Notes: Intermediate values may be obtained by interpolation. For devices used in switchgear assemblies, standards covering the specific devices should be used to determine the specific altitude correction factors. 1000m is approximately 3300 ft. All values are under review by an IEEE Switchgear Committee Working Group, PC37.100.1 on Common Requirements for Power Switchgear and are provided here for reference until revised values are available.
Breaker Derating
The Emax power breakers do not undergo any changes in their rated performance up to an altitude of 6600 ft (2000m). As the altitude increases the atmospheric properties alter in terms of composition, dielectric capacity, cooling power and pressure. Therefore the breaker undergoes the following derating: Altitude Rated service voltage Continuous current rating Notes: ln = breaker current (ft) (m) [V] [A] <6600 2000 600 ln 9900 3000 600 13200 4000 500 16500 5000 440

Communication
By means of the BT030wireless communication unit, PR121/P can be connected to a pocket PC (PDA) or to a personal computer, extending the range of information available for the user. In fact, by means of ABB SACEs SD-Pocket communication software, It is possible to read the values of the currents _owing through the circuitbreaker, the value of the last 20 interrupted currents, and the protection settings. PR121 can also be connected to the optional external PR021/K signalling unit, for the remote signalling of protections alarms and trips, and to HMI030, for the remote user interfacing.
Test Function
The Test function is carried out by means of the info/Test pushbutton and the PR030/B battery unit (or BT030) fitted with a polarized connector housed on the bottom of the box, which allows the device to be connected to the test connector on the front of PR121/P releases. The PR121/P electronic release can be tested by using the SACE PR010/T test and configuration unit by connecting it to the TEST connector.
31
1SXU900121M0201
32
1SXU900121M0201
Power supply
The unit does not require an external power supply either for protection functions or for alarm signaling functions. It is self-supplied by means of the current sensors installed on the circuit breaker. For it to operate, it is sufficient for at least one phase to be loaded at 100A. An external power supply can be connected in order to activate additional features, and in particular for connection to external devices: HMI030, and PR021/K.

Residual Current
Different solutions are available for integrated residual current protection. The basic choice is PR122/P-LSIRc, which has all the characteristics of PR122/P-LSI and residual current protection as well. When additional features are required, the solution is PR122/P LSIG with an additional PR120/V module (see next paragraph). Using this configuration, residual current protection is added to a powerful unit, having the features of PR122/P-LSI and all the add-ons described for the PR120/V module, such as voltage protection and advanced measurement functions. Residual current protection acts by measuring the current from the external dedicated toroid.
Test Functions
Once enabled from the menu, the info/Test pushbutton on the front of the release allows correct operation of the chain consisting of the microprocessor, opening solenoid and circuit-breaker tripping mechanism to be checked. The control menu also includes the option of testing correct operation of the display, signalling LEDs, and electrical contacts of the PR120/K release. By means of the front multi-pin connector it is possible to apply a SACE PR010/T Test unit which allows the functions of the PR121, PR122 and PR123 ranges of releases to be tested and checked.
User interface
The human-machine interface (HMI) of the device is made up of a wide graphic display, LEDs, and browsing pushbuttons. The interface is designed to provide maximum simplicity. The language can be selected from among five available options: Italian, English, German, French, and Spanish. As in the previous generation of releases, a password system is used to manage the Read or Edit modes. The default password, 0001, can be modified by the user. The protection parameters (curves and trip thresholds) can be set directly via the HMI of the device. The parameters can only be changed when the release is operating in Edit mode, but the information available and the parameter settings can be checked at any time in Read mode. When a communication device (internal PR120/D-Mand PR120/D-BTmodules or external BT030 device) is connected, it is possible to set parameters simply by downloading them into the unit (over the network for PR120/DM, by using the SD-Pocket software and a PDA or a notebook for PR120/D-BT and BT030). Parameterisation can then be carried out quickly and automatically in an error-free way by transferring data directly from DocWin.
Indicator LEDs
LEDs on the front panel of the release are used to indicate all the pre-alarms (WARNING) and alarms (ALARM). A message on the display always explicitly indicates the type of event concerned. Example of events indicated by the WARNING LED: unbalance between phases; pre-alarm for overload (L1>90%); first temperature threshold exceeded (70 C); contact wear beyond 80%; phase rotation reversed (with optional PR120/V)

By default PR122/P, as well as PR123/P, is provided with the Data Logger function, that automatically records in a wide memory buffer the instantaneous values of all the currents and voltages. Data can be easily downloaded from the unit by means of SD-Pocket or TestBus2 applications using a Bluetooth port and can be transferred to any personal computer for elaboration. The function freezes the recording whenever a trip occurs, so that a detailed analysis of faults can be easily performed. SD-Pocket and TestBus2 allow also reading and downloading of all the others trip information. Number of channels: 8 Maximum sampling rate: 4800 Hz Maximum sampling time: 27 s (@ sampling rate 600 Hz) 64 events tracking
Load control
Load control makes it possible to engage/disengage individual loads on the load side before the overload protection L is tripped, thereby avoiding unnecessary trips of the circuit-breaker on the supply side. This is done by means of contactors or switch-disconnectors (externally wired to the release), controlled by the PR122/P by PR120/K internal contacts, or by PR021/K unit. Two different Load Control schemes can be implemented: disconnection of two separate loads, with different current thresholds connection and disconnection of a load, with hysteresis Current thresholds and trip times are smaller than those available for selection with protection L, so that load control can be used to prevent overload tripping. Internal PR120/K or external PR021/K accessory unit is required for Load Control. The function is only active when an auxiliary power supply is present.

