The special version -303 -402 -502 incorporates anextended operating frequency range for the voltagememory and the power swing blocking function in additionto the features and functions of the standard versions-302/-303 -401/-402 -602.

Distance Protection

Distance and Directional Measurement

The frequency range of the voltage memory is extended.The voltage memory is enabled, if the measuredfrequency satisfies the following condition:

0.95 f f 1.05 fnom nom� � � �

Power Swing Blocking

When power swing blocking is activated, a distance trip inzones 1 to 5 is prevented if there are power swings in thenetwork.

Three-pole distance protection starting with and withoutground initiates the start delay of the power swing blockingfunction. The start delay is intended to enable release inzone 1. After the settable start delay has elapsed, thedevice checks to determine whether the phase-to-phasevoltage 1VA-B is greater than 01. � Vnom . If this condition issatisfied, then the apparent power S is calculated from thequantities 1VA-B and IA-B . The amount of change inapparent power as referred to the apparent power at thatmoment is determined every 40 ms.

S1 S2S2

S1: apparent power at time t1S2: apparent power at time t1 + 40 ms

If the difference is greater than the set value, a blockingsignal is formed to block the distance trip for zones 1 to 5.This signal is extended by the settable release delay.

Power swing blocking is blocked if the monitoring functionof the voltage-measuring circuit operates.

U-1 Power swing blocking

The following figures show the formation of distancedecisions for the Zone 4 operating modes Normal, Section cable-line and Section line-cable.

3.1 Modular Structure

The PD 521, a numerical protection device, is one of thepieces of instrumentation in Subsystem P of the IntegratedProtection and Control System for Substations (ILS). Thedevices that are part of this system are built from identicaluniform hardware modules. Figure 1 shows the basichardware structure of the PD 521 distance protectiondevice.

1 Basic hardware structure

The input transformers and optical couplers convert theexternal analog and binary variables - electrically isolated -to the internal processing levels. Commands and signalsgenerated within the device are accessible via floatingcontacts. The external auxiliary voltage is applied to thepower supply module which provides the voltages requiredinternally.

3.2 Man-Machine Communication

The following interfaces are available for the exchange ofinformation between operator and device:

� Integrated local control panel

� PC interface

� ILSA interface

Each piece of information and each parameter is codedwith an ‘address’ consisting of two two-digit decimalnumbers x and y. Changing x or y allows selection of anydesired address for display or where necessarymodification of the information stored at that address.(Please refer to Chapter 6.)

The addresses are standardized for all systems with theadvantage that the same information is coded with thesame address in each device type. The entire addressrange is divided into the following three groups:

3.3 Distance Protection

The secondary phase currents and voltages of the systemtransformer are fed to the PD 521 and – electricallyisolated – are converted to normalized electronics levels.The analog quantities are digitized and are thus availablefor further processing.

Settings that do not refer to nominal quantities areconverted by the PD 521 to nominal quantities. Thenominal current of the PD 521 must be set for thispurpose.

The connection arrangement of the distance protectionmeasuring circuit on the PD 521 must be set. (Figure 2shows the standard connection.) The phase of thedigitized phase current is rotated 180° by this setting.

From these currents (IA, IB and IC) the phase-to-phasecurrents IA-B, IB-C and IC-A are formed.

The current with the highest magnitude (IP,max) and thecurrent with the intermediate magnitude (IP,med) aredetermined from the phase currents.

The ground current 1IN is calculated by summation of IA, IBand IC.

The phase-to-phase voltages 1VA-B, 1VB-C and 1VC-A areformed from the digitized phase-to-ground voltages1VA-G, 1VB-G and 1VC-G and the neutral displacementvoltage 1VN-G.

3.3.1 Fault Detection Logic

The purpose of distance protection fault detection logic isphase-selective short-circuit detection. Fault detectionlogic is divided into the following areas:

� Overcurrent detection

� Ground fault detection

� Undervoltage detection

� Underimpedance detection

The fault detection decisions of the individual areas arelinked by fault detection logic.

Short-circuit currents that are greater than the maximumoperating load currents can be detected by overcurrentdetection logic. Undervoltage detection logic is providedfor short circuits that cannot be detected by overcurrentdetection logic. Ground fault detection logic distinguishesbetween grounded and ungrounded faults.

The fault detection logic function starts the timer stages ofthe trigger levels and – as a function of the phase-selective fault detection decision – selects the measuringloop in which the fault impedance is determined. Faultdetection logic is blocked in the following cases:

� if protection is disabled from the local control panel orthrough appropriately configured binary signal inputs;

� if measuring-circuit monitoring detects a fault in thevoltage-measuring circuit.

Protection can only be deactivated or activated throughbinary signal inputs if the M A I N : D e a c t i v a t e p r o t .E X T and M A I N : A c t i v a t e p r o t . E X T functionsare both configured. When only one or neither of the twofunctions is configured, this is interpreted as “Protectionexternally activated.” If the triggering signals of the binarysignal inputs are implausible, as for example when theyboth have a logic value of “1,” then the last plausible stateremains stored in memory.

Overcurrent Detection Logic

Overcurrent detection logic monitors the phase currentsfor values in excess of the threshold values I>> and I>>>.The I>> threshold can be set. I>>> is 2 � ��I . Thethresholds are identical for all three phases.

The output signals of the I>> trigger assume a logic valueof "1" if the threshold is exceeded in two consecutive half-waves. Overcurrent detection is delayed by the set timetI>> if the current is below 5 � I>>. Thereby, false faultdetection decisions caused by inrush currents onswitching can be suppressed for lines with connectedtransformers. In the case of the I>>> trigger only one half-wave must exceed the threshold for the output signals toassume a logic value of "1."

If I>> is exceeded in one phase, then it is sufficient forovercurrent detection if I>>> is exceeded in the otherphases. In this case the fault detection time is shortenedsince there is no longer any need to wait for the secondhalf-wave.

Evaluation of the trigger decisions is a function of the typeof neutral-point treatment set in the PD 521. If isolated-neutral/resonant-grounded or short-time grounding isset, then I>> overcurrent detection occurs in the phase(s)in which the I>> threshold is exceeded. With the settingimpedance-grounded the following condition must also besatisfied:

If the ground faultchanges to a phase-to-ground fault then ground faultstarting operates without delay when the threshold ofthe IN> or VN-G> trigger is exceeded.

Ground Fault Starting Signals

Signals are derived from ground fault detection triggerdecisions. If neutral-point treatment is set for Lowimpedance-grounding, then the following signals areissued:

� When VN-G>> is exceeded,S T A R T : V N - G > > t r i g g e r e d is signaled.

� By selecting the appropriate setting the user canspecify whether a “trip” should occur after the timerstage tVN-G>> has elapsed.

With the settings Isolated neutral/resonant-grounding orShort-duration grounding the M A I N : G r o u n d f a u l tsignal is issued after tVN-G>> elapses (see Figure 6) if thereis no multi-phase starting.

Enabling Undervoltage and UnderimpedanceDetection Logic

Undervoltage and underimpedance detection logic areenabled by I>(Imin) in the corresponding measuringsystems. In order to control contention problems whencurrent and voltage appear at the same time (branchvoltage transformers), enabling of the measuring systemsis delayed by 15 ms.

In isolated-neutral systems or resonant-groundedsystems, one of the two phases may carry just a smallload current falling below the base point current I>(Imin).In this case, the undervoltage decisions are enabled if theV< condition is met in two phases whereas the I>condition is satisfied in one phase only. This extendedenabling logic will operate only for the neutral-pointtreatment settings Isol./reson. w. start. P-G and Short-duration grounding.

Undervoltage Detection Logic

Undervoltage detection logic monitors the phase-to-ground voltages or the phase-to-phase voltages todetermine whether they fall below the set threshold V<.

Operation of undervoltage detection can be determinedthrough selection of the operating mode. The followingmodes are possible:

� Undervoltage detection logic is deactivated.

� Undervoltage detection logic evaluates only thedecisions of the phase-to-ground loops, once thesefunctions have been enabled by ground fault detection.

� Ground fault detection brings about a switch fromphase-to-phase to phase-to-ground loops.

If the following – contradictory – setting combination hasbeen selected, namely

� M A I N : N e u t r a l - p o i n t t r e a t ( m e n t )Isol./reson. w/o start P-G and

� S T A R T : O p e r a t ( i n g ) m o d e With V</Z< starting P-G,

then when ground starting SG occurs, the phase-to-phaseloops are always enabled. If no ground starting occurs,then the undervoltage detection function is blocked.

Underimpedance Detection Logic

Underimpedance detection logic determines theimpedances of the phase-to-ground or phase-to-phaseloops.

Operation of underimpedance detection logic – as well asundervoltage detection logic – can be controlled throughselection of the operating mode. The following modes arepossible:

� Both the underimpedance and undervoltage detectionlogic are disabled.

� The underimpedance and undervoltage detectionfunctions evaluate only the decisions of the phase-to-ground loops, once these functions have been enabledby ground fault detection logic.

� Ground fault detection brings about a switch fromphase-to-phase to phase-to-ground loops.

If, as a special case, the following – contradictory –settingcombination has been selected, namely

� M A I N : N e u t r a l - p o i n t t r e a t ( m e n t )"Isol./reson. w/o start P-G" and

� S T A R T : O p e r a t ( i n g ) m o d e “With V</Z< starting P-G",

then when ground starting SG occurs, the phase-to-phaseloops are always enabled. If no ground starting occurs,then the undervoltage and underimpedance detectionfunctions are blocked.

All underimpedance detection measuring loops areblocked when the trigger I>>> operates (see ‘Overcurrentdetection logic’). When overcurrent or undervoltagedetection logic operates, the corresponding measuringloops are blocked phase-selectively.

If measurement is enabled, the loop impedance isdetermined and compared to ascertain that it is within theset impedance range. The loop impedance of the phase-to-ground loops is determined, depending on the setting,by using the ground current corrected by the set groundfactor kG or by using twice the phase current.

The following values must be set in order to determine theunderimpedance detection characteristic:

� Reactance in the forward direction: Xfw

� Load angle �

� Ratio Zbw/Zfw(Impedance in backward direction: Zbw

Impedance in forward direction: Zfw)

� Phase-to-ground resistance in forward direction:Rfw P-G

� Phase-to-phase resistance in forward direction:Rfw P-P

If, on the basis of the settings, the reach in the backwarddirection is greater than 3 �Znom , then the range is limitedto 3 �Znom ( Z V Inom nom nom� / ).

