a longer time delay.
Additionaly, the dropout ratio of the overvoltage protection can be set in
setting Dropout_OV. Therefore, the trip command of overvoltage is reset if
the measured voltage comes bellow the ratio value mentioned in this setting.
1.2.2
Phase to earth overvlotage protection

The phase to earth overvoltage protection operates just like the phase to
phase protection except that it detects phase to earth voltages.

Undervoltage protection
1.1
Introduction
Voltage protection has the function to protect electrical equipment against
undervoltage. The protection can detect voltage collapse on transmission
lines to prevent unwanted operation condition and stability problems.
The protection provides the following features:
Two definite time stages
Each stage can be set to alarm or trip
Measuring voltage between phase-earth voltage and phase-phase

(selectable)
Current criteria supervision
Circuit breaker aux. contact supervision
VT secondary circuit supervision, the undervoltage function will be

blocked when VT failure happens
Settable dropout ratio, both for single phase and three phases
1.2
1.2.1
Phase to phase underovltage protection

All the three phase voltages are measured continuously, and compared with
the corresponding setting value. If one phase voltage or three phase voltages
(by UV PE and UV Chk All Phase) falls below the set thresholds, U_UV1
or U_UV2, after expiry of the time delays, T_OV1 or T_OV2, the
protection IED will issue alarm signal or trip command according to the users
requirement.
There are two stages included in overvoltage protection; each stage can be
set to alarm or trip separately by binary settings, UV1 Trip and UV2 Trip.
Thus, the alarming or tripping can be time-coordinated based on how severe
the voltage collapse, e.g. in case of severe undervoltage happens, the trip
189

command will be issued with a short time delay, whereas for the less severe
undervoltage, trip or alarm signal can be issued with a longer time delay.
The undervoltage protection integrated can also be set for selection of the
measureing quantities. In this way, the user can select that the undervoltage
detection occurs when at least one phase sees voltage reduction or the
reduction of voltage should occur in all three phases. This feature can be
selected using binary setting UV Chk All Phase.
Additionaly, the dropout ratio of the undervoltage protection can be set in
setting Dropout_UV. Therefore, the trip command of overvoltage is reset if
the measured voltage comes bellow the ratio value mentioned in this setting.
1.2.2
Phase to earth undervoltage protection

The phase to earth undervoltage protection operates just like the phase to
phase protection except that the quantities considered are phase to earth
voltages.
1.2.3
Depending on the VT location

Depending on the configuration of the substations, the voltage transformers
are located on the busbar side or on the line side. This results in a different
behaviour of the undervoltage protection.

Figure 63 VT located at busbar side
When a tripping command is issued and the circuit breaker is open, the
voltage remains on the source side while the line side voltage drops to zero.
In this case, undervoltage protection may remain pickup. Therefore, to
190

resolve the problem, additional current criterion is considered. With the
current criterion, undervoltage protection can be maintained only when the
undervoltage criterion satisfied and a minimum current are exceeded the
setting I_UV_Chk. The undervoltage protection would dropout as soon as
the current falls below the corresponding setting. If the voltage transformer is
installed on the busbar side and it is not desired to check the current flow, this
criterion can be disabled by binary setting UV Chk Current.
1.2.3.2
Circuit breaker auxiliary contact checking

The IED can operate based on circuit breaker auxiliary contact supervision
criterion, for more security. With this feature, the IED would issue a trip
command when the circuit breaker is closed. This criterion can be enabled or
disabled via binary setting UV Chk CB. If it is not desired to supervise the
circuit breaker position for undervoltage protection, the criterion can be
disabled by the binary setting.

Circuit breaker failure protection
1.1
Introduction
The circuit breaker failure (CBF) protection function monitors proper tripping
of the relevant circuit breaker. Normally, the circuit breaker should be tripped
and therefore interrupt the fault current whenever a short circuit protection
function issues a trip command. Circuit breaker failure protection provides
rapid back-up fault clearance, in the event of circuit breaker malfunction in
respond to a trip command.

failure protection
1.2
Function Description
Circuit breaker failure protection can be enabled or disabled, via binary
setting Func_CBF. If the binary setting is set to 1/on, CBF protection would
be switched on. In this case, by operation of a protection function and
subsequent CBF initiation, a preset timer counts up. The CBF function issues
a local trip command (e.g. via a second trip coil) if the circuit breaker has not
been opened after expiry of the time setting T_CBF1. If the circuit breaker
doesnt respond to the repeated trip command until time setting T_CBF2,
the function issues a trip command to isolate the fault by tripping other
surrounding backup circuit breakers (e.g. the other CBs connected to the
same bus section with faulty CB).
Initiation of CBF protection can be carried out by both internal and external
protection functions. If CBF needs to be initiated by means of external
protection functions, specified binary inputs (BI) should be marshaled to the
equipment. 4 digital inputs are provided for externally initiation of the
integrated CBF function. The first one is 3-phase CBF initiation 3Ph Init CBF.
For phase segregated initiation other three binary inputs has been considered
as PhA Init CBF, PhB Init CBF and PhC Init CBF. These can be
applicable if the circuit breaker supports separated trip coil for each phase
and single phase auto-recloser function is active on the feeder. Additionally,
internal protection functions that can initiate the CBF protection integrated are
as following:
Distance protection
Teleprotection based on distance/DEF
Directional earth fault protection
Over current protection
SOTF protection
Emergency/Backup EF protection
Emergency/Backup overcurrent protection
Overvoltage protection (trip stages)
External initiation using binary input
There are two criteria for breaker failure detection: the first one is to check
whether the actual current flow effectively disappeared after a tripping
command had been issued. The second one is to evaluate the circuit breaker
auxiliary contact status. Since circuit breaker is supposed to be open when
200