Power supply
The PR122 release does not normally require any external power supplies, being self-supplied from the current sensors (CS): to activate the protection and ammeter functions, it is sufficient for at least one phase to have a current load higher than 100 A. For the display to come on, at least one phase must have a current load higher than 160 A. The unit ensures fully self-supplied operation. When an auxiliary power supply is present, it is also possible to use the unit with the circuit breaker either open or closed with very low current flowing through. It is also possible to use an auxiliary power supply provided by the PR030/B portable battery unit (always supplied), which allows the protection functions to be set when the release is not self-supplied. PR122/P stores and shows all the information needed after a trip (protection tripped, trip current, time, date). No auxiliary supply is required for this functionality.

Measurement functions
The PR123 release provides a complete set of measurements: Currents: three phases (L1, L2, L3), neutral (Ne) and ground fault Voltage: phase-phase, phase-neutral and residual voltage Power: active, reactive and apparent Power factor Frequency and peak factor, Energy: active, reactive, apparent, counter Harmonics calculation: up to the 40thharmonic (waveform and module of the harmonics displayed); up to the 35th for frequency f = 60Hz Maintenance: number of operations, percentage of contact wear, opening data storage. The PR123 unit is able to provide the pattern of measurements for some values over an adjustable period of time P, such as: mean active power, maximum active power, maximum current, maximum voltage and minimum voltage. The last 24 P periods (adjustable from 5 to 120 min.) are stored in a non-volatile memory and displayed in a bar graph.
Other Functions
PR123/P integrates all the features (in terms of protection, measurement, signaling and communication) described for PR122/P equipped with PR120/V.
Notes: The directional short-circuit protection can be disabled for an adjustable set time (t = k), and can either be self-supplied or use the auxiliary power supply. Directional protection is not available on 400A rating.

Emax Power Breakers Accessories for Trip Units PR120/V Measurement Module
This optional internal module, installed in PR122 (standard in PR123), allows the release to measure the phase and neutral voltages and to process them in order to achieve a series of features, in terms of protection and measurement. PR120/V does not normally require any external connection or Voltage Transformer, since it is connected internally to the lower terminals of Emax Circuit Breakers. When necessary, the connection of voltage pick-ups can be moved to any other points (i.e. upper terminals), by using the alternative connection located in the terminal box. The module is provided with a sealable switch-disconnector for the dielectric test. PR120/V is able to energize the PR122 while line voltage input is above 85V. The use of Voltage Transformers is mandatory for rated voltages higher than 690V. Voltage transformers shall have burdens equal to 10VA and accuracy class 0.5 or better. Additional Protections with PR120/V: UnderVoltage (UV) protection Overvoltage (OV) protection Residual voltage (RV) protection Reverse power (RP) protection Underfrequency (UF) protection Overfrequency (OF) protection Phase sequence (alarm only) All the above indicated protections can be excluded, although it is possible to leave only the alarm active when required. With the circuit breaker closed, these protections also operate when the release is self-supplied. With the circuit breaker open, they operate when the auxiliary power supply (24V DC or PR120/V) is present: in this case the release will indicate the ALARM status. Voltage protections UV, OV, RV With the PR120/V module, the PR122/P release is able to provide the undervoltage and overvoltage protection (UV, OV) and the residual voltage protection (RV). The residual voltage protection RV identifies interruptions of the neutral (or of the earthing conductor in systems with grounded neutral) and faults that shift the star center in systems with insulated neutral (e.g. large ground faults). The star center shift is calculated as a vectorial sum of the phase voltages. Reverse power protection RP Reverse power protection is especially suitable for protecting large machines such as motors and generators. The PR122 with the PR120/V module can analyze the direction of the active power and open the circuit breaker if the direction is opposite to that of normal operation. The reverse power threshold and the trip time are adjustable. Frequency protections UF, OF The frequency protections detect the variation of network frequency above adjustable thresholds, generating an alarm or opening the circuit breaker. It is a protection typically needed in an isolated network, i.e. powered by a genset.

The versions available are as follows: It is possible to have electrical signaling of the status (open/closed) of the circuit breaker using 4, 10, or 15 auxiliary contacts. The auxiliary contacts have the following configurations: 4 open/closed contacts for PR121 (2 normally open + 2 normally closed) 4 open/closed contacts for PR122/PR123 (2 normally open + 2 normally closed + 2 dedicated to trip unit) 10 open/closed contacts for PR121 (5 normally open + 5 normally closed) 10 open/closed contacts for PR122/PR123 (5 normally open + 5 normally closed + 2 dedicated to trip unit) 15 supplementary open/closed contacts for installation outside the circuit breaker
The standard configuration NO/NC described above can be modified by the user by repositioning the fasten connector on the microswitch. When 10 open/closed contacts for PR122/PR123 are required, the zone discrimination and PR120/K unit are not available.

