ADDENDUM

This addendum explains firmware differences in the instruction manual for the D30.
PHASE DISTANCE FAULT TYPE CHARACTERISTICS
Phase distance fault type characteristics were slightly changed between minor version 7.21 and 7.24 firmware releases to
allow phase distance operation during some unusual cases, where spurious I_0 can be present during fault. This adden-
dum explains the difference in the firmware implementation for the following releases.
a) FIRMWARE 7.21
For phase distance following fault-type characteristic are applied.
FLGAB= ~(AG OR BG) OR I0< max(0.02 pu, I2/16, I1/16)
FLGBC= ~(BG OR CG) OR I0< max(0.02 pu, I2/16, I1/16)
FLGCA= ~(CG OR AG) OR I0< max(0.02 pu, I2/16, I1/16)
where
"~" means inverse operation
I0 is the zero sequence current magnitude
I2 is the negative sequence current magnitude
AG, BG, CG are ground distance single-line-to-ground (SLG) fault-type signatures, explained in the Fault-Type Characteris-
tic section in the Theory of Operation chapter
This means that fault-type characteristic for the phase distance is confirmed, if there is no SLG fault in the corresponding
loop or if zero-sequence current is relatively small, which is true for phase-to-phase or three-phase fault. Phase distance
fault type supervision is suppressed during open pole conditions.

b) FIRMWARE 7.24 AND 7.25


Version 7.24 added additional angle between I_1 and I_2 along with I_1 and I_2 level detectors. I_1 phasor is obtained by
subtracting pre-fault positive sequence current I1mem from the fault positive sequence current.
θ12=ang(I1)-ang(I2), limit angle 45°
PKP_I0= I0>max(0.02 pu, I2/16, I1/16)
PKP_I2= I2>max(0.02 pu, I0/16, I1/16)
PKP_I1= abs(I1(k)- I1mem )>0.05pu
FLG 3P= PKP_I1 & NOT PKP_I2
For the ABC, rotation phase distance fault type characteristics applied are as follows:
FLGAB= ~(FLG5A OR FLG5B) OR [abs(θ12+60°)<45° AND (PKP_I0 OR PKP_I2)] OR PS_3P
FLGBC= ~(FLG5B OR FLG5C) OR [abs(θ12+180°)<45° AND (PKP_I0 OR PKP_I2)] OR PS_3P
FLGCA= ~(FLG5C OR FLG5A) OR [abs(θ12+300°)<45° AND (PKP_I0 OR PKP_I2)] OR PS_3P
This means that the first check is if the ground elements fault-type comparator, explained in the Fault-Type Characteristic
section in the Theory of Operation chapter, does not operate in the corresponding distance loop. Second, the angle
between (I_1 - I_1mem) and I_2 is checked to be within 45° in the corresponding phase distance loop. I_1mem is the pre-
fault positive sequence current, which is updated with the actual I_1 phasor of two cycles before fault. Upon 50DD asser-
tion, I_1mem stops updating and is sealed-in for 500 ms. In case any phase distance zone is picked-up after this 500 ms
seal-in timer expires, I_1mem continues to be held until either all phase distance zones drop out or for three seconds after
any zone is still picked up. After that, I_1mem is updated again. Lastly, condition for the three-phase fault is checked.
Phase distance fault type supervision is suppressed during open pole conditions.

c) FIRMWARE 7.26
In order to improve phase distance fault type supervision especially during complex faults and to give user flexibility to dis-
able fault type supervision, following is applicable in this release.
Fault type supervision is designed to ensure dependability of the phase distance operation. It uses first voltages and then
currents to ensure giving permission to phase distance for any fault. First the SLG fault type is determined by detecting one
phase voltage depressed while two others are not by using the following equation.
SLG= (VA_LOW & NOT VB_LOW & NOT VC_LOW) OR (NOT VA_LOW & VB_LOW & NOT VC_LOW) OR
ADDENDUM

(NOT VA_LOW & NOT VB_LOW & VC_LOW)


where
VA_LOW = |V_A + V_0| < 0.98 *VBC/√3, similarly for B and C phases
Additionally multi-phase fault is determined if at least 2 phases are below 85% of the nominal:
M-PH= (VA < 0.85pu & VB < 0.85pu) OR (VB < 0.85pu & VC < 0.85pu) OR ( VC< 0.85pu & VA < 0.85pu)
Permission is always granted to phase distance by setting FLGAB, FLGBC and FLGCA flags to logic '1', unless following
condition is satisfied:
PKP_I0 & PKP_I2 & SLG & NOT M-PH,
meaning that if there are negative- and zero-sequence currents present in the fault signal, voltage signatures indicate pres-
ence of the SLG fault and not multi-phase fault. If at least one of these conditions is not satisfied, permission to be contin-
ued granted to all phase distance loop.
But in case this condition is satisfied, angles between I_0 and I_2 are additionally checked to still grant permission to the
phase distance loops, shown below for the ABC rotation.
If abs[ang(I_0)-ang(I_2)+120°] <70°, then FLGAB=1,
If abs[ang(I_0)-ang(I_2)+240°] <70°, then FLGCA=1,
If abs[ang(I_0)-ang(I_2)] <70°, then FLGBC=1,
Phase distance fault type supervision is suppressed during open pole conditions and for delta connected VTs.
Fault type supervision is applied to phase distance zone1 to zone 3 only with an option to disable fault type supervision by
setting phase distance zone 5 Voltage level setting to non-zero-value (regardless zone 5 is enabled or not). G60 and L60
relays are not employing fault type supervision for the phase distance in all zones.

1 GETTING STARTED 1.2 UR OVERVIEW

1.2UR OVERVIEW 1.2.1 INTRODUCTION TO THE UR

The GE Universal Relay (UR) series is a new generation of digital, modular, and multifunction equipment that is easily
1
incorporated into automation systems, at both the station and enterprise levels.

1.2.2 HARDWARE ARCHITECTURE

a) UR BASIC DESIGN
The UR is a digital-based device containing a central processing unit (CPU) that handles multiple types of input and output
signals. The UR device can communicate over a local area network (LAN) with an operator interface, a programming
device, or another UR device.

Input elements CPU module Output elements


Contact inputs Protective elements Contact outputs
Pickup
Virtual inputs Virtual outputs
Dropout
Analog inputs Operate Analog outputs

VT inputs table Logic Gates table - IEC 61850

Remote inputs
Direct inputs Direct outputs

LAN

Programming Operator
device interface

827822A3.CDR

Figure 1–2: UR BLOCK DIAGRAM


The CPU module contains firmware that provides protection elements in the form of logic algorithms, as well as program-
mable logic gates, timers, and latches for control features.
Input elements accept a variety of analog or digital signals from the field. The UR isolates and converts these signals into
logic signals used by the relay.
Output elements convert and isolate the logic signals generated by the relay into digital or analog signals that are used to
control field devices.
The unit and software are backwards-compatible with UR devices.

b) UR SIGNAL TYPES
The contact inputs and outputs are digital signals associated with connections to hard-wired contacts. Both ‘wet’ and ‘dry’
contacts are supported.
The virtual inputs and outputs are digital signals associated with UR-series internal logic signals. Virtual inputs include
signals generated by the local user interface. The virtual outputs are outputs of FlexLogic™ equations used to customize
the device. Virtual outputs can also serve as virtual inputs to FlexLogic equations.
The analog inputs and outputs are signals that are associated with transducers, such as Resistance Temperature Detec-
tors (RTDs).
The CT and VT inputs are analog current transformer and voltage transformer signals used to monitor AC power lines.
The UR-series relays support 1 A and 5 A CTs.
The remote inputs and outputs provide a means of sharing digital point state information between remote UR-series
devices. The remote outputs interface to the remote inputs of other UR-series devices. Remote outputs are FlexLogic oper-
ands inserted into IEC 61850 GSSE and GOOSE messages.

GE Multilin D30 Line Distance Protection System 1-3


1.2 UR OVERVIEW 1 GETTING STARTED

The direct inputs and outputs provide a means of sharing digital point states between a number of UR-series intelligent

1 electronic devices (IEDs) over dedicated fiber, RS422, or G.703 interface. No switching equipment is required as the IEDs
are connected directly in a ring or redundant (dual) ring configuration. This feature is optimized for speed and intended for
pilot-aided schemes, distributed logic applications, or the extension of the input/output capabilities of a single relay chassis.

1.2.3 SOFTWARE ARCHITECTURE

Firmware is the software embedded in the relay in functional modules that can be installed in any relay as required. This is
achieved with object-oriented design and programming (OOD/OOP) techniques.
Object-oriented techniques involve the use of objects and classes. An object is defined as “a logical entity that contains
both data and code that manipulates data.” A class is the generalized form of similar objects. By using this approach, one
can create a protection class with the protection elements as objects of the class, such as time overcurrent, instantaneous
overcurrent, current differential, undervoltage, overvoltage, underfrequency, and distance. These objects represent com-
pletely self-contained software modules. The same object-class concept can be used for metering, input/output control,
software interface, communications, or any functional entity in the system.
Employing OOD/OOP in the software architecture of the D30 achieves the same features as the hardware architecture:
modularity, scalability, and flexibility. The application software for any UR-series device (for example, feeder protection,
transformer protection, distance protection) is constructed by combining objects from the various functional classes. This
results in a common interface across the UR series.

1.3.6 SETTING UP CYBERSENTRY AND CHANGING DEFAULT PASSWORD

If and when first using CyberSentry security, use the following procedure for set up.
1
1. Log in to the relay as Administrator by using the Value keys on the front panel or through EnerVista connected serially
(so that no IP address is required). If logging in through EnerVista choose Device authentication. Enter the default
password "ChangeMe1#". Note that the "Lock relay" setting needs to be disabled in the Security > Supervisory
menu. When this setting is disabled, configuration and firmware upgrade are possible. By default, this setting is dis-
abled.
2. Enable the Supervisor role if you have a need for it.
3. Make any required changes in configuration, such as setting a valid IP address for communication over Ethernet.
4. Log out of the Administrator account by choosing None.
Next, device or server authentication can be chosen on the login screen, but the choice is available only in EnerVista. Use
device authentication to log in using the five pre-configured roles (Administrator, Supervisor, Engineer, Operator, Observer,
or Administrator and Supervisor when device authentication is disabled). When using a serial connection, only device
authentication is supported. When server authentication is required, characteristics for communication with a RADIUS
server must be configured on the UR. This is possible only through the EnerVista software. The RADIUS server itself also
must be configured. The appendix called RADIUS Server gives an example of how to setup a simple RADIUS server. Once
both the RADIUS server and the parameters for connecting UR to the server have been configured, you can choose server
authentication on the login screen of EnerVista.
Figure 1–9: LOGIN SCREEN FOR CYBERSENTRY

During the commissioning phase, you have the option to bypass the use of passwords. Do so by enabling the BYPASS
ACCESS setting under SETTINGS > PRODUCT SETUP > SECURITY > SUPERVISORY. Be sure to disable this bypass setting after
commissioning the device.
You can change the password for any role either from the front panel or through EnerVista.
If using EnerVista, navigate to Settings > Product Setup > Security. Change the Local Administrator Password, for
example. It is strongly recommended that the password for the Administrator be changed from the default. Changing the
passwords for the other three roles is optional.

1.5.7 COMMISSIONING

The D30 requires minimal maintenance after it is commissioned into service. Since the D30 is a microprocessor-based
1
relay, its characteristics do not change over time. As such, no further functional tests are required. Expected service life is
20 years for UR devices manufactured June 2014 or later when applied in a controlled indoors environment and electrical
conditions within specification.
The D30 performs a number of continual self-tests and takes the necessary action in case of any major errors (see the
Relay Self-tests section in chapter 7). However, it is recommended that D30 maintenance be scheduled with other system
maintenance. This maintenance can involve in-service, out-of-service, or unscheduled maintenance.
In-service maintenance:
1. Visual verification of the analog values integrity, such as voltage and current (in comparison to other devices on the
corresponding system).
2. Visual verification of active alarms, relay display messages, and LED indications.
3. LED test.
4. Visual inspection for any damage, corrosion, dust, or loose wires.
5. Event recorder file download with further events analysis.
Out-of-service maintenance:
1. Check wiring connections for firmness.
2. Analog values (currents, voltages, RTDs, analog inputs) injection test and metering accuracy verification. Calibrated
test equipment is required.
3. Protection elements setting verification (analog values injection or visual verification of setting file entries against relay
settings schedule).
4. Contact inputs and outputs verification. This test can be conducted by direct change of state forcing or as part of the
system functional testing.
5. Visual inspection for any damage, corrosion, or dust.
6. Event recorder file download with further events analysis.
7. LED Test and pushbutton continuity check.
Unscheduled maintenance, such as a disturbance causing system interruption:
1. View the event recorder and oscillography or fault report for correct operation of inputs, outputs, and elements.
If it is concluded that the relay or one of its modules is of concern, contact GE Multilin for service.

2 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 2.1 INTRODUCTION

2 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 2.1INTRODUCTION 2.1.1 OVERVIEW

The D30 Line Distance Protection System is a microprocessor-based relay intended for use on transmission lines of any
voltage level, without, with, and in the vicinity of series compensation, in three-pole tripping applications. The primary func-
tion of the relay consists of five phase and ground distance zones of protection, either mho or quadrilateral as per user
selection. The distance elements are optimized to provide good measurement accuracy with a fast operating time, even
when used with capacitive voltage transformers, and can be supervised by detection of power swings. The relay also pro-
vides directional ground overcurrent elements, which are commonly used as part of an overall line protection system.
2
D30 phase distance zones can be configured to work with voltages and currents fed from VTs and CTs located indepen-
dently from one another on either side of a three-phase power transformer. The relay compensates accordingly to preserve
reach and correct target information regardless of the location and type of fault. This feature allows backup protection appli-
cations for generators and power transformers.
A close-into-fault (or switch-on-to-fault) function is performed by the line pickup element. Out-of-step tripping, three-pole
autoreclosing, synchrocheck, fault location, and many other functions are also available. In addition, overcurrent and
undervoltage protection, fault diagnostics, power metering, and RTU functions are provided. The D30 provides phase, neu-
tral, and ground time overcurrent protection. The time overcurrent functions can be programmed with multiple curve shapes
or FlexCurve™ for optimum coordination.
Voltage, current, and power metering is built into the relay as a standard feature. Current parameters are available as total
waveform RMS magnitude, or as fundamental frequency only RMS magnitude and angle (phasor).
Diagnostic features include an event recorder capable of storing 1024 time-tagged events, oscillography capable of storing
up to 64 records with programmable trigger, content and sampling rate, and data logger acquisition of up to 16 channels,
with programmable content and sampling rate. The internal clock used for time-tagging can be synchronized with an IRIG-
B signal, using the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) over the Ethernet port, or using the Precision Time Protocol
(PTP). This precise time stamping allows the sequence of events to be determined throughout the system. Events can also
be programmed (via FlexLogic™ equations) to trigger oscillography data capture which may be set to record the measured
parameters before and after the event for viewing on a personal computer (PC). These tools significantly reduce trouble-
shooting time and simplify report generation in the event of a system fault.
Several options are available for communication. A faceplate RS232 port can be used to connect to a computer for the pro-
gramming of settings and the monitoring of actual values. The RS232 port has a fixed baud rate of 19.2 kbps. The rear
RS485 port allows independent access by operating and engineering staff. It can be connected to system computers with
baud rates up to 115.2 kbps. All serial ports use the Modbus RTU protocol. The IEC 60870-5-103 protocol is supported on
the RS485 interface. IEC 60870-5-103, DNP, and Modbus cannot be enabled simultaneously on this interface. Also only
one of the DNP, IEC 60870-5-103, and IEC 60870-5-104 protocols can be enabled at any time on the relay. When the IEC
60870-5-103 protocol is chosen, the RS485 port has a fixed even parity and the baud rate can be either 9.6 kbps or 19.2
kbps. The 100Base-FX or 100Base-T Ethernet interface provides fast, reliable communications in noisy environments. The
Ethernet port supports IEC 61850, Modbus/TCP, and TFTP protocols, PTP (according to IEEE Std. 1588-2008 or IEC
61588), and allows access to the relay via any standard web browser (D30 web pages). The IEC 60870-5-104 protocol is
supported on the Ethernet port. The Ethernet port also supports the Parallel Redundancy Protocol (PRP) of IEC 62439-3
(clause 4, 2012) when purchased as an option.
Settings and actual values can be accessed from the front panel or EnerVista software.
The D30 IEDs use flash memory technology which allows field upgrading as new features are added. The following single
line diagram illustrates the relay functionality using ANSI (American National Standards Institute) device numbers.

2.1.2 SECURITY

The following security features are available:


• Password security — Basic security present in the default offering of the product
• EnerVista security — Role-based access to various EnerVista software screens and configuration elements. The fea-
ture is available in the default offering of the product and only in the EnerVista software.
• CyberSentry security — Advanced security options available as a software option. When purchased, the options are
automatically enabled, and the default Password security and EnerVista security are disabled.
Changing the password, or any other setting, does not take the relay out of service. The relay is taken out of service when
a settings file is written to it.
a) ENERVISTA SECURITY
The EnerVista security management system is a role-based access control (RBAC) system that allows an administrator to
manage the privileges of multiple users. This allows for access control of UR devices by multiple personnel within a substa-
tion and conforms to the principles of RBAC as defined in ANSI INCITS 359-2004. The EnerVista security management
system is disabled by default to allow the administrator direct access to the EnerVista software after installation. It is recom-
mended that security be enabled before placing the device in service.
Basic password or enhanced CyberSentry security applies, depending on purchase.

b) PASSWORD SECURITY
Password security is a basic security feature present in the default offering of the product.
Two levels of password security are provided: command and setting.
The following operations are under command password supervision:
• Operating the breakers via faceplate keypad
• Changing the state of virtual inputs
• Clearing the event records
• Clearing the oscillography records
• Clearing fault reports
• Changing the date and time
• Clearing the breaker arcing current
• Clearing the data logger
• Clearing the user-programmable pushbutton states
The following operations are under setting password supervision:
• Changing any setting
• Test mode operation

GE Multilin D30 Line Distance Protection System 2-3


2.1 INTRODUCTION 2 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The D30 supports password entry from a local or remote connection. Local access is defined as any access to settings or
commands via the faceplate interface. This includes both keypad entry and the through the faceplate RS232 port. Remote
access is defined as any access to settings or commands via any rear communications port. This includes both Ethernet
and RS485 connections. Any changes to the local or remote passwords enables this functionality.
When entering a settings or command password via EnerVista or any serial interface, the user must enter the correspond-
ing connection password. If the connection is to the back of the D30, the remote password must be used. If the connection
is to the RS232 port of the faceplate, the local password applies.
2 Password access events are logged in the Event Recorder.

c) CYBERSENTRY SECURITY
CyberSentry Embedded Security is a software option that provides advanced security services. When this option is pur-
chased, the basic password security is disabled automatically.
CyberSentry provides security through the following features:
• An Authentication, Authorization, Accounting (AAA) Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) client that
is centrally managed, enables user attribution, provides accounting of all user activities, and uses secure standards-
based strong cryptography for authentication and credential protection.
• A Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) system that provides a permission model that allows access to UR device oper-
ations and configurations based on specific roles and individual user accounts configured on the AAA server (that is,
Administrator, Supervisor, Engineer, Operator, Observer).
• Security event reporting through the Syslog protocol for supporting Security Information Event Management (SIEM)
systems for centralized cybersecurity monitoring.
• Strong encryption of all access and configuration network messages between the EnerVista software and UR devices
using the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol, the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), and 128-bit keys in Galois Counter
Mode (GCM) as specified in the U.S. National Security Agency Suite B extension for SSH and approved by the
National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) FIPS-140-2 standards for cryptographic systems.
CYBERSENTRY USER ROLES
CyberSentry user roles (Administrator, Engineer, Operator, Supervisor, Observer) limit the levels of access to various UR
device functions. This means that the EnerVista software allows for access to functionality based on the user’s logged in
role.
Example: Administrative functions can be segmented away from common operator functions, or engineering type access,
all of which are defined by separate roles, as shown in the following figure, so that access of UR devices by multiple per-
sonnel within a substation is allowed.

The EnerVista software allows access to functionality that is determined by the user role, which comes either from the local
UR device or RADIUS server.

2 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 2.1 INTRODUCTION

The EnerVista software has a device authentication option on the login screen for accessing the UR device. When the
"Device" button is selected, the UR uses its local authentication database and not the RADIUS server to authenticate the
user. In this case, it uses its built-in roles (Administrator, Engineer, Supervisor, Observer, Operator, or Administrator and
Supervisor when Device Authentication is disabled) as login names and the associated passwords are stored on the UR
device. As such, when using the local accounts, access is not user-attributable.
In cases where user attributable access is required especially to facilitate auditable processes for compliance reasons, use
RADIUS authentication only.
When the "Server" Authentication Type option is selected, the UR uses the RADIUS server and not its local authentication 2
database to authenticate the user.
No password or security information are displayed in plain text by the EnerVista software or UR device, nor are they ever
transmitted without cryptographic protection.
CyberSentry Server Authentication
The UR has been designed to automatically direct authentication requests based on user names. In this respect, local
account names on the UR are considered as reserved, and not used on a RADIUS server.
The UR automatically detects whether an authentication request is to be handled remotely or locally. As there are only five
local accounts possible on the UR, if the user ID credential does not match one of the five local accounts, the UR automat-
ically forwards the request to a RADIUS server when one is provided.
If a RADIUS server is provided, but is unreachable over the network, server authentication requests are denied. In this situ-
ation, use local UR accounts to gain access to the UR system.

2.1.3 IEC 870-5-103 PROTOCOL

IEC 870-5-103 is a companion standard to IEC 870-5 suit of standards for transmission protocols. It defines messages and
procedures for interoperability between protection equipment and devices of a control system in a substation for communi-
cating on a serial line.
The IEC 60870-5-103 is an unbalanced (master-slave) protocol for coded-bit serial communication, exchanging information
with a control system. In the context of this protocol, the protection equipment is the slave and the control system is the
master. The communication is based on a point to point principle. The master must be able to interpret the IEC 60870-5-
103 communication messages.
The UR implementation of IEC 60870-5-103 consists of the following functions:
• Report binary inputs
• Report analog values (measurands)
• Commands
• Time synchronization
The RS485 port supports IEC 60870-5-103.

2.3SIGNAL PROCESSING 2.3.1 UR SIGNAL PROCESSING

The UR series relays are microprocessor-based protective relays that are designed to measure power system conditions
directly via CT and PT inputs and via other sources of information, such as analog inputs, communications inputs and con-
tact inputs. The following figure shows the overall signal processing in URs.
An analog low pass anti-aliasing filter with a 3 dB corner frequency is set at 2.4 kHz and is used for current and voltage
analog filtering as well as signal conditioning. The same filtering is applied for phase, ground currents, phase-to-phase
(when applicable), and auxiliary voltages. The 2.4 kHz cut-off frequency applies to both 50 Hz and 60 Hz applications and 2
fixed in the hardware, and thus is not dependent on the system nominal frequency setting.

Figure 2–3: UR SIGNAL PROCESSING


The UR samples its AC signals at 64 samples per cycle, that is, at 3840 Hz in 60 Hz systems, and 3200 Hz in 50 Hz sys-
tems. The sampling rate is dynamically adjusted to the actual system frequency by an accurate and fast frequency tracking
system.
The A/D converter has the following ranges of AC signals:
Voltages:

± 2 ⋅ 260 ( V ) (EQ 2.1)

Currents:

GE Multilin D30 Line Distance Protection System 2-15


2.3 SIGNAL PROCESSING 2 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

± 2 ⋅ 46rated ( A ) (EQ 2.2)

Current harmonics are estimated based on raw samples with the use of the full-cycle Fourier filter. Harmonics 2nd through
25th are estimated.
True RMS value for the current is calculated on a per-phase basis. The true RMS can be used for demand recording or as
an input signal to Time Overcurrent function, if the latter is intended for thermal protection. The true RMS is calculated as
per the widely accepted definition:
2 t

I RMS ( t ) = --1- 
2
i ( t ) dt (EQ 2.3)
T
(t – T)

RMS values include harmonics, inter-harmonics, DC components, and so on, along with fundamental frequency values.
The true RMS value reflects thermal effects of the current and is used for the thermal related monitoring and protection
functions.
Protection and control functions respond to phasors of the fundamental and/or harmonic frequency components (magni-
tudes and angles), with an exception for some functions that have an option for RMS or fundamental measurements, or
some function responding to RMS only. This type of response is explained typically in each element's section in the instruc-
tion manual.
Currents are pre-filtered using a Finite Impulse Response (FIR) digital filter. The filter is designed to reject DC components
and low-frequency distortions, without amplifying high-frequency noise. This filter is referred to as a modified MIMIC filter,
which provides excellent filtering and overall balance between speed and accuracy of filtering. The filter is cascaded with
the full-cycle Fourier filter for the current phasor estimation.
Voltages are pre-filtered using a patented Finite Impulse Response (FIR) digital filter. The filter has been optimized to reject
voltage transformers specific distortions, such as Capacitive Voltage Transformer (CVT) noise and high-frequency oscilla-
tory components. The filter is cascaded with the half-cycle Fourier filter for the voltage phasor estimation.
The URs measure power system frequency using the Clarke transformation by estimating the period of the waveform from
two consecutive zero-crossings in the same direction (negative-to-positive). Voltage or current samples are pre-filtered
using a Finite Impulse Response (FIR) digital filter to remove high frequency noise contained in the signal. The period is
used after several security conditions are met, such as true RMS signal must be above 6% nominal for a certain time and
others. If these security conditions are not met, the last valid measurement is used for a specific time after which the UR
reverts to nominal system frequency.
Synchrophasors are calculated using a patented convolution integral algorithm. This algorithm allows use of the same time
stamped samples, which are used for protection and taken at the same sampling frequency. This allows URs to use one
sampling clock for both protection algorithms and synchrophasors.
Synchrophasors on firmware versions 7.23 and up have been tested and certified to meet IEEE C.37.118-2011 and
C.37.118.1a-2014 standards for both metering and protection classes with outputs available up to 60 synchrophasors per
second for the metering class and 120 synchrophasors per second for the protection class. Synchrophasors measurement
are also available via IEC 61850-90-5 protocol.
Contact inputs threshold is settable in the firmware with 17, 33, 84, 166 VDC settings available. Inputs are scanned every
0.5 ms and can be conditioned for the critical applications, using debounce time timer, settable from 0.0 ms to 16.0 ms.
Contact inputs with auto-burnishing are available as well, when external contacts are exposed to the contamination in a
harsh industrial environment.
All measured values are available in the UR metering section on the front panel and via communications protocols. Mea-
sured analog values and binary signals can be captured in COMTRADE format with sampling rates from 8 to 64 samples
per power cycle. Analog values can be captured with Data Logger, allowing much slower rates extended over long period of
time.
Other advanced UR order code options are available to support IEC 61850 Ed2.0 (including fast GOOSE, MMS server,
61850 services, ICD/CID/IID files, and so on), IEEE 1588 (IEEE C37.238 power profile) based time synchronization, Cyber-
Sentry (advanced cyber security), the Parallel Redundancy Protocol (PRP), IEC 60870-5-103, and so on.

3 HARDWARE 3.1DESCRIPTION 3.1.1 PANEL CUTOUT

a) HORIZONTAL UNITS
The D30 Line Distance Protection System is available as a 19-inch rack horizontal mount unit with a removable faceplate.
The faceplate can be specified as either standard or enhanced at the time of ordering. The enhanced faceplate contains
additional user-programmable pushbuttons and LED indicators.
The modular design allows the relay to be easily upgraded or repaired by a qualified service person. The faceplate is
hinged to allow easy access to the removable modules, and is itself removable to allow mounting on doors with limited rear
depth.
The case dimensions are shown below, along with panel cutout details for panel mounting. When planning the location of

b) VERTICAL UNITS
The D30 Line Distance Protection System is available as a reduced size (¾) vertical mount unit, with a removable face-
plate. The faceplate can be specified as either standard or enhanced at the time of ordering. The enhanced faceplate con-
tains additional user-programmable pushbuttons and LED indicators.
The modular design allows the relay to be easily upgraded or repaired by a qualified service person. The faceplate is
hinged to allow easy access to the removable modules, and is itself removable to allow mounting on doors with limited rear
depth.
The case dimensions are shown below, along with panel cutout details for panel mounting. When planning the location of
your panel cutout, ensure that provision is made for the faceplate to swing open without interference to or from adjacent
equipment.
The relay must be mounted such that the faceplate sits semi-flush with the panel or switchgear door, allowing the operator
access to the keypad and the RS232 communications port. The relay is secured to the panel with the use of four screws
supplied with the relay.

WARNING
The small form-factor pluggable ports (SFPs) are pluggable transceivers. Do not use non-validated
NOTICE transceivers or install validated transceivers in the wrong Ethernet slot, else damage can occur.

The relay follows a convention with respect to terminal number assignments which are three characters long assigned in
order by module slot position, row number, and column letter. Two-slot wide modules take their slot designation from the
first slot position (nearest to CPU module) which is indicated by an arrow marker on the terminal block. See the following

Filter networks and transient protection clamps are used in the hardware to prevent damage caused
NOTICE by high peak voltage transients, radio frequency interference (RFI), and electromagnetic interference
(EMI). These protective components can be damaged by application of the ANSI/IEEE C37.90 spec-
ified test voltage for a period longer than the specified one minute.

3.2.3 CONTROL POWER

Control power supplied to the relay must be connected to the matching power supply range of the
NOTICE relay. If voltage is applied to the wrong terminals, damage can occur.
The D30 relay, like almost all electronic relays, contains electrolytic capacitors. These capacitors are
well-known to deteriorate over time if voltage is not applied periodically. Deterioration can be avoided
by powering up the relay at least once a year.
The power supply module can be ordered for two possible voltage ranges, and the UR can be ordered with or without a
redundant power supply module option. Each range has a dedicated input connection for proper operation. The ranges are
as shown below (see the Specifications section of chapter 2 for details):
• Low (LO) range: 24 to 48 V (DC only) nominal.
• High (HI) range: 125 to 250 V nominal.
The power supply module provides power to the relay and supplies power for dry contact input connections.
The power supply module provides 48 V DC power for dry contact input connections and a critical failure relay (see the
Typical wiring diagram earlier). The critical failure relay is a form-C device that is energized once control power is applied
and the relay has successfully booted up with no critical self-test failures. If on-going self-test diagnostic checks detect a
critical failure (see the Self-test Errors section in chapter 7) or control power is lost, the relay is de-energize.
For high reliability systems, the D30 has a redundant option in which two D30 power supplies are placed in parallel on the
bus. If one of the power supplies become faulted, the second power supply assumes the full load of the relay without any
interruptions. Each power supply has a green LED on the front of the module to indicate it is functional. The critical fail relay
of the module also indicates a faulted power supply.

3.2.4 CT/VT MODULES

A CT/VT module can have voltage or current inputs on channels 1 through 4 inclusive, or channels 5 through 8 inclusive.
Channels 1 and 5 are intended for connection to phase A, and are labeled as such in the relay. Likewise, channels 2 and 6
are intended for connection to phase B, and channels 3 and 7 are intended for connection to phase C.
Channels 4 and 8 are intended for connection to a single-phase source. For voltage inputs, these channel are labelled as
auxiliary voltage (VX). For current inputs, these channels are intended for connection to a CT between system neutral and
ground, and are labelled as ground current (IG).
Verify that the connection made to the relay terminals for nominal current of 1 A or 5 A matches the
NOTICE secondary rating of the connected CTs. Unmatched CTs can result in equipment damage or inade-
quate protection.
To connect the module, size 12 American Wire Gauge (AWG) is commonly used; the maximum size is 10 AWG.
CT/VT modules can be ordered with a standard ground current input that is the same as the phase current input. Each AC
current input has an isolating transformer and an automatic shorting mechanism that shorts the input when the module is
withdrawn from the chassis. There are no internal ground connections on the current inputs. Current transformers with 1 to
50000 A primaries and 1 A or 5 A secondaries can be used.
CT/VT modules with a sensitive ground input are also available. The ground CT input of the sensitive ground modules is 10
times more sensitive than the ground CT input of standard CT/VT modules. However, the phase CT inputs and phase VT
inputs are the same as those of regular CT/VT modules.
The above modules have enhanced diagnostics that can automatically detect CT/VT hardware failure and take the relay
out of service.
CT connections for both ABC and ACB phase rotations are identical as shown in the Typical wiring diagram.
The exact placement of a zero-sequence core balance CT to detect ground fault current is shown as follows. Twisted-pair
cabling on the zero-sequence CT is recommended.

3.2.5 PROCESS BUS MODULES

The D30 can be ordered with a process bus interface module. This module is designed to interface with the GE Multilin
HardFiber system, allowing bidirectional IEC 61850 fiber optic communications with up to eight HardFiber merging units,
known as Bricks. The HardFiber system has been designed to integrate seamlessly with the existing UR-series applica-
tions, including protection functions, FlexLogic, metering, and communications.
The IEC 61850 process bus system offers the following benefits:
• Reduces labor associated with design, installation, and testing of protection and control applications using the D30 by
reducing the number of individual copper terminations
• Integrates seamlessly with existing D30 applications, since the IEC 61850 process bus interface module replaces the
traditional CT/VT modules
• Communicates using open standard IEC 61850 messaging
For additional details on the HardFiber system, see GE publication GEK-113658: HardFiber Process Bus System Instruc-
tion Manual.

3.2.6 CONTACT INPUTS AND OUTPUTS

Every contact input/output module has 24 terminal connections. They are arranged as three terminals per row, with eight
rows in total. A given row of three terminals can be used for the outputs of one relay. For example, for form-C relay outputs,
the terminals connect to the normally open (NO), normally closed (NC), and common contacts of the relay. For a form-A
output, there are options of using current or voltage detection for feature supervision, depending on the module ordered.
The terminal configuration for contact inputs is different for the two applications.
The contact inputs are grouped with a common return. The input/output modules have two versions of grouping: four inputs
per common return and two inputs per common return. When a contact input/output module is ordered, four inputs per com-
mon is used. If the inputs must be isolated per row, then two inputs per common return should be selected (4D module).
The tables and diagrams on the following pages illustrate the module types (6A, etc.) and contact arrangements that can be
ordered for the relay. Since an entire row is used for a single contact output, the name is assigned using the module slot
position and row number. However, since there are two contact inputs per row, these names are assigned by module slot
position, row number, and column position.
3
Some form-A / solid-state relay outputs include circuits to monitor the DC voltage across the output contact when it is open,
and the DC current through the output contact when it is closed. Each of the monitors contains a level detector whose out-
put is set to logic “On” when the current in the circuit is above the threshold setting. The voltage monitor is set to “On” when
there is a voltage across open contact (the detector allows a current of about 1 to 2.5 mA), and the current monitor is set to
“On” when the current flowing through the closed contact exceeds about 80 to 100 mA. The voltage monitor is intended to
check the health of the overall trip circuit, and the current monitor can be used to seal-in the output contact until an external
contact has interrupted current flow. If enabled, the current monitoring can be used as a seal-in signal to ensure that the
form-A contact does not attempt to break the energized inductive coil circuit and weld the output contacts.
Block diagrams are shown as follows for form-A and solid-state relay outputs with optional voltage monitor, optional current
monitor, and with no monitoring. The actual values shown for contact output 1 are the same for all contact outputs. Form-A
contact output with or without a current or voltage monitoring option is not polarity sensitive. The polarity shown in the figure
is required for solid-state contact output connection.

3.2 WIRING 3 HARDWARE

The operation of voltage and current monitors is reflected with the corresponding FlexLogic operands (CONT OP # VON,
CONT OP # VOFF, and CONT OP # ION) which can be used in protection, control, and alarm logic. The typical application of
the voltage monitor is breaker trip circuit integrity monitoring; a typical application of the current monitor is seal-in of the
control command.
See the Digital Elements section of chapter 5 for an example of how form-A and solid-state relay contacts can be applied
for breaker trip circuit integrity monitoring.
Consider relay contacts unsafe to touch when the unit is energized.
WARNING
USE OF FORM-A AND SOLID-STATE RELAY OUTPUTS IN HIGH IMPEDANCE CIRCUITS

NOTE For form-A and solid-state relay output contacts internally equipped with a voltage measuring circuit across the con-
tact, the circuit has an impedance that can cause a problem when used in conjunction with external high input
3 impedance monitoring equipment such as modern relay test set trigger circuits. These monitoring circuits may con-
tinue to read the form-A contact as being closed after it has closed and subsequently opened, when measured as
an impedance.
The solution is to use the voltage measuring trigger input of the relay test set, and connect the form-A contact
through a voltage-dropping resistor to a DC voltage source. If the 48 V DC output of the power supply is used as a
source, a 500 Ω, 10 W resistor is appropriate. In this configuration, the voltage across either the form-A contact or
the resistor can be used to monitor the state of the output.
Wherever a tilde “~” symbol appears, substitute with the slot position of the module; wherever a number sign “#”
appears, substitute the contact number
NOTE

When current monitoring is used to seal-in the form-A and solid-state relay contact outputs, the Flex-
NOTICE Logic operand driving the contact output should be given a reset delay of 10 ms to prevent damage
of the output contact (in situations when the element initiating the contact output is bouncing, at val-
ues in the region of the pickup value).

CONTACT INPUTS
A dry contact has one side connected to terminal B3b. This is the positive 48 V DC voltage rail supplied by the power sup-
ply module. The other side of the dry contact is connected to the required contact input terminal. Each contact input group
has its own common (negative) terminal which must be connected to the DC negative terminal (B3a) of the power supply
module. When a dry contact closes, a current of 1 to 3 mA flows through the associated circuit.
A wet contact has one side connected to the positive terminal of an external DC power supply. The other side of this contact
is connected to the required contact input terminal. If a wet contact is used, then the negative side of the external source
must be connected to the relay common (negative) terminal of each contact group. The maximum external source voltage
for this arrangement is 300 V DC.
The voltage threshold at which each group of four contact inputs detects a closed contact input is programmable as
17 V DC for 24 V sources, 33 V DC for 48 V sources, 84 V DC for 110 to 125 V sources, and 166 V DC for 250 V sources.

NOTE

There is no provision in the relay to detect a DC ground fault on 48 V DC control power external output. We recommend
using an external DC supply.
GENERAL APPLICATION CONSIDERATIONS
Contacts outputs of protective relays, auxiliary contacts from breakers, disconnectors and other devices, are generally con-
nected to contacts inputs of protective relays. In some situations, the contact outputs of some protective relays can have
high impedance connected across it. When such a contact output is connected across a D30 contact input, it can spuri-
ously operate the D30 input even when the output is open, if there is a substantial distributed capacitance (represented by
C1) present in the wiring between the output and the D30 input and the debounce time setting in the D30 relay is low
enough. This false assertion of the contact input, when there is inadvertent ground present at the DC positive terminal, can
be prevented by inserting a resistor across the D30 input.
The following figure shows a typical DC circuit, with battery ground detection, of contact input. The contact output has par-
allel impedance across it (represented by R1).

3-18 D30 Line Distance Protection System GE Multilin


3 HARDWARE 3.2 WIRING

Figure 3–18: TYPICAL CONTACT INPUT DC CIRCUIT


The presence of the impedance path (R1) across the contact output allows the stray (distributed) capacitance C1 to charge
as shown, thus developing a voltage across the contact input enough to momentarily operate the input while the capaci-
tance discharges in the presence of DC ground on the positive terminal of the battery.
The duration of the discharge depends on the value of the distributed capacitance, the initial voltage of the distributed
capacitance, and the input impedance of the contact input. If the duration is greater than the debounce time setting, then
the contact input operates.
The application example that follows describes how to mitigate this problem by connecting a resistor across the contact
input, as shown in the next figure, or by adjusting the debounce time setting to a value greater than the discharge time to
prevent spurious operation of the contact input only if the voltage (with output open) across the contact input due to trickle
current is less than the threshold voltage. This operation of contact inputs also can be prevented by using the Auto-Burnish
contact inputs or contact inputs with active impedance.

3.2 WIRING 3 HARDWARE

APPLICATION EXAMPLE
This example is for illustrative purposes only and the calculations present the worst-case scenario. In practice, the value of
debounce time can be lower.
Contact input ON state impedance used in the calculation of the discharge period is based on the following table.
Table 3–3: DISCHARGE PERIOD
BATTERY VOLTAGE (V) INPUT IMPEDANCE (KΩ)
130 50
250 97

Debounce time setting = 2 ms


Assume a stray capacitance of 0.1 μF.
3 Assume an initial voltage across the stray capacitance "Vinitial" = 19 V (Vthreshold - 65 V), where Vthreshold = 84 V. The
initial voltage Vinitial depends on values of impedance of R1 and contact inputs when the contact input is OFF (non-acti-
vated state).
Therefore, discharge time constant (τ) =50 kΩ *0.1 μF = 5 ms.
Discharge period t is calculated from the following equation:
Vthreshold = (Vbatt - VInitial) *e^ (-t/τ)
84 = -149 *e^ (t/0.005) (EQ 3.1)
T = -0.005 * ln (84/149) = 0.0029 s
Therefore, in this example the contact inputs operate.
To prevent this operation, the debounce time must be increased to 4 ms (set debounce time as per the following table) or
insert a resistor less than or equal to "R" as calculated later.
Table 3–4: TYPICAL DEBOUNCE TIME SETTING
STRAY CAPACITANCE (μF) BATTERY VOLTAGE (V) DEBOUNCE TIME (MS)
0.05 130 2
0.1 130 4
0.2 130 6
0.05 250 3
0.1 250 6
0.2 250 11

The value of this resistor "R" is calculated as follows:


1. Determine the minimum voltage (V threshold) required to turn on the input. This is determined by direct measurement
or referenced in the input specifications.
2. Calculate the resistance necessary to limit the voltage to 1/3 V threshold (when the contact is OFF, the non-activated
state) as follows:
R = (Vthreshold / 3) / (2 mA) (EQ 3.2)
The 2 mA current is used in case the contact input is connected across the GE Form A contact output with voltage
monitoring. Otherwise use the amperage of the active circuit connected to the contact input when its contact output is
open and the voltage across the contact input is third trigger threshold to calculate the resistor value.
3. When the contact is ON (operate state), the battery voltage appears across the resistor. The wattage rating of the
resistor is then:
PR = 1.3 * (Vbatt) ^2 / R Watts (EQ 3.3)
4. Applying the following equation to our example:
R = 84 V / 3*(1 / 2 mA) = 14 kΩ
PR = 1.57 Watts (EQ 3.4)
5. Calculating the voltage across the contact input with the Burden Resistor, Voltage across the contact Input:

3-20 D30 Line Distance Protection System GE Multilin


3 HARDWARE 3.2 WIRING

Vresistor = 2 mA * 14 Kohm = 28 V
Vresistor < contact input threshold (84 V) (EQ 3.5)
In conclusion, in this example, the contact input does NOT operate falsely with the Burden Resistor across its input AND
when a battery ground is present.

USE OF CONTACT INPUTS WITH AUTO-BURNISHING


The contact inputs sense a change of the state of the external device contact based on the measured current. When exter-
nal devices are located in a harsh industrial environment (either outdoor or indoor), their contacts can be exposed to vari-
ous types of contamination. Normally, there is a thin film of insulating sulfidation, oxidation, or contaminates on the surface
of the contacts, sometimes making it difficult or impossible to detect a change of the state. This film must be removed to
establish circuit continuity – an impulse of higher than normal current can accomplish this.
The contact inputs with auto-burnish create a high current impulse when the threshold is reached to burn off this oxidation
layer as a maintenance to the contacts. Afterwards the contact input current is reduced to a steady-state current. The
impulse has a 5 second delay after a contact input changes state.

Figure 3–20: CURRENT THROUGH CONTACT INPUTS WITH AUTO-BURNISHING


Regular contact inputs limit current to less than 3 mA to reduce station battery burden. In contrast, contact inputs with auto-
burnishing allow currents up to 50 to 70 mA at the first instance when the change of state was sensed. Then, within 25 to
50 ms, this current is slowly reduced to 3 mA as indicated above. The 50 to 70 mA peak current burns any film on the con-
tacts, allowing for proper sensing of state changes. If the external device contact is bouncing, the auto-burnishing starts
when external device contact bouncing is over.
Another important difference between the auto-burnishing input module and the regular input modules is that only two con-
tact inputs have common ground, as opposed to four contact inputs sharing one common ground (refer to the Contact Input
and Output Module Wiring diagrams). This is beneficial when connecting contact inputs to separate voltage sources. Con-
sequently, the threshold voltage setting is also defined per group of two contact inputs.
The auto-burnish feature can be disabled or enabled using the DIP switches found on each daughter card. There is a DIP
switch for each contact, for a total of 16 inputs.

burnish functionality using an oscilloscope.
NOTE

USE OF CONTACT INPUTS WITH ACTIVE IMPEDANCE


Contact inputs susceptible to parasitic capacitance caused by long cable runs affected by switching surges from external
circuits can result in inadvertent activation of contact inputs with the external contact open. In this case, GE recommends
using the digital I/O module with active impedance circuit.
Active impedance contact input can tolerate external cable capacitance of up to 0.2 µF, without entering the ON state for
more than 2 ms. The contact input debounce time can still be set above 2 ms for added security to prevent contact input
activations cause by external transient ON states.
An active impedance contact input is normally in Low impedance mode during OFF contact state (non-activated condition).
During Low impedance state contact input impedance is maintained at 10 K Ohms impedance to allow fast discharge of the
stray capacitance of the long cables.
3
When the contact input voltage exceeds the set threshold, active impedance maintains 10 K Ohms impedance value. If
voltage starts rapidly decreasing, this indicates that stray capacitance is being discharged through the contact input. If,
however, voltage stabilizes above the set threshold, the input impedance is switched to High impedance mode of 100 K
Ohms. This value reduces the input current to <3 mA, and contact input switched to the ON state (operated state).
The figure shows the active impedance contact input V-I characteristic. Different thresholds with their corresponding char-
acteristics are shown by color. The contact input is in the ON (operated) state if the input voltage is to the right of the col-
ored threshold band (+/-10% tolerance), and the contact input is in the OFF (non-activated) state when input voltage is to
the left of the band. A contact input is in LOW state during non-operated system condition, and actively switches to HIGH
state upon detection of input voltage above the settable threshold.