failure protection
current disappears from the circuit, the first criterion (current monitoring) is
the most reliable means for IED to be informed about proper operation of
circuit breaker if the CBF initiating function had been based on current
measurement. Therefore,, both current monitoring and CB aux.contact are
applied to detect circuit breaker failure condition. In this context, the
monitored current of each phase is compared with the pre-defined setting,
I_CBF. Furthermore, it is also possible to select current checking in case of
zero-sequence and negative-sequence currents via binary setting CBF Chk
3I0/3I2. If setting 1/On is applied at the binary setting, zero-sequence and
negative-sequence currents are calculated and
compared
with user-defined settings. Corresponding settings include 3I0_CBF for

zero-sequence current and 3I2_CBF for negative-sequence current. The
logic for current criterion evaluation for CBF protection shows in Figure 66.

1.2.2
Circuit breaker auxiliary contact evaluation
For protection functions where the tripping criterion is not dependent on current
measurement, current flow is not a suitable criterion for detection of circuit breaker
operation. In this case, the position of the circuit breaker auxiliary contact should be used
to determine if the circuit breaker properly operated. It is possible to evaluate the circuit
breaker operation from its auxiliary contact status. To do so, binary setting CBF Chk CB
Status should be set to 1/On to integrate circuit breaker auxiliary contacts into CBF
function. A precondition for evaluating circuit breaker auxiliary contact is that open status of
CB should be marshaled to digital inputs of PhA CB Open, PhB CB Open and PhC CB
Open. The logic for evaluation of CB auxiliary contact for CBF protection is shown in
Figure 67. In this logic, the positions of the circuit breaker poles are determined from CB
aux. contacts if IED doesnt detect current flowing in the diagram.

Dead zone protection
1.1
Introduction
The IED provides this protection function to protect dead zone, the short area
between circuit breaker and CT in the case that CB is open. Therefore, by
occurrence of a fault in dead zone, the short circuit current is measured by
protection IED while CB auxiliary contacts indicate the CB is open.
1.2
In the case of feeders with bus side CTs, once a fault occurs in the dead zone,
the IED trips the relevant busbar zone CBs. Tripping concept is illustrated in
the below figure.

STUB protection
1.1
Introduction
Capacitor Voltage Transforemers (CVTs) are commonly installed at the line
side of transmission lines. Therefore, for the cases that transmission line is
taken out of service and the line disconnector is open, the distance protection
will not be able to operate and must be blocked.
The STUB protection protects the zone between the CTs and the open
disconnector. The STUB protection is enabled when the open position of the
disconnector is informed to the IED through connected binary input. The
function supports one definite stage with the logic shown inbelow figure.

Figure 76 STUB fault at circuit breaker arrangement
If IED detects short circuit current flowing while the line disconnector is open,
STUB fault is detected for the short circuit in the area between the current
transformers and the line disconnector. Here, the summation of CT1 and CT3
presents the short circuit current.
The STUB protection is an overcurrent protection which is only in service if
the status of the line disconnector indicates the open condition. The binary
input must therefore be informed via an auxiliary contact of the disconnector.
In the case of a closed line disconnector, the STUB protection is out of
service. The STUB protection stage provides one definite time overcurrent
stage with settable delay time. This protection function can be enabled or
disabled via the binary setting Func_STUB. Corresponding current setting
value can be inserted in I_STUB setting. The IED generate trip command
whenever the time setting T_STUB is elapsed.

Poles discordance protection
1.1
Introdcution
Under normal operating condition, all three poles of the circuit breaker must
be closed or open at the same time. The phase separated operating circuit
breakers can be in different positions (close-open) due to electrical or
mechanical failures. This can cause negative and zero sequence currents
which gives thermal stress on rotating machines and can cause unwanted
operation of zero sequence or negative sequence current functions.
Single pole opening of the circuit breaker is permitted only in the short period
related to single pole dead times, otherwise the breaker is tripped three pole
to resolve the problem. If the problem still remains, the remote end can be
intertripped via circuit breaker failure protection function to clear the
unsymmetrical load situation.
The pole discordance function operates based on information from auxiliary
contacts of the circuit breaker for the three phases with additional criteria from
unsymmetrical phase current.
1.2
1.2.1
The CB position signals are connected to IED via binary input in order to
monitor the CB status. Poles discordance condition is established when
binary setting Func_PD is set to 1/on and at least one pole is open and at
the same time not all three poles are closed. The auxiliary contacts of the
circuit breakers are checked with corresponding phase currents for
plausibility check. Error alarm CB Err Blk PD is reported after 5 sec
whenever CB auxiliary contacts indicate that one pole is open but at the same
time current is flowing through the pole.
Additionally the function can be informed via binary setting PD Chk 3I0/3I2 for
additionaly zero and negative sequence current as well as current criteria
involved in CBF protection. Pole discordance can be detected when current is
not flowing through all three poles. When current is flowing through all three
225

protection
poles, all three poles must be closed even if the breaker auxiliary contacts
indicate a different status.