Emax Power Breakers Breaker Electrical Accessories Shunt Trip/Closing Coil (YO/YC) and Second Shunt Trip (YO2)
This is used for remote control of the circuit breaker. The accessory is the same and the function depends on the installation position on the circuit breaker. It can be used for either of these applications.
Given the characteristics of the circuit breaker operating mechanism, opening (with the circuit breaker closed) is always possible, while closing is only possible when the closing springs are charged. The release can operate with either direct current or alternating current. This release can be operated by a pulse,(1) or with a permanent signal.(2) For safety reasons, Emax circuit breakers can be equipped with a second shunt trip, mounted on a special support as an alternative to the UVR. If the closing coil is powered with a continuous signal, the presence of the anti-pumping device requires it (after an opening operation) to momentarily de-energize the closing coil.

1SXU900121M0201
Emax Power Breakers Breaker Electrical Accessories Gear Motor for the Automatic Charging of Closing Springs (M)
The gear motor accessory automatically charges the closing springs of the circuit breaker operating mechanism. The gear motor immediately recharges the closing springs after closing the circuit breaker. The closing springs can be charged manually (using the relative operating lever) in the event of a power supply failure or during maintenance. It is always supplied with a limit switch for signaling that the closing springs are charged.

1SXU900121M0201
It can be used also to open the circuit breaker (using normally closed pushbuttons), as a lock in closing position. The power supply is therefore obtained on the supply side of the circuit breaker or from an independent source. The circuit breaker can be closed only when the release is energized. The release can operate with either direct current or alternating current. When the voltage drops below 10% of the rated voltage, the UVR trips the circuit breaker. The circuit breaker can be closed when the applied voltage is higher than 85%. It can be fitted with a contact to signal when the under voltage release is energized. Note: With the under voltage release, the use of the anti-racking-out device is not allowed.

Maintenance Switch
Brief Description
The maintenance switch is used to manually change the circuit breakers Instantaneous protection settings to a preprogrammed set of values by means of a door mounted switch.
Application
The maintenance switch concept is used when the customer requires a faster tripping time when personnel are working in and around the switchgear. The circuit breaker stores preset values (Value A = Normal and Value B = Maintenance) with regards to the instantaneous settings. These values are determined by the customer and programmed into the circuit breaker trip unit. Normal values are specified for regular operation of the switchgear, Maintenance values are specified for when work is being performed on the switchgear. The values can be easily changed by means of the maintenance switch located on the circuit breaker compartment door. Required Parts PR123 Trip Unit for the Emax circuit breaker. PR120K4C signaling unit Blue indicating light (to be blinking when in maintenance mode) 24VDC power supply (this is standard with PR123) ABB 2 position changeover switch, 4 pole, with padlockable handle in both positions.

SD-View 2000
SD-View 2000 is a ready-to-use system, consisting of software for personal computers, in standard configuration, which allows complete control of the low voltage electrical installation. Putting the SD-View 2000 system into operation is quick and easy. In fact, the software itself guides the user in recognizing and configuring the protection units. The user only needs knowledge of the installation (such as how many circuit breakers are installed and how they are connected to each other). No engineering work on the supervision system is required, since all the pages displayed are already configured in the system, ready to be used. Usage of the software is intuitive and easy to learn for the operator: SD-View 2000 has graphic pages based on Internet Explorer, which makes the system as simple to manage as surfing on the Internet. System architecture is based on the latest developments in personal computer and industrial communication network technology. The ABB SACE devices are connected to the serial bus RS485 Modbus. A maximum of 31 devices can be connected to a bus. A maximum of 4 serial bus lines can be connected to a personal computer which works as data server, reading and storing the data received from the devices. The server is also used as the operator station, from where the data can be displayed and printed, commands can be sent to the devices and all the operations needed to manage the installation can be carried out. The server can be connected to a local network together with other personal computers which work as additional operator stations (clients). This way, installation supervision and control can be carried out with total reliability from any station connected to the network on which SD-View 2000 is installed.

Communications
SD-View 2000 is the ideal tool available to managers, in order to have the situation of the installations under control at all times and to be able to control all the functions easily and in real time.
The SD-View 2000 operator station (personal computer) allows information from the installation to be received and control the circuit breakers and relative releases. In particular, it is possible to: Send opening and closing commands to the circuit breakers Read the electrical installation values (current, voltage, power factor, etc.) Read and modify the trip characteristics of the protection units Determine the status of the apparatus (open, closed, number of operations, trip for fault, etc.) Determine abnormal operating situations (e.g. Overload) and, in the case of the releases tripping, the type of fault (short-circuit, ground fault, value of the uninterrupted currents, etc.) Log the history of the installation (energy consumption, most highly loaded phase, any warnings of anomalies or faults, etc.) Show the temporal evolution of the installation by means of graphs. Access to the various system functions can be enabled by means of secret codes or passwords with different levels of authorization. Usage of the system is really simple thanks to the user interface based on Internet explorer. The graphic pages relative to each circuit breaker are particularly intuitive and easy to use. The circuit breakers with electronic releases which can be interfaced with SD-View 2000 are: Emax LV air circuit breakers from E1 to E6 fitted with PR122/P or PR123/P releases with Modbus RTU PR120/ D-M communication unit Emax LV air circuit breakers from E1 to E6 fitted with PR112/PD or PR113/PD Modbus releases Tmax LV molded case circuit breakers T4 and T5 fitted with PR222/PD release Isomax LV circuit breakers from S4 to S7 fitted with PR212/P release with Modbus RTU PR212/D-M communication unit.