3.2.7 TRANSDUCER INPUTS/OUTPUTS

Transducer input modules can receive input signals from external DCmA output transducers (DCmA In) or resistance tem-
perature detectors (RTDs). Hardware and software are provided to receive signals from these external transducers and
convert these signals into a digital format for use as required.
Transducer output modules provide DC current outputs in several standard DCmA ranges. Software is provided to config-
ure virtually any analog quantity used in the relay to drive the analog outputs.
Every transducer input/output module has a total of 24 terminal connections. These connections are arranged as three ter-
minals per row with a total of eight rows. A given row can be used for either inputs or outputs, with terminals in column "a"
having positive polarity and terminals in column "c" having negative polarity. Since an entire row is used for a single input/
output channel, the name of the channel is assigned using the module slot position and row number.
Each module also requires that a connection from an external ground bus be made to terminal 8b. The current outputs
require a twisted-pair shielded cable, where the shield is grounded at one end only. The following figure illustrates the trans-
ducer module types (5A, 5C, 5D, 5E, and 5F) and channel arrangements that can be ordered for the relay.
Wherever a tilde “~” symbol appears, substitute with the slot position of the module.

b) RS485 PORTS
RS485 data transmission and reception are accomplished over a single twisted pair with transmit and receive data alternat-
ing over the same two wires. Through the use of the port, continuous monitoring and control from a remote computer,
SCADA system, or PLC is possible.
To minimize errors from noise, the use of shielded twisted pair wire is recommended. Correct polarity must also be
observed. For instance, the relays must be connected with all RS485 “+” terminals connected together, and all RS485 “–”
terminals connected together. Though data is transmitted over a two-wire twisted pair, all RS485 devices require a shared
reference, or common voltage. This common voltage is implied to be a power supply common. Some systems allow the
shield (drain wire) to be used as common wire and to connect directly to the D30 COM terminal (#3); others function cor-
rectly only if the common wire is connected to the D30 COM terminal, but insulated from the shield.

3.2 WIRING 3 HARDWARE

To avoid loop currents, ground the shield at only one point. If other system considerations require the shield to be grounded
at more than one point, install resistors (typically 100 ohms) between the shield and ground at each grounding point. Each
relay needs to be daisy-chained to the next one in the link. A maximum of 32 relays can be connected in this manner with-
out exceeding driver capability. For larger systems, additional serial channels must be added. It is also possible to use com-
mercially available repeaters to have more than 32 relays on a single channel. Avoid star or stub connections entirely.
Lightning strikes and ground surge currents can cause large momentary voltage differences between remote ends of the
communication link. For this reason, surge protection devices are internally provided at both communication ports. An iso-
lated power supply with an optocoupled data interface also acts to reduce noise coupling. To ensure maximum reliability, all
equipment should have similar transient protection devices installed.

3.2.10 IRIG-B

IRIG-B is a standard time code format that allows stamping of events to be synchronized among connected devices. The
IRIG-B code allows time accuracies of up to 100 ns. Using the IRIG-B input, the D30 operates an internal oscillator with 1
µs resolution and accuracy. The IRIG time code formats are serial, pulse width-modulated codes that can be either DC
level shifted or amplitude modulated (AM). The GE MultiSync 100 1588 GPS Clock as well as third-party equipment are
available for generating the IRIG-B signal; this equipment can use a global positioning system (GPS) satellite system to
obtain the time reference so that devices at different geographic locations can be synchronized.

3.3DIRECT INPUT/OUTPUT COMMUNICATIONS 3.3.1 DESCRIPTION

The direct inputs and outputs feature makes use of the type 7 series of communications modules, which allow direct mes-
saging between UR devices. These communications modules are outlined in the table later in this section.
The communications channels are normally connected in a ring configuration as shown in the following figure. The trans-
mitter of one module is connected to the receiver of the next module. The transmitter of this second module is then con-
nected to the receiver of the next module in the ring. This is continued to form a communications ring. The figure illustrates
a ring of four UR-series relays with the following connections: UR1-Tx to UR2-Rx, UR2-Tx to UR3-Rx, UR3-Tx to UR4-Rx,
and UR4-Tx to UR1-Rx. A maximum of 16 URs can be connected in a single ring

Figure 3–29: DIRECT INPUT AND OUTPUT SINGLE CHANNEL CONNECTION


IRC modules with protocol C37.94 and G.703 are designed for back-to-back communication connections, so the ring con-
figuration shown in the previous figure does not apply. To establish inter-relay communication in more than two URs, you
need to have two channel IRC module and enable DIRECT I/O CHANNEL CROSSOVER function in all relays, as shown in
the next figure. This configuration can be expanded to 16 URs, and this configuration does not provide redundancy ring
since both channels are made into single ring by the channel crossover function. As per the figure Typical Pin Interconnec-
tion between Two G.703 Interfaces later in this chapter, the clock is supplied typically by multiplexer (MUX) and all URs are
in Loop Timing Mode. If there is no MUX, then UR1 and UR3 can be in Internal Timing Mode and UR2 and UR4 can be in
Loop Timing Mode. That is, connected channels must have opposite timing modes.

The interconnection for dual-channel type 7 communications modules is shown as follows. Two channel modules allow for
a redundant ring configuration. That is, two rings can be created to provide an additional independent data path. The
required connections are: UR1-Tx1 to UR2-Rx1, UR2-Tx1 to UR3-Rx1, UR3-Tx1 to UR4-Rx1, and UR4-Tx1 to UR1-Rx1
for the first ring; and UR1-Tx2 to UR4-Rx2, UR4-Tx2 to UR3-Rx2, UR3-Tx2 to UR2-Rx2, and UR2-Tx2 to UR1-Rx2 for the

NOTE

AWG 24 twisted shielded pair is recommended for external connections, with the shield grounded only at one end. Con-
necting the shield to pin X1a or X6a grounds the shield since these pins are internally connected to ground. Thus, if pin X1a

b) G.703 SELECTION SWITCH PROCEDURES


1. With the power to the relay off, remove the G.703 module (7R or 7S) as follows. Record the original location of the
module to help ensure that the same or replacement module is inserted into the correct slot.
2. Simultaneously pull the ejector/inserter clips located at the top and at the bottom of each module in order to release the
module for removal.
3. Remove the module cover screw.
4. Remove the top cover by sliding it towards the rear and then lift it upwards.
5. Set the timing selection switches (channel 1, channel 2) to the desired timing modes.

6. Replace the top cover and the cover screw.


7. Re-insert the G.703 module. Take care to ensure that the correct module type is inserted into the correct slot position.
The ejector/inserter clips located at the top and at the bottom of each module must be in the disengaged position as
the module is smoothly inserted into the slot. Once the clips have cleared the raised edge of the chassis, engage the
clips simultaneously. When the clips have locked into position, the module is fully inserted.

c) G.703 OCTET TIMING


If octet timing is enabled (ON), this 8 kHz signal is asserted during the violation of bit 8 (LSB) necessary for connecting to
higher order systems. When D30s are connected back-to-back, octet timing is disabled (OFF).

d) G.703 TIMING MODES


There are two timing modes for the G.703 module: internal timing mode and loop timing mode (default).
• Internal Timing Mode: The system clock is generated internally. Therefore, the G.703 timing selection should be in
the internal timing mode for back-to-back (UR-to-UR) connections. For back-to-back connections, set for octet timing
(S1 = OFF) and timing mode to internal timing (S5 = ON and S6 = OFF).
• Loop Timing Mode: The system clock is derived from the received line signal. Therefore, the G.703 timing selection
should be in loop timing mode for connections to higher order systems. For connection to a higher order system (UR-

The switch settings for the internal and loop timing modes are shown below:

e) G.703 TEST MODES


In minimum remote loopback mode, the multiplexer is enabled to return the data from the external interface without any
processing to assist in diagnosing G.703 line-side problems irrespective of clock rate. Data enters from the G.703 inputs,
passes through the data stabilization latch which also restores the proper signal polarity, passes through the multiplexer
and then returns to the transmitter. The differential received data is processed and passed to the G.703 transmitter module
after which point the data is discarded. The G.703 receiver module is fully functional and continues to process data and
passes it to the differential Manchester transmitter module. Since timing is returned as it is received, the timing source is
expected to be from the G.703 line side of the interface.

Figure 3–39: G.703 MINIMUM REMOTE LOOPBACK MODE


In dual loopback mode, the multiplexers are active and the functions of the circuit are divided into two with each receiver/
transmitter pair linked together to deconstruct and then reconstruct their respective signals. Differential Manchester data
enters the Differential Manchester receiver module and then is returned to the differential Manchester transmitter module.
Likewise, G.703 data enters the G.703 receiver module and is passed through to the G.703 transmitter module to be
returned as G.703 data. Because of the complete split in the communications path and because, in each case, the clocks
are extracted and reconstructed with the outgoing data, in this mode there must be two independent sources of timing. One
source lies on the G.703 line side of the interface while the other lies on the differential Manchester side of the interface.

3.3.5 RS422 INTERFACE

a) DESCRIPTION
There are two RS422 inter-relay communications modules available: single-channel RS422 (module 7T) and dual-channel
RS422 (module 7W). The modules can be configured to run at 64 kbps or 128 kbps. AWG 20-24 twisted shielded pair cable
is recommended for external connections. These modules are protected by optically-isolated surge suppression devices.
The shield pins (6a and 7b) are internally connected to the ground pin (8a). Proper shield termination is as follows:
• Site 1: Terminate shield to pins 6a or 7b or both.
• Site 2: Terminate shield to COM pin 2b.
Match the clock terminating impedance with the impedance of the line.

b) TWO-CHANNEL APPLICATION VIA MULTIPLEXERS


The RS422 interface can be used for single channel or two channel applications over SONET/SDH or multiplexed systems.
When used in single-channel applications, the RS422 interface links to higher order systems in a typical fashion observing
transmit (Tx), receive (Rx), and send timing (ST) connections. However, when used in two-channel applications, certain cri-
teria must be followed since there is one clock input for the two RS422 channels. The system functions correctly when the
following connections are observed and your data module has a terminal timing feature. Terminal timing is a common fea-
ture to most synchronous data units that allows the module to accept timing from an external source. Using the terminal
timing feature, two channel applications can be achieved if these connections are followed: The send timing outputs from
the multiplexer (data module 1), connects to the clock inputs of the UR–RS422 interface in the usual fashion. In addition,
the send timing outputs of data module 1 is also paralleled to the terminal timing inputs of data module 2. By using this con-
figuration, the timing for both data modules and both UR–RS422 channels are derived from a single clock source. As a
result, data sampling for both of the UR–RS422 channels is synchronized via the send timing leads on data module 1 as
shown below. If the terminal timing feature is not available or this type of connection is not desired, the G.703 interface is a
viable option that does not impose timing restrictions.

Data module 1 provides timing to the D30 RS422 interface via the ST(A) and ST(B) outputs. Data module 1 also provides
timing to data module 2 TT(A) and TT(B) inputs via the ST(A) and AT(B) outputs. The data module pin numbers have been
omitted in the figure above since they vary by manufacturer.

c) TRANSMIT TIMING
The RS422 interface accepts one clock input for transmit timing. It is important that the rising edge of the 64 kHz transmit
timing clock of the multiplexer interface is sampling the data in the center of the transmit data window. Therefore, it is impor-
tant to confirm clock and data transitions to ensure proper system operation. For example, the following figure shows the
positive edge of the Tx clock in the center of the Tx data bit.

d) RECEIVE TIMING
The RS422 interface utilizes NRZI-MARK modulation code and; therefore, does not rely on an Rx clock to recapture data.
NRZI-MARK is an edge-type, invertible, self-clocking code.
To recover the Rx clock from the data-stream, an integrated DPLL (digital phase lock loop) circuit is utilized. The DPLL is
driven by an internal clock, which is 16-times over-sampled, and uses this clock along with the data-stream to generate a
data clock that can be used as the SCC (serial communication controller) receive clock.

employed via the RS422 interface (possibly with a multiplexer) and channel 2 via direct fiber.
AWG 20-24 twisted shielded pair is recommended for external RS422 connections and ground the shield only at one end. 3
For the direct fiber channel, address power budget issues properly.
When using a LASER Interface, attenuators can be necessary to ensure that you do not exceed

IEEE C37.94 compliant digital multiplexers or an IEEE C37.94 compliant interface converter for use with direct input and
output applications. The IEEE C37.94 standard defines a point-to-point optical link for synchronous data between a multi-
plexer and a teleprotection device. This data is typically 64 kbps, but the standard provides for speeds up to 64n kbps,
where n = 1, 2,…, 12. The UR-series C37.94 communication modules are either 64 kbps (with n fixed at 1) or 128 kbps
(with n fixed at 2). The frame is a valid International Telecommunications Union (ITU-T) recommended G.704 pattern from
the standpoint of framing and data rate. The frame is 256 bits and is repeated at a frame rate of 8000 Hz, with a resultant bit
rate of 2048 kbps.
The specifications for the module are as follows:.
• IEEE standard: C37.94 for 2 × 64 kbps optical fiber interface (for 76 and 77 modules)
3 • Fiber optic cable type: 50 nm or 62.5 µm core diameter optical fiber
• Fiber optic mode: multimode
• Fiber optic cable length: up to 2 km
• Fiber optic connector: type ST
• Wavelength: 820 ±40 nm
• Connection: as per all fiber optic connections, a Tx-to-Rx connection is required
The UR-series C37.94 communication module can be connected directly to any compliant digital multiplexer that supports
the IEEE C37.94 standard shown as follows.

In 2008, GE Grid Solutions released revised modules 76 and 77 for C37.94 communication to enable multi-ended fault
location functionality with firmware 5.60 release and higher. All modules 76 and 77 shipped the change support this feature
and are fully backward compatible with firmware releases below 5.60. For customers using firmware release 5.60 and
higher, the module can be identified with "Rev D" printed on the module and is to be used on all ends of D30 communica-
tion for two and three terminal applications. Failure to use it at all ends results in intermittent communication alarms. For
customers using firmware revisions below 5.60, it is not required to match the revision of the modules installed.

3 HARDWARE 3.3 DIRECT INPUT/OUTPUT COMMUNICATIONS

The UR-series C37.94 communication module has six switches to set the clock configuration. The following figure shows
the functions of these control switches.
Loop timing mode
Internal timing mode (factory default)

842753A2.CDR

For the internal timing mode, the system clock is generated internally. Therefore, the timing switch selection should be
internal timing for relay 1 and loop timed for relay 2. There must be only one timing source configured. 3
For the looped timing mode, the system clock is derived from the received line signal. Therefore, the timing selection
should be in loop timing mode for connections to higher order systems.
The IEEE C37.94 communications module cover removal procedure is as follows:
1. With power to the relay off, remove the IEEE C37.94 module (type 2I, 2J, 76 or 77 module) as follows. Record the orig-
inal location of the module to help ensure that the same or replacement module is inserted into the correct slot.
2. Simultaneously pull the ejector/inserter clips located at the top and at the bottom of each module in order to release the
module for removal.
3. Remove the module cover screw.
4. Remove the top cover by sliding it towards the rear and then lift it upwards.
5. Set the timing selection switches (channel 1, channel 2) to the desired timing modes (see description above).
6. Replace the top cover and the cover screw.
7. Re-insert the IEEE C37.94 module. Take care to ensure that the correct module type is inserted into the correct slot
position. The ejector/inserter clips located at the top and at the bottom of each module must be in the disengaged posi-
tion as the module is smoothly inserted into the slot. Once the clips have cleared the raised edge of the chassis,
engage the clips simultaneously. When the clips have locked into position, the module is fully inserted.

3.3.9 C37.94SM INTERFACE

The UR-series C37.94SM communication modules (2A and 2B) are designed to interface with modified IEEE C37.94 com-
pliant digital multiplexers or IEEE C37.94 compliant interface converters that have been converted from 820 nm multi-mode
fiber optics to 1300 nm ELED single-mode fiber optics. The IEEE C37.94 standard defines a point-to-point optical link for
synchronous data between a multiplexer and a teleprotection device. This data is typically 64 kbps, but the standard pro-
3
vides for speeds up to 64n kbps, where n = 1, 2,…, 12. The UR-series C37.94SM communication module is 64 kbps only
with n fixed at 1. The frame is a valid International Telecommunications Union (ITU-T) recommended G.704 pattern from
the standpoint of framing and data rate. The frame is 256 bits and is repeated at a frame rate of 8000 Hz, with a resultant bit
rate of 2048 kbps.
The specifications for the module are as follows:

4 HUMAN INTERFACES 4.1 ENERVISTA UR SETUP SOFTWARE INTERFACE

4 HUMAN INTERFACES 4.1ENERVISTA UR SETUP SOFTWARE INTERFACE 4.1.1 INTRODUCTION

The EnerVista UR Setup software provides a graphical user interface (GUI) as one of two human interfaces to a UR device.
The alternate human interface is implemented via the device’s faceplate keypad and display (see the Faceplate Interface
section in this chapter).
The EnerVista UR Setup software provides a single facility to configure, monitor, maintain, and troubleshoot the operation
of relay functions, connected over local or wide-area networks. It can be used while disconnected (offline) or connected
(online) to a UR device. In offline mode, settings files can be created for eventual downloading to the device. In online
mode, communication with the device is real-time.
The EnerVista UR Setup software is provided with every D30 relay and runs on Microsoft Windows XP, 7, and Server 2008.
This chapter provides a summary of the basic EnerVista UR Setup software interface features. The EnerVista UR Setup
Help File provides details for getting started and using the EnerVista UR Setup software interface.

4.1.2 CREATING A SITE LIST

To start using the EnerVista UR Setup software, site and device definition are required. See the EnerVista UR Setup Help
File or refer to the EnerVista UR Setup Software section in Chapter 1 for details.

4.1.3 ENERVISTA UR SETUP OVERVIEW 4


a) ENGAGING A DEVICE
The EnerVista UR Setup software can be used in online mode (relay connected) to directly communicate with the D30
relay. Communicating relays are organized and grouped by communication interfaces and into sites. Sites can contain any
number of relays selected from the UR-series of relays.

b) USING SETTINGS FILES


The EnerVista UR Setup software interface supports three ways of handling changes to relay settings:
• In offline mode (relay disconnected) to create or edit relay settings files for later download to communicating relays
• While connected to a relay to modify relay settings, and then save the settings to the relay
• You can create/edit settings files and then write them to the relay while the interface is connected to the relay
Settings files are organized on the basis of file names assigned by the user. A settings file contains data pertaining to the
following types of relay settings:
• Device definition
• Product setup
• System setup
• FlexLogic
• Grouped elements
• Control elements
• Inputs/outputs
• Remote resources
• Testing
Factory default values are supplied and can be restored after any changes.
The following communications settings are not transferred to the D30 with settings files:
Modbus Slave Address
Modbus TCP Port Number
RS485 COM2 Baud Rate
RS485 COM2 Parity
COM2 Minimum Response Time

COM2 Selection
RRTD Slave Address
RRTD Baud Rate
IP Address
IP Subnet Mask
IP Routing
When a settings file is loaded to a D30 that is in-service, the following sequence occurs:
1. The D30 takes itself out of service.
2. The D30 issues a UNIT NOT PROGRAMMED major self-test error.
3. The D30 closes the critical fail contact.

c) CREATING AND EDITING FLEXLOGIC


You create or edit a FlexLogic equation in order to customize the relay. You can subsequently view the automatically gener-
ated logic diagram.

d) VIEWING ACTUAL VALUES

4 You can view real-time relay data such as input/output status and measured parameters.

e) VIEWING TRIGGERED EVENTS


While the interface is in either online or offline mode, you can view and analyze data generated by triggered specified
parameters, via one of the following:
• Event recorder
The event recorder captures contextual data associated with the last 1024 events, listed in chronological order from
most recent to oldest.
• Oscillography
The oscillography waveform traces and digital states are used to provide a visual display of power system and relay
operation data captured during specific triggered events.

f) FILE SUPPORT
• Execution: Any EnerVista UR Setup file that is opened launches the application or provides focus to the already
opened application. If the file was a settings file (has a URS extension) that had been removed from the Settings List
tree menu, it is added back to the Settings List tree menu.
• Drag and Drop: The Site List and Settings List control bar windows are each mutually a drag source and a drop target
for device-order-code-compatible files or individual menu items. Also, the Settings List control bar window and any
Windows Explorer directory folder are each mutually a file drag source and drop target.
New files that are dropped into the Settings List window are added to the tree, which is automatically sorted alphabeti-
cally with respect to settings file names. Files or individual menu items that are dropped in the selected device menu in
the Site List window are automatically sent to the online communicating device.

g) FIRMWARE UPGRADES
The firmware of a D30 device can be upgraded, locally or remotely, via the EnerVista UR Setup software. The correspond-
ing instructions are provided by the EnerVista UR Setup Help file under the topic “Upgrading Firmware”.
If you are upgrading from version 7.0 or 7.1 to 7.2 or later, some CPU modules require a new boot version. Update this first
in EnerVista under Maintenance > Update Firmware.
Before backing up settings and upgrading, set the Settings > Product Setup > Security > Dual Permission Security
Access > Remote Setting Authorized and Local Setting Authorized settings to "ON." Otherwise, the upgrade is blocked
and results in an "Unable to put relay in flash mode" message.
If using CyberSentry security, also ensure that the relay and firmware are not locked under the Settings > Product Setup
> Security > Supervisory settings. A Supervisor role is required for these settings.

4 HUMAN INTERFACES 4.1 ENERVISTA UR SETUP SOFTWARE INTERFACE

Modbus addresses assigned to firmware modules, features, settings, and corresponding data items (that is, default
values, minimum/maximum values, data type, and item size) can change slightly from version to version of firm-
NOTE
ware. The addresses are rearranged when new features are added or existing features are enhanced or modified.
The EEPROM DATA ERROR message displayed after upgrading/downgrading the firmware is a resettable, self-test
message intended to inform users that the Modbus addresses have changed with the upgraded firmware. This
message does not signal any problems when appearing after firmware upgrades.

4.1.4 ENERVISTA UR SETUP MAIN WINDOW

The EnerVista UR Setup software main window supports the following primary display components:
1. Title bar that shows the pathname of the active data view
2. Main window menu bar
3. Main window tool bar
4. Site list control bar window
5. Settings list control bar window
6. Device data view windows, with common tool bar

4.2 EXTENDED ENERVISTA UR SETUP FEATURES 4 HUMAN INTERFACES

4.2EXTENDED ENERVISTA UR SETUP FEATURES 4.2.1 SETTINGS TEMPLATES

Setting file templates simplify the configuration and commissioning of multiple relays that protect similar assets. An exam-
ple of this is a substation that has 10 similar feeders protected by 10 UR-series F60 relays.
In these situations, typically 90% or greater of the settings are identical between all devices. The templates feature allows
engineers to configure and test these common settings, then lock them so that they are not available to users. For exam-
ple, these locked down settings can be hidden from view for field engineers, allowing them to quickly identify and concen-
trate on the specific settings.
The remaining settings (typically 10% or less) can be specified as editable and be made available to field engineers install-
ing the devices. These are settings such as protection element pickup values and CT and VT ratios.
The settings template mode allows the user to define which settings are visible in EnerVista UR Setup. Settings templates
can be applied to both settings files (settings file templates) and online devices (online settings templates). The functionality
is identical for both purposes.
Settings files conversion from previous firmware versions is supported.

a) ENABLING THE SETTINGS TEMPLATE


The settings file template feature is disabled by default. The following procedure describes how to enable the settings tem-
4 plate for UR-series settings files.
1. Select a settings file from the offline window of the EnerVista UR Setup main screen.
2. Right-click the selected device or settings file and select the Template Mode > Create Template option.
The settings file template is now enabled and the file tree displayed in light blue. The settings file is now in template editing
mode.
Alternatively, the settings template can also be applied to online settings. The following procedure describes this process.
1. Select an installed device from the online window of the EnerVista UR Setup main screen.
2. Right-click the selected device and select the Template Mode > Create Template option.

The software prompts for a template password. This password is required to use the template feature and must be at
least four characters in length.
3. Enter and re-enter the new password, then click OK to continue.
The online settings template is now enabled. The device is now in template editing mode.

b) EDITING THE SETTINGS TEMPLATE


The settings template editing feature allows the user to specify which settings are available for viewing and modification in
EnerVista UR Setup. By default, all settings except the FlexLogic equation editor settings are locked.
1. With the template already enabled, locate the device or settings file in the Online or Offline Window area in the soft-
ware.
2. Right-click the device or file and select the Template Mode > Edit Template option to place the device in template
editing mode. If prompted, enter the template password then click OK.

A traceability feature for settings files allows the user to quickly determine if the settings in a D30 device have been
changed since the time of installation from a settings file. When a settings file is transferred to a D30 device, the date, time,
and serial number of the D30 are sent back to EnerVista UR Setup and added to the settings file on the local PC. This infor-
mation can be compared with the D30 actual values at any later date to determine if security has been compromised.
The traceability information is only included in the settings file if a complete settings file is either transferred to the D30
device or obtained from the D30 device. Any partial settings transfers by way of drag and drop do not add the traceability
information to the settings file.

1 SETTING FILE TRANSFERRED


TO UR-SERIES DEVICE

The serial number and last setting change date


are stored in the UR-series device.

The serial number of the UR-series device and the file transfer
date are added to the setting file when setting files
are transferred to the device.

Compare transfer dates in the setting file and the


UR-series device to determine if security SERIAL NUMBER AND TRANSFER DATE
has been compromised. 2 SENT BACK TO ENERVISTA AND

With respect to the above diagram, the traceability feature is used as follows.
1. The transfer date of a setting file written to a D30 is logged in the relay and can be viewed via EnerVista UR Setup or
the front panel display. Likewise, the transfer date of a setting file saved to a local PC is logged in EnerVista UR Setup.
2. Comparing the dates stored in the relay and on the settings file at any time in the future indicates if any changes have
been made to the relay configuration since the settings file was saved.

a) SETTINGS FILE TRACEABILITY INFORMATION


The serial number and file transfer date are saved in the settings files when they are sent to a D30 device.
The D30 serial number and file transfer date are included in the settings file device definition within the EnerVista UR Setup
offline window as shown in the example below.

c) ADDITIONAL TRACEABILITY RULES

4 The following additional rules apply for the traceability feature


• If the user changes any settings within the settings file in the offline window, then the traceability information is
removed from the settings file.
• If the user creates a new settings file, then no traceability information is included in the settings file.
• If the user converts an existing settings file to another revision, then any existing traceability information is removed
from the settings file.
• If the user duplicates an existing settings file, then any traceability information is transferred to the duplicate settings
file.

a) ENHANCED FACEPLATE
The enhanced front panel display provides five columns of LED indicators. The first column contains 14 status and event
cause LEDs, and the next four columns contain the 48 user-programmable LEDs.
The RESET key is used to reset any latched LED indicator or target message, once the condition has been cleared (these
latched conditions can also be reset via the SETTINGS  INPUT/OUTPUTS  RESETTING menu). The RS232 port is
intended for connection to a portable PC.
The USER keys are used by the breaker control feature.

842811A1.CDR

Figure 4–18: TYPICAL LED INDICATOR PANEL FOR ENHANCED FACEPLATE


The status indicators in the first column are described below.
• IN SERVICE: This LED indicates that control power is applied, all monitored inputs, outputs, and internal systems are
OK, and that the device has been programmed.

4-14 D30 Line Distance Protection System GE Multilin


4 HUMAN INTERFACES 4.3 FACEPLATE INTERFACE

• TROUBLE: This LED indicates that the relay has detected an internal problem.
• TEST MODE: This LED indicates that the relay is in test mode. For more information, see the Test Mode section in the
Settings chapter.
• TRIP: This LED indicates that the FlexLogic operand serving as a trip switch has operated. This indicator always
latches; as such, a reset command must be initiated to allow the latch to be reset.
• ALARM: This LED indicates that the FlexLogic operand serving as an alarm switch has operated. This indicator is
never latched.
• PICKUP: This LED indicates that an element is picked up. This indicator is never latched.
The event cause indicators in the first column are described below.
Events cause LEDs are turned on or off by protection elements that have their respective target setting selected as either
“Enabled” or “Latched”. If a protection element target setting is “Enabled”, then the corresponding event cause LEDs
remain on as long as operate operand associated with the element remains asserted. If a protection element target setting
is “Latched”, then the corresponding event cause LEDs turn on when the operate operand associated with the element is
asserted and remain on until the RESET button on the front panel is pressed after the operand is reset.
All elements that are able to discriminate faulted phases can independently turn off or on the phase A, B, or C LEDs. This
includes phase instantaneous overcurrent, phase undervoltage, etc. This means that the phase A, B, and C operate oper-
ands for individual protection elements are ORed to turn on or off the phase A, B, or C LEDs.
• VOLTAGE: This LED indicates voltage was involved.
4
• CURRENT: This LED indicates current was involved.
• FREQUENCY: This LED indicates frequency was involved.
• OTHER: This LED indicates a composite function was involved.
• PHASE A: This LED indicates phase A was involved.
• PHASE B: This LED indicates phase B was involved.
• PHASE C: This LED indicates phase C was involved.
• NEUTRAL/GROUND: This LED indicates that neutral or ground was involved.
The user-programmable LEDs consist of 48 amber LED indicators in four columns. The operation of these LEDs is user-
defined. Support for applying a customized label beside every LED is provided. Default labels are shipped in the label pack-
age of every D30, together with custom templates. The default labels can be replaced by user-printed labels.
User customization of LED operation is of maximum benefit in installations where languages other than English are used to
communicate with operators. Refer to the User-programmable LEDs section in chapter 5 for the settings used to program
the operation of the LEDs on these panels.

b) STANDARD FACEPLATE
The standard faceplate consists of three panels with LED indicators, keys, and a communications port. The RESET key is
used to reset any latched LED indicator or target message, once the condition has been cleared (these latched conditions
can also be reset via the SETTINGS  INPUT/OUTPUTS  RESETTING menu). The RS232 port is for connection to a com-
puter.
The USER keys are used by the breaker control feature.

4.3.6 BREAKER CONTROL

a) INTRODUCTION
The D30 can interface with associated circuit breakers. In many cases the application monitors the state of the breaker, that
can be presented on faceplate LEDs, along with a breaker trouble indication. Breaker operations can be manually initiated
from faceplate keypad or automatically initiated from a FlexLogic operand. A setting is provided to assign names to each
breaker; this user-assigned name is used for the display of related flash messages. These features are provided for two
breakers; the user can use only those portions of the design relevant to a single breaker, which must be breaker 1.
For the following discussion it is assumed the SETTINGS  SYSTEM SETUP  BREAKERS  BREAKER 1(2)  BREAKER
FUNCTION setting is "Enabled" for each breaker.

4 HUMAN INTERFACES 4.3 FACEPLATE INTERFACE

b) CONTROL MODE SELECTION AND MONITORING


Installations can require that a breaker is operated in the three-pole only mode (3-pole), or in the one and three-pole (1-
pole) mode, selected by setting. If the mode is selected as three-pole, a single input tracks the breaker open or closed posi-
tion. If the mode is selected as one-pole, all three breaker pole states must be input to the relay. These inputs must be in
agreement to indicate the position of the breaker.
For the following discussion it is assumed the SETTINGS  SYSTEM SETUP  BREAKERS  BREAKER 1(2)  BREAKER

c) FACEPLATE (USER KEY) CONTROL


After the 30 minute interval during which command functions are permitted after a correct command password, the user
cannot open or close a breaker via the keypad. The following discussions begin from the not-permitted state.

d) CONTROL OF TWO BREAKERS


For the following example setup, the (Name) field represents the user-programmed variable name.
For this application (setup shown below), the relay is connected and programmed for both breaker 1 and breaker 2. The
USER 1 key performs the selection of which breaker is to be operated by the USER 2 and USER 3 keys. The USER 2 key
is used to manually close the breaker and the USER 3 key is used to manually open the breaker.

4.3.8 CHANGING SETTINGS

a) ENTERING NUMERICAL DATA


Each numerical setting has its own minimum, maximum, and increment value associated with it. These parameters define
what values are acceptable for a setting.

FLASH MESSAGE For example, select the SETTINGS  PRODUCT SETUP  DISPLAY PROPERTIES  FLASH
TIME: 1.0 s MESSAGE TIME setting.

MINIMUM: 0.5 Press the HELP key to view the minimum and maximum values. Press the HELP key
MAXIMUM: 10.0 again to view the next context sensitive help message.

Two methods of editing and storing a numerical setting value are available.
• 0 to 9 and decimal point: The relay numeric keypad works the same as that of any electronic calculator. A number is
entered one digit at a time. The leftmost digit is entered first and the rightmost digit is entered last. Pressing the MES-
SAGE LEFT key or pressing the ESCAPE key, returns the original value to the display.
• VALUE keys: The VALUE UP key increments the displayed value by the step value, up to the maximum value allowed.
While at the maximum value, pressing the VALUE UP key again allows the setting selection to continue upward from
the minimum value. The VALUE DOWN key decrements the displayed value by the step value, down to the minimum
4
value. While at the minimum value, pressing the VALUE DOWN key again allows the setting selection to continue
downward from the maximum value.

FLASH MESSAGE As an example, set the flash message time setting to 2.5 seconds. Press the appropriate
TIME: 2.5 s numeric keys in the sequence “2 . 5". The display message changes as the digits are
 being entered.
NEW SETTING Until ENTER is pressed, editing changes are not registered by the relay. Therefore, press
HAS BEEN STORED ENTER to store the new value in memory. This flash message momentarily appears as
confirmation of the storing process. Numerical values which contain decimal places are
rounded-off if more decimal place digits are entered than specified by the step value.

b) ENTERING ENUMERATION DATA


Enumeration settings have data values which are part of a set, whose members are explicitly defined by a name. A set is
comprised of two or more members.

ACCESS LEVEL: For example, the selections available for ACCESS LEVEL are "Restricted", "Command",
Restricted "Setting", and "Factory Service".

Enumeration type values are changed using the VALUE keys. The VALUE UP key displays the next selection while the
VALUE DOWN key displays the previous selection.

ACCESS LEVEL: If the ACCESS LEVEL needs to be "Setting", press the VALUE keys until the proper selec-
Setting tion is displayed. Press HELP at any time for the context sensitive help messages.

NEW SETTING Changes are not registered by the relay until the ENTER key is pressed. Pressing
HAS BEEN STORED ENTER stores the new value in memory. This flash message momentarily appears as
confirmation of the storing process.

c) ENTERING ALPHANUMERIC TEXT


Text settings have data values which are fixed in length, but user-defined in character. They can be upper case letters,
lower case letters, numerals, and a selection of special characters.

GE Multilin D30 Line Distance Protection System 4-25


4.3 FACEPLATE INTERFACE 4 HUMAN INTERFACES

There are several places where text messages can be programmed to allow the relay to be customized for specific applica-
tions. One example is the Message Scratchpad. Use the following procedure to enter alphanumeric text messages.
For example: to enter the text, “Breaker #1”.
1. Press the decimal point to enter text edit mode.
2. Press the VALUE keys until the character 'B' appears; press the decimal key to advance the cursor to the next position.
3. Repeat step 2 for the remaining characters: r,e,a,k,e,r, ,#,1.
4. Press ENTER to store the text.
5. If you have any problem, press HELP to view context sensitive help. Flash messages appear sequentially for several
seconds each. For the case of a text setting message, pressing HELP displays how to edit and store new values.

prompts you to type in the existing password (for each security level) before a new password can be entered.

g) INVALID PASSWORD ENTRY


By default, when an incorrect Command or Setting password has been entered via the faceplate interface three times
within three minutes, the LOCAL ACCESS DENIED FlexLogic operand is set to “On” and the D30 does not allow settings or
command level access via the faceplate interface for the next five minutes.
By default, when an incorrect Command or Setting password has been entered via any external communications interface
three times within three minutes, the REMOTE ACCESS DENIED FlexLogic operand is set to “On” and the D30 does not allow
settings or command access via the any external communications interface for five minutes. The REMOTE ACCESS DENIED
FlexLogic operand is set to “Off” after five minutes for a Command password or 30 minutes for a Settings password.
These default settings can be changed in EnerVista under Settings > Product Setup > Security.

5.1.2 INTRODUCTION TO ELEMENTS

In the design of UR relays, the term element is used to describe a feature that is based around a comparator. The compar-
ator is provided with an input (or set of inputs) that is tested against a programmed setting (or group of settings) to deter-
mine if the input is within the defined range that will set the output to logic 1, also referred to as setting the flag. A single
comparator may make multiple tests and provide multiple outputs; for example, the time overcurrent comparator sets a
pickup flag when the current input is above the setting and sets an operate flag when the input current has been at a level
above the pickup setting for the time specified by the time-current curve settings. All comparators use analog actual values
as the input.
An exception to this rule is digital elements, which use logic states as inputs.

NOTE

Elements are arranged into two classes, grouped and control. Each element classed as a grouped element is provided with
six alternate sets of settings, in setting groups numbered 1 through 6. The performance of a grouped element is defined by
the setting group that is active at a given time. The performance of a control element is independent of the selected active
setting group.
The main characteristics of an element are shown on the element logic diagram. This includes the inputs, settings, fixed
logic, and the output operands generated (abbreviations used on scheme logic diagrams are defined in Appendix F).
Some settings are specified in per-unit (pu) calculated quantities:
pu quantity = (actual quantity) / (base quantity)
Where the current source is from a single CT, the base quantity is the nominal secondary or primary current of the CT. Use
the secondary current base to convert per-unit current settings to/from a secondary current value, and use the primary cur-

5 rent base to convert to/from a primary current value.


Where the current source is the sum of two or more CTs with different nominal primary current, the primary base quantity is
the largest nominal primary current. For example, if CT1 = 300 / 5 A and CT2 = 100 / 1 A, then in order to sum these, CT2
is scaled to the CT1 ratio. In this case, the base quantity is 300 A primary, 5 A secondary for CT1, and 300/(100/1) = 3 A
secondary for CT2.
For voltage elements the primary base quantity is the nominal phase-to-phase primary voltage of the protected system pro-
vided that the VT ratio setting is set to the nominal ratio of the VTs and the secondary voltage setting is set to the phase-to-
phase voltage seen by the relay when the voltage of the protected system in nominal. The UR uses the convention that
nominal voltages in a three-phase system are phase-to-phase voltages.
For example, on a system with a 13.8 kV nominal primary voltage, the base quantity is 13800 V. With 14400:120 V delta-
connected VTs, the secondary base quantity and secondary voltage setting is:
13800
---------------- × 120 = 115 V (EQ 5.1)
14400
For wye-connected VTs, the primary and secondary bases quanitities are as before, but the secondary voltage (here a
phase-to-phase ground value) is:
13800
---------------- × 120
---------- = 66.4 V (EQ 5.2)
14400 3
Many settings are common to most elements and are discussed below:
• FUNCTION setting: This setting programs the element to be operational when selected as “Enabled”. The factory
default is “Disabled”. Once programmed to “Enabled”, any element associated with the function becomes active and all
options become available.
• NAME setting: This setting is used to uniquely identify the element.
• SOURCE setting: This setting is used to select the AC source to be monitored. See the Introduction to AC Sources
section later.
• PICKUP setting: For simple elements, this setting is used to program the level of the measured parameter above or
below which the pickup state is established. In more complex elements, a set of settings may be provided to define the
range of the measured parameters which will cause the element to pickup.

5-4 D30 Line Distance Protection System GE Multilin


5 SETTINGS 5.1 OVERVIEW

• PICKUP DELAY setting: This setting sets a time-delay-on-pickup, or on-delay, for the duration between the pickup
and operate output states.
• RESET DELAY setting: This setting is used to set a time-delay-on-dropout, or off-delay, for the duration between the
Operate output state and the return to logic 0 after the input transits outside the defined pickup range.
• BLOCK setting: The default output operand state of all comparators is a logic 0 or “flag not set”. The comparator
remains in this default state until a logic 1 is asserted at the RUN input, allowing the test to be performed. If the RUN
input changes to logic 0 at any time, the comparator returns to the default state. The RUN input is used to supervise
the comparator. The BLOCK input is used as one of the inputs to RUN control.
• TARGET setting: This setting is used to define the operation of an element target message. When set to “Disabled”,
no target message or illumination of a faceplate LED indicator is issued upon operation of the element. When set to
“Self-Reset”, the target message and LED indication follow the operate state of the element, and self-resets once the
operate element condition clears. When set to “Latched”, the target message and LED indication will remain visible
after the element output returns to logic 0 until a RESET command is received by the relay.
• EVENTS setting: This setting is used to control whether the pickup, dropout or operate states are recorded by the
event recorder. When set to “Disabled”, element pickup, dropout or operate are not recorded as events. When set to
“Enabled”, events are created for:
(Element) PKP (pickup)
(Element) DPO (dropout)
(Element) OP (operate)
The DPO event is created when the measure and decide comparator output transits from the pickup state (logic 1) to
the dropout state (logic 0). This could happen when the element is in the operate state if the reset delay time is not 0.
Not every operand of a given element in a UR relay generates events, only the major output operands. Elements,
asserting output per phase, log operating phase output only, without asserting the common three-phase operand
event. 5
5.1.3 INTRODUCTION TO AC SOURCES

a) BACKGROUND
A mechanism called a source configures the routing of CT and VT input channels to measurement sub-systems. Sources,
in the context of UR series relays, refer to the logical grouping of current and voltage signals such that one source contains
all the signals required to measure the load or fault in a particular power apparatus. A given source may contain all or some
of the following signals: three-phase currents, single-phase ground current, three-phase voltages and an auxiliary voltage
from a single VT for checking for synchronism.
The basic idea of an AC source is to select a point on the power system where the voltages and currents are of interest. To
illustrate the concept of sources, as applied to current inputs only, consider the breaker-and-a-half scheme below. (The
breaker-and-a-half scheme is used for illustrative purposes and is available on select UR products.) In this application, the
current flows as shown by the arrows. Some current flows through the upper bus bar to some other location or power
equipment, and some current flows into transformer winding 1. The current into winding 1 is the phasor sum (or difference)
of the currents in CT1 and CT2 (whether the sum or difference is used depends on the relative polarity of the CT connec-
tions). The same considerations apply to transformer winding 2. The protection elements require access to the net current
for transformer protection, but some elements may need access to the individual currents from CT1 and CT2.

Figure 5–1: BREAKER-AND-A-HALF SCHEME


In conventional analog or electronic relays, the sum of the currents is obtained from an appropriate external connection of
all CTs through which any portion of the current for the element being protected could flow. Auxiliary CTs are required to
perform ratio matching if the ratios of the primary CTs to be summed are not identical. In the UR series of relays, provisions
have been included for all the current signals to be brought to the UR device where grouping, ratio correction and summa-
tion are applied internally via configuration settings.
A major advantage of using internal summation is that the individual currents are available to the protection device; for
example, as additional information to calculate a restraint current, or to allow the provision of additional protection features
5 that operate on the individual currents such as breaker failure.
Given the flexibility of this approach, it becomes necessary to add configuration settings to the platform to allow the user to
select which sets of CT inputs will be added to form the net current into the protected device.
The internal grouping of current and voltage signals forms an AC source. This source can be given a specific name through
the settings, and becomes available to protection and metering elements in the UR platform. Individual names can be given
to each source to help identify them more clearly for later use. For example, in the scheme shown in the above diagram,
the user configures one source to be the sum of CT1 and CT2 and can name this source as “Wdg1 I”.
Once the sources have been configured, the user has them available as selections for the choice of input signal for the pro-
tection elements and as metered quantities.

b) CT/VT MODULE CONFIGURATION


CT and VT input channels are contained in CT/VT modules. The type of input channel can be phase/neutral/other voltage,
phase/ground current, or sensitive ground current. The CT/VT modules calculate total waveform RMS levels, fundamental
frequency phasors, symmetrical components and harmonics for voltage or current, as allowed by the hardware in each
channel. These modules may calculate other parameters as directed by the CPU module.
A CT/VT module contains up to eight input channels, numbered 1 through 8. The channel numbering corresponds to the
module terminal numbering 1 through 8 and is arranged as follows: Channels 1, 2, 3, and 4 are always provided as a
group, hereafter called a “bank,” and all four are either current or voltage, as are channels 5, 6, 7, and 8. Channels 1, 2, 3
and 5, 6, 7 are arranged as phase A, B and C respectively. Channels 4 and 8 are either another current or voltage.
Banks are ordered sequentially from the block of lower-numbered channels to the block of higher-numbered channels, and
from the CT/VT module with the lowest slot position letter to the module with the highest slot position letter, as follows:
INCREASING SLOT POSITION LETTER -->
CT/VT MODULE 1 CT/VT MODULE 2 CT/VT MODULE 3
< bank 1 > < bank 3 > < bank 5 >
< bank 2 > < bank 4 > < bank 6 >

5-6 D30 Line Distance Protection System GE Multilin


5 SETTINGS 5.1 OVERVIEW

The UR platform allows for a maximum of six sets of three-phase voltages and six sets of three-phase currents. The result
of these restrictions leads to the maximum number of CT/VT modules in a chassis to three. The maximum number of
sources is six. A summary of CT/VT module configurations is shown below.
ITEM MAXIMUM NUMBER
CT/VT Module 1
CT Bank (3 phase channels, 1 ground channel) 1
VT Bank (3 phase channels, 1 auxiliary channel) 1

c) CT/VT INPUT CHANNEL CONFIGURATION


Upon relay startup, configuration settings for every bank of current or voltage input channels in the relay are automatically
generated from the order code. Within each bank, a channel identification label is automatically assigned to each bank of
channels in a given product. The bank naming convention is based on the physical location of the channels, required by the
user to know how to connect the relay to external circuits. Bank identification consists of the letter designation of the slot in
which the CT/VT module is mounted as the first character, followed by numbers indicating the channel, either 1 or 5. See
the HardFiber instruction manual for designations of HardFiber voltage and current banks.
For three-phase channel sets, the number of the lowest numbered channel identifies the set. For example, F1 represents
the three-phase channel set of F1/F2/F3, where F is the slot letter and 1 is the first channel of the set of three channels.
Upon startup, the CPU configures the settings required to characterize the current and voltage inputs, and will display them
in the appropriate section in the sequence of the banks (as described above) as follows for a maximum configuration: F1,
F5, M1, M5, U1, and U5.

