2.1 Protections in general

Within this chapter the general theory of protection functions is described. For clear understanding several time characteristics for different scenarios are presented.

Default values

Default values are presented as bold.
Example:
Table 2 Example of default parameter setting.

Protection operation range

Fault is detected when monitored value exceeds the chosen threshold (pickup value). At that point the protection enters into protection operation range or fault area. To prevent unwanted switching a hysteresis characteristic is introduced. Drop-out value is set relative to pickup value.
When the monitored value enters the protection operating range the protections picks up. On the other hand when the value falls below the operating range the protection drops or resets.
Protection operation range is shown on Figure 2.1.
short period of time. It is usually used when very long time characteristics are used. In case the protection trips, drop out delay is not accounted for and other means of delaying trip signal are used.
Figure 2.2: Pickup signal and Trip signal when fault duration is shorter than trip delay.
2.1.2.1 Pickup logic
The pickup signal indicates that monitored value exceeded the set value and indicates that a fault occurred (Figure 2.2). The pickup delay is intended for fault signalling stabilization to prevent the short-lived disturbances in the measuring part of the system from being reported as faults (Figure 2.4).
Figure 2.1: Protection operation range - fault area.
Example: Nominal current of protected element I set to 300 A, pickup value is set to 1,1 I is 0,95 Ip. The protection will pick up when current exceeds 330 A. It will drop out when the current drops below 313,5 A.
Operational scenario is illustrated on Figure 2.2. Drop­out delay prevents the timer of protection function to reset in case the fault falls below the pickup value for a

Figure 2.4: Fault confirmation.
2.1.2.2 Trip logic
The Trip signal is intended for opening of circuit breaker, which eliminates faulty element from power system. Majority of faults have transient character and disappear spontaneously. The duration of such faults is relatively short. In order to avoid unnecessary opening of circuit breaker the Trip signal can be delayed. Among others the delaying of Trip signal may be used to ensure selectivity along the power system network. The delay is
set with Trip delay parameter. In case the protection is blocked the Trip signal will not set.
The Trip is set (Figure 2.5):
When a fault is detected and when the pickup signal is stated and trip delay time runs out and no blocking is present.
Figure 2.5: Trip set logic.
Trip signal drops:
when the pickup drops or Blocking appears
When the protection trips there are some particular delays on detection and trip execution levels. Several milliseconds can pass during transfer of the signal to external output relay and forward to the circuit breaker switch of the circuit. The compensation of lost time is solved with default value.
2.1.2.3 Blocking
Function is blocked when any pickup Block input is set. It can be set through digital input port or it can be set internally in combination with different functions. When the protection is blocked the pickup signal drops and pickup blocked signal is stated. Consequently after the pickup signal drops the Trip delay timer resets. After the blocking is reset and if the fault is still present the protection function starts again. Protection operation with blocking signal turned on for a certain amount of time is shown on Figure 2.6.

Time characteristics

The main purpose of inverse time characteristics (IDMT – Inverse Definite Minimum Time) is to enable shorter time of protection trip when the fault current amplitude is greater. At a set fault value the protection must trip in time that can be read out from a characteristic. The operation time depends on the measured current value in accordance with standards IEC 60255-3 and IEEE C-
37112.
The available area of inverse time characteristic is defined in a range between 1,1 and 20 Ip, where Ip stands for pickup value. Amplitudes above 20 Ip have an equal trip delay as the amplitude at 20 Ip. Amplitudes from 1,1 Ip and lower have an equal trip delay as the amplitude at 1,1 Ip.
The type of time characteristic can be chosen with the mode parameter. It is necessary to set the pickup value and IDMT coefficient parameters. Values are used with all types of time characteristics. The IDMT coefficient factor defines the time delay level. Lower values indicate faster operation at equal fault values.
The fault current amplitude is not always constant and can change during fault duration. For this reason the algorithm dynamically integrates parts of time during the fault according to particular characteristic and when the sum reaches the switch off limit the protection trips.

