1. DESCRIPTION
1. DESCRIPTION
The BUS1000 is a high-speed static protection system aimed at detecting phase to phase and to ground
faults in buses at high voltage substations.
The main unit is an overcurrent three phase differential relay with percentage restraint and stabilization
resistors.
The relay is provided with a very sensible overcurrent differential unit which provides an alarm and blocks
the output of any protection trip in case of an accidental disconnection of any of the measuring units’ inputs
during the normal operation of the substation.
As an option, the protection system may include a detection device for breaker failures, associated to the
differential protection and overcurrent units for individual supervision of tripping from each breaker.
The modular feature of the system allows to carry out various configurations adapted to the specific
characteristics of the buses to be protected (multiple or single-bus, breaker and one half, special
dispositions, etc.)
Depending on the complexity of the application, the protection system is housed in one or more 19
inches standard racks or, as an option, in complete cabinets.
The outstanding features of the BUS1000 system are:
• Does not need dedicated secondary
• Signalling and tripping contacts independent of location.
• Redundant measuring circuits for self-checking.
• Measuring "units" for line currents and operation and restraint magnitudes in order to ease the set up and
maintenance.
• An optional testing system to check the operation of the alarm and measuring units in normal operation
conditions.
• Optional overcurrent units for the supervision of the breaker tripping in every position.
• An optional breaker failure detection device. (Several steps logic available)
• Optional lockout relays (86)
The information given hereafter does not intend to cover all the different details or variations of
the described equipment neither does it intend to foresee any event that may arise during its set up,
operation or maintenance.
Should any further information be requested, or in the event of a specific problem that may need
any information other than that provided, refer to GE POWER MANAGEMENT, S.A.

3. OPERATION PRINCIPLES
3.1. BASIC PRINCIPLE
The measurement method relies on Kirchhoff´s current law.
This law states that the vectorial sum of all currents flowing into a closed area must be zero. This law
applies, in the first instance, to dc current. It applies to ac current for instantaneous values. Thus, the sum of
the currents in all feeders of a busbar must be zero at any instant in time.
I1 I2 I3 .... In
Figure 3.1. Busbar with “n” feeders
Assuming that the currents I1 , I2 ,I3 ... In flow in the feeders ( Fig 3.1) connected to the busbar, the following
equation applies in the fault-free condition ( the currents flowing towards the busbar are defined as positive,
and the currents flowing away from the busbar as negative ) :
I1 + I2 + I3 ... + In = 0
If this equation is not fulfilled, then there must be some other-impermissible-path through which a current
flows. This means that there is a fault in the busbar region.
This law is superior, as the basis for busbar protection, to any other known way of measurement. A single
quantity, the sum of currents, characterises and can be used to detect faulty conditions. This sum of all
currents can be formed at any time and if formed as such, using instantaneous current values, full use of
above law can be made. Above law is always valid, whereas with a comparison of only the zero crossing
points of the currents or of the current directions may involve phase displacements that would have to be
considered accordingly. For instance, in a fault-free three-phase load, the instants of zero current are
displaced by 50º or 120º with respect to e. Unbalanced load may produce other displacements. The sum of
the currents, on the other hand, remains constantly zero as long as no currents flow through some other
path due to a fault.
The above considerations apply strictly to the primary conditions in a high-voltage switching station.
Protection systems, however, cannot carry out direct measurements of currents in high-voltage systems.
Protection equipment measurement systems, performing the current comparisons, are connected through
current transformers. The secondary windings provide the currents scaled down according to the
transformation ratio while retaining the same phase relation. Furthermore, the current transformers, due to
the isolation of their secondary circuits from the high-voltage system and by appropriate grounding
measures, can keep dangerous high voltages away from the protection system.
The current transformers are an integral part of the whole protection system and their characteristics are an
important factor for the correct operation of the protection. Their physical locations mark the limits of the
protection zone covered by the protection system.

3.2. DIFFERENTIAL UNIT
Figures 1 and 2 represent the simplified connection diagram of the differential protection and its
behaviour with internal and external faults respectively, without any saturation on C.T. cores.
Auxiliary intermediate current transformers are aimed at equalising the currents received by the relay for
every input position, since the main transformers may have a different transformation ratio. They have been
specially designed to provide a homogeneous response (same saturation characteristic) for all the inputs to
the measure unit, thus allowing the use of main transformers with different characteristics.
The VD current is the operation magnitude and it is proportional to the differential current. The VF voltage
is the restraint magnitude and it is proportional to the sum of the currents of all the positions associated to
the bus to be protected.
In ideal conditions, for an external fault, current flows through the input circuits of the different positions
without differential current; thus, VD is zero and VF is equal to twice the value of the fault current, whereas for
an internal fault, all the fault current goes through the differential circuit which makes VD and VF equal.
Figure 15 shows the block diagram of the percentage restraint differential unit and the supervision
differential unit.
For the main measure unit, VD and VF voltages are applied to a sum circuit which subtracts from the VD
value part of the VF restraint voltage value obtaining thus a combined signal which is applied to a level
detector. The restraint current ratio K subtracted from the differential voltage is called restraint percentage
and it determines the operation characteristic of the unit as well as its sensitivity.
The level detector is a fixed VO threshold level comparator (factory adjusted), with an operation time of
1.5 milliseconds and a reset time of 40 milliseconds in order to ensure a constant signal in the output relay.
The Vo level of the detector is calculated so that the unit may produce an output when the ID - K IF
magnitude is over 0.1 Rms. Figure 3 shows the operation characteristic corresponding to this equation.
3.2.1. BEHAVIOUR WITH INTERNAL FAULTS
In the case of internal faults, we assume that no current transformer is saturated and therefore the
equivalent circuit with its corresponding current distribution is that of fig. 1.
Note that in these conditions all the fault current will pass through the differential unit. From the design of the
circuit we have:
NED = NEF = N (1) Input transformer's ratio
RD = RF = R (2) Load resistance of the restraint and differential transformers.
By analysing the behaviour of the differential unit in the first half cycle of the current at a 50 Hz rated
frequency in the network we will have:
V0
18T
V D -KV F
90 -9T
0 90 180