The following security features are available:
• Password security — Basic security present in the default offering of the product
• EnerVista security — Role-based access to various EnerVista software screens and configuration elements. The fea-
ture is available in the default offering of the product and only in the EnerVista software.
• CyberSentry security — Advanced security options available as a software option. When purchased, the options are
automatically enabled, and the default Password security and EnerVista security are disabled.
Changing the password, or any other setting, does not take the relay out of service. The relay is taken out of service when
a settings file is written to it.
LOST PASSWORD
If all passwords are lost, recovery is possible by resetting the unit to default values. Note that the relay is reset to default
values, not just the passwords.
To reset the unit after a lost password:
1. Email GE customer service at multilin.tech@ge.com with the serial number and using a recognizable corporate email
account. Customer service provides a code to reset the relay to the factory defaults.
2. Enter the reset code on the front panel, under COMMANDS  RELAY MAINTENANCE  SERVICE COMMAND.
3. Change the default password of ChangeMe1# as outlined in the Setting Up CyberSentry and Changing Default Pass-
word section in the first chapter.

5 PASSWORD REQUIREMENTS
A user account requires an alpha-numeric password that meets the following requirements:
• Password is case-sensitive
• Password cannot contain the user account name or parts of the user account that exceed two consecutive characters
• Password must be 6 to 20 characters in length
• Password must contain characters from three of the following four categories:
- English uppercase characters (A through Z)
- English lowercase characters (a through z)

Local access is defined as any access to settings or commands via the faceplate interface. This includes both keypad entry
and the through the faceplate RS232 port. Remote access is defined as any access to settings or commands via any rear
communications port. This includes both Ethernet and RS485 connections. Any changes to the local or remote passwords
enables this functionality.
When entering a settings or command password via EnerVista or any serial interface, the user must enter the correspond-
ing connection password. If the connection is to the back of the D30, the remote password must be used. If the connection
is to the RS232 port of the faceplate, the local password must be used.
For the ACCESS LEVEL, the "Restricted" option means both settings and commands can be accessed, but there is no
access to factory configuration. The "Factory Service" level is not available and intended for factory use only. In addition,
there are two user security access levels, setting and command, for which you set a password for each. Use of a password
for each level controls whether users can enter commands or change settings. Another option is to specify setting and/or
command access for individual user accounts.
The PASSWORD ACCESS EVENTS settings allows recording of password access events in the event recorder.
The local setting and command sessions are initiated by the user through the front panel display and are disabled either by
the user or by timeout (via the setting and command level access timeout settings). The remote setting and command ses-
sions are initiated by the user through the EnerVista UR Setup software and are disabled either by the user or by timeout.
The state of the session (local or remote, setting or command) determines the state of the following FlexLogic operands.
• ACCESS LOC SETG OFF: Asserted when local setting access is disabled
• ACCESS LOC SETG ON: Asserted when local setting access is enabled
• ACCESS LOC CMND OFF: Asserted when local command access is disabled
• ACCESS LOC CMND ON: Asserted when local command access is enabled

The following access supervision settings are available.


• INVALID ATTEMPTS BEFORE LOCKOUT: This setting specifies the number of times an incorrect password can be
entered within a three-minute time span before lockout occurs. When lockout occurs, the LOCAL ACCESS DENIED or
REMOTE ACCESS DENIED FlexLogic operands are set to “On”. These operands are returned to the “Off” state upon
expiration of the lockout.
• PASSWORD LOCKOUT DURATION: This setting specifies the time that the D30 will lockout password access after
the number of invalid password entries specified by the INVALID ATTEMPTS BEFORE LOCKOUT setting has occurred.
The D30 provides a means to raise an alarm upon failed password entry. Should password verification fail while accessing
a password-protected level of the relay (either settings or commands), the UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS FlexLogic operand is
asserted. The operand can be programmed to raise an alarm via contact outputs or communications. This feature can be
used to protect against both unauthorized and accidental access attempts.

The dual permission security access feature provides a mechanism for customers to prevent unauthorized or unintended
upload of settings to a relay through the local or remote interfaces interface.
The following settings are available through the local (front panel) interface only.
• LOCAL SETTING AUTH: This setting is used for local (front panel or RS232 interface) setting access supervision.
Valid values for the FlexLogic operands are either “On” (default) or any physical “Contact Input ~~ On” value.
If this setting is “On“, then local setting access functions as normal; that is, a local setting password is required. If this
setting is any contact input on FlexLogic operand, then the operand must be asserted (set as on) prior to providing the
local setting password to gain setting access.
If setting access is not authorized for local operation (front panel or RS232 interface) and the user attempts to obtain
setting access, then the UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS message is displayed on the front panel.
If this setting is "Off," firmware upgrades are blocked. If this setting is "On," firmware upgrades are allowed.
• REMOTE SETTING AUTH: This setting is used for remote (Ethernet or RS485 interfaces) setting access supervision.
If this setting is “On” (the default setting), then remote setting access functions as normal; that is, a remote password is
required). If this setting is “Off”, then remote setting access is blocked even if the correct remote setting password is
provided. If this setting is any other FlexLogic operand, then the operand must be asserted (set as on) prior to provid-
ing the remote setting password to gain setting access.
If this setting is "Off," firmware upgrades are blocked. If this setting is "On," firmware upgrades are allowed.
• ACCESS AUTH TIMEOUT: This setting represents the timeout delay for local setting access. This setting is applicable

The following settings are available through the remote (EnerVista UR Setup) interface only. Select the Settings > Product
Setup > Security menu item to display the security settings window.

The Remote Settings Authorized setting is used for remote (Ethernet or RS485 interfaces) setting access supervision. If
this setting is “On” (the default setting), then remote setting access functions as normal; that is, a remote password is
5 required. If this setting is “Off”, then remote setting access is blocked even if the correct remote setting password is pro-
vided. If this setting is any other FlexLogic operand, then the operand must be asserted (set as on) prior to providing the
remote setting password to gain setting access.
The Access Authorized Timeout setting represents the timeout delay remote setting access. This setting is applicable
when the Remote Settings Authorized setting is programmed to any operand except “On” or “Off”. The state of the Flex-
Logic operand is continuously monitored for an off-to-on transition. When this occurs, remote setting access is permitted
and the timer programmed with the Access Authorized Timeout setting value is started. When this timer expires, remote
setting access is immediately denied. If access is permitted and an off-to-on transition of the FlexLogic operand is detected,
the timeout is restarted. The status of this timer is updated every 5 seconds.

c) ENERVISTA SECURITY
ENABLING THE SECURITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
The EnerVista security system allows an administrator to manage access privileges of multiple users to the EnerVista appli-
cation.
It is disabled by default to allow the administrator direct access to the EnerVista software immediately after installation.
When security is disabled, all users have administrator access. GE recommends enabling the EnerVista security before
placing the device in service.
To enable the security system and require password use:

d) CYBERSENTRY SECURITY
The EnerVista software provides the means to configure and authenticate UR using either server or device or authentica-
tion. Access to various functionality depends on user role.
The login screen of EnerVista has two options for access to the UR, server and device authentication.
Figure 5–2: LOGIN SCREEN FOR CYBERSENTRY

When the "Server" Authentication Type option is selected, the UR uses the RADIUS server and not its local authentication
database to authenticate the user.
When the "Device" button is selected, the UR uses its local authentication database and not the RADIUS server to authen-
ticate the user. In this case, it uses built-in roles (Administrator, Engineer, Supervisor, Operator, Observer, or Administrator
and Supervisor when Device Authentication is disabled) as login accounts and the associated passwords are stored on the
UR device. In this case, access is not user-attributable. In cases where user-attributable access is required, especially for
auditable processes for compliance reasons, use server authentication (RADIUS) only.
No password or security information is displayed in plain text by the EnerVista software or UR device, nor are they ever
transmitted without cryptographic protection.
Only (TCP/UDP) ports and services that are needed for device configuration and for customer enabled features are
open. All the other ports are closed. For example, Modbus is on by default, so its TCP port number, 502, is open.
NOTE But if Modbus is disabled, port 502 is closed. This function has been tested and no unused ports have been found
open.
When CyberSentry is enabled, Modbus communications over Ethernet is encrypted, which is not always tolerated by
SCADA systems. The UR has a bypass access feature for such situations, which allows unencrypted Modbus over Ether-
net. The BYPASS ACCESS setting is available on the SETTINGS  PRODUCT SETUP  SECURITY  SUPERVISORY screen.
Note that other protocols (DNP, 101, 103, 104, EGD) are not encrypted, and they are good communications options for
SCADA systems when CyberSentry is enabled.

LOGIN: This setting is applicable for Device Authentication only. This setting allows a user to login with a specific role, see
descriptions below. For the Supervisor role, the “Supervisor Role” setting should be enabled.
Whenever a new role is logged in, the user is prompted with a display to enter a password. Passwords must obey the
requirements specified at the beginning of the chapter in the Password Requirements section.The UR device supports five
roles. All roles have their corresponding passwords. The Observer role is the only role that does not require a password.
The roles are defined as follows:
• Administrator: Complete read and write access to all settings and commands. This role does not allow concurrent
access. This role has an operand to indicate when it is logged on.
• Engineer: Complete read and write access to all settings and commands with the exception of configuring Security set-
tings and Firmware upgrades. This role does not allow concurrent access.
• Operator: The Operator has read/write access to all settings under the command menu/section. This role does not
exist offline.
• Supervisor: This is only an approving role. This role’s authentication commits setting changes submitted by Administra-
tor or Engineer. The Supervisor role authenticates to unlock the UR relay for setting changes and not approve changes
after the fact. Only Supervisor can set the Settings and Firmware Lock in the Security Settings. This role also has the
ability to forcefully logoff any other role and clear the security event log. This role can also be disabled, but only
through a Supervisor authentication. When this role is disabled its permissions are assigned to the Administrator role.

• Observer: This role has read only access to all UR settings. This role allows unlimited concurrent access but it has no
download access to any files on the device. Observer is the default role if no authentication has been done to the
device. This role displays as "None" on the front panel.
The Factory service role is not available and is intended for factory use only.

DEVICE AUTHENTICATION: This setting is enabled by default, meaning "Yes" is selected. When enabled, Device Authen-

5 tication with roles is enabled. When this setting is disabled, the UR only authenticates to the AAA server (Radius). How-
ever, the Administrator and Supervisor (when enabled) remain active even after device authentication is disabled and their
only permission is to re-enable device authentication. To re-enable device authentication, the Supervisor unlocks the
device for setting changes, then the Administrator re-enables device authentication.
BYPASS ACCESS: The bypass security feature provides an easier access, with no authentication and encryption for those
special situations when this is considered safe. Only the Supervisor, or the Administrator when the Supervisor role is dis-
abled, can enable this feature.

The bypass options are as follows:


• Local — Bypasses authentication for push buttons, keypad, RS232, and RS485
• Remote — Bypasses authentication for Ethernet
• Local and Remote — Bypasses authentication for push buttons, keypad, RS232, RS485, and Ethernet
When CyberSentry is enabled, Modbus communications over Ethernet is encrypted, which is not always tolerated by
SCADA systems. The UR has the Bypass Access feature for such situations, which allows unencrypted Modbus over
Ethernet. Setting it to "Remote" ensures no authentication is required over Ethernet and Modbus communication is unen-
crypted. Only a Supervisor or Administrator (if Supervisor role is disabled) can enable this feature. Note that other protocols
(DNP, 101, 103, 104, EGD) are not encrypted, and they are good communications options for SCADA systems when
CyberSentry is enabled.
LOCK RELAY: This setting uses a Boolean value (Enable/Disable) to indicate if the device accepts setting changes and
whether the device can receive a firmware upgrade. This setting can be changed only by the Supervisor role, if it is enabled
or by the Administrator if the Supervisor role is disabled. The Supervisor role enables this setting for the relay to start
accepting setting changes or command changes or firmware upgrade. After all the setting changes are applied or com-
mands executed, the Supervisor disables to lock setting changes.

5 SETTINGS 5.2 PRODUCT SETUP

Example: If this setting is "Yes" and an attempt is made to change settings or upgrade the firmware, the UR device denies
the setting changes and denies upgrading the firmware. If this setting is "No", the UR device accepts setting changes and
firmware upgrade.
This role is disabled by default.
FACTORY SERVICE MODE: When enabled (meaning "Yes" is selected) the device can go into factory service mode. For
this setting to become enabled a Supervisor authentication is necessary. The default value is Disabled.
SUPERVISOR ROLE: When enabled (meaning "Yes" is selected) the Supervisor role is active. When "No" is selected this
role is disabled. To disabled this setting a Supervisor authentication is necessary. If disabled, the Supervisor role is not
allowed to log on. In this case the Administrator can change the settings under the Supervisory menu.
If enabled, Supervisor authentication is required to change the settings in the Supervisory menu. If the Supervisor disables
his role after authentication, the Supervisor session remains valid until he switches to another role using MMI or until he
ends the current Supervisor session if using communications.
This role is disabled by default.
SERIAL INACTIVITY TIMEOUT: The role logged via a serial port is auto logged off after the Serial Inactivity timer times
out. A separate timer is maintained for RS232 and RS485 connections. The default value is 1 minute.

CYBERSENTRY SETUP
When first using CyberSentry security, use the following procedure for set up.
1. Log in to the relay as Administrator by using the Value keys on the front panel to enter the default password
"ChangeMe1#". Note that the "Lock relay" setting needs to be disabled in the Security > Supervisory menu. When
this setting is disabled, configuration and firmware upgrade are possible. By default, this setting is disabled.
2. Enable the Supervisor role if you have a need for it.
3. Make any required changes in configuration, such as setting a valid IP address for communication over Ethernet.
4. Log out of the Administrator account by choosing None.
Next, device or server authentication can be chosen on the login screen, but the choice is available only in EnerVista. Use
device authentication to log in using the five pre-configured roles (Administrator, Supervisor, Engineer, Operator,
Observer). When using a serial connection, only device authentication is supported. When server authentication is
required, characteristics for communication with a RADIUS server must be configured. This is possible only in the EnerV-

GE Multilin D30 Line Distance Protection System 5-21


5.2 PRODUCT SETUP 5 SETTINGS

ista software. The RADIUS server itself also must be configured. The appendix called RADIUS Server gives an example of
how to setup a simple RADIUS server. Once both the RADIUS server and the parameters for connecting UR to the server
have been configured, you can choose server authentication on the login screen of EnerVista.
The use of CyberSentry for devices communicating through an Ethernet-to-RS485 gateway is not
NOTICE supported. Because these gateways do not support the secure protocols necessary to communicate
with such devices, the connection cannot be established. Use the device as a non-CyberSentry
device.
Users logged in through the front panel are not timed out and cannot be forcefully logged out by a
NOTICE supervisor. Roles logged in through the front panel that do no allow multiple instances (Administrator,
Supervisor, Engineer, Operator) must switch to None (equivalent to a logout) when they are done in
order to log out.
For all user roles except Observer, only one instance can be logged in at one time, for both login by
NOTICE front panel and software.

To configure server authentication:


1. In the EnerVista software, choose device authentication and log in as Administrator.
2. Configure the following RADIUS server parameters: IP address, authentication port, shared secret, and vendor ID.
3. On the RADIUS server, configure the user accounts. Do not use the five pre-defined roles as user names (Administra-
tor, Supervisor, Engineer, Operator, Observer) in the RADIUS server. If you do, the UR relay automatically provides the
authentication from the device.
4. In the EnerVista software, choose server authentication and log in using the user name and password configured on

5 5.
the RADIUS server for server authentication login.
After making any required changes, log out.
When changing settings offline, ensure that only settings permitted by the role that performs the set-
NOTICE tings download are changed because only those changes are applied.
Pushbuttons (both user-control buttons and user-programmable buttons) located on the front panel can be pressed by an
Administrator or Engineer role. This also applies to the reset button, which resets targets, where targets are errors dis-
played on the front panel or the Targets panel of the EnerVista software. The reset button has special behavior in that it
allows these two roles to press it even when they are logged in through the RS232 port and not through the front panel.
To reset the security event log and self-test operands:
1. Log in as Supervisor (if the role is enabled) or Administrator (if the Supervisor role is disabled) and execute a clear
security command under Commands > Security > Clear Security.

b) SYSLOG FORMAT
System logs are produced with the CyberSentry option. The format is as follows.
Security log Event Number Date & Username IP address Role Activity Value

Event Number — Event identification number (index)


Date & Timestamp — UTC date and time

• LANGUAGE: This setting selects the language used to display settings, actual values, and targets. The setting dis-
plays when a language other than English was purchased, and the range depends on the order code of the relay.
• FLASH MESSAGE TIME: Flash messages are status, warning, error, or information messages displayed for several
seconds in response to certain key presses during setting programming. These messages override any normal mes-
sages. The duration of a flash message on the display can be changed to accommodate different reading rates.
• DEFAULT MESSAGE TIMEOUT: If the keypad is inactive for a period of time, the relay automatically reverts to a
default message. The inactivity time is modified via this setting to ensure messages remain on the screen long enough
during programming or reading of actual values.
• DEFAULT MESSAGE INTENSITY: To extend phosphor life in the vacuum fluorescent display, the brightness can be
attenuated during default message display. During keypad interrogation, the display always operates at full brightness.
• SCREEN SAVER FEATURE and SCREEN SAVER WAIT TIME: These settings are only visible if the D30 has a liquid
crystal display (LCD) and control its backlighting. When the SCREEN SAVER FEATURE is “Enabled”, the LCD backlighting
is turned off after the DEFAULT MESSAGE TIMEOUT followed by the SCREEN SAVER WAIT TIME, providing that no keys

• CURRENT CUT-OFF LEVEL: This setting modifies the current cut-off threshold. Very low currents (1 to 2% of the
rated value) are very susceptible to noise. Some customers prefer very low currents to display as zero, while others
prefer the current be displayed even when the value reflects noise rather than the actual signal. The D30 applies a cut-
off value to the magnitudes and angles of the measured currents. If the magnitude is below the cut-off level, it is substi-
tuted with zero. This applies to phase and ground current phasors as well as true RMS values and symmetrical compo-
nents. The cut-off operation applies to quantities used for metering, protection, and control, as well as those used by
communications protocols. Note that the cut-off level for the sensitive ground input is 10 times lower that the CURRENT
CUT-OFF LEVEL setting value. Raw current samples available via oscillography are not subject to cut-off.

• VOLTAGE CUT-OFF LEVEL: This setting modifies the voltage cut-off threshold. Very low secondary voltage measure-
ments (at the fractional volt level) can be affected by noise. Some customers prefer these low voltages to be displayed
as zero, while others prefer the voltage to be displayed even when the value reflects noise rather than the actual sig-
nal. The D30 applies a cut-off value to the magnitudes and angles of the measured voltages. If the magnitude is below
the cut-off level, it is substituted with zero. This operation applies to phase and auxiliary voltages, and symmetrical

components. The cut-off operation applies to quantities used for metering, protection, and control, as well as those
used by communications protocols. Raw samples of the voltages available via oscillography are not subject cut-off.
The CURRENT CUT-OFF LEVEL and the VOLTAGE CUT-OFF LEVEL are used to determine the metered power cut-off levels. The
power cut-off level is calculated as shown below. For Delta connections:

3 × CURRENT CUT-OFF LEVEL × VOLTAGE CUT-OFF LEVEL × VT primary × CT primary


3-phase power cut-off = ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (EQ 5.3)
VT secondary
For Wye connections:
3 × CURRENT CUT-OFF LEVEL × VOLTAGE CUT-OFF LEVEL × VT primary × CT primary
3-phase power cut-off = -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (EQ 5.4)
VT secondary

CURRENT CUT-OFF LEVEL × VOLTAGE CUT-OFF LEVEL × VT primary × CT primary


per-phase power cut-off = ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (EQ 5.5)
VT secondary
where VT primary = VT secondary × VT ratio and CT primary = CT secondary × CT ratio.
For example, given the following settings:
CURRENT CUT-OFF LEVEL: “0.02 pu”
VOLTAGE CUT-OFF LEVEL: “1.0 V”
PHASE CT PRIMARY: “100 A”
PHASE VT SECONDARY: “66.4 V”
PHASE VT RATIO: “208.00 : 1"
PHASE VT CONNECTION: “Delta”.

We have:
CT primary = “100 A”, and
VT primary = PHASE VT SECONDARY x PHASE VT RATIO = 66.4 V x 208 = 13811.2 V
5
The power cut-off is therefore:
power cut-off = (CURRENT CUT-OFF LEVEL × VOLTAGE CUT-OFF LEVEL × CT primary × VT primary)/VT secondary
= ( 3 × 0.02 pu × 1.0 V × 100 A × 13811.2 V) / 66.4 V
= 720.5 watts
Any calculated power value below this cut-off will not be displayed.
Lower the VOLTAGE CUT-OFF LEVEL and CURRENT CUT-OFF LEVEL with care as the relay accepts lower sig-
nals as valid measurements. Unless dictated otherwise by a specific application, the default settings of “0.02 pu” for
NOTE
CURRENT CUT-OFF LEVEL and “1.0 V” for VOLTAGE CUT-OFF LEVEL are recommended.

Selected records can be cleared from user-programmable conditions with FlexLogic operands. Assigning user-programma-
ble pushbuttons to clear specific records are typical applications for these commands. Since the D30 responds to rising
edges of the configured FlexLogic operands, they must be asserted for at least 50 ms to take effect.
Clearing records with user-programmable operands is not protected by the command password. However, user-program-
mable pushbuttons are protected by the command password. Thus, if they are used to clear records, the user-programma-
ble pushbuttons can provide extra security if required.
For example, to assign user-programmable pushbutton 1 to clear demand records, the following settings should be applied.

RS485 COM2 BAUD RATE and PARITY: The D30 is equipped with two independent serial communication ports. The faceplate
RS232 port is intended for local use and is fixed at 19200 bit/s baud and even parity. The rear COM2 port is RS485 and has
settings for baud rate and parity. It is important that these parameters agree with the settings used on the computer or other
equipment that is connected to these ports. Any of these ports can be connected to a computer running EnerVista UR
Setup. This software can download and upload setting files, view measured parameters, and upgrade the relay firmware. A
maximum of 32 relays can be daisy-chained and connected to a DCS, PLC, or computer using the RS485 ports. If IEC
60870-103 is chosen as the protocol, valid baud rates are 9600 and 19200 bit/s, and valid parity is Even.
RS485 COM2 RESPONSE MIN TIME: This setting specifies the minimum time before the rear RS485 port transmits after receiv-
ing data from a host. This feature allows operation with hosts that hold the RS485 transmitter active for some time after
each transmission.

c) ETHERNET NETWORK TOPOLOGY


The D30 has three Ethernet ports. Each Ethernet port must belong to a different network or subnetwork. Configure the IP
address and subnet to ensure that each port meets this requirement. Two subnets are different when the bitwise AND oper-
ation performed between their respective IP address and mask produces a different result. Communication becomes 5
unpredictable when more than one port is configured to the same subnet.
Example 1
IP1/Mask1: 10.1.1.2/255.255.255.0 (where LAN 1 is 10.1.1.x/255.255.255.0)
IP2/Mask2: 10.2.1.2/255.255.255.0 (where LAN2 is 10.2.1.x/255.255.255.0)
IP3/Mask3: 10.3.1.2/255.255.255.0 (where LAN3 is 10.3.1.x/255.255.255.0)
Example 2
IP1/Mask1: 10.1.1.2/255.0.0.0 (where LAN1 is 10.x.x.x/255.0.0.0)
IP2/Mask2: 11.1.1.2/255.0.0.0 (where LAN2 is 11.x.x.x/255.0.0.0)
IP3/Mask3: 12.1.1.2/255.0.0.0 (where LAN3 is 12.x.x.x/255.0.0.0)
Example 3 — Incorrect
IP1/Mask1: 10.1.1.2/255.0.0.0
IP2/Mask2: 10.2.1.2/255.0.0.0
IP3/Mask3: 10.3.1.2/255.0.0.0
This example is incorrect because the mask of 255.0.0.0 used for the three IP addresses makes them belong to the same
network of 10.x.x.x.

The IP addresses are used with the DNP, Modbus/TCP, IEC 61580, IEC 60870-5-104, TFTP, HTTP, and PRP protocols.
5 PRP is explained in its own section later.
PRT1 (2 OR 3) IP ADDRESS: This setting sets the ports IPv4 address in standard IPV4 format. This setting is valid on port 3 if
port 2 REDUNDANCY is set to None.
PRT1 (2 OR 3) SUBNET MASK: This setting sets the ports IPv4 subnet mask in standard IPV4 format. This setting is valid on
port 3 if port 2 REDUNDANCY is set to None.
PRT1 (2 OR 3) GOOSE ENABLED: This setting enables/disables Goose on the respective port. By default Goose is enabled.
PRT2 REDUNDANCY determines if ports 2 and 3 operate in redundant or independent mode. If a license for PRP was pur-
chased, the options are None, Failover, and PRP. If a license for PRP was not purchased, the available options are None
and Failover. In non-redundant mode (REDUNDANCY set to None), ports 2 and 3 operate independently with their own MAC,
IP, and mask addresses. If REDUNDANCY is set to Failover, the operation of ports 2 and 3 is as follows:
• Ports 2 and 3 use the port 2 MAC address, IP address, and mask
• The configuration fields for IP address and mask on port 3 are hidden
• Port 3 is in standby mode and does not actively communicate on the Ethernet network but monitors its link to the Mul-
tilink switch. If port 2 detects a problem with the link, communications is switched to Port 3. Port 3 is, in effect, acting as
a redundant or backup link to the network for port 2. Once port 2 detects that the link between itself and the switch is
good and that communication is healthy for five minutes, then switching back to port 2 is performed. The delay in
switching back ensures that rebooted switching devices connected to the D30, which signal their ports as active prior
to being completely functional, have time to completely initialize themselves and become active. Once port 2 is active
again, port 3 returns to standby mode.
If REDUNDANCY is set to PRP, the operation of ports 2 and 3 is as follows:
• Ports 2 and 3 use the port 2 MAC address, IP address, and mask
• The configuration fields for IP address and mask on port 3 are overwritten with those from port 2. This is visible on the
front panel but not displayed in the EnerVista software.
• Port 2 MCST ADDRESS field is visible
• The port 2 PTP function still uses only port 2 and the port 3 PTP function still uses only port 3. The relay still synchro-
nizes to whichever port has the best master. When ports 2 and 3 see the same master, as is typically the case for PRP
networks, the port with the better connectivity is used.

5-30 D30 Line Distance Protection System GE Multilin


5 SETTINGS 5.2 PRODUCT SETUP

The two ports must be connected to completely independent LANS with no single point of failure, such as common
power supplies that feed switches on both LANS.
NOTE

For this setting change to take effect, restart the unit.


PRT2 PRP MCST ADDR: This setting allows the user to change the multicast address used by the PRP supervision frames.
This setting is available if REDUNDANCY is set to PRP. All devices in the same PRP network need to have the same multi-
cast address. Choose an address that does not conflict with another multicast protocol.

e) FAR-END FAULT INDICATION (FEFI)


Since 100BASE-FX does not support Auto-Negotiation, a Far-End Fault Indication (FEFI) feature is included in UR 7 that
allows for detection of link failures.
The purpose of the Far-End Fault feature is to allow the stations on both ends of a pair of fibers to be informed when there
is a problem with one of the fibers. Without the Far-End Fault feature, it is impossible for a fiber interface to detect a prob-
lem that affects only its transmit fiber.
When the Far-End Fault feature is supported, a loss of receive signal (link) causes the transmitter to generate a Far-End
Fault pattern in order to inform the device at the far end of the fiber pair that a fault has occurred.
When the local receiver again detects a signal, the local transmitter automatically returns to normal operation.
If a Far-End Fault pattern is received by a fiber interface that supports the Far-End Fault feature and it is enabled, it reacts
by dropping the link as if there were no signal at all.
If the receiving interface does not support the Far-End Fault feature or has it disabled, an incoming Far-End Fault pattern is
ignored.
It is strongly recommended to have switches used at substation automation support the Far-End Fault feature, especially
when UR 7 redundancy Failover is selected for redundancy purpose. 5
f) PARALLEL REDUNDANCY PROTOCOL (PRP)
The Parallel Redundancy Protocol (PRP) defines a redundancy protocol for high availability in substation automation net-
works. It applies to networks based on Ethernet technology (ISO/IEC 8802-3) and is based on the second edition (July
2012) of the IEC 62439-3, clause 4.
PRP is designed to provide seamless recovery in case of a single failure in the network, by using a combination of LAN
duplication and frame duplication technique. Identical frames are sent on two completely independent networks that con-
nect source and destination. Under normal circumstances both frames reach the destination and one of them is sent up the
OSI stack to the destination application, while the second one is discarded. If an error occurs in one of the networks and
traffic is prevented from flowing on that path, connectivity is still provided through the other network to ensure continuous
communication. Take care when designing the two LANs, so that no single point of failure (such as a common power sup-
ply) is encountered, as such scenarios can bring down both LANs simultaneously.
Figure 5–7: EXAMPLE OF PARALLEL REDUNDANT NETWORK

PRP uses specialized nodes called doubly attached nodes (DANPs) for handling the duplicated frames. DANPs devices
have an additional module, called Link Redundancy Entity (LRE). LRE is responsible for duplicating frames and adding the
specific PRP trailer when sending the frames out on the LAN, as well as making decisions on received frames as to which
one is sent up the OSI stack to the application layer and which one is discarded. LRE is responsible for making PRP trans-
parent to the higher layers of the stack. There is a second type of specialized device used in PRP networks, called RedBox,
with the role of connecting Single Attached Nodes (SANs) to a redundant network.

GE Multilin D30 Line Distance Protection System 5-31


5.2 PRODUCT SETUP 5 SETTINGS

UR relays implement only the DANP functionality. The RedBox functionality is not implemented.
The original standard IEC 62439-3 (2010) was amended to align PRP with the High-availability Seamless Redundancy
(HSR) protocol. To achieve this, the original PRP was modified at the cost of losing compatibility with the PRP 2010 ver-
sion. The revised standard IEC 62439-3 (2012) is commonly referred to as PRP-1, while the original standard is PRP-0.
The UR relays support only PRP-1.
The relay implements PRP on two of its Ethernet ports, specifically Port 2 and 3 of the CPU module. Use the previous sec-
tion (network port configuration) to configure PRP.
PRP is purchased as a separate option. If purchased (valid order code), PRP can be enabled in configuration through a
setting available on the network configuration menu, REDUNDANCY, which already has the capability of enabling failover
redundancy. The options on this setting must be changed to accommodate two types of redundancy: failover and PRP.
When REDUNDANCY is set to either failover or PRP, the ports dedicated for PRP (Port 2 and 3) operate in redundant
mode. In this mode, Port 3 uses the Mac, IP address, and mask of Port 2.

ADDING AND DELETING STATIC ROUTES
Host routes are not supported at present.
The routing table configuration is available on the serial port and front panel. This is a deliberate decision, to avoid loss of
connectivity when remotely configuring the UR.
By default the value of the destination field is 127.0.0.1 for all static routes (1 to 6). This is equivalent to saying that the
static routes are not configured. When the destination address is 127.0.0.1, the mask and gateway must be also kept on
default values.
By default, the value of the route gateway address is 127.0.0.1. This means the default route is not configured.
To add a route:

5-32 D30 Line Distance Protection System GE Multilin


5 SETTINGS 5.2 PRODUCT SETUP

1. Use any of the static network route entries numbered 1 to 6 to configure a static network route. Once a route destina-
tion is configured for any of the entries 1 to 6, that entry becomes a static route and it must meet all the rules listed in
the next section, General Conditions to be Satisfied by Static Routes.
2. To configure the default route, enter a default gateway address. Once a default gateway address is configured, it must
be validated against condition 2 of the General Conditions to be Satisfied by Static Routes.
To delete a route:
1. Replace the route destination with the default loopback address (127.0.0.1). When deleting a route, the mask and
gateway must be also brought back to default values.
2. Delete the default route by replacing the default gateway with the default value 127.0.0.1.
GENERAL CONDITIONS TO BE SATISFIED BY STATIC ROUTES
The following rules are validated internally:
• The route mask has IP mask format. In binary this needs to be a set of contiguous bits of 1 from left to right, followed
by one or more contiguous bits of 0.
• The route destination and mask must match. This can be verified by checking that
RtDestination and RtMask = RtDestination
Example of good configuration: RtDestination = 10.1.1.0; Rt Mask = 255.255.255.0
Example of bad configuration: RtDestination = 10.1.1.1; Rt Mask = 255.255.255.0
The following rules must be observed when you configure static routes:
• The route destination must not be a connected network
• The route gateway must be on a connected network. This rule applies to the gateway address of the default route as
well. This can be verified by checking that:
(RtGwy & Prt1Mask) == (Prt1IP & Prt1Mask) || (RtGwy & Prt2Mask) == (Prt2IP & Prt2Mask) || (RtGwy & Prt3Mask) == 5
(Prt3IP & Prt3Mask)
where
& is the bitwise-AND operator
== is the equality operator
|| is the logical OR operator
ROUTING BEHAVIOR COMPARED TO PREVIOUS RELEASES
Prior to release 7.10, the UR did not have an explicit manner of configuring routes. The only available route was the default
route configured as part of the network settings (port gateway IP address). This limited the ability to route to specific desti-
nations, particularly if these destinations were reachable through a different interface than the one on which the default
gateway was.
Starting with UR 7.10, up to six static network routes can be configured in addition to a default route. The default route con-
figuration was also moved from the network settings into the routing section.

In the figure, the UR connects through the following two Ethernet ports:
• Port 1 (IP address 10.1.1.2) connects the UR to LAN 10.1.1.0/24 and to the Internet through Router1. Router 1 has an
interface on 10.1.1.0/24 and the IP address of this interface is 10.1.1.1.
• Port 2 (IP address 10.1.2.2) connects the UR to LAN 10.1.2.0/24 and to the EnerVista software through Router 2.
5 Router 2 has an interface on 10.1.2.0/24 and the IP address of this interface is 10.1.2.1.
The configuration before release 7.10 was as follows:
• PRT1 IP ADDRESS = 10.1.1.2
PRT1 SUBNET IP MASK = 255.255.255.0
PRT1 GWY IP ADDRESS = 10.1.1.1
PRT2 IP ADDRESS = 10.1.2.2
PRT2 SUBNET IP MASK = 255.255.255.0
The behavior before release 7.10 was as follows. When sending packets to EnerVista, the UR noticed that the destination
was not on a connected network and it tried to find a route to destination. Since the default route was the only route it knew,
it used it. Yet EnerVista was on a private network, which was not reachable through Router 1. Hence a destination unreach-
able message was received from the router.
The configuration starting release 7.10 is as follows:
• PRT1 IP ADDRESS = 10.1.1.2
PRT1 SUBNET IP MASK = 255.255.255.0
PRT2 IP ADDRESS = 10.1.2.2
PRT2 SUBNET IP MASK = 255.255.255.0
IPV4 DEFAULT ROUTE: GATEWAY ADDRESS = 10.1.1.1
STATIC NETWORK ROUTE 1: RT1 DESTINATION = 10.1.3.0/24; RT1 NET MASK = 255.255.255.0; and RT1 GATE-
WAY = 10.1.2.1
The behavior since release 7.10 is as follows. There is one added static network route to the destination 10.1.3.0/24, where
a computer running EnerVista is located. This static route uses a different gateway (10.1.2.1) than the default route. This
gateway is the address of Router 2, which has knowledge about 10.1.3.0 and is able to route packets coming from UR and
destined to EnerVista.

The serial communication ports utilize the Modbus protocol, unless the port is configured for DNP or IEC 60870-5-103
operation. This allows the EnerVista UR Setup software to be used on the port. The UR operates as a Modbus slave device
only.
When using Modbus protocol on the RS232 port, the D30 responds regardless of the MODBUS SLAVE ADDRESS pro-
grammed. For the RS485 port, each device on the serial bus must have a unique slave address from 1 to 254. Address 0
and addresses from 248 and up are reserved by the Modbus protocol specification, and so their use here is not recom-
mended. Address 0 is the broadcast address that all Modbus slave devices listen to. When MODBUS SLAVE ADDRESS is set
to 0, the UR accepts broadcast messages, but in compliance with protocol specifications for broadcast messages, never
replies. Addresses do not have to be sequential, but no two devices can have the same address or conflicts resulting in
errors occur. Generally, each device added to the link should use the next higher address starting at 1. When using Modbus
TCP/IP, the client must use the programmed MODBUS SLAVE ADDRESS value in the Unit Identifier field. See Appendix B for
more information on the Modbus protocol.
Modbus over TCP/IP can also be used on any of the Ethernet ports. The listening TCP port 502 is reserved for Modbus
communications, and only in exceptional cases when MODBUS TCP PORT NUMBER is set to any other port. The MODBUS TCP
PORT NUMBER setting sets the TCP port used by Modbus on Ethernet. A MODBUS TCP PORT NUMBER of 0 disables Modbus
over TCP/IP, meaning closes the Modbus TCP port. When it is set to 0, use the front panel or serial port to communicate
with the relay.
When a 0 value is involved in a change, the changes to the MODBUS TCP PORT NUMBER setting take effect when the
D30 is restarted.
NOTE
Do not set more than one protocol to the same TCP/UDP port number, as this results in unreliable operation of
those protocols.

The Protocol menu setting allows selection of one of the following protocols: DNP 3.0, IEC60870-104, or IEC60870-103.

The D30 supports the Distributed Network Protocol (DNP) version 3.0. DNP is enabled when the SETTINGS  PRODUCT
SETUP  COMMUNICATIONS  PROTOCOL setting is set to DNP 3.0. The D30 can be used as a DNP slave device con-
nected to multiple DNP masters (usually an RTU or a SCADA master station). Since the D30 maintains two sets of DNP
data change buffers and connection information, two DNP masters can actively communicate with the D30 at one time.
The DNP Channels sub-menu is shown below.

The DNP CHANNEL 1 PORT and DNP CHANNEL 2 PORT settings select the communications port assigned to the DNP protocol
for each channel. Once DNP is assigned to a serial port, DNP is the only protocol running on that port; Modbus or IEC
60870-5-103 are disabled. If DNP is assigned to RS485, the protocol must be set to DNP on the serial port configuration as
well, for the change to take effect. When the DNP CHANNEL 1(2) PORT setting is set to “Network - TCP,” the channel 1(2)
DNP protocol can be used over TCP/IP on the Ethernet ports. When the DNP CHANNEL 1 PORT setting is set to “Network -
UDP,” the channel 1 DNP protocol can be used over UDP/IP on the Ethernet ports. See the DNP appendix for information
on the DNP protocol.
5 Changes to these settings take effect when power has been cycled to the relay.

NOTE
Do not set more than one protocol to the same TCP/UDP port number, as this results in unreliable operation of
those protocols.

The DNP ADDRESS setting is the DNP slave address. This number identifies the D30 on a DNP communications link. Each
DNP slave should be assigned a unique address.

The D30 can specify a maximum of five clients for its DNP connections. These are IP addresses for the controllers to which
the D30 can connect. The settings in this sub-menu are shown below.

5 SETTINGS 5.2 PRODUCT SETUP

The DNP UNSOL RESPONSE FUNCTION should be “Disabled” for RS485 applications since there is no collision avoidance
mechanism. The DNP UNSOL RESPONSE TIMEOUT sets the time the D30 waits for a DNP master to confirm an unsolicited
response. The DNP UNSOL RESPONSE MAX RETRIES setting determines the number of times the D30 retransmits an unsolic-
ited response without receiving confirmation from the master; a value of “255” allows infinite re-tries. The DNP UNSOL
RESPONSE DEST ADDRESS is the DNP address to which all unsolicited responses are sent. The IP address to which solicited
responses are sent is determined by the D30 from the current TCP connection or the most recent UDP message.
The DNP scale factor settings are numbers used to scale analog input point values. These settings group the D30 analog
input data into the following types: current, voltage, power, energy, power factor, and other. Each setting represents the
scale factor for all analog input points of that type. For example, if the DNP VOLTAGE SCALE FACTOR setting is set to “1000”,
all DNP analog input points that are voltages will be returned with values 1000 times smaller (for example, a value of 72000
V on the D30 will be returned as 72). These settings are useful when analog input values must be adjusted to fit within cer-
tain ranges in DNP masters. Note that a scale factor of 0.1 is equivalent to a multiplier of 10 (that is, the value will be 10
times larger).
The DNP DEFAULT DEADBAND settings determine when to trigger unsolicited responses containing analog input data. These
settings group the D30 analog input data into the following types: current, voltage, power, energy, power factor, and other.
Each setting represents the default deadband value for all analog input points of that type. For example, to trigger unsolic-
ited responses from the D30 when any current values change by 15 A, the DNP CURRENT DEFAULT DEADBAND setting
should be set to “15”. Note that these settings are the deadband default values. DNP object 34 points can be used to
change deadband values, from the default, for each individual DNP analog input point. For any change to take effect,
restart the relay. Whenever power is removed and re-applied to the D30, the default deadbands will be in effect.
The D30 relay does not support energy metering. As such, the DNP ENERGY SCALE FACTOR and DNP ENERGY
DEFAULT DEADBAND settings are not applicable.
NOTE

The DNP TIME SYNC IIN PERIOD setting determines how often the Need Time Internal Indication (IIN) bit is set by the D30.
Changing this time allows the DNP master to send time synchronization commands more or less often, as required. 5
The DNP MESSAGE FRAGMENT SIZE setting determines the size, in bytes, at which message fragmentation occurs. Large
fragment sizes allow for more efficient throughput; smaller fragment sizes cause more application layer confirmations to be
necessary which can provide for more robust data transfer over noisy communication channels.
Check the “DNP Points Lists” D30 web page to view the analog inputs and/or binary inputs points lists. This page
can be viewed with a web browser by entering the IP address of the UR Ethernet port employed to access the D30
NOTE
“Main Menu”, then by selecting the “Device Information Menu” > “DNP Points Lists” menu item.
The DNP OBJECT 1 DEFAULT VARIATION to DNP OBJECT 32 DEFAULT VARIATION settings allow the user to select the DNP
default variation number for object types 1, 2, 20, 21, 22, 23, 30, and 32. The default variation refers to the variation
response when variation 0 is requested and/or in class 0, 1, 2, or 3 scans. See the DNP Implementation section in the DNP
appendix.
The DNP binary outputs typically map one-to-one to IED data points. That is, each DNP binary output controls a single
physical or virtual control point in an IED. In the D30 relay, DNP binary outputs are mapped to virtual inputs. However, some
legacy DNP implementations use a mapping of one DNP binary output to two physical or virtual control points to support
the concept of trip/close (for circuit breakers) or raise/lower (for tap changers) using a single control point. That is, the DNP
master can operate a single point for both trip and close, or raise and lower, operations. The D30 can be configured to sup-
port paired control points, with each paired control point operating two virtual inputs. The DNP NUMBER OF PAIRED CONTROL
POINTS setting allows configuration of from 0 to 32 binary output paired controls. Points not configured as paired operate on
a one-to-one basis.
The DNP TCP CONNECTION TIMEOUT setting specifies a time delay for the detection of dead network TCP connections. If
there is no data traffic on a DNP TCP connection for greater than the time specified by this setting, the connection will be
aborted by the D30. This frees up the connection to be re-used by a client.
Relay power must be re-cycled after changing the DNP TCP CONNECTION TIMEOUT setting for the changes to take
effect.

The D30 Line Distance Protection System is provided with optional IEC 61850 communications capability.
This feature is specified as a software option at the time of ordering. See the Order Codes section in chap-
ter 2 for details.

IEC 61850 messaging can form part of protection schemes. Consider 61850 settings with the same criticality as
protection element settings. To ensure reliable performance of protection schemes utilizing 61850 messaging, it
NOTE can be desirable to route 61850 traffic on a separate port from SCADA communications, or to use redundant, inde-
pendent ports, and a high speed network recovery method, such as PRP.
The D30 supports the Manufacturing Message Specification (MMS) protocol as specified by IEC 61850. MMS is supported
over two protocol stacks: TCP/IP over Ethernet. The D30 operates as an IEC 61850 server. The Remote Inputs and Out-
puts section in this chapter describe the peer-to-peer GSSE/GOOSE message scheme.
The EnerVista software includes an interface that is compatible with firmware versions 5.0 to 7.2 to configure subscribers.
Use the Simplified GOOSE Configurator in the Offline Window area.
The GSSE/GOOSE configuration main menu is divided into two areas: transmission and reception.

message. This string identifies the GOOSE message to the receiving device. In revisions previous to 5.0x, this name string
was represented by the RELAY NAME setting.
The DESTINATION MAC setting allows the destination Ethernet MAC address to be set. This address must be a multicast
address; the least significant bit of the first byte must be set. In D30 releases previous to 5.0x, the destination Ethernet 5
MAC address was determined automatically by taking the sending MAC address (that is, the unique, local MAC address of
the D30) and setting the multicast bit.
The GOOSE VLAN PRIORITY setting indicates the Ethernet priority of GOOSE messages. This allows GOOSE messages to
have higher priority than other Ethernet data. The GOOSE ETYPE APPID setting allows the selection of a specific application
ID for each GOOSE sending device. This value can be left at its default if the feature is not required. Both the GOOSE VLAN
PRIORITY and GOOSE ETYPE APPID settings are required by IEC 61850.