In addition, SD-View 2000 can acquire current, voltage and power measurements in real time from the MTME485 multimeters with Modbus communication. Furthermore, it is possible to interface any air or molded-case circuit breaker or switch-disconnector, not fitted with electronics, with SD-View 2000 by using a PLC AC31 unit as the communication module. For the circuit breakers or switch-disconnectors connected in this way, SD-View 2000 shows the conditions of the apparatus (open, closed, tripped, racked-in or racked-out) in real time and allows it to be operated remotely. All the characteristics of the devices listed are pre-configured in the SD-View 2000 system. Therefore, the user does not have to carry out any detailed configuration (i.e. insert tables with data to be displayed for each release, or draft ad hoc graphic pages): simply enter the list of devices connected into the system.

TestBus 2
TestBus2 is the ABB SACE commissioning and diagnostic software for all Modbus RTU devices. It can be used during system startup, or to troubleshoot an installed network. TestBus2 automatically scans the RS-485 bus, detects all connected devices and checks their communication settings. All possible combination of device address, parity and baud rate are checked. A click on scan is enough to spot devices which are not responding, have wrong addresses, misconfigured parity bits, and so on. This function is not limited to ABB SACE devices. All standard Modbus RTU devices are detected and their configuration is displayed. After the scan, the software displays warning messages about potential problems and configuration errors, allowing complete diagnosis of a field bus network. When ABB SACE circuit breakers are detected, additional functions can be used to check wirings, send open/ close/reset commands, and retrieve diagnostic information. This user-friendly tool makes commissioning of Modbus networks a breeze. TestBus2 is freeware and can be downloaded from the BOL website (http://bol.it.abb.com)

Case 3: Two sources, one Tie, Open Transition, Automatic Mode 1. Normal condition: both main breakers 1 and 2 are closed and the tie breaker is open. 2. Upon failure of either utility source, and after a user-adjustable time delay, the system shall open the main breaker corresponding to the lost utility source and close the tie breaker. 3. After the normal or preferred utility source voltage has been restored, the system will apply the pre-set useradjustable time delay, and then shall open the tie breaker. The transfer system shall apply a second user adjustable time-delay (allowing voltage to decay) before the main normal utility source breaker is closed allowing an open transition re-transfer of the load. 4. Should utility source 2 fail while feeding the load, re-transfer to source 1 shall be instantaneous provided that source 1 is within acceptable parameters. 5. Should both sources 1 and 2 fail at the same time, the system will not react upon restoration of any of the two (or both) sources to acceptable limits.
Case 4: Two sources, one Tie, Open Transition, Manual Mode If manually operated, the three breakers Main 1, Main 2 and Tie shall be opened and closed by means of push buttons or control switches. The three breakers will be electrically interlocked to prevent the simultaneous closing of both mains and the tie.

Case 5: Two Sources, One Tie, Closed Transition, Automatic Mode 1. Normal condition: both main breakers 1 and 2 are closed and the tie breaker is open. 2. Upon loss of either utility source 1 or 2, the system will apply the pre-set user-adjustable time delay (to override momentary failures of source voltage), and then open the affected main breaker and close the tie breaker. 3. Upon return of the preferred utility voltage and after the pre-set user-adjustable time delay expires, the transfer system shall check for synchronism of the two utility sources 1 and 2 via a sync check relay (Device 25), and then close the affected main breaker before opening the tie breaker allowing momentary paralleling of the two sources (closed transition re-transfer to Normal). The time for momentary paralleling shall be user-adjustable with a maximum number of predefined seconds. 4. Should the alternate source 2 fail while feeding the load, and provided that the normal or preferred source 1 is back and within acceptable limits the system will instantaneously (over-riding any time-delay) re-transfer the load to Source 1. 5. Should both sources 1 and 2 fail at the same time, the system will not react until restoration of any of the two (or both) sources to acceptable limits had taken place. Case 6: Two Sources, One Tie, Closed Transition Transfer, Manual Mode 1. If operated manually, all three breakers shall be opened and closed using pushbuttons or control switches. If open transition mode is chosen, breakers should be electrically interlocked to prevent the inadvertent and simultaneous closing of both mains and the tie. If closed transition mode is selected, all three breakers might be simultaneously closed for a user-adjustable and pre-set time delay of 5 seconds. ANSI 25 shall avoid momentary paralleling of both sources if they are out of synchronism. Breakers shall be open via pushbuttons or control switches or the system shall open the tie breaker after the time delay has expired.