Where:
VD = RMS voltage in the differential circuit.
VF = RMS voltage in the restraint circuit.
VO= Threshold voltage in the level detector.
ID = RMS current in the differential circuit.
IF = RMS current in the restraint circuit.
K= Restraint percent in unit value.
T= Detector time (in ms.).
We will have the following values’ ratio:
VD = I D * N ED * RD = I D * N * R
VF = I F * N EF * RF = I F * N * R
On the other hand, the differential unit will produce an output when the VA value is above the V O one, that is,
when:
2 * (VD − K * VF ) * sen(90 − 9T ) ≥ VO [5]
or what is the same when:
I D − K * I F ≥ VO * (1 / 2 * sen(90 − 9T )) * (1 N * R) [6]
The circuit design values are:
Vo = 0.137 V
T = 1.5 ms.
N = 0.01
R = 100 ÿ
With these values the equation is reduced to:
I D − K * I F ≥ 0 .1 [7]
For an internal fault ID = IF, so:
I D ≥ 0.1 /(1 − K ) [8]
From this equation we obtain the relay's sensitivity in amperes for the different values of K.

3.2.2. BEHAVIOUR WITH EXTERNAL FAULTS
3.2.2.1. Without saturation
During the time prior to the saturation of any of the main C.T's and assuming ideal conditions for an external
fault, the fault current flows through input circuits of the various positions without any differential current.
In these conditions the value of VD = 0 and in our case, the value of VF will be proportional to twice the fault
current. See fig. 2.
3.2.2.2. With saturation
In the case of an external fault, saturation may be produced in the current transformers associated to any of
the protected bus positions. In this case, the inputs' currents will not be compensated; thus a differential
current will be produced which must not lead to the operation of the relay. The combination of the percent
restraint operation characteristic together with the RE stabilization resistance in the differential circuit ensures
the correct behaviour of the unit in these circumstances.
The worst case from the point of view of the possibility of false operations with external faults is that of a
complete saturation (total absence of signal in the secondary) of only one of the main C.T's while the rest
behave correctly.
In our case, the equivalent circuit is shown in fig. 4. Here, the fault current provided by the rest of the current
transformers is divided between the totally saturated IX circuit and the ID differential circuit in an inversely
proportional way to the resistance of every circuit.
Thus, when the RE resistance value increases in the differential circuit, the differential current flowing
erroneously in case of saturation of a current transformer decreases. In the same way, when the K restraint
percent value increases, a greater differential current is allowed without providing a trip in the unit since VF
will increase.

3.3. SENSITIVITY EQUATION OF THE PERCENT RESTRAINT UNIT
From fig. 4 we may draw out the following equations.
I D = I FAULT − I X [9]
I D * RE = I X * RMAX [10]
From (1) and (2) we have:
I FAULT = I D + I D * ( RE / RMAX ) =
[11]
= I D * (1 + ( RE / RMAX ))
I F = I D * (1 + 2 * ( R E / RMAX )) [12]
I F = I FAULT + I X = I D * (1 + ( RE / RMAX )) + I D * ( RE / RMAX ) [13]
We find that the unit will produce an output (operate) when:
I D − K * I F ≥ 0.1
So:
[14]
I D ≥ K * I D * (1 + 2 * ( R E / RMAX ))
I D * (1 − K * (1 + 2 * ( RE / RMAX ))) ≥ 0.1 [15]
In the same way the unit does not operate when:
I D * (1 − K * (1 + 2 * ( RE / RMAX ))) < 0.1 [16]
For more security we can say that the unit will not trip if:
I D * (1 − K * (1 + 2 * ( R E / R MAX ))) < 0

OR
1 − K * (1 + 2 * ( R E / R MAX )) < 0
Thus:
1 < K * (1 + 2 * ( R E / RMAX )) [17]

RMAX < K * RMAX + 2 * K * RE [18]
From this we can finally deduce that:
RE > RMAX * (1 − K ) / 2 K [19]
2 * K * RE
RMAX < [20]
1− K