The configurable GOOSE settings allow the D30 to be configured to transmit a number of different datasets within IEC
61850 GOOSE messages. Up to eight different configurable datasets can be configured and transmitted. This is useful for
intercommunication between D30 IEDs and devices from other manufacturers that support IEC 61850.
The configurable GOOSE feature allows for the configuration of the datasets to be transmitted or received from the D30.
The D30 supports the configuration of eight (8) transmission and reception datasets, allowing for the optimization of data
transfer between devices.
Items programmed for dataset 1 and 2 will have changes in their status transmitted as soon as the change is detected.
Datasets 1 and 2 should be used for high-speed transmission of data that is required for applications such as transfer trip-
ping, blocking, and breaker fail initiate. At least one digital status value needs to be configured in the required dataset to
enable transmission of configured data. Configuring analog data only to dataset 1 or 2 will not activate transmission.
Items programmed for datasets 3 through 8 will have changes in their status transmitted at a maximum rate of every
100 ms. Datasets 3 through 8 will regularly analyze each data item configured within them every 100 ms to identify if any
changes have been made. If any changes in the data items are detected, these changes will be transmitted through a
GOOSE message. If there are no changes detected during this 100 ms period, no GOOSE message will be sent.
For all datasets 1 through 8, the integrity GOOSE message will still continue to be sent at the pre-configured rate even if no
changes in the data items are detected.
The GOOSE functionality was enhanced to prevent the relay from flooding a communications network with GOOSE mes-
sages due to an oscillation being created that is triggering a message.
The D30 has the ability of detecting if a data item in one of the GOOSE datasets is erroneously oscillating. This can be
caused by events such as errors in logic programming, inputs improperly being asserted and de-asserted, or failed station
components. If erroneously oscillation is detected, the D30 will stop sending GOOSE messages from the dataset for a min-
imum period of one second. Should the oscillation persist after the one second time-out period, the D30 will continue to

sage on the front panel display, where XXX denotes the data item detected as oscillating.
For versions 5.70 and higher, the D30 supports four retransmission schemes: aggressive, medium, relaxed, and heartbeat.
The aggressive scheme is only supported in fast type 1A GOOSE messages (GOOSEOut 1 and GOOSEOut 2). For slow
GOOSE messages (GOOSEOut 3 to GOOSEOut 8) the aggressive scheme is the same as the medium scheme.

The configurable GOOSE feature is recommended for applications that require GOOSE data transfer between UR-series
IEDs and devices from other manufacturers. Fixed GOOSE is recommended for applications that require GOOSE data
transfer between UR-series IEDs.
IEC 61850 GOOSE messaging contains a number of configurable parameters, all of which must be correct to achieve the
successful transfer of data. It is critical that the configured datasets at the transmission and reception devices are an exact
match in terms of data structure, and that the GOOSE addresses and name strings match exactly. Manual configuration is
possible, but third-party substation configuration software may be used to automate the process. The EnerVista UR Setup
software can produce IEC 61850 ICD files and import IEC 61850 SCD files produced by a substation configurator (as out-
lined in the IEC 61850 appendix).
The following example illustrates the configuration required to transfer IEC 61850 data items between two devices. The
general steps required for transmission configuration are:
1. Configure the transmission dataset.
2. Configure the GOOSE service settings.
3. Configure the data.
The general steps required for reception configuration are:
1. Configure the reception dataset.
2. Configure the GOOSE service settings.
3. Configure the data.

This example shows how to configure the transmission and reception of three IEC 61850 data items: a single point status
value, its associated quality flags, and a floating point analog value.
The following procedure illustrates the transmission configuration.
1. Configure the transmission dataset by making the following changes in the PRODUCT SETUP  COMMUNICATION 
IEC 61850 PROTOCOL  GSSE/GOOSE CONFIGURATION  TRANSMISSION  CONFIGURABLE GOOSE  CONFIGURABLE
GOOSE 1  CONFIG GSE 1 DATASET ITEMS settings menu:

– Set ITEM 1 to “GGIO1.ST.Ind1.q” to indicate quality flags for GGIO1 status indication 1.
– Set ITEM 2 to “GGIO1.ST.Ind1.stVal” to indicate the status value for GGIO1 status indication 1.
– Set ITEM 3 to “MMXU1.MX.Hz.mag.f” to indicate the analog frequency magnitude for MMXU1 (the metered fre-
quency for SRC1).
The transmission dataset now contains a quality flag, a single point status Boolean value, and a floating point analog
value. The reception dataset on the receiving device must exactly match this structure.
2. Configure the GOOSE service settings by making the following changes in the PRODUCT SETUP  COMMUNICATION
 IEC 61850 PROTOCOL  GSSE/GOOSE CONFIGURATION  TRANSMISSION  CONFIGURABLE GOOSE  CONFIGU-
RABLE GOOSE 1 settings menu:

– Set CONFIG GSE 1 FUNCTION to “Enabled”.


– Set CONFIG GSE 1 ID to an appropriate descriptive string (the default value is “GOOSEOut_1”).
– Set CONFIG GSE 1 DST MAC to a multicast address (for example, 01 00 00 12 34 56).
– Set the CONFIG GSE 1 VLAN PRIORITY; the default value of “4” is OK for this example.
– Set the CONFIG GSE 1 VLAN ID value; the default value is “0”, but some switches may require this value to be “1”.
5 – Set the CONFIG GSE 1 ETYPE APPID value. This setting represents the ETHERTYPE application ID and must match
the configuration on the receiver (the default value is “0”).
– Set the CONFIG GSE 1 CONFREV value. This value changes automatically as described in IEC 61850 part 7-2. For
this example it can be left at its default value.
3. Configure the data by making the following changes in the PRODUCT SETUP  COMMUNICATION  IEC 61850 PROTO-
COL  GGIO1 STATUS CONFIGURATION settings menu:
– Set GGIO1 INDICATION 1 to a FlexLogic operand used to provide the status of GGIO1.ST.Ind1.stVal (for example, a
contact input, virtual input, a protection element status, etc.).
4. Configure the MMXU1 Hz Deadband by making the following changes in the PRODUCT SETUP  COMMUNICATION 
IEC 61850 PROTOCOL  MMXU DEADBANDS MMXU1 DEADBANDS settings menu:
– Set MMXU1 HZ DEADBAND to “0.050%”. This will result in an update to the MMXU1.MX.mag.f analog value with a
change greater than 45 mHz, from the previous MMXU1.MX.mag.f value, in the source frequency.
The D30 must be rebooted (control power removed and re-applied) before these settings take effect.
The following procedure illustrates the reception configuration.
1. Configure the reception dataset by making the following changes in the PRODUCT SETUP  COMMUNICATION  IEC

– Set ITEM 2 to “GGIO3.ST.Ind1.stVal” to indicate the status value for GGIO3 status indication 1.
– Set ITEM 3 to “GGIO3.MX.AnIn1.mag.f” to indicate the analog magnitude for GGIO3 analog input 1.
The reception dataset now contains a quality flag, a single point status Boolean value, and a floating point analog
value. This matches the transmission dataset configuration above.
2. Configure the GOOSE service settings by making the following changes in the INPUTS/OUTPUTS  REMOTE DEVICES
 REMOTE DEVICE 1 settings menu:
– Set REMOTE DEVICE 1 ID to match the GOOSE ID string for the transmitting device. Enter “GOOSEOut_1”.

5 SETTINGS 5.2 PRODUCT SETUP

– Set REMOTE DEVICE 1 ETYPE APPID to match the ETHERTYPE application ID from the transmitting device. This is
“0” in the example above.
– Set the REMOTE DEVICE 1 DATASET value. This value represents the dataset number in use. Since we are using
configurable GOOSE 1 in this example, program this value as “GOOSEIn 1”.
3. Configure the Boolean data by making the following changes in the INPUTS/OUTPUTS  REMOTE INPUTS  REMOTE
INPUT 1settings menu:
– Set REMOTE IN 1 DEVICE to “GOOSEOut_1”.
– Set REMOTE IN 1 ITEM to “Dataset Item 2”. This assigns the value of the GGIO3.ST.Ind1.stVal single point status
item to remote input 1.
4. Configure the analog data by making the following changes in the INPUTS/OUTPUTS  IEC 61850 GOOSE ANALOG
INPUTS settings menu:
– Set the IEC61850 GOOSE ANALOG INPUT 1 DEFAULT VALUE to “60.000”.
– Enter “Hz” for the IEC61850 GOOSE ANALOG INPUT 1 UNITS setting.
The GOOSE analog input 1 can now be used as a FlexAnalog value in a FlexElement or in other settings. The D30 must be
rebooted (control power removed and re-applied) before these settings take effect.
The value of GOOSE analog input 1 in the receiving device will be determined by the MMXU1.MX.Hz.mag.f value in the
sending device. This MMXU value is determined by the source 1 frequency value and the MMXU Hz deadband setting of
the sending device.
Remote input 1 can now be used in FlexLogic equations or other settings. The D30 must be rebooted (control power
removed and re-applied) before these settings take effect.
The value of remote input 1 (Boolean on or off) in the receiving device will be determined by the GGIO1.ST.Ind1.stVal value
in the sending device. The above settings will be automatically populated by the EnerVista UR Setup software when a com- 5
plete SCD file is created by third party substation configurator software.
For intercommunication between D30 IEDs, the fixed (DNA/UserSt) dataset can be used. The DNA/UserSt dataset con-
tains the same DNA and UserSt bit pairs that are included in GSSE messages. All GOOSE messages transmitted by the
D30 (DNA/UserSt dataset and configurable datasets) use the IEC 61850 GOOSE messaging services (for example, VLAN
support).
Set the CONFIG GSE 1 FUNCTION function to “Disabled” when configuration changes are required. Once changes are
entered, return the CONFIG GSE 1 FUNCTION to “Enabled” and restart the unit for changes to take effect.

To create a configurable GOOSE dataset that contains an IEC 61850 Single Point Status indication and its associated qual-
ity flags, the following dataset items can be selected: “GGIO1.ST.Ind1.stVal” and “GGIO1.ST.Ind1.q”. The D30 will then cre-
ate a dataset containing these two data items. The status value for GGIO1.ST.Ind1.stVal is determined by the FlexLogic
operand assigned to GGIO1 indication 1. Changes to this operand will result in the transmission of GOOSE messages con-
taining the defined dataset.

The configurable GOOSE settings allow the D30 to be configured to receive a number of different datasets within IEC
61850 GOOSE messages. Up to sixteen different configurable datasets can be configured for reception. This is useful for
intercommunication between D30 IEDs and devices from other manufacturers that support IEC 61850.
For intercommunication between D30 IEDs, the fixed (DNA/UserSt) dataset can be used. The DNA/UserSt dataset con-
tains the same DNA and UserSt bit pairs that are included in GSSE messages.
To set up a D30 to receive a configurable GOOSE dataset that contains two IEC 61850 single point status indications, the
following dataset items can be selected (for example, for configurable GOOSE dataset 1): “GGIO3.ST.Ind1.stVal” and

5 “GGIO3.ST.Ind2.stVal”. The D30 will then create a dataset containing these two data items. The Boolean status values from
these data items can be utilized as remote input FlexLogic operands. First, the REMOTE DEVICE 1(16) DATASET setting must
be set to contain dataset “GOOSEIn 1” (that is, the first configurable dataset). Then REMOTE IN 1(16) ITEM settings must be
set to “Dataset Item 1” and “Dataset Item 2”. These remote input FlexLogic operands will then change state in accordance
with the status values of the data items in the configured dataset.
Double-point status values may be included in the GOOSE dataset. Received values are populated in the
GGIO3.ST.IndPos1.stVal and higher items.
Floating point analog values originating from MMXU logical nodes may be included in GOOSE datasets. Deadband (non-
instantaneous) values can be transmitted. Received values are used to populate the GGIO3.MX.AnIn1 and higher items.
Received values are also available as FlexAnalog parameters (GOOSE analog In1 and up).
GGIO3.MX.AnIn1 to GGIO3.MX.AnIn32 can only be used once for all sixteen reception datasets.

The IED NAME and LD INST settings represent the MMS domain name (IEC 61850 logical device) where all IEC/MMS logical
nodes are located. Valid characters for these values are upper and lowercase letters, numbers, and the underscore (_)
character, and the first character in the string must be a letter. This conforms to the IEC 61850 standard. The LOCATION is a
variable string and can be composed of ASCII characters. This string appears within the PhyName of the LPHD node.
The IEC/MMS TCP PORT NUMBER setting allows the user to change the TCP port number for MMS connections. The INCLUDE
NON-IEC DATA setting determines whether or not the “UR” MMS domain will be available. This domain contains a large num-
ber of UR-series specific data items that are not available in the IEC 61850 logical nodes. This data does not follow the IEC
61850 naming conventions. For communications schemes that strictly follow the IEC 61850 standard, this setting should be
“Disabled”.
When a 0 value is involved in a change, the changes to the IEC/MMS TCP PORT NUMBER setting take effect when the
D30 is restarted.
NOTE
Do not set more than one protocol to the same TCP/UDP port number, as this results in unreliable operation of
those protocols.
The SERVER SCANNING feature should be set to “Disabled” when IEC 61850 client/server functionality is not required. IEC
61850 has two modes of functionality: GOOSE/GSSE inter-device communication and client/server communication. If the
GOOSE/GSSE functionality is required without the IEC 61850 client server feature, then server scanning can be disabled
to increase CPU resources. When server scanning is disabled, there is no updating of the IEC 61850 logical node status
values in the D30. Clients are still able to connect to the server (D30 relay), but most data values are not updated. This set-
ting does not affect GOOSE/GSSE operation.
Changes to the IED NAME setting, LD INST setting, and GOOSE dataset take effect when the D30 is restarted.

The MMXU deadband settings represent the deadband values used to determine when the update the MMXU “mag” and
“cVal” values from the associated “instmag” and “instcVal” values. The “mag” and “cVal” values are used for the IEC 61850
buffered and unbuffered reports. These settings correspond to the associated “db” data items in the CF functional con-
straint of the MMXU logical node, as per the IEC 61850 standard. According to IEC 61850-7-3, the db value “shall repre-
sent the percentage of difference between the maximum and minimum in units of 0.001%”. Thus, it is important to know the
maximum value for each MMXU measured quantity, since this represents the 100.00% value for the deadband.
The minimum value for all quantities is 0; the maximum values are as follows:
• phase current: 46 × phase CT primary setting

GGIO1 (binary status values). The settings allow the selection of FlexInteger values for each GGIO5 integer value point.
It is intended that clients use GGIO5 to access generic integer values from the D30. Additional settings are provided to
allow the selection of the number of integer values available in GGIO5 (1 to 16), and to assign FlexInteger values to the
GGIO5 integer inputs. The following setting is available for all GGIO5 configuration points.

INTERLOCKED inputs respectively of the XCBR. When this operand is asserted, XCBR logical node inhibits execution of
the open and close commands respectively. If select before operate (SBO) with Extended Security is requested and Inter-
lock condition exists, the UR responds with a Negative response (-Rsp) with the Reason Code Blocked-by-interlocking.
The XCBR1 Pos ctlModel setting is used to select control model per IEC 61850-7-3. The following control models are sup-
ported by URs:
0 — Status only
1 — Direct control with normal security (direct-operate)
2 — SBO control with normal security (operate-once)
3 — Direct control with enhanced security (direct-operate)
4 — SBO control with enhanced security (operate-once)
See IEC 61850-7-2 for complete details on these control models.
The XCBR1 Pos sboTimeout setting is used to select SBO timeout value. To be successful, the IEC 61850 "operate" com-
mand must be executed after the "select" command within the XCBR1 Pos sboTimeout setting value.
The disconnect switch configuration settings are shown below. Changes to these values will not take effect until the UR is

The CLEAR XSWI1 OpCnt setting represents the disconnect switch operating counter. As disconnect switches operate by
opening and closing, the XSWI operating counter status attribute (OpCnt) increments with every operation. Frequent switch
operation may result in very large OpCnt values over time. This setting allows the OpCnt to be reset to “0” for XSWI1.

The D30 supports the IEC 60870-5-104 protocol. This protocol is enabled when the SETTINGS  PRODUCT SETUP  COM-
MUNICATIONS  PROTOCOL setting is set to IEC 60870-5-104. The D30 can be used as an IEC 60870-5-104 slave device
connected to a maximum of two masters (usually either an RTU or a SCADA master station). Since the D30 maintains two
sets of IEC 60870-5-104 data change buffers, no more than two masters should actively communicate with the D30 at one
time.
The IEC ------- DEFAULT THRESHOLD settings are used to determine when to trigger spontaneous responses containing
M_ME_NC_1 analog data. These settings group the D30 analog data into types: current, voltage, power, energy, and other.
Each setting represents the default threshold value for all M_ME_NC_1 analog points of that type. For example, to trigger
spontaneous responses from the D30 when any current values change by 15 A, the IEC CURRENT DEFAULT THRESHOLD set-
ting should be set to 15. Note that these settings are the default values of the deadbands. P_ME_NC_1 (parameter of mea-
sured value, short floating point value) points can be used to change threshold values, from the default, for each individual
M_ME_NC_1 analog point. Whenever power is removed and re-applied to the D30, the default thresholds are in effect.
The IEC REDUNDANCY setting decides whether multiple client connections are accepted or not. If redundancy is set to Yes,
two simultaneous connections can be active at any given time.

The D30 is provided with optional IEC 60870-5-103 communications capability. This feature is specified as
a software option at the time of ordering. See the Order Codes section in chapter 2 for details.

The IEC 60870-5-103 protocol is enabled when the SETTINGS  PRODUCT SETUP  COMMUNICATIONS  PROTOCOL set-
ting is set to IEC 60870-5-103.
IEC103 COMMON ADDRESS OF ASDU: This setting uniquely defines this D30 on the serial line. Select an ID between 0 and
254. This ID does not need to be in sequential order for all stations that communicate with a controller, but it is recom-
mended. Note that RS485 only allows a maximum of 32 slave stations on a communication line, so the entire range of 254
addresses is never exhausted.
IEC103 SYNC TIMEOUT: This setting defines the time that the D30 waits for a synchronization message. The D30 synchro-
nizes its clock using all available sources, with the source synching more frequently overwriting the time of the other
sources. Since the synchronization message received from the IEC 60870-5-103 master is less frequent than IRIG-B, PTP,
or SNTP, its time is overwritten by these three sources, if any of them is active. If the synchronization timeout occurs and
none of IRIG-B, PTP, or SNTP is active, the D30 sets the invalid bit in the time stamp of a time-tagged message.

The binary input points are mapped using elements from a list of possible FlexLogic operands. A maximum of 96 binary
inputs (points) can be mapped this way.
The IEC60870-5-103 point list always starts with point 0 and ends at the first "Off" value. Since the IEC 60870-5-103 point
list must be in a continuous block, any points assigned after the first "Off" point are ignored.
For each defined point, set appropriate values for the Function Type (FUN) and Information Number (INF), which form the
Information Object Identifier field of the ASDU, as defined in IEC60870-5-103.
The binary input points are sent as Class 1 data. They are sent either as a response to a general interrogation received
from the controller or reported spontaneously. Spontaneous transmission occurs as a response to cyclic Class 2 requests.
If the D30 wants to transmit Class 1 data at that time, it demands access for Class 1 data transmission (ACD=1 in the con-
trol field of the response).
For any change to take effect, restart the relay.

5.2 PRODUCT SETUP 5 SETTINGS

The configuration menu allows a maximum of four ASDUs containing measurands.


Measurands are sent as a response to Class 2 requests, which are cyclic requests coming from the master.
TYPE IDENTIFICATION (TYP): The configuration field TYP indicates how many measurands are present in the corresponding
ASDU. Each ASDU can take either 4 or 9 measurands maximum, depending on the type identification (3 respectively 9).
For any change to take effect, restart the relay.
FUNCTION TYPE (FUN) AND INFORMATION NUMBER (INF): These two fields form the Information Object Identifier of the ASDU
as defined in IEC60870-103. For any change to take effect, restart the relay.
SCAN TIMEOUT (SCAN TOUT): This is the cyclic period used by the D30 to decide when a measurand ASDU is included in a
response. The measurand is sent as response to a Class 2 request when the corresponding timeout expires. The default
value 0 means 500 ms.
ANALOG #: This field contains the actual measurand to be sent in the response to the master. The measurands can be
mapped using elements from a list of FlexAnalog operands. The measurands sent are voltage, current, power, power fac-
tor, and frequency. If any other FlexAnalog is chosen, the D30 sends 0 instead of its value. Note that the power is transmit-
ted in KW, not W. Measurands are transmitted as ASDU 3 or ASDU 9 (type identification value set to measurands I,
respectively measurands II).
Each IEC60870-5-103 measurands list ends at the first unconfigured ("Off") value. Any measurand assigned after the first
"Off" value is ignored.
At least one measurand per ASDU must be configured in order to configure the following ASDU. For example, the user can
configure only one measurand for each ASDU, but the user is not allowed to skip ASDU2 and configure measurands in
ASDU3.
For any change to take effect, restart the relay.

5 ANALOG # FACTOR AND OFFSET: For each measurand included in the ASDU, a factor and offset can also be configured. The
factor and offset allow for scaling to be performed on measurands. The final measurement sent to the IEC60870-103 mas-
ter is then "a*x + b", where x is the measurand, a is the multiplying factor and b is the offset. The master has to perform the
reversed operation in order to retrieve the actual value if such scaling is done. By default a = 1 and b = 0, so no scaling is
done if these values are left at their defaults. Examples of when scaling is appropriate are as follows:
• If the measured value contains decimals and it is important to preserve the resolution. Since the format for transmitting
the measurand does not permit decimals, a factor a>1 can be applied before transmission. For example, a frequency
F=59.9Hz can be transmitted as Ft = 10 * F = 10 * 59.9 = 599. In this case a = 10, b = 0. The master receives 599 and
has to divide by 10 to retrieve the real value 59.9.
• If the measured value is larger than what fits in the format defined in IEC103. The format defined in the standard allows
for signed integers up to 4095. By offsetting, unsigned integers up to 4096 + 4095 = 8191 are supported. Scaling using
factors <1 can be required in such cases. The calculation is outlined in the IEC60870-5-103 appendix. Two examples
follow, where you decide factors a and b.
Example 1: Nominal power Pn = 100MW = 100000KW (power is transmitted in KW)
Since P can be both positive and negative:
Transmitted power Pt = (4095/(Pn*2.4)) * P = (4095/(100000 * 2.4) ) * P
= 0.017 * P
a = 0.017
b=0
Pt = 0.017 * P
For a max power 100000KW * 2.4 = 240000KW, we transmit
Pt = 0.017 * 240000 = 4080
A value above 240 MW is indicated by overflow.

Example 2: Nominal voltage Vn = 500000V


Since RMS voltage V can be only positive:

5-62 D30 Line Distance Protection System GE Multilin


5 SETTINGS 5.2 PRODUCT SETUP

Transmitted voltage Vt = (8191/(Vn*2.4)) * V - 4096 =


= (8191/(500000 * 2.4) ) * V - 4096 = 0.0068 * V - 4096
a = 0.0068
Since the step is in increments of 0.001, we round it at:
a = 0.006
b = -4096
Vt = 0.006 * V - 4096
For max voltage 500000V * 2.4 = 1200000V, we transmit
Vt = 0.006 * 1200000 - 4096 = 7200 - 4096 = 3104

The relay contains a real time clock (RTC) to create timestamps for communications protocols as well as for historical data,
such as event records and oscillography. When the relay restarts, the RTC initializes from an onboard battery-backed
clock, which has the same accuracy as an electronic watch, approximately ±1 minute per month (~23 ppm). Once the RTC
is synchronized with the Precision Time Protocol (PTP), IRIG-B, or SNTP, its accuracy approaches that of the synchroniz-

ing time delivered to the relay. While the RTC is not synchronized via PTP or IRIG-B, or the relay determines than it has an
offset possibly greater than 10 µs from the international time standard, the CLOCK UNSYNCHRONIZED FlexLogic oper-
and is activated.
The SYNCHRONIZING SOURCE setting displays when the relay includes the IEEE 1588 software option. The setting config-
ures the priority sequence of the time synchronization source, to determine which of the available external time sources to
use for time synchronization. A setting of None causes the RTC and the synchrophasor clock to free-run until the clock is
changed from the front panel or from communications protocols. A setting of PP/IRIG-B/PTP/SNTP, IRIG-B/PP/PTP/SNTP,
or PP/PTP/IRIG-B/SNTP causes the relay to track the first source named that is enabled and operational, or free-run if
none of these are available. Here, PP means a time source that is strictly compliant with PP, and PTP means a time source
that is not strictly compliant with PP. When a time source fails or recovers, the relay automatically transfers synchronization
as required by this setting.
When the relay does not have the IEEE 1588 software option and this setting does not display, it uses IRIG-B when
enabled and operational, then failing that SNTP when configured and operational, and otherwise it free-runs unless the
clock is changed from the front panel or from communications protocols.
Whenever a time synchronization message is received through any of the active protocols, the UR clock updates. However,
given that IEC 60870-5-103, IEC 60870-5-104, Modbus, and DNP are low accuracy time synchronization methods, avoid
their use for synchronization when better accuracy time protocols, such as IRIG-B and PTP, are active in the system.
See the COMMANDS SET DATE AND TIME menu section of this manual to manually set the RTC.
The REAL TIME CLOCK EVENTS setting allows changes to the date and/or time to be captured in the event record. The event
records the RTC time before the adjustment. A Date/Time Changed event is generated when:
• The real time clock changed from SNTP/PTP/IRIG-B and the time difference is more than one second
• The real time clock changed from the front panel or via Modbus register. The relay always generates this event regard-


less of the time difference.
The Daylight Saving Time (DST) setting gets enabled and the current relay time is already in the DST zone
5
• The real time clock enters or leaves DST
To enable IRIG-B synchronization, the input IRIG-B SIGNAL TYPE must be set to DC Shift or Amplitude Modulated. IRIG-B
synchronization can be disabled by making this setting None.
To configure and enable PTP and/or SNTP, or to set local time parameters (for example time zone, daylight savings), use

The UR supports the Precision Time Protocol (PTP) specified in IEEE Std 1588 2008 using the Power Profile (PP) specified
in IEEE Std C37.238 2011. This enables the relay to synchronize to the international time standard over an Ethernet net-
work that implements PP.
The relay can be configured to operate on some PTP networks that are not strictly PP. Time accuracy can be less than
specified for a PP network. Tolerated deviations from strict PP include 1) missing declaration of PP compliance in the mes-
sages, 2) connection to a network device that does not support the PTP peer delay mechanism, 3) jitter substantially
greater than 1 µs in received event messages, and 4) certain non-compliant announce and sync message update rates.
The relay implements PTP according to IEEE Std 1588 2008 and the equivalent IEC 61588:2009(E), sometimes
referred to as version 2 PTP. It does not support the previous version of the standard (version 1).
NOTE

PTP is a protocol that allows multiple clocks in a network to synchronize with one another. It permits synchronization accu-
racies better than 1 ns, but this requires each and every component in the network achieve very high levels of accuracy and
a very high baud rate, faster than normally used for relay communications. When operating over a generic Ethernet net-
work, time error may amount to 1 ms or more. PP is a profile of PTP which specifies a limited subset of PTP suitable for use
5 in power system protection, control, automation and data communication applications, and thereby facilitates interoperabil-
ity between different vendor’s clocks and switches. PP specifies a worst-case delivered time error of less than 1 µs over a
16-hop network.
In a PTP system and in a PP system, the clocks automatically organize themselves into a master-slave synchronization
hierarchy with the “best” clock available making itself the "grandmaster" at the top of the hierarchy; all others make them-
selves “slaves” and track the grandmaster. Typically the grandmaster clock receives its time from GPS satellites or some
other link to the international time standard. If the grandmaster fails, the next “best” clock available in the domain assumes
the grandmaster role. Should a clock on starting up discover it is “better” that the present grandmaster, it assumes the
grandmaster role and the previous grandmaster reverts to slave. The D30 qualification mechanism accepts a potential
master clock as a new grandmaster, when in a four-second interval it has received three announce messages from it, all
better than the present grandmaster clock and better than any other announce in this interval.
Time messages issued by the grandmaster are delayed as they pass through the network both due to the finite speed of
the signal in the interconnecting fiber or wire, and due to processing delays in the Ethernet switches. Each clock and switch
implementing PP measures the propagation delay to each of its PP neighbors, and compensates for these delays in the
time received. Each network device implementing PP measures the processing delay it introduces in each time message
and compensates for this delay in the time it transmits. As a result, the time delivered to end-devices such as the UR are
virtually identical to the grandmaster time. Should one of the network devices in the hierarchy not fully implement PP, the
associated propagation delay and/or latency may not be compensated for, and the time received at the end-device could be
in error by more than 100 µs.
See the Settings > Product Setup > Real Time Clock section of this manual for a description of when time values
received via PTP are used to update the relay’s real time clock.
The following settings are available for configuring the relay for PTP.
STRICT POWER PROFILE
• Power profile (IEEE Std C37.238 2011) requires that the relay only select as a grandmaster power profile compliant
clocks, that the delivered time have worst-case error of ±1 µs, and that the peer delay mechanism be implemented.
With the strict power profile setting enabled, the relay will only select as master clocks displaying the IEEE_C37_238
identification codes. It will use a port only when the peer delay mechanism is operational. With the strict power profile
setting disabled, the relay will use clocks without the power profile identification when no power profile clocks are pres-
ent, and will use ports even if the peer delay mechanism is non-operational.
• This setting applies to all of the relay’s PTP capable ports.

5 SETTINGS 5.2 PRODUCT SETUP

PTP DOMAIN NUMBER


• This setting should be set to the domain number of the grandmaster-capable clock(s) to be synchronized to. A net-
work may support multiple time distribution domains, each distinguished with a unique domain number. More com-
monly, there is a single domain using the default domain number zero.
• This setting applies to all of the relay’s PTP capable ports.
PTP VLAN PRIORITY
• This setting selects the value of the priority field in the 802.1Q VLAN tag in request messages issued by the relay’s
peer delay mechanism. In compliance with PP the default VLAN priority is 4, but it is recommended that in accordance
with PTP it be set to 7.
• Depending on the characteristics of the device to which the relay is directly linked, VLAN Priority may have no effect.
• This setting applies to all of the relay’s PTP capable ports.
PTP VLAN ID
• This setting selects the value of the ID field in the 802.1Q VLAN tag in request messages issued by the relay’s peer
delay mechanism. It is provided in compliance with PP. As these messages have a destination address that indicates
they are not to be bridged, their VLAN ID serves no function, and so may be left at its default value.
• Depending on the characteristics of the device to which the relay is directly linked, VLAN ID may have no effect.
• This setting applies to all of the relay’s PTP capable ports.
PORT 1 ... 3 FUNCTION
• While this port setting is selected to disabled, PTP is disabled on this port. The relay does not generate or listen to
PTP messages on this port.
PORT 1 ... 3 PATH DELAY ADDER 5
• The time delivered by PTP is advanced by the time value in this setting prior to the time being used to synchronize the
relay’s real time clock. This is to compensate to the extent practical for time delivery delays not compensated for in the
network. In a fully compliant PP network, the peer delay and the processing delay mechanisms compensate for all the
delays between the grandmaster and the relay. In such networks, this setting should be zero.
• In networks containing one or more switches and/or clocks that do not implement both of these mechanisms, not all
delays are compensated, so the time of message arrival at the relay will be later than the time indicated in the mes-
sage. This setting can be used to approximately compensate for this delay. However, as the relay is not aware of net-
work switching that dynamically changes the amount of uncompensated delay, there is no setting that will always
completely correct for uncompensated delay. A setting can be chosen that will reduce worst-case error to half of the
range between minimum and maximum uncompensated delay, if these values are known.
PORT 1 ... 3 PATH DELAY ASYMMETRY
• This setting corresponds to “delayAsymmetry” in PTP, which is used by the peer delay mechanism to compensate for
any difference in the propagation delay between the two directions of a link. Except in unusual cases, the two fibers are
of essentially identical length and composition, so this setting should be set to zero.
• In unusual cases where the length of the link is different in different directions, this setting should be set to the number
of nanoseconds the Ethernet propagation delay to the relay is longer than the mean of path propagation delays to and
from the relay. For instance, if it is known say from the physical length of the fibers and the propagation speed in the
fibers that the delay from the relay to the Ethernet switch it is connected to is 9 000 ns and the that the delay from the
switch to the relay is 11 000 ns, then the mean delay is 10 000 ns, and the path delay asymmetry is 11000 - 10000 =
+1000 ns.

The D30 supports the Simple Network Time Protocol specified in RFC-2030. With SNTP, the D30 can obtain clock time
over an Ethernet network. The D30 acts as an SNTP client to receive time values from an SNTP/NTP server, usually a ded-
icated product using a GPS receiver to provide an accurate time. UR series relays support unicast, broadcast, multicast,
and anycast SNTP functionality.
The SNTP FUNCTION setting enables or disabled the SNTP feature on the D30.
To use SNTP in unicast mode, SNTP SERVER IP ADDR must be set to the SNTP/NTP server IP address. Once this address is
set and SNTP FUNCTION is “Enabled,” the D30 attempts to obtain time values from the SNTP/NTP server. Since many time
values are obtained and averaged, it generally takes three to four minutes until the D30 clock is closely synchronized with
the SNTP/NTP server. It takes up to two minutes for the D30 to signal an SNTP self-test error if the server is offline.
To use SNTP in broadcast mode, set the SNTP SERVER IP ADDR setting to “0.0.0.0” and SNTP FUNCTION to “Enabled.” The
D30 then listens to SNTP messages sent to the “all ones” broadcast address for the subnet. The D30 waits up to 18 min-
utes (>1024 seconds) without receiving an SNTP broadcast message before signaling an SNTP self-test error.
The SNTP UDP PORT NUMBER is 123 for normal SNTP operation. If SNTP is not required, close the port by setting it to 0.
5 When the SNTP UDP PORT NUMBER is set to 0, the change takes effect when the D30 is restarted.

The UR device maintains two times: local time and Universal Coordinated Time (UTC). Local time can be provided by IRIG-
B signals. UTC time is provided by SNTP servers.
The real-time clock (RTC) and time stamps reported in historical records and communication protocols can be incorrect if
the Local Time settings are not configured properly.
See the IRIG-B section in the Installation chapter for guidance on these settings when using an IRIG-B source that sets the
IRIG-B control bits according to IEEE Std 1344-1995.
The LOCAL TIME OFFSET FROM UTC setting is used to specify the local time zone offset from UTC (Greenwich Mean Time) in
hours. Time zones in the eastern hemisphere have positive values; time zones in the western hemisphere have negative
values. A value of zero causes the relay to use UTC for local time. This setting has two uses. When the system RTC is syn-
chronized with a communications protocol providing only local time or it is free-running, the offset setting is used to calcu-
late UTC from the local time these provide. When the RTC is synchronized with a communications protocol providing only
UTC (such as PTP or SNTP), the time offset setting is used to determine local time from the UTC provided. PTP
ALTERNATE_TIME_OFFSET_INDICATOR TLVs are not used to calculate local time.
The DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME (DST) settings can be used to allow the relay to follow the DST rules of the local time zone.
Note that when IRIG-B time synchronization is active, the local time in the IRIG-B signal contains any daylight savings time
offset and so the DST settings are ignored.

The D30 relay supports one fault report and an associated fault locator. The signal source and trigger condition, as well as
the characteristics of the line or feeder, are entered in this menu.
The fault report stores data, in non-volatile memory, pertinent to an event when triggered. The captured data contained in
the FaultReport.txt file includes:
• Fault report number.
• Name of the relay, programmed by the user.

GE Multilin D30 Line Distance Protection System 5-69


5.2 PRODUCT SETUP 5 SETTINGS

• Firmware revision of the relay.


• Date and time of trigger.
• Name of trigger (specific operand).
• Line or feeder ID via the name of a configured signal source.
• Active setting group at the time of trigger.
• Pre-fault current and voltage phasors (two cycles before either a 50DD disturbance associated with fault report source
or the trigger operate). Once a disturbance is detected, pre-fault phasors hold for 3 seconds waiting for the fault report
trigger. If trigger does not occur within this time, the values are cleared to prepare for the next disturbance.
• Fault current and voltage phasors (one cycle after the trigger).
• Elements operated at the time of triggering.
• Events: 9 before trigger and 7 after trigger (only available via the relay webpage).
• Fault duration times for each breaker (created by the breaker arcing current feature).
The captured data also includes the fault type and the distance to the fault location, as well as the reclose shot number
(when applicable) To include fault duration times in the fault report, the user must enable and configure breaker arcing cur-
rent feature for each of the breakers. Fault duration is reported on a per-phase basis.
The relay allows locating faults, including ground faults, from delta-connected VTs. In this case, the missing zero-sequence
voltage is substituted either by the externally provided neutral voltage (broken delta VT) connected to the auxiliary voltage
channel of a VT bank, or by the zero-sequence voltage approximated as a voltage drop developed by the zero-sequence
current, and user-provided zero-sequence equivalent impedance of the system behind the relay.
The trigger can be any FlexLogic operand, but in most applications it is expected to be the same operand, usually a virtual
5 output, that is used to drive an output relay to trip a breaker. To prevent the overwriting of fault events, the disturbance
detector should not be used to trigger a fault report. A FAULT RPT TRIG event is automatically created when the report is
triggered.
If a number of protection elements are ORed to create a fault report trigger, the first operation of any element causing the
OR gate output to become high triggers a fault report. However, If other elements operate during the fault and the first oper-
ated element has not been reset (the OR gate output is still high), the fault report is not triggered again. Considering the
reset time of protection elements, there is very little chance that fault report can be triggered twice in this manner. As the
fault report must capture a usable amount of pre and post-fault data, it can not be triggered faster than every 20 ms.
Each fault report is stored as a file; the relay capacity is fifteen (15) files. An sixteenth (16th) trigger overwrites the oldest
file.
The EnerVista UR Setup software is required to view all captured data. The relay faceplate display can be used to view the
date and time of trigger, the fault type, the distance location of the fault, and the reclose shot number.
The FAULT REPORT 1 SOURCE setting selects the source for input currents and voltages and disturbance detection.
The FAULT 1 REPORT TRIG setting assigns the FlexLogic operand representing the protection element/elements requiring
operational fault location calculations. The distance to fault calculations are initiated by this signal. The FAULT REPORT 1 Z1
MAG and FAULT REPORT 1 Z0 MAG impedances are entered in secondary ohms.

The FAULT REPORT 1 VT SUBSTITUTION setting shall be set to “None” if the relay is fed from wye-connected VTs. If delta-con-
nected VTs are used, and the relay is supplied with the neutral (3V0) voltage, this setting shall be set to “V0”. The method is
still exact, as the fault locator would combine the line-to-line voltage measurements with the neutral voltage measurement
to re-create the line-to-ground voltages. See the ACTUAL VALUES  RECORDS  FAULT REPORTS menu for additional
details. It required to configure the delta and neutral voltages under the source indicated as input for the fault report. Also,
the relay will check if the auxiliary signal configured is marked as “Vn” by the user (under VT setup), and inhibit the fault
location if the auxiliary signal is labeled differently.
If the broken-delta neutral voltage is not available to the relay, an approximation is possible by assuming the missing zero-
sequence voltage to be an inverted voltage drop produced by the zero-sequence current and the user-specified equivalent
zero-sequence system impedance behind the relay: V0 = –Z0 × I0. In order to enable this mode of operation, the FAULT
REPORT 1 VT SUBSTITUTION setting shall be set to “I0”.

The FAULT REP 1 SYSTEM Z0 MAG and FAULT REP 1 SYSTEM Z0 ANGLE settings are used only when the VT SUBSTITUTION set-
ting value is “I0”. The magnitude is to be entered in secondary ohms. This impedance is an average system equivalent
behind the relay. It can be calculated as zero-sequence Thevenin impedance at the local bus with the protected line/feeder

disconnected. The method is accurate only if this setting matches perfectly the actual system impedance during the fault. If
the system exhibits too much variability, this approach is questionable and the fault location results for single-line-to-ground
faults shall be trusted with accordingly. It should be kept in mind that grounding points in vicinity of the installation impact
the system zero-sequence impedance (grounded loads, reactors, zig-zag transformers, shunt capacitor banks, etc.).

Oscillography records contain waveforms captured at the sampling rate as well as other relay data at the point of trigger.
Oscillography records are triggered by a programmable FlexLogic operand. Multiple oscillography records can be captured
simultaneously.
The NUMBER OF RECORDS is selectable, but the number of cycles captured in a single record varies considerably based on
other factors, such as sample rate and the number of operational modules. There is a fixed amount of data storage for
oscillography; the more data captured, the less the number of cycles captured per record. See the ACTUAL VALUES 

including the LEDs of the optional user-programmable pushbuttons.
The test consists of three stages.
1. All 62 LEDs on the relay are illuminated. This is a quick test to verify if any of the LEDs is “burned”. This stage lasts as
long as the control input is on, up to a maximum of 1 minute. After 1 minute, the test will end.
2. All the LEDs are turned off, and then one LED at a time turns on for 1 second, then back off. The test routine starts at
the top left panel, moving from the top to bottom of each LED column. This test checks for hardware failures that lead
to more than one LED being turned on from a single logic point. This stage can be interrupted at any time.
3. All the LEDs are turned on. One LED at a time turns off for 1 second, then back on. The test routine starts at the top left
panel moving from top to bottom of each column of the LEDs. This test checks for hardware failures that lead to more
than one LED being turned off from a single logic point. This stage can be interrupted at any time.
When testing is in progress, the LEDs are controlled by the test sequence, rather than the protection, control, and monitor-
ing features. However, the LED control mechanism accepts all the changes to LED states generated by the relay and
stores the actual LED states (on or off) in memory. When the test completes, the LEDs reflect the actual state resulting from
relay response during testing. The reset pushbutton will not clear any targets when the LED Test is in progress.
A dedicated FlexLogic operand, LED TEST IN PROGRESS, is set for the duration of the test. When the test sequence is initi-
ated, the LED TEST INITIATED event is stored in the event recorder.

There are 48 amber LEDs across the relay faceplate LED panels. Each of these indicators can be programmed to illumi-
nate when the selected FlexLogic operand is in the logic 1 state.
For the standard faceplate, the LEDs are located as follows.
5
• LED Panel 2: user-programmable LEDs 1 through 24
• LED Panel 3: user programmable LEDs 25 through 48
For the enhanced faceplate, the LEDs are located as follows.
• LED column 2: user-programmable LEDs 1 through 12
• LED column 3: user-programmable LEDs 13 through 24
• LED column 4: user-programmable LEDs 25 through 36
• LED column 5: user-programmable LEDs 37 through 48
See the LED Indicators section in chapter 4 for information on the location of these indexed LEDs.
The user-programmable LED settings select the FlexLogic operands that control the LEDs. If the LED 1 TYPE setting is “Self-
Reset” (the default setting), the LED illumination will track the state of the selected LED operand. If the LED 1 TYPE setting is
“Latched”, the LED, once lit, remains so until reset by the faceplate RESET button, from a remote device via a communica-
tions channel, or from any programmed operand, even if the LED operand state de-asserts.

There are three standard control pushbuttons, labeled USER 1, USER 2, and USER 3, on the standard and enhanced front
panels. These are user-programmable and can be used for various applications such as performing an LED test, switching
setting groups, and invoking and scrolling though user-programmable displays.
Firmware revisions 3.2x and older use these three pushbuttons for manual breaker control. This functionality has been
retained – if the breaker control feature is configured to use the three pushbuttons, they cannot be used as user-program-
mable control pushbuttons.
The location of the control pushbuttons are shown in the following figures.

Control pushbuttons are not typically used for critical operations and are not protected by the control password. However,
by supervising their output operands, the user can dynamically enable or disable control pushbuttons for security reasons.
Each control pushbutton asserts its own FlexLogic operand. These operands should be configured appropriately to perform
the desired function. The operand remains asserted as long as the pushbutton is pressed and resets when the pushbutton
is released. A dropout delay of 100 ms is incorporated to ensure fast pushbutton manipulation will be recognized by various
features that may use control pushbuttons as inputs.
An event is logged in the event record (as per user setting) when a control pushbutton is pressed. No event is logged when
the pushbutton is released. The faceplate keys (including control keys) cannot be operated simultaneously – a given key
must be released before the next one can be pressed.

The D30 is provided with this optional feature, specified as an option at the time of ordering. Using the
order code for your device, see the order codes in chapter 2 for details.

User-programmable pushbuttons provide an easy and error-free method of entering digital state (on, off) information. The
number depends on the front panel ordered.
• Enhanced horizontal front panel — 16 user-programmable pushbuttons
• Enhanced vertical front panel — 6 user-programmable pushbuttons
• Standard horizontal front panel — 12 user-programmable pushbuttons
User-programmable pushbuttons require a front panel with that option. If the front panel was ordered separately,
update the EnerVista software under Maintenance > Enable Pushbutton.
NOTE

The digital state can be entered locally (by directly pressing the front panel pushbutton) or remotely (via FlexLogic oper-
ands) into FlexLogic equations, protection elements, and control elements. Typical applications include breaker control,
autorecloser blocking, and setting groups changes. The user-programmable pushbuttons are under the control level of
password protection.

Both the standard and enhanced front panel pushbuttons can be custom labeled with a factory-provided template, available
online at http://www.gegridsolutions.com/multilin. The EnerVista software can also be used to create labels for the
enhanced front panel.
Each pushbutton asserts its own “On” and “Off” FlexLogic operands (for example, PUSHBUTTON 1 ON and PUSHBUTTON 1
OFF). These operands are available for each pushbutton and are used to program specific actions. If any pushbutton is
active, the ANY PB ON operand is asserted.
Each pushbutton has an associated LED indicator. By default, this indicator displays the present status of the correspond-
ing pushbutton (on or off). However, each LED indicator can be assigned to any FlexLogic operand through the PUSHBTN 1
LED CTL setting.

The activation and deactivation of user-programmable pushbuttons depends on whether latched or self-reset mode is pro-
grammed.
• Latched mode: In latched mode, a pushbutton can be set (activated) by asserting the operand assigned to the PUSH-
BTN 1 SET setting or by directly pressing the associated front panel pushbutton. The state of each pushbutton is stored
in non-volatile memory and maintained through a loss of control power.
The pushbutton is reset (deactivated) in latched mode by asserting the operand assigned to the PUSHBTN 1 RESET set-
ting or by directly pressing the associated active front panel pushbutton.
It can also be programmed to reset automatically through the PUSHBTN 1 AUTORST and PUSHBTN 1 AUTORST DELAY set-
tings. These settings enable the autoreset timer and specify the associated time delay. The autoreset timer can be
used in select-before-operate (SBO) breaker control applications, where the command type (close/open) or breaker
location (feeder number) must be selected prior to command execution. The selection must reset automatically if con-
trol is not executed within a specified time period.
• Self-reset mode: In self-reset mode, a user-programmable pushbutton can be set (activated) by asserting the operand
assigned to the PUSHBTN 1 SET setting or by pressing the front panel pushbutton. A pushbutton remains active for the
time it is pressed plus the dropout time specified in the PUSHBTN 1 DROP-OUT TIME setting. If the pushbutton is activated
via FlexLogic, the pulse duration is specified by the PUSHBTN 1 DROP-OUT TIME only. The time the operand remains
assigned to the PUSHBTN 1 SET setting remains On has no effect on the pulse duration.