Fault Detection Logic

The fault detection logic links the phase-selective outputsignals from

� Overcurrent detection logic (I>>)

� Ground fault detection logic

� Undervoltage detection logic (V<)

� Underimpedance detection logic (Z<)

to form common phase-selective starting decisions SA, SB,SC and SN1. The decisions SA, SB and SC are combined toform "distance protection starting" – and thus theS T A R T : G e n e r a l s t a r t i n g signal. Ground startingalone does not bring about general starting.

In the case of starting via overcurrent detection logic,single-phase starting without ground may occur. In orderfor the measured values for distance and directionalmeasurement to be properly selected even in this case,either SN1 starting or starting in another phase must betriggered as well. It is possible to specify whether in thecase of single-phase starting, SN1 starting will always betripped or whether – depending on the magnitude of thephase currents – SN1 or starting in one phase shall betransfer-tripped.

� M A I N : T r a n s f e r f o r 1 pGroundWith single-phase overcurrent detection logic, SN1 isstarted and transfer-tripped after the timer stage tIN>has elapsed (see "ground fault detection logic" forsetting).

If starting changes from single-phase overcurrentstarting without ground to multi-phase starting orsingle-phase-to-ground starting, starting occursinstantaneously.

� M A I N : T r a n s f e r f o r 1 pP or G = f(IP,med , IP,max)The decision as to whether starting in one phase orSN1 starting will be tripped is derived from the ratioI IP med P, ,max/ . The magnitude of the medium phasecurrent must be more than 2/3 the magnitude of themaximum current so that the phase is transfer-tripped.If the current with the medium-sized magnitude issmaller, SN1 will be tripped after the timer stage tIN>has elapsed.

If starting switches from single-phase overcurrentstarting without ground to multi-phase starting orsingle-phase-to-ground starting, starting will beinstantaneous.

3.3.2 Selection of Measured Variables

The PD 521 selects a measuring loop based on thephase-selective fault detection decision and the selectedphase priority. The short-circuit impedance and faultdirection are determined from this measuring loop’svoltage and current.

In the case of three-phase fault detection, either groundedor ungrounded, the minimum voltage of the phase-to-phase voltages and the associated phase-to-phasecurrent are selected as measured variables. In the caseof double-phase-to-ground fault detection, the set phasepriority is the determining factor for selecting themeasured variables.

3.3.3 Distance and Directional Measurement

The PD 521 determines the fault impedance and the faultdirection on the basis of the selected measured variables.A voltage memory is available so that measurement willfunction correctly, even with very low fault voltages.

Voltage Memory

The voltage 1VA-B is the reference voltage for the voltagememory. If the voltage exceeds the default value of0.65 Vnom and if there is no "distance protection starting,"then the voltage memory is synchronized.Synchronization requires approximately 100 ms. Then acheck is carried out to determine whether the frequencysatisfies the following condition:

0 99 101. .� � � �f f fnom nom.

If the condition is satisfied, the voltage memory is enabled.The frequency condition is checked in cycles at intervalsof approximately 10 ms. As soon as the condition is nolonger satisfied, the enable is canceled.

If the magnitude of the reference voltage drops below0.65 Vnom or if “distance protection starting” occurs,synchronization of the voltage memory is terminated. Thevoltage memory is then free-running and remains enabledfor 2 s.

Angle Determination

When "distance protection starting" occurs, the angles �Fand �S are determined.

Angle �F is the fault angle that is determined using theselected measuring voltage Vmeas and the selectedmeasuring current Imeas. In order for the fault angle �F toalso be reliably determined in the event of arcing faults,only the fundamental wave of the measuring voltage isused for angle measurement.

Angle �S is determined on the basis of the voltage storedin memory and the selected measuring current Imeas.Since the frequency of the stored voltage can differ fromthe nominal frequency, a phase correction must be made.This correction is determined by the frequency deviationand the time that has elapsed since synchronization wasterminated. Furthermore, an angle correction as afunction of the selected measuring loop and the M A I N :R o t a r y f i e l d setting is necessary. The resultingangle �X is used for further processing.

� the fault angle �F,

� the angle �X,

� the set angle �.

Directional Measurement

If the selected measuring voltage Vmeas is greater than0.15 Vnom when the fault occurs, then the direction isdetermined using the fault angle �F. In the case of ameasuring voltage of less than 0.15 Vnom, theangle �X is used for directional determination. If thevoltage memory is not enabled, the angle �X cannot bedetermined. In this case a check is made to determinewhether the measuring voltage Vmeas is in the range200 mV < Vmeas < 0.15 Vnom. If this is not the case,

direction is determined using the fault angle �F.Directional determination using �X or �F is not possible ifthe voltage memory is not enabled or if the measuringvoltage is less than 200 mV. In these cases the setangle � is used for directional measurement, which meansthat a decision is made in favor of the forward direction.

The impedance zones are determined by the followingsettings:

3.3.4 Impedance-Time Characteristics

A maximum of four impedance zones and six timer stagesare available for impedance time grading. All impedancezones can be operated in a forward direction, backwarddirection, or non-directionally. The distance-independenttimer stage t5 can also operate forward-directionally,backward-directionally or non-directionally. Timer stage t6operates independently of distance and direction. All timerstages are started by "distance protection starting." Thestage times are corrected by the inherent delay or operatetime of starting (approximately 30 ms).

Zone 4 can be utilized as a special zone by means of theD I S T : Z o n e 4 setting. This makes it possible toimplement special characteristics for applications in cableor line networks.

When the D I S T : Z o n e 4 setting is "Normal", theimpedance zones, timer stages and directional settingsare assigned as follows:

Impedance zone 1 Direction N1 t1

Impedance zone 2 Direction N2 t2

Impedance zone 3 Direction N3 t3

Impedance zone 4 Direction N4 t4

The "Distance trip" decision is reached for zones 1 to 4 ifthe following criteria are satisfied simultaneously:

� A distance decision exists for the zone.

� The timer stage assigned to this impedance zone haselapsed.

� The measured direction agrees with the directionalsetting assigned to this impedance zone.

If several timer stages and directions are set to the samevalues, a distance trip occurs in the zone with the highestnumber.

The "Distance trip zone 5" decision is reached if thefollowing conditions are satisfied simultaneously:

� Timer stage t5 has elapsed.

� The measured direction agrees with the directionalsetting for N5.

After timer stage t6 has elapsed, the "Distance trip zone 6"decision is reached.

If protective signaling (PSIG) is used in the operatingmodes Signal comparison blocking scheme or Signalcomparison pilot wire, a distance trip occurs instanta-neously in zone 1 if the following conditions are satisfiedsimultaneously:

� There is a distance decision in zone 1.

� The measured direction agrees with the directionalsetting for N1.

3.4 Measuring-Circuit Monitoring

The PD 521 monitors the phase currents and voltages forbalance during healthy system operation. If unbalance orthe lack of measuring voltage is detected, action is takento prevent the protection device from malfunctioning. Themonitoring signals issued in the event of a fault in themeasuring circuits are entered in the monitoring signalmemory. If this is not desired, entry of the monitoringsignals in the monitoring signal memory can be disabled.

Ground starting results in a warning signal if at least onephase-to-ground voltage is greater than 0.7 Vnom/�3.Thereby, warnings for lines disconnected at both ends areavoided in low-impedance-grounded systems wherecapacitively coupled neutral-displacement voltages inexcess of VNG> may occur.

Monitoring the Voltage-Measuring Circuits

The voltages used by distance protection as measuredvariables are monitored by the voltage-measuring circuitmonitoring function for plausibility. However, this does notreplace the auxiliary contact of the voltage transformerm.c.b., which is absolutely necessary in the case ofactivated undervoltage and underimpedance starting.

Monitoring of the voltage-measuring circuits is based onthe following criteria:

� Monitoring the phase-to-phase voltages for voltagesthat fall below the default threshold of 0 4. �Vnom . Thismonitoring function is enabled when the phase currentis greater than 0 05. � Inom or for the “closed“ position ofthe circuit breaker provided that MON: Meas. volt .c ircuit is set to Vneg w. CB contact enabl.

� Monitoring the negative-sequence component ofphase-to-ground voltages in accordance with thedefinition of the symmetrical components. Monitoringis enabled when a phase-to-ground voltage exceedsthe default threshold of 0 7 3. /�Vnom . In addition tothis criterion, a minimum current having the defaultthreshold setting of I � �0 05. Inom or the closed positionof the circuit breaker can be used as enabling criteria.If there is an enable, the absolute value of thenegative-sequence component of the voltage system isdetermined in accordance with the definition ofsymmetrical components.

If one of the monitoring functions described aboveoperates, then distance protection is blocked and thedevice switches to backup overcurrent time protection – ifthe appropriate setting was selected.

In addition, the monitoring signal “M O N : M e a s . v o l t .O K ” is issued if all phase-to-phase voltages exceed thedefault threshold of 0 65. �Vnom and negative-sequencemonitoring has not operated.

3.5 Backup Overcurrent-Time Protection(BUOC or Backup DTOC)

If there is a fault in the voltage-measuring circuit, distanceprotection is blocked, since accurate impedancemeasurement is not possible. Backup overcurrent timeprotection is automatically activated – if set accordingly.

Backup overcurrent time protection is enabled if there is afault in the voltage-measuring circuit. It monitors thephase currents for overcurrents exceeding the set valuesI>. If a phase current exceeds the set value, timer stage

tI> is started. After the set time period has elapsed, a tripsignal is issued.

If the "Low impedance-grounding" setting has beenselected, the ground current 1IN is also monitored by thesettable trigger IN>, in addition to the phase currents. Ifthe ground current exceeds the set value, timer stage tIN>is started. After the set time has elapsed, a trip signal isissued.

3.6 Switch on to Fault Protection

When the circuit breaker is closed manually it is possibleto switch on to an existing fault. This is especially critical ifthe line in the remote station is grounded since thedistance protection would not clear the fault until t2 hadelapsed. The fastest possible clearance is desirable inthis situation, however.

To guarantee rapid clearing with manual closing, themanual close signal must be issued not only to the circuitbreaker but also to the PD 521. The manual close signal

is converted to an internal pulse. The pulse time can beset. It is possible to specify whether the following shalloccur during operation of the timer stage:

� The appearance of general starting (see Section“Tripping Logic” for a definition of general starting) shallcause a trip (S O T F : T r i p a f t . m a n . c l o s e ).

or

� A zone extension of impedance zone 1 shall occur(SOTF: Zone extension).

3.7 Protective Signaling

The reach of the first impedance zone of the distanceprotection function is normally set for values less than100%. Protective signaling is used to extend protection to100% of the section. This is achieved by logical linking ofthe signals that are transmitted by the remote station’sprotection device.

In order for protective signaling (PSIG) to function, thefollowing requirements must be satisfied:

� It must be activated.

� There must be no external block.

� There must be no transmission fault.