The RE has a fixed value set at 250 , so the RMAX value must be such that the below equation is
accomplished in order to avoid false operations with external faults, even in the worst saturation conditions
of the main C.T's
3.4. DIFFERENTIAL SUPERVISION UNIT
The supervision differential unit consists of a level detector with similar characteristics to that of the main
unit, to which is applied the VD voltage only, proportional to the differential current. Its operation threshold is
directly adjustable in Amps from 0.2 A to 2 A and independently from the K adjustment of the main unit (see
block diagram in figure 3).
The combination of both units described provides a great security to the protection, thus guarantying that
any failure of a component will not provide a non-desired trip to all the positions associated to the protected
bus. Both units must operate simultaneously so that a trip output is produced. In the case where due to a
failure only one of the units is operating incorrectly, the alarm unit described below will detect it, thus
providing a signalling output and the blocking of the protection.
3.5. ALARM UNIT
The alarm unit associated to the differential protection consists of a very sensitive overcurrent unit (0.027
amps) connected in series to the differential circuit through its own input transformers.
It is aimed at detecting unbalances in the differential circuit due to leaks or accidental disconnection of any of
the inputs to the measure unit. It is also provided with a circuit that detects discordance among the outputs
of the main measuring units and the outputs of the main measuring and supervision units.
The unit provides a timed output (10 seconds).
Figure 5 shows the block diagram.
3.6. LINE OVERCURRENT AND BREAKER FAILURE SUPERVISION UNITS
These units are optional and may belong to a complete BUS1000 system (current supervision only,
breaker failure only or both).
Figures 6 show the block diagrams of a double bus system with both functions for three-phase trip line
protection and single-phase trip respectively.
The units are connected in series to the inputs of every position of the bus differential (one for each position),
through their own input transducers and signal conditioning. Signals coming from each phase are combined
in a selection circuit of the larger before going on to the level detectors of the trip supervision unit (50) and of
the breaker failure unit (BF).
The breaker failure unit picks up its timer only when an external signal comes from line protection relays. In
the case of lines with single-phase trip protection, the level detector receives only signals from those phases
which have been tripped, in order to avoid the operation of the unit with the load current of the non faulted
phases. (See drawing 226B6429F20,21,22). Signals 89AY and 89BY provide information to the bus to which
the line is connected (double-bus systems), in order to lead the trip to the positions connected to the
corresponding bus.

3.7. TEST BOX
As an option, the bus differential protection may be provided with a testing element, whose aim is to
check the differential circuit operation (including the stabilization resistors) and the alarm and differential
units. These includes the following modules:
• DAL: Alarm board (one per bar).

• DDF: Differential boards (one per pole).
• DRD: Differential output module (one per bar).
• DDI: Differential unit input module (one per bar).
This element is provided with elements (latching relays: 3B/87) for the connection and disconnection of the
trip of the differential units (see drawing 22B6429F26).
3.7.1. DESCRIPTION
The test box unit is housed in a 19" rack and consists of the following elements:
• HLB100 (3B/87 in the schemes) latching relay (one for every differential). This relay inhibits the trips of
the corresponding differential units (see drawing 22B6429F26).
• HLA100 (3P/87 in the schemes) auxiliary relays (one for every differential). This relay is in charge of
introducing the test current in the corresponding differential unit (see drawing 22B6429F16).
• DPR test module. This module is provided with the following elements:
• Connection button (green color): This button operates on the HLB100 (3B/87) latching relay
allowing the trip output of the differential units.
• Disconnection button (red color): This button operates on the HLB100 (3B/87) latching relay
• Test button (white color): This button operates on the HLA100 (3P/87) auxiliary relay following
the below sequence:
a) Disconnection of the trips of the differential unit through the HLB100 (3B/87) latching relay (if
connected), while memorising whether it was connected or disconnected. Trips from the
breaker failure logic are not disconnected.
b) It blocks the reset of the HLB100 (3B/87) relay during the whole time the test is being carried
out and until all the elements which make up the trip circuits have been reset.
c) It operates on the HLA100 (3P/87) relay introducing the test current in the differential circuit.
d) When releasing the button, it carries out the opposite operation firstly disconnecting the test
current and connecting secondly (if it were memorised) the trips of the differential units, once
the trip circuits have been completely reset.
• AL, DIF selector switch: It allows for selection between the differential unit test and the alarm
unit test.
• Phase selector switch: It allows for selection of the phase to be tested.
• Current level selector switch: It allows for selection of three different test current levels.