GE Multilin D30 Line Distance Protection System 5-81


5.2 PRODUCT SETUP 5 SETTINGS

The pulse duration of the remote set or local front panel pushbutton must be at least 50 ms to operate the pushbut-
ton. This allows the user-programmable pushbuttons to properly operate during power cycling events and various
NOTE system disturbances that can cause transient assertion of the operating signals.
The local and remote operation of each user-programmable pushbutton can be inhibited through the PUSHBTN 1 LOCAL and
PUSHBTN 1 REMOTE settings. If local inhibit is applied, the pushbutton ignores set and reset commands executed through
the front panel pushbuttons. If remote inhibit is applied, the pushbutton ignores set and reset commands executed through
FlexLogic operands.
The inhibit functions are not applied to the autoreset feature. The inhibit function can be used in SBO control operations to
prevent user-programmable pushbutton activation and ensuring “one-at-a-time” select operation.
The inhibit functions can also be used to prevent pushbutton activation from the accidental pressing of the front panel push-
buttons. The separate inhibit of the local and remote operation simplifies the implementation of local/remote control super-
vision.
Pushbutton states can be logged by the event recorder. User-defined messages can also be associated with each pushbut-
ton and displayed when the pushbutton is activated and when in latched mode when the pushbutton deactivated.
• PUSHBUTTON 1 FUNCTION: This setting selects the mode of the pushbutton (Self-Reset, Latched, Disabled). If set
to “Disabled,” the pushbutton is not active and the corresponding FlexLogic operands (both “On” and “Off”) are de-
asserted.
• PUSHBTN 1 ID TEXT: This setting specifies the top 20-character line of the user-programmable pushbutton message
and is intended to provide ID information of the pushbutton. See the User-definable Displays section in this chapter for
instructions on how to enter alphanumeric characters from the keypad.
• PUSHBTN 1 ON TEXT: This setting specifies the bottom 20-character line of the user-programmable message and is
displayed when the pushbutton is in the “on” position. See the User-definable Displays section for instructions on

5 •
entering alphanumeric characters from the keypad.
PUSHBTN 1 OFF TEXT: This setting specifies the bottom 20-character line of the user-programmable pushbutton
message and displays when the pushbutton is deactivated and the PUSHBUTTON 1 FUNCTION is “Latched”. A message
does not display when the PUSHBUTTON 1 FUNCTION is “Self-reset” as the pushbutton operand status is implied to be
“Off” upon its release. The length of the “Off” message is configured with the PRODUCT SETUP  DISPLAY PROPERTIES
 FLASH MESSAGE TIME setting.
• PUSHBTN 1 HOLD: This setting specifies the time required for a front panel pushbutton to be pressed before it is
deemed active. This timer is reset upon release of the pushbutton. Note that user-programmable pushbutton operation
requires the front panel pushbutton to be pressed a minimum of 50 ms. This minimum time is required prior to activat-
ing the user-programmable pushbutton hold timer.
• PUSHBTN 1 SET: This setting assigns the FlexLogic operand serving to activate the user-programmable pushbutton
element. The duration of the incoming set signal must be at least 50 ms.
• PUSHBTN 1 RESET: This setting assigns the FlexLogic operand serving to deactivate the user-programmable push-
button element. This setting is applicable only if the user-programmable pushbutton is in "Latched" mode.
• PUSHBTN 1 AUTORST: This setting enables the user-programmable pushbutton autoreset feature. This setting is
applicable only if the pushbutton is in “Latched” mode.
• PUSHBTN 1 AUTORST DELAY: This setting specifies the time delay for automatic reset of the pushbutton when in
"Latched" mode.
• PUSHBTN 1 REMOTE: This setting assigns the FlexLogic operand serving to inhibit user-programmable pushbutton
operation from the operand assigned to the PUSHBTN 1 SET or PUSHBTN 1 RESET settings.
• PUSHBTN 1 LOCAL: This setting assigns the FlexLogic operand serving to inhibit user-programmable pushbutton
operation from the front panel pushbuttons. This inhibit functionality is not applicable to pushbutton autoreset.
• PUSHBTN 1 DROP-OUT TIME: This setting applies only to “Self-Reset” mode and specifies the duration of the user-
programmable pushbutton active status after the front panel pushbutton has been released. When activated remotely,
this setting specifies the entire activation time of the pushbutton; the length of time the operand selected by PUSHBTN
1 SET remains on has no effect on the pulse duration.
• PUSHBTN 1 LED CTL: This setting assigns the FlexLogic operand serving to drive the front panel pushbutton LED. If
this setting is “Off”, then LED operation is directly linked to the PUSHBUTTON 1 ON operand.

• PUSHBTN 1 MESSAGE: This setting controls the behavior of the user-programmable pushbutton that is programmed
in the PUSHBTN 1 ID and PUSHBTN 1 ON TEXT settings, and the behavior of the user-programmable pushbutton off mes-
sage that is programmed in the PUSHBTN1 ID and PUSHBTN 1 OFF TEXT settings.
When set to "Disabled", user-programmable pushbutton messages do not display. Otherwise the on message displays
when the user-programmable pushbutton becomes activated, and if in the "Latched" mode the off message displays
when the user-programmable pushbutton becomes deactivated.
When set to "Normal", the duration the message displays is as specified by the FLASH MESSAGE TIME setting.
When set to "High Priority", the duration of the off message is as specified by the FLASH MESSAGE TIME setting, but the
on message is displayed as long as the user-programmable pushbutton is activated. While activated, target and other
messages are suppressed. To allow front panel keypad operation, when a keypad button is pressed the message is
supressed for 10 seconds.
• PUSHBUTTON 1 EVENTS: If this setting is enabled, each user-programmable pushbutton state change is logged as
an event into the event recorder.

that 16 states may be read out in a single Modbus register. The state bits can be configured so that all of the states which
are of interest to the user are available in a minimum number of Modbus registers.
The state bits may be read out in the “Flex States” register array beginning at Modbus address 0900h. Sixteen states are
packed into each register, with the lowest-numbered state in the lowest-order bit. There are sixteen registers to accommo-
date the 256 state bits.

This menu provides a mechanism for manually creating up to 16 user-defined information displays in a convenient viewing
sequence in the USER DISPLAYS menu (between the TARGETS and ACTUAL VALUES top-level menus). The sub-menus facili-
tate text entry and Modbus register data pointer options for defining the user display content.
Once programmed, the user-definable displays can be viewed in two ways.
• KEYPAD: Use the MENU key to select the USER DISPLAYS menu item to access the first user-definable display (note
that only the programmed screens are displayed). The screens can be scrolled using the UP and DOWN keys. The
display disappears after the default message time-out period specified by the PRODUCT SETUP  DISPLAY PROPER-
TIES  DEFAULT MESSAGE TIMEOUT setting.

• USER-PROGRAMMABLE CONTROL INPUT: The user-definable displays also respond to the INVOKE AND SCROLL
setting. Any FlexLogic operand (in particular, the user-programmable pushbutton operands), can be used to navigate
the programmed displays.
On the rising edge of the configured operand (such as when the pushbutton is pressed), the displays are invoked by
showing the last user-definable display shown during the previous activity. From this moment onward, the operand
acts exactly as the down key and allows scrolling through the configured displays. The last display wraps up to the first
one. The INVOKE AND SCROLL input and the DOWN key operate concurrently.
When the default timer expires (set by the DEFAULT MESSAGE TIMEOUT setting), the relay will start to cycle through the
user displays. The next activity of the INVOKE AND SCROLL input stops the cycling at the currently displayed user dis-
play, not at the first user-defined display. The INVOKE AND SCROLL pulses must last for at least 250 ms to take effect.

Any existing system display can be automatically copied into an available user display by selecting the existing display and
pressing the ENTER key. The display will then prompt ADD TO USER DISPLAY LIST?. After selecting “Yes”, a message indi-
cates that the selected display has been added to the user display list. When this type of entry occurs, the sub-menus are
automatically configured with the proper content – this content may subsequently be edited.
5 This menu is used to enter user-defined text and user-selected Modbus-registered data fields into the particular user dis-
play. Each user display consists of two 20-character lines (top and bottom). The tilde (~) character is used to mark the start
of a data field – the length of the data field needs to be accounted for. Up to five separate data fields can be entered in a
user display – the nth tilde (~) refers to the nth item.
A user display may be entered from the faceplate keypad or the EnerVista UR Setup interface (preferred for convenience).
The following procedure shows how to enter text characters in the top and bottom lines from the faceplate keypad:
1. Select the line to be edited.
2. Press the decimal key to enter text edit mode.
3. Use either VALUE key to scroll through the characters. A space is selected like a character.
4. Press the decimal key to advance the cursor to the next position.
5. Repeat step 3 and continue entering characters until the desired text is displayed.
6. The HELP key may be pressed at any time for context sensitive help information.
7. Press the ENTER key to store the new settings.
To enter a numerical value for any of the five items (the decimal form of the selected Modbus address) from the faceplate
keypad, use the number keypad. Use the value of “0” for any items not being used. Use the HELP key at any selected sys-
tem display (setting, actual value, or command) which has a Modbus address, to view the hexadecimal form of the Modbus
address, then manually convert it to decimal form before entering it (EnerVista UR Setup usage conveniently facilitates this
conversion).
Use the MENU key to go to the user displays menu to view the user-defined content. The current user displays will show in
sequence, changing every four seconds. While viewing a user display, press the ENTER key and then select the ‘Yes”
option to remove the display from the user display list. Use the MENU key again to exit the user displays menu.

This option is available when an INTER-RELAY COMMUNICATIONS card is specified at the time of order-
ing. With the option, direct inputs/outputs display by default. When you enable the teleprotection feature,
direct I/O is not visible.

Direct inputs and outputs are intended for exchange of status information (inputs and outputs) between UR-series relays
connected directly via type 7 or type 2 digital communications cards. The mechanism is very similar to IEC 61850 GSSE,
except that communications takes place over a non-switchable isolated network and is optimized for speed. On type 7
cards that support two channels, direct output messages are sent from both channels simultaneously. This effectively
sends direct output messages both ways around a ring configuration. On type 7 cards that support one channel, direct out-
put messages are sent only in one direction. Messages will be resent (forwarded) when it is determined that the message
did not originate at the receiver.
Direct output message timing is similar to GSSE message timing. Integrity messages (with no state changes) are sent at
least every 1000 ms. Messages with state changes are sent within the main pass scanning the inputs and asserting the
outputs unless the communication channel bandwidth has been exceeded. Two self-tests are performed and signaled by
the following FlexLogic operands:
1. DIRECT RING BREAK (direct input/output ring break). This FlexLogic operand indicates that direct output messages
sent from a UR-series relay are not being received back by the relay.
2. DIRECT DEVICE 1 OFF to DIRECT DEVICE 16 OFF (direct device offline). These FlexLogic operands indicate that direct
output messages from at least one direct device are not being received.
Direct input and output settings are similar to remote input and output settings. The equivalent of the remote device name
strings for direct inputs and outputs is the DIRECT OUTPUT DEVICE ID. The DIRECT OUTPUT DEVICE ID setting identifies the
relay in all direct output messages. All UR-series IEDs in a ring should have unique numbers assigned. The IED ID is used

5 to identify the sender of the direct input and output message.


If the direct input and output scheme is configured to operate in a ring (DIRECT I/O CH1 RING CONFIGURATION or DIRECT I/O
CH2 RING CONFIGURATION is “Yes”), all direct output messages should be received back. If not, the direct input/output ring
break self-test is triggered. The self-test error is signaled by the DIRECT RING BREAK FlexLogic operand.
Select the DIRECT I/O DATA RATE to match the data capabilities of the communications channel. All IEDs communicating
over direct inputs and outputs must be set to the same data rate. UR-series IEDs equipped with dual-channel communica-
tions cards apply the same data rate to both channels. Delivery time for direct input and output messages is approximately
0.2 of a power system cycle at 128 kbps and 0.4 of a power system cycle at 64 kbps, per each ‘bridge’.

NOTE

The DIRECT I/O CHANNEL CROSSOVER setting applies to D30s with dual-channel communication cards and allows crossing
over messages from channel 1 to channel 2. This places all UR-series IEDs into one direct input and output network
regardless of the physical media of the two communication channels.
The following application examples illustrate the basic concepts for direct input and output configuration. See the Inputs
and Outputs section in this chapter for information on configuring FlexLogic operands (flags, bits) to be exchanged.

EXAMPLE 1: EXTENDING THE INPUT/OUTPUT CAPABILITIES OF A UR-SERIES RELAY


Consider an application that requires additional quantities of contact inputs or output contacts or lines of programmable
logic that exceed the capabilities of a single UR-series chassis. The problem is solved by adding an extra UR-series IED,
such as the C30, to satisfy the additional input and output and programmable logic requirements. The two IEDs are con-
nected via single-channel digital communication cards as shown in the figure below.

The message delivery time is about 0.2 of power cycle in both ways (at 128 kbps); that is, from device 1 to device 2, and
from device 2 to device 1. Different communications cards can be selected by the user for this back-to-back connection (for
example: fiber, G.703, or RS422).
EXAMPLE 2: INTERLOCKING BUSBAR PROTECTION
A simple interlocking busbar protection scheme could be accomplished by sending a blocking signal from downstream
devices, say 2, 3, and 4, to the upstream device that monitors a single incomer of the busbar, as shown below.

Message delivery time is approximately 0.2 of power system cycle (at 128 kbps) times number of ‘bridges’ between the ori-
gin and destination. Dual-ring configuration effectively reduces the maximum ‘communications distance’ by a factor of two.
In this configuration the following delivery times are expected (at 128 kbps) if both rings are healthy:
IED 1 to IED 2: 0.2 of power system cycle;
IED 1 to IED 3: 0.4 of power system cycle;
IED 1 to IED 4: 0.2 of power system cycle;
IED 2 to IED 3: 0.2 of power system cycle;
IED 2 to IED 4: 0.4 of power system cycle;
IED 3 to IED 4: 0.2 of power system cycle.
If one ring is broken (say TX2-RX2) the delivery times are as follows:
IED 1 to IED 2: 0.2 of power system cycle;
IED 1 to IED 3: 0.4 of power system cycle;
IED 1 to IED 4: 0.6 of power system cycle;
IED 2 to IED 3: 0.2 of power system cycle;
IED 2 to IED 4: 0.4 of power system cycle;
IED 3 to IED 4: 0.2 of power system cycle.
A coordinating timer for this bus protection scheme could be selected to cover the worst case scenario (0.4 of a power sys-
tem cycle). Upon detecting a broken ring, the coordination time should be adaptively increased to 0.6 of a power system
cycle. The complete application requires addressing a number of issues such as failure of both the communications rings,
failure or out-of-service conditions of one of the relays, etc. Self-monitoring flags of the direct inputs and outputs feature
would be primarily used to address these concerns.

IED 1 to IED 3: 0.5 of power system cycle;
IED 2 to IED 3: 0.2 of power system cycle.
In the above scheme, IEDs 1 and 3 do not communicate directly. IED 2 must be configured to forward the messages as
explained in the Inputs and Outputs section. A blocking pilot-aided scheme should be implemented with more security and,
ideally, faster message delivery time. This is accomplished using a dual-ring configuration as shown here.

The D30 checks integrity of the incoming direct input and output messages using a 32-bit CRC. The CRC alarm function is
available for monitoring the communication medium noise by tracking the rate of messages failing the CRC check. The
monitoring function counts all incoming messages, including messages that failed the CRC check. A separate counter adds
up messages that failed the CRC check. When the failed CRC counter reaches the user-defined level specified by the CRC
ALARM CH1 THRESHOLD setting within the user-defined message count CRC ALARM 1 CH1 COUNT, the DIR IO CH1 CRC ALARM
FlexLogic operand is set.
When the total message counter reaches the user-defined maximum specified by the CRC ALARM CH1 MESSAGE COUNT set-
ting, both the counters reset and the monitoring process is restarted.

The operand shall be configured to drive an output contact, user-programmable LED, or selected communication-based
output. Latching and acknowledging conditions - if required - should be programmed accordingly.
The CRC alarm function is available on a per-channel basis. The total number of direct input and output messages that
failed the CRC check is available as the ACTUAL VALUES  STATUS  DIRECT INPUTS  CRC FAIL COUNT CH1 actual
value.
• Message count and length of the monitoring window: To monitor communications integrity, the relay sends 1 message
per second (at 64 kbps) or 2 messages per second (128 kbps) even if there is no change in the direct outputs. For
example, setting the CRC ALARM CH1 MESSAGE COUNT to “10000”, corresponds a time window of about 160 minutes at
64 kbps and 80 minutes at 128 kbps. If the messages are sent faster as a result of direct outputs activity, the monitor-
ing time interval will shorten. This should be taken into account when determining the CRC ALARM CH1 MESSAGE COUNT
setting. For example, if the requirement is a maximum monitoring time interval of 10 minutes at 64 kbps, then the CRC
ALARM CH1 MESSAGE COUNT should be set to 10 × 60 × 1 = 600.

• Correlation of failed CRC and bit error rate (BER): The CRC check may fail if one or more bits in a packet are cor-
rupted. Therefore, an exact correlation between the CRC fail rate and the BER is not possible. Under certain assump-
tions an approximation can be made as follows. A direct input and output packet containing 20 bytes results in 160 bits
of data being sent and therefore, a transmission of 63 packets is equivalent to 10,000 bits. A BER of 10–4 implies 1 bit
error for every 10000 bits sent or received. Assuming the best case of only 1 bit error in a failed packet, having 1 failed
packet for every 63 received is about equal to a BER of 10–4.

The D30 checks integrity of the direct input and output communication ring by counting unreturned messages. In the ring
configuration, all messages originating at a given device should return within a pre-defined period of time. The unreturned
messages alarm function is available for monitoring the integrity of the communication ring by tracking the rate of unre-
turned messages. This function counts all the outgoing messages and a separate counter adds the messages have failed
to return. When the unreturned messages counter reaches the user-definable level specified by the UNRET MSGS ALARM

This option is available when an INTER-RELAY COMMUNICATIONS card is specified at the time of order-
ing. With the option, direct inputs/outputs display by default. When you enable the teleprotection feature,
direct I/O is not visible.

Digital teleprotection functionality is designed to transfer protection commands between two or three relays in a secure,
fast, dependable, and deterministic fashion. Possible applications are permissive or blocking pilot schemes and direct
5
transfer trip (DTT). Teleprotection can be applied over any analog or digital channels and any communications media, such
as direct fiber, copper wires, optical networks, or microwave radio links. A mixture of communication media is possible.
Once teleprotection is enabled and the teleprotection input/outputs are configured, data packets are transmitted continu-
ously every 1/4 cycle (3/8 cycle if using C37.94 modules) from peer-to-peer. Security of communication channel data is
achieved by using CRC-32 on the data packet.
Teleprotection inputs/outputs and direct inputs/outputs are mutually exclusive – as such, they cannot be used
simultaneously. Once teleprotection inputs and outputs are enabled, direct inputs and outputs are blocked, and vice
NOTE versa.
• NUMBER OF TERMINALS: Specifies whether the teleprotection system operates between two peers or three peers.
• NUMBER OF CHANNELS: Specifies how many channels are used. If the NUMBER OF TERMINALS is “3” (three-terminal
system), set the NUMBER OF CHANNELS to “2”. For a two-terminal system, the NUMBER OF CHANNELS can set to “1” or
“2” (redundant channels).
• LOCAL RELAY ID NUMBER, TERMINAL 1 RELAY ID NUMBER, and TERMINAL 2 RELAY ID NUMBER: In installa-
tions that use multiplexers or modems, it is desirable to ensure that the data used by the relays protecting a given line
is from the correct relays. The teleprotection function performs this check by reading the message ID sent by transmit-
ting relays and comparing it to the programmed ID in the receiving relay. This check is also used to block inputs if inad-
vertently set to loopback mode or data is being received from a wrong relay by checking the ID on a received channel.
If an incorrect ID is found on a channel during normal operation, the TELEPROT CH1 ID FAIL or TELEPROT CH2 ID FAIL
FlexLogic operand is set, driving the event with the same name and blocking the teleprotection inputs. For commis-
sioning purposes, the result of channel identification is also shown in the STATUS  CHANNEL TESTS  VALIDITY OF
CHANNEL CONFIGURATION actual value. The default value of “0” for the LOCAL RELAY ID NUMBER indicates that relay ID
is not to be checked. On two- terminals two-channel systems, the same LOCAL RELAY ID NUMBER is transmitted over
both channels; as such, only the TERMINAL 1 ID NUMBER has to be programmed on the receiving end.

5 SETTINGS 5.3 REMOTE RESOURCES

5.3REMOTE RESOURCES 5.3.1 REMOTE RESOURCES CONFIGURATION

When D30 is ordered with a process card module as a part of HardFiber system, then an additional Remote Resources
menu tree is available in EnerVista UR Setup software to allow configuration of the HardFiber system.

Figure 5–23: REMOTE RESOURCES CONFIGURATION MENU


The remote resources settings configure a D30 with a process bus module to work with HardFiber Bricks. Remote
resources configuration is only available through the EnerVista UR Setup software, and is not available through the D30
front panel. A Brick provides eight AC measurements, along with contact inputs, DC analog inputs, and contact outputs, to 5
be the remote interface to field equipment such as circuit breakers and transformers. The D30 with a process bus module
has access to all of the capabilities of up to eight Bricks. Remote resources settings configure the point-to-point connection
between specific fiber optic ports on the D30 process card and specific Brick. The relay is then configured to measure spe-
cific currents, voltages and contact inputs from those Bricks, and to control specific outputs.
The configuration process for remote resources is straightforward and consists of the following steps.
• Configure the field units. This establishes the point-to-point connection between a specific port on the relay process
bus module, and a specific digital core on a specific Brick. This is a necessary first step in configuring a process bus
relay.
• Configure the AC banks. This sets the primary and secondary quantities and connections for currents and voltages.
AC bank configuration also provides a provision for redundant measurements for currents and voltages, a powerful
reliability improvement possible with process bus.
• Configure signal sources. This functionality of the D30 has not changed other than the requirement to use currents and
voltages established by AC bank configuration under the remote resources menu.
• Configure field contact inputs, field contact outputs, RTDs, and transducers as required for the application's functional-
ity. These inputs and outputs are the physical interface to circuit breakers, transformers, and other equipment. They
replace the traditional contact inputs and outputs located at the relay to virtually eliminate copper wiring.
• Configure shared inputs and outputs as required for the application's functionality. Shared inputs and outputs are dis-
tinct binary channels that provide high-speed protection quality signaling between relays through a Brick.
For additional information on how to configure a relay with a process bus module, see GE publication number GEK-113658:

See the Introduction to AC Sources section at the beginning of this chapter for details.
These settings are critical for all features that have settings dependent on current measurements. When the relay is
ordered, the CT module must be specified to include a standard or sensitive ground input. As the phase CTs are connected
in wye (star), the calculated phasor sum of the three phase currents (IA + IB + IC = neutral current = 3Io) is used as the
input for the neutral overcurrent elements. In addition, a zero-sequence (core balance) CT which senses current in all of the

5 circuit primary conductors, or a CT in a neutral grounding conductor can also be used. For this configuration, the ground CT
primary rating must be entered. To detect low level ground fault currents, the sensitive ground input can be used. In this
case, the sensitive ground CT primary rating must be entered. Refer to chapter 3 for more details on CT connections.
Enter the rated CT primary current values. For both 1000:5 and 1000:1 CTs, the entry would be 1000. For correct opera-
tion, the CT secondary rating must match the setting (which must also correspond to the specific CT connections used).
The following example illustrates how multiple CT inputs (current banks) are summed as one source current. Given the fol-
lowing current banks:
• F1: CT bank with 500:1 ratio.
• F5: CT bank with 1000:1 ratio
The following rule applies:
SRC 1 = F1 + F5 (EQ 5.6)

1 pu is the highest primary current. In this case, 1000 is entered and the secondary current from the 500:1 and 800:1 ratio
CTs will be adjusted to that created by a 1000:1 CT before summation. If a protection element is set up to act on SRC 1 cur-
rents, then a pickup level of 1 pu will operate on 1000 A primary.
The same rule applies for current sums from CTs with different secondary taps (5 A and 1 A).

The power system NOMINAL FREQUENCY value is used as a default to set the digital sampling rate if the system frequency
cannot be measured from available signals. This may happen if the signals are not present or are heavily distorted. Before
reverting to the nominal frequency, the frequency tracking algorithm holds the last valid frequency measurement for a safe
period of time while waiting for the signals to reappear or for the distortions to decay.
The phase sequence of the power system is required to properly calculate sequence components and power parameters.
The PHASE ROTATION setting matches the power system phase sequence. Note that this setting informs the relay of the
actual system phase sequence, either ABC or ACB. CT and VT inputs on the relay, labeled as A, B, and C, must be con-
nected to system phases A, B, and C for correct operation.

5.4 SYSTEM SETUP 5 SETTINGS

The FREQUENCY AND PHASE REFERENCE setting determines which signal source is used (and hence which AC signal) for
phase angle reference. The AC signal used is prioritized based on the AC inputs that are configured for the signal source:
phase voltages takes precedence, followed by auxiliary voltage, then phase currents, and finally ground current.
For three phase selection, phase A is used for angle referencing ( V ANGLE REF = V A ), while Clarke transformation of the
phase signals is used for frequency metering and tracking ( V FREQUENCY = ( 2V A – V B – V C ) ⁄ 3 ) for better performance dur-
ing fault, open pole, and VT and CT fail conditions.
The phase reference and frequency tracking AC signals are selected based upon the Source configuration, regardless of
whether or not a particular signal is actually applied to the relay.
Phase angle of the reference signal always displays zero degrees and all other phase angles are relative to this signal. If
the pre-selected reference signal is not measurable at a given time, the phase angles are not referenced.
The phase angle referencing is done via a phase locked loop, which can synchronize independent UR-series relays if they
have the same AC signal reference. This results in very precise correlation of phase angle indications between different
UR-series relays.
FREQUENCY TRACKING is set to “Disabled” only in unusual circumstances; consult the factory for special variable-
frequency applications.
NOTE

The frequency tracking feature functions only when the D30 is in the “Programmed” mode. If the D30 is “Not Pro-
grammed”, then metering values are available but can exhibit significant errors.

Identical menus are available for each source. The "SRC 1" text can be replaced by with a user-defined name appropriate
for the associated source.
The first letter in the source identifier represents the module slot position. The number directly following this letter repre-
sents either the first bank of four channels (1, 2, 3, 4) called “1” or the second bank of four channels (5, 6, 7, 8) called “5” in
a particular CT/VT module. See the Introduction to AC Sources section at the beginning of this chapter for details on this
concept.
It is possible to select the sum of all CT combinations. The first channel displayed is the CT to which all others will be
referred. For example, the selection “F1+F5” indicates the sum of each phase from channels “F1” and “F5”, scaled to
whichever CT has the higher ratio. Selecting “None” hides the associated actual values.
The approach used to configure the AC sources consists of several steps; first step is to specify the information about each
CT and VT input. For CT inputs, this is the nominal primary and secondary current. For VTs, this is the connection type,
ratio and nominal secondary voltage. Once the inputs have been specified, the configuration for each source is entered,
including specifying which CTs are summed together.

User selection of AC parameters for comparator elements:


CT/VT modules automatically calculate all current and voltage parameters from the available inputs. Users must select the
specific input parameters to be measured by every element in the relevant settings menu. The internal design of the ele-
ment specifies which type of parameter to use and provides a setting for source selection. In elements where the parameter
may be either fundamental or RMS magnitude, such as phase time overcurrent, two settings are provided. One setting
specifies the source, the second setting selects between fundamental phasor and RMS.
AC input actual values:
The calculated parameters associated with the configured voltage and current inputs are displayed in the current and volt-
age sections of actual values. Only the phasor quantities associated with the actual AC physical input channels will be dis-
played here. All parameters contained within a configured source are displayed in the sources section of the actual values.
DISTURBANCE DETECTORS (INTERNAL):
The disturbance detector (ANSI 50DD) element is a sensitive current disturbance detector that detects any disturbance on
the protected system. The 50DD function is used directly in some elements in the relay, for example VT Fuse Failure detec-
tor or Fault Report. It can also be used to supervise current-based elements to prevent maloperation as a result of the
wrong settings or external CT wiring problem. A disturbance detector is provided for each source.
The 50DD function responds to the changes in magnitude of the sequence currents. The disturbance detector scheme
logic is as follows:

The disturbance detector responds to the change in currents of twice the current cut-off level. The default cut-off threshold
is 0.02 pu; thus by default the disturbance detector responds to a change of 0.04 pu. The metering sensitivity setting (PROD-

accordingly.

A description of the operation of the breaker control and status monitoring features is provided in chapter 4. Only informa-
tion concerning programming of the associated settings is covered here. These features are provided for two or more
breakers; a user may use only those portions of the design relevant to a single breaker, which must be breaker 1.
The number of breaker control elements is dependent on the number of CT/VT modules specified with the D30. The follow-
ing settings are available for each breaker control element.
• BREAKER 1 FUNCTION: This setting enables and disables the operation of the breaker control feature.
• BREAKER1 PUSH BUTTON CONTROL: Set to “Enable” to allow faceplate push button operations.
• BREAKER 1 NAME: Assign a user-defined name (up to six characters) to the breaker. This name will be used in flash
messages related to breaker 1.
• BREAKER 1 MODE: This setting selects “3-Pole” mode, where all breaker poles are operated simultaneously, or “1-
Pole” mode where all breaker poles are operated either independently or simultaneously.
• BREAKER 1 OPEN: This setting selects an operand that creates a programmable signal to operate an output relay to
open breaker 1.
• BREAKER 1 BLK OPEN: This setting selects an operand that prevents opening of the breaker. This setting can be
used for select-before-operate functionality or to block operation from a panel switch or from SCADA.
• BREAKER 1 CLOSE: This setting selects an operand that creates a programmable signal to operate an output relay
to close breaker 1.
• BREAKER 1 BLK CLOSE: This setting selects an operand that prevents closing of the breaker. This setting can be
used for select-before-operate functionality or to block operation from a panel switch or from SCADA.
• BREAKER 1 ΦA/3P CLOSED: This setting selects an operand, usually a contact input connected to a breaker auxil-
iary position tracking mechanism. This input should be a normally-open 52/a status input to create a logic 1 when the
5 breaker is closed. If the BREAKER 1 MODE setting is selected as “3-Pole”, this setting selects a single input as the oper-
and used to track the breaker open or closed position. If the mode is selected as “1-Pole”, the input mentioned above
is used to track phase A and the BREAKER 1 ΦB and BREAKER 1 ΦC settings select operands to track phases B and C,
respectively.
• BREAKER 1 ΦA/3P OPND: This setting selects an operand, usually a contact input, that should be a normally-closed
52/b status input to create a logic 1 when the breaker is open. If a separate 52/b contact input is not available, then the
inverted BREAKER 1 CLOSED status signal can be used.
• BREAKER 1 ΦB CLOSED: If the mode is selected as three-pole, this setting has no function. If the mode is selected
as single-pole, this input is used to track the breaker phase B closed position as above for phase A.
• BREAKER 1 ΦB OPENED: If the mode is selected as three-pole, this setting has no function. If the mode is selected
as single-pole, this input is used to track the breaker phase B opened position as above for phase A.
• BREAKER 1 ΦC CLOSED: If the mode is selected as three-pole, this setting has no function. If the mode is selected
as single-pole, this input is used to track the breaker phase C closed position as above for phase A.
• BREAKER 1 ΦC OPENED: If the mode is selected as three-pole, this setting has no function. If the mode is selected
as single-pole, this input is used to track the breaker phase C opened position as above for phase A.
• BREAKER 1 Toperate: This setting specifies the required interval to overcome transient disagreement between the
52/a and 52/b auxiliary contacts during breaker operation. If transient disagreement still exists after this time has
expired, the BREAKER 1 BAD STATUS FlexLogic operand is asserted from alarm or blocking purposes.
• BREAKER 1 EXT ALARM: This setting selects an operand, usually an external contact input, connected to a breaker
alarm reporting contact.
• BREAKER 1 ALARM DELAY: This setting specifies the delay interval during which a disagreement of status among
the three-pole position tracking operands will not declare a pole disagreement. This allows for non-simultaneous oper-
ation of the poles.
• MANUAL CLOSE RECAL1 TIME: This setting specifies the interval required to maintain setting changes in effect after
an operator has initiated a manual close command to operate a circuit breaker.
• BREAKER 1 OUT OF SV: Selects an operand indicating that breaker 1 is out-of-service.

The disconnect switch control element contains the auxiliary logic for status and serves as the interface for opening and
closing of disconnect switches from SCADA or through the front panel interface. The disconnect switch control element can
be used to create interlocking functionality. For greater security in determination of the switch pole position, both the 89/a
and 89/b auxiliary contacts are used with reporting of the discrepancy between them. The number of available disconnect
switches is four per breaker.
To use this element, configure the contact outputs that open and close the disconnect switch to use FlexLogic operands
SWITCH 1 OFF CMD and SWITCH 1 ON CMD, and configure the disconnect switch control element's inputs as outlined here.

• SWITCH 1 FUNCTION: This setting enables and disables the operation of the disconnect switch element.

and 1.03 to 20.00. This data is converted into two continuous curves by linear interpolation between data points. To enter a
custom FlexCurve, enter the reset and operate times (using the VALUE keys) for each selected pickup point (using the
MESSAGE UP/DOWN keys) for the desired protection curve (A, B, C, or D).

5 SETTINGS 5.4 SYSTEM SETUP

The relay using a given FlexCurve applies linear approximation for times between the user-entered points. Special
care must be applied when setting the two points that are close to the multiple of pickup of 1; that is, 0.98 pu and
NOTE
1.03 pu. It is recommended to set the two times to a similar value; otherwise, the linear approximation may result in
undesired behavior for the operating quantity that is close to 1.00 pu.

b) FLEXCURVE CONFIGURATION WITH ENERVISTA UR SETUP


The EnerVista UR Setup software allows for easy configuration and management of FlexCurves and their associated data
points. Prospective FlexCurves can be configured from a selection of standard curves to provide the best approximate fit,
then specific data points can be edited afterwards. Alternately, curve data can be imported from a specified file (.csv format)
by selecting the Import Data From EnerVista UR Setup setting.
Curves and data can be exported, viewed, and cleared by clicking the appropriate buttons. FlexCurves are customized by
editing the operating time (ms) values at pre-defined per-unit current multiples. Note that the pickup multiples start at zero
(implying the "reset time"), operating time below pickup, and operating time above pickup.

c) RECLOSER CURVE EDITING


Recloser curve selection is special in that recloser curves can be shaped into a composite curve with a minimum response
time and a fixed time above a specified pickup multiples. There are 41 recloser curve types supported. These definite oper-
ating times are useful to coordinate operating times, typically at higher currents and where upstream and downstream pro-
tective devices have different operating characteristics. The recloser curve configuration window shown below appears
when the Initialize From EnerVista UR Setup setting is set to “Recloser Curve” and the Initialize FlexCurve button is
clicked.

Multiplier: Scales (multiplies) the curve operating times

Addr: Adds the time specified in this field (in ms) to each
5
curve operating time value.

Minimum Response Time (MRT): If enabled, the MRT setting


defines the shortest operating time even if the curve suggests
a shorter time at higher current multiples. A composite operating
characteristic is effectively defined. For current multiples lower
than the intersection point, the curve dictates the operating time;
otherwise, the MRT does. An information message appears
when attempting to apply an MRT shorter than the minimum
curve time.

High Current Time: Allows the user to set a pickup multiple


from which point onwards the operating time is fixed. This is
normally only required at higher current levels. The HCT Ratio
defines the high current pickup multiple; the HCT defines the
operating time.
842721A1.CDR

Figure 5–29: RECLOSER CURVE INITIALIZATION


The multiplier and adder settings only affect the curve portion of the characteristic and not the MRT and HCT set-
tings. The HCT settings override the MRT settings for multiples of pickup greater than the HCT ratio.

d) EXAMPLE
A composite curve can be created from the GE_111 standard with MRT = 200 ms and HCT initially disabled and then
enabled at eight (8) times pickup with an operating time of 30 ms. At approximately four (4) times pickup, the curve operat-
ing time is equal to the MRT and from then onwards the operating time remains at 200 ms (see below).

842719A1.CDR

Figure 5–30: COMPOSITE RECLOSER CURVE WITH HCT DISABLED


With the HCT feature enabled, the operating time reduces to 30 ms for pickup multiples exceeding 8 times pickup.

842720A1.CDR

Figure 5–31: COMPOSITE RECLOSER CURVE WITH HCT ENABLED


Configuring a composite curve with an increase in operating time at increased pickup multiples is not allowed. If this
is attempted, the EnerVista UR Setup software generates an error message and discards the proposed changes.

5.5FLEXLOGIC 5.5.1 INTRODUCTION TO FLEXLOGIC

To provide maximum flexibility to the user, the arrangement of internal digital logic combines fixed and user-programmed
parameters. Logic upon which individual features are designed is fixed, and all other logic, from digital input signals through
elements or combinations of elements to digital outputs, is variable. The user has complete control of all variable logic
through FlexLogic. In general, the system receives analog and digital inputs which it uses to produce analog and digital out-
puts. The major sub-systems of a generic UR-series relay involved in this process are shown below.

Figure 5–40: UR ARCHITECTURE OVERVIEW


The states of all digital signals used in the D30 are represented by flags (or FlexLogic operands, which are described later
in this section). A digital “1” is represented by a 'set' flag. Any external contact change-of-state can be used to block an ele-
ment from operating, as an input to a control feature in a FlexLogic equation, or to operate a contact output. The state of the
contact input can be displayed locally or viewed remotely via the communications facilities provided. If a simple scheme
where a contact input is used to block an element is desired, this selection is made when programming the element. This
capability also applies to the other features that set flags: elements, virtual inputs, remote inputs, schemes, and human
operators.
If more complex logic than presented above is required, it is implemented via FlexLogic. For example, if it is desired to have
the closed state of contact input H7a and the operated state of the phase undervoltage element block the operation of the
phase time overcurrent element, the two control input states are programmed in a FlexLogic equation. This equation ANDs
the two control inputs to produce a virtual output which is then selected when programming the phase time overcurrent to
be used as a blocking input. Virtual outputs can only be created by FlexLogic equations.
Traditionally, protective relay logic has been relatively limited. Any unusual applications involving interlocks, blocking, or
supervisory functions had to be hard-wired using contact inputs and outputs. FlexLogic minimizes the requirement for aux-
iliary components and wiring while making more complex schemes possible.

5.5 FLEXLOGIC 5 SETTINGS

The logic that determines the interaction of inputs, elements, schemes and outputs is field programmable through the use
of logic equations that are sequentially processed. The use of virtual inputs and outputs in addition to hardware is available
internally and on the communication ports for other relays to use (distributed FlexLogic).
FlexLogic allows users to customize the relay through a series of equations that consist of operators and operands. The
operands are the states of inputs, elements, schemes and outputs. The operators are logic gates, timers and latches (with
set and reset inputs). A system of sequential operations allows any combination of specified operands to be assigned as
inputs to specified operators to create an output. The final output of an equation is a numbered register called a virtual out-
put. Virtual outputs can be used as an input operand in any equation, including the equation that generates the output, as a
seal-in or other type of feedback.
A FlexLogic equation consists of parameters that are either operands or operators. Operands have a logic state of 1 or 0.
Operators provide a defined function, such as an AND gate or a Timer. Each equation defines the combinations of parame-
ters to be used to set a Virtual Output flag. Evaluation of an equation results in either a 1 (=ON, i.e. flag set) or 0 (=OFF, i.e.
flag not set). Each equation is evaluated at least 4 times every power system cycle.
Some types of operands are present in the relay in multiple instances; e.g. contact and remote inputs. These types of oper-
ands are grouped together (for presentation purposes only) on the faceplate display. The characteristics of the different
types of operands are listed in the table below.

5.5.2 FLEXLOGIC RULES

When forming a FlexLogic equation, the sequence in the linear array of parameters must follow these general rules:
1. Operands must precede the operator which uses the operands as inputs.
2. Operators have only one output. The output of an operator must be used to create a virtual output if it is to be used as
an input to two or more operators.
3. Assigning the output of an operator to a virtual output terminates the equation.
4. A timer operator (for example, "TIMER 1") or virtual output assignment (for example, " = Virt Op 1") may only be used
once. If this rule is broken, a syntax error will be declared.

5.5.3 FLEXLOGIC EVALUATION

Each equation is evaluated in the ascending order in which the parameters have been entered.
FlexLogic provides built-in latches that by definition have a memory action, remaining in the set state after the set
input has been asserted. These built-in latches are reset dominant, meaning that if logical "1" is applied to both set
NOTE and reset entries simultaneously, then the output of the latch is logical "0." However, they are volatile, meaning that
they reset upon removal of control power.
When making changes to FlexLogic entries in the settings, all FlexLogic equations are re-compiled whenever any
new FlexLogic entry value is entered, and as a result of the re-compile all latches are reset automatically.

5.5.4 FLEXLOGIC EXAMPLE

This section provides an example of implementing logic for a typical application. The sequence of the steps is quite impor-
tant as it should minimize the work necessary to develop the relay settings. Note that the example presented in the figure
below is intended to demonstrate the procedure, not to solve a specific application situation.
In the example below, it is assumed that logic has already been programmed to produce virtual outputs 1 and 2, and is only
a part of the full set of equations used. When using FlexLogic, it is important to make a note of each virtual output used – a
virtual output designation (1 to 96) can only be properly assigned once.

Figure 5–41: EXAMPLE LOGIC SCHEME

5 1. Inspect the example logic diagram to determine if the required logic can be implemented with the FlexLogic operators.
If this is not possible, the logic must be altered until this condition is satisfied. Once this is done, count the inputs to
each gate to verify that the number of inputs does not exceed the FlexLogic limits, which is unlikely but possible. If the
number of inputs is too high, subdivide the inputs into multiple gates to produce an equivalent. For example, if 25
inputs to an AND gate are required, connect Inputs 1 through 16 to AND(16), 17 through 25 to AND(9), and the outputs
from these two gates to AND(2).
Inspect each operator between the initial operands and final virtual outputs to determine if the output from the operator
is used as an input to more than one following operator. If so, the operator output must be assigned as a virtual output.
For the example shown above, the output of the AND gate is used as an input to both OR#1 and Timer 1, and must
therefore be made a virtual output and assigned the next available number (i.e. Virtual Output 3). The final output must
also be assigned to a virtual output as virtual output 4, which will be programmed in the contact output section to oper-
ate relay H1 (that is, contact output H1).
Therefore, the required logic can be implemented with two FlexLogic equations with outputs of virtual output 3 and vir-
tual output 4 as shown below.

2. Prepare a logic diagram for the equation to produce virtual output 3, as this output will be used as an operand in the
virtual output 4 equation (create the equation for every output that will be used as an operand first, so that when these
operands are required they will already have been evaluated and assigned to a specific virtual output). The logic for
virtual output 3 is shown below with the final output assigned.

4. Program the FlexLogic equation for virtual output 3 by translating the logic into available FlexLogic parameters. The
equation is formed one parameter at a time until the required logic is complete. It is generally easier to start at the out-
put end of the equation and work back towards the input, as shown in the following steps. It is also recommended to list
operator inputs from bottom to top. For demonstration, the final output will be arbitrarily identified as parameter 99, and
each preceding parameter decremented by one in turn. Until accustomed to using FlexLogic, it is suggested that a
worksheet with a series of cells marked with the arbitrary parameter numbers be prepared, as shown below.

5. Following the procedure outlined, start with parameter 99, as follows:
99: The final output of the equation is virtual output 3, which is created by the operator "= Virt Op n". This parameter is
therefore "= Virt Op 3."

98: The gate preceding the output is an AND, which in this case requires two inputs. The operator for this gate is a 2-
input AND so the parameter is “AND(2)”. Note that FlexLogic rules require that the number of inputs to most types
of operators must be specified to identify the operands for the gate. As the 2-input AND will operate on the two
operands preceding it, these inputs must be specified, starting with the lower.
97: This lower input to the AND gate must be passed through an inverter (the NOT operator) so the next parameter is
“NOT”. The NOT operator acts upon the operand immediately preceding it, so specify the inverter input next.
96: The input to the NOT gate is to be contact input H1c. The ON state of a contact input can be programmed to be
set when the contact is either open or closed. Assume for this example the state is to be ON for a closed contact.
The operand is therefore “Cont Ip H1c On”.
95: The last step in the procedure is to specify the upper input to the AND gate, the operated state of digital element 2.
This operand is "DIG ELEM 2 OP".
Writing the parameters in numerical order can now form the equation for virtual output 3:
[95] DIG ELEM 2 OP
[96] Cont Ip H1c On
[97] NOT
[98] AND(2)
[99] = Virt Op 3
It is now possible to check that this selection of parameters will produce the required logic by converting the set of parame-
ters into a logic diagram. The result of this process is shown below, which is compared to the logic for virtual output 3 dia-
gram as a check.

7. Now write the complete FlexLogic expression required to implement the logic, making an effort to assemble the equa-
tion in an order where Virtual Outputs that will be used as inputs to operators are created before needed. In cases
where a lot of processing is required to perform logic, this may be difficult to achieve, but in most cases will not cause
problems as all logic is calculated at least four times per power frequency cycle. The possibility of a problem caused by
sequential processing emphasizes the necessity to test the performance of FlexLogic before it is placed in service.
In the following equation, virtual output 3 is used as an input to both latch 1 and timer 1 as arranged in the order shown
below:

In the expression above, the virtual output 4 input to the four-input OR is listed before it is created. This is typical of a
form of feedback, in this case, used to create a seal-in effect with the latch, and is correct.
8. The logic should always be tested after it is loaded into the relay, in the same fashion as has been used in the past.
Testing can be simplified by placing an "END" operator within the overall set of FlexLogic equations. The equations will
then only be evaluated up to the first "END" operator.
The "On" and "Off" operands can be placed in an equation to establish a known set of conditions for test purposes, and
the "INSERT" and "DELETE" commands can be used to modify equations.