Synchro-check and energizing check

function
1.1
Introduction
The synchronism and voltage check function ensures that the stability of the
network is not endangered when switching a line onto a busbar. The voltage
of the feeder to be energized is compared to that of the busbar to check
conformances in terms of magnitude, phase angle and frequency within
certain tolerances.
The synchro-check function checks whether the voltages on both sides of the
circuit breaker are synchronize, or at least one side is dead to ensure closing
can be done safely.
When comparing the two voltages, the synchro check uses the voltages from
busbar and outgoing feeder. If the voltage transformers for the protective
functions are connected to the line side, the reference voltage has to be
connected to a busbar voltage.
If the voltage transformers for the protective functions are connected to the
busbar side, the reference voltage has to be connected to a line voltage.
Note:
1.2
The reference voltage (single phase voltage) must be phase to earth

voltage.
The voltage phase for synchro-ckeck and energizing check can be

identified automatically by protection IED and there is no need to be set
by user.
Function principle
Synchro-check function can operate in several modes of operation, including
full synchro-check mode, energizing mode (dead line or bus check) and
override (synchro-check bypass) mode.
1.2.1
Synchro-check mode
231

The voltage difference, frequency difference and phase angle difference
values are measured in the IED and are available for the synchro-check
function for evaluation.
By synchronization request, the synchronization conditions will be checked
continuously. If the line voltages and busbar voltages are larger than the
value of Umin_Syn and meet the synchronization conditions, synchronized
reclosure can be performed.
At the end of the dead time, synchronization request will be initiated and the
synchronization conditions are continuously checked to be met for a certain
time during maximal extended time T_MaxSynExt. By satisfying
synch-check condition in this period, the monitor timer will stop and close
command will be issued for AR.
Before releasing a close command at synchronization conditions, all of the
following conditions should be satisfied:
1.2.2
All three phases voltage U(a,b,c) should be above the setting value
Umin_Syn.
The reference voltage should be above the setting value Umin_Syn.
The voltage difference should be within the permissible deviation U_Syn

Diff
The angle difference should be within the permissible deviation

Angle_Syn Diff
The frequency difference should be within the permissible deviation

Freq_Syn Diff
Energizing ckeck mode

In this mode of operation, the low voltage (dead) condition is checked
continuously whenever synchronization check is requested. If the line
voltages are less than Umax_Energ, reclosure can be performed. If the line
voltages and busbar voltages are all larger than Umin_Syn, the check mode
will automatically turn to full synchronization check mode.
In auto-recloser procedure, synchronization check request is triggered at the
end of the dead time. If the low voltage conditions are continuously met for a
certain numbers and during maximum extended time T_MaxSynExt, the
232

monitor timer will stop and close command will be issued for AR.
Before releasing a close command in low voltage conditions, one of the
following conditions need to be checked according to requirement:
Energizing check for dead line and live bus for AR enabled or disabled,
when the control word AR_EnergChkDLLB is on
Energizing check for live line and live bus for AR enabled or disabled,
when the control word AR_EnergChkLLDB is on
Energizing check for dead line and dead bus for AR enabled or disabled,
when the control word AR_EnergChkDLDB is on
1.2.3
Override mode
In this mode, autoreclosure will be released without any check.

Chapter 19 Auto-reclosing function
About this chapter

Auto-reclosing function.
240
Auto-reclosing
1.1
Introduction
For restoration of the normal service after a fault, an auto-reclosing attempt is
mostly made for overhead lines. Experiences show that about 85% of faults
are transient and can disappear when an auto-reclosing attempt is performed.
This means that the line can be connected again; the reconnection is
accomplished after a dead time via the automatic reclosing system. If the fault
still exists after auto-reclosing, for example, arc has not been cleared, the
protection will re-trip the circuit breaker (hereinafter is referred as CB).
Auto-reclosing is only permitted on overhead lines because a short circuit arc
can be extinguished only in overhead lines and not cable feeders. Main
features of the auto-reclosing function (hereinafter is referred as AR) are as
following:
1.2
4 shots auto-reclosing (selectable)
Individually settable dead time for three phase and single phase fault and
for each shot
Internal/external AR initiation
Single/three phase AR operation
CB ready supervision
CB Aux. interrogation
Cooperation with internal synch-check function for reclosing command
Function principle
The AR is able to cooperate with single-pole operated CB as well as
three-pole operated CB. The function provides up to 4 auto-reclosing shots
that can be determined by setting, Times_AR. Moreover, since the time
required for extinguishing short circuit arc is different for single or three phase
faults, the different dead time settings, T_1P ARn and T_3P ARn ( n
represents 1, 2, 3, or 4), AR have been provided to set single-pole tripping
dead time and three-pole tripping dead time of each shot separately.
1.2.1
Single-shot reclosing
241