3) Solid grounding Solid grounding is the connection of a conductor, without any intentional impedance, from the neutral of a generator, power transformer, or grounding transformer directly to ground. Solid grounding is generally recommended for low-voltage systems when the automatic isolation of a faulted circuit can be tolerated or where it is not feasible to isolate a ground fault in a high-resistance grounded system. Systems used to supply phase-to-neutral loads must be solidly grounded as required by the National Electrical Code (NEC) The systems are : 120/240 V, single-phase, three-wire 208Y/120 V, three-phase, four-wire 480Y/277 V, three-phase, four-wire Solidly grounded systems have the greatest control of overvoltages but also have the highest magnitudes of ground-fault current. These high-magnitude fault currents must be taken into consideration when designing the system. 4) Reactance grounding The term reactance grounding applies to the case in which a reactor is connected between the system neutral and ground. Reactance grounding is usually employed in applications where there is a need to limit the magnitude of the ground-fault current to a level that is relatively close to that of a three-phase fault. The use of reactors to provide this fault limitation is often less expensive than the use of grounding resistors if the desired current magnitude is of several kilo amperes. Reactance-grounded systems are not commonly employed in industrial power systems. 5) Resistance grounding In this type of system, the neutral of the generator or transformer is connected to ground through a resistor. The line-to ground fault current is primarily limited by the high ohmic magnitude of the resistor as compared to that of the system reactance. Based on the magnitude of ground-fault current permitted to flow, resistance grounding may be either of two classes, high resistance or low resistance.
97
1SXU900121M0201
Applications
6) High-resistance grounding
As the term implies, high-resistance grounding employs a neutral resistor of high ohmic value. The value of the resistor is selected to limit the current, Ir, to a magnitude equal to or slightly greater than the total capacitance charging current, 3 Ico.
Normally, the ground-fault current, Ig, is limited to 10 Amps or less, although some medium voltage specialized systems may require higher ground-fault levels. The potential damage caused by an arcing current larger than 10 Amps in confined spaces makes the use of high-resistance grounding on systems where the line-to-ground fault exceeds 10 Amps not advisable. High-resistance grounding provides the same advantages as ungrounded systems, but unlike the ungrounded systems, it limits the steady state and severe transient overvoltages associated with ungrounded systems. The protective scheme associated with high-resistance grounding is usually detection and alarming rather than immediate trip out. High-resistance grounding usually does not require immediate clearing of a ground fault since the fault current is limited to a very low level. 7) Low-resistance grounding Low-resistance grounding is mostly employed in medium-voltage systems of 15 kV and below, especially where large rotating machinery is used. For large generators neutral resistor is usually selected to limit a minimum of 100 Amps up to a maximum of 1.5 times the normal rated generator current. The resistor ohmic value is selected to allow a ground-fault current acceptable for relaying. The grounding resistor can be rated for intermittent duty. In normal practice it is rated for 10 sec or 30 sec.

Attachment 2: Post Glover High Resistance Ground System
The standard High Resistance Ground System utilized in the MaxSG has these features: 1) Overvoltage Reduction Reduces the transient over voltages that can occur during arcing-type faults. Fault Detection Provides an indication when the first ground fault occurs. An adjustable time delay is included to eliminate nuisance faults. Fault Tracking Helps to locate the fault by producing a tracer signal of current pulses easily distinguishable from background noise. 2) Operation Protection Enables the system to continue operation with a single line-to-ground fault present. 3) Harmonic Detection Provides an indication when third harmonics exceed a preset value. An adjustable time delay is included to eliminate nuisance faults. 4) Arc Flash/Blast Reduction Eliminates hazardous energy during ground faults that are present in 90% of all electrical faults. I. Normal Operation 1) During normal operation, only an insignificant capacitive-charging current, unbalanced harmonic current, and/or leakage current flows through the resistor. The display will show this current and/or voltage. The green NORMAL indicating light on the operators panel will be illuminated. 2) The PulserPlus Pro controller detects Fundamental Current and/or Voltage and 3rd Harmonic Current and/or Voltage for both over- and under-conditions. Each of the four can be independently disabled by turning the feature OFF, and the underconditions can be disabled by entering a 0 value. A common time delay setting is used for all Fundamental alarming and a separate common time delay setting is used for all 3rd Harmonic alarming. II. Loss of Ground 1) When the current mentioned above goes to zero, typically this indicates a Loss of Ground condition (i.e. grounding wire failure). If this occurs, the system will be Ungrounded. The PulserPlus Pro controller has an Under-Current/Under-Voltage feature that detects this condition for both Fundamental and 3rd Harmonics. Upon detection, the green NORMAL indicating light will turn off and its auxiliary form-C contacts change state. This feature can be disabled by setting its value to zero. III. Ground Fault 1) When a ground fault occurs, the resistor acts to limit the ground current to a predetermined low value. Fault current magnitude can be set by adjusting the taps provided on the resistor. Fault current shall be set so that the fault current is slightly greater than the systems natural capacitive-charging current (see Figure 1).