A FlexElement is a universal comparator that can be used to monitor any analog actual value calculated by the relay or a
net difference of any two analog actual values of the same type. The effective operating signal could be treated as a signed
number or its absolute value could be used as per user's choice.
FlexElements run every half power cycle (every four protection passes).
The element can be programmed to respond either to a signal level or to a rate-of-change (delta) over a pre-defined period
of time. The output operand is asserted when the operating signal is higher than a threshold or lower than a threshold as
per user's choice.

The FLEXELEMENT 1 +IN setting specifies the first (non-inverted) input to the FlexElement. Zero is assumed as the input if
this setting is set to “Off”. For proper operation of the element at least one input must be selected. Otherwise, the element
5 will not assert its output operands.
This FLEXELEMENT 1 –IN setting specifies the second (inverted) input to the FlexElement. Zero is assumed as the input if
this setting is set to “Off”. For proper operation of the element at least one input must be selected. Otherwise, the element
will not assert its output operands. This input should be used to invert the signal if needed for convenience, or to make the
element respond to a differential signal such as for a top-bottom oil temperature differential alarm. The element will not
operate if the two input signals are of different types, for example if one tries to use active power and phase angle to build
the effective operating signal.
The element responds directly to the differential signal if the FLEXELEMENT 1 INPUT MODE setting is set to “Signed”. The ele-
ment responds to the absolute value of the differential signal if this setting is set to “Absolute”. Sample applications for the
“Absolute” setting include monitoring the angular difference between two phasors with a symmetrical limit angle in both
directions, monitoring power regardless of its direction, or monitoring a trend.
The element responds directly to its operating signal – as defined by the FLEXELEMENT 1 +IN, FLEXELEMENT 1 –IN and FLEX-
ELEMENT 1 INPUT MODE settings – if the FLEXELEMENT 1 COMP MODE setting is set to “Level”. The element responds to the
rate of change of its operating signal if the FLEXELEMENT 1 COMP MODE setting is set to “Delta”. In this case the FLEXELE-
MENT 1 dt UNIT and FLEXELEMENT 1 dt settings specify how the rate of change is derived.

The FLEXELEMENT 1 DIRECTION setting enables the relay to respond to either high or low values of the operating signal. The
following figure explains the application of the FLEXELEMENT 1 DIRECTION, FLEXELEMENT 1 PICKUP and FLEXELEMENT 1 HYS-

The FLEXELEMENT 1 PICKUP setting specifies the operating threshold for the effective operating signal of the element. If set
to “Over”, the element picks up when the operating signal exceeds the FLEXELEMENT 1 PICKUP value. If set to “Under”, the
element picks up when the operating signal falls below the FLEXELEMENT 1 PICKUP value.
The FLEXELEMENT 1 HYSTERESIS setting controls the element dropout. It should be noticed that both the operating signal
and the pickup threshold can be negative facilitating applications such as reverse power alarm protection. The FlexElement
can be programmed to work with all analog actual values measured by the relay. The FLEXELEMENT 1 PICKUP setting is
entered in per-unit values using the following definitions of the base units:

Each protection element can be assigned up to six different sets of settings according to setting group designations 1 to 6.
The performance of these elements is defined by the active setting group at a given time. Multiple setting groups allow the
user to conveniently change protection settings for different operating situations (for example, altered power system config-
uration, season of the year, etc.). The active setting group can be preset or selected via the SETTING GROUPS menu (see the

The line pickup feature uses a combination of undercurrent and undervoltage to identify a line that has been de-energized
(line end open). Alternately, the user may assign a FlexLogic operand to the TERMINAL OPEN setting that specifies the termi-
nal status. Three instantaneous overcurrent elements are used to identify a previously de-energized line that has been
closed onto a fault. Faults other than close-in faults can be identified satisfactorily with the distance elements.
Co-ordination features are included to ensure satisfactory operation when high speed automatic reclosure (AR) is
employed. The AR CO-ORD DELAY setting allows the overcurrent setting to be below the expected load current seen after
reclose. Co-ordination is achieved by all of the LINE PICKP UV elements resetting and blocking the trip path before the AR
CO-ORD DELAY times out. The AR CO-ORD BYPASS setting is normally enabled. It is disabled if high speed autoreclosure is
implemented.
The line pickup protection incorporates zone 1 extension capability. When the line is being re-energized from the local ter-
minal, pickup of an overreaching zone 2 or excessive phase current within eight power cycles after the autorecloser issues
a close command results in the LINE PICKUP RCL TRIP FlexLogic operand. For security, the overcurrent trip is supervised by

an undervoltage condition, which in turn is controlled by the VT FUSE FAIL OP operand with a 10 ms coordination timer. If a
trip from distance in not required, then it can be disabled with the LINE PICKUP DISTANCE TRIP setting. Configure the LINE
PICKUP RCL TRIP operand to perform a trip action if the intent is apply zone 1 extension.

The zone 1 extension philosophy used here normally operates from an under-reaching zone, and uses an overreaching
distance zone when reclosing the line with the other line end open. The AR ACCELERATE setting is provided to achieve
zone 1 extension functionality if external autoreclosure is employed. Another zone 1 extension approach is to permanently
apply an overreaching zone, and reduce the reach when reclosing. This philosophy can be programmed via the autore-
close scheme.

The DISTANCE SOURCE identifies the signal source for all distance functions. The mho distance functions use a dynamic
characteristic: the positive-sequence voltage – either memorized or actual – is used as a polarizing signal. The memory
voltage is also used by the built-in directional supervising functions applied for both the mho and quad characteristics.
The MEMORY DURATION setting specifies the length of time a memorized positive-sequence voltage should be used in the
distance calculations. After this interval expires, the relay checks the magnitude of the actual positive-sequence voltage. If
it is higher than 10% of the nominal, the actual voltage is used, if lower – the memory voltage continues to be used.
The memory is established when the positive-sequence voltage stays above 80% of its nominal value for five power system
cycles. For this reason it is important to ensure that the nominal secondary voltage of the VT is entered correctly under the
SETTINGS  SYSTEM SETUP  AC INPUTS  VOLTAGE BANK menu.

Set MEMORY DURATION long enough to ensure stability on close-in reverse three-phase faults. For this purpose, the maxi-
mum fault clearing time (breaker fail time) in the substation should be considered. On the other hand, the MEMORY DURA-
TION cannot be too long as the power system may experience power swing conditions rotating the voltage and current
phasors slowly while the memory voltage is static, as frozen at the beginning of the fault. Keeping the memory in effect for
too long may eventually lead to incorrect operation of the distance functions.

The distance zones can be forced to become self-polarized through the FORCE SELF-POLAR setting. Any user-selected con-
dition (FlexLogic operand) can be configured to force self-polarization. When the selected operand is asserted (logic 1), the
distance functions become self-polarized regardless of other memory voltage logic conditions. When the selected operand
is de-asserted (logic 0), the distance functions follow other conditions of the memory voltage logic as shown below.
The distance zones can be forced to become memory-polarized through the FORCE MEM-POLAR setting. Any user-selected
condition (any FlexLogic operand) can be configured to force memory polarization. When the selected operand is asserted
(logic 1), the distance functions become memory-polarized regardless of the positive-sequence voltage magnitude at this
time. When the selected operand is de-asserted (logic 0), the distance functions follow other conditions of the memory volt-
age logic.
The FORCE SELF-POLAR and FORCE MEM-POLAR settings should never be asserted simultaneously. If this happens, the logic
will give higher priority to forcing self-polarization as indicated in the logic below. This is consistent with the overall philoso-
phy of distance memory polarization.
The memory polarization cannot be applied permanently but for a limited time only; the self-polarization may be
applied permanently and therefore should take higher priority.

The phase mho distance function uses a dynamic 100% memory-polarized mho characteristic with additional reactance,
directional, and overcurrent supervising characteristics. When set to “Non-directional”, the mho function becomes an offset
mho with the reverse reach controlled independently from the forward reach, and all the directional characteristics
removed.
The phase quadrilateral distance function is comprised of a reactance characteristic, right and left blinders, and 100%
memory-polarized directional and current supervising characteristics. When set to “Non-directional”, the quadrilateral func-
tion applies a reactance line in the reverse direction instead of the directional comparators. Refer to Chapter 8 for additional
information.
Each phase distance zone is configured individually through its own setting menu. All of the settings can be independently
modified for each of the zones except:
1. The SIGNAL SOURCE setting (common for the distance elements of all zones as entered under SETTINGS  GROUPED
ELEMENTS  SETTING GROUP 1(6)  DISTANCE).

2. The MEMORY DURATION setting (common for the distance elements of all zones as entered under SETTINGS 
GROUPED ELEMENTS  SETTING GROUP 1(6)  DISTANCE).

The common distance settings described earlier must be properly chosen for correct operation of the phase distance ele-
ments. Additional details may be found in chapter 8: Theory of operation.

Although all zones can be used as either instantaneous elements (pickup [PKP] and dropout [DPO] FlexLogic operands) or
time-delayed elements (operate [OP] FlexLogic operands), only zone 1 is intended for the instantaneous under-reaching
tripping mode.
Ensure that the Phase VT Secondary Voltage setting (see the SETTINGS  SYSTEM SETUP  AC
NOTICE INPUTS  VOLTAGE BANK menu) is set correctly to prevent improper operation of associated mem-
ory action.

• PHS DIST Z1 DIR: All phase distance zones are reversible. The forward direction is defined by the PHS DIST Z1 RCA
setting, whereas the reverse direction is shifted 180° from that angle. The non-directional zone spans between the for-
ward reach impedance defined by the PHS DIST Z1 REACH and PHS DIST Z1 RCA settings, and the reverse reach imped-
ance defined by PHS DIST Z1 REV REACH and PHS DIST Z1 REV REACH RCA as illustrated below.
• PHS DIST Z1 SHAPE: This setting selects the shape of the phase distance function between the mho and quadrilat-
eral characteristics. The selection is available on a per-zone basis. The two characteristics and their possible varia-
tions are shown in the following figures.

• PHS DIST Z1 XFMR VOL CONNECTION: The phase distance elements can be applied to look through a three-phase
delta-wye or wye-delta power transformer. In addition, VTs and CTs could be located independently from one another
at different windings of the transformer. If the potential source is located at the correct side of the transformer, this set-
ting shall be set to “None”.
This setting specifies the location of the voltage source with respect to the involved power transformer in the direction
of the zone. The following figure illustrates the usage of this setting. In section (a), zone 1 is looking through a trans-
former from the delta into the wye winding. Therefore, the Z1 setting shall be set to “Dy11”. In section (b), Zone 3 is
looking through a transformer from the wye into the delta winding. Therefore, the Z3 setting shall be set to “Yd1”. The
zone is restricted by the potential point (location of the VTs) as illustrated in Figure (e).
• PHS DIST Z1 XFMR CUR CONNECTION: This setting specifies the location of the current source with respect to the
involved power transformer in the direction of the zone. In section (a) of the following figure, zone 1 is looking through
a transformer from the delta into the wye winding. Therefore, the Z1 setting shall be set to “Dy11”. In section (b), the
CTs are located at the same side as the read point. Therefore, the Z3 setting shall be set to “None”.
See the Theory of operation chapter for more details, and the Application of settings chapter for information on calcu-
lating distance reach settings in applications involving power transformers.

• PHS DIST Z1 REACH: This setting defines the zone reach for the forward and reverse applications. In the non-direc-
tional applications, this setting defines the forward reach of the zone. The reverse reach impedance in non-directional
applications is set independently. The reach impedance is entered in secondary ohms. The reach impedance angle is
entered as the PHS DIST Z1 RCA setting.
To achieve specified operating speed of distance elements, the relay internally calculates source to line impedance
ratio (SIR) from fault phasors. In these calculations, line impedance is estimated based on the zone 1 reach setting.
Therefore, in order to calculate the SIR value properly and to maintain the optimal operating speed of the distance ele-
ments, you need to set zone 1 reach with a regular 80 to 85% of the line impedance reach setting, even when zone 1
is disabled.

• PHS DIST Z1 RCA: This setting specifies the characteristic angle (similar to the ‘maximum torque angle’ in previous
technologies) of the phase distance characteristic for the forward and reverse applications. In the non-directional appli-
cations, this setting defines the angle of the forward reach impedance. The reverse reach impedance in the non-direc-
tional applications is set independently. The setting is an angle of reach impedance as shown in the distance
characteristic figures shown earlier. This setting is independent from PHS DIST Z1 DIR RCA, the characteristic angle of an
extra directional supervising function.
• PHS DIST Z1 REV REACH: This setting defines the reverse reach of the zone set to non-directional (PHS DIST Z1 DIR
setting). The value must be entered in secondary ohms. This setting does not apply when the zone direction is set to
“Forward” or “Reverse”.
• PHS DIST Z1 REV REACH RCA: This setting defines the angle of the reverse reach impedance if the zone is set to
non-directional (PHS DIST Z1 DIR setting). This setting does not apply when the zone direction is set to “Forward” or
“Reverse”.
• PHS DIST Z1 COMP LIMIT: This setting shapes the operating characteristic. In particular, it produces the lens-type
characteristic of the mho function and a tent-shaped characteristic of the reactance boundary of the quadrilateral func-
tion. If the mho shape is selected, the same limit angle applies to both the mho and supervising reactance compara-
tors. In conjunction with the mho shape selection, the setting improves loadability of the protected line. In conjunction
with the quadrilateral characteristic, this setting improves security for faults close to the reach point by adjusting the
reactance boundary into a tent-shape.
• PHS DIST Z1 DIR RCA: This setting selects the characteristic angle (or maximum torque angle) of the directional
supervising function. If the mho shape is applied, the directional function is an extra supervising function as the
dynamic mho characteristic is itself directional. In conjunction with the quadrilateral shape, this setting defines the only
directional function built into the phase distance element. The directional function uses the memory voltage for polar-
ization. This setting typically equals the distance characteristic angle PHS DIST Z1 RCA.
• PHS DIST Z1 DIR COMP LIMIT: Selects the comparator limit angle for the directional supervising function.
5
• PHS DIST Z1 QUAD RGT BLD: This setting defines the right blinder position of the quadrilateral characteristic along
the resistive axis of the impedance plane (see the Quadrilateral distance characteristic figures). The angular position of
the blinder is adjustable with the use of the PHS DIST Z1 QUAD RGT BLD RCA setting. This setting applies only to the
quadrilateral characteristic and should be set giving consideration to the maximum load current and required resistive
coverage.
• PHS DIST Z1 QUAD RGT BLD RCA: This setting defines the angular position of the right blinder of the quadrilateral
characteristic (see the Quadrilateral distance characteristic figures).
• PHS DIST Z1 QUAD LFT BLD: This setting defines the left blinder position of the quadrilateral characteristic along the
resistive axis of the impedance plane (see the Quadrilateral distance characteristic figures). The angular position of the
blinder is adjustable with the use of the PHS DIST Z1 QUAD LFT BLD RCA setting. This setting applies only to the quadri-
lateral characteristic and should be set with consideration to the maximum load current.
• PHS DIST Z1 QUAD LFT BLD RCA: This setting defines the angular position of the left blinder of the quadrilateral
characteristic (see the Quadrilateral distance characteristic figures).
• PHS DIST Z1 SUPV: The phase distance elements are supervised by the magnitude of the line-to-line current (fault
loop current used for the distance calculations). For convenience, 3 is accommodated by the pickup (that is, before
being used, the entered value of the threshold setting is multiplied by 3 ).
If the minimum fault current level is sufficient, the current supervision pickup should be set above maximum full load
current preventing maloperation under VT fuse fail conditions. This requirement may be difficult to meet for remote
faults at the end of zones 2 and above. If this is the case, the current supervision pickup would be set below the full
load current, but this may result in maloperation during fuse fail conditions.
• PHS DIST Z1 VOLT LEVEL: This setting is relevant for applications on series-compensated lines, or in general, if
series capacitors are located between the relaying point and a point where the zone shall not overreach. For plain
(non-compensated) lines, set to zero. Otherwise, the setting is entered in per unit of the phase VT bank configured
under the DISTANCE SOURCE. Effectively, this setting facilitates dynamic current-based reach reduction. In non-direc-
tional applications (PHS DIST Z1 DIR set to “Non-directional”), this setting applies only to the forward reach of the non-
directional zone. See chapters 8 and 9 for information on calculating this setting for series compensated lines.
• PHS DIST Z1 DELAY: This setting allows the user to delay operation of the distance elements and implement stepped
distance protection. The distance element timers for zones 2 and higher apply a short dropout delay to cope with faults

located close to the zone boundary when small oscillations in the voltages or currents could inadvertently reset the
timer. Zone 1 does not need any drop out delay since it is sealed-in by the presence of current.
If the phase distance incorrectly resets and picks up based on phase selector supervision during a delay of more than
three seconds, upgrade the device firmware to the latest version 7.2x release.
• PHS DIST Z1 BLK: This setting enables the user to select a FlexLogic operand to block a given distance element. VT
fuse fail detection is one of the applications for this setting.

The ground mho distance function uses a dynamic 100% memory-polarized mho characteristic with additional reactance,
directional, current, and phase selection supervising characteristics. The ground quadrilateral distance function is com-
posed of a reactance characteristic, right and left blinders, and 100% memory-polarized directional, overcurrent, and phase
selection supervising characteristics.
When set to non-directional, the mho function becomes an offset mho with the reverse reach controlled independently from
the forward reach, and all the directional characteristics removed. When set to non-directional, the quadrilateral function
applies a reactance line in the reverse direction instead of the directional comparators.

controlled by a user setting and depends on the degree of non-homogeneity of the zero-sequence and negative-sequence
equivalent networks.
The directional supervision uses memory voltage as polarizing quantity and both zero- and negative-sequence currents as
operating quantities.
The phase selection supervision restrains the ground elements during double-line-to-ground faults as they – by principles
of distance relaying – may be inaccurate in such conditions. Ground distance zones 1 and higher apply additional zero-
sequence directional supervision. See chapter 8 for additional details.
Each ground distance zone is configured individually through its own setting menu. All of the settings can be independently
modified for each of the zones except:
1. The SIGNAL SOURCE setting (common for both phase and ground elements for all zones as entered under the SETTINGS
 GROUPED ELEMENTS  SETTING GROUP 1(6)  DISTANCE menu).
2. The MEMORY DURATION setting (common for both phase and ground elements for all zones as entered under the SET-
TINGS  GROUPED ELEMENTS  SETTING GROUP 1(6)  DISTANCE menu).

The common distance settings noted at the start of this section must be properly chosen for correct operation of the ground
distance elements.
Although all ground distance zones can be used as either instantaneous elements (pickup [PKP] and dropout [DPO] Flex-
Logic signals) or time-delayed elements (operate [OP] FlexLogic signals), only zone 1 is intended for the instantaneous
under-reaching tripping mode.
Ensure that the PHASE VT SECONDARY VOLTAGE (see the SETTINGS  SYSTEM SETUP  AC INPUTS  VOLTAGE
BANK menu) is set correctly to prevent improper operation of associated memory action.
5 NOTE

• GND DIST Z1 DIR: All ground distance zones are reversible. The forward direction is defined by the GND DIST Z1 RCA
setting and the reverse direction is shifted by 180° from that angle. The non-directional zone spans between the for-
ward reach impedance defined by the GND DIST Z1 REACH and GND DIST Z1 RCA settings, and the reverse reach imped-
ance defined by the GND DIST Z1 REV REACH and GND DIST Z1 REV REACH RCA settings.
• GND DIST Z1 SHAPE: This setting selects the shape of the ground distance characteristic between the mho and
quadrilateral characteristics. The selection is available on a per-zone basis.
The directional and non-directional quadrilateral ground distance characteristics are shown below. The directional and
non-directional mho ground distance characteristics are the same as those shown for the phase distance element in
the previous sub-section.

• GND DIST Z1 Z0/Z1 MAG: This setting specifies the ratio between the zero-sequence and positive-sequence imped-
ance required for zero-sequence compensation of the ground distance elements. This setting is available on a per-
zone basis, enabling precise settings for tapped, non-homogeneous, and series compensated lines.

• GND DIST Z1 Z0/Z1 ANG: This setting specifies the angle difference between the zero-sequence and positive-
sequence impedance required for zero-sequence compensation of the ground distance elements. The entered value is
the zero-sequence impedance angle minus the positive-sequence impedance angle. This setting is available on a per-
zone basis, enabling precise values for tapped, non-homologous, and series-compensated lines.
• GND DIST Z1 ZOM/Z1 MAG: The ground distance elements can be programmed to apply compensation for the zero-
sequence mutual coupling between parallel lines. If this compensation is required, the ground current from the parallel
line (3I_0) measured in the direction of the zone being compensated must be connected to the ground input CT of the
CT bank configured under the DISTANCE SOURCE. This setting specifies the ratio between the magnitudes of the mutual
zero-sequence impedance between the lines and the positive-sequence impedance of the protected line. It is impera-
tive to set this setting to zero if the compensation is not to be performed. Note that internally the mutual coupling com-
pensation is applied only if 3I_0>1.22*IG to ensure that no mutual coupling compensation is applied when the fault is
on the parallel line. Mutual coupling compensation is applied when distance source is assigned with 8F or 8L type DSP
module only and when the ratio of the protected line ground current to parallel line ground current is greater than 1.22.
• GND DIST Z1 ZOM/Z1 ANG: This setting specifies the angle difference between the mutual zero-sequence imped-
ance between the lines and the positive-sequence impedance of the protected line.
• GND DIST Z1 REACH: This setting defines the reach of the zone for the forward and reverse applications. In non-
directional applications, this setting defines the forward reach of the zone. The reverse reach impedance in non-direc-
tional applications is set independently. The angle of the reach impedance is entered as the GND DIST Z1 RCA setting.
The reach impedance is entered in secondary ohms.
To achieve specified operating speed of distance elements, the relay internally calculates source to line impedance
ratio (SIR) from fault phasors. In these calculations, line impedance is estimated based on the zone 1 reach setting.
Therefore, in order to calculate the SIR value properly and to maintain the optimal operating speed of the distance ele-
ments, you need to set zone 1 reach with a regular 80 to 85% of the line impedance reach setting, even when zone 1
is disabled.
• GND DIST Z1 RCA: This setting specifies the characteristic angle (similar to the maximum torque angle in previous
technologies) of the ground distance characteristic for the forward and reverse applications. In the non-directional
applications this setting defines the forward reach of the zone. The reverse reach impedance in the non-directional

applications is set independently. This setting is independent from the GND DIST Z1 DIR RCA setting (the characteristic
angle of an extra directional supervising function).
The relay internally performs zero-sequence compensation for the protected circuit based on the values

ANG. The GND DIST Z1 REACH and GND DIST Z1 RCA should, therefore, be entered in terms of positive sequence
quantities. Refer to chapters 8 for additional information
• GND DIST Z1 REV REACH: This setting defines the reverse reach of the zone set to non-directional (GND DIST Z1 DIR
setting). The value must be entered in secondary ohms. This setting does not apply when the zone direction is set to
“Forward” or “Reverse”.
• GND DIST Z1 REV REACH RCA: This setting defines the angle of the reverse reach impedance if the zone is set to
non-directional (GND DIST Z1 DIR setting). This setting does not apply when the zone direction is set to “Forward” or
“Reverse”.
• GND DIST Z1 POL CURRENT: This setting applies only if the GND DIST Z1 SHAPE is set to “Quad” and controls the
polarizing current used by the reactance comparator of the quadrilateral characteristic. Either the zero-sequence or
negative-sequence current could be used. In general, a variety of system conditions must be examined to select an
optimum polarizing current. This setting becomes less relevant when the resistive coverage and zone reach are set
conservatively. Also, this setting is more relevant in lower voltage applications such as on distribution lines or cables,
as compared with high-voltage transmission lines. This setting applies to both the zone 1 and reverse reactance lines
if the zone is set to non-directional. Refer to chapters 8 and 9 for additional information.
• GND DIST Z1 NON-HOMOGEN ANG: This setting applies only if the GND DIST Z1 SHAPE is set to “Quad” and provides
a method to correct the angle of the polarizing current of the reactance comparator for non-homogeneity of the zero-
sequence or negative-sequence networks. In general, a variety of system conditions must be examined to select this

5 setting. In many applications this angle is used to reduce the reach at high resistances in order to avoid overreaching
under far-out reach settings and/or when the sequence networks are greatly non-homogeneous. This setting applies to
both the forward and reverse reactance lines if the zone is set to non-directional. Refer to chapters 8 and 9 for addi-
tional information.
• GND DIST Z1 COMP LIMIT: This setting shapes the operating characteristic. In particular, it enables a lens-shaped
characteristic of the mho function and a tent-shaped characteristic of the quadrilateral function reactance boundary. If
the mho shape is selected, the same limit angle applies to mho and supervising reactance comparators. In conjunction
with the mho shape selection, this setting improves loadability of the protected line. In conjunction with the quadrilat-
eral characteristic, this setting improves security for faults close to the reach point by adjusting the reactance boundary
into a tent-shape.
• GND DIST Z1 DIR RCA: Selects the characteristic angle (or ‘maximum torque angle’) of the directional supervising
function. If the mho shape is applied, the directional function is an extra supervising function, as the dynamic mho
characteristic itself is a directional one. In conjunction with the quadrilateral shape selection, this setting defines the
only directional function built into the ground distance element. The directional function uses memory voltage for polar-
ization.
• GND DIST Z1 DIR COMP LIMIT: This setting selects the comparator limit angle for the directional supervising function.
• GND DIST Z1 QUAD RGT BLD: This setting defines the right blinder position of the quadrilateral characteristic along
the resistive axis of the impedance plane (see the Quadrilateral distance characteristic figure). The angular position of
the blinder is adjustable with the use of the GND DIST Z1 QUAD RGT BLD RCA setting. This setting applies only to the
quadrilateral characteristic and should be set with consideration to the maximum load current and required resistive
coverage.
• GND DIST Z1 QUAD RGT BLD RCA: This setting defines the angular position of the right blinder of the quadrilateral
characteristic (see the Quadrilateral distance characteristic figure).
• GND DIST Z1 QUAD LFT BLD: This setting defines the left blinder position of the quadrilateral characteristic along the
resistive axis of the impedance plane (see the Quadrilateral distance characteristic figure). The angular position of the
blinder is adjustable with the use of the GND DIST Z1 QUAD LFT BLD RCA setting. This setting applies only to the quadri-
lateral characteristic and should be set with consideration to the maximum load current.
• GND DIST Z1 QUAD LFT BLD RCA: This setting defines the angular position of the left blinder of the quadrilateral
characteristic (see the Quadrilateral distance characteristic figure).

• GND DIST Z1 SUPV: The ground distance elements are supervised by the magnitude of the neutral (3I_0) current.
The current supervision pickup should be set less than the minimum 3I_0 current for the end of the zone fault, taking
into account the desired fault resistance coverage to prevent maloperation due to VT fuse failure. Settings less than
0.2 pu are not recommended and should be applied with caution. To enhance ground distance security against spuri-
ous neutral current during switch-off transients, three-phase faults, and phase-to-phase faults, a positive-sequence
current restraint of 5% is applied to the neutral current supervision magnitude. This setting should be at least three
times the CURRENT CUTOFF LEVEL setting specified in the PRODUCT SETUP  DISPLAY PROPERTIES menu
• GND DIST Z1 VOLT LEVEL: This setting is relevant for applications on series-compensated lines, or in general, if
series capacitors are located between the relaying point and a point for which the zone shall not overreach. For plain
(non-compensated) lines, this setting shall be set to zero. Otherwise, the setting is entered in per unit of the VT bank
configured under the DISTANCE SOURCE. Effectively, this setting facilitates dynamic current-based reach reduction. In
non-directional applications (GND DIST Z1 DIR set to “Non-directional”), this setting applies only to the forward reach of
the non-directional zone. See chapters 8 and 9 for additional details and information on calculating this setting value
for applications on series compensated lines.
• GND DIST Z1 DELAY: This setting enables the user to delay operation of the distance elements and implement a
stepped distance backup protection. The distance element timer applies a short drop out delay to cope with faults
located close to the boundary of the zone when small oscillations in the voltages or currents could inadvertently reset
the timer.
• GND DIST Z1 BLK: This setting enables the user to select a FlexLogic operand to block the given distance element.
VT fuse fail detection is one of the applications for this setting.

GROUND DIRECTIONAL SUPERVISION:
A dual (zero-sequence and negative-sequence) memory-polarized directional supervision applied to the ground distance
protection elements has been shown to give good directional integrity. However, a reverse double-line-to-ground fault can
lead to a maloperation of the ground element in a sound phase if the zone reach setting is increased to cover high resis-
tance faults.
Ground distance zones 2 and higher use an additional ground directional supervision to enhance directional integrity. The
element’s directional characteristic angle is used as a maximum torque angle together with a 90° limit angle.
The supervision is biased toward operation in order to avoid compromising the sensitivity of ground distance elements at
low signal levels. Otherwise, the reverse fault condition that generates concern will have high polarizing levels so that a cor-
rect reverse fault decision can be reliably made.

The power swing detect element provides both power swing blocking and out-of-step tripping functions. The element mea-
sures the positive-sequence apparent impedance and traces its locus with respect to either two or three user-selectable
operating characteristic boundaries. Upon detecting appropriate timing relations, the blocking and tripping indications are
given through FlexLogic operands. The element incorporates an adaptive disturbance detector. This function does not trig-
ger on power swings, but is capable of detecting faster disturbances – faults in particular – that may occur during power
swings. Operation of this dedicated disturbance detector is signaled via the POWER SWING 50DD operand.

5-160 D30 Line Distance Protection System GE Multilin


5 SETTINGS 5.6 GROUPED ELEMENTS

The power swing detect element asserts two outputs intended for blocking selected protection elements on power swings:
POWER SWING BLOCK is a traditional signal that is safely asserted for the entire duration of the power swing, and POWER
SWING UN/BLOCK is established in the same way, but resets when an extra disturbance is detected during the power swing.
The POWER SWING UN/BLOCK operand may be used for blocking selected protection elements if the intent is to respond to
faults during power swing conditions.
Different protection elements respond differently to power swings. If tripping is required for faults during power swing condi-
tions, some elements may be blocked permanently (using the POWER SWING BLOCK operand), and others may be blocked
and dynamically unblocked upon fault detection (using the POWER SWING UN/BLOCK operand).
View the operating characteristic and logic figures along with the following discussion to develop an understanding of the
operation of the element.
The power swing detect element operates in three-step or two-step mode:
• Three-step operation: The power swing blocking sequence essentially times the passage of the locus of the positive-
sequence impedance between the outer and the middle characteristic boundaries. If the locus enters the outer charac-
teristic (indicated by the POWER SWING OUTER FlexLogic operand) but stays outside the middle characteristic (indi-
cated by the POWER SWING MIDDLE FlexLogic operand) for an interval longer than POWER SWING PICKUP DELAY 1, the
power swing blocking signal (POWER SWING BLOCK FlexLogic operand) is established and sealed-in. The blocking sig-
nal resets when the locus leaves the outer characteristic, but not sooner than the POWER SWING RESET DELAY 1 time.
• Two-step operation: If the two-step mode is selected, the sequence is identical, but it is the outer and inner character-
istics that are used to time the power swing locus.
The out-of-step tripping feature operates as follows for three-step and two-step power swing detection modes:
• Three-step operation: The out-of-step trip sequence identifies unstable power swings by determining if the imped-
ance locus spends a finite time between the outer and middle characteristics and then a finite time between the middle
and inner characteristics. The first step is similar to the power swing blocking sequence. After timer POWER SWING
PICKUP DELAY 1 times out, latch 1 is set as long as the impedance stays within the outer characteristic. 5
If afterwards, at any time (given the impedance stays within the outer characteristic), the locus enters the middle char-
acteristic but stays outside the inner characteristic for a period of time defined as POWER SWING PICKUP DELAY 2, latch
2 is set as long as the impedance stays inside the outer characteristic. If afterwards, at any time (given the impedance
stays within the outer characteristic), the locus enters the inner characteristic and stays there for a period of time
defined as POWER SWING PICKUP DELAY 3, latch 2 is set as long as the impedance stays inside the outer characteristic;
the element is now ready to trip.
If the "Early" trip mode is selected, the POWER SWING TRIP operand is set immediately and sealed-in for the interval
set by the POWER SWING SEAL-IN DELAY. If the "Delayed" trip mode is selected, the element waits until the impedance
locus leaves the inner characteristic, then times out the POWER SWING PICKUP DELAY 2 and sets Latch 4; the element is
now ready to trip. The trip operand is set later, when the impedance locus leaves the outer characteristic.
• Two-step operation: The two-step mode of operation is similar to the three-step mode with two exceptions. First, the
initial stage monitors the time spent by the impedance locus between the outer and inner characteristics. Second, the
stage involving the POWER SWING PICKUP DELAY 2 timer is bypassed. It is up to the user to integrate the blocking
(POWER SWING BLOCK) and tripping (POWER SWING TRIP) FlexLogic operands with other protection functions and out-
put contacts in order to make this element fully operational.
The element can be set to use either lens (mho) or rectangular (quadrilateral) characteristics as illustrated below. When set
to “Mho”, the element applies the right and left blinders as well. If the blinders are not required, their settings should be set
high enough to effectively disable the blinders.

The FlexLogic output operands for the power swing detect element are described below:
• The POWER SWING OUTER, POWER SWING MIDDLE, POWER SWING INNER, POWER SWING TMR2 PKP, POWER SWING
TMR3 PKP, and POWER SWING TMR4 PKP FlexLogic operands are auxiliary operands that could be used to facilitate
testing and special applications.
• The POWER SWING BLOCK FlexLogic operand shall be used to block selected protection elements such as distance
functions.
• The POWER SWING UN/BLOCK FlexLogic operand shall be used to block those protection elements that are intended to
be blocked under power swings, but subsequently unblocked should a fault occur after the power swing blocking con-
dition has been established.
• The POWER SWING 50DD FlexLogic operand indicates that an adaptive disturbance detector integrated with the ele-
ment has picked up. This operand will trigger on faults occurring during power swing conditions. This includes both
three-phase and single-pole-open conditions.
• The POWER SWING INCOMING FlexLogic operand indicates an unstable power swing with an incoming locus (the locus
enters the inner characteristic).
• The POWER SWING OUTGOING FlexLogic operand indicates an unstable power swing with an outgoing locus (the locus
leaving the outer characteristic). This operand can be used to count unstable swings and take certain action only after
pre-defined number of unstable power swings.
• The POWER SWING TRIP FlexLogic operand is a trip command.
The settings for the power swing detect element are described below:
• POWER SWING FUNCTION: This setting enables and disables the entire power swing detection element. The setting
applies to both power swing blocking and out-of-step tripping functions.
• POWER SWING SOURCE: The source setting identifies the signal source for both blocking and tripping functions.
• POWER SWING SHAPE: This setting selects the shapes (either “Mho” or “Quad”) of the outer, middle and, inner char-
acteristics of the power swing detect element. The operating principle is not affected. The “Mho” characteristics use the
left and right blinders.

• POWER SWING MODE: This setting selects between the two-step and three-step operating modes and applies to
both power swing blocking and out-of-step tripping functions. The three-step mode applies if there is enough space
between the maximum load impedances and distance characteristics of the relay that all three (outer, middle, and
inner) characteristics can be placed between the load and the distance characteristics. Whether the spans between
the outer and middle as well as the middle and inner characteristics are sufficient should be determined by analysis of
the fastest power swings expected in correlation with settings of the power swing timers.
The two-step mode uses only the outer and inner characteristics for both blocking and tripping functions. This leaves
more space in heavily loaded systems to place two power swing characteristics between the distance characteristics
and the maximum load, but allows for only one determination of the impedance trajectory.
• POWER SWING SUPV: A common overcurrent pickup level supervises all three power swing characteristics. The
supervision responds to the positive sequence current.
• POWER SW I2 SUPV ENAB: This setting is to enable I2 supervision logic through a FlexLogic operand, which is used
to detect the presence of significant unbalance in current signals, such as during fault conditions. Under these condi-
tions, POWER SWING BLOCK operand is not asserted.
• POWER SWING I2 SUPV: This setting specifies the threshold of the I2 supervision logic.
• POWER SWING FWD REACH: This setting specifies the forward reach of all three mho characteristics and the inner
quadrilateral characteristic. For a simple system consisting of a line and two equivalent sources, this reach should be
higher than the sum of the line and remote source positive-sequence impedances. Detailed transient stability studies
may be needed for complex systems in order to determine this setting. The angle of this reach impedance is specified
by the POWER SWING FWD RCA setting.
• POWER SWING QUAD FWD REACH MID: This setting specifies the forward reach of the middle quadrilateral charac-
teristic. The angle of this reach impedance is specified by the POWER SWING FWD RCA setting. The setting is not used if
the shape setting is “Mho”.
5 • POWER SWING QUAD FWD REACH OUT: This setting specifies the forward reach of the outer quadrilateral charac-
teristic. The angle of this reach impedance is specified by the POWER SWING FWD RCA setting. The setting is not used if
the shape setting is “Mho”.
• POWER SWING FWD RCA: This setting specifies the angle of the forward reach impedance for the mho characteris-
tics, angles of all the blinders, and both forward and reverse reach impedances of the quadrilateral characteristics.
• POWER SWING REV REACH: This setting specifies the reverse reach of all three mho characteristics and the inner
quadrilateral characteristic. For a simple system of a line and two equivalent sources, this reach should be higher than
the positive-sequence impedance of the local source. Detailed transient stability studies may be needed for complex
systems to determine this setting. The angle of this reach impedance is specified by the POWER SWING REV RCA setting
for “Mho”, and the POWER SWING FWD RCA setting for “Quad”.
• POWER SWING QUAD REV REACH MID: This setting specifies the reverse reach of the middle quadrilateral charac-
teristic. The angle of this reach impedance is specified by the POWER SWING FWD RCA setting. The setting is not used if
the shape setting is “Mho”.
• POWER SWING QUAD REV REACH OUT: This setting specifies the reverse reach of the outer quadrilateral charac-
teristic. The angle of this reach impedance is specified by the POWER SWING FWD RCA setting. The setting is not used if
the shape setting is “Mho”.
• POWER SWING REV RCA: This setting specifies the angle of the reverse reach impedance for the mho characteris-
tics. This setting applies to mho shapes only.
• POWER SWING OUTER LIMIT ANGLE: This setting defines the outer power swing characteristic. The convention
depicted in the Power swing detect characteristic diagram should be observed: values greater than 90° result in an
apple-shaped characteristic; values less than 90° result in a lens shaped characteristic. This angle must be selected in
consideration of the maximum expected load. If the maximum load angle is known, the outer limit angle should be
coordinated with a 20° security margin. Detailed studies may be needed for complex systems to determine this setting.
This setting applies to mho shapes only.
• POWER SWING MIDDLE LIMIT ANGLE: This setting defines the middle power swing detect characteristic. It is rele-
vant only for the 3-step mode. A typical value would be close to the average of the outer and inner limit angles. This
setting applies to mho shapes only.
• POWER SWING INNER LIMIT ANGLE: This setting defines the inner power swing detect characteristic. The inner
characteristic is used by the out-of-step tripping function: beyond the inner characteristic out-of-step trip action is defi-

nite (the actual trip may be delayed as per the TRIP MODE setting). Therefore, this angle must be selected in consider-
ation to the power swing angle beyond which the system becomes unstable and cannot recover.
The inner characteristic is also used by the power swing blocking function in the two-step mode. In this case, set this
angle large enough so that the characteristics of the distance elements are safely enclosed by the inner characteristic.
This setting applies to mho shapes only.
• POWER SWING OUTER, MIDDLE, and INNER RGT BLD: These settings specify the resistive reach of the right
blinder. The blinder applies to both “Mho” and “Quad” characteristics. Set these value high if no blinder is required for
the “Mho” characteristic.
• POWER SWING OUTER, MIDDLE, and INNER LFT BLD: These settings specify the resistive reach of the left blinder.
Enter a positive value; the relay automatically uses a negative value. The blinder applies to both “Mho” and “Quad”
characteristics. Set this value high if no blinder is required for the “Mho” characteristic.
• POWER SWING PICKUP DELAY 1: All the coordinating timers are related to each other and should be set to detect
the fastest expected power swing and produce out-of-step tripping in a secure manner. The timers should be set in
consideration to the power swing detect characteristics, mode of power swing detect operation and mode of out-of-
step tripping. This timer defines the interval that the impedance locus must spend between the outer and inner charac-
teristics (two-step operating mode), or between the outer and middle characteristics (three-step operating mode)
before the power swing blocking signal is established. This time delay must be set shorter than the time required for
the impedance locus to travel between the two selected characteristics during the fastest expected power swing. This
setting is relevant for both power swing blocking and out-of-step tripping.
• POWER SWING RESET DELAY 1: This setting defines the dropout delay for the power swing blocking signal. Detec-
tion of a condition requiring a block output sets latch 1 after PICKUP DELAY 1 time. When the impedance locus leaves
the outer characteristic, timer POWER SWING RESET DELAY 1 is started. When the timer times-out the latch is reset. This
setting should be selected to give extra security for the power swing blocking action.
• POWER SWING PICKUP DELAY 2: Controls the out-of-step tripping function in the three-step mode only. This timer 5
defines the interval the impedance locus must spend between the middle and inner characteristics before the second
step of the out-of-step tripping sequence is completed. This time delay must be set shorter than the time required for
the impedance locus to travel between the two characteristics during the fastest expected power swing.
• POWER SWING PICKUP DELAY 3: Controls the out-of-step tripping function only. It defines the interval the imped-
ance locus must spend within the inner characteristic before the last step of the out-of-step tripping sequence is com-
pleted and the element is armed to trip. The actual moment of tripping is controlled by the TRIP MODE setting. This time
delay is provided for extra security before the out-of-step trip action is executed.
• POWER SWING PICKUP DELAY 4: Controls the out-of-step tripping function in “Delayed” trip mode only. This timer
defines the interval the impedance locus must spend outside the inner characteristic but within the outer characteristic
before the element is armed for the delayed trip. The delayed trip occurs when the impedance leaves the outer charac-
teristic. This time delay is provided for extra security and should be set considering the fastest expected power swing.
• POWER SWING SEAL-IN DELAY: The out-of-step trip FlexLogic operand (POWER SWING TRIP) is sealed-in for the
specified period of time. The sealing-in is crucial in the delayed trip mode, as the original trip signal is a very short
pulse occurring when the impedance locus leaves the outer characteristic after the out-of-step sequence is completed.
• POWER SWING TRIP MODE: Selection of the “Early” trip mode results in an instantaneous trip after the last step in
the out-of-step tripping sequence is completed. The early trip mode will stress the circuit breakers as the currents at
that moment are high (the electromotive forces of the two equivalent systems are approximately 180° apart). Selection
of the “Delayed” trip mode results in a trip at the moment when the impedance locus leaves the outer characteristic.
delayed trip mode will relax the operating conditions for the breakers as the currents at that moment are low. The
selection should be made considering the capability of the breakers in the system.
• POWER SWING BLK: This setting specifies the FlexLogic operand used for blocking the out-of-step function only. The
power swing blocking function is operational all the time as long as the element is enabled. The blocking signal resets
the output POWER SWING TRIP operand but does not stop the out-of-step tripping sequence.

The inverse time overcurrent curves used by the time overcurrent elements are the IEEE, IEC, GE Type IAC, and I2t stan-
dard curve shapes. This allows for simplified coordination with downstream devices.
If none of these curve shapes is adequate, FlexCurves may be used to customize the inverse time curve characteristics.
The definite time curve is also an option that may be appropriate if only simple protection is required.

IEC Short Inverse IAC Short Inverse Definite Time

A time dial multiplier setting allows selection of a multiple of the base curve shape (where the time dial multiplier = 1) with
the curve shape (CURVE) setting. Unlike the electromechanical time dial equivalent, operate times are directly proportional
to the time multiplier (TD MULTIPLIER) setting value. For example, all times for a multiplier of 10 are 10 times the multiplier 1
or base curve values. Setting the multiplier to zero results in an instantaneous response to all current levels above pickup.
Time overcurrent time calculations are made with an internal energy capacity memory variable. When this variable indi-
cates that the energy capacity has reached 100%, a time overcurrent element will operate. If less than 100% energy capac-
ity is accumulated in this variable and the current falls below the dropout threshold of 97 to 98% of the pickup value, the
variable must be reduced. Two methods of this resetting operation are available: “Instantaneous” and “Timed”. The “Instan-
taneous” selection is intended for applications with other relays, such as most static relays, which set the energy capacity
directly to zero when the current falls below the reset threshold. The “Timed” selection can be used where the relay must
coordinate with electromechanical relays.
IEEE CURVES:
The IEEE time overcurrent curve shapes conform to industry standards and the IEEE C37.112-1996 curve classifications
for extremely, very, and moderately inverse. The IEEE curves are derived from the formulae:

The phase time overcurrent element can provide a desired time-delay operating characteristic versus the applied current or
be used as a simple definite time element. The phase current input quantities may be programmed as fundamental phasor
magnitude or total waveform RMS magnitude as required by the application.
Two methods of resetting operation are available: “Timed” and “Instantaneous” (see the Inverse TOC Curve Characteristics
section earlier for details on curve setup, trip times, and reset operation). When the element is blocked, the time accumula-
tor will reset according to the reset characteristic. For example, if the element reset characteristic is set to “Instantaneous”
and the element is blocked, the time accumulator will be cleared immediately.
The PHASE TOC1 PICKUP setting can be dynamically reduced by a voltage restraint feature (when enabled). This is accom-
plished via the multipliers (Mvr) corresponding to the phase-phase voltages of the voltage restraint characteristic curve (see
the figure below); the pickup level is calculated as ‘Mvr’ times the PHASE TOC1 PICKUP setting. If the voltage restraint feature
is disabled, the pickup level always remains at the setting value.