2.2 Current based protections

Overcurrent protection - ANSI code 50/51

Overcurrent protection is one of the basic functions of FPC 200 numerical relays. It protects the feeder or other elements of the power system from overcurrent when fault occurs. It comprises of various time-delayed characteristics. Protective function includes Inrush restraint [2.2.5] and Cold load pickup (CLP) protection.
2.2.1.1 Functionality
Overcurrent protection is used as non-directional time delayed overcurrent and short-circuit protection. It picks up when current in one, two or three phases exceeds the set threshold. The function can be enabled or disabled through corresponding menu. The trip time characteristics can be selected to be Instantaneous, definite time (DT) or inverse definite minimum time (IDMT). When instantaneous operation mode is selected the trip signal is stated as the DT characteristic. The settings of this function are applied to each of the three phases to produce pickup and trip signals per each phase.
Several overcurrent protection instances with different settings can run independently at the same time.
The selection of pickup value, pickup delay as well as drop-out ratio and drop-out delay helps the user to fine tune the protection according to the project specifications.
2.2.1.3 Delays
Function includes following delays explained in Chapter
2.1:
Pickup delay Trip delay Drop-out delay
2.2.1.4 Cold load pickup
A temporary increased starting current can appear when energizing feeders with loads that had a long zero voltage period (e.g. air-conditioning systems, heating installations, motors...). Its value can be up to several times higher than the nominal current. To avoid unwanted protection operation the pickup limit has to be raised temporarily. The function is set with parameter Enable. It triggers through the activation of corresponding digital input or when current raises above 5 % of I of time has passed.

Earth fault overcurrent protection - ANSI code 50/51|N/G

Earth fault overcurrent protection is one of the basic functions of FPC 200 numerical relay. It comprises of various time­delayed characteristics. Protective function includes CLP and inhibition by Inrush restraint [2.2.5] function.
2.2.2.1 Functionality
Earth fault overcurrent function is used as non­directional earth fault protection. Pickup value of this function is normally set lower than pickup value of phase overcurrent protection. Protection picks up when the earth fault current exceeds the set threshold value. The function can be enabled or disabled through corresponding menu. Trip time characteristics can be selected to be Instantaneous, Definite time (DT) or Inverse definite minimum time (IDMT). When instantaneous operation mode is selected the trip signal is stated as the DT characteristic.
Several earth fault protection instances with different settings can run independently at the same time.
The selection of pickup value, pickup delay as well as drop-out ratio and drop-out delay helps the user to fine tune the protection according to the project specifications.

Negative sequence/unbalance overcurrent protection - ANSI code 46

Uneven distribution of currents is caused by asymmetrical loads, single or two phase earth faults, line disconnections or irregular switching operations. Negative sequence/unbalance overcurrent protection function calculates negative sequence current of symmetrical components in three phase system.
2.2.3.1 Functionality
Function is used for detecting unbalanced loads in the power system. Negative sequence value is defined by the asymmetry of power system. Asymmetrical faults selectivity is achieved by considering negative sequence value.
In order to prevent malfunction of the protection and to achieve better selectivity additional operational conditions must be applied:
All phase currents have to be below the set
Maximum current value and
At least one phase current has to be above the
set Minimum current value
Protection selectivity is further improved with trip delay time value set higher than the one set in main protections (e.g. Overcurrent protection).
The trip time characteristics can be selected to be Instantaneous, definite time (DT) or inverse definite minimum time (IDMT). When instantaneous operation mode is selected the trip signal is stated as the DT characteristic with zero trip delay parameter.
The selection of pickup value, pickup delay as well as drop-out ratio and drop-out delay helps the user to fine tune the protection according to the project specifications.

Inrush restraint

Inrush restraint function is a blocking function. The function can block overcurrent or earth fault overcurrent protection from operating for pre-defined period of time.
2.2.6.1 Functionality
Transformer inrush current includes high 2nd harmonic component. The Inrush restraint function is based on evaluation of 2nd harmonic component present in the inrush current. Inrush current detection is set for each monitored current separately as defined in Table 16. When transformer is energized high amount of 2
nd
harmonic component is present. In order to prevent unwanted tripping Inrush restraint function can be used. Another example is in combination with 50N/51N protection function. When large object (e.g. Transformer) is energized large amount of transients are present. Because of that a large zero sequence can be calculated which can trigger unwanted tripping of 50N/51N protection function. To once again prevent unwanted tripping Inrush restraint should be used.
In order for inrush restraint to inhibit desired protection its output should be assigned in parameter Inrush
restraint source which is present in all types of overcurrent protection [2.2.1, 2.2.2].
2.2.6.2 Monitoring

Machine Thermal Overload Protection - ANSI code 49M

Machine thermal overload protection (MTOP) is designed to protect machines with different heating and cooling constant against thermal overload. The function estimates temperature of the object according to measured phase currents its characteristics and ambient temperature.
2.5.2.1 Functionality
The algorithm calculates the relative temperature of protected device based on current measurement. The temperature is calculated for each phase separately and only highest current is displayed. The monitored value for protection is the highest calculated temperature.
When the alarm or trip temperature value is reached, the appropriate alarm or trip temperature warning signal is stated. The alarm and trip temperature value parameter can be set in percentage of machine heating. In order to make the calculation of time to trip possible, the heating and cooling time constant parameters must be set. Information about the heating constant for particular machine can be found in device tables or acquired from the manufacturer of the protected equipment. For passive cooling machines, the cooling constant is equal to the heating constant.
The protection detects the overload, when the maximal allowed permanent thermal current I the start of overheating of protected element, is exceeded. The service factor has to be set. The constant is defined as service factor = I maximal thermal current and the I current of the protected device.

Current over temperature values are written to Temperature Lx outputs separately for each phase. The value is written as a relative value, where 100 % represents that the maximal allowed over temperature is reached. By resetting values on outputs, their start values can be set by user interface. At the device start­up, this outputs are reset to zero, which represents no over temperature.
Equations below are used in protection algorithm.
2.5.2.1.1 Heating and cooling equation
The service factor is maximal allowed permanent current of the machine. It is determined by materials used, construction properties and it is defined according to the environment where the protected device is used. Usually it is available from property tables supplied by the manufacturer.
Trip signal is stated when current in any phase exceeds

Temperature monitoring - ANSI code 38/49T

Temperature monitoring is associated with additional external module including up to 8 resistance temperature detectors (RTDs). Correct external module connection is required for protection to perform as specified.
2.5.3.1 Functionality
Temperature monitoring is a function, used as temperature dependent protection. Alarm signal is stated when measured temperature exceeds the selected alarm threshold. Trip signal of function is set when measured temperature exceeds the selected trip threshold. For each RTD there are separate function settings.
The function operation can be enabled or disabled individually for each RTD.
2.5.3.3 Delay
To ensure correct operation of function an individual measurement needs to exceed desired threshold of alarm or trip at least twice in a row.
2.5.3.4 Block of the protection
In addition the individual protection trip exhibits pulse type if connected to trip relay [4.2.4.5.7, relay mapping section], to ensure correct CBFP [2.6.1.10] functionality.
Figure 2.33: Temperature monitor setting as seen on HMI.
2.5.3.2 Measurement
Measurement is performed using specific algorithms to interpret measurement of probes resistance. RTDs are using 3-wire connection type to temperature sensors.
2.5.3.5 RTD fault
RTD fault signal is provided to ensure the correct operation of external module as well as its sensors. If the connection to one of the sensors is terminated or short-circuited, the RTD fault signal is activated. The signal remains active as long as the fault persists. The fault can only occur if a protection of a malfunction sensor is active.

Locked rotor protection, excessive starting time - ANSI code 48/51LR/14

Failure of a rotating machine to accelerate when its stator is energized can be caused by several types of abnormal conditions, including mechanical failure of the machine or load bearings, low supply voltage, or an open circuit in one phase of a three-phase voltage supply. When a rotating machine stator winding is energized with the rotor stationary, the machine performs like a transformer with resistance-loaded secondary winding. Stator winding currents may typically range from three to seven or more times the rated full-load value, depending on the machine design and supply system impedance.
Although the rotating machine starting current does drop off near full speed, this effect is normally neglected, providing some safety margin from relay operation during rotor acceleration.
2.5.4.1 Functionality
Considering the current amplitude on start-up is at maximum most of the time, the algorithm takes into account that the start-up current is constant and is equal to maximum start-up current. Therefore the allowed start-up time is constant. This function distinguishes between different rotating machine conditions, regarding current and digital input states. Trip of the function is considered as soon as any stated condition is detected. When rotating machine reaches stopped state, all signals are set to zero and all timers are reset.

2.5.4.1.1 Excessive start – ANSI 48
Condition is considered if starting [2.6.4.3.2] signal is set for longer period than Start-up time of the machine, while rotation [2.5.4.3] signal is present.

Starts per hour - ANSI code 66

Protection Starts per hour is meant to prevent too frequent starts of the rotating machine in a given time window.
2.5.5.1 Functionality
Rotating machine manufacturers usually define allowed number of starts within given time period by one of two criteria:
How many starts are allowed within one hour How many consecutive starts are allowed according to current thermal state of the machine
This protection can be set up by either of those criteria, or even both of them. User can also define minimum delay between starts. When any of given criteria is reached the protection inhibits starting of the machine by blocking the circuit breaker closing command. Thermal state of the machine is determined by Thermal overload protection [2.5.1], which needs to be enabled for proper thermal detection of the machine.

Buchholz relay protection – ANSI code 63

2.5.6.1 Description
Buchholz relay protection is external protection that mechanically controls oil level and oil flow in certain power transformers. Protection consists of two instances one dedicated to Leak and pressure switch and second to Float switch. Float switch indicates slow air build up in Buchholz cylinder, usually indicating minor discharge fault in transformer. While Leak and pressure switch detects forceful oil flow usually indicating major short-circuit related fault in transformer.

Trip circuit supervision - ANSI 74 - TCS

Trip circuit supervision function (TCS) is designed for surveillance of breaker control circuits.
2.6.2.1 Functionality
Function is executed autonomously by the device. Two digital galvanic isolated inputs are used. The result of Trip circuit supervision function is a signal that can be used to activate digital output. The signal can also be accessed using the communication protocol. The function itself has different operating modes each using its own connection scheme and alarm status trigger.
Table 58: Basic description of TCS module functionalities.
2.6.2.2 Mode 1
Mode 1 is considered basic TCS operation. TCS state is valid if exactly one of the Input TCS 1 or TCS 2 has value
1. Invalid states are 00 and 11. For each of invalid states a delay is set. After corresponding delay elapses the TCS wrong position signal is stated.

Figure 2.39 Trip circuit supervision with two digital inputs and function of monitoring circuit breaker position.
Table 59: TCS function response according to inputs using Mode 1 setting.
The benefit of using two digital inputs is that only two digital inputs are used to indicate status of circuit breaker and monitor the trip circuit. There is also no need of external resistor to be used. It has to be taken in to account that, when circuit breaker is in open position trip circuit supervision does not monitor line from trip

2.6.2.3 Mode 2
In order to supervise section between trip contact compartment and circuit breaker compartment when CB is in open position, a control diagram used in Mode 2 [Figure 2.40] can be used by adding two additional wires to circuit breaker compartment.
It should be noted that by using this scheme, both of trip circuit supervision digital inputs are connected in serial. The case occurs when circuit breaker is in open position and none of trip contacts is active. This situation will result in a valid position when both of the contacts are active.
Table 60: TCS function response according to inputs using Mode 2 setting.
2.6.2.4 Mode 3
Mode 3 is a single TCS input mode. The benefit of using one digital input is that no additional wiring from the device to the circuit breaker compartment is needed. It should be noted that by using this scheme an additional external resistor is needed. By using the resistor a trip circuit is supervised in closed and opened position of CB.