2) The fundamental voltage appearing across the resistor or the fundamental amperage through the resistor is sensed by the PulserPlus Pro controller. To prevent nuisance indications, a variable time delay is entered via the operators panel. When the time delay expires, the red GROUND FAULT indicator light will start to blink, the NORMAL indicator light will turn off, and an alarm horn will sound. Upon detection, SYSTEM NORMAL and GROUND FAULT auxiliary form-C contacts change state. 3) The alarm horn can be silenced by pressing the ALARM SILENCE button while searching for the cause of the ground fault. The red GROUND FAULT indicator light will continue blinking until the ground fault is removed and the system is manually reset by pressing the RESET and ALARM SILENCE buttons. Optionally, the PulserPlus Pro can be configured for auto-reset. 4) The Under-Voltage / Under-Current feature for 3rd Harmonics can also be used for detecting Ground faults near the neutral of a wye connected generator. During a Ground Fault near the neutral, the voltage may not be sufficient to drive enough current for Ground Fault detection. However, the typical 3rd harmonic caused by fractional pitched generators will be shorted and the value will go to 0. 5) High 3rd Harmonics To prevent nuisance indications, the adjustable time delay setting can be manipulated via the operators panel. The PulserPlus Pro controller does know the difference between this condition and a Loss of Ground condition, so only the green NORMAL indicating light will turn off and the SYSTEM NORMAL auxiliary form-C contacts change state. 6) High 3rd harmonics are also sensed by the PulserPlus Pro controller. An upper limit is set by the user for detection of current or voltage across the resistor. After a time delay expires; the amber THIRD HARMONIC indicator light will illuminate, the NORMAL indicator light will turn off, and an alarm horn will sound. Upon detection, the SYSTEM NORMAL and THIRD HARMONIC auxiliary form-C contacts change state. 7) The alarm horn can be silenced by pressing the ALARM SILENCE button while searching for the cause of the third harmonic fault. The amber THIRD HARMONIC light will remain illuminated until the condition is removed and the system is manually reset by pressing the RESET and ALARM SILENCE buttons. Optionally, the PulserPlus Pro can be configured for auto-reset. a. A Summary of Events is shown on the following page.

IV. ABBs High Resistance Grounding Systems are packaged in a variety of different configurations depending on the ratings and site requirements. The resistor maybe provided mounted internally in the rear cable compartment or may be provided in its own NEMA 3R rated enclosure. The controller is mounted in a 42 (1066 mm) instrument compartment. The location of the resistor may be impacted due to the mounting of other devices. There might need to be need to mount the whole unit in its own enclosure 23.6 (600 mm) wide. 1) Line and Control Connections a. Refer to application specific drawings that accompany the ABBs system. Generally, the line connections are made from either the top or bottom of the enclosure. Space is provided for line cables to run down the side without any cable bends. The control power and auxiliary device connections are made to the terminal blocks rated 30 amperes, 600 volts. a. Refer to the specific diagrams furnished with the equipment for location detail. b. As a final check, inspect all wiring to verify that connections are made properly and that they are clean and tight. Make sure there is adequate clearance between the external connections and all devices. 2) Setting Resistor Tap Connections a. Adjust the resistor at installation so that ground current with one ground fault is equal to or greater than the system capacitive-charging current. As long as this minimum criteria is met, the exact magnitude of the setting is not critical. In fact, a value slightly higher than the system capacitivecharging current may be selected to allow for future system growth. Refer to the elementary schematics for grounding resistor connections. 3) General a. When the installation is complete and all incoming wiring has been terminated, clean the inside of the unit with a soft cloth or vacuum cleaner. Make sure any dirt or debris, such as packing material, is removed so it does not interfere with the operation of the unit. Before connecting power to the control panel, check all components to make sure all shipping devices, such as blocking or tying of relays, have been removed. 4) Energize Circuit a. Close the disconnect switch (SW1). This will connect the equipment to the power system. b. Enter the setup information through the operators panel per the instructions given below. The system NORMAL green light should be illuminated on the operator panel, indicating the presence of power and that no fault or under-condition is present. 5) Ground Fault Alarm Test With Test Resistor: a. This test actually places a controlled ground fault on the system within the enclosure through a test resistor. The test resistor is connected between a phase conductor and ground, so the test circuit begins at a phase, goes through the test resistor to ground, from ground through the neutral grounding resistor, and finally to the PulserPlus ProTM module. b. The readings on the PulserPlus ProTM module will be lower than normal readings due to the test resistor connected in series with the neutral grounding resistor.

c. The purpose of the test resistor is to avoid a phase-ground-phase fault if an actual ground fault
were to occur during testing. The resistor would be connected between the two phases. d. Enter a test value in the Fundamental Voltage Hi Limit Setpoint. This test voltage needs to be calculated depending on the actual resistor values. Although 100 volts is typically used for a test value, the schematic drawings provided with the PulserPlus ProTM unit should be consulted. e. The equation below can be used to determine a non-typical test value. Vtest = (VL-N / (RGF + RT-G)) RGF 10V i. ii. iii. iv. v. Where: Vtest is the test voltage to be entered in the Fnd Vlt Hi Limit VL-N is the line-to-neutral system voltage RGF is the resistance of the neutral grounding resistor at the chosen tap RT-G is the test-to-ground resistance see schematic drawing Press and hold the SYSTEM TEST pushbutton on the operators panel to activate the ground-fault circuitry. After a delay, the green NORMAL light should turn off, and the red GROUND FAULT light should start to blink. In addition, the audible alarm will sound. vi. Release the SYSTEM TEST pushbutton. Press and hold the ALARM SILENCE pushbutton and the audible alarm should cease. Press the RESET pushbutton and the red and green lights and auxiliary contacts should revert to their normal states. 6) Without Test Resistor: a. This test will verify operation of the PulserPlus ProTM module only. The test bypasses the neutral grounding resistor and most of the circuitry by opening the neutral grounding circuit and applying control voltage (~120Vac) to the PulserPlus ProTM controller module. b. Enter a value lower than 100 volts in the Fundamental Voltage Hi Limit Setpoint. c. The same procedure that is used with a test resistor can now be followed. 7) General a. The magnitude of zero-sequence charging current is determined by the line-to-ground capacitance associated with system components. The value of the current must be known to properly coordinate the ABB High-Resistance Grounding System. In an industrial power system where the design and components are known, the charging current can be estimated with reasonable accuracy. With a complex array of machines and cables this may be tedious and yield less-than-accurate results. The discussion that follows outlines a suitable test for determining the value of current in a system. A transformers capacitance-to-ground is usually negligible because of the large spacing between the transformers core and winding, and the shielding effect of the winding layer adjacent to the core. Shielding prevents other winding layers from significantly increasing the winding-to-ground capacitance. Cable and overhead line capacitance, on the other hand, can be significant if the circuit is large. b. Major contributions to the overall system capacitance-to-ground are made by rotating machines. Attributes such as the type of insulation and the number and depth of slots can produce wide variations. A typical value for a 200 hp, 2300 volt, 1800 rpm induction motor might be 0.002 microfarads phase-to-ground capacitance.
118