5.6 GROUPED ELEMENTS 5 SETTINGS

This element is intended to apply a block signal to an overcurrent element to prevent an operation when current is flowing
in a particular direction. The direction of current flow is determined by measuring the phase angle between the current from
the phase CTs and the line-line voltage from the VTs, based on the 90° or quadrature connection. If there is a requirement
to supervise overcurrent elements for flows in opposite directions, such as can happen through a bus-tie breaker, two
phase directional elements should be programmed with opposite element characteristic angle (ECA) settings.
To increase security for three phase faults very close to the VTs used to measure the polarizing voltage, a voltage memory
feature is incorporated. This feature stores the polarizing voltage the moment before the voltage collapses, and uses it to
determine direction. The voltage memory remains valid for one second after the voltage has collapsed.
The main component of the phase directional element is the phase angle comparator with two inputs: the operating signal
(phase current) and the polarizing signal (the line voltage, shifted in the leading direction by the characteristic angle, ECA).
The following table shows the operating and polarizing signals used for phase directional control:
PHASE OPERATING POLARIZING SIGNAL Vpol
SIGNAL
ABC PHASE SEQUENCE ACB PHASE SEQUENCE
A angle of IA angle of VBC × (1∠ECA) angle of VCB × (1∠ECA)
B angle of IB angle of VCA × (1∠ECA) angle of VAC × 1∠ECA)
C angle of IC angle of VAB × (1∠ECA) angle of VBA × (1∠ECA)

MODE OF OPERATION:
• When the function is “Disabled”, or the operating current is below 5% × CT nominal, the element output is “0”.
• When the function is “Enabled”, the operating current is above 5% × CT nominal, and the polarizing voltage is above
the PRODUCT SETUP  DISPLAY PROPERTIES  VOLTAGE CUT-OFF LEVEL value, the element output is dependent on
the phase angle between the operating and polarizing signals:
5 – The element output is logic “0” when the operating current is within polarizing voltage ±90°.
– For all other angles, the element output is logic “1”.
• Once the voltage memory has expired, the phase overcurrent elements under directional control can be set to block or
trip on overcurrent as follows:
– When BLOCK WHEN V MEM EXP is set to “Yes”, the directional element will block the operation of any phase
overcurrent element under directional control when voltage memory expires.
– When BLOCK WHEN V MEM EXP is set to “No”, the directional element allows tripping of phase overcurrent elements
under directional control when voltage memory expires.
In all cases, directional blocking will be permitted to resume when the polarizing voltage becomes greater than the ‘polariz-
ing voltage threshold’.
SETTINGS:
• PHASE DIR 1 SIGNAL SOURCE: This setting is used to select the source for the operating and polarizing signals.
The operating current for the phase directional element is the phase current for the selected current source. The polar-
izing voltage is the line voltage from the phase VTs, based on the 90° or ‘quadrature’ connection and shifted in the
leading direction by the element characteristic angle (ECA).
• PHASE DIR 1 ECA: This setting is used to select the element characteristic angle, i.e. the angle by which the polariz-
ing voltage is shifted in the leading direction to achieve dependable operation. In the design of the UR-series elements,
a block is applied to an element by asserting logic 1 at the blocking input. This element should be programmed via the
ECA setting so that the output is logic 1 for current in the non-tripping direction.
• PHASE DIR 1 POL V THRESHOLD: This setting is used to establish the minimum level of voltage for which the phase
angle measurement is reliable. The setting is based on VT accuracy. The default value is “0.700 pu”.
• PHASE DIR 1 BLOCK WHEN V MEM EXP: This setting is used to select the required operation upon expiration of
voltage memory. When set to "Yes", the directional element blocks the operation of any phase overcurrent element
under directional control, when voltage memory expires; when set to "No", the directional element allows tripping of
phase overcurrent elements under directional control.

The phase directional element responds to the forward load current. In the case of a following reverse fault, the ele-
ment needs some time – in the order of 8 ms – to establish a blocking signal. Some protection elements such as

instantaneous overcurrent may respond to reverse faults before the blocking signal is established. Therefore, a
coordination time of at least 10 ms must be added to all the instantaneous protection elements under the supervi-
sion of the phase directional element. If current reversal is of a concern, a longer delay – in the order of 20 ms –
may be needed.

The neutral instantaneous overcurrent element may be used as an instantaneous function with no intentional delay or as a
definite time function. The element essentially responds to the magnitude of a neutral current fundamental frequency pha-
sor calculated from the phase currents. A positive-sequence restraint is applied for better performance. A small portion
(6.25%) of the positive-sequence current magnitude is subtracted from the zero-sequence current magnitude when forming
the operating quantity of the element as follows:
I op = 3 × ( I_0 – Kx I_1 ) where K = 1 ⁄ 16 (EQ 5.15)

The positive-sequence restraint allows for more sensitive settings by counterbalancing spurious zero-sequence currents
resulting from

The neutral directional overcurrent element provides both forward and reverse fault direction indications the NEUTRAL DIR
OC1 FWD and NEUTRAL DIR OC1 REV operands, respectively. The output operand is asserted if the magnitude of the oper-
ating current is above a pickup level (overcurrent unit) and the fault direction is seen as forward or reverse, respectively
(directional unit).
The overcurrent unit responds to the magnitude of a fundamental frequency phasor of the either the neutral current calcu-
lated from the phase currents or the ground current. There are separate pickup settings for the forward-looking and
reverse-looking functions. If set to use the calculated 3I_0, the element applies a positive-sequence restraint for better per-
formance: a small user-programmable portion of the positive-sequence current magnitude is subtracted from the zero-
sequence current magnitude when forming the operating quantity.
I op = 3 × ( I_0 – K × I_1 ) (EQ 5.17)

The positive-sequence restraint allows for more sensitive settings by counterbalancing spurious zero-sequence currents
resulting from:
• System unbalances under heavy load conditions.
5
• Transformation errors of current transformers (CTs) during double-line and three-phase faults.
• Switch-off transients during double-line and three-phase faults.
The positive-sequence restraint must be considered when testing for pickup accuracy and response time (multiple of
pickup). The operating quantity depends on the way the test currents are injected into the relay (single-phase injection:
Iop = (1 – K) × Iinjected ; three-phase pure zero-sequence injection: Iop = 3 × Iinjected).
The positive-sequence restraint is removed for low currents. If the positive-sequence current is below 0.8 pu, the restraint is
removed by changing the constant K to zero. This facilitates better response to high-resistance faults when the unbalance
is very small and there is no danger of excessive CT errors as the current is low.
The directional unit uses the zero-sequence current (I_0) or ground current (IG) for fault direction discrimination and may
be programmed to use either zero-sequence voltage (“Calculated V0” or “Measured VX”), ground current (IG), or both for
polarizing. The zero-sequence current (I_0) must be greater than the PRODUCT SETUP  DISPLAY PROPERTIES  CUR-
RENT CUT-OFF LEVEL setting value and IG must be greater than 0.05 pu to be validated as the operating quantity for direc-
tional current. The following tables define the neutral directional overcurrent element.

When NEUTRAL DIR OC1 POL VOLT is set to “Measured VX”, one-third of this voltage is used in place of V_0. The following
figure explains the usage of the voltage polarized directional unit of the element.
The figure below shows the voltage-polarized phase angle comparator characteristics for a phase A to ground fault, with:
• ECA = 90° (element characteristic angle = centerline of operating characteristic)
• FWD LA = 80° (forward limit angle = the ± angular limit with the ECA for operation)
• REV LA = 80° (reverse limit angle = the ± angular limit with the ECA for operation)
The element incorporates a current reversal logic: if the reverse direction is indicated for at least 1.25 of a power system
cycle, the prospective forward indication is delayed by 1.5 of a power system cycle. The element is designed to emulate an
5 electromechanical directional device. Larger operating and polarizing signals results in faster directional discrimination
bringing more security to the element operation.
The forward-looking function is designed to be more secure as compared to the reverse-looking function, and therefore,
should be used for the tripping direction. The reverse-looking function is designed to be faster as compared to the forward-
looking function and should be used for the blocking direction. This allows for better protection coordination.
The above bias should be taken into account when using the neutral directional overcurrent element to directionalize other
protection elements.

• NEUTRAL DIR OC1 POLARIZING: This setting selects the polarizing mode for the directional unit.
– If “Voltage” polarizing is selected, the element uses the zero-sequence voltage angle for polarization. The user
can use either the zero-sequence voltage V_0 calculated from the phase voltages, or the zero-sequence voltage
supplied externally as the auxiliary voltage V_X, both from the NEUTRAL DIR OC1 SOURCE.
The calculated V_0 can be used as polarizing voltage only if the voltage transformers are connected in Wye. The
auxiliary voltage can be used as the polarizing voltage provided SYSTEM SETUP  AC INPUTS  VOLTAGE BANK
 AUXILIARY VT CONNECTION is set to “Vn” and the auxiliary voltage is connected to a zero-sequence voltage
source (such as broken delta connected secondary of VTs).
The zero-sequence voltage must be greater than 0.02 pu to be validated for use as a polarizing signal. Addition-
ally, when offset impedance is applied and zero-sequence current is above 0.2 pu, compensated zero-sequence
voltage -V_0 + Z_offset x I_0 has to be above 0.02 pu in order to discriminate fault direction; otherwise when zero-
sequence current is less than 0.2 pu, -V_0 is then used as the polarizing signal. If the polarizing signal is invalid,
neither forward nor reverse indication is given.
– If “Current” polarizing is selected, the element uses the ground current angle connected externally and configured
under NEUTRAL OC1 SOURCE for polarization. The ground CT must be connected between the ground and neutral
point of an adequate local source of ground current. The ground current must be greater than 0.05 pu to be vali-
dated as a polarizing signal. If the polarizing signal is not valid, neither forward nor reverse indication is given. In
addition, the zero-sequence current (I_0) must be greater than the PRODUCT SETUP  DISPLAY PROPERTIES 
CURRENT CUT-OFF LEVEL setting value.

For a choice of current polarizing, it is recommended that the polarizing signal be analyzed to ensure that a known
direction is maintained irrespective of the fault location. For example, if using an autotransformer neutral current
as a polarizing source, it should be ensured that a reversal of the ground current does not occur for a high-side
fault. The low-side system impedance should be assumed minimal when checking for this condition. A similar sit-
uation arises for a wye/delta/wye transformer, where current in one transformer winding neutral may reverse when
faults on both sides of the transformer are considered.
– If “Dual” polarizing is selected, the element performs both directional comparisons as described. A given direction
is confirmed if either voltage or current comparators indicate so. If a conflicting (simultaneous forward and
reverse) indication occurs, the forward direction overrides the reverse direction.

5.6 GROUPED ELEMENTS 5 SETTINGS

– If "Dual-V" polarizing is selected, "Voltage" polarizing is performed and "Current" polarizing is ignored if the voltage
polarizing signal is valid; otherwise "Current" polarizing is performed if the current polarizing signal is valid. If nei-
ther of them is valid, neither forward nor reverse indication is given.
– If "Dual-I" polarizing is selected, "Current" polarizing is performed and "Voltage" polarizing is ignored if the current
polarizing signal is valid; otherwise "Voltage" polarizing is performed if the voltage polarizing signal is valid. If nei-
ther of them is valid, neither forward nor reverse indication is given.
• NEUTRAL DIR OC1 POL VOLT: Selects the polarizing voltage used by the directional unit when "Voltage," "Dual,"
"Dual-V," or "Dual-I" polarizing mode is set. The polarizing voltage can be programmed to be either the zero-sequence
voltage calculated from the phase voltages ("Calculated V0") or supplied externally as an auxiliary voltage ("Measured
VX").
• NEUTRAL DIR OC1 OP CURR: This setting indicates whether the 3I_0 current calculated from the phase currents, or
the ground current shall be used by this protection. This setting acts as a switch between the neutral and ground
modes of operation (67N and 67G). If set to “Calculated 3I0” the element uses the phase currents and applies the pos-
itive-sequence restraint; if set to “Measured IG” the element uses ground current supplied to the ground CT of the CT
bank configured as NEUTRAL DIR OC1 SOURCE. If this setting is “Measured IG”, then the NEUTRAL DIR OC1 POLARIZING
setting must be “Voltage”, as it is not possible to use the ground current as an operating and polarizing signal simulta-
neously. IG current has to be above 0.05 ps to be used as operate quantity.
• NEUTRAL DIR OC1 POS-SEQ RESTRAINT: This setting controls the amount of the positive-sequence restraint. Set
to 0.063 for backward compatibility with firmware revision 3.40 and older. Set to zero to remove the restraint. Set
higher if large system unbalances or poor CT performance are expected.
• NEUTRAL DIR OC1 OFFSET: This setting specifies the offset impedance used by this protection. The primary appli-
cation for the offset impedance is to guarantee correct identification of fault direction on series compensated lines. In
regular applications, the offset impedance ensures proper operation even if the zero-sequence voltage at the relaying

5 point is very small. If this is the intent, the offset impedance shall not be larger than the zero-sequence impedance of
the protected circuit. Practically, it shall be several times smaller. The offset impedance shall be entered in secondary
ohms.
See chapter 8 for additional details and chapter 9 for information on how to calculate this setting
• NEUTRAL DIR OC1 FWD ECA: This setting defines the characteristic angle (ECA) for the forward direction in the
"Voltage" polarizing mode. The "Current" polarizing mode uses a fixed ECA of 0°. The ECA in the reverse direction is
the angle set for the forward direction shifted by 180°.
• NEUTRAL DIR OC1 FWD LIMIT ANGLE: This setting defines a symmetrical (in both directions from the ECA) limit
angle for the forward direction.
• NEUTRAL DIR OC1 FWD PICKUP: This setting defines the pickup level for the overcurrent unit of the element in the
forward direction. When selecting this setting it must be kept in mind that the design uses a ‘positive-sequence
restraint’ technique for the “Calculated 3I0” mode of operation.
• NEUTRAL DIR OC1 REV LIMIT ANGLE: This setting defines a symmetrical (in both directions from the ECA) limit
angle for the reverse direction.
• NEUTRAL DIR OC1 REV PICKUP: This setting defines the pickup level for the overcurrent unit of the element in the
reverse direction. When selecting this setting it must be kept in mind that the design uses a positive-sequence restraint
technique for the “Calculated 3I0” mode of operation.

The negative-sequence time overcurrent element may be used to determine and clear unbalance in the system. The input
for calculating negative-sequence current is the fundamental phasor value.
Two methods of resetting operation are available; “Timed” and “Instantaneous” (refer to the Inverse Time Overcurrent Char-
acteristics sub-section for details on curve setup, trip times and reset operation). When the element is blocked, the time
accumulator resets according to the reset characteristic. For example, if the element reset characteristic is set to “Instanta-
neous” and the element is blocked, the time accumulator is cleared immediately.

The negative-sequence instantaneous overcurrent element may be used as an instantaneous function with no intentional

5 delay or as a definite time function. The element responds to the negative-sequence current fundamental frequency phasor
magnitude (calculated from the phase currents) and applies a positive-sequence restraint for better performance: a small
portion (12.5%) of the positive-sequence current magnitude is subtracted from the negative-sequence current magnitude
when forming the operating quantity:
I op = I_2 – K ⋅ I_1 where K = 1 ⁄ 8 (EQ 5.18)

The positive-sequence restraint allows for more sensitive settings by counterbalancing spurious negative-sequence cur-
rents resulting from:
• system unbalances under heavy load conditions
• transformation errors of current transformers (CTs) during three-phase faults
• fault inception and switch-off transients during three-phase faults
The positive-sequence restraint must be considered when testing for pickup accuracy and response time (multiple of
pickup). The operating quantity depends on the way the test currents are injected into the relay (single-phase injection:
I op = 0.2917 ⋅ I injected ; three-phase injection, opposite rotation: I op = I injected ).

There are two negative-sequence directional overcurrent protection elements available. The element provides both forward
and reverse fault direction indications through its output operands NEG SEQ DIR OC1 FWD and NEG SEQ DIR OC1 REV,
respectively. The output operand is asserted if the magnitude of the operating current is above a pickup level (overcurrent
unit) and the fault direction is seen as forward or reverse, respectively (directional unit).
The overcurrent unit of the element essentially responds to the magnitude of a fundamental frequency phasor of either the
negative-sequence or neutral current as per user selection.
A positive-sequence restraint is applied for better performance: a small user-programmable portion of the positive-
sequence current magnitude is subtracted from the negative or zero-sequence current magnitude, respectively, when form-
ing the element operating quantity.
I op = I_2 – K × I_1 or I op = 3 × ( I_0 – K × I_1 ) (EQ 5.19)

The positive-sequence restraint allows for more sensitive settings by counterbalancing spurious negative-sequence and
zero-sequence currents resulting from:
• System unbalances under heavy load conditions.
• Transformation errors of current transformers (CTs).
• Fault inception and switch-off transients.

5.6 GROUPED ELEMENTS 5 SETTINGS

The positive-sequence restraint must be considered when testing for pick-up accuracy and response time (multiple of
pickup). The positive-sequence restraint is removed for low currents. If the positive-sequence current is less than 0.8 pu,
then the restraint is removed by changing the constant K to zero. This results in better response to high-resistance faults
when the unbalance is very small and there is no danger of excessive CT errors, since the current is low.
The operating quantity depends on the way the test currents are injected into the D30. For single phase injection:
• Iop = ⅓ × (1 – K) × Iinjected for I_2 mode.
• Iop = (1 – K) × Iinjected for I_0 mode if I_1 > 0.8 pu.
The directional unit uses the negative-sequence current (I_2) and negative-sequence voltage (V_2).
The following tables define the negative-sequence directional overcurrent element.
Table 5–28: NEGATIVE-SEQUENCE DIRECTIONAL OVERCURRENT UNIT
MODE OPERATING CURRENT
Negative-sequence Iop = |I_2| – K × I_1|
Zero-sequence Iop = 3 × (|I_0| – K × |I_1|) if |I_1| > 0.8 pu
Iop = 3 × |I_0| if |I_1| ≤ 0.8 pu

Table 5–29: NEGATIVE-SEQUENCE DIRECTIONAL UNIT


DIRECTION COMPARED PHASORS
Forward –V_2 + Z_offset × I_2 I_2 × 1∠ECA
Reverse –V_2 + Z_offset × I_2 –(I_2 × 1∠ECA)

Z_offset is the offset impedance, for which magnitude is the OFFSET setting and angle is the FWD ECA.
5 The negative-sequence voltage must be greater than 0.02 pu to be validated for use as a polarizing signal. Additionally,
when offset impedance is applied and negative-sequence current is above 0.2 pu, compensated negative-sequence volt-
age -V_2 + Z_offset x I_2 has to be above 0.02 pu in order to discriminate fault direction; otherwise when negative-
sequence current is less than 0.2 pu, -V_2 is then used as the polarizing signal. If the polarizing signal is not validated nei-
ther forward nor reverse indication is given. The following figure explains the usage of the voltage polarized directional unit
of the element.
The following figure shows the phase angle comparator characteristics for a phase A to ground fault, with settings of:
ECA = 75° (element characteristic angle = centerline of operating characteristic)
FWD LA = 80° (forward limit angle = ± the angular limit with the ECA for operation)
REV LA = 80° (reverse limit angle = ± the angular limit with the ECA for operation)

The element incorporates a current reversal logic: if the reverse direction is indicated for at least 1.25 of a power system
cycle, the prospective forward indication will be delayed by 1.5 of a power system cycle. The element is designed to emu-
late an electromechanical directional device. Larger operating and polarizing signals will result in faster directional discrimi-
nation bringing more security to the element operation.

The forward-looking function is designed to be more secure as compared to the reverse-looking function, and therefore
should be used for the tripping direction. The reverse-looking function is designed to be faster as compared to the forward-
looking function and should be used for the blocking direction. This allows for better protection coordination. Take this bias
into account when using the negative-sequence directional overcurrent element to directionalize other protection elements.
The negative-sequence current must be greater than the PRODUCT SETUP  DISPLAY PROPERTIES  CURRENT CUT-OFF
LEVEL setting value.

• NEG SEQ DIR OC1 OFFSET: This setting specifies the offset impedance used by this protection. The primary applica-
tion for the offset impedance is to guarantee correct identification of fault direction on series compensated lines (see
the Application of settings chapter for information on how to calculate this setting). In regular applications, the offset
impedance ensures proper operation even if the negative-sequence voltage at the relaying point is very small. If this is
the intent, the offset impedance shall not be larger than the negative-sequence impedance of the protected circuit.
Practically, it is several times smaller. The offset impedance is entered in secondary ohms. See the Theory of opera-
tion chapter for additional details.
• NEG SEQ DIR OC1 TYPE: This setting selects the operating mode for the overcurrent unit of the element. The
choices are “Neg Sequence” and “Zero Sequence”. In some applications it is advantageous to use a directional nega-
tive-sequence overcurrent function instead of a directional zero-sequence overcurrent function as inter-circuit mutual
effects are minimized.
• NEG SEQ DIR OC1 POS-SEQ RESTRAINT: This setting controls the positive-sequence restraint. Set to 0.063 (in
“Zero Sequence” mode) or 0.125 (in “Neg Sequence” mode) for backward compatibility with revisions 3.40 and earlier.
Set to zero to remove the restraint. Set higher if large system unbalances or poor CT performance are expected.
• NEG SEQ DIR OC1 FWD ECA: This setting select the element characteristic angle (ECA) for the forward direction.
The element characteristic angle in the reverse direction is the angle set for the forward direction shifted by 180°.
• NEG SEQ DIR OC1 FWD LIMIT ANGLE: This setting defines a symmetrical (in both directions from the ECA) limit
angle for the forward direction.

• NEG SEQ DIR OC1 FWD PICKUP: This setting defines the pickup level for the overcurrent unit in the forward direc-
tion. Upon NEG SEQ DIR OC1 TYPE selection, this pickup threshold applies to zero- or negative-sequence current. When
selecting this setting it must be kept in mind that the design uses a positive-sequence restraint technique.
• NEG SEQ DIR OC1 REV LIMIT ANGLE: This setting defines a symmetrical (in both directions from the ECA) limit
angle for the reverse direction.
• NEG SEQ DIR OC1 REV PICKUP: This setting defines the pickup level for the overcurrent unit in the reverse direc-
tion. Upon NEG SEQ DIR OC1 TYPE selection, this pickup threshold applies to zero- or negative-sequence current. When

These protection elements can be used for a variety of applications such as:
• Undervoltage Protection: For voltage sensitive loads, such as induction motors, a drop in voltage increases the
drawn current which may cause dangerous overheating in the motor. The undervoltage protection feature can be used
to either cause a trip or generate an alarm when the voltage drops below a specified voltage setting for a specified time
delay.
• Permissive Functions: The undervoltage feature may be used to block the functioning of external devices by operat-
ing an output relay when the voltage falls below the specified voltage setting. The undervoltage feature may also be
used to block the functioning of other elements through the block feature of those elements.
• Source Transfer Schemes: In the event of an undervoltage, a transfer signal may be generated to transfer a load
from its normal source to a standby or emergency power source.
The undervoltage elements can be programmed to have a definite time delay characteristic. The definite time curve oper-
ates when the voltage drops below the pickup level for a specified period of time. The time delay is adjustable from 0 to
600.00 seconds in steps of 0.01. The undervoltage elements can also be programmed to have an inverse time delay char-
acteristic.

This element may be used to give a desired time-delay operating characteristic versus the applied fundamental voltage
(phase-to-ground or phase-to-phase for wye VT connection, or phase-to-phase for delta VT connection) or as a definite
time element. The element resets instantaneously if the applied voltage exceeds the dropout voltage. The delay setting
selects the minimum operating time of the phase undervoltage. The minimum voltage setting selects the operating voltage
below which the element is blocked (a setting of “0” will allow a dead source to be considered a fault condition).

There are three neutral overvoltage elements available. The neutral overvoltage element can be used to detect asymmetri-
cal system voltage condition due to a ground fault or to the loss of one or two phases of the source. The element responds
to the system neutral voltage (3V_0), calculated from the phase voltages. The nominal secondary voltage of the phase volt-
age channels entered under SETTINGS  SYSTEM SETUP  AC INPUTS  VOLTAGE BANK  PHASE VT SECONDARY is the
p.u. base used when setting the pickup level.
The neutral overvoltage element can provide a time-delayed operating characteristic versus the applied voltage (initialized
from FlexCurves A, B, or C) or be used as a definite time element. The NEUTRAL OV1 PICKUP DELAY setting applies only if
the NEUTRAL OV1 CURVE setting is “Definite time”. The source assigned to this element must be configured for a phase VT.
VT errors and normal voltage unbalance must be considered when setting this element. This function requires the VTs to

The trip bus element allows aggregating outputs of protection and control elements without using FlexLogic and assigning
them a simple and effective manner. Each trip bus can be assigned for either trip or alarm actions. Simple trip conditioning
such as latch, delay, and seal-in delay are available.
The easiest way to assign element outputs to a trip bus is through the EnerVista UR Setup software A protection summary
is displayed by navigating to a specific protection or control protection element and checking the desired bus box. Once the
desired element is selected for a specific bus, a list of element operate-type operands are displayed and can be assigned
to a trip bus. If more than one operate-type operand is required, it may be assigned directly from the trip bus menu.

The following settings are available.
• TRIP BUS 1 BLOCK: The trip bus output is blocked when the operand assigned to this setting is asserted.
• TRIP BUS 1 PICKUP DELAY: This setting specifies a time delay to produce an output depending on how output is
used.
5 • TRIP BUS 1 RESET DELAY: This setting specifies a time delay to reset an output command. The time delay should be
set long enough to allow the breaker or contactor to perform a required action.
• TRIP BUS 1 INPUT 1 to TRIP BUS 1 INPUT 16: These settings select a FlexLogic operand to be assigned as an input
to the trip bus.
• TRIP BUS 1 LATCHING: This setting enables or disables latching of the trip bus output. This is typically used when
lockout is required or user acknowledgement of the relay response is required.
• TRIP BUS 1 RESET: The trip bus output is reset when the operand assigned to this setting is asserted. Note that the
RESET OP operand is pre-wired to the reset gate of the latch, As such, a reset command the front panel interface or via
communications will reset the trip bus output.

The 61850 standard provides for the ability to monitor, edit, and change setting groups in a relay through a series of ser-
vices operating on Setting Group Control Block values. There is one SGCB in LLN0 in LD1 in the UR as, at present, the
other LDs do not support multiple setting groups The default value of SETTING GROUPS is Disabled. In order for 61850 and/
or UR setting group control to function, the SETTING GROUPS FUNCTION must be set to Enabled.
The active setting group in the UR is settable from either the value set via a FlexLogic operand in the UR (present practice)
or a SelectActiveSG command from a 61850 Client. For both the UR and IEC 61850, the default active setting group is "1".
A 61850 SelectActiveSG command sets one of the internal Non-Volatile flags (61850 SG Level x) that represents the
requested Active Setting Group shown as follows:
Table 5–30: ACTIVE SETTING GROUP
SELECTACTIVESG VALUE FLAG SET
1 (default) SG Level 1
2 SG Level 2
3 SG Level 3
4 SG Level 4
5 SG Level 4
6 SG Level 6

On power-up or restart, the previously selected 61850 SG Level x is re-instated. Similarly, the input to the setting group
control in the UR can be designed with Non-Volatile latches to achieve the same effect.
The setting groups menu controls the activation and deactivation of up to six possible groups of settings in the GROUPED
ELEMENTS settings menu. The faceplate Settings In Use LEDs indicate which active group (with a non-flashing energized
LED) is in service.

5 The SETTING GROUPS BLK setting prevents the active setting group from changing when the FlexLogic parameter is set to
"On". This can be useful in applications where it is undesirable to change the settings under certain conditions, such as the
breaker being open.
The GROUP 2 ACTIVATE ON to GROUP 6 ACTIVATE ON settings select a FlexLogic operand which, when set, makes the partic-
ular setting group active for use by any grouped element. A priority scheme ensures that only one group is active at a given
time – the highest-numbered group that is activated by its ACTIVATE ON parameter takes priority over the lower-numbered
groups. There is no activate on setting for group 1 (the default active group), because group 1 automatically becomes
active if no other group is active.
The SETTING GROUP 1 NAME to SETTING GROUP 6 NAME settings allows the user to assign a name to each of the six settings
groups. Once programmed, this name appears on the second line of the GROUPED ELEMENTS  SETTING GROUP 1(6) menu
display.
The relay can be set up via a FlexLogic equation to receive requests to activate or de-activate a particular non-default set-
tings group. The following FlexLogic equation (see the following figure) illustrates requests via remote communications (for
example, VIRTUAL INPUT 1 ON) or from a local contact input (for example, CONTACT IP 1 ON) to initiate the use of a particu-
lar settings group, and requests from several overcurrent pickup measuring elements to inhibit the use of the particular set-
tings group. The assigned VIRTUAL OUTPUT 1 operand is used to control the “On” state of a particular settings group.

5.7 CONTROL ELEMENTS 5 SETTINGS

The selector switch element is intended to replace a mechanical selector switch. Typical applications include setting group
control or control of multiple logic sub-circuits in user-programmable logic.
The element provides for two control inputs. The step-up control allows stepping through selector position one step at a
time with each pulse of the control input, such as a user-programmable pushbutton. The three-bit control input allows set-
ting the selector to the position defined by a three-bit word.
The element allows pre-selecting a new position without applying it. The pre-selected position gets applied either after time-
out or upon acknowledgement via separate inputs (user setting). The selector position is stored in non-volatile memory.
Upon power-up, either the previous position is restored or the relay synchronizes to the current three-bit word (user set-
ting). Basic alarm functionality alerts the user under abnormal conditions; for example, the three-bit control input being out
of range.
A selector switch runs every two power cycles.
• SELECTOR 1 FULL RANGE: This setting defines the upper position of the selector. When stepping up through avail-
able positions of the selector, the upper position wraps up to the lower position (position 1). When using a direct three-
bit control word for programming the selector to a desired position, the change would take place only if the control word
is within the range of 1 to the SELECTOR FULL RANGE. If the control word is outside the range, an alarm is established
by setting the SELECTOR ALARM FlexLogic operand for 3 seconds.
• SELECTOR 1 TIME-OUT: This setting defines the time-out period for the selector. This value is used by the relay in
the following two ways. When the SELECTOR STEP-UP MODE is “Time-out”, the setting specifies the required period of
inactivity of the control input after which the pre-selected position is automatically applied. When the SELECTOR STEP-
UP MODE is “Acknowledge”, the setting specifies the period of time for the acknowledging input to appear. The timer is
re-started by any activity of the control input. The acknowledging input must come before the SELECTOR 1 TIME-OUT
timer expires; otherwise, the change will not take place and an alarm will be set.
• SELECTOR 1 STEP-UP: This setting specifies a control input for the selector switch. The switch is shifted to a new
5 position at each rising edge of this signal. The position changes incrementally, wrapping up from the last (SELECTOR 1
FULL RANGE) to the first (position 1). Consecutive pulses of this control operand must not occur faster than every
50 ms. After each rising edge of the assigned operand, the time-out timer is restarted and the SELECTOR SWITCH 1:
POS Z CHNG INITIATED target message is displayed, where Z the pre-selected position. The message is displayed for
the time specified by the FLASH MESSAGE TIME setting. The pre-selected position is applied after the selector times out
(“Time-out” mode), or when the acknowledging signal appears before the element times out (“Acknowledge” mode).
When the new position is applied, the relay displays the SELECTOR SWITCH 1: POSITION Z IN USE message. Typically,
a user-programmable pushbutton is configured as the stepping up control input.
• SELECTOR 1 STEP-UP MODE: This setting defines the selector mode of operation. When set to “Time-out”, the
selector will change its position after a pre-defined period of inactivity at the control input. The change is automatic and
does not require any explicit confirmation of the intent to change the selector's position. When set to “Acknowledge”,
the selector will change its position only after the intent is confirmed through a separate acknowledging signal. If the
acknowledging signal does not appear within a pre-defined period of time, the selector does not accept the change
and an alarm is established by setting the SELECTOR STP ALARM output FlexLogic operand for 3 seconds.
• SELECTOR 1 ACK: This setting specifies an acknowledging input for the stepping up control input. The pre-selected
position is applied on the rising edge of the assigned operand. This setting is active only under “Acknowledge” mode of
operation. The acknowledging signal must appear within the time defined by the SELECTOR 1 TIME-OUT setting after the
last activity of the control input. A user-programmable pushbutton is typically configured as the acknowledging input.
• SELECTOR 1 3BIT A0, A1, and A2: These settings specify a three-bit control input of the selector. The three-bit con-
trol word pre-selects the position using the following encoding convention:

A2 A1 A0 POSITION
0 0 0 rest
0 0 1 1
0 1 0 2
0 1 1 3
1 0 0 4
1 0 1 5
1 1 0 6
1 1 1 7

5-212 D30 Line Distance Protection System GE Multilin


5 SETTINGS 5.7 CONTROL ELEMENTS

The “rest” position (0, 0, 0) does not generate an action and is intended for situations when the device generating the
three-bit control word is having a problem. When SELECTOR 1 3BIT MODE is “Time-out”, the pre-selected position is
applied in SELECTOR 1 TIME-OUT seconds after the last activity of the three-bit input. When SELECTOR 1 3BIT MODE is
“Acknowledge”, the pre-selected position is applied on the rising edge of the SELECTOR 1 3BIT ACK acknowledging
input.
The stepping up control input (SELECTOR 1 STEP-UP) and the three-bit control inputs (SELECTOR 1 3BIT A0 through A2)
lock-out mutually: once the stepping up sequence is initiated, the three-bit control input is inactive; once the three-bit
control sequence is initiated, the stepping up input is inactive.
• SELECTOR 1 3BIT MODE: This setting defines the selector mode of operation. When set to “Time-out”, the selector
changes its position after a pre-defined period of inactivity at the control input. The change is automatic and does not
require explicit confirmation to change the selector position. When set to “Acknowledge”, the selector changes its posi-
tion only after confirmation via a separate acknowledging signal. If the acknowledging signal does not appear within a
pre-defined period of time, the selector rejects the change and an alarm established by invoking the SELECTOR BIT
ALARM FlexLogic operand for 3 seconds.

• SELECTOR 1 3BIT ACK: This setting specifies an acknowledging input for the three-bit control input. The pre-
selected position is applied on the rising edge of the assigned FlexLogic operand. This setting is active only under the
“Acknowledge” mode of operation. The acknowledging signal must appear within the time defined by the SELECTOR
TIME-OUT setting after the last activity of the three-bit control inputs. Note that the stepping up control input and three-
bit control input have independent acknowledging signals (SELECTOR 1 ACK and SELECTOR 1 3BIT ACK, accordingly).
• SELECTOR 1 POWER-UP MODE: This setting specifies the element behavior on power up of the relay.
When set to “Restore”, the last position of the selector (stored in the non-volatile memory) is restored after powering up
the relay. If the position restored from memory is out of range, position 0 (no output operand selected) is applied and
an alarm is set (SELECTOR 1 PWR ALARM).
When set to “Synchronize” selector switch acts as follows. For two power cycles, the selector applies position 0 to the 5
switch and activates SELECTOR 1 PWR ALARM. After two power cycles expire, the selector synchronizes to the position
dictated by the three-bit control input. This operation does not wait for time-out or the acknowledging input. When the
synchronization attempt is unsuccessful (that is, the three-bit input is not available (0,0,0) or out of range) then the
selector switch output is set to position 0 (no output operand selected) and an alarm is established (SELECTOR 1 PWR
ALARM).

The operation of “Synch/Restore” mode is similar to the “Synchronize” mode. The only difference is that after an
unsuccessful synchronization attempt, the switch will attempt to restore the position stored in the relay memory. The
“Synch/Restore” mode is useful for applications where the selector switch is employed to change the setting group in
redundant (two relay) protection schemes.
• SELECTOR 1 EVENTS: If enabled, the following events are logged:

EVENT NAME DESCRIPTION


SELECTOR 1 POS Z Selector 1 changed its position to Z.
SELECTOR 1 STP ALARM The selector position pre-selected via the stepping up control input has not been

There are four identical synchrocheck elements available, numbered 1 to 4.


The synchronism check function is intended for supervising the paralleling of two parts of a system which are to be joined
by the closure of a circuit breaker. The synchrocheck elements are typically used at locations where the two parts of the
system are interconnected through at least one other point in the system.
Synchrocheck verifies that the voltages (V1 and V2) on the two sides of the supervised circuit breaker are within set limits
of magnitude, angle and frequency differences. The time that the two voltages remain within the admissible angle differ-
ence is determined by the setting of the phase angle difference ΔΦ and the frequency difference ΔF (slip frequency). It can
be defined as the time it would take the voltage phasor V1 or V2 to traverse an angle equal to 2 × ΔΦ at a frequency equal
to the frequency difference ΔF. This time can be calculated by:
1
T = -------------------------------- (EQ 5.21)
360°
------------------ × ΔF
2 × ΔΦ
where: ΔΦ = phase angle difference in degrees; ΔF = frequency difference in Hz.

If one or both sources are de-energized, the synchrocheck programming can allow for closing of the circuit breaker using
undervoltage control to by-pass the synchrocheck measurements (dead source function).
• SYNCHK1 V1 SOURCE: This setting selects the source for voltage V1 (see NOTES below).
• SYNCHK1 V2 SOURCE: This setting selects the source for voltage V2, which must not be the same as used for the
V1 (see NOTES below).
• SYNCHK1 MAX VOLT DIFF: This setting selects the maximum primary voltage difference in volts between the two
sources. A primary voltage magnitude difference between the two input voltages below this value is within the permis-
sible limit for synchronism.
• SYNCHK1 MAX ANGLE DIFF: This setting selects the maximum angular difference in degrees between the two
sources. An angular difference between the two input voltage phasors below this value is within the permissible limit
for synchronism.
• SYNCHK1 MAX FREQ DIFF: This setting selects the maximum frequency difference in ‘Hz’ between the two sources.
A frequency difference between the two input voltage systems below this value is within the permissible limit for syn-
chronism.
• SYNCHK1 MAX FREQ HYSTERESIS: This setting specifies the required hysteresis for the maximum frequency differ-
ence condition. The condition becomes satisfied when the frequency difference becomes lower than SYNCHK1 MAX
FREQ DIFF. Once the Synchrocheck element has operated, the frequency difference must increase above the SYNCHK1
MAX FREQ DIFF + SYNCHK1 MAX FREQ HYSTERESIS sum to drop out (assuming the other two conditions, voltage and
angle, remain satisfied).
• SYNCHK1 DEAD SOURCE SELECT: This setting selects the combination of dead and live sources that will by-pass
synchronism check function and permit the breaker to be closed when one or both of the two voltages (V1 or/and V2)
are below the maximum voltage threshold. A dead or live source is declared by monitoring the voltage level. Six

5 options are available:


None: Dead Source function is disabled
LV1 and DV2: Live V1 and Dead V2
DV1 and LV2: Dead V1 and Live V2
DV1 or DV2: Dead V1 or Dead V2
DV1 Xor DV2: Dead V1 exclusive-or Dead V2 (one source is Dead and the other is Live)
DV1 and DV2: Dead V1 and Dead V2
• SYNCHK1 DEAD V1 MAX VOLT: This setting establishes a maximum voltage magnitude for V1 in 1 ‘pu’. Below this
magnitude, the V1 voltage input used for synchrocheck will be considered “Dead” or de-energized.
• SYNCHK1 DEAD V2 MAX VOLT: This setting establishes a maximum voltage magnitude for V2 in ‘pu’. Below this
magnitude, the V2 voltage input used for synchrocheck will be considered “Dead” or de-energized.
• SYNCHK1 LIVE V1 MIN VOLT: This setting establishes a minimum voltage magnitude for V1 in ‘pu’. Above this mag-
nitude, the V1 voltage input used for synchrocheck will be considered “Live” or energized.
• SYNCHK1 LIVE V2 MIN VOLT: This setting establishes a minimum voltage magnitude for V2 in ‘pu’. Above this mag-
nitude, the V2 voltage input used for synchrocheck will be considered “Live” or energized.
NOTES ON THE SYNCHROCHECK FUNCTION:
1. The selected sources for synchrocheck inputs V1 and V2 (which must not be the same source) may include both a
three-phase and an auxiliary voltage. The relay will automatically select the specific voltages to be used by the syn-
chrocheck element in accordance with the following table.

The voltages V1 and V2 will be matched automatically so that the corresponding voltages from the two sources will be
used to measure conditions. A phase to phase voltage will be used if available in both sources; if one or both of the
Sources have only an auxiliary voltage, this voltage will be used. For example, if an auxiliary voltage is programmed to
VAG, the synchrocheck element will automatically select VAG from the other source. If the comparison is required on a
specific voltage, the user can externally connect that specific voltage to auxiliary voltage terminals and then use this
"Auxiliary Voltage" to check the synchronism conditions.
If using a single CT/VT module with both phase voltages and an auxiliary voltage, ensure that only the auxiliary voltage
is programmed in one of the sources to be used for synchrocheck.
Exception: Synchronism cannot be checked between Delta connected phase VTs and a Wye connected auxil-
iary voltage.
NOTE

2. The relay measures frequency and Volts/Hz from an input on a given source with priorities as established by the con-
figuration of input channels to the source. The relay will use the phase channel of a three-phase set of voltages if pro-
grammed as part of that source. The relay will use the auxiliary voltage channel only if that channel is programmed as
part of the Source and a three-phase set is not.

The maximum number of autoreclosure elements available is equal to the number of installed CT banks.
The autoreclosure feature is intended for use with transmission and distribution lines, in three-pole tripping schemes for sin-
gle breaker applications. Up to four selectable reclosures ‘shots’ are possible prior to locking out. Each shot has an inde-
pendently settable dead time. The protection settings can be changed between shots if so desired, using FlexLogic. Logic
inputs are available for disabling or blocking the scheme.
Faceplate panel LEDs indicate the state of the autoreclose scheme as follows:
• Reclose Enabled: The scheme is enabled and may reclose if initiated.
• Reclose Disabled: The scheme is disabled.
• Reclose In Progress: An autoreclosure has been initiated but the breaker has not yet been signaled to close.

5 • Reclose Locked Out: The scheme has generated the maximum number of breaker closures allowed and, as the fault
persists, will not close the breaker again; known as ‘Lockout’. The scheme may also be sent in ‘Lockout’ when the
incomplete sequence timer times out or when a block signal occurs while in ‘reclose in progress’. The scheme must be
reset from Lockout in order to perform reclose for further faults.
The reclosure scheme is considered enabled when all of the following conditions are true:
• The AR1 FUNCTION is set to “Enabled”.
• The scheme is not in the ‘Lockout’ state.
• The ‘Block’ input is not asserted.
• The AR1 BLK TIME UPON MNL CLS timer is not active.
The autoreclose scheme is initiated by a trip signal from any selected protection feature operand. The scheme is initiated
provided the circuit breaker is in the closed state before protection operation.
The reclose-in-progress (RIP) is set when a reclosing cycle begins following a reclose initiate signal. Once the cycle is suc-
cessfully initiated, the RIP signal will seal-in and the scheme will continue through its sequence until one of the following
conditions is satisfied:
• The close signal is issued when the dead timer times out, or
• The scheme goes to lockout.
While RIP is active, the scheme checks that the breaker is open and the shot number is below the limit, and then begins
measuring the dead time.
Each of the four possible shots has an independently settable dead time. Two additional timers can be used to increase the
initial set dead times 1 to 4 by a delay equal to AR1 DELAY 1 or AR1 DELAY 2 or the sum of these two delays depending on the
selected settings. This offers enhanced setting flexibility using FlexLogic operands to turn the two additional timers “on” and
“off”. These operands may possibly include AR1 SHOT CNT =n, SETTING GROUP ACT 1, etc. The autoreclose provides up to
maximum 4 selectable shots. Maximum number of shots can be dynamically modified through the settings AR1 REDUCE
MAX TO 1 (2, 3), using the appropriate FlexLogic operand.

Scheme lockout blocks all phases of the reclosing cycle, preventing automatic reclosure, if any of the following occurs:
• The maximum shot number was reached.
• A ‘Block’ input is in effect (for instance; Breaker Failure, bus differential protection operated, etc.).

• The ‘Incomplete Sequence’ timer times out.


The recloser will be latched in the Lockout state until a ‘reset from lockout’ signal is asserted, either from a manual close of
the breaker or from a manual reset command (local or remote). The reset from lockout can be accomplished by operator
command, by manually closing the breaker, or whenever the breaker has been closed and stays closed for a preset time.
After the dead time elapses, the scheme issues the close signal. The close signal is latched until the breaker closes or the
scheme goes to Lockout.
A reset timer output resets the recloser following a successful reclosure sequence. The reset time is based on the breaker
‘reclaim time’ which is the minimum time required between successive reclose sequences.
SETTINGS:
• AR1 INITIATE: Selects the FlexLogic operand that initiates the scheme, typically the trip signal from protection.
• AR1 BLOCK: Selects the FlexLogic operand that blocks the autoreclosure initiate (it could be from the breaker failure,
bus differential protection, etc.).
• AR1 MAX NUMBER OF SHOTS: Specifies the number of reclosures that can be attempted before reclosure goes to
“Lockout” because the fault is permanent.
• AR1 REDUCE MAX TO 1(3): Selects the FlexLogic operand that changes the maximum number of shots from the ini-
tial setting to 1, 2, or 3, respectively.
• AR1 MANUAL CLOSE: Selects the logic input set when the breaker is manually closed.
• AR1 MNL RST FRM LO: Selects the FlexLogic operand that resets the autoreclosure from Lockout condition. Typi-
cally this is a manual reset from lockout, local or remote.
• AR1 RESET LOCKOUT IF BREAKER CLOSED: This setting allows the autoreclose scheme to reset from Lockout if
the breaker has been manually closed and stays closed for a preset time. In order for this setting to be effective, the
next setting (AR1 RESET LOCKOUT ON MANUAL CLOSE) should be disabled. 5
• AR1 RESET LOCKOUT ON MANUAL CLOSE: This setting allows the autoreclose scheme to reset from Lockout
when the breaker is manually closed regardless if the breaker remains closed or not. This setting overrides the previ-
ous setting (AR1 RESET LOCKOUT IF BREAKER CLOSED).
• AR1 BLK TIME UPON MNL CLS: The autoreclose scheme can be disabled for a programmable time delay after the
associated circuit breaker is manually closed. This prevents reclosing onto a fault after a manual close. This delay
must be longer than the slowest expected trip from any protection not blocked after manual closing. If no overcurrent
trips occur after a manual close and this time expires, the autoreclose scheme is enabled.
• AR1 DEAD TIME 1 to AR1 DEAD TIME 4: These are the intentional delays before first, second, third, and fourth
breaker automatic reclosures (1st, 2nd, and 3rd shots), respectively, and should be set longer than the estimated
deionizing time following a three pole trip.
• AR1 ADD DELAY 1: This setting selects the FlexLogic operand that introduces an additional delay (Delay 1) to the ini-
tial set Dead Time (1 to 4). When this setting is “Off”, Delay 1 is by-passed.
• AR1 DELAY 1: This setting establishes the extent of the additional dead time Delay 1.
• AR1 ADD DELAY 2: This setting selects the FlexLogic operand that introduces an additional delay (Delay 2) to the ini-
tial set Dead Time (1 to 4). When this setting is “Off”, Delay 2 is by-passed.
• AR1 DELAY 2: This setting establishes the extent of the additional dead time Delay 2.
• AR1 RESET LOCKOUT DELAY: This setting establishes how long the breaker should stay closed after a manual
close command, in order for the autorecloser to reset from Lockout.
• AR1 RESET TIME: A reset timer output resets the recloser following a successful reclosure sequence. The setting is
based on the breaker ‘reclaim time’ which is the minimum time required between successive reclose sequences.
• AR1 INCOMPLETE SEQ TIME: This timer defines the maximum time interval allowed for a single reclose shot. It is
started whenever a reclosure is initiated and is active when the scheme is in the ‘reclose-in-progress’ state. If all condi-
tions allowing a breaker closure are not satisfied when this time expires, the scheme goes to “Lockout”.
This timer must be set to a delay less than the reset timer.