3.7.2. OPERATION
The testing element, which may be optionally provided with bus differential protection, has been designed to
check the alarm and differential units, during maintenance.
In the alarm and differential units test it is not necessary to disconnect the protection through its OFF button.
The TEST button itself is, as a step prior to the application of test current, in charge of disconnecting the
trips and not allowing for reset until all the elements in the trip circuits have not been reset.
Bear in mind that while doing the test there will come out the Differential Tripping signalling caused by the
test, and the Blocking signalling. Do not forget to reset the alarm and the differential modules, whose LED
will lit as a probe that each unit has no problem.
3.7.3. DIFFERENTIAL UNITS TEST:
The differential units test will be carried out separately in every phase and with the current level
corresponding to the restraint measured in the protection measuring terminals.
Set the AL - DIF selector to the DIF position and we shall then select the phase to be tested and the level
corresponding to the restraint, with the appropriate switches.
Once the previous adjustments have been carried out, push the TEST button and check that the selected
unit has operated and the unit trip signalling the corresponding LED remains lit.
3.7.4. ALARM UNIT TEST:
The alarm unit test will be carried out separately in every phase. Set the AL - DIF switch to the AL position
and we shall then select the phase to be tested with the phase selector switch. In this case the test current is
fixed and does not depend on the current level selector switch.
Once the previous adjustments have been carried out, push the TEST button and do not release it until the
unit operates (usually 10 seconds). Check that the unit selected has operated and the unit trip signalling
LED remains on.

4. APPLICATION
4. APPLICATION
The BUS1000 system has been designed for bus protection in high voltage substations from 30 KV to 500
KV. Its main characteristics are:
• Short operation time, especially where fault levels are high, in order to minimise damage to the
switchgear and assist system stability. The BUS1000 is characterised by a high speed selective
detection and clearing of any fault produced in the protected area.
• Careful design to operate on internal faults. Busbar faults are rear, only by regular comprehensive
routine testing of the BUS1000 can the desired reliability be achieved.
• Remain stable during all external faults. Since many more faults occur externally to busbars than
internally, busbar protection is called upon to stabilise many more times than to operate. The protection
stability (correct operation with severe external faults that result in a saturation of one of the line current
transformers), is assured by selecting the adequate restraint percentage, depending only on the total
resistance of the saturated circuit seen from the relay.
• Discriminate correctly, that is decide on which section of the busbars the fault has occurred, and then
trip rapidly only those circuit breakers connected to that section.
• Immune from misoperation.
• The protection does not require the use of dedicated current transformers, neither need the latter
be of the same relation and characteristics for all the positions associated with the protected bus. Special
intermediate current transformers with the appropriate characteristics and relation are provided as part of
the protection system. This BUS1000 feature makes its application possible in existing facilities.
• The BUS1000 system is provided for its application in double bar arrangements with air switches per
each position, with latching relays. These relays type HLB connects the secondary currents of the
auxiliary CT's (1 Amp. rated current) to the input of its corresponding differential unit (the same bar to
which the position is connected.

4. APPLICATION
4.1. SELECTION GUIDE
In order to select adequately the protection system required, the following data must be considered:
• System frequency
• Auxiliary infeed voltage
• Bus disposition
• Transformer relation and characteristics (including burdens and cable lengths) of the current
transformers for each position
• Optional functions required:
• Position overcurrent supervision
• Breaker failure logic
• Tests system
• Housing in separate 19-inch racks or in complete cabinets.
4.2. CALCULATION OF SETTINGS
For a correct application of the BUS1000 protection system and selection of its adjustments, the following
points must be considered:
4.2.1. MAIN CURRENT TRANSFORMERS
The BUS1000 system does not require the use of dedicated current transformers for bus differential
protection. Current transformers with positions associated to busses may be of different types and ratios.
Check that the relation between the highest and lowest transformation ratios of the current
transformers associated with the protected bus is not greater than 10.
Check that the saturation voltage in every current transformer is at least equal to the quotient between 500 V
and the transformation ratio of the auxiliary transformer connected to it. For example, for a position with an
auxiliary transformer of a 5/1 ratio, the saturation voltage of the main current transformer must be equal or
greater than 100 Volts.
4.2.2. INTERMEDIATE AUXILIARY CURRENT TRANSFORMERS
The transformation ratio of the auxiliary transformers provided for every position must be selected in such a
way that the global transformation ratio (resulting from the relation of the main transformers multiplied by the
auxiliary transformers) for every position associated to the busses to be protected is the same.
The first step to be taken is to start with the position whose main transformer has the greatest ratio, selecting
the lowest possible ratio for its auxiliary transformer, but without overloading the input to the bus protection
relay (2 IN maximum).
As an example, for a bus whose positions are provided with current transformers with 1000/5, 600/5 and
300/5 ratios, 5/1.67, 5/1 and 5/0.5 ratios will be selected respectively. This selection will provide a 600/1
global ratio for bus protection and will result in a full load current of 1.67 amps for inputs corresponding to
the circuits with CT ratio of 1000/5 A (full load primary current of 1000 A).
Check that the total of the currents of all the positions applied to the differential protection in maximum
current conditions going through the busses is not above 20 I N.