� The function PSIG: Receive EXT must beconfigured to a binary signal input.

Protective signaling can be activated or deactivated fromthe local control panel.

Page 60: alstom pd521

3 Operation(continued)

52 89521-302/-303-401/-402-602 / AFSV.12.06470 EN

Once protective signaling is ready, distance protectiontimer stage t1 is blocked. A trip enable in distanceprotection zone 1 is then issued after the protectivesignaling tripping time has elapsed.

41 Protective signaling tripping time

A communication malfunction or failure leads to aprotective signaling block. If protective signaling is carriedout by a signal transmission or communication device, thedevice’s fault signal can be connected. In the case ofprotective signaling via pilot wires or in the operating modereferred to as "reverse interlocking," an internal monitoringfunction detects any fault in the communication channel.

Protective signaling can be operated in seven differentmodes. The following operating modes require a signaltransmission device:

� Direct transfer trip underreaching

� Permissive underreaching transfer tripping (PUTT)

� Zone extension

� Signal comparison release scheme

� Signal comparison blocking scheme

For operation in the mode referred to as "Signal compari-son pilot wire," pilot wires are required for signal trans-mission.

P S I G : O p e r a t i n g m o d e "Direct transfer tripunderreaching"

When there is a “Distance trip zone 1" a signal is sent tothe remote station’s protection device. Upon receipt of thesignal by the remote station, the remote station’s circuitbreaker is tripped.

P S I G : O p e r a t i n g m o d e "Permissiveunderreaching transfer tripping (PUTT)”

With a "Distance trip zone 1" a signal is sent to the remotestation’s protection device. Upon receipt of the signal bythe remote station, the remote station’s circuit breaker istransfer tripped as a function of starting.

P S I G : O p e r a t i n g m o d e "Zone extension"

With "Distance trip zone 1" a signal is sent to the remotestation’s protection device. Upon receipt of thetransmitted signal the measuring range of zone 1 in theremote station is increased by the zone extension factorkze HSR. If the fault lies within the extended zone, theremote station’s protection device also decides in favor of“Distance trip zone 1.”

43 Reaches with zone extension(broken line: measuring range increased by the zone extension factor kze HSR)

P S I G : O p e r a t i n g m o d e “Signal comparisonrelease scheme"

In the idle state the measuring range of zone 1 in bothprotection devices is extended by the zone extensionfactor kze HSR. The “Distance trip zone 1” of bothprotection devices is blocked.

If distance protection starting begins and the fault lies inthe forward direction, a signal is sent to the remote station.

In the event of a fault, both protection devices measure byusing the normal measuring range and the rangeextended by the zone extension factor kze HSR. A tripenable is issued if one of the following conditions issatisfied after the distance protection timer stage t1 haselapsed:

� The fault lies within the non-extended measuringrange.

� The fault lies within the extended measuring range anda transmitted signal is received by the remote station.

44 Zone reaches with the release scheme(broken line: measuring range extended by the zone extension factor kze HSR)

If both zone extension factors (kze P-G HSR andkze P-P HSR) are set at a value of "1.0," a trip enable isissued only if the second of the conditions given above issatisfied.

In the event of a change in direction the received signal isignored for 80 ms (“transient blocking”) so that falsetripping will not occur in double line protection.

P S I G : O p e r a t i n g m o d e "Signal comparisonblocking scheme"

In the idle state the measuring range of zone 1 in bothprotection devices is extended by the zone extensionfactor kze HSR. The “Distance trip zone 1” of bothprotection devices is enabled.

If distance protection starting begins and the fault lies inthe backward direction, a signal is sent to the remotestation.

In the event of a fault, both protection devices measure byusing the normal measuring range and the rangeextended by the zone extension factor kze HSR. A“Distance trip zone 1” can be issued instantaneously (t0)with the normal reach. The “Distance trip zone 1” isblocked if the following conditions are satisfiedsimultaneously after distance protection timer stage t1 haselapsed:

� The fault lies within the extended measuring range.

� A transmitted signal is received by the remote station.

45 Zone reaches with the blocking scheme(broken line: measuring range extended by the zone extension factor kze HSR)

If both zone extension factors (kze P-G HSR andkze P-P HSR) are set at a value of "1.0," a trip is onlypossible after t1 has elapsed.

P S I G : O p e r a t i n g m o d e "Signal comparisonpilot wire"

To form the communication link it is necessary to connecteither the break contact or the make contact of thetransmitting relay, depending on the transmitting relaymode selected (Transm. relay make contact or Transm.relay break contact), to the P S I G : R e c e i v e E X Tinput of the remote station by means of pilot wires.

In the idle state there is a received signal in bothprotection devices (DC loop closed), and the measuringrange of zone 1 is extended by the zone extension factor

kze HSR. The “Distance trip zone 1” of both protectiondevices is enabled.

If distance protection starting begins and a fault lies in thebackward direction or if the overcurrent starting originatesfrom the distance protection starting, then a signal is sentto the remote station without delay.

In the event of a fault both protection devices measure byusing the normal measuring range and the measuringrange extended by the zone extension factor kze HSR. A“Distance trip zone 1” can be issued instantaneously (t0)with the normal reach. The “Distance trip zone 1” isblocked if the following conditions are satisfied simultane-ously after distance protection timer stage t1 has elapsed:

� The fault lies within the extended measuring range.

� A transmitted signal is received by the remote station.

If both zone extension factors (kze P-G HSR andkze P-P HSR) are set at a value of "1.0," a trip is onlypossible after t1 has elapsed.

The pilot wires are monitored for interruptions. If, duringfault-free operation, that is, when there is no distanceprotection starting, no signal is received by the remotestation for a period longer than the set transmitted signalreset time plus 600 ms, then a P S I G : T e l e c o m .f a u l t y signal (see Figure 42) is issued, and protectivesignaling is blocked.

P S I G : O p e r a t i n g m o d e "Reverse interlocking"

In radial networks with infeed from a single end it ispossible under certain conditions for busbar protection tobe configured by sampling the starting of feeder protectiondevices. By means of appropriate interconnection, a sendsignal is then formed when a feeder protection devicestarts. The receipt of this signal by the PD 521 blocks the“Distance trip zone 1.” The blocking signal reset isdelayed by approximately 80 ms.

The pilot wires are monitored. If a received signal ispresent for more than 10 s without any distance protectionstarting, then the distance trip zone 1 block is canceled. Anew block cannot occur until the received signal hasdropped out.

Echo Function

It is possible to select "without or with" echo on receive.This setting is only active in the following modes:

� PUTT (permissive underreaching transfer trip)

� Zone extension

� Signal comparison release scheme

� Signal comparison blocking scheme

If the "with" echo setting is selected, a signal is sent to theremote station if the received signal is present for morethan 50 ms and no “distance protection starting” is active.

The further transmission of a received signal as a sendsignal is then blocked for 20 s. This prevents apermanent signal from being transmitted.

Testing the Communication Channel

The communication link can be tested. For this purpose a500 ms send signal is issued through a binary signal inputor the integrated local control panel. The remote stationreceives this signal if the transmission section is OK.

In the mode referred to as "Direct transfer trip underreach"no test is possible, since a received signal will immediatelylead to a “Trip” in the remote station. Likewise, testing isnot possible with the "Reverse interlocking" setting.

Circuit breaker failure protection is activated by a generaltrip command from the PD 521 or – when a generalstarting state exists – through an appropriately configuredbinary signal input. After the settable time periodC B F : t C B F has elapsed, the fault must be cleared.Otherwise it can be assumed that the circuit breaker hasfailed. In this case the C B F : C B f a i l u r e signal isissued.

3.9 Ground Fault Direction Determination UsingSteady-State Values

Ground fault direction determination using steady-statevalues requires the neutral-point displacement voltage -formed from the three phase-to-ground voltages - and theground current as measured variables. A specialtransformer is provided in the PD 521 for the residualcurrent. The current transformer is designed specificallyfor this application so that it has a low phase-angle error.When there is a trip of the voltage transformer circuitbreaker, ground faults can be determined by steady-stateevaluation of the ground current. The user can specifywhether both ground current and displacement voltage willbe evaluated (steady-state power) or if only the groundcurrent will be evaluated (steady-state current). Theswitch from steady-state power evaluation to steady-statecurrent evaluation can also be carried out through a binarysignal input – given appropriate configuration.

When switching from steady-state power to steady-statecurrent evaluation or vice versa, the outputs of the non-active function are blocked.

If the system frequency is set to 60 Hz, ground faultdirection determination using steady-state values(GFDSS) is blocked.

The settable frequency f0 is filtered out from thesequantities using Fourier analysis. Three periods are usedfor analysis if the setting selected for the timer stageG F D S S : t V N - G > is greater than 60 ms. This meansthat typical ripple control frequencies are suppressed inaddition to all integer-frequency harmonics. If the timerstage has been set at values less than 60 ms, only oneperiod is used for filtering purposes.

Measurement is enabled after timer stage t V N - G > haselapsed; this module is started by the trigger VN-G>.Depending on the operating mode selected – eithercos phi circuit or sin phi circuit – the sign of active power(G F D S S : O p e r a t i n g m o d e cos phi circuit ) orreactive power (G F D S S : O p e r a t i n g m o d e sin phicircuit ) is used. Connection of the measuring circuits istaken into account by the setting G F D S S : C o n n e c t .meas. c irc. With the standard (forward) connection(see Figure 55) a decision for "LS" is reached in the caseof a ground fault on the line side and "BS" in the case of aground fault on the busbar side.

The distance protection and backup overcurrent timeprotection starting signals are linked to form commonstarting signals. The number of general starting signals(GS) is counted.

68 Starting signals

The following signals of the protection device arecombined to form common trip signals and tripcommands:

� Distance trips for zones 1 to 6

� START: Trip VN-G>>

� MON: Trip by Ineg

� BUOC: Tripping signal

� SOTF: Trip after manual close

If the PD 521 is operating with protective signaling, then azone 1 trip can be issued by protective signaling in the"Direct transfer trip underreach" and "PUTT (Permissiveunderreaching transfer tripping)" operating modes. In allother protective signaling modes an enable must beissued by protective signaling. If protective signaling is notready, then the zone 1 distance trip is automaticallyenabled.

The trip signals are present only as long as the conditionsfor the signal are satisfied.

If a general starting condition exists, then a non-delayed,three-pole "starting trip" can occur by triggering anappropriately configured binary signal input.

A trip command can be issued not only by the protectionfunction but also through a control parameter (address03 40) or an appropriately configured binary signal input,in which case it is issued for 100 ms.

The trip commands can be blocked by a control parameter(address 21 12) or an appropriately configured binarysignal input. The trip signals are not affected by the block.If trips are blocked this is indicated by a steady light atyellow LED indicator H3 on the local control panel and byoutput relay K8 if configured accordingly.