Auto-reclosing function - ANSI 79 - AR

Approximately 85 % of all faults occurring at overhead lines have temporary short circuit character. After protection operation they usually disappear. Line is switched back into operation the moment when fault is not present anymore and any delay runs out. Reclosing is executed with auto-reclosing function. If the fault is still present after reclosing the protection function will operate again. Based on setting the process of reclosing can repeat several times.
2.6.3.1 Functionality
The auto-reclosing function (AR) can be used with any circuit breaker suitable for auto reclosing. Four programmable AR shots are provided. Combined with dead time duration user can form a scenario which will be executed in case of fault occurrence.
Auto reclose function is set in standby mode when it is enabled and no blocking or trip signals are present. The function monitors trip signals. When any of them is triggered the function operates according to defined scenario.
Figure 2.44: Automatic reclosing successful in second attempt.
In case when the last auto-reclosing shot is still unsuccessful a final trip order is given and AR function is blocked until circuit breaker close command is initiated.
Reclosing is considered successful when no trip signal appears after reclosing during the Reclaim time (Figure
2.44). In case of dynamic blocking, scenario is reset after one second delay. In case of fault appearing before reclaim time has passed AR function will continue with next cycle if any left.

3 Communication

FPC 200 can be connected to supervision communication network based on following communication protocols:
Modbus RTU IEC60870-5-103

3.1 Modbus RTU

General description

Modbus communication protocol uses request-reply logic to obtain information from dedicated devices. The device that executes request is always a master and device that listens to request is always a slave. Modbus protocol allows several slave devices to be connected to a single master device. Individual devices are addressed by a specific code unique to each slave device connected to communication network. FPC 200 is always a slave station and it allows to be connected to any other device with Modbus master communication channel.
Table 84 Modbus PDU format.

Modbus function supported

Modbus protocol uses standard set of functions. Functions are divided by the ability to read or write one or multiple data bits.
3.1.3.1 Read functions:

Modbus PDU (protocol data unit)

Every Modbus character frame send or received consists two fields which assign function code being used and data being transferred. The total number of data bits to be transferred in one package is dependent of the transfer function to be used. If there was no error during transmission of data function codes in request and reply are identical. There are two types of data that can be transmitted, bits (also called Coils) and 16 bit words (also called Registers). Words used to transfer data are always represented in big-endian format.
Figure 54 Modbus RTU character frame
Function 2: reading of n input bits Function 3: reading of n output or internal bits Function 4: reading of n input words
3.1.3.2 Write functions:
Function 5: writing of 1 bit Function 6: writing of 1 word
Function 16: writing of n words

Time synchronization

Time synchronization zone is dedicated to set exact time to the device. To write time massage function 16 containing 4 words should be used. Reading device time massages can be done separately word by word, or by using a multiple words function 3 can be used to access whole timestamp instead. It is possible that internal clock could drift over time. To ensure that device internal time is set correctly, time synchronization should be carried out over regular intervals of 10 to 60

The clock synchronization sending telegram interval should be more than 30 sec apart.
s. If device receives no time synchronization massage for 300 s the event Time not sync is triggered.
Internal clock is written according to IEC 60870-5-4, Binary Time 2a standard and consists of 8 characters structure:
Table 85 Communication telegram structure of time synchronization.