4. APPLICATION
The auxiliary transformers must be placed preferably as near as possible from the main current
transformers, in order to reduce the cable resistance seen by the differential protection and thus allow a
lower stabilization resistance value or a lower restraint value. This arrangement also reduces the possibility
for an accidental opening of the main current transformers secondary circuit. Fig 17 represents the
secondary saturation characteristic of the auxiliary transformers.
4.2.3. MEASUREMENT OF K RESTRAINT PERCENTAGE
Figure 1 shows a simplified diagram of the differential unit and its operation with an internal fault.
Figure 3 shows the operation characteristic of the BUS1000 system percentage restraint differential unit,
whose equation is:
ID > K IF + 0.1
The K restraint percentage value is defined as the ratio between the current needed in the differential circuit
for the operation of the relay I D and the total in absolute values of all the currents in the I F relay input circuits
(not the current going through the bus).
This unit's sensitivity for internal faults (differential current equal to restraint current) depends on the K
adjustment selected according to the table:
K SENSITIVITY (A)
0.5 0.2
0.6 0.25
0.7 0.33
0.8 0.5
The selection of the K value is related, as will be shown below, to the RE (stabilization resistance in the
differential circuit, 250 Ω). The value of the K required for a complete stability of protection for external faults,
which may produce saturation in any of the current transformers.
The K value must be selected in order to obtain the required sensitivity for protection according to the fault 's
minimum current.
4.2.4. MEASUREMENT OF RMAX
Figure 9 shows a simplified diagram of the differential unit and its operation on an external fault that
produces saturation in the faulted line current transformer.
The selection of the adequate stabilization resistance value in the differential circuit and the operation
characteristic of the measuring unit percentage restraint, cause a lack of sensitivity in the protection in these
conditions if the following equation is true:
RMAX (1-K)
RE >-------------------
2K
RMAX being the total resistance seen from the relay terminal supposing the main current transformer is
completely saturated, for the most unfavourable position (greatest resistance value).
The measuring of RMAX must be done calculating the value of R for every position:
R = (RsTI + Rp)(NTIX)² + Rs
Where:
RsTI Secondary resistance of the main transformer

4. APPLICATION
Rp Total resistance (wires and other connected circuits)between the main transformer and the
auxiliary transformer
NTIX Transformation ratio of the auxiliary transformer
Rs Total resistance between the auxiliary transformer and the relay
The highest R value found will be considered as RMAX
R values can be determined through direct resistance measurements from the relay terminals, short-
circuiting the main current transformer secondary. It is recommended to include these measurements in the
protection set up guides.
RE = 250 Ω, then the values of RMAX should be:
RMAX < ( NTIX

-----------
NTGL
) 2
* 250 * KX
where:
KX = 2K/(1-K)
NTIX: Transformation ratio of the auxiliary transformer
NTGL: Global transformation ratio.
As described in the K RESTRAINT PERCENTAGE MEASUREMENT, if the calculation of the required RS

indicates a value above 250 (maximum protection range), the K adjustment value will be increased,
resulting in a modification of the protection sensitivity.
4.2.5. ADJUSTMENT OF THE SUPERVISION DIFFERENTIAL UNIT
The supervision unit included in the differential protection is an overcurrent unit independently adjustable
between 0.2 and 2 amps. Both the main differential unit and the supervision unit described must operate so
that the bus differential relay may trip.
This unit has a double purpose. Firstly, it provides the relay with security, thus avoiding any false trips which
may be produced in the case where one of its components should fail; and secondly, it makes it possible to
limit the sensitivity of the protection (for example, if the protection operation is to be avoided in the case
where the overcurrent transformer secondary circuit opens up) without modifying the restraint characteristics
of the main unit.
Should there be no need to limit the relay sensitivity, the adjustment of this unit must be equal to the
operation value of the main unit, determined be the selected K unit.

5. HARDWARE DESCRIPTION
WARNING
The BUS1000 module incorporates electronic components that might be affected by electrostatic
discharge currents flowing through certain component terminals. The main source of electrostatic
discharges is human body, especially under low humidity conditions, with carpet floors or isolating
shoes. If such conditions are present special care should be taken while manipulating BUS1000’s
modules and boards. Operators, before even touching any component, must make sure that their
bodies are not charged by either touching a grounded surface or by using an antistatic grounded
wrist bracelet.
The following hardware description is general, and includes those relevant aspects that are common to the
different equipment included in the BUS1000 system.
5.1. CABINETS
BUS1000 systems are provided in complete cabinets. They are made up of standard 19 inches wide and
four units high racks, fully wired to connecting blocks placed in the back. Connections between the different
cases are achieved only from their connecting blocks.
All the auxiliary elements, such as stabilization resistors, supply resistors, etc, are provided by the factory in
the cabinets, except for the intermediate adapting auxiliary transformers. These are provided separately for
their set-up near the main transformers, or in the boards to which their secondary currents are wired for
every position.
The cabinets are provided with a transparent front gate and a back gate, both removable for an easy access
to the cabinet during its installation.
Figure 23 shows the dimensions of the cabinets.

5.2. PANEL MOUNTED RACKS
The racks provided separately for the installation of BUS1000 board mounted systems are standard, 19
inches wide and their dimensions are shown in figure 22.
The external connections are provided in terminal blocks mounted in the rear part of the rack.
The front cover is made up of plastic material and fits over the case making pressure over a rubber joint
located around the enclosure. This produces a tight proof sealing avoiding the entrance of dust. The
resetting of the targets is achieved without having to take off the cover, through pushbuttons.
The modules provided with the various protection functions are assembled vertically on the racks. Several
types of modules are available depending on their type of installation and extractability.

