SELF-POWERED OVERCURRENT PROTECTION RELAY PIE-3N

1.- OBJECTIVE This user's handbook is intended to aid the configuration and use of the PIE-3N overcurrent protection relay.

2.- AREA OF APPLICATION This three-phase overcurrent protection relay is particularly suitable for use in non-fused Medium Voltage cubicals or compartments in transformer or distribution stations where there are no auxiliary power-supply batteries.

3.- OPERATION The PIE-3N relay is used in conjunction with 3 transformers of type IFG-8, IFG-7, AGD-12 or AGD-24, whichever is most suitable, which allow the phase- and homopolar line currents to be measured and which supply the power required for the relay's circuits and the external trip coil. As a result, no auxiliary power supply is required.

Transformers of other sizes or ratios can be supplied on demand. 4.- ADJUSTMENT The following independent settings or trip-points are available on the front panel of the PIE3N relay: - Phase overcurrent (51) - Phase overcurrent time delay - Phase short-circuit (50) - Phase short-circuit time delay - Homopolar overcurrent (51N) - Homopolar overcurrent time delay - Homopolar short-circuit (50N) - Homopolar short-circuit time delay I> t I> I>> t I >> I > tI I tI

Any of the above functions with the exception of phase overcurrent (I>) can be annulled by selecting setting 0 on the corresponding rotary switch. The tables below show the available settings in terms of the nominal line current IN.

When an overcurrent condition is detected in the line the PIE-3N relay waits until the set time delay has expired and then sends a series of tripping pulses to the trip coil, which opens the circuit breaker. The series of pulses continues until either the primary current is interrupted or the fault condition disappears. The PIE-3N may also be powered from a 230 Vac supply. When this supply input is used, the protection relay may be used for either three-phase or single-phase measurements as low as 10% of IN (the minimum neutral adjustment). There is also an external trigger input (for use with thermal triggers or Buchholz protection devices, for example) that requires 230 Vac at 50 Hz. The power supply must be connected in order to use the external trigger input.

Operation of the PIE-3N relay may be checked using the C-D test windings on the current transformers. Adjusting the PIE-3N - An example Before adjusting the relay, the following data is required: - The nominal burden of the distribution transformer (eg.: 500 KVA). - The nominal line voltage (eg.: 20 KV). - The phase overcurrent rating of the transformer (eg.: 20% IN). - The homopolar current rating of the transformer (eg.: 10% IN).

Phase protection 1.- Nominal current of the distribution transformer: IN = 500 = 14.43 A 3 * 20

2.- Overcurrent rating: 1.2 * 14.43 = 17.32 A 3.- The IFG-8 current transformer will be suitable, using terminals S1-S2, which have an In value of 14.5 A. I 17.32 = = 1.19 In 14.5 The closest value in the adjustment selection table is I = 1.2 , trip point 2 in In the table, meaning that the real overcurrent trip point will be 1.2 * 14.5 = 17.4 A, or, as a percentage: 17.4 * 100 = 20.58% 14.43

Homopolar protection To set the homopolar current trip to operate when this current exceeds 10% of IN, we calculate the settings as follows: 10 % of IN = 0.1 x 14.43 = 1.443 A I 1.443 = = 0.099 In 14.5 To trigger the relay when the homopolar current is greater than 10% of IN, we must select the closest entry in the table, which in this case is 0.10 IN, trip point 1, which will give us a real homopolar trip current of 0.10 x 14.5 = 1.45 A, or, in percentage 1.45 100 = 10.05% terms: 14.43

6.- RECEIPT AND STORAGE The PIE-3N relay is shipped in its box complete with the corresponding transformers. This packing guarantees its safety under normal handling conditions for this type of equipment. If it is not to be installed immediately, it should be stored in its packing, unopened and in an environment that may be considered as "interior", away from rain, dust, vibrations, etc. If the packing is seen to be damaged or any damage is suspected due to rough handling during transport, the manufacturer and the insurance company should be informed immediately.

7.- MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS The instructions given below will provide optimum results from the PIE-3N, avoiding any risks due to incorrect installation.

7.1. INSPECTION Remove the PIE-3N from its packing and inspect it visually, looking for possible damage that may have been caused during transport.

7.2. CHECKING THE NOMINAL CHARACTERISTICS Check that the transformers supplied with the PIE-3N relay are of the type ordered. Following this, install the relay in the panel cut-out, which should have been prepared previously. Once the unit is fixed into the panel, no other mechanical operations should be performed on either the relay or the panel.