8) The most accurate way to determine the maximum value of the charging current is by test, since extreme variations can exist. The charging current per phase is represented by ICA, ICB or ICC while IC corresponds to the total line-to-ground charging current. To obtain the zero-sequence charging current, one phase conductor is intentionally grounded as shown in Figure 1, next page. 9) Test Procedure (refer to Figure 1 below) a. Temporarily install a disconnect switch, a current limiting fuse and a portable ammeter in the path between the phase to be tested and earth ground, as shown in Figure 1 on the next page. DO NOT CLOSE TEMPORARY DISCONNECT UNTIL SW1 IS CLOSED. b. Close the disconnect switch in the PulserPlus Pro cabinet (SW1) to provide a return path to measure current returning through the neutral grounding resistor.
c. Close the temporary disconnect switch installed on the phase to be grounded (as shown in Figure 1) in the system. d. With both disconnect switches closed, current through the grounded phase (IG) can be read by the portable ammeter and current through the neutral grounding resistor (IR) can be read by the PulserPlus Pro Display unit.
e. After the test is completed and all data is collected, open the temporary disconnect switch associated with the grounded phase before opening the disconnect switch (SW1) in the PulserPlus Pro cabinet. f. Use the charging current calculations below to find the total line-to-ground charging current (IC).

3) Test Results a. All components that are operating during testing contribute to the test results. This includes the contribution of the surge-protective capacitor which, as mentioned previously, can be quite significant. As such, the test results should be modified to include all surge-protective capacitors not in operation during testing. b. The resulting value should be used to determine a minimum current for ground fault alarming. Set the resistor taps in Section 6 so that the fault current is slightly greater than IC.NOTE: The temporary disconnect switch and current limiting fuse associated with the phase to be grounded are not included with the PulserPlus Pro. A portable ammeter can be included as an option with the PulserPlus Pro. 4) Controller Setup a. Power Up Supply b. Apply AC power to the unit. After a 1/2 second beep, the following message will be displayed for 5 seconds:
c. The unit then goes through a short self check. During the self check, the following message will be displayed:

d. Once the self check is complete, the display unit will display the fundamental and/ or 3rd harmonic voltage and/or the amperage of the grounded system by automatically toggling between the screens. The unit may be programmed to display any or all of these measurements. 5) Adjustable Parameters a. The following features of the PulserPlus ProTM can be set from the front panel. Fundamental Voltage Measurement On/Off Harmonic Voltage Measurement On/Off Fundamental Amperage Measurement On/Off Harmonic Amperage Measurement On/Off CT Ratio On/Off Fundamental Voltage Hi Limit nnn V Fundamental Voltage Lo Limit nnn V Harmonic Voltage Hi Limit nnn V Harmonic Voltage Lo Limit nnn V Fundamental Amp Hi Limit nn.n A Fundamental Amp Lo Limit nn.n A Harmonic Amp Hi Limit nn.n A Harmonic Amp Lo Limit nn.n A Pulse Time Sec n.n S Fundamental Alarm Delay nn.n S Harmonic Alarm Delay nn.n S Auto Reset On/Off b. Configuration mode i. To Enter Configuration Mode Press BOTH the RESET and DOWN ARROW buttons until the unit BEEPS, then release. ii. Adjust Values in Configuration Mode: Numeric values can be adjusted by using the UP ARROW and DOWN ARROW buttons. The buttons have two speeds. If either button is held in, the display will increment/ decrement by single units for 5 counts, then it will increment/decrement by ten units. Releasing the button will restore the single units counting. Pressing the ENTER button will store the NEW value and go to the next setting. Pressing the MODE button will go to the next setting WITHOUT changing the stored setting. Pressing the PULSE button will go back to the previous screen WITHOUT changing the stored setting. iii. Exit Configuration Mode Pressing the RESET button will EXIT configuration mode. After 60 seconds of inactivity, the unit will exit configuration mode and return to displaying fundamental and/or harmonic measurements.

c. Measurement Enable
Using the UP ARROW and DOWN ARROW buttons, the Fundamental Voltage and Amperage, and the 3rd Harmonic Voltage and Amperage measurement displays can be enabled or disabled. Measurement displays default to the ENABLED condition.
Press the UP ARROW or DOWN ARROW buttons to select the desired ratio, then press ENTER to store the parameter.