The phase-selective trip commands, the general tripcommand and the final trip are counted. The counterscan be reset either individually or as a group.

3.13 Operating Data Measurement

The PD 521 displays the following measured operatingdata:

� Phase currents for all three phases

� Ground current IN, which is either calculated from thethree phase currents or, if ground fault directiondetermination using steady state values is active, is thecurrent measured by the PD 521’s T4 transformer.

� Active or reactive current, determined by steady-statepower evalution (see Section “Ground Fault DirectionDetermination Using Steady-State Values”).

� Phase-to-ground and phase-to-phase voltages on theline side

� Neutral-point displacement voltage

� Filtered ground current IN, determined by steady-statecurrent evaluation (see Section “GF Evaluation(Ground Fault)“)

� Active and reactive power

� Active power factor

� Load angle � in all three phases

� Frequency

The measured values for current, voltage and power aredisplayed both as referred to the nominal quantities of thePD 521 and as primary quantities. In order for thesequantities to be displayed as primary values, the primarynominal current of the current transformer or the nominaltransformation ratio multiplied by the nominal devicecurrent and the primary nominal voltage of the voltagetransformer must be set in the PD 521.

The measured data are updated at 1 s intervals. Updatingis interrupted if a general starting state occurs.

The active and reactive power and the active power factorare determined when currents and voltages in all threephases are within the acceptable measuring range.

Current measuring range: 0.05 � Inom < I < 5 � Inom

Voltage measuring range: 0.1 � Vnom < V < 2 � Vnom

The load angles are only determined when the associatedphase current and the associated phase-to-ground voltage

are within the acceptable measuring ranges (see theranges given above).

If the values are outside the measuring ranges, a symbolfor “overrange” (-..-) is displayed. If values cannot beupdated or determined, a symbol for “value notdetermined” (....) appears.

3.14 Fault Recording

A fault exists and therefore fault recording begins if atleast one of the following signals is present:

� S T A R T : G e n e r a l s t a r t i n g (address 36 00)

� S T A R T : VN-G>> triggered, if the setting is yes for TriptVN-G>>

� M A I N : G e n e r a l t r i p s i g n a l (address 36 05)

� M A I N : G e n e r a l t r i p c o m m a n d(address 36 71)

� P S I G : R e c e i v e & g e n . s t a r t(address 37 29)

� F R E C : T r i g g e r

The faults are counted (address 04 20) and identified byserial number. In addition, the date of each fault is alsoassigned by the internal clock and stored. The internalclock also assigns the absolute time to a fault’s individualstart or end signals. The date and time assigned to a faultwhen the fault begins can be read out from the signalmemory on the local control panel or through the PC andILSA interfaces. The time information assigned to thesignals can be called up only through the PC or ILSAinterfaces.

The fault recordings are stored in non-volatile memory. 75 Fault counting and time tagging

The fault records can be erased in different ways. Thefollowing mechanisms are available:

� Automatic resetting of the fault signals indicated byLED indicators and of the measured fault datadisplayed at the appropriate addresses whenever anew fault occurs.

� Resetting of LED indicators and measured fault dataon the local control panel by pressing the reset key (R)on the panel.

� Area-specific resetting, such as only the signalmemory, for example, through addresses on the localcontrol panel or appropriately configured binary signalinputs.

� General reset.

In the first two cases listed above only the displays on thelocal control panel are cleared but not internal memoriessuch as the signal memory.

In the event of a cold restart, for example by control viaaddress 00 85, all stored signals and values will be lost.

3.14.1 Fault Logging

Protection signals during a fault, including the signalsduring the settable pre-fault and post-fault times, arelogged in chronological order with reference to the specificfault. A total of five faults, each involving a maximum of64 start or end signals, can be stored in a non-volatile ringmemory -- the signal memory. After five faults have beenlogged the oldest fault log will be overwritten, unless faultshave been erased in the interim. If more than 64 start orend signals have occurred during a single fault, then“Signal mem. overflow” (address 35 01) will be entered asthe last signal. If time and date are changed during thepre-fault time, the signal FREC: Faulty t ime tag isgenerated.

In addition to the fault signals, the measured fault data arealso entered in the signal memory.

The fault logs can be read on the local control panel orthrough the PC or ILSA interfaces.

77 Signal memory

3.14.2 Measured Fault Data

When there is a fault in the network the PD 521determines the following measured fault data:

� Operating time (duration)

� Fault current

� Fault voltage

� Fault impedance

� Fault reactance in percent of line reactance and in �

� Fault angle

� Fault distance

� Ground fault current

� Ground fault angle

The operating time is defined as the time between thestarting and ending of the general starting state generatedin the PD 521.

78 Operating time

Page 86: alstom pd521

3 Operation(continued)

78 89521-302/-303-401/-402-602 / AFSV.12.06470 EN

The fault must last for at least 60 ms so that the fault datacan be determined.

The fault data are determined using the measuredvariables Imeas and Vmeas selected by the distanceprotection function, if the fault is detected by distanceprotection. A phase current is selected as the fault currentin accordance with the selected measuring loop. In thecase of multi-phase starting this is the current of theleading phase in the cycle. If the measuring-circuit voltageVmeas < 200 mV, the set angle � is used to determine the

fault reactance. The set angle � is then also displayed asthe fault angle. The primary short-circuit reactance iscalculated from the per unit short-circuit reactance usingthe set primary nominal current and voltage transformerdata.

The ground fault data are only determined if a phase-to-ground loop has been selected for measurement by thedistance protection function. The geometric sum of thethree phase currents is displayed as the fault current. Theground fault angle is the phase displacement betweenground fault current and selected measuring voltage.

If the fault is detected by the backup overcurrent timeprotection function, then only the fault current can bedetermined. The maximum phase current is displayed.

The F L O C : S t a r t d e t e r m i n a t i o n settingdetermines the actual time during a fault when the faultdata are determined and whether output of fault locationshall take place. The following settings are possible:

� F L O C : S t a r t d e t e r m i n a t i o nFault endDetermination at the end of the fault. The measuredF L O C : F a u l t l o c a t i o n value is output.

� F L O C : S t a r t d e t e r m i n a t i o nFault end / trip during t1)Determination at the end of the fault. Output of themeasured “F L O C : F a u l t l o c a t i o n ” value onlyoccurs if a trip occurred in distance protection zone 1.

� F L O C : S t a r t d e t e r m i n a t i o nTrip or triggerDetermination when a trip starts or a correspondinglyconfigured signal input is triggered. Output of themeasured F L O C : F a u l t l o c a t i o n value onlyoccurs if a trip occurred or if the binary signal input wastriggered. If neither a trip was issued nor the binarysignal input was triggered, the fault values are stored atthe end of the general starting state. There is then nooutput of fault location.

In order for the fault location to be determined in percentof line length and in km, the value of the line reactance –100% of which corresponds to the line section beingmonitored – and the value of the corresponding line lengthin km must be set in the PD 521.

Fault current and voltage are displayed as per-unitquantities referred to Inom and Vnom. If the measured orcalculated values are outside the permissible measuringrange, the “overrange” indication (-..-) appears.

Permissible current measuring range: I � 100 � Inom

Permissible voltage measuring range: V � 2 � Vnom

In addition to the fault data, the following load data aredetermined upon dropout of distance protection starting:

� Load impedance

� Load angle

� Ground current

The same measuring loop used to determine faultimpedance is used to determine load impedance and loadangle. The load current and the voltage must exceed the

thresholds 0.1 � Inom and 0.1 � Vnom , respectively, in orderfor the load data to be determined. If the thresholds arenot reached or if distance protection starting does not lastas long as 60 ms, the symbol for “not measured” (....) isdisplayed.

After the reset key (R) on the local control panel ispressed, the symbol for “not measured” (....) is displayedat the respective addresses. However, the values are noterased and can continue to be read out through the PCand ILSA interfaces.

If the maximum recording time of 4.35 s (or 3.33 s) isexceeded, the analog values for the oldest fault areoverwritten, but not the binary values. If more than fivefaults have occurred since the last reset, then all data forthe oldest fault are overwritten.

Fault recording can also be started manually from thelocal control panel or externally through a binary signalinput.

The analog data of the fault record can only be read outthrough the PC or ILSA interfaces. When the analog dataare sampled the neutral displacement voltage VN-G iscalculated from the phase-to-ground voltages and theground current IN is calculated from the phase currents.

When the supply voltage is interrupted or after a warmrestart, the values of the last fault remain stored.

3.14.3 Fault Data Acquisition

The phase currents and the phase-to-ground voltages arerecorded before, during and after a fault. The times forrecording before and after the fault can be set. Amaximum time period of 4.35 s / 3.33 s (including the pre-fault and post-fault recording times) is available forrecording if the nominal frequency is 50 Hz / 60 Hz..

3.15 Self-Monitoring and Fault Diagnosis

Comprehensive monitoring routines in the PD 521distance protection device ensure that internal faults aredetected and do not lead to malfunctions of the protectionsystem.

After the supply voltage has been turned on, various testsare carried out to verify full operability of the PD 521. Thelocal control panel display shows which test is currentlybeing run. If the PD 521 detects a fault in one of the tests,then startup is terminated. The display shows which testwas running when termination occurred. No controlactions may be carried out. A new attempt to start up thePD 521 can only be initiated by turning the supply voltageoff and then on again.

After startup has been successfully completed, cyclic self-monitoring tests will be run during operation. In the eventof a positive test result, a specified monitoring signal willbe issued and stored in a non-volatile memory – themonitoring signal memory – along with the assigned dateand time. A listing of all possible entries in this monitoringsignal memory is given in the address list (see AppendixC). The memory depth allows for a maximum of 30entries. If more than 29 monitoring signals occur withoutinterim memory clearance, the M O N : M o n i t o r s i g .m e m o r y signal “Overflow” (address 90 12, value 9) isentered as the last entry.

If at least one entry is stored in the monitoring signalmemory, this fact is signaled by the red LED indicator H1on the local control panel. Each new entry is indicated bya flashing light. The combined signal for all warnings mayalso be issued via an output relay. The output relayresponds as long as an internal fault is detected.

82 “Warning” signal

The number of entries stored in the monitoring signalmemory can be determined by reading the M O N : N o .o f m o n . s i g n a l s counter (address 04 19). Themonitoring signal memory can only be cleared manuallyby a control action. Entries in the monitoring signalmemory are not cleared automatically even if thecorresponding test has a negative outcome in a new testcycle. The contents of the monitoring signal memory canbe read from the local control panel or through the PC orILSA interface. The time information assigned to theindividual entries can be retrieved via the PC or ILSAinterface only.