When an external trip command initiates AR function, the reclosing program
is being executed. Dead time will be started by falling edge of the external
initiation signal. When dead time interval T_1P AR1 or T_3P AR1 has
elapsed, monitoring time T_MaxSynExt is started. During this period,
whenever synchronization condition is continuously met for T_Syn Check, a
closing pulse signal is issued. At the same time, reclaim time T_Reclaim is
started. If a new fault occurs before the reclaim time elapses, AR function is
blocked and cause final tripping of CB. However, if no fault occurs in reclaim
time, AR is reset and therefore will be ready for future reclosing attempts.
The typical tripping-reclosing procedure of single shot reclosing scheme, is
illustrated in time sequence diagrams, Figure 80, and is described as
following:
1) After trip command issued, CB will be opened in a short time.
2) The auto-reclosing is initiated when the current is cleared.
3) After the auto-reclosing delay time, T_1P AR1 (or T_3P AR1), elapses,
the reclosing command is issued if all reclosing conditions (e.g. synchro-check for 3-pole tripping) are satisfied without any blocking reclosing
input.
4) The AR pulse lasts for T_Action.
5) At the moment that the closing signal is issued, reclaim timer
T_Reclaim is started. By the end of this period, T_Reclaim, if there is
not fault happening, auto-reclosing operation is successful and then the
report, AR Success, is issued.
6) From the end of reclaim time, auto-reclosing function is blocked for the
AR reset time T_AR Reset.
7) If another fault occurs after the time, T_AR Reset, elapses, the auto-reclosing is ready now, and then a new tripping-reclosing procedure is
started and performed in same way.

1.2.2
Multi-shot reclosing
The first reclosing shot is, in principle, the same as the single-shot
auto-reclosing. If the first reclosing is unsuccessful, it doesnt result in a final
trip, if multi-shot reclosing is set to be performed. In this case, if a fault occurs
during reclaim time of the first reclosing shot, it would result in the start of the
next reclose shot with dead time T_1pAR1, T_1p AR2, T_1p AR3, T_1p
AR4, T_3P AR2, T_3P AR3 or T_3P AR4. This procedure can be
repeated until the whole reclosing shots which are set inside the device is
performed. Different dead times can be set to various shots of AR function.
This can be performed through settings T_1pAR1, T_1p AR2, T_1p AR3,
T_1p AR4, T_3p AR1, T_3p AR2, T_3p AR3, T_3p AR4. However, if
none of reclosing shots is successful, i.e. the fault doesnt disappear after the
last programmed shot, a final trip is issued, and reclosing attempts are
announced to be unsuccessful.
The typical tripping-reclosing procedure of two shots reclosing scheme, is
illustrated in time sequence diagrams, Figure 81, and is described as
following:
1) After trip command issued, CB will be opened in a short time.
2) The auto-reclosing is initiated when the current is cleared.
243

3) After the auto-reclosing delay time, T_1P AR1 (or T_3P AR1), elapses,
the reclosing command is issued if all reclosing conditions (e.g. synchro-check for 3-pole tripping) are satisfied without any blocking reclosing
input.
4) The AR pulse lasts for T_Action.
5) At the moment that the closing signal is issued, reclaim timer
T_Reclaim is started.
6) If the circuit breaker is closed on a fault during the period between the
dropout of closing command and the end of T_Reclaim, second tripping-reclosing procedure for second shot is started and performed like the
first tripping-reclosing procedure.
7) In this way, following shots will be performed in sequence if applied.
8) If none of the reclosing is successful, in other words, the fault is still
remained after the last shot reclosing, the final trip takes place, and the
result is AR Fail and AR should be blocked for AR reset time.
9) If one of the preset reclosing shots is successful, meaning that, by the
end of this period, T_Reclaim, there is not fault happening again, the
report, AR Success, is issued.
10) From the end of reclaim time, auto-reclosing function is blocked for the
AR reset time T_AR Reset.
11) If another fault occurs after the time, T_AR Reset, elapses, the auto-reclosing is ready now, and then a new multi shots tripping-reclosing
procedure is started and performed in same way.

1.2.3
Auto-reclosing operation mode

For the IED, whether single-pole tripping operation or three-pole tripping
operation and whether AR is active or not is determined by following binary
settings and related binary inputs.
The relevant binary settings are described as following,
AR_1p mode
In this mode of operation, auto-reclosing function will be initiated by
single phase tripping condition as well as using the external single pole
binary input initiation. If the three-phase AR initiation binary input, 3Ph
Init AR, is active, the closing function will be blocked.
AR_3p mode
In this mode of operation, auto-reclosing function only operates for
three pole closing.
AR_1p(3p) mode
In this mode of operation, auto-reclosing function operates for both
single pole tripping as well as three pole tripping.
245
AR_Disable
By setting this binary setting to 1, auto-reclosing function will be off or
out of service.
Note: If any illegal setting has been done, AR FUNC Alarm is
reported.
AR Init by 3p
By setting this binary setting to 1, auto-reclosing function can be
initiated by three phase faults as well as single phase faults. Otherwise,
auto-reclosing can be done only for single phase faults according to the
mode of auto-reclosing operation define previously.
AR Init by 2p
By setting this binary setting to 1, auto-reclosing function can be
initiated by two phase fault.
Relay Trip 3pole

When AR is disabled, by setting this binary setting to 0, IED performs
single- pole tripping at single phase fault and perform three-pole
tripping at multi-phase fault. Setting this binary setting to 1 will result in
three-pole tripping at any faults.
AR Final Trip
By setting this binary setting to 1, auto-reclosing function generates a
three pole trip command for an unsuccessful single pole reclosing.
In the AR_1P mode, after a single pole tripping, if auto-reclosing
function is blocked suddenly during the dead time of a 1-pole reclosing
cycle, the circuit breaker will be kept in poles discordance state. To
avoiding this state, by binary setting AR Final Trip at 1, the IED will
issue a 3-pole trip command to open the rest of circuit breaker poles.
This binary setting is always used in the situation without pole
discordance protection applied.

