Application Notes P34x/EN AP/F33 MiCOM P342, P343 Note 4: Page 135/176 For the P343, the IA/IB/IC Current magnitudes are IA-1 Magnitude, IB-1 Magnitude, IC-1 Magnitude. 2.27.4 Setting guidelines for current loop outputs Each current loop output can be selected as Enabled or Disabled. One of four types of analogue output can be selected for transducers with ranges of 0-1mA, 0-10mA, 0-20mA or 4-20mA. The 4-20mA range is often used so that an output current is still present when the measured value falls to zero. This is to give a fail safe indication and may be used to distinguish between the analogue transducer output becoming faulty and the measurement falling to zero. The Maximum and Minimum settings allow the user to enter the measuring range for each analogue output. The range, step size and unit corresponding to the selected parameter is shown in the table above. This allows the user to “zoom in” and monitor a restricted range of the measurements with the desired resolution. For voltage, current and power quantities, these settings can be set in either primary or secondary quantities, depending on the ‘CLO1/2/3/4 Set Values – Primary / Secondary’ setting associated with each current loop output. The relationship of the output current to the value of the measurand is of vital importance and needs careful consideration. Any receiving equipment must, of course, be used within its rating but, if possible, some kind of standard should be established. One of the objectives must be to have the capability to monitor the voltage over a range of values, so an upper limit must be selected, typically 120%. However, this may lead to difficulties in scaling an instrument. The same considerations apply to current transducers outputs and with added complexity to watt transducers outputs, where both the voltage and current transformer ratios must be taken into account. Some of these difficulties do not need to be considered if the transducer is only feeding, for example, a SCADA outstation. Any equipment which can be programmed to apply a scaling factor to each input individually can accommodate most signals. The main consideration will be to ensure that the transducer is capable of providing a signal right up to the full-scale value of the input, that is, it does not saturate at the highest expected value of the measurand. 3. APPLICATION OF NON-PROTECTION FUNCTIONS 3.1 VT supervision The voltage transformer supervision (VTS) feature is used to detect failure of the ac voltage inputs to the relay. This may be caused by internal voltage transformer faults, overloading, or faults on the interconnecting wiring to relays. This usually results in one or more VT fuses blowing. Following a failure of the ac voltage input there would be a misrepresentation of the phase voltages on the power system, as measured by the relay, which may result in maloperation. The VTS logic in the relay is designed to detect the voltage failure, and automatically adjust the configuration of protection elements whose stability would otherwise be compromised. A time-delayed alarm output is also available. There are three main aspects to consider regarding the failure of the VT supply. These are defined below: P34x/EN AP/F33 Page 136/176 Application Notes MiCOM P342, P343 1. Loss of one or two phase voltages 2. Loss of all three phase voltages under load conditions 3. Absence of three phase voltages upon line energisation The VTS feature within the relay operates on detection of negative phase sequence (nps) voltage without the presence of negative phase sequence current. This gives operation for the loss of one or two phase voltages. Stability of the VTS function is assured during system fault conditions, by the presence of nps current. The use of negative sequence quantities ensures correct operation even where three-limb or ‘V’ connected VT’s are used. Negative sequence VTS element: The negative sequence thresholds used by the element are V2 = 10V (Vn = 100/120V) or 40V (Vn = 380/480V), and Ι2 = 0.05 to 0.5Ιn settable (defaulted to 0.05Ιn). 3.1.1 Loss of all three phase voltages under load conditions Under the loss of all three phase voltages to the relay, there will be no negative phase sequence quantities present to operate the VTS function. However, under such circumstances, a collapse of the three phase voltages will occur. If this is detected without a corresponding change in any of the phase current signals (which would be indicative of a fault), then a VTS condition will be raised. In practice, the relay detects the presence of superimposed current signals, which are changes in the current applied to the relay. These signals are generated by comparison of the present value of the current with that exactly one cycle previously. Under normal load conditions, the value of superimposed current should therefore be zero. Under a fault condition a superimposed current signal will be generated which will prevent operation of the VTS. The phase voltage level detectors are fixed and will drop off at 10V (Vn = 100/120V), 40V (Vn = 380/480V) and pick-up at 30V (Vn = 100/120V), 120V (Vn = 380/480V). The sensitivity of the superimposed current elements is fixed at 0.1Ιn. 3.1.2 Absence of three phase voltages upon line energisation If a VT were inadvertently left isolated prior to line energisation, incorrect operation of voltage dependent elements could result. The previous VTS element detected three phase VT failure by absence of all 3 phase voltages with no corresponding change in current. On line energisation there will, however, be a change in current (as a result of load or line charging current for example). An alternative method of detecting 3 phase VT failure is therefore required on line energisation. The absence of measured voltage on all 3 phases on line energisation can be as a result of 2 conditions. The first is a 3 phase VT failure and the second is a close up three phase fault. The first condition would require blocking of the voltage dependent function and the second would require tripping. To differentiate between these 2 conditions an overcurrent level detector (VTS Ι> Inhibit) is used which will prevent a VTS block from being issued if it operates. This element should be set in excess of any non-fault based currents on line energisation (load, line charging current, transformer inrush current if applicable) but below the level of current produced by a close up 3 phase fault. If the line is now closed where a 3 phase VT failure is present the overcurrent detector will not operate and a VTS block will be applied. Closing onto a three phase fault will result in operation of the overcurrent detector and prevent a VTS block being applied. Application Notes P34x/EN AP/F33 MiCOM P342, P343 Page 137/176 This logic will only be enabled during a live line condition (as indicated by the relays pole dead logic) to prevent operation under dead system conditions i.e. where no voltage will be present and the VTS Ι> Inhibit overcurrent element will not be picked up.

