2. Safety

2. 1 Intended use

The voltage and frequency monitoring relay VMD460-NA is used for system and network protection (NS protection) of CHPs, wind, hydroelectric and pho­tovoltaic systems feeding power into the grid. If inadmissible voltage and frequency values occur on the supply side, the VMD460-NA has the task of disconnecting the power generation system from the distribution network by means of a coupling switch. The voltage and frequency monitoring relay is to be installed and connected directly at the central meter panel. The VMD460-NA utilises a separate supply voltage connection.
Power generation systems with an output of > 6 kW require a separate asymmetry monitoring.

2. 2 Electrically skilled person

Only electrically skilled persons are authorised to install and commission this device. Electrically skilled persons are those who have the relevant education, knowledge and experience, as well as knowledge of the relevant safety stand­ards and who are able to perceive risks and to avoid hazards which electricity can create when work activities are carried out on electrical installations. The electrically skilled person is specially trained for carrying out work activities in his specific working environment and has a thorough knowledge of the rele­vant standards and regulations. In Germany, an electrically skilled person must meet the requirements of the accident prevention regulation BGV A3. In other countries the applicable regulations have to be observed and followed.

Bender devices are designed and built in accordance with the state of the art and accepted rules in respect of technical safety. However, the use of such de­vices may introduce risks to the life and limb of the user or third parties and/ or result in damage to Bender devices or other property.
Danger of electric shock!
Touching live parts will cause danger of electric shoc k with fatal consequences. All work activities on electrical installations as well as installation activities, commissioning activities and work activities with the device in operation may only be carried out by electrically skilled persons!
 Only use Bender equipment:
– as intended – in perfect working order – in compliance with the accident prevention regulations and guide-
lines applicable at the location of use
 Eliminate all faults immediately which may endanger safety.  Do not make any unauthorised changes and only use replacement
parts and optional accessories purchased from or recommended by the manufacturer of the equipment. Failure to observe this require­ment can result in fire, electric shock and injury.
 If the device is overloaded by overvoltage or a short-circuit current
load, it must be checked and replaced if necessary.
 If the device is being used in a location outside the Federal Republic of
Germany, the applicable local standards and regulations must be com­plied with. European standard EN 50110 can be used as a guide.
Device-specific safety information
After commissioning, the essential settings of the VMD460-NA have to be protected against unauthorised changes by a password.

Function

3.2 Description of function

The power generation system is only allowed to connect to the public grid when the country-specific connection conditions are met. Mains voltage and mains frequency must be within the defined tolerance range. The devices utilise several separately adjustable measuring channels for:
 Voltage drop protection U <, U<<  Rise-in-voltage protection U >>, U10> / U> (depending on standard)  Frequency decrease protection f <, f<<  Frequency increase protection f >, f>>
This satisfies the requirements for static and dynamic network monitoring. In case of infringements of a limit value or a remote trip signal, the relay K1 (and K2, if necessary) switch and the alarm LEDs light. Reconnection to the grid is carried out when the national connection conditions to the grid are met. Pressing the test button ensures that the relays are checked and the re­quired test (trigger test) of the relays K1 and K2 is carried out.
3.2.1 Calculating the average value of overvoltage
(VDE-AR-N 4105, CEI 0-21, C10/11)
The overvoltage U10 is determined by averaging the last 10-minute measur­ing interval. Always the highest 10-minute average value value U10> of each of the three voltages monitored between L1-N, L2-N, L3-N will be indicated.

3.2.2 Self test, automatic

The device runs a continuous self test during which internal malfunctions are detected and shown on the display as error codes. The alarm relays are not switched during this test.

3.2.5 Malfunction and messages

In case of malfunctions or messages, the power generation system will be separated from the supply network.
In the case of an internal malfunction or an error in the operation of the cou­pling switches, both alarm LEDs will flash. The error code or the message in plain text is indicated on the display. If several faults or messages occur simultaneously, they will be displayed alter­nately at four-second-intervals. In the case of an internal error, make a note of the error code "xx" and contact the Bender Service.

Function

3.2.10 Passive islanding detection (df/dt)

The VMD460-NA uses a passive method for islanding detection (three-phase voltage and frequency monitoring).
df/dt
The monitoring of the rate of change of frequency "ROCOF" (df/dt) is an islanding detection function. If a section of the network is disconnected by the energy provider, it may hap­pen that the power generation systems located in this section unintentionally feed this section of the network. Underfrequency and overfrequency monitoring might not be sufficient to de­tect this dangerous, uncontrollable state, since the generators try to keep the frequency at the nominal frequency level.
Due to the unbalance between generated and consumed energy, however, the frequency fluctuates around the nominal frequency. If this happens at a certain minimum speed, this is an indication of islanding, hence the power generation system will be disconnected by the VMD460-NA.
As soon as the rate of change of frequency is below the response value hysteresis and t nected.

4. Installation, connection and commissioning

Danger of electric shock! Make sure that the installation area is disconnected from any electrical source . Consider the data on the rated voltage and supply voltage as specified in the technical data!

4.1 Unpacking

 Unpack all the parts supplied with the system. Avoid sharp-edged tools
that may damage the content of the packaging.
 Compare your order with our delivery note to check that you have
received all products in full. The article numbers and type designation printed on the nameplates provide an easy means of uniquely identify­ing each device.
 Check all parts supplied for any evidence of damage in transit.  Equipment damaged in transit must not be used. If a device has sus-
tained damage, please contact Bender. Details of who to contact are indicated on the delivery documents.
 When storing the devices in an environment where the temperature is
wintry and cold: Leave the devices to stand for 3 to 4 hours at room temperature before connecting the power supply. When the devices are moved from a cold to a warm environment, condensation will be evident on all parts. Putting damp devices into operation risks damaging electrical compo­nents and there is a danger of electric shock on contact.

4.2 Back-up fuses

Equip the supply voltage of all system components with fuses. IEC 60364-4-43 requires protective devices to be used to protect the component in the event of a short circuit. We recommend the use of 6 A fuses.

Single-fault safety
In o rder to en sure s ingl e-fault safe ty, t he VDE -AR- N 410 5 has t o be r ealised for the power generation system. A single fault in the actuation circuit must not prevent a disconnection of the power generating system from the grid. The monitoring circuit for grid disconnection of power generation systems is to be installed at the point of supply. The relays used K1 and K2 are to be con­nected according to the wiring diagram.
Use the contact monitoring function to prevent the sticking of contacts!

6. Maintenance

Repeat test of the trigger circuit by the system operator
The system operator must ensure that the equipment required for parallel operation with the low-voltage network is always in proper technical condi­tion. To this end, it is required to have an electrically skilled person check the protective devices for proper functioning at regular intervals. This require­ment is deemed to be satisfied for normal and environmental conditions if the test intervals mentioned in BGV A3 are adhered to. The repeat test shall in­clude at least the following:
 Check of the environmental conditions (pollution, mechanical or isola-
tion damage).
 A tripping control of the coupling switch.  Press the "TEST" button to trigger the coupling switch.  Tripping must be visualised by the coupling switch.
The trigger circuit NS protection/coupling switch, in the wiring diagram of this operating manual consisting of K1/K2 and coupling switch 1/coupling switch 2, separates the power generation system from the public low-voltage grid. By checking the trigger circuit regularly, sticking of the contactors can be detected at an early stage.