Events

3.1.5.1 Time tagging of events
For purpose of transparency of the data processed by FPC 200, the device uses time tagging function to timestamp specific events that occurred during its operation. Therefore chronological order of events can be maintained accurately. Internal time is used when device time tags the event.
All the events that are recorded in device are available over Modbus communication with two internal storage queues of total 100 stored events.
- Value of the event
Table 86 Event reading communication telegram structure.
3.1.5.3 Reading of events
Monitoring system periodically reads the control word and checks whether there are new events available. Only reading of control word is allowed or reading of the whole 33 word block. For all other requests, the device returns an error (Wrong data).
On the arrival of new events in the buffer, the device writes the values of events into the structure in the analogue table and increases the number of transactions in the control word by 1 and sets the number of written events (maximum 4).
Monitoring system reads the values of the events, checks for any reception errors and validity of the data. If events are present, device stops to write new events in the buffer and waits for confirmation for those that were sent last.
3.1.5.2 Structure
The device presents up to four events at the same time for each buffer and one control word. Structure of data in the table looks as follows:
Control word + Event 1 + Event 2 + Event 3 + Event 4
The function of control word is to ensure correct reception of all data, even in case of trouble and loss of data at communication. To ensure this, it includes number of transactions and number of events. On device boot, number of transactions is 0.
Events are recorded in 8 word structure. Each event consists of the following information:
- Address where the data is stored
- Exact time of the event
USER MANUAL FPC 200 - 3/2017 83
Monitoring system confirms correct reception to device with writing into control word the same transaction number and number of events is reset to 0.
Upon confirmation of successful reception from the monitoring system, the device erases the transferred events from buffer, in analog table all words for the events are set to 0, writes new events and sets a new control word, as previously described. Deletion of events is only allowed if a request to read the entire block of events has previously been issued. Namely, the
monitoring system can’t confirm events, if it did not
read them previously.
When device sends all events and clears its buffer, it does not change the control word anymore even after the monitoring system reads the control word.

3.2 Protocol IEC60870-5-103

Standard IEC60870-5-103 defines communication between protection equipment and dedicated supervisor devices. The standard in full form can be obtained from the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).

General description

The IEC60870-5-103 protocol is a Slave – Master based communication protocol. An information can be exchanged between master and one or multiple slave devices. A supervisor or other device is used as master and the device is always used as a slave station. Multiple slave stations can be connected to the supervisor device. Each slave station is identified by unique address.
The following application functions can be accessed or executed using this protocol:
Time synchronization Confirmation of alarms Reading the metering information Reading the device status and switchgear
diagnostic information
Transmission of remote controls

Acronyms and Terms

Protocol data transfer

The standard defines two methods of exchanging information. First, which is supported, by using predefined ASDU (Application Service Data Units) data structures and predefined transmission of standardized information. Second, non-supported, uses generic services which defines the transmission of any type of information. The protocol is using two types of exchanging information based on its source divided to control direction and monitoring direction.
Table 101 Description of acronyms and terms.
If a BIDI is selected the event is generated on both on event occurrence and event disappearance. Else event is generated only on its occurrence.

3.2.3.1 Monitor direction
Defines direction of transmission from the protection equipment to the control system. Primarily it is used to send cyclic and event information transmission requests of master to the slave device/s.
Class 1 data pooling is usually used for event
type of transmission.
Class 2 data pooling is usually used for Cyclic
sending of data. Typically for metering information.
3.2.3.2 Control direction
Defines direction of transmission from the control system to the protection equipment. Typically for:
sending control commands time synchronization commands Executing of start/reset communication
commands.
Table 104 Supported COT numbers in control direction.
3.2.3.3 The device initialization
Whenever the device has started, a Start/restart procedure is required to initialise a communication. The device communications can be reset using either the Reset CU or Reset FCB command. The Command Reset CU will also clear any unsent massages while Reset FCB will only initialise the communication.
Table 103 Supported COT numbers in monitor direction.
3.2.3.4 Time synchronization
The device date and time can be synchronized using the standardized synchronization command. The command can be send to individual with confirm request or to all devices with no reply request (address 255). The device also accounts time synchronization correction according to this standard.
3.2.3.5 General interrogation
General interrogation represents group of data, general information about the status of the device. If GI is requested the device will respond with the data as marked in Table 106. This data is also transmitted spontaneously (COT 1).