89521-302/-303-401/-402-602 / AFSV.12.06470 EN 83

The response of the PD 521 to monitoring signals takesone of the following forms depending on the signal.

� Signaling OnlyIf there is no malfunction associated with themonitoring signal, then only a signal is issued, andthere are no further consequences. This situationexists, for example, when internal data acquisitionmemories overflow.

� Selective BlockingIf a fault is diagnosed solely in an area that does notaffect the protective function, then only the affectedarea is blocked. This would apply, for example, to thedetection of a fault on the ILSA bus interface module orin the area of the PC interface.

� Warm RestartIf the self-monitoring function detects a fault that mightbe eliminated by a system restart, for example a faultin the hardware, then a procedure called a warmrestart is automatically initiated. During this procedure,as with any startup, the computer system is reset to adefined state. A warm restart is characterized by thefact that no stored data and, in particular, no settingparameters are affected by the procedure. A warmrestart can also be triggered manually by controlaction. During a warm restart sequence the protectivefunction and communication through serial interfaceswill be blocked. If the same fault is detected after awarm restart has been triggered by the self-monitoringsystem, then the protective function remains blockedbut communication through the serial interfaces willusually be possible again.

� Cold RestartIf a corrupted parameter subset is diagnosed in thechecksum test during self-monitoring, then a coldrestart is carried out. This is necessary because theprotection device cannot identify the corrupt parameterwithin the set. A cold restart has the result that allinternal memories are returned to a defined state.After a cold restart, this means that all settings of theprotection device have been discarded. The defaultsettings as found in the address list in the columnheaded “Default” apply instead (see Appendix C). Inorder to establish a safe initial state, the default valueshave been selected so that the protective function isblocked. Both the monitoring signal that triggered thecold restart and the value indicating parameter loss(address 90 28) are entered in the monitoring signalmemory.

If the protective function is blocked, the condition issignaled with a steady light by the yellow LED indicator H3on the local control panel or, if desired, via an output relayconfigured accordingly.

84 “Blocked/faulty” signal

3.16 Serial Interfaces

The PD 521 has a PC interface as standard component.The ILSA interface is optional. Both interfaces allowsetting and readout.

When tests are run on the PD 521 it is advisable toactivate the test mode (address 03 12 or binary signalinput) so that the PC or the control system evaluates allincoming signals accordingly.

In order for data transfer to function properly, severalsettings must be made at the PD 521.

The ILSA interface can be blocked through a binary signalinput. Moreover, a signal or measured-data blocking canalso be imposed via a binary signal input.

The PD 521 is mounted in an aluminium case.Connection is via threaded terminal ends. The case issuitable for either wall surface or flush panel mounting.The angle brackets and connector blocks are adjustablefor mounting in the chosen configuration.

Figures 88 and 89 show the case dimensions and fixturepositions. For flush mounting, a cover frame is available(see Installation and Connection).

Regardless of the design version, the PD 521 – as theother device types of the ILS-P system – is equipped witha standard local control panel. In order to protect thedevice according to the specified degree of protection, thelocal control panel is covered with a tough film. In additionto the essential control and indication elements, a paralleldisplay consisting of a total of 8 LED indicators is alsoincorporated into the local control panel. The meaning ofthe various displays is shown in plain text on a label strip.

The label strip is located in a pocket accessible from therear of the front panel. It can be replaced by user-specificlabels. A further label strip lists the addresses foroperation-related protection information and can also bereplaced by a strip with customized labeling. Theprocessor module with the local control module isattached to the reverse side of the removable front plateand connected to the I/O module via a ribbon cable.The I/O module incorporates the power supply, the inputtransformers and the power supply converters as well aseight output relays and two optical couplers for binarysignals.

The serial interface -X6 for parameter setting via a PC isset into the front panel.The optional ILSA interface -X7 and -X8 or -X9 (Orderextension number -302 and up) is located on theunderside of the case.

5.5 Protective and System Grounding

The device case must be reliably grounded for reasons ofprotective equipment grounding. This grounding step isalso absolutely essential for proper operation of the deviceand is thus equivalent to system grounding. Potentials thatneed to be grounded from an operational standpoint arealready properly connected to the equipment groundinside the unit.

Holes for the grounding connection are located in the twomounting brackets of the PD 521 and are labeledaccordingly.

A ground connection assembly kit is supplied with the unit.The ground connection must be assembled as shown inFigure 95.

Grounding must be low-inductance.

5.6 Connection

5.6.1 Measuring and Auxiliary Circuits

Connect the PD 521 in accordance with the terminalconnection diagram specified on the type identificationlabel. The terminal connection diagram is included in theSupporting Documents supplied with the unit and is alsogiven in Appendix E of this manual.

Copper leads having a 2.5 mm2 cross-section aregenerally suitable as connecting leads between thecurrent transformers and the PD 521. Under certainconditions the connecting leads between the main currenttransformers and the PD 521 must be short and have alarger cross-section in order to handle the permissibleburden on the main current transformers. Copper leadshaving a 1.5 mm2 cross-section are sufficient for thebinary signal inputs, voltage inputs, the signaling andtriggering circuits, and for the power supply input.

As a general principle, all connections run into the systemmust have a defined potential. Pre-wired connections thatare not used must be grounded.

Connecting the Measuring Circuits ofDistance Protection

The current and voltage transformers must be connectedto the protection device in accordance with the standardschematic diagram shown in Figure 96. The default andfactory setting of the protection device is based on thiscurrent transformer connection scheme (“line-sidegrounding“). Connection of the current transformers inopposition (“busbar-side grounding“) can be taken intoaccount when making the settings (see Section 7).

The PD 521 is always equipped with four current inputs.

Connecting Protective Signaling

Depending on the operating mode selected, either a signaltransmission device or pilot wires are required for signaltransmission. Transposed lines should be used for thepilot wires. Two or four lines are required. If only twolines are available, there must be an all-or-nothing relay ineach station for coupling received and transmitted signals.

The coils of the all-or-nothing relays must be designed forhalf the loop voltage. Figure 97 shows the connection withtwo lines and Figure 98 the connection with four lines.The protective signaling transmitting relay can be set toTransm. relay break contact or Transm. relay makecontact. In the first case the break contact must be wiredand in the second case the make contact. The figuresshow the connection for the setting Transm. relay breakcontact (K1 and K2 are shown in the de-energized state).

In addition, the PD 521 can also function together with theSV 35A protective signaling system or the V 34comparator relay if care is taken to ensure that at least apilot wire current of 10 mA is flowing.

Connecting Steady-State Ground Fault DirectionDetermination

If the PD 521 is to function using ground fault directiondetermination by steady-state values, then the currenttransformer T4 must be connected to a window-typecurrent transformer or a current transformer in Holmgreenconfiguration. If the metal sheath of the cable is ledthrough the window-type transformer, then the overheadground wire must be led (insulated) through the core againbefore it is connected to ground. The cable sealing endmust be attached so that it is insulated from ground. Inthis way any currents flowing through the sheath will notaffect measurement.

For ground fault direction determination by steady-statevalues, the neutral-point displacement voltage - formedfrom the three phase-to-ground voltages - and the groundcurrent are required as measured variables. Figure 99shows the standard connection of ground fault directiondetermination by steady-state values. For this connection“forward/LS“ is displayed if a ground fault occurs on theline side. A different connection scheme for the currenttransformer can be allowed for by making the appropriatesetting (see Chapter 7).

Connecting the Auxiliary Voltage

Before connecting the auxiliary voltage VA for thePD 521 power supply, make sure that the nominal value ofthe auxiliary device voltage agrees with the nominal valueof the auxiliary system voltage.

Polarity reversal protection is provided in the form of arectifier bridge. To preserve uniformity with otherprotection devices (L+ on terminal with smaller number),L+ should therefore be connected to terminal 13. ThePD 521 has an auxiliary voltage supply that can beswitched between ranges and is factory-set for the voltagerange of VA,nom = 110 to 250 V DC or 100 to 230 V AC.

Before changing the auxiliary voltagerange, turn off any connected auxiliaryvoltage. The components locatedbehind the front panel are energized!

The voltage range is switched by repositioning plug-injumpers on the I / O (input / output) module. Afterloosening four bolts on the front side of the front panel, thelocal control module (front panel and processor module)can be removed once the following plugs have beenremoved first:

� The tab connector on the case

� The tab connector on the lower circuit board(I/O module)

� The ribbon cable connecting the local control module(front panel and processor module) with the I/O module

� The ribbon cable connecting the local control modulewith the optional ILSA interface (to fiber optics or towire)

Where possible, disconnection of theribbon cable between the processormodule and the I/O module should beavoided. Should disconnection haveoccurred, however, then the deviceneeds to be re-initialized by way of acold restart.

In the upper portion of the I / O module, between outputrelay and current input transformers, are plug-in jumpers,which are plugged in as shown as follows, depending onthe desired auxiliary voltage range.

100 Plug-in jumpers positioned for an auxiliary voltage of 110 to 250 VDC or 100 to 230 V AC (view from component side)

101 Plug-in jumpers positioned for an auxiliary voltage of 24 to 60 VDC (view from component side)

5.6.2 Binary Control Inputs

Before connecting the control voltage Vin,nom for the binaryinputs in the PD 521, check to see whether the controlvoltage Vin,nom is within the operating range of 24 V DC to250 V DC. Polarity reversal protection is provided in theform of a rectifier bridge.

5.6.3 Tripping and Signaling Circuits

The freely configurable output relays and their connectionsare shown in the terminal connection diagram. The outputrelays are suitable both for tripping and signalingpurposes.

5.6.4 PC Interface

The PC interface is provided so that PS 441 parameterscan be assigned from a personal computer (PC). Thespecial connection cable available as an accessory is theonly type of PC connection that may be used.

The PC interface is not intended for permanentconnection. Consequently the socket does nothave the extra insulation from circuitsconnected to the system that is required perVDE 0106 Part 101. Therefore whenconnecting the connection cable make surethat you do not touch the socket contacts.

After completing device control (parameter setting) via thePC, disconnect the PC connection cable on the interfacesocket to restore the specified degree of deviceprotection.

5.6.5 ILSA Interface

The ILSA interface is provided for stationary linking of theprotection device to a control system for substations or toa central substation unit. Connection is - dependeing onthe design of the ILSA interface - via a special connectorwith a fiber-optic conductor or via an RS 485 interface withtwisted copper wires.

The selection and assembly of an appropriately cut opticalfiber connecting cable requires special knowledge andexpertise and is therefore not covered by this operatingmanual.

Before connecting or removing the fiber-opticinterface, the supply voltage of the protectiondevice must be switched off.