Auto-reclosing initiation
The auto-reclosing function can be initiated by the internal functions listed
below:

of the receiving trip signals (1 to 0)
AR can be initiated by external functions via four binary inputs:

External phase A tripping output initiates AR
PhB Init AR
External phase B tripping output initiates AR
PhC Init AR
External phase C tripping output initiates AR
3Ph Init AR
External three-phase tripping output initiates AR
1.2.5
Cooperating with external protection IED

The AR can cooperate with external protection IED. The AR can be initiated
or blocked by external protection IED via dedicated binary inputs.

Auto-reclosing logic
Some important points regarded to auto-reclosing logic are described as
following:
248
In the case of blocking of auto-reclosing via MC/AR block, blocking will

be started by rising edge of MC/AR block and will be extended by
T_AR_Reset time after falling edge of this binary input.
In the case of three phase reclosing with sychro-check requesting, dead

time can last for T_3P AR + T_MaxSynExt at most, from the
auto-reclosing initiation input end. In this condition, IED starts to check
synchronization conditions at the end of T_3P AR. Before the end of
period, T_MaxSynExt, if the synchronization conditions are
continuously met for the time, T_Syn Check at least, the close
command will be issued. After the end of period, T_MaxSynExt, if
synchronization conditions are still not continuously met, the report, AR
Failure, will be issued and the auto-reclosing function will be blocked for
time, T_AR Reset. The logic is illustrated in flowing time sequence

example, in the IED testing, AR is initiated at first shot only when the CB
has been closed for more than setting time, T_AR Reset.
AR blocked conditions
If binary input AR Off is present, auto-reclosing function will be out of

service
Whenever the binary input MC/AR Block is received, auto-reclosing

function will be blocked for setting T_AR Reset.
Whenever circuit breaker abnormal condition is detected, auto-reclosing

function will be blocked.
In order to avoid auto-reclosing in the case of CB faulty, for example, CB

spring charge faulty, a binary input, CB Faulty, is considered to receive CB
ready status. Therefore, after synchronization check condition meets, the
input CB Faultywill be checked. If it doesnt disappear before time period
250

T_CB Faulty finishing, auto-reclosing will be blocked for T_AR Reset.

Current circuit supervision
1.1
Introduction
Open or short circuited current transformer cores can cause unwanted
operation of many protection functions such as earth fault protection and
negative sequence current functions.
It must be remembered that a blocking of protection functions at CT open
causes extremely high voltages that can stress the secondary circuit.
To prevent IED from wrong tripping, interruptions in the secondary circuits of
current transformers is detected and reported by the device. When the
measured zero-sequence current is always larger than the setting value of
3I0_CT Fail for 12 sec, CT Fail is reported and zero-sequence current
protection will be blocked.

2 Fuse failure supervision
2.1
Introduction
In the event of a measured voltage failure due to a broken conductor or a
short circuit fault in the secondary circuit of voltage transformer, those
protection functions which are based on under-voltage criteria may
mistakenly see a voltage of zero. VT failure supervision function is provided to
inform those functions about a voltage failure. VT supervision can be used to
monitor the voltage transformer circuit, single-phase VT failures, two-phase or
three-phase VT failures. Its main features are as follows:
2.2
Symmetrical/Asymmetrical VT fail detection
3-phase AC voltage MCB monitoring
Applicable in solid, compensated or isolated networks
Function principle
VT failure supervision function can be enabled or disabled via binary setting
VT Fail. By applying setting 1/on to this binary setting, VT failure
supervision function would monitor the voltage transformer circuit. As
mentioned, the function is able to detect single-phase broken, two-phase
broken or three-phase broken faults in secondary circuit of voltage
transformer, if a three-phase connection is applied.
There are three main criteria for VT failure detection; the first is dedicated to
detect three-phase broken faults. The second and third ones are to detect
single or two-phase broken faults in solid earthed and isolated/resistance
earthed systems, respectively. A precondition to meet these three criteria is
that IED should not startup and the calculated zero sequence and negative
sequence currents should be less than setting of 3I02_ VT Fail. The criteria
are as follows:
2.2.1
Three phases (symmetrical) VT Fail

The calculated zero sequence voltage 3U0 as well as maximum of three
phase-to-earth voltages is less than the setting of Upe_VT Fail and at the
263

supervision
same time, maximum of three phase currents is higher than setting of I_ VT
Fail. This condition may correspond to three phase broken fault in secondary
circuit of the voltage transformer if no startup element has been activated.
2.2.2
Single/two phases (asymmetrical) VT Fail

1. The calculated zero sequence voltage 3U0 is more than the setting of
Upe_VT Fail. This condition may correspond to single or two-phase broken
fault in secondary circuit of the voltage transformer, if the system starpoint is
solidly earthed and no startup element has been activated.
2. The calculated zero sequence voltage 3U0 is more than the setting of
Upe_VT Fail, and at the same time, the difference between the maximum
and minimum phase-to-phase voltages is more than the setting of Upp_VT
Fail. This condition may correspond to single or two-phase broken fault in
secondary circuit of the voltage transformer, if the system starpoint is isolated
or resistance earthed and no startup element has been activated.
In addition to the mentioned conditions, IED has the capability to be informed
about the VT MCB failure through its digital inputs V3P MCB Fail. In this
context, VT fail is detected, if the corresponding binary input is active.
2.2.3
Logic diagram
If VT failure supervision detects a failure in voltage transformer secondary
circuit, either by means of the above mentioned criteria or reception of a VT
MCB fail indication, all the protection functions, which are based on direction
component or low voltage criteria, will be blocked. Furthermore, Alarm report
VT fail is issued after 10s delay time. The blocking condition would be
removed if one of the following conditions is met within the 10 sec delay time
(previous to Alarm VT fail).
1. Without IED startup, minimum phase voltage becomes more than setting of
Upe_VT Normal for 500ms.
2. Without IED startup, minimum phase voltage becomes more than setting of
Upe_VT Normal and at the same time, the calculated zero sequence and
negative sequence current of corresponding side becomes more than the
setting of 3I02_ VT Fail.
Subsequent to VT fail alarm, the blocking condition of respective protection
functions would be removed if without IED startup, the minimum phase
voltage becomes more than the setting of Upe_VT Normal for a duration
264

supervision
more than 10 sec.

6 Fault locator
6.1
Introduction
Fault location is a process aimed at locating the occurred fault with the
highest possibly accuracy. A fault locator is mainly the supplementary
protection equipment, which apply the fault location algorithms for estimating
the distance to fault.
IED reports fault location after protection tripping. Fault location is calculated
according fundamental frequency component of the measured voltages and
currents corresponding to the faulty phases. Making use of the fundamental
frequency voltages and currents at the line terminal, together with the line
paramenters appears as the most popular way for detrmining the fault
location.
Additionally, there are some conditions that affect the calculated impedance so
that it is not exactly corresponding to distance of the fault. For example, zero
sequence coupling compensation on parallel transmission lines affects the
fault location calculated by protection relays.Therefore, for parallel
transmission lines, IED need to consider mutual inductance, so it should be
informed about the zero sequence current of the other line, IN(mutual) via
analogue module of the equipment (Figure 91).

Chapter 22 Station communication
About this chapter

This chapter describes the communication possibilities in a
substation automation system.
278
Overview
Each IED is provided with a communication interface, enabling it to connect to
one or many substation level systems or equipment.
The following communication protocols are available:
IEC 61850-8-1 communication protocol
60870-5-103 communication protocol
The IED is able to connect to one or more substation level systems or

equipments simultaneously, through the communication ports and supported
protocols.
Protocol
2.1
IEC61850-8 communication protocol

IEC 61850-8-1 allows two or more intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) from
one or several vendors to exchange information and to use it in the
performance of their functions and for correct co-operation.
GOOSE (Generic Object Oriented Substation Event), which is a part of IEC
61850-8-1 standard, allows the IEDs to communicate state and control
information amongst themselves, using a publish-subscribe mechanism. That
is, upon detecting an event, the IED(s) use a multi-cast transmission to notify
those devices that have registered to receive the data. An IED can, by
publishing a GOOSE message, report its status. It can also request a control
action to be directed at any device in the network.
2.2
IEC60870-5-103 communication protocol

The IEC 60870-5-103 communication protocol is mainly used when a
protection IED communicates with a third party control or monitoring system.
This system must have software that can interpret the IEC 60870-5-103
communication messages.
The IEC 60870-5-103 is an unbalanced (master-slave) protocol for coded-bit
279

serial communication exchanging information with a control system. In IEC
terminology a primary station is a master and a secondary station is a slave.
The communication is based on a point-to-point principle. The master must
have software that can interpret the IEC 60870-5-103 communication
messages. For detailed information about IEC 60870-5-103, refer to the
IEC60870 standard part 5: Transmission protocols, and to the section 103:
Companion standard for the informative interface of protection equipment.
Communication port
3.1

There is a serial RS232 port on the front plate of all IEDs. Through this port,
the IED can be connected to the personal computer for setting, testing, and
configuration using the dedicated Sifang software tool.
3.2
RS485 communication ports

Up to 2 isolated electrical RS485 communication ports are provided to
connect with substation automation system. These two ports can work in
parallel for IEC60870-5-103.
3.3
Ethernet communication ports

Up to 3 electrical or optical Ethernet communication ports are provided to
connect with substation automation system. These two out of three ports can
work in parallel for protocol, IEC61850 or IEC60870-5-103.

Typical time synchronizing scheme

All IEDs feature a permanently integrated electrical time synchronization port.
It can be used to feed timing telegrams in IRIG-B or pulse format into the
IEDs via time synchronization receivers. The IED can adapt the second or
minute pulse in the pulse mode automatically.
Meanwhile, SNTP network time synchronization can be applied.
Below figure illustrates the optional time synchronization modes.