5.3. MODULES
All the modules are identified by means of a number located in the front plate, which specifies its function
and characteristics.
The various configurations available in a bus protection system are carried out combining the number of
modular components requested in order to obtain the whole of the desired functions and the number of input
and output circuits requested. The BUS1000 is a flexible and modular system made up of the components
described below.
The different types of modules are:
NAME Description Width Draw-out

(single bus)
BPP Signalling reset module 2 NO
5.3.1. PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARDS
Each module consists of a printed circuit board with a front plate mounted on it through two supports. Over
this plate, there are two elements that fit into two nuts on the box that serve the purpose of pulling the
module out of the rack or pushing it into it.
The electrical connections are made through a male connector which fits into a female connector located in
the box.
5.3.2. OUTPUT MODULES
They are similar to the printed circuit modules except for their structure which consists of a metal plate for
the assembly of the output relays and other components. They also use a different connector.

5.3.3. NON- REMOVABLE MODULES
They are used for assembling current transformers input transducers and other components.
They consist of a plate which supports their various components and several connecting blocks with the rest
of the modules and with the system.
In order to remove these modules it is necessary to reach the rear part of the rack unscrewing its rear cover
and removing the screws which hold the module as well as removing the connecting blocks. The module is
drawn out though the front part of the rack. This operation has to be done with the protection system
completely out of service and with its current inputs short-circuited.
5.3.4. LATCHING AND AUXILIARY RELAYS
They are unpluggable with their own connection bases located and wired in the racks.
They are provided with their own transparent cover and are removed through the front part of the rack.
They must not be removed without having previously checked that the protection system is out of service
and that their current inputs are short-circuited, given that their contacts may be part of the secondary circuit
of the current intermediate transformers, which means that their removal could mean the opening of these
circuits; this would cause the protection to trip or it would cause the operation of the alarm units, as well as
possible permanent damage to the intermediate transformers.
5.3.5. FRONT SIDE DEVICES
Line current measuring terminals (FIG. 7)
They are located in the front plates of the restraint modules (DFI) . They consist of 2 or 3 rows of terminals
according to the number of restraint inputs (2 maximum). The lower terminals correspond to the references
of each phase and the upper terminals to the inputs in each line, per phase.
The a.c. voltage measured in these terminals corresponds to the current flowing through the line on the 1 A
side.
Measuring terminals of the total restraint currents (FIG. 8)
They are located on the front plate of the differential module (DDI), in the upper row. The terminals in the
lower row correspond to the reference, which is also common for the measurement of the differential
currents.
The continuous voltage measured in these terminals corresponds to 90% of the arithmetical sum of the
currents of all the lines in the 1 A side.
Differential trip signalling (FIG. 9)
It is done by means of a red LED located in the front part of the boards in every differential single-phase unit.
It is a continuous signalling and the reset is carried out manually by means of a push-button located in the
front part of the same board.
Signalling of operation of the alarm unit (FIG. 10)
It is done by means of three red LEDs (one for every phase) located in the front part of the board, in the
alarm unit.
The signalling is continuous and the reset is achieved by means of a push-button placed in the front part of
the board itself.

Operation level adjustment of the breaker failure unit (FIG. 11)
It is carried out by means of microswitches placed in the front part of the breaker failure board (SFI).
The minimum adjustment (all the microswitches placed at the left), is 0.2 A on the 1 A side, plus the number
corresponding to every microswitch located to the right. The unit adjustment ranges from 0.2 to 3.3 A on the 1
A side, in 0.1 steps.
Operation time adjustment of the breaker failure unit (FIG. 11)
It is carried out by means of microswitches placed in the front part of the breaker failure board (SFI).
The minimum adjustment (all the microswitches placed at the left) is 0.2 s, plus the number corresponding to
every microswitch, positioned to the right. The adjustment ranges from 0.1 to 1.6 s in 0.1 steps.
Operation level adjustment of the overcurrent unit (FIG. 11)
Two versions are available for the operation level of the overcurrent unit. In the first case, the level depends
on the level adjustment of the breaker failure unit, and in the second the level is totally independent.
Dependent adjustment:
It is done by means of microswitches placed in the front part of the breaker failure board (SFI).
The minimum adjustment (all the microswitches placed at the left) is 0.25 times the adjustment of the breaker
failure unit, plus the number corresponding to every microswitch, positioned to the right. The adjustment
ranges from 0.25 to 1 time, in 0.05 steps.
Independent adjustment:
The same as the operation level adjustment of the breaker failure unit.
Bus coupling timer adjustment
It is done by means of microswitches placed in the front part of the switching module (MDF).
The minimum adjustment (all the microswitches placed at the left) is 0.2 s, plus the number corresponding to
every microswitch, positioned to the right. The adjustment ranges from 0.2 to 1.7 s, in 0.1 steps.
Breaker failure trip signalling (FIG. 11)
It is done by means of a red LED placed in the front part of the boards, in every breaker failure unit.
This signalling is continuous and the reset is achieved manually through a push-button placed in the front
part of the board.
Operation signalling of the overcurrent unit (FIG. 11)
It is done by means of a red LED placed in the front part of the boards, in every breaker failure unit.
This signalling is not continuous and stops signalling when the unit is reset.