Figure 49: VTS logic Required to drive the VTS logic are a number of dedicated level detectors as follows: • ΙA>, ΙB>, ΙC>, these level detectors operate in less than 20ms and their settings should be greater than load current. This setting is specified as the VTS current threshold. These level detectors pick-up at 100% of setting and drop-off at 95% of setting. • Ι2>, this level detector operates on negative sequence current and has a user setting. This level detector picks-up at 100% of setting and drops-off at 95% of setting. • ∆ΙIA>, ∆ΙB>, ∆ΙC>, these level detectors operate on superimposed phase currents and have a fixed setting of 10% of nominal. These level detectors are subject to a count strategy such that 0.5 cycle of operate decisions must have occured before operation. • VA>, VB>, VC>, these level detectors operate on phase voltages and have a fixed setting, Pick-up level = 30V (Vn = 100/120V), 120V (Vn = 380/480V), Drop Off level = 10V (Vn = 100/120V), 40V (Vn = 380/480V). • V2>, this level detector operates on negative sequence voltage, it has a fixed setting of 10V/40V depending on VT rating (100/120 or 380/480) with pick-up at 100% of setting and drop-off at 95% of setting.

Application Notes P34x/EN AP/F33 MiCOM P342, P343 3.1.3 Page 139/176 Menu settings The VTS settings are found in the ‘SUPERVISION’ column of the relay menu. The relevant settings are detailed below: Menu Text Default Setting Setting Range Min Max Step Size GROUP 1 SUPERVISION VTS Status Blocking Blocking, Indication VTS Reset Mode Manual Manual, Auto VTS Time Delay 5s 1s 10s 0.1s VTS Ι> Inhibit 10Ιn 0.08Ιn 32Ιn 0.01Ιn VTS Ι2> Inhibit 0.05Ιn 0.05Ιn 0.5Ιn 0.01Ιn The relay may respond as follows, an operation of any VTS element: • VTS set to provide alarm indication only (DDB 292 VT Fail Alarm); • Optional blocking of voltage dependent protection elements (DDB 736 VTS Fast Block, DDB 737 VTS Slow Block); • Optional conversion of directional SEF elements to non-directional protection (available when set to blocking mode only). These settings are found in the function links cell of the relevant protection element columns in the menu. Time delayed protection elements (Directional SEF, Power, Sensitive Power, Field Failure) are blocked after the VTS Time Delay on operation of the VTS Slow Block. Fast operating protection elements (Neutral Voltage Displacement, System Backup, Undervoltage, Dead Machine, Pole Slipping) are blocked on operation of the VTS Fast Block. Note, the directional SEF and neutral voltage displacement protection are only blocked by VTS if the neutral voltage input is set to Derived and not Measured. Other protections can be selectively blocked by customising the PSL, integrating DDB 736 VTS Fast Block and DDB 737 VTS Slow Block with the protection function logic. The VTS Ι> Inhibit or VTS Ι2> Inhibit elements are used to overide a VTS block in event of a fault occurring on the system which could trigger the VTS logic. Once the VTS block has been established, however, then it would be undesirable for subsequent system faults to override the block. The VTS block will therefore be latched after a user settable time delay ‘VTS Time Delay’. Once the signal has latched then two methods of resetting are available. The first is manually via the front panel interface (or remote communications) provided the VTS condition has been removed and secondly, when in ‘Auto’ mode, by the restoration of the 3 phase voltages above the phase level detector settings mentioned previously. A VTS indication will be given after the VTS Time Delay has expired. In the case where the VTS is set to indicate only the relay may potentially maloperate, depending on which protection elements are enabled. In this case the VTS indication will be given prior to the VTS time delay expiring if a trip signal is given. Where a miniature circuit breaker (MCB) is used to protect the voltage transformer ac output circuits, it is common to use MCB auxiliary contacts to indicate a three phase output disconnection. As previously described, it is possible for the VTS logic to operate correctly without this input. However, this facility has been provided for P34x/EN AP/F33 Application Notes Page 140/176 MiCOM P342, P343 compatibility with various utilities current practices. Energising an opto-isolated input assigned to “MCB Open” on the relay will therefore provide the necessary block. Where directional SEF elements are converted to non-directional protection on VTS operation, it must be ensured that the current pick-up setting of these elements is higher than full load current. 3.2 CT supervision The current transformer supervision feature is used to detect failure of one or more of the ac phase current inputs to the relay. Failure of a phase CT or an open circuit of the interconnecting wiring can result in incorrect operation of any current operated element. Additionally, interruption in the ac current circuits risks dangerous CT secondary voltages being generated. 3.2.1 The CT supervision feature The CT supervision feature operates on detection of derived residual current, in the absence of corresponding derived or measured residual voltage that would normally accompany it. The CT supervision can be set to operate from the residual voltage measured at the VNEUTRAL input or the residual voltage derived from the 3 phase-neutral voltage inputs as selected by the ‘CTS Vn Input’ setting. The voltage transformer connection used must be able to refer residual voltages from the primary to the secondary side. Thus, this element should only be enabled where the 3 phase VT is of five limb construction, or comprises three single phase units, and has the primary star point earthed. A derived residual voltage or a measured residual voltage is available. Operation of the element will produce a time-delayed alarm visible on the LCD and event record (plus DDB 293: CT Fail Alarm), with an instantaneous block (DDB 738: CTS Block) for inhibition of protection elements. Protection elements operating from derived quantities, (Neg Seq O/C) are always blocked on operation of the CT supervision element; other protections can be selectively blocked by customising the PSL, integrating DDB 738: CTS Block with the protection function logic.