Connection of the RS 485 interface to other devices is viaa 2-pole twisted conductor cable. For further guidelineson connecting the ILSA interface, please see the manualBus Technology in Integrated Protection and ControlSystems for Substations (ILS).

All data required for operation of the protection device areentered from the local control panel, and the dataimportant for system management are read out there aswell. The local control panel permits the following specificfunctions:

� Readout and modification of settings

� Readout of updated measured operating data andstate signals as well as stored monitoring signals

� Readout and resetting of counters

� Resetting of the parallel display (LEDs) and othercontrol functions for testing and startup

Control is also possible from the PC interface. In that casethe FPC control program is required, along with a specialconnection cable (see chapter 13 “Accessories and SpareParts”) and a suitable PC.

6.1 Display and Keyboard

The local control panel consists of two 4-digit, 7-segmentdisplays, six function keys and 12 LED indicators.

The settings, signals and measured values are numerical-ly coded. This code is called the address and is displayedin the lower of the two 7-segment displays on the localcontrol panel. The value associated with the address isdisplayed in the upper 7-segment display.

� ValueThe value of the information or parameter just selectedis displayed.

� AddressThe address of the information or parameter justselected is displayed.

� “Up” and “Down” KeysAddresses can be selected, parameter valueschanged and event records read out by pressing the“up” and “down” keys.

Address Selection:

In the normal addressing mode, the two pairs of keysare decoupled from one another and affect theaddress display. The x coordinate of the addressbeing selected can be set using the left pair of keys,and the y coordinate can be set using the right pair ofkeys. The respective coordinate can be incrementedby pressing the “up” key and decremented by pressingthe “down” key.

Changing Parameter Values:

Parameter values can only be changed in the inputmode, which is signaled by the red LED indicator onthe enter key (E). In the input mode the two pairs of“up” and “down” keys are generally coupled and havethe same effect on the value display. The system runsthrough a value range, which is defined separa- telyfor each address together with the incrementation(see “Address List” in the appendix). The next highervalue is obtained by pressing the “up” key, and thenext lower value by pressing the “down” key.

Event Record Readout:

Readout of event records is possible after theappropriate memory has been accessed; this issignaled by the red LED indicator on the enter key (E).In this control mode the two pairs of “up” and “down”keys have different functions.

� EnterTo enter the input mode, press enter key (E). Press asecond time to leave the input mode. Activation of theinput mode is signaled by the red LED indicator on theenter key (E).

� ResetThe LED indicators can be reset by pressing the resetkey (R). The event records are not affected and remainin the event memories. Other functions of the reset keyinclude deactivation of the input mode (with no furtherconsequences) and keyboard locking.

The following diagrams of the individual control stepsindicate which specific display can be changed bypressing the “up” or “down” keys. A solid black dot in theupper left corner of the enter key indicates that the redLED indicator is lit up. The addresses used in theexamples below are not necessarily valid for the PD 521;they serve to illustrate the principles of local control.

6.2 Address Selection

Addresses are selected by pressing the two pairs of “up”and “down” keys. As long as the keys are being pressed,the value display remains dark. Approximately 1 secondafter the keys are released the value associated with theselected address will appear in the value display. Inprinciple, any address in the entire address range from00 00 to 99 99 can be selected. If, however, an address isselected that is not used in the PD 521, the value displaywill remain dark. The existence of entries in the signal ormonitoring signal memories is indicated during operation.This is indicated by the fact that while the “up” and “down”keys are being pressed the value display does not remaindark; instead, the following messages are displayed:

� "L..." if there is information in the signal memory

� "...E" if there is information in the monitoring signalmemory

If “L” and/or “E” still remain in the value display 1 secondafter the “up” and “down” keys have been released, thenthere is no information stored for that particular address.

6.3 Change-Enabling Function

Although it is possible to select any address and read theassociated value by pressing the “up” and “down” keys, itis not possible to switch directly to the input mode. Thissafeguard prevents unwanted changes in the protectivesetting. If the protective setting is to be changed, thechange-enabling function (address 03 10) must first beactivated. The change-enabling function is naturally theonly parameter that can be changed when the change-enabling function itself is not activated.

To prevent the change-enabling function from accidentallyremaining active after a protective setting has beenchanged, the enabling function is automatically canceled100 sec after the last key has been pressed (or once thereturn time set at address 03 14 has elapsed). Theaddress display immediately jumps to the settable returnaddress (set at address 03 13). The factory-set returnaddress is the address for the change-enabling function.The return time is restarted when any of the six controlkeys is pressed.

Even when the change-enabling function is activated, notall parameters can be changed. For many settings it isalso necessary to deactivate the protective function(address 03 30). Such settings include, for example, theconfiguration parameters by means of which the deviceinterfaces can be adapted to the system. The followingentries in the “Change” column of the address list (seeAppendix C) indicate whether values can be changed ornot:

� "on": The value can be changed even when the protective function is enabled.

� "off": The value can be changed provided that the protective function has been disabled.

� "-": The value cannot be modified by control action.

When the change-enabling function is activated, theprotective function can be deactivated from address 03 30by setting the value to “0.” The protection device is factory-set so that the protective function is deactivated.

6.6 Resetting

All information memories – particularly the signal andmonitoring signal memories – and LED indicators can bereset manually. In addition, the LED indicators areautomatically cleared and reset at the start of a new faultso that they always display the last fault.

The user can also reset the LED indicators manually bypressing the reset key; this is always possible when thedevice is in the normal control mode. It always triggers anLED indicator test. The signal memory is not affected bythis process so that accidental erasing of the fault recordassociated with the reset signal pattern is reliablyprevented.

Because of the signal memory’s ring structure theinformation in this memory is automatically updated forfive consecutive events, so that in principle a manual resetwould not be necessary. However, if the signal memoryshould need to be cleared completely – after functiontests, for example – this can be done via thecorresponding reset address.

The PD 521 distance protection device must be adjustedto the system and to the protected equipment by means ofappropriate settings. This section gives instructions fordetermining the proper settings.

The address list in the Appendix lists all parameters withtheir setting ranges and incrementation or selection tables.The Set Value Record Sheets in the Appendix make itpossible to keep a complete and well-organized record ofall settings.

The units are supplied with a factory-set configuration ofsettings that in most cases correspond to the “defaultsetting” given in the address list. If the factory settingsdiffer from the default settings, then this is indicated belowat the appropriate points.

The default settings given in the address list are activatedafter a cold restart. All settings must be re-entered after acold restart.

7.1 Device Identification

The device identification settings are used to record theordering information and the design version of theprotection device. They have no effect on the protectivefunction. These settings should only be changed if thedesign version of the protection device is modified.

A“0” setting means “Locking not possible,” anda setting of “1” means “Locking possible”. Thekeyboard is then locked by pressing the R keytwice at any address.

03 12 PC/ILSA: Test mode USER Fig. 85When the test mode is activated signals ormeasured data for PC and ILSA are identifiedas “test mode”. One of the procedures thatdemand activation of the test mode is thetesting of the output relays via the integratedlocal control panel.

03 13 LOC: Autom. return addr.The address to which the display will returnafter the automatic return time has elapsed isset here. Thus the units will display well-defined information during operation.

03 14 LOC: Autom. return timeIf no key on the local control panel is pressedduring this set time, the following will occurautomatically:

� The display returns to the address definedunder 03 13

� The change-enabling function is canceled.

This ensures that the change-enablingfunction will not remain inadvertently activatedover a long period of time. The keyboard isnot automatically locked.

7.2.2 Binary Inputs

The PD 521 has two optical coupler inputs for processingbinary signals from the system. The connection schemefor the binary inputs is shown in the terminal connectiondiagrams. The address list gives information about theconfiguration options for all binary inputs (seeAppendix C).

When configuring binary inputs it is essential to ensurethat the same information cannot be processed by twobinary signal inputs. This means that a given function canonly be assigned to one binary signal input and not toboth.

A standard setting that differs from the “default setting”given in the address list has been factory-set. The factorysetting is given in the terminal connection diagrams in theSupporting Documents supplied with each device and alsoin Appendix E of this manual.

In order to ensure that the protection device will recognizethe input signals, the triggering signals must persist for atleast as long as the time periods given in the followingtable.

PreparationAfter the PD 521 has been installed and connected inaccordance with Chapter 5, the commissioning procedurecan begin.

Before turning on the power supply voltage, the followingitems must be checked again:

� Is the protection device connected to the protectiveground at the specified location?

� Does the nominal value of the auxiliary device voltageVA,nom agree with the nominal value of the auxiliarysystem voltage?

� Does the nominal value of the device control voltageVin,nom agree with the nominal value of the systemcontrol voltage?

� Are the current and voltage transformer connections,grounding and phase sequence correct?

After the wiring work is completed, check the system tomake sure it is properly isolated. The conditions given inVDE 0100 must be satisfied.

Once all checks have been made, the power supplyvoltage may be turned on. After voltage has been applied,the protection device starts up. During startup variousstartup tests are carried out (see Section 3.18, "Self-Monitoring"). The LED indicators for "Operation" (H2) and"Blocked/Faulty" (H3) light up. After approximately 11 sthe PD 521 is ready for operation. This is indicated whenthe display changes from address 99 00 to the presetaddress (factory-set default: 03 10).

In as-received condition the keyboard is not locked.Therefore all settings can be made after the changeenabling command (address 03 10) has been issued. Theprocedure for entering settings from the integrated localcontrol panel is described in Chapter 6.

If the protection device is to be set and fault records readout through the PC or ILSA interface, then the followingsettings must first be made from the integrated localcontrol panel. (These settings are only possible from thelocal control panel.)

After the settings have been made, the following checksshould be carried out once again:

� Does the function assignment of the binary signalinputs agree with the terminal connection diagram?

� Has the correct operating mode been selected for thebinary signal inputs?

� Does the function assignment of the output relaysagree with the terminal connection plan?

� Have all settings been made correctly?

Now the blocks at the following addresses can be cleared:

� Address 03 30: M A I N : P r o t e c t i o n a c t i v e "on".

� Address 21 12: MAIN: T r i p c m d . b l o c k U S E R .

TestingBy using the signals and displays generated by thePD 521 it is possible to determine whether the PD 521 iscorrectly set and properly interconnected with the station.Signals are signaled by output relays and LED indicatorsand entered into the signal memory. In addition, thesignals can be checked by selecting the appropriate signaladdresses.

If the circuit breaker will not be operated during testing,the trip command can be blocked through address 21 12or an appropriately configured binary signal input. If a testof the circuit breaker is desired, it is possible to issue a tripcommand for 100 ms through address 03 40 or anappropriately configured binary signal input. Selection ofthe trip command from the integrated local control panel ispassword-protected (see Section 6.7, "Password-Protected Control Operations").

If the PD 521 is connected to a control station it isadvisable to activate the test mode via address 03 12 oran appropriately configured binary signal input. Themessages are then identified accordingly (reason fortransmission: test mode).

Checking the Binary Signal InputsWhen the binary signal inputs are configured for theappropriate signals, then it is possible to determine fromthe signals (see Section 8.2) whether the protection devicerecognizes the binary signals correctly.

� Address 54 00: display of the current state of binarysignal input U1

� Address 54 03: display of the current state of binarysignal input U2

The displayed values have the following meanings:

� Value of "0": Not energized.

� Value of "1": Energized.

This display appears regardless of the binary signal inputmode selected.

Checking the Output Relays

It is possible to trigger the output relays for a settable timeperiod for test purposes (time setting at address 03 44).First set value „1“ at address 03 12 (PC/ILSA: Testmode USER), then select the output relay to be tested(address 03 42). Test triggering then occurs throughaddress 03 43. It is password-protected (see Chapter 6,Section "Password-Protected Control Operations").

Checking the Protective Function

Checking Distance ProtectionWhen checking distance protection with a single-phasetest device, the measuring circuit monitoring functionshould be deactivated (address 14 01) since it wouldotherwise always operate and thus block distanceprotection after approximately 10 s. If the signal M A I N :M . c . b . t r i p V L S E X T is assigned to a binary signalinput then the latter must have a logic value of "0."

Checking the Fault Detection LogicThe fault detection settings can be illustrated in a V-Idiagram (see Figure 104). The slope of the impedanceline plotted in the V-I diagram is a function of the settingsfor underimpedance fault detection logic and the phasedisplacement between the measured variables (seeFigure 104).

103 Example of the fault detection settings in a V-I diagram

Checking I> (IN), V< and I>>:The phase displacement between the measured variablesV and I should be selected so as to be smaller than theset angle “START: � . ”

Checking Z<:The phase displacement between the measured variablesV and I should be selected so as to be greater than the setangle START: � .

Checking the Voltage MemoryIn certain cases the voltage stored by the voltage memoryis used for direction determination. If the voltage memoryis to be tested using a single-phase test device, checkingshould only be done for an A-B fault.

The voltage memory is enabled if the following twoconditions are satisfied:

� Voltage V 0 5 VA B nom� �.6 .

� The frequency is in the range 0 99 101. .� � � �f f fnom nom.

With starting the voltage memory is decoupled from thesynchronizing voltage (VA-B), and the stored voltage canbe used for directional measurement for 2 s maximum.

The PD 521 determines, on the basis of the magnitude ofthe fault voltage, whether the direction will be determinedusing the fault voltage, the stored voltage or the setangle � (D I S T : � ). The following possibilities exist:

Angle for Direction Determination with:

Voltagememory

0.002 V V 0.15 Vnom meas nom� � � � V 0.002 Vmeas nom� �

Enabled �X �X

Not enabled �F �

�X: angle determined using the stored voltage

�F: angle determined using the selected measured variables

Vmeas: selected measuring voltage

The method by which �X is determined is described inChapter 3, Section "Distance and DirectionalMeasurement."

Whether connection of the distance protection function tothe system’s current and voltage transformers involves thecorrect phase can be checked using the operating datadisplays for load angle (addresses 04 55 to 04 57). Theload angles for all three phases must be approximatelyequal. The load angles are only determined if at least 5%of the nominal device current is flowing.

Checking Measuring Circuit MonitoringBoth the current and voltage measuring circuits aremonitored. Operation of the monitoring functions can beobserved by selecting addresses 37 20 (operation ofcurrent or voltage monitoring) or 38 23 (operation ofvoltage monitoring). The monitoring signals can also beentered into the monitoring signal memory and identifiedby reading out the monitoring signal memory.

Monitoring of current-measuring circuits functions only if0.125 � Inom flows in at least one phase. The PD 521determines from the three phase currents the absolutevalue of the negative-sequence component, which iscalculated according to the following formula:

� �I 13

For the operate conditions that means:

Therefore operation of current measuring circuitmonitoring with single-phase test current is only possible ifthe threshold operate value is set smaller than 0.333.

Therefore operation of current measuring circuitmonitoring with a two-phase test current in phaseopposition is only possible if the threshold operate value isset smaller than 0.577.

If the threshold operate value satisfies the respectivecondition, then current measuring circuit monitoringoperates with a test current greater than 0.125 Inom afterthe operate delay of 10.1 s has elapsed.

Checking Backup Overcurrent Time ProtectionThe switch to backup overcurrent time protection (BUOC)— if it has been appropriately set — is brought about bymeasuring circuit monitoring or the tripping of the voltagetransformer miniature circuit breaker on the line side.

If the current exceeds the set threshold operate valueBUOC: I > , then starting occurs in the correspondingphase(s). After the set time delay B U O C : t I > haselapsed, the PD 521 trips. If M A I N : N e u t r a l p o i n tt r e a t ( m e n t ) is set to "Low-impedance-grounding“,then an SN start occurs if the residual current INcalculated by the PD 521 exceeds the set thresholdB U O C : I N > . After the set time delay B U O C : t I N >has elapsed, the PD 521 trips.

The PD 521 calculates the residual current IN according tothe following formula:

I I I IN A B C� � �

From this we obtain in the case of a single-phase test (forexample, IB = IC = 0) a test current of

I I Itest N nom� � �

at which the operate threshold BUOC: I N > is reached.

If the PD 521 is operating with protective signaling orARC, tripping of the backup overcurrent time protectionproceeds after the corresponding tripping times haveelapsed.

Checking Protective SignalingThe protective signaling function can only be checked ifprotective signaling is ready. This is displayed at address37 27 (P S I G : R e a d y).

If protective signaling is not ready, this may be caused bythe following reasons:

� Protective signaling is not activated. This can bechecked at address 15 04 P S I G : E n a b l e dU S E R . (The address is set to "0".)

� Protective signaling has been blocked by triggering acorrespondingly configured binary signal input(P S I G : B l o c k i n g E X T , address 36 49).

� A fault has been detected in the communicationschannel. (This can be checked at address 36 60.)

If the conditions for testing are satisfied, it is possible togenerate a send signal for test purposes from theintegrated local control panel (address 15 09) or bytriggering a correspondingly configured binary signal input(P S I G : T e s t t e l e c o m . E X T ). This pulse will bepresent for 500 ms and is extended for the set reset time.If the “with echo" setting has been selected in theprotection device at the remote station, then the receivedsignal is returned. The "with echo" setting is only active inthe following protective signaling operating modes:

� PUTT (permissive underreaching transfer tripping)

� Zone extension

� Signal comparison release scheme

� Signal comparison blocking scheme

The possibility for testing does not exist ifP S I G : O p e r a t i n g m o d e has been set forDirect transfer trip underreaching.

Checking Steady-State Ground Fault DirectionDeterminationIf both the ground current and the neutral-pointdisplacement voltage formed from the three phase-to-ground voltages are available as measured variables, thePD 521 determines the ground fault direction throughevaluation of the ground fault using steady-state values.Switching between steady-state power evaluation andsteady-state current evaluation is done from the integratedlocal control panel or by triggering an appropriatelyconfigured binary signal input.

If allowed by system operation, a ground fault can beclosed on the busbar side (BS) or the line side (LS). ThePD 521 must then transmit the corresponding signals.However, a requirement is that the set thresholds forground current (G F D S S : I N , a c t > / I N , r e a c > B S orL S ) and for the neutral-point displacement voltage(G F D S S : V N - G > ) are exceeded.

Because of the danger of a double ground fault, a functiontest involving the closing of a ground fault will not bepossible in most cases. In these cases the current andvoltage transformers in the system can be connected sothat a function test is possible without a ground fault.

The ground current measured by the PD 521 and theneutral-point displacement voltage are displayed asoperating data in primary quantities and referred to thenominal quantities of the protection device (seeAppendix C, "Measured Operating Data").

Auxiliary Circuit in Resonant-Grounded Systems

First the fuse in phase A of the voltage transformer isremoved and the associated secondary side is short-circuited (see Figures 107 and 108). As a result adisplacement voltage VN-G is obtained whose magnitudeis smaller by a factor of 3 than that of the displacementvoltage in the case of a dead fault to ground.

If the current is measured in a Holmgreen group then thecurrent transformer in A on the secondary side must bedisconnected and short-circuited (see Figure 107).

Listed below are several conceivable problems, theircauses, and possible methods for eliminating them. Thissection is intended as a general orientation only, and incases of doubt it is better to return the PD 521 to themanufacturer. In such cases the packaging instructions inthe “Unpacking and Packing” section of Chapter 5 mustbe followed.

Malfunctioning after Connection to the System:

� The 7-segment displays do not light up.

� Check to see whether there is supply voltage at theequipment connection points.

� Check to see whether the magnitude of the auxiliaryvoltage is correct. The PD 521 is protected againstdamage resulting from polarity reversal.

Turn off the power supply voltage beforecarrying out further checks. Componentsbehind the front panel are energized.

� Check to see whether the ribbon cable betweeninput-output module and processor board isplugged in. (To do so, remove the front panel.)

Where possible, disconnection of the ribboncable between the processor module and theI/O module should be avoided. Shoulddisconnection have occurred, however, thenthe device needs to be re-initialized by way ofa cold restart.

� Check to see whether fuse F1 (type M1C) on thelower printed circuit board (I/O module) is OK.

If the fuse is defective it should not be replacedwithout first determining the cause of failure. If afuse is replaced without eliminating the problem,there is danger that the damage will spread.

The PD 521 is a low-maintenance device. Thecomponents used in the units are selected so that theymeet exacting requirements. Recalibration is notnecessary.

The PD 521 is equipped with a lithium battery for non-volatile storage of event data and for continued operationof the internal clock in the event of a failure of auxiliaryvoltage. Loss of capacity due to module-internal self-discharging amounts to less than 1% per year over aperiod of availability of 10 years. Since the terminalvoltage remains virtually constant until capacity isexhausted, usefulness is maintained until a very lowresidual capacity is reached. Given a nominal capacity of800 mAh and discharge currents of only a few �A duringdevice storage and/or in the range of the self-dischargecurrent during device operation, a correspondingly longservice life results. It is therefore recommended that thelithium battery only be replaced after a period of about tenyears.

The lithium battery can be replaced without soldering.Maintenance work may only be carried out by trainedpersonnel with the auxiliary voltage turned off.

The lithium battery is located on the input-output module.

Components located behind the front panel areenergized. Turn off the power supply voltagebefore opening the unit.

After loosening four bolts on the front side of the frontpanel, the local control module (front panel and processormodule) can be removed once the following plugs havebeen removed first:

� The tab connector on the case

� The tab connector on the lower circuit board(I/O module)

� The ribbon cable connecting the local control module(front panel and processor module) with the I/O module

� The ribbon cable connecting the local control modulewith the optional ILSA interface (-X7 and -X8 or -X9)

Check the position of the connector. Do not allow theconnecting cable to kink.

Where possible, disconnection of the ribboncable between the processor module and theI/O module should be avoided. Shoulddisconnection have occurred, however, thenthe device needs to be re-initialized by wayof a cold restart.

The PD 521 is used as a safety device and must thereforebe routinely checked for proper operation. It isrecommended that the first functional test be carried outafter about 6 to 12 months. Additional functional testsshould be carried out at intervals of about 2 to 3 years –4 years at the maximum.

Routine Functional Testing

The PD 521 digital protection device incorporates in itssystem a very extensive self-monitoring function forhardware and software. The internal structureguarantees, for example, that communication within theprocessor system will be checked on a continuing basis.

Nonetheless, there are a number of subfunctions thatcannot be checked by the self-monitoring feature withoutrunning a test from the device terminals. The respectivedevice-specific properties and setting parameters must beobserved in such cases.

In particular, none of the control and signaling circuits runto the device from the outside are checked by the self-monitoring function.

Analog Input Circuits

Within the PD 521 an analog-digital converter is used toconvert analog measured variables. However, aninstrument transformer, filter, analog multiplexer and1/16 amplifier are also incorporated in each singlemeasuring channel so that a test from the deviceterminals is required in order to verify proper functioning.The supply voltages are monitored continuously.

In conjunction with self-monitoring, moreover, themeasuring circuit monitoring feature integrated into theprotection function can in many cases exhibit a highersensitivity and thus detect additional deviations, dependingon the parameter assignment.

A static test of the analog input circuits is best carried outby operating data measurement of the primary measuredoperating data or by using a suitable testing device. A“small” measured value (in the current path the nominalcurrent, for example) and a “large” measured value (in thevoltage circuit the nominal voltage, for example) should beused to check the effective range of the A/D converter. Inthis way the total modulation range is checked, includinggain change-overs. The gain change-over occurs at amodulation of 1/16 of full scale. In the distance protectionfunction this would be at approximately 6 � Inom in thecurrent path where full modulation is 100 � Inom , and in thevoltage path it would be at approximately 6 V phase-to-ground voltage at the device terminals.

A check of the change-over point of gain change-over ishardly possible since the latter is determined by thehardware configuration. The only indication lies in achange in the measurement resolution. In the currentpath we obtain quantization levels of approximately0 006. � Inom in the lower range and 0 1. � Inom in the upperrange.

The accuracy of operating data measurement is <3%. Animportant factor in evaluating device performance is thelong-term performance as determined from comparisonwith previous measurements.

In addition, a dynamic test can be used to check theresponse and phase relation of the current transformersand the anti-aliasing filter. This is best done by calibratingthe trigger point of the first zone for a two-phaseungrounded fault. The fault current should bedimensioned so that with the set impedance a loopvoltage of approximately 2 V results at the deviceterminals. In addition, a suitable testing device should beused that displays the two-phase ungrounded faultcorrectly.

This dynamic test is not absolutely necessary since it onlychecks the stability of a very few passive components. Onthe basis of reliability analysis one can expect statisticallythat in 10 years in 1000 devices only one component willbe outside the tolerance zone.

Additional testing in the analog area, such as for theimpedance or starting characteristics, is not necessary inour opinion since complete digital processing of thisinformation is carried out on the basis of the measuredanalog current and voltage values. Proper operation willhave been demonstrated in conjunction with the type test.

The function ‘ground fault direction determination usingsteady-state values’ can be checked in a similar way, thatis by means of operating data measurement and a testdevice.

Binary Inputs

The binary inputs are not checked in conjunction with self-monitoring. Therefore a test function is integrated into thedevice software so that the control state of the individualinput can be read out at a matrix point address (54 00 and54 03), where "0" is “low” (not triggered) and "1" is “high”(triggered). This check should be performed for eachinput being used, and if necessary it can be done withoutdisconnecting the unit wiring.

Binary Outputs

There is no monitoring function for the external contactcircuit. In this case triggering of the all-or-nothing relaysmust be initiated either by protection functions or byintegrated test functions. For these testing purposes,control of the output circuits is integrated into the softwareby way of a special control function (address 03 43).Additionally, a test function is integrated into the unitsoftware so that the control state of the individual outputrelay can be read out at a matrix point address (51 00 andup): "0" means that the output relay is inactive and "1"means that the output relay is active.

Serial Interface

The integrated self-monitoring function of the PC interfaceincludes the communications module (UART). The entirecommunications system, including the interconnection andany fiber-optic module, is always completely monitored aslong as a link has been created by the FPC program orthe ILSA protocol.

Other Internal Functions

� Timer StagesAll timer stages in the digital protection device arederived from the precision clock pulse of themicroprocessor. The oscillators have a maximumerror of < � 100 ppm. This means that a timer stage of10 s has a maximum error of 1 ms. For this reason, itis not possible to check the accuracy of the timerstages by functional testing, since the scatter of thestarting and measuring times is greater than this error.

However, the processor clock frequency is checked inconnection with a rough monitoring routine duringstartup of the protection device so that it is possible todetect complete failures. In this check during systemstart the clock frequency of the microprocessor moduleis compared with the setpoint values specified for theunit.

� Power Supply UnitIn the area of system monitoring there is a check forthe presence of internal voltages. The internaloperating voltages used in normal operation haveapproximately 50% of their maximum operational load.

The PD 521 is supplied with standard labeling. User-specific labeling can be written onto the reverse side ofthe label strips or onto blank strips available asaccessories. The label strips can be accessed from therear of the front panel.

Turn off any auxiliary voltage before replacing thelabel strips. Components located behind thefront panel are energized.

After four bolts on the front panel face are loosened andthe tab connector (internal grounding) is detached fromthe rear of the front panel, it is possible to remove thelocal control module (front panel and processor module),which is connected to the input-output module by a plug-inribbon cable. The label strip can be removed or insertedfrom the bottom of the rear of the front panel.

Before mounting the front panel, the tabconnector of the grounding cable must beinserted on the rear of the front panel.

Where possible, disconnection of the ribboncable between the processor module and theI/O module should be avoided. Shoulddisconnection have occurred, however, then thedevice needs to be re-initialized by way of a coldrestart.

Labeling can be applied to the label strips by one of thefollowing methods:

� Overhead projector pen, waterproof type, for example,"Stabilo" brand pen, OH Pen 196 PS.

A 2 Symbols

Graphic symbols for block diagramsBinary elementsaccording to DIN 40900 Part 12, September 1992,IEC 617-12: amended 1991

Analog information processingaccording to DIN 40900 Part 13, January 1981

To document the linking of analog and binary signals,additional symbols have been used, taken from severalDIN documents.

As a rule, direction of the signal flow is from left to rightand from top to bottom. Other flow directions are markedby an arrow. Input signals are listed on the left side of thesignal flow, output signals on the right side.

Symbol Description

=

To obtain more space forrepresenting a group ofrelated elements, contours ofthe elements may be joined orcascaded if the following rulesare met:

There is no functional linkagebetween elements whosecommon contour line isoriented in the signal flowdirection.

Note:This rule does not necessarilyapply to configurations withtwo or more signal flowdirections, such as forsymbols with a control blockand an output block.

There exists at least onelogical link between elementswhose common contour lineruns perpendicularly to thesignal flow direction.

Symbol Description

Components of a symbolA symbol consists of acontour or contourcombination and one or morequalifiers.

Control blockA control block contains aninput function common toseveral symbols. It is usedfor the collective setting ofseveral trigger elements, forexample.

Output blockAn output block contains anoutput function common toseveral symbols.

Settable control blockThe four digits represent theaddress under which thefunction shown in the textafter the colon may be set viathe local control panel.

Settable control block withfunction blocksThe digits in the functionblock show the settings thatare possible at this address.The text below the symbolshows the setting and thecorresponding unit ormeaning.

Symbol Description

Static inputOnly the state of the binaryinput variable is effective.

Dynamic inputOnly the transition from value0 to value 1 is effective.

Negation of an outputThe value up to the borderline is negated at the output.

Negation of an inputThe input value is negatedbefore the border line.

Dynamic input with negationOnly the transition from value1 to value 0 is effective.

AND elementThe output variable will be 1only if all input variables are 1.

OR elementThe output variable will be 1only if at least one inputvariable is 1.

Threshold elementThe output variable will be 1only if at least two inputvariables are 1. The numberin the symbol may bereplaced by any othernumber.

Symbol Description

(m out of n) elementThe output variable will be 1only if just one input variableis 1.

The number in the symbolmay be replaced by any othernumber if the number ofinputs is increased ordecreased accordingly.

Delay elementThe transition from value 0 to1 at the output occurs after atime delay of t1 relative to thecorresponding transition atthe input.The transition from value 1 to0 at the output occurs after atime delay of t2 relative to thecorresponding transition atthe input.

t1 and t2 may be replaced bythe actual delay values (inseconds or strobe ticks).

Monostable flip-flopThe output variable will be 1only if the input variablechanges to 1. The outputvariable will remain 1 for100 ms, independent of theduration of the input value 1(non-retriggerable).

Without a 1 in the functionblock the monostable flip-flopis retriggerable.

The time is 100 ms in thisexample, but it may bechanged to any otherduration.

Symbol Description

Analog-digital converterAn analog input signal isconverted to a binary signal.

SubtractorThe output variable is thedifference between the twoinput variables.A summing element isobtained by changing theminus sign to a plus sign atthe symbol input.

Schmitt Trigger with binaryoutput signalThe binary output variable willbe 1 if the input signalexceeds a specific threshold.The output variable remains 1until the input signal dropsbelow the threshold again.

Memory, generalStorage of a binary or analogsignal.

Non-stable flip-flopWhen the input variablechanges to 1, a pulsesequence is generated at theoutput.

The ! to the left of the Gindicates that the pulsesequence starts with the inputvariable transition(synchronized start).If there is a ! to the right of theG, the pulse sequence endswith the ending of the 1 signalat the input (synchronizedstop).

Symbol Description

AmplifierThe output variable is 1 only ifthe input variable is also 1.

Band pass filterThe output only transmits the50 Hz component of the inputsignals. All other frequencies(above and below 50 Hz) areattenuated.

CounterAt the + input the inputvariable transitions from 0 to1 are counted and stored inthe function block.At the R(eset) input atransition of the input variablefrom 0 to 1 resets the counterto 0.

Electromechanical drivein general, here a relay, forexample.