This feature multiplies the measured current by the selected CT ratio. For example, the physical limitation of the PulserPlus Pro module is 16A. If 20A is desired, a 30:5 CT is used to send a 0-5A signal the module. The CT ratio is set for 6x, so the measured current (0 to 5A) is multiplied by 6x. The display and alarming uses this multiplied current (0 to 30A). Default setting for the CT ratio is Off, 1X. The CT ratio is factory set to the proper rating for the installed components. e. Hi Limit Setpoints The Hi Limits are only accessible if the associated measurement display is enabled.
The Hi Limit setpoint indicates the level at which the Ground Fault or Third Harmonic alarm will activate. Using the UP ARROW and DOWN ARROW buttons, the voltage hi limits may be set to any voltage between 0 and 400 volts. For Medium Voltage applications, see the schematic prints provided with the unit for information on setting this value. The amperage hi limits may be adjusted between 00.0 and 16.0 amps. f. Lo Limit Setpoints The Lo Limits are only accessible if the associated measurement display is enabled.
124

The Lo Limit setpoint indicates the level at which the Loss of Ground condition will activate. For a Harmonic Lo Limit, it may also indicate a Ground Fault. Using the UP ARROW and DOWN ARROW buttons, the voltage Lo limits may be set to any voltage between 0 and 400 volts. g. Pulsing Timer
The Pulse Rate used to locate ground faults can be adjusted from 0.5 to 3.0 seconds in increments of 0.1 seconds. The setpoint indicates time on and time off, so a setting of 1.0 S results in the pulse on for 1 second and off for 1 second (pulse rate of 30 per minute). Calculation: 60 / [2 * setpoint (seconds)] = pulse rate per minute Sample Settings 0.5 s 1.0 s 2.0 s 3.0 s Resulting Pulse Rate 60/min 30/min 15/min 10/min

h. Alarm Delay
The Alarm Delay setpoints indicate the amount of time between a fault indication and the alarm activation in seconds. During the alarm delay time, the system will monitor the fundamental and/or harmonic voltage and/or amperage measurement. If the faulted parameter returns to a value within the set limits prior to the expiration of the delay, the alarm will be canceled. Thus, a transient high measurement will not activate the alarm. The default setting for this setpoint is 4.5 seconds. Using the UP ARROW and DOWN ARROW buttons, the alarm delay may be set for any time between 0 and 20.4 seconds. i. Auto Reset
When turned On (enabled), auto-reset will reset the unit when a fault is cleared. When turned Off (disabled), a user must press the ALARM SILENCE and RESET buttons to place the system in NORMAL state after clearing a fault. j. Locating a Ground Fault To locate a ground fault, activate the pulsing circuit by pressing and holding the PULSE pushbutton on the operators panel. Once the words Pulser On are indicated on the alphanumeric display, the button may be released. This activates a control circuit which causes a cyclic switching sequence. The switching sequence consists of the cycle timing of an integral pulsing relay (P). The pulsing relay (P) output contact on the controller alternately energizes and de-energizes a pulsing contactor (PX) mounted on the PulserPlus Pro control panel backplate. The pulsing contactor (PX) shorts out a portion of the grounding resistor (NGR) each time the contactor is energized, producing a tracer signal.

below). The feeder with the fault will show rhythmic fluctuations on the detectors readout. The fault can be traced to the sub-feeder and eventually to the faulted device. Once this location is determined, the pulser should be turned off by pressing and holding the PULSE pushbutton on the operators panel. Once the words Pulser Off are indicated on the alphanumeric display, the button may be released. After clearing the fault, place the system in its normal operation mode by pressing the RESET pushbutton. See Figure 2, next page.
k. Maintenance Normally, no maintenance is necessary for the PulserPlus Pro high resistance grounding system. However, periodic inspections are needed to ensure that the controller is functioning correctly and the resistor is still capable of protecting the system. ABB recommends that the periodic inspections coincide with your normal system Preventative Maintenance schedule. The following procedure is recommended for periodic field inspections: a. De-energize the system being grounded and break the connection between the system, the neutral, and the grounding resistor using the disconnect switch. Always use proper lock-out/tag-out procedures when working on electrical equipment.

b. Open the front door on the control enclosure. For systems with a separately mounted resistor, remove the front and rear covers. This will allow for a visual inspection of all internal components. c. Carefully check for cracked insulators and resistor cores. A MEGGAR or Hi-Pot test is the most reliable method of ensuring that the insulation is still providing the necessary electrical isolation. d. Check the resistive element for continuity. Ohmmeter readings made between each neutral tap and the ground side of the resistor should be within 10% of the values on the resistor drawing. If the resistances of the elements are more than 15% different from the drawing values, the resistors should be replaced. Any open resistors should be replaced. e. Check all internal connections for tightness. Check wiring for signs of damage from heat or overloads. f. Check the enclosure for signs of damage from weather or rodents. Remove any dirt or debris from the inside of the enclosure using a vacuum cleaner. Replace all side covers removed during inspection and check the mounting bolts for tightness. Close the front door of the control enclosure. g. After re-energizing the system, perform the Test procedure in section 4.3 to verify system operation.