5.3.6. INTERNAL ADJUSTMENTS
Percent slope adjustment (FIG. 12)
It is placed in the differential board (DDF) and it is achieved by means of a Cambion jumper. The range
values are: 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, and 0.8

6. RECEIVING, HANDLING AND STORAGE
The systems are provided to the customer in a special packing unit that properly protects it during
transportation, provided it is done under normal conditions.
Immediately after receiving the equipment, the customer should check if there is any evidence of the system
having suffered damage during transportation. If injury or damage resulting from rough handling is evident,
file a damage claim at once with the Transportation Company and promptly notify the factory.
Reasonable care should be exercised in unpacking the relay in order not to lose the accessories provided in
the box.
If the equipment is not going to be installed immediately, it is convenient to store it in its original packing, in a
place free from moisture and dust.
It is important to check that the inscription on the nameplate matches the data in the order.
6.1. ACCEPTANCE TESTS AND EQUIPMENT CALIBRATION
It is recommended, once the equipment is received, that a visual inspection and the tests given below be
performed to make sure that the relay has not suffered any damage in transportation and the factory
calibration has not been altered.
In the description of each test instructions for the calibration of every measuring unit are included. The units
must only be readjusted if the values measured are beyond the indicated tolerance limits.
The tests described in chapter 12, can be carried out as installation or acceptance tests, depending on the
criteria of the user. Since most users have different procedures for installation and acceptance tests, this
section explains all the tests that can be performed on the systems.


7. ACCEPTANCE TESTS
7. ACCEPTANCE TESTS
7.1. VISUAL INSPECTION
Check that the model or models indicated in the plates match the data given in the order. Unpack the
equipment and check there are no broken parts and no signs that the system has suffered any damage
during transportation.
7.2. ELECTRIC TEST
General Considerations on the Power Supply Network and the Measuring Equipment
The bus protection equipment has been calibrated in the factory using a 50 and 60 Hz network with a
minimum content of harmonics. In order to achieve consistent results, the tests must be carried out using a
power supply network whose wave shape does not contain harmonics.
The dc auxiliary infeed voltage used for tests must not be obtained with rectified a.c. because if this power
supply is not properly smooth, it is possible the measuring units do not operate correctly due to possible
voltage drops in the power source. Zener diodes, for example, may stop conducting because of power
supply voltage drops. As general rule, the dc power supply must not have a ripple higher than 5%.
The ammeters and chronometers used must be calibrated and their precision must be better than that of the
relay. The power supply network used in the tests must remain stable, mainly in the levels near the operation
thresholds and during the whole operation time of the relay.
It is important to point out that the accuracy with which the test is performed depends on the network and on
the instruments used. Functional tests performed with unsuitable power supply network and instruments are
useful to check that the relay operates properly and therefore its operating characteristics are verified in an
approximate manner. However, if the relay would be calibrated in these conditions, its operational
characteristics would be outside the tolerance range values.
7.3. STABILIZATION RESISTORS TEST
− Check the value in Ohms of the stabilization resistor for every phase.
− Adjust the resistors “correderas" to obtain the resistance value calculated for the operation, and check the
value in Ohms once the "correderas" bolts have been screwed.
7.4. AUXILIARY CURRENT TRANSFORMERS TEST
− Check the transformation ratio in the different taps, according to the model.
− Apply 300 Va.c. volts to the transformer secondary, with the primary opened and check that the current
consumption ranges between 30 and 60 miliamperes.

8.1. SETPOINTS OF THE DIFFERENTIAL PROTECTION.
In each phase (A, B, C) there are two setpoints that must be accomplished
1. The value of K: If there is no high resistance consideration of loop or other, the value that it must of be
adopted is that of K = 0.8. With this have a sensibility of 0.33 In.
2. The value of the supervision circuit:

• Value of the minimal short circuit current is inferior to In. The adjustment will be the minimum possible. In
this way the sensibility will be determined by the value of K.
• Value of the minimal short circuit current is sensibly superior to In. The value of the supervision current, it
is preferable to adjust it 1.5, to avoid the tripping of the protection in case of one of current circuits is
broken or short-circuited, and thus to give the alarm unit time to act and block the trips. Evidently, in this
last case the sensibility is determined by the supervision unit, but is earned in safety.
8.2. SETPOINTS OF THE BREAKER FAILURE
• Current level adjustment: The minimum level should be at least 150% of the maximum nominal current.
Bear in mind that to calculate this value it must be considered the global ratio of the Substation or Power
• Time setting: This value must be inferior to the time set for zone 2 of the distance relays or of the
backup protections of the power transformers. The value must also be higher than the trip time of the
main protections (zone 1), plus the opening time of the associated breaker, plus a safety margin (i.e., if
zone 2 is set to 500 ms., the breaker failure will be adjusted in 300 ms - have assumed a tripping time of
distance relay in zone 1 of 30 ms. and a breaker time of 80 ms.).
8.3. INSTALLATION
All the units must be mounted in vertical surface which allows access to the front and rear sides of the
equipment. It is not necessary to have access to the lateral surfaces of the equipment mounted.
8.4. PREVIOUS CHECK
Check that the equipment has not suffered any damage during transportation and that its characteristics
and adjustments have not been altered
Check that the ratios of the auxiliary transformers are accurate according to the selected global ratio. (See
figures from 226B6429H1 to 226B6429H8)
Measure for each line and phase the total impedance of the loop on the 1 A side, from the protection input
leads, shorting the main transformer s secondary.
Check that the maximum value obtained in the measurements is less than:
Rmax < (2K/1-K) *RE
Where:
Rmax: Max. resistance measured

