4. INSTALLING, COMMISSIONING AND SERVICING

Equipment connections

Personnel undertaking installation, commissioning or servicing work for this
equipment should be aware of the correct working procedures to ensure safety.

The equipment documentation should be consulted before installing,
commissioning, or servicing the equipment.

Terminals exposed during installation, commissioning and maintenance may
present a hazardous voltage unless the equipment is electrically isolated.

The clamping screws of all terminal block connectors, for field wiring, using M4
screws shall be tightened to a nominal torque of 1.3 Nm.

Equipment intended for rack or panel mounting is for use on a flat surface of a
Type 1 enclosure, as defined by Underwriters Laboratories (UL).

Any disassembly of the equipment may expose parts at hazardous voltage, also
electronic parts may be damaged if suitable electrostatic voltage discharge (ESD)
precautions are not taken.

If there is unlocked access to the rear of the equipment, care should be taken by
all personnel to avoid electric shock or energy hazards.

to ensure that terminal block insulation requirements are maintained for safety.

Safety Section P44x/EN SS/H11

(SS) - 5

Watchdog (self-monitoring) contacts are provided in numerical relays to indicate
the health of the device. Alstom Grid strongly recommends that these contacts
are hardwired into the substation's automation system, for alarm purposes.

To ensure that wires are correctly terminated the correct crimp terminal and tool
for the wire size should be used.

The equipment must be connected in accordance with the appropriate connection
diagram.

Protection Class I Equipment

- Before energizing the equipment it must be earthed using the protective
conductor terminal, if provided, or the appropriate termination of the
supply plug in the case of plug connected equipment.

- The protective conductor (earth) connection must not be removed since
the protection against electric shock provided by the equipment would be
lost.

- When the protective (earth) conductor terminal (PCT) is also used to
terminate cable screens, etc., it is essential that the integrity of the
protective (earth) conductor is checked after the addition or removal of
such functional earth connections. For M4 stud PCTs the integrity of the
protective (earth) connections should be ensured by use of a locknut or
similar.

The recommended minimum protective conductor (earth) wire size is 2.5 mm²
(3.3 mm² for North America) unless otherwise stated in the technical data section
of the equipment documentation, or otherwise required by local or country wiring
regulations.

The protective conductor (earth) connection must be low-inductance and as short
as possible.

All connections to the equipment must have a defined potential. Connections that
are pre-wired, but not used, should preferably be grounded when binary inputs
and output relays are isolated. When binary inputs and output relays are
connected to common potential, the pre-wired but unused connections should be
connected to the common potential of the grouped connections.

Before energizing the equipment, the following should be checked:

- Voltage rating/polarity (rating label/equipment documentation);

- CT circuit rating (rating label) and integrity of connections;

- Protective fuse rating;

- Integrity of the protective conductor (earth) connection (where
applicable);

- Voltage and current rating of external wiring, applicable to the application.

Accidental touching of exposed terminals

If working in an area of restricted space, such as a cubicle, where there is a risk of
electric shock due to accidental touching of terminals which do not comply with
IP20 rating, then a suitable protective barrier should be provided.

Equipment use

If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the
protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.

Removal of the equipment front panel/cover

Removal of the equipment front panel/cover may expose hazardous live parts,
which must not be touched until the electrical power is removed.

P44x/EN SS/H11 Safety Section

(SS) - 6

UL and CSA/CUL listed or recognized equipment

To maintain UL and CSA/CUL Listing/Recognized status for North America the
equipment should be installed using UL and/or CSA Listed or Recognized parts
for the following items: connection cables, protective fuses/fuseholders or circuit
breakers, insulation crimp terminals, and replacement internal battery, as
specified in the equipment documentation.

For external protective fuses a UL or CSA Listed fuse shall be used. The Listed
type shall be a Class J time delay fuse, with a maximum current rating of 15 A and
a minimum d.c. rating of 250 Vd.c. for example type AJT15.

Where UL or CSA Listing of the equipment is not required, a high rupture capacity
(HRC) fuse type with a maximum current rating of 16 Amps and a minimum d.c.
rating of 250 Vd.c. may be used, for example Red Spot type NIT or TIA.

Equipment operating conditions

The equipment should be operated within the specified electrical and
environmental limits.

Current transformer circuits

Do not open the secondary circuit of a live CT since the high voltage produced
may be lethal to personnel and could damage insulation. Generally, for safety,
the secondary of the line CT must be shorted before opening any connections to
it.