Chapter 23 Remote communication
About this chapter

This chapter describes the remote communication possibilities
applied by protection functions.
284
Binary signal transfer

The binary signals can be exchanged through remote communication
channels between the two IEDs on the two end of the transmission line or
cable respectively. This functionality is mainly used for the line Tele-protection
communication schemes, e.g., POTT or PUTT schemes, blocking scheme
and inter trip and so on.
Remote communication channel
2.1
Introduction
The IEDs are able to communicate with each other in two types:
Directly fiber-optical cable connection mode at distances up to 100 km
Through the communication converter with G.703 or G.703E1 interface
through the public digital communication network
Because there are up to two selectable fiber-optical remote communication
ports, the IED can work in the redundant communication channel mode, with
advantage of no time-delay channel switch in case of the primary channel
broken

4.1
Introduction
The CPU module handles all protection functions and logic. There are two
CPU modules in the IED, CPU1 and CPU2, with the same software and
hardware. They work in parallel and interlock each other to prevent
maloperation due to the internal faults of one CPU modules.
Moreover, the redundant A/D sampling channels are equipped. By comparing
the data from redundant sampling channels, any sampling data errors and the
channel hardware faults can be detected immediately and the proper alarm
and blocking is initiated in time.

CT requirement
5.1
Overview
In practice, the conventional magnetic- core current transformer (hereinafter
as referred CT) is not able to transform the current signal accurately in whole
fault period of all possible faults because of manufactured cost and
installation space limited. CT Saturation will cause distortion of the current
signal and can result in a failure to operate or cause unwanted operations of
some functions. Although more and more protection IEDs have been
designed to permit CT saturation with maintained correct operation, the
performance of protection IED is still depended on the correct selection of CT.
5.2
Current transformer classification

The conventional CTs are usually manufactured in accordance with the
standard, IEC 60044, ANSI / IEEE C57.13, ANSI / IEEE C37.110 or other
comparable standards, which CTs are specified in different protection class.
Currently, the CT for protection are classified according to functional
performance as follows:
Class P CT
Accuracy limit defined by composite error with steady symmetric primary
current. No limit for remanent flux.
Class PR CT
CT with limited remanence factor for which, in some cased, a value of the
secondary loop time constant and/or a limiting value of the winding
resistance may also be specified.
Class PX CT
Low leakage reactance for which knowledge of the transformer
secondary excitation characteristic, secondary winding resistance,
secondary burden resistance and turns ratio is sufficient to assess its
performance in relation to the protective relay system with which it is to
be used.
Class TPS CT
Low leakage flux current transient transformer for which performance is
362
Chapter 25 Appendix
defined by the secondary excitation characteristics and turns ratio error
limits. No limit for remanent flux
Class TPX CT
Accuracy limit defined by peak instantaneous error during specified
transient duty cycle. No limit for remanent flux.
Class TPY CT
Accuracy limit defined by peak instantaneous error during specified
transient duty cycle. Remanent flux not to exceed 10% of the saturation
flux..
Class TPZ CT
Accuracy limit defined by peak instantaneous alternating current
component error during single energization with maximum d.c. offset at
specified secondary loop time constant. No requirements for d.c.
component error limit. Remanent flux to be practically negligible.
TPE class CT (TPE represents transient protection and electronic type
CT)

General current transformer requirements
5.4.1
Protective checking current

The current error of CT should be within the accuracy limit required at
specified fault current.
To verify the CT accuracy performance, Ipcf, primary protective checking
current, should be chosed properly and carefully.
For different protections, Ipcf is the selected fault current in proper fault
position of the corresponding fault, which will flow through the verified CT.
To guarantee the reliability of protection relay, Ipcf should be the maximum
fault current at internal fault. E.g. maximum primary three phase short-circuit
fault current or single phase earth fault current depended on system
sequence impedance, in different positions.
Moreover, to guarantee the security of protection relay, Ipcf should be the
maximum fault current at external fault.
Last but not least, Ipcf calculation should be based on the future possible
system power capacity
Kpcf, protective checking factor, is always used to verified the CT
performance
To reduce the influence of transient state, Kalf, Accuracy limit factor of CT,
should be larger than the following requirement
364
Chapter 25 Appendix
Ks, Specified transient factor, should be decided based on actual operation

state and operation experiences by user.
5.4.2
CT class
The selected CT should guarantee that the error is within the required
accuracy limit at steady symmetric short circuit current. The influence of short
circuit current DC component and remanence should be considered, based
on extent of system transient influence, protection function characteristic,
consequence of transient saturation and actual operating experience. To fulfill
the requirement on a specified time to saturation, the rated equivalent
secondary e.m.f of CTs must higher than the required maximum equivalent
secondary e.m.f that is calculated based on actual application.
For the CTs applied to transmission line protection, transformer differential
protection with 330kV voltage level and above, and 300MW and above
generator-transformer set differential protection, the power system time
constant is so large that the CT is easy to saturate severely due to system
transient state. To prevent the CT from saturation at actual duty cycle, TP
class CT is preferred.
For TPS class CT, Eal (rated equivalent secondary limiting e.m.f) is generally
determined as follows:
Where
Ks: Specified transient factor
Kssc: Rated symmetrical short-circuit current factor
For TPX, TPY and TPZ class CT, Eal (rated equivalent secondary limiting
e.m.f) is generally determined as follows:
Where

110 - 220kV voltage level transformer differential protection, 100-200MW
generator-transformer set differential protection, and large capacity motor
differential protection, the influence of system transient state to CT is so less
that the CT selection is based on system steady fault state mainly, and leave
proper margin to tolerate the negative effect of possible transient state.
Therefore, P, PR, PX class CT can be always applied.
For P class and PR class CT, Esl (the rated secondary limited e.m.f) is
generally determined as follows:
Kalf: Accuracy limit factor

For PX class CT, Ek (rated knee point e.m.f) is generally determined as
follows:
Kx: Demensioning factor

For the CTs applied to protection for110kV voltage level and below system,
the CT should be selected based on system steady fault state condition. P
class CT is always applied.

Chapter 25 Appendix
5.4.3
Accuracy class
The CT accuracy class should guarantee that the protection relay applied is
able to operate correctly even at a very sensitive setting, e.g. for a sensitive
residual overcurrent protection. Generally, the current transformer should
have an accuracy class, which have an current error at rated primary current,
that is less than 1% (e.g. class 5P).
If current transformers with less accuracy are used it is advisable to check the
actual unwanted residual current during the commissioning.
5.4.4
Ratio of CT
The current transformer ratio is mainly selected based on power system data
like e.g. maximum load. However, it should be verified that the current to the
protection is higher than the minimum operating value for all faults that are to
be detected with the selected CT ratio. The minimum operating current is
different for different functions and settable normally. So each function should
be checked separately.
5.4.5
Rated secondary current

There are 2 standard rated secondary currents, 1A or 5A. Generally, 1 A
should be preferred, particularly in HV and EHV stations, to reduce the
burden of the CT secondary circuit. Because 5A rated CTs, i.e. I2R is 25x
compared to only 1x for a 1A CT. However, in some cases to reduce the CT
secondary circuit open voltage, 5A can be applied.
5.4.6
Secondary burden
Too high flux will result in CT saturation. The secondary e.m.f is directly
proportional to linked flux. To feed rated secondary current, CT need to
generate enough secondary e.m.f to feed the secondary burden.
Consequently, Higher secondary burden, need Higher secondary e.m.f, and
then closer to saturation. So the actual secondary burden Rb must be less
than the rated secondary burden Rb of applied CT, presented
Rb > Rb
The CT actual secondary burden Rb consists of wiring loop resistance Rlead
and the actual relay burdens Zb in whole secondary circuit, which is
calculated by following equation
367
Chapter 25 Appendix
Rb = Rlead + Zb
The rated relay burden, Zbn, is calculated as below:
Where
Sr: the burden of IED current input channel per phase, in VA;
For earth faults, the loop includes both phase and neutral wire, normally twice
the resistance of the single secondary wire. For three-phase faults the neutral
current is zero and it is just necessary to consider the resistance up to the
point where the phase wires are connected to the common neutral wire. The
most common practice is to use four wires secondary cables so it normally is
sufficient to consider just a single secondary wire for the three-phase case.
In isolated or high impedance earthed systems the phase-to-earth fault is not
the considered dimensioning case and therefore the resistance of the single
secondary wire always can be used in the calculation, for this case.
5.5
Rated equivalent secondary e.m.f requirements

To guarantee correct operation, the current transformers (CTs) must be able
to correctly reproduce the current for a minimum time before the CT will begin
to saturate.
5.5.1

The protection is designed to accept CTs with same characteristic but
different CT ratios between two terminals of feeder. The difference of ratio
should not be more than 4 times.
Because the operating characteristic of the line differential protection is based
on the calculation of fundamental component of current, the CT saturation will
result in too much error of the calculation of differential current and reduce the
security of the protection. The CT applied should meet following requirement.
For 330kV and above transmission line protection, TPY CT is preferred. To
guarantee the accuracy, Kssc should be satisfied following requirement:

recommended
To 220kV transmission line protection, Class 5P20 CT is preferred. Because
the system time constant is less relatively, and then DC component is less,
the probability of CT saturation due to through fault current at external fault is
reduced more and more.

Only at special case, e.g. short output feeder of large power plant, the PX
class CT is recommended. Ek should be verified based on below equation.
Where
5.5.2
Transformer differential protection

It is recommended that the CT of each side could be same class and with
same characteristic to guarantee the protection sensitivity.
For the CTs applied to 330kV voltage level and above step-down transformer,
TPY class CT is preferred for each side.
369
Chapter 25 Appendix
For the CTs of high voltage side and middle voltage side, Eal should be
verified at external fault C-O-C-O duty cycle.
For the CT of low voltage side in delta connection, Eal should be verified at
external three phase short circuit fault C-O duty cycle.
Eal must meet the requirement based on following equations:
Where
Ktd: Recommended transient dimensioning factor for verification, 3
recommended
For 220kV voltage level and below transformer differential protection, P Class,
PR class and PX class is able to be used. Because the system time constant
is less relatively, and then DC component is less, the probability of CT
saturation due to through fault current at external fault is reduced more and
more.
For P Class, PR class CT, Esl can be verified as below:
Where
For PX class CT, Ek can be verified as below:
Where
5.5.3
Busbar differential protection

The busbar differential protection is able to detect CT saturation in extremely
short time and then block protection at external fault. The protection can
discriminate the internal or external fault in 2-3 ms before CT saturation. So
the currents from different class CT of different feeders are permitted to inject
into the protection relay. The rated secondary e.m.f of CTs is verified by
maximum symmetric short circuit current at external fault.