RE: Stabilization resistance (250 ÿ)
K: Adjusted slope

8. FINAL INSTALLATION AND COMMISSIONING
Leave the current circuits of the main transformers secondaries shorted until these currents are applied to
the differential protection.
8.5. ARRANGEMENT AND PRELIMINARY LEADS
• Check that the values of each of the Stabilization Resistance measured 250 ÿ.
• Short out the Stabilization Resistance.
• Disconnect the trips that go from the differential busbar protection and breaker failure protection, to the
circuit breakers of the Substation or Power Plant. It should be done by disconnecting the physical
elements (cables), or by the use of switching terminal boards .
• Check that all the leads are down except for the d.c. power supply X1(+)-X2 (-) and X7(+)-x8(-) for the
control of the bar connection and disconnection of the feeders.
• Disconnect the two differentials through their OFF buttons.
8.6. TESTS WITHOUT LOAD
Carry out the acceptant test described in chapter 11.
Take into account that terminals mentioned in this chapter are referred to the set of drawings 226B6429. For
each scheme, depending on the arrangement of the substation or power plant, and the needs of each utility,
the identification and number of the terminals may defer from the ones that appear in 226B6429.
8.7. TESTS WITH LOAD

The objective of this test with real load, is to verify if the protection is correctly balanced: the sum of all the
currents in the differential circuit is zero (0.0mV), and that all the polarities are correct.
This test uses the real currents that go through each circuit. Trips must be disconnected, for the differential
units it will be enough to push the red button, but for the breaker failure protection check that all the tripping
output terminals are brought down, so any mistake during the tests, will not cause a problem in the
Substation.
Connect feeder by feeder to differential A and verify:
• The magnitude of the current of restrain is increasing and corresponds to the sum of the absolute values
of all the currents connected to it.
• The differential current will increase or decrease weather the line currents are compensated or not.
• The voltage (ac) measured at the front of the panel DFI is proportional to the input current.
Upon connecting the last circuit, the value of differential voltage must be of the order of 0.0 mV, 3 milivolt as
maximum (upper values, indicate that there is a wrong connection). The alarm unit should be able to reset by
pushing the reset button, the LEDs on the DAL module should be off.
Now transfer all the feeders, one by one to differential B following the same steps as above, and check the
magnitudes of the current restrain and the differential current.
Upon connecting the last circuit, the value of differential voltage must be of the order of 0.0 mV, 3 milivolt as
maximum (upper values, indicate that there is a wrong connection). The alarm unit should be able to reset by
pushing the reset button, the LEDs on the DAL module should be off.
• Arrange the differential according to the actual arrangement of the Substation, and check that the entire
alarm unit can be reset (no LED is on), and that the LEDs on the DDF modules are also off.

8. FINAL INSTALLATION & COMMISSIONING
• Connect the two differentials through their ON buttons.
• Check that the only LED that is on is the green one.
• Remove the jumpers from the Stabilising Resistors.
-NOTE: The alarm units in the differentials will remain operated during installation, until all the currents are
compensated.
For the measures of the voltage is sufficient the use of in digital multimeter with the range and precision of
milivolt.
8.8. OPERATION CRITERIA
Please make sure that the short circuit of the stabilization resistors is disconnected before at the end of the
tests.
A very extended criterion is not to connect immediately the trips, but to maintain this situation within a period
enhance between 6 months to 1 year (depending on the weather conditions and the customs of the utility).
This procedure is based on the importance of not having an undesired trip. Whose origin may be caused by
various sources: mistake of some polarity in a current circuit, auxiliary contacts of disconnector switches that
they do not are operating correctly, some loose cable, etc.). Therefore is preferred to have the protection in
service under real operation environment during a period of test, but unable to trip, although it will give all the
signals to the control panels.
Once this period has finished and the performance of the protection is considered as appropriated, the trips
should be connected.

8. FINAL INSTALLATION AND COMMISSIONING

9. TESTS AND PERIODICAL MAINTENANCE
Given the importance of the protection relays in the operation of any equipment, a periodical test program is
recommended.
The interval between periodical tests varies normally for different types of relays, types of equipment as well
as the users’ experience on periodical tests.
For systems which are not provided with testing equipment, it is recommended that the points described in
CALIBRATION AND RECEIVING TESTS be checked every 1 or 2 years.
The optional equipment described in previous sections, allows for checking on the correct operation of the
measure and alarm units and of the output elements, without having to remove the protection. In systems
provided with testing equipment, this check can be carried out in short intervals, and does not require
specialised personnel. In this case the frequency of the tests described in RECEIVING AND EQUIPMENT
CALIBRATION can be reduced