For most equipment with ring-terminal connections, the threaded terminal block
for current transformer termination has automatic CT shorting on removal of the
module. Therefore external shorting of the CTs may not be required, the
equipment documentation should be checked to see if this applies.

For equipment with pin-terminal connections, the threaded terminal block for
current transformer termination does NOT have automatic CT shorting on removal
of the module.

External resistors, including voltage dependent resistors (VDRs)

Where external resistors, including voltage dependent resistors (VDRs), are fitted
to the equipment, these may present a risk of electric shock or burns, if touched.

Battery replacement

Where internal batteries are fitted they should be replaced with the recommended
type and be installed with the correct polarity to avoid possible damage to the
equipment, buildings and persons.

Insulation and dielectric strength testing

Insulation testing may leave capacitors charged up to a hazardous voltage. At the
end of each part of the test, the voltage should be gradually reduced to zero, to
discharge capacitors, before the test leads are disconnected.

Insertion of modules and pcb cards

Modules and PCB cards must not be inserted into or withdrawn from the
equipment whilst it is energized, since this may result in damage.

Insertion and withdrawal of extender cards

Extender cards are available for some equipment. If an extender card is used,
this should not be inserted or withdrawn from the equipment whilst it is energized.
This is to avoid possible shock or damage hazards. Hazardous live voltages may
be accessible on the extender card.

Safety Section P44x/EN SS/H11

External test blocks and test plugs

Great care should be taken when using external test blocks and test plugs such
as the MMLG, MMLB and MiCOM P990 types, hazardous voltages may be
accessible when using these. *CT shorting links must be in place before the
insertion or removal of MMLB test plugs, to avoid potentially lethal voltages.

*Note: When a MiCOM P992 Test Plug is inserted into the MiCOM P991 Test
Block, the secondaries of the line CTs are automatically shorted, making
them safe.

Fiber optic communication

Where fiber optic communication devices are fitted, these should not be viewed
directly. Optical power meters should be used to determine the operation or
signal level of the device.

Cleaning

The equipment may be cleaned using a lint free cloth dampened with clean water,
when no connections are energized. Contact fingers of test plugs are normally
protected by petroleum jelly, which should not be removed.

(SS) - 7

5. DE-COMMISSIONING AND DISPOSAL

De-commissioning

The supply input (auxiliary) for the equipment may include capacitors across the
supply or to earth. To avoid electric shock or energy hazards, after completely
isolating the supplies to the equipment (both poles of any dc supply), the
capacitors should be safely discharged via the external terminals prior to
de-commissioning.

Disposal

It is recommended that incineration and disposal to water courses is avoided.
The equipment should be disposed of in a safe manner. Any equipment
containing batteries should have them removed before disposal, taking
precautions to avoid short circuits. Particular regulations within the country of
operation, may apply to the disposal of the equipment.

6. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR SAFETY

Unless otherwise stated in the equipment technical manual, the following data is applicable.

6.1 Protective fuse rating

The

recommended maximum rating of the external protective fuse for equipments is 16A,
high rupture capacity (HRC) Red Spot type NIT, or TIA, or equivalent. The protective fuse
should be located as close to the unit as possible.

DANGER - CTs must NOT be fused since open circuiting them may
produce lethal hazardous voltages.

3 PRODUCT SCOPE

The MiCOM P442 and P444 Numerical Full Scheme Distance Relays provide
comprehensive distance protection for different applications like: lines, cables, tapped lines,
lines with multiple zero sequence sources, non-homogeneous lines, series compensated
lines and parallel lines.

The independently settable resistive reach for e ach zone allows easy application to short
lines and cable protection. Using well-proven, patented techniques to directionalise, and
making full use of digital memory, the relays can be appl i ed i n situations that can cause
classic distance implementations to maloperat e (crosscountry faults and close-up faults).

The MiCOM P442 and P444 are in-built with a library of channel aided scheme logic,
supplementary and back-up protection. It prov ides complete protection (4 alternative setting
groups) to solidly earthed systems from distribut ion t o transmission voltage levels.

Three phase tripping with faulted phase indication is provided for all protection functions. In
addition models P442 and P444 allow single-pha se t ripping for the distance protection and
the channel aided DEF protection (67N).

The P442 and P444 distance relays equipped with 150 MHz CPU and coprocessor board
have been enhanced as described in the following table:
