1 Model information

Manufacturer AEG

Model PD932

Variants The AEG PD932 PowerFactory relay model can be used to simulate the AEG PD932
- 401 relay firmware version. However please consider that the model has been implemented
with a reduced set of the features available in the relays.

Minimum requirements PowerFactory V 14.1

2 General description

The AEG PD932 distance protection devices are used for selective short-circuit protection in high-
voltage systems. The systems can be operated as impedance grounded, resonant-grounded
or isolated-neutral systems. The multitude of protection functions incorporated into the unit
enable the user to cover a wide range of applications in the protection of cable and line sections,
transformers and motors.

The AEG PD932 PowerFactory relay models consist of a main relay model and the following
three sub relays:

• BUOC (backup overcurrent function)

• DTOC+IDMT (phase, ground and negative sequence overcurrent function)

• VmM (voltage function)

The following model versions are available:

• PD932-1A
• PD932-5A

The AEG PD932 PowerFactory relay models have been implemented trying to simulate the most
commonly used protective functions.

The main relay contains the measurement and acquisition units, the starting element, the
polarizing elements, the directional element for the distance elements, the reclosing element, the
circular impedance and the polygonal distance elements, a set of timers, the output logic and the
sub relay.

The model implementation has been based on the information available in the relay manuals [1].

3 Supported features

3.1 Measurement and acquisition

The voltage and the current are measured by one three phase current transformer (”Ct” block)
and one three phase voltage transformer (”Vt” block).

Three measurement units (”Measurement”, ”Delta Measurement” and ”V seq Measurement”

block) are fed by this CT and this VT.

3.1.1 Available Units and Input Signals

• One three phase current transformers (”Ct” block).

• One three phase voltage transformer (”Vt” block).
• One three phase measurement element calculating both the current and voltage values
(”Measurement” block).

• One three phase measurement element calculating the phase to phase currents and the
phase to phase voltages (”Delta Measurement” block).
• One three phase measurement element calculating the voltage sequence vectors (”V seq
Measurement” block)

3.1.2 Functionality

The input current and voltage values are sampled at 24 samples/cycle. The average values are
processed by a DFT filter, operating over a cycle, which then calculates the voltage and current
values used by the protective elements.

The ”Delta Measure” block calculates the current and voltage ph-ph values used by the phase-
phase loop distance elements.

3.1.3 Data input

The nominal current and the nominal voltage values MUST be entered in all the measurement
blocks.

3.2 Main Relay protective elements

The starting element, the polarizing element,the directional element, the circular impedance
and the polygonal distance elements are working together to simulate the AEG PD932 distance
functionalities. An additional over voltage element is simulating the Displacement Voltage Time
Protection function.

3.2.1 Available Units

• One starting unit implementing the fault detection logic (”Starting” block).
• One directional element (”Dir-Z” block).
• One polarizing block (’Polarizing” block).

• Four circular impedance distance elements (”Z1Mho”, ”Z2Mho”, ”Z3Mho” and ”Z4Mho”
block).
• Four polygonal distance elements (”PPZ1”, ”PPZ2”, ”PPZ3” and ”PPZ4” block )
• Six timers (”T1”, ”T2”, ”T3”, ”T4”, ”T5” and ”T6” block )

• One reclosing element (”Reclosing” block)

• One overvoltage element (”VN >>” block)

3.2.2 Functionality

Starting element The AEG PD932 relay model starting element (”Starting” block) simulates
the relay fault detection functions; the following logics are supported:

• Overcurrent
• Undervoltage

• Underimpedance
• Earth (always active)

The "Fault loop settings" feature is also available. The Overcurrent and the Undervoltage starting
logic can be enabled or disabled by the user.

Directional element The directional element (”Dir-Z” block) is controlling both the phase-phase
and the phase-ground loops. The directional angles are fixed and the element is modeling in
detail the behavior of the relay directional function.

Polarizing element The polarizing element is calculating the voltage vectors used by the
directional element. The voltage memory is activated when the voltage RMS value drops below
15% Un, the memory lasts for 2 seconds.

AEG PD932 Version: 002 6

3 Supported features

Circular impedance elements The circular impedance elements implement an impedance

circle with the center in the axes origin;the Arc compensation additional area is also available.
The elements get the phase-phase and the phase-ground loop impedance values from the
Polarizing block and check that the impedance point is inside the circle and the arc extension
area; in that case they activate the output signal after that time delay provided by the associated
timer is expired.

Polygonal impedance elements The polygonal impedance elements implement a quadrilat-

eral shape with different resistance reach for the phase-phase and the phase-ground loops. The
elements get the phase-phase and the phase-ground loop impedance values from the Polarizing
block and check that the impedance point is inside the quadrilateral; in that case they activate
the output signal after that time delay provided by the associated timer is expired.

Timers The timers start counting the time as soon that a fault has been detected by the Starting
element (”ystart” output signal). Four timers (”T1”, ”T2”, ”T3” and ”T4”) are associated to the
circular impedance and polygonal elements. The remaining timers can be used to trigger a
delayed backup trip:

• the ”T5” output signal is evaluated by the output logic together with ”ystart”, output signal of
the ”Starting” block. When both are on a trip command is sent to the power breaker.
• the ”T6” output signal is evaluated by the output logic alone. When the ”T6” output signal is
on a trip command is sent to the power breaker.

Recloser The reclosing element can be set to trigger a variable number of reclosing attempts.
Different dead times can be set for the first reclosing attempt (high speed reclosing) and for the
following attempts. If the high speed reclosing is not used the dead times must be set identical
and equal to time delay reclosing dead time. Only the 3 phase reclosing logic is supported.

Over voltage element The over voltage element is a definite time residual over voltage element
simulating the Displacement Voltage Time Protection relay function.

3.6 Output logic

The output logic is the interface between the relay and the power system. A set of relay output
signals can be used to simulate the control logics.

3.6.1 Available Units

The trip logic is implemented by the ”Logic” block located in the main relay. The ”Closing Logic”
block controlled by the reclosing feature (”Reclosing” block) has the purpose of generating a
closing command for the power breaker when a reclosing attempt is triggered.

3.6.2 Functionality

The ”Logic” block located in the main relay has the task to operate the power breaker when a trip
command has been issued by any protective element.
The output signals which is used to operate the breaker is ”yout”. The following relay output
signals and relevant logics are also available:

• Z1TRIP (connected to the 1st distance polygonal zone trip signal)

• Z2TRIP (connected to the 2nd distance polygonal zone trip signal)
• Z3TRIP (connected to the 3rd distance polygonal zone trip signal)

• Z5TRIP (connected to the ”T5” timer output signal and to the starting element start signal)
• Z6TRIP (connected to the ”T6” timer output signal)
• START (connected to the starting element start signal)

The ”Logic” block implements a three phases trip logic.

3.6.3 Data input

Please disable the ”Logic” block in the main relay to disable the relay model ability to open the
power circuit.