Digital elements run once per power system cycle.

NOTE As such they can easily fail to react to an input signal or a block signal with a duration less than one power system
cycle. This also means that digital element output can react up to one power system cycle later than the pickup and
reset delay settings indicate.
Do not use digital elements with transient signals, such as communications commands. Do not use digital elements
where random delays of up to one cycle cannot be tolerated, such as in high speed protection.
There are 48 identical digital elements available, numbered 1 to 48. A digital element can monitor any FlexLogic operand
and present a target message and/or enable events recording depending on the output operand state. The digital element
settings include a name which will be referenced in any target message, a blocking input from any selected FlexLogic oper-
and, and a timer for pickup and reset delays for the output operand.
• DIGITAL ELEMENT 1 INPUT: Selects a FlexLogic operand to be monitored by the digital element.
• DIGITAL ELEMENT 1 PICKUP DELAY: Sets the required time delay from element pickup to element operation. If a
pickup delay is not required, set to "0". To avoid nuisance alarms, set the delay greater than the operating time of the
breaker.
• DIGITAL ELEMENT 1 RESET DELAY: Sets the time delay to reset. If a reset delay is not required, set to “0”.
• DIGITAL ELEMENT 1 PICKUP LED: This setting enables or disabled the digital element pickup LED. When set to
“Disabled”, the operation of the pickup LED is blocked.

CIRCUIT MONITORING APPLICATIONS:
Some versions of the digital input modules include an active voltage monitor circuit connected across form-A contacts. The
voltage monitor circuit limits the trickle current through the output circuit (see technical specifications for form-A).
As long as the current through the voltage monitor is above a threshold (see technical specifications for form-A), the “Cont
Op 1 VOn” FlexLogic operand will be set (for contact input 1 – corresponding operands exist for each contact output). If the
output circuit has a high resistance or the DC current is interrupted, the trickle current will drop below the threshold and the
“Cont Op 1 VOff” FlexLogic operand will be set. Consequently, the state of these operands can be used as indicators of the
integrity of the circuits in which form-A contacts are inserted.
5 EXAMPLE 1: BREAKER TRIP CIRCUIT INTEGRITY MONITORING
In many applications it is desired to monitor the breaker trip circuit integrity so problems can be detected before a trip oper-
ation is required. The circuit is considered to be healthy when the voltage monitor connected across the trip output contact
detects a low level of current, well below the operating current of the breaker trip coil. If the circuit presents a high resis-
tance, the trickle current will fall below the monitor threshold and an alarm would be declared.
In most breaker control circuits, the trip coil is connected in series with a breaker auxiliary contact which is open when the
breaker is open (see diagram below). To prevent unwanted alarms in this situation, the trip circuit monitoring logic must
include the breaker position.

Using the contact input settings, this input will be given an ID name, for example, “Cont Ip 1", and will be set “On” when the
breaker is closed. The settings to use digital element 1 to monitor the breaker trip circuit are indicated below (EnerVista UR

EXAMPLE 2: BREAKER TRIP CIRCUIT INTEGRITY MONITORING


If it is required to monitor the trip circuit continuously, independent of the breaker position (open or closed), a method to
maintain the monitoring current flow through the trip circuit when the breaker is open must be provided (as shown in the fig-
ure below). This can be achieved by connecting a suitable resistor (see figure below) across the auxiliary contact in the trip
circuit. In this case, it is not required to supervise the monitoring circuit with the breaker position – the BLOCK setting is
selected to “Off”. In this case, the settings are as follows (EnerVista UR Setup example shown).

There are 8 identical digital counters, numbered from 1 to 8. A digital counter counts the number of state transitions from
Logic 0 to Logic 1. The counter is used to count operations such as the pickups of an element, the changes of state of an
external contact (e.g. breaker auxiliary switch), or pulses from a watt-hour meter.
• COUNTER 1 UNITS: Assigns a label to identify the unit of measure pertaining to the digital transitions to be counted.
The units label will appear in the corresponding actual values status.
• COUNTER 1 PRESET: Sets the count to a required preset value before counting operations begin, as in the case
where a substitute relay is to be installed in place of an in-service relay, or while the counter is running.
• COUNTER 1 COMPARE: Sets the value to which the accumulated count value is compared. Three FlexLogic output
operands are provided to indicate if the present value is ‘more than (HI)’, ‘equal to (EQL)’, or ‘less than (LO)’ the set
value.
• COUNTER 1 UP: Selects the FlexLogic operand for incrementing the counter. If an enabled UP input is received when
the accumulated value is at the limit of +2,147,483,647 counts, the counter will rollover to –2,147,483,648.
• COUNTER 1 DOWN: Selects the FlexLogic operand for decrementing the counter. If an enabled DOWN input is
received when the accumulated value is at the limit of –2,147,483,648 counts, the counter will rollover to
+2,147,483,647.
• COUNTER 1 BLOCK: Selects the FlexLogic operand for blocking the counting operation. All counter operands are
blocked.

• CNT1 SET TO PRESET: Selects the FlexLogic operand used to set the count to the preset value. The counter will be
set to the preset value in the following situations:
1. When the counter is enabled and the CNT1 SET TO PRESET operand has the value 1 (when the counter is enabled
and CNT1 SET TO PRESET operand is 0, the counter will be set to 0).
2. When the counter is running and the CNT1 SET TO PRESET operand changes the state from 0 to 1 (CNT1 SET TO
PRESET changing from 1 to 0 while the counter is running has no effect on the count).
3. When a reset or reset/freeze command is sent to the counter and the CNT1 SET TO PRESET operand has the value
1 (when a reset or reset/freeze command is sent to the counter and the CNT1 SET TO PRESET operand has the
value 0, the counter will be set to 0).
• COUNTER 1 RESET: Selects the FlexLogic operand for setting the count to either “0” or the preset value depending
on the state of the CNT1 SET TO PRESET operand.
• COUNTER 1 FREEZE/RESET: Selects the FlexLogic operand for capturing (freezing) the accumulated count value
into a separate register with the date and time of the operation, and resetting the count to “0”.
• COUNTER 1 FREEZE/COUNT: Selects the FlexLogic operand for capturing (freezing) the accumulated count value
into a separate register with the date and time of the operation, and continuing counting. The present accumulated
value and captured frozen value with the associated date/time stamp are available as actual values. If control power is
interrupted, the accumulated and frozen values are saved into non-volatile memory during the power down operation.

There is one breaker arcing current element available per CT bank, with a minimum of two elements. This element calcu-
lates an estimate of the per-phase wear on the breaker contacts by measuring and integrating the current squared passing
through the breaker contacts as an arc. These per-phase values are added to accumulated totals for each phase and com-
pared to a programmed threshold value. When the threshold is exceeded in any phase, the relay can set an output operand
to “1”. The accumulated value for each phase can be displayed as an actual value.

The operation of the scheme is shown in the following logic diagram. The same output operand that is selected to operate
the output relay used to trip the breaker, indicating a tripping sequence has begun, is used to initiate this feature. A time
delay is introduced between initiation and the starting of integration to prevent integration of current flow through the
breaker before the contacts have parted. This interval includes the operating time of the output relay, any other auxiliary
relays and the breaker mechanism. For maximum measurement accuracy, the interval between change-of-state of the
operand (from 0 to 1) and contact separation should be measured for the specific installation. Integration of the measured
current continues for 100 ms, which is expected to include the total arcing period.
The feature is programmed to perform fault duration calculations. Fault duration is defined as a time between operation of
the disturbance detector occurring before initiation of this feature, and reset of an internal low-set overcurrent function. Cor-
rection is implemented to account for a non-zero reset time of the overcurrent function.

Every signal source includes a fuse failure scheme.


The VT fuse failure detector can be used to raise an alarm and/or block elements that may operate incorrectly for a full or
partial loss of AC potential caused by one or more blown fuses. Some elements that might be blocked (via the BLOCK input)
are distance, voltage restrained overcurrent, and directional current.
There are two classes of fuse failure that occur:
• Class A: loss of one or two phases.
• Class B: loss of all three phases.
Different means of detection are required for each class. An indication of class A failures is a significant level of negative-
sequence voltage, whereas an indication of class B failures is when positive sequence current is present and there is an
insignificant amount of positive sequence voltage. Also rapid decrease in the phase voltages magnitude from a healthy
voltage level without disturbance in current can indicate a VT fuse fail conditions. These noted indications of fuse failure
can also be present when faults are present on the system, so a means of detecting faults and inhibiting fuse failure decla-
rations during these events is provided. 5
Once the fuse failure condition is declared, it is sealed-in until the cause that generated it disappears.
An additional condition is introduced to inhibit a fuse failure declaration when the monitored circuit is de-energized; positive-
sequence voltage and current are both below threshold levels.
The VT FUSE FAILURE 1 FUNCTION setting enables and disables the fuse failure feature for Source 1 VT Fuse Fail.
The VT NEU WIRE OPEN 1 FUNCTION setting enables and disables the VT neutral wire open detection function. When the
VT is connected in Delta, do not enabled this function because there is no neutral wire for Delta connected VT.
The VT NEU WIRE OPEN 1 3 HRAM PKP setting specifies the pickup level of 3rd harmonic of 3V0 signal for the VT NEU
WIRE OPEN detection logic to pick up.

The broken conductor function will detect a transmission line broken conductor condition or a single-pole breaker malfunc-
tion condition through checking the phase current input signals and the I_2 / I_1 ratio. The intention of this function is to
detect a single-phase broken conductor only. As such two-phase or three-phase broken conductors cannot be detected.
To distinguish between single-phase disappearance and system disturbance in all three phases (such as load change,
switching, etc.), the broken conductor element monitors the change in all three phase currents at the present instance and
at four cycles previous. It also monitors changes in the I_2 / I_1 ratio, I_1 minimum, and I_1 maximum.
The broken conductor function should not be used to respond to fault transients and single-pole tripping/reclosing condi-
tions. Therefore, the time delay should be programmed to a sufficient length to ensure coordination with the breaker dead
time of the recloser function.
• BROKEN CONDUCTOR 1 FUNCTION: This setting enables and disables the broken conductor function.
• BROKEN CONDUCTOR 1 SOURCE: This setting selects a signal source used to provide three-phase current inputs
to this function.
• BROKEN CONDUCTOR 1 I2/I1 RATIO: This setting specifies the ratio of negative-sequence current to positive-
sequence current. When one phase conductor is broken, the I_2 / I_1 ratio with a balanced remaining two phases is
50%. So normally this setting should be set below 50% (for example, to 30%).
• BROKEN CONDUCTOR 1 I1 MIN: This setting specifies the minimum positive-sequence current supervision level.
Ensure this setting is programmed to a sufficient level to prevent I_2 / I_1 from erratic pickup due to a low I_1 signal.
However, this setting should not be set too high, since the broken conductor condition cannot be detected under light
load conditions when I_1 is less than the value specified by this setting.
• BROKEN CONDUCTOR 1 I1 MAX: This setting specifies the maximum I_1 level allowed for the broken conductor
function to operate. When I_1 exceeds this setting, this it is considered a fault. This broken conductor function should
not respond to any fault conditions, so normally this setting is programmed to less than the maximum load current.
• BROKEN CONDUCTOR 1 PKP DELAY: This setting specifies the pickup time delay for this function to operate after
assertion of the broken conductor pickup FlexLogic operand.

The thermal overload protection element corresponds to the IEC 255-8 standard and is used to detect thermal overload
conditions in protected power system elements. Choosing an appropriate time constant element can be used to protect dif-
ferent elements of the power system. The cold curve characteristic is applied when the estimated Ip current is less than
10% of the base current. If Ip current is greater or equal than 10% than the base current, then the hot curve characteristic is
applied. Ip current is estimated with a fixed time constant for both cooling and heating that reaches to the final value in two
seconds on a step change (either step up or step down) signal.
The IEC255-8 cold curve is defined as follows:

In the above equations,


• top = time to operate
• τop = thermal protection trip time constant
• I = measured overload RMS current
• Ip = measured load RMS current before overload occurs
• k= IEC 255-8 k-factor applied to IB, defining maximum permissible current above nominal current

• IB = protected element base (nominal) current


To ensure element accuracy for high overcurrent conditions, the maximum value of I/(k x IB) is limited to 8, even when real-
istically it is exceeding this value.

The thermal overload protection element estimates accumulated thermal energy E using the following equations calculated
each power cycle. When current is greater than the pickup level, In > k × IB, element starts increasing the thermal energy:

When current is less than the dropout level, In > 0.97 × k × IB, the element starts decreasing the thermal energy:
Δt
E n = E n – 1 – --------------- (EQ 5.26)
t rst ( In )

In the above equations,


• ∆t is the power cycle duration
• n is the power cycle index
• top(In) is the trip time calculated at index n as per the IEC255-8 cold curve or hot curve equations
• trst(In) is the reset time calculated at index n as per the reset time equation
• In is the measured overload RMS current at index n
• En is the accumulated energy at index n
• En – 1 is the accumulated energy at index n – 1
The thermal overload protection element removes the THERMAL PROT 1 OP output operand when E < 0.05. In case of
emergency, the thermal memory and THERMAL PROT 1 OP output operand can be reset using THERM PROT 1 RESET setting.
All calculations are performed per phase. If the accumulated energy reaches value 1 in any phase, the thermal overload
protection element operates and only resets when energy is less than 0.05 in all three phases.

The contact inputs menu contains configuration settings for each contact input as well as voltage thresholds for each group
of four contact inputs. Upon startup, the relay processor determines (from an assessment of the installed modules) which
contact inputs are available and then display settings for only those inputs.
An alphanumeric ID may be assigned to a contact input for diagnostic, setting, and event recording purposes. The CON-
TACT IP X On” (Logic 1) FlexLogic operand corresponds to contact input “X” being closed, while CONTACT IP X Off corre-
sponds to contact input “X” being open. The CONTACT INPUT DEBNCE TIME defines the time required for the contact to
overcome ‘contact bouncing’ conditions. As this time differs for different contact types and manufacturers, set it as a maxi-
mum contact debounce time (per manufacturer specifications) plus some margin to ensure proper operation. If CONTACT
INPUT EVENTS is set to “Enabled”, every change in the contact input state will trigger an event.

A raw status is scanned for all Contact Inputs synchronously at the constant rate of 0.5 ms as shown in the figure below.
The DC input voltage is compared to a user-settable threshold. A new contact input state must be maintained for a user-
settable debounce time in order for the D30 to validate the new contact state. In the figure below, the debounce time is set
at 2.5 ms; thus the 6th sample in a row validates the change of state (mark no. 1 in the diagram). Once validated (de-
bounced), the contact input asserts a corresponding FlexLogic operand and logs an event as per user setting.
A time stamp of the first sample in the sequence that validates the new state is used when logging the change of the con-
tact input into the Event Recorder (mark no. 2 in the diagram).
Protection and control elements, as well as FlexLogic equations and timers, are executed eight times in a power system
cycle. The protection pass duration is controlled by the frequency tracking mechanism. The FlexLogic operand reflecting
the debounced state of the contact is updated at the protection pass following the validation (marks no. 3 and 4 on the fig-
ure below). The update is performed at the beginning of the protection pass so all protection and control functions, as well
as FlexLogic equations, are fed with the updated states of the contact inputs.

The FlexLogic operand response time to the contact input change is equal to the debounce time setting plus up to one pro-
tection pass (variable and depending on system frequency if frequency tracking enabled). If the change of state occurs just
after a protection pass, the recognition is delayed until the subsequent protection pass; that is, by the entire duration of the
protection pass. If the change occurs just prior to a protection pass, the state is recognized immediately. Statistically a delay
of half the protection pass is expected. Owing to the 0.5 ms scan rate, the time resolution for the input contact is below
1msec.
For example, 8 protection passes per cycle on a 60 Hz system correspond to a protection pass every 2.1 ms. With a con-
tact debounce time setting of 3.0 ms, the FlexLogic operand-assert time limits are: 3.0 + 0.0 = 3.0 ms and 3.0 + 2.1 = 5.1
ms. These time limits depend on how soon the protection pass runs after the debouncing time.
Regardless of the contact debounce time setting, the contact input event is time-stamped with a 1 μs accuracy using the
time of the first scan corresponding to the new state (mark no. 2 below). Therefore, the time stamp reflects a change in the
DC voltage across the contact input terminals that was not accidental as it was subsequently validated using the debounce
timer. Keep in mind that the associated FlexLogic operand is asserted/de-asserted later, after validating the change.
The debounce algorithm is symmetrical: the same procedure and debounce time are used to filter the LOW-HIGH (marks
no.1, 2, 3, and 4 in the figure below) and HIGH-LOW (marks no. 5, 6, 7, and 8 below) transitions.

Contact inputs are isolated in groups of four to allow connection of wet contacts from different voltage sources for each
group. The CONTACT INPUT THRESHOLDS determine the minimum voltage required to detect a closed contact input. This
value should be selected according to the following criteria: 17 for 24 V sources, 33 for 48 V sources, 84 for 110 to 125 V
sources and 166 for 250 V sources.
For example, to use contact input H5a as a status input from the breaker 52b contact to seal-in the trip relay and record it in
the Event Records menu, make the following settings changes:
CONTACT INPUT H5A ID: "Breaker Closed (52b)"
CONTACT INPUT H5A EVENTS: "Enabled"

Note that the 52b contact is closed when the breaker is open and open when the breaker is closed.

There are 64 virtual inputs that can be individually programmed to respond to input signals from the keypad (via the COM-
MANDS menu) and communications protocols. All virtual input operands are defaulted to “Off” (logic 0) unless the appropri-
ate input signal is received.
If the VIRTUAL INPUT x FUNCTION is to “Disabled”, the input will be forced to off (logic 0) regardless of any attempt to alter the
input. If set to “Enabled”, the input operates as shown on the logic diagram and generates output FlexLogic operands in
response to received input signals and the applied settings.
There are two types of operation: self-reset and latched. If VIRTUAL INPUT x TYPE is “Self-Reset”, when the input signal tran-
sits from off to on, the output operand will be set to on for only one evaluation of the FlexLogic equations and then return to
off. If set to “Latched”, the virtual input sets the state of the output operand to the same state as the most recent received
input.
5 The self-reset operating mode generates the output operand for a single evaluation of the FlexLogic equations. If
the operand is to be used anywhere other than internally in a FlexLogic equation, it will likely have to be lengthened

Upon startup of the relay, the main processor determines from an assessment of the modules installed in the chassis which
contact outputs are available and presents the settings for only these outputs. Where the contact input is non-latching, the
settings are as shown.
An ID may be assigned to each contact output. The signal that can OPERATE a contact output may be any FlexLogic oper-
and (virtual output, element state, contact input, or virtual input). An additional FlexLogic operand may be used to SEAL-IN
the relay. Any change of state of a contact output can be logged as an Event if programmed to do so.
For example, the trip circuit current is monitored by providing a current threshold detector in series with some Form-A con-
tacts (see the trip circuit example in the Digital Elements section). The monitor sets a flag (see the specifications for Form-
A). The name of the FlexLogic operand set by the monitor, consists of the output relay designation, followed by the name of
the flag; for example, CONT OP 1 ION. 5
In most breaker control circuits, the trip coil is connected in series with a breaker auxiliary contact used to interrupt current
flow after the breaker has tripped, to prevent damage to the less robust initiating contact. This can be done by monitoring
an auxiliary contact on the breaker which opens when the breaker has tripped, but this scheme is subject to incorrect oper-
ation caused by differences in timing between breaker auxiliary contact change-of-state and interruption of current in the
trip circuit. The most dependable protection of the initiating contact is provided by directly measuring current in the tripping
circuit, and using this parameter to control resetting of the initiating relay. This scheme is often called trip seal-in.
This can be realized using the CONT OP 1 ION FlexLogic operand to seal-in the contact output as follows:
CONTACT OUTPUT H1 ID: “Cont Op 1"
OUTPUT H1 OPERATE: any suitable FlexLogic operand

The latching output contacts are mechanically bi-stable and controlled by two separate (open and close) coils. As such they
retain their position even if the relay is not powered up. The relay recognizes all latching output contact cards and populates
the setting menu accordingly. On power up, the relay reads positions of the latching contacts from the hardware before exe-
cuting any other functions of the relay (such as protection and control features or FlexLogic).
The latching output modules, either as a part of the relay or as individual modules, are shipped from the factory with all
latching contacts opened. It is highly recommended to double-check the programming and positions of the latching con-
tacts when replacing a module.
Since the relay asserts the output contact and reads back its position, it is possible to incorporate self-monitoring capabili-
ties for the latching outputs. If any latching outputs exhibits a discrepancy, the LATCHING OUTPUT ERROR self-test error is
declared. The error is signaled by the LATCHING OUT ERROR FlexLogic operand, event, and target message.
• OUTPUT H1a OPERATE: This setting specifies a FlexLogic operand to operate the ‘close coil’ of the contact. The
relay will seal-in this input to safely close the contact. Once the contact is closed and the RESET input is logic 0 (off),
any activity of the OPERATE input, such as subsequent chattering, will not have any effect. With both the OPERATE and
RESET inputs active (logic 1), the response of the latching contact is specified by the OUTPUT H1A TYPE setting.

• OUTPUT H1a RESET: This setting specifies a FlexLogic operand to operate the ‘trip coil’ of the contact. The relay will
5 seal-in this input to safely open the contact. Once the contact is opened and the OPERATE input is logic 0 (off), any
activity of the RESET input, such as subsequent chattering, will not have any effect. With both the OPERATE and RESET
inputs active (logic 1), the response of the latching contact is specified by the OUTPUT H1A TYPE setting.
• OUTPUT H1a TYPE: This setting specifies the contact response under conflicting control inputs; that is, when both the
OPERATE and RESET signals are applied. With both control inputs applied simultaneously, the contact will close if set to
“Operate-dominant” and will open if set to “Reset-dominant”.

Application Example 2:
A relay, having two latching contacts H1a and H1c, is to be programmed. The H1a contact is to be a Type-a contact, while
the H1c contact is to be a Type-b contact (Type-a means closed after exercising the operate input; Type-b means closed
after exercising the reset input). The relay is to be controlled from virtual outputs: VO1 to operate and VO2 to reset.

Since the two physical contacts in this example are mechanically separated and have individual control inputs, they will not
operate at exactly the same time. A discrepancy in the range of a fraction of a maximum operating time may occur. There-
fore, a pair of contacts programmed to be a multi-contact relay will not guarantee any specific sequence of operation (such
as make before break). If required, the sequence of operation must be programmed explicitly by delaying some of the con-
trol inputs as shown in the next application example.

Application Example 3:
A make before break functionality must be added to the preceding example. An overlap of 20 ms is required to implement
this functionality as described below:
Write the following FlexLogic equation (EnerVista UR Setup example shown):

5.8.5 REMOTE DEVICES

a) REMOTE INPUTS/OUTPUTS OVERVIEW


Remote inputs and outputs provide a means of exchanging digital state information between Ethernet-networked devices.
5 The IEC 61850 GSSE (Generic Substation State Event) and GOOSE (Generic Object Oriented Substation Event) stan-
dards are used.
The sharing of digital point state information between GSSE/GOOSE equipped relays is essentially an extension to Flex-
Logic, allowing distributed FlexLogic by making operands available to/from devices on a common communications net-
work. In addition to digital point states, GSSE/GOOSE messages identify the originator of the message and provide other
information required by the communication specification. All devices listen to network messages and capture data only from
messages that have originated in selected devices.
IEC 61850 GSSE messages are compatible with UCA GOOSE messages and contain a fixed set of digital points. IEC
61850 GOOSE messages can, in general, contain any configurable data items. When used by the remote input/output fea-
ture, IEC 61850 GOOSE messages contain the same data as GSSE messages.
Both GSSE and GOOSE messages are designed to be short, reliable, and high priority. GOOSE messages have additional
advantages over GSSE messages due to their support of VLAN (virtual LAN) and Ethernet priority tagging functionality.
The GSSE message structure contains space for 128 bit pairs representing digital point state information. The IEC 61850
specification provides 32 “DNA” bit pairs that represent the state of two pre-defined events and 30 user-defined events. All
remaining bit pairs are “UserSt” bit pairs, which are status bits representing user-definable events. The D30 implementation
provides 32 of the 96 available UserSt bit pairs.
The IEC 61850 specification includes features that are used to cope with the loss of communication between transmitting
and receiving devices. Each transmitting device will send a GSSE/GOOSE message upon a successful power-up, when
the state of any included point changes, or after a specified interval (the default update time) if a change-of-state has not
occurred. The transmitting device also sends a ‘hold time’ which is set greater than four times the programmed default time
required by the receiving device.
Receiving devices are constantly monitoring the communications network for messages they require, as recognized by the
identification of the originating device carried in the message. Messages received from remote devices include the mes-
sage time allowed to live. The receiving relay sets a timer assigned to the originating device to this time interval, and if it
has not received another message from this device at time-out, the remote device is declared to be non-communicating, so
it will use the programmed default state for all points from that specific remote device. If a message is received from a
remote device before the time allowed to live expires, all points for that device are updated to the states contained in the
message and the hold timer is restarted. The status of a remote device, where “Offline” indicates non-communicating, can
be displayed.
The remote input/output facility provides for remote inputs and 64 remote outputs.

those originating remote devices of interest. This setting is used to select specific remote devices by entering (bottom row)
the exact identification (ID) assigned to those devices.
The REMOTE DEVICE 1 ETYPE APPID setting is only used with GOOSE messages; they are not applicable to GSSE mes-
sages. This setting identifies the Ethernet application identification in the GOOSE message. It should match the corre-
sponding settings on the sending device.
The REMOTE DEVICE 1 DATASET setting provides for the choice of the D30 fixed (DNA/UserSt) dataset (that is, containing
DNA and UserSt bit pairs), or one of the configurable datasets.
Note that the dataset for the received data items must be made up of existing items in an existing logical node. For this rea-
son, logical node GGIO3 is instantiated to hold the incoming data items. GGIO3 is not necessary to make use of the
received data. The remote input data item mapping takes care of the mapping of the inputs to remote input FlexLogic oper-
ands. However, GGIO3 data can be read by IEC 61850 clients.

through UserSt-32, and Dataset Item 1 through Dataset Item 32. The function of DNA inputs is defined in the IEC 61850
specification and is presented in the IEC 61850 DNA Assignments table in the Remote Outputs section. The function of
UserSt inputs is defined by the user selection of the FlexLogic operand whose state is represented in the GSSE/GOOSE
message. A user must program a DNA point from the appropriate FlexLogic operand.
Remote input 1 must be programmed to replicate the logic state of a specific signal from a specific remote device for local
use. This programming is performed via the three settings shown above.
The REMOTE INPUT 1 ID setting allows the user to assign descriptive text to the remote input. The REMOTE IN 1 DEVICE setting
selects the remote device which originates the required signal, as previously assigned to the remote device via the setting
REMOTE DEVICE (16) ID (see the Remote Devices section). The REMOTE IN 1 ITEM setting selects the specific bits of the
GSSE/GOOSE message required.
The REMOTE IN 1 DEFAULT STATE setting selects the logic state for this point if the local relay has just completed startup or
the remote device sending the point is declared to be non-communicating. The following choices are available:

The DIRECT INPUT 1 DEFAULT STATE represents the state of the direct input when the associated direct device is offline. The
following choices are available:
• Setting DIRECT INPUT 1 DEFAULT STATE to “On” value defaults the input to Logic 1.
5
• Setting DIRECT INPUT 1 DEFAULT STATE to “Off” value defaults the input to Logic 0.
• Setting DIRECT INPUT 1 DEFAULT STATE to “Latest/On” freezes the input in case of lost communications. If the latest
state is not known, such as after relay power-up but before the first communication exchange, the input will default to
Logic 1. When communication resumes, the input becomes fully operational.
• Setting DIRECT INPUT 1 DEFAULT STATE to “Latest/Off” freezes the input in case of lost communications. If the latest
state is not known, such as after relay power-up but before the first communication exchange, the input will default to
Logic 0. When communication resumes, the input becomes fully operational.

EXAMPLE 1: EXTENDING INPUT/OUTPUT CAPABILITIES OF A D30 RELAY


Consider an application that requires additional quantities of contact inputs or output contacts or lines of programmable
logic that exceed the capabilities of a single UR-series chassis. The problem is solved by adding an extra UR-series IED,
such as the C30, to satisfy the additional inputs/outputs and programmable logic requirements. The two IEDs are con-
nected via single-channel digital communication cards as shown below.

Assume contact input 1 from UR IED 2 is to be used by UR IED 1. The following settings should be applied (Direct Input 5
and bit number 12 are used, as an example):
UR IED 1: DIRECT INPUT 5 DEVICE ID = “2” UR IED 2: DIRECT OUT 12 OPERAND = “Cont Ip 1 On”
DIRECT INPUT 5 BIT NUMBER = “12”

The Cont Ip 1 On operand of UR IED 2 is now available in UR IED 1 as DIRECT INPUT 5 ON.
EXAMPLE 2: INTERLOCKING BUSBAR PROTECTION
A simple interlocking busbar protection scheme can be accomplished by sending a blocking signal from downstream

5 devices, say 2, 3 and 4, to the upstream device that monitors a single incomer of the busbar, as shown in the figure below.

Assume that Phase Instantaneous Overcurrent 1 is used by Devices 2, 3, and 4 to block Device 1. If not blocked, Device 1
would trip the bus upon detecting a fault and applying a short coordination time delay.
The following settings should be applied (assume Bit 3 is used by all 3 devices to send the blocking signal and Direct Inputs
7, 8, and 9 are used by the receiving device to monitor the three blocking signals):
UR IED 2: DIRECT OUT 3 OPERAND: "PHASE IOC1 OP"

Now the three blocking signals are available in UR IED 1 as DIRECT INPUT 7 ON, DIRECT INPUT 8 ON, and DIRECT INPUT 9
ON. Upon losing communications or a device, the scheme is inclined to block (if any default state is set to “On”), or to trip
the bus on any overcurrent condition (all default states set to “Off”).

5.8.11 TELEPROTECTION INPUTS AND OUTPUTS


5 a) OVERVIEW
The relay provides sixteen teleprotection inputs on communications channel 1 (numbered 1-1 through 1-16) and sixteen
teleprotection inputs on communications channel 2 (on two-terminals two-channel and three-terminal systems only, num-
bered 2-1 through 2-16). The remote relay connected to channels 1 and 2 of the local relay is programmed by assigning
FlexLogic operands to be sent via the selected communications channel. This allows the user to create distributed protec-
tion and control schemes via dedicated communications channels. Some examples are directional comparison pilot
schemes and direct transfer tripping. It should be noted that failures of communications channels will affect teleprotection
functionality. The teleprotection function must be enabled to utilize the inputs.

Setting the TELEPROT INPUT ~~ DEFAULT setting to “On” defaults the input to logic 1 when the channel fails. A value of “Off”
defaults the input to logic 0 when the channel fails.
The “Latest/On” and “Latest/Off” values freeze the input in case of lost communications. If the latest state is not known,
such as after relay power-up but before the first communication exchange, then the input defaults to logic 1 for “Latest/On”
and logic 0 for “Latest/Off”.

As the following figure demonstrates, processing of the teleprotection inputs/outputs is dependent on the number of com-
munication channels and terminals. On two-terminal two-channel systems, they are processed continuously on each chan-
nel and mapped separately per channel. Therefore, to achieve redundancy, the user must assign the same operand on
both channels (teleprotection outputs at the sending end or corresponding teleprotection inputs at the receiving end). On
three-terminal two-channel systems, redundancy is achieved by programming signal re-transmittal in the case of channel
failure between any pair of relays.

The IEC 61850 GOOSE analog inputs feature allows the transmission of analog values between any two UR-series
devices. The following settings are available for each GOOSE analog input.
• ANALOG 1 DEFAULT: This setting specifies the value of the GOOSE analog input when the sending device is offline
and the ANALOG 1 DEFAULT MODE is set to “Default Value”.This setting is stored as an IEEE 754 / IEC 60559 floating
point number. Because of the large range of this setting, not all possible values can be stored. Some values may be
rounded to the closest possible floating point number.
• ANALOG 1 DEFAULT MODE: When the sending device is offline and this setting is “Last Known”, the value of the
GOOSE analog input remains at the last received value. When the sending device is offline and this setting value is
“Default Value”, then the value of the GOOSE analog input is defined by the ANALOG 1 DEFAULT setting.
• GOOSE ANALOG 1 UNITS: This setting specifies a four-character alphanumeric string that can is used in the actual
values display of the corresponding GOOSE analog input value.
GOOSE Analogs are floating-point values, with no units. The GOOSE UNIT and PU base settings allow the user to

GOOSE Analogs can be compared to other GOOSE Analogs with any character string or no string.
• GOOSE ANALOG 1 PU: This setting specifies the per-unit base factor when using the GOOSE analog input FlexAna-
log values in other D30 features, such as FlexElements. The base factor is applied to the GOOSE analog input Flex-
Analog quantity to normalize it to a per-unit quantity. The base units are described in the following table.
The per-unit base setting represents thousands, not single units. For example, a PU base of 1.000 is actually 1000 and
a PU base of 0.001 is 1.
When using GOOSE Analogs and PU base in FlexElements, the largest value that can be displayed in the FlexEle-

Hardware and software is provided to receive signals from external transducers and convert these signals into a digital for-
mat for use as required. The relay will accept inputs in the range of –1 to +20 mA DC, suitable for use with most common
transducer output ranges; all inputs are assumed to be linear over the complete range. Specific hardware details are con-
tained in chapter 3.
Before the DCmA input signal can be used, the value of the signal measured by the relay must be converted to the range
5 and quantity of the external transducer primary input parameter, such as DC voltage or temperature. The relay simplifies
this process by internally scaling the output from the external transducer and displaying the actual primary parameter.
DCmA input channels are arranged in a manner similar to CT and VT channels. The user configures individual channels
with the settings shown here.
The channels are arranged in sub-modules of two channels, numbered from 1 through 8 from top to bottom. On power-up,
the relay will automatically generate configuration settings for every channel, based on the order code, in the same general
manner that is used for CTs and VTs. Each channel is assigned a slot letter followed by the row number, 1 through 8 inclu-
sive, which is used as the channel number. The relay generates an actual value for each available input channel.
Settings are automatically generated for every channel available in the specific relay as shown above for the first channel of
a type 5F transducer module installed in slot H.
The function of the channel may be either “Enabled” or “Disabled”. If “Disabled”, no actual values are created for the chan-
nel. An alphanumeric “ID” is assigned to each channel; this ID will be included in the channel actual value, along with the
programmed units associated with the parameter measured by the transducer, such as volts, °C, megawatts, etc. This ID is
also used to reference the channel as the input parameter to features designed to measure this type of parameter. The
DCMA INPUT H1 RANGE setting specifies the mA DC range of the transducer connected to the input channel.

The DCMA INPUT H1 MIN VALUE and DCMA INPUT H1 MAX VALUE settings are used to program the span of the transducer in
primary units. For example, a temperature transducer might have a span from 0 to 250°C; in this case the DCMA INPUT H1
MIN VALUE value is “0” and the DCMA INPUT H1 MAX VALUE value is “250”. Another example would be a watts transducer with
a span from –20 to +180 MW; in this case the DCMA INPUT H1 MIN VALUE value would be “–20” and the DCMA INPUT H1 MAX
VALUE value “180”. Intermediate values between the min and max values are scaled linearly.

common use. Specific hardware details are contained in chapter 3.
RTD input channels are arranged in a manner similar to CT and VT channels. The user configures individual channels with

The channels are arranged in sub-modules of two channels, numbered from 1 through 8 from top to bottom. On power-up,

Settings are automatically generated for every channel available in the specific relay as shown above for the first channel of
a type 5C transducer module installed in the first available slot.
The function of the channel may be either “Enabled” or “Disabled”. If “Disabled”, there will not be an actual value created for
the channel. An alphanumeric ID is assigned to the channel; this ID will be included in the channel actual values. It is also 5
used to reference the channel as the input parameter to features designed to measure this type of parameter. Selecting the
type of RTD connected to the channel configures the channel.
Actions based on RTD overtemperature, such as trips or alarms, are done in conjunction with the FlexElements feature. In
FlexElements, the operate level is scaled to a base of 100°C. For example, a trip level of 150°C is achieved by setting the
operate level at 1.5 pu. FlexElement operands are available to FlexLogic for further interlocking or to operate an output
contact directly.

for CTs and VTs. Each channel is assigned a slot letter followed by the row number, 1 through 8 inclusive, which is used as
the channel number.
Both the output range and a signal driving a given output are user-programmable via the following settings menu (an exam-
ple for channel M5 is shown).
The relay checks the driving signal (x in equations below) for the minimum and maximum limits, and subsequently re-
scales so the limits defined as MIN VAL and MAX VAL match the output range of the hardware defined as RANGE. The follow- 5
ing equation is applied:

 I min if x < MIN VAL



I out =  I max if x > MAX VAL (EQ 5.27)

 k ( x – MIN VAL ) + I min otherwise

where: x is a driving signal specified by the SOURCE setting


Imin and Imax are defined by the RANGE setting
k is a scaling constant calculated as:
I max – I min
k = ------------------------------------------------- (EQ 5.28)
MAX VAL – MIN VAL

The feature is intentionally inhibited if the MAX VAL and MIN VAL settings are entered incorrectly, e.g. when MAX VAL – MIN
VAL< 0.1 pu. The resulting characteristic is illustrated in the following figure.

5.9 TRANSDUCER INPUTS AND OUTPUTS 5 SETTINGS

The DCmA output settings are described below.


• DCMA OUTPUT H1 SOURCE: This setting specifies an internal analog value to drive the analog output. Actual values
(FlexAnalog parameters) such as power, current amplitude, voltage amplitude, power factor, etc. can be configured as
sources driving DCmA outputs. Refer to Appendix A for a complete list of FlexAnalog parameters.
• DCMA OUTPUT H1 RANGE: This setting allows selection of the output range. Each DCmA channel may be set inde-
pendently to work with different ranges. The three most commonly used output ranges are available.
• DCMA OUTPUT H1 MIN VAL: This setting allows setting the minimum limit for the signal that drives the output. This
setting is used to control the mapping between an internal analog value and the output current. The setting is entered
in per-unit values. The base units are defined in the same manner as the FlexElement base units.
• DCMA OUTPUT H1 MAX VAL: This setting allows setting the maximum limit for the signal that drives the output. This
setting is used to control the mapping between an internal analog value and the output current. The setting is entered
in per-unit values. The base units are defined in the same manner as the FlexElement base units.
The DCMA OUTPUT H1 MIN VAL and DCMA OUTPUT H1 MAX VAL settings are ignored for power factor base units (i.e. if
the DCMA OUTPUT H1 SOURCE is set to FlexAnalog value based on power factor measurement).
NOTE

Three application examples are described below.


EXAMPLE: POWER MONITORING
A three phase active power on a 13.8 kV system measured via UR-series relay source 1 is to be monitored by the DCmA
H1 output of the range of –1 to 1 mA. The following settings are applied on the relay: CT ratio = 1200:5, VT secondary 115,
VT connection is delta, and VT ratio = 120. The nominal current is 800 A primary and the nominal power factor is 0.90. The
power is to be monitored in both importing and exporting directions and allow for 20% overload compared to the nominal.

5 The nominal three-phase power is:

P = 3 × 13.8 kV × 0.8 kA × 0.9 = 17.21 MW (EQ 5.29)

The three-phase power with 20% overload margin is:


P max = 1.2 × 17.21 MW = 20.65 MW (EQ 5.30)

The base unit for power (refer to the FlexElements section in this chapter for additional details) is:
P BASE = 115 V × 120 × 1.2 kA = 16.56 MW (EQ 5.31)

The minimum and maximum power values to be monitored (in pu) are:
– 20.65 MW 20.65 MW
minimum power = ------------------------------ = – 1.247 pu, maximum power = --------------------------- = 1.247 pu (EQ 5.32)
16.56 MW 16.56 MW
The following settings should be entered:
DCMA OUTPUT H1 SOURCE: “SRC 1 P”
DCMA OUTPUT H1 RANGE: “–1 to 1 mA”
DCMA OUTPUT H1 MIN VAL: “–1.247 pu”
DCMA OUTPUT H1 MAX VAL: “1.247 pu”

With the above settings, the output will represent the power with the scale of 1 mA per 20.65 MW. The worst-case error for
this application can be calculated by superimposing the following two sources of error:
• ±0.5% of the full scale for the analog output module, or ± 0.005 × ( 1 – ( – 1 ) ) × 20.65 MW = ± 0.207 MW
• ±1% of reading error for the active power at power factor of 0.9
For example at the reading of 20 MW, the worst-case error is 0.01 × 20 MW + 0.207 MW = 0.407 MW.
EXAMPLE: CURRENT MONITORING
The phase A current (true RMS value) is to be monitored via the H2 current output working with the range from 4 to 20 mA.
The CT ratio is 5000:5 and the maximum load current is 4200 A. The current should be monitored from 0 A upwards, allow-
ing for 50% overload.
The phase current with the 50% overload margin is:

5-264 D30 Line Distance Protection System GE Multilin


5 SETTINGS 5.9 TRANSDUCER INPUTS AND OUTPUTS

I max = 1.5 × 4.2 kA = 6.3 kA (EQ 5.33)

The base unit for current (refer to the FlexElements section in this chapter for additional details) is:
I BASE = 5 kA (EQ 5.34)

The minimum and maximum power values to be monitored (in pu) are:
0 kA 6.3 kA
minimum current = ------------ = 0 pu, maximum current = ----------------- = 1.26 pu (EQ 5.35)
5 kA 5 kA
The following settings should be entered:
DCMA OUTPUT H2 SOURCE: “SRC 1 Ia RMS”
DCMA OUTPUT H2 RANGE: “4 to 20 mA”
DCMA OUTPUT H2 MIN VAL: “0.000 pu”
DCMA OUTPUT H2 MAX VAL: “1.260 pu”

The worst-case error for this application could be calculated by superimposing the following two sources of error:
• ±0.5% of the full scale for the analog output module, or ± 0.005 × ( 20 – 4 ) × 6.3 kA = ± 0.504 kA
• ±0.25% of reading or ±0.1% of rated (whichever is greater) for currents between 0.1 and 2.0 of nominal
For example, at the reading of 4.2 kA, the worst-case error is max(0.0025 × 4.2 kA, 0.001 × 5 kA) + 0.504 kA = 0.515 kA.
EXAMPLE: VOLTAGE MONITORING
A positive-sequence voltage on a 400 kV system measured via source 2 is to be monitored by the DCmA H3 output with a
range of 0 to 1 mA. The VT secondary setting is 66.4 V, the VT ratio setting is 6024, and the VT connection setting is
“Delta”. The voltage should be monitored in the range from 70% to 110% of nominal.
The minimum and maximum positive-sequence voltages to be monitored are: 5
400 kV 400 kV
V min = 0.7 × ------------------- = 161.66 kV, V max = 1.1 × ------------------- = 254.03 kV (EQ 5.36)
3 3
The base unit for voltage (refer to the FlexElements section in this chapter for additional details) is:
V BASE = 0.0664 kV × 6024 = 400 kV (EQ 5.37)

The minimum and maximum voltage values to be monitored (in pu) are:
161.66 kV 254.03 kV
minimum voltage = --------------------------- = 0.404 pu, maximum voltage = --------------------------- = 0.635 pu (EQ 5.38)
400 kV 400 kV
The following settings should be entered:
DCMA OUTPUT H3 SOURCE: “SRC 2 V_1 mag”
DCMA OUTPUT H3 RANGE: “0 to 1 mA”
DCMA OUTPUT H3 MIN VAL: “0.404 pu”
DCMA OUTPUT H3 MAX VAL: “0.635 pu”

The limit settings differ from the expected 0.7 pu and 1.1 pu because the relay calculates the positive-sequence quantities
scaled to the phase-to-ground voltages, even if the VTs are connected in “Delta” (see the Metering Conventions section in
chapter 6), while at the same time the VT nominal voltage is 1 pu for the settings. Consequently the settings required in this
example differ from naturally expected by the factor of 3 .
The worst-case error for this application could be calculated by superimposing the following two sources of error:
• ±0.5% of the full scale for the analog output module, or ± 0.005 × ( 1 – 0 ) × 254.03 kV = ± 1.27 kV
• ±0.5% of reading
For example, under nominal conditions, the positive-sequence reads 230.94 kV and the worst-case error is
0.005 x 230.94 kV + 1.27 kV = 2.42 kV.

 TESTING FUNCTION: Disabled
TEST MODE FORCING: Range: FlexLogic operand
MESSAGE
On

The D30 provides a test facility to verify the functionality of contact inputs and outputs, some communication functions and
the phasor measurement unit (where applicable), using simulated conditions. The test mode is indicated on the relay face-
plate by a Test Mode LED indicator.
The test mode may be in any of three states: disabled, isolated, or forcible.
In the “Disabled” mode, D30 operation is normal and all test features are disabled.
In the “Isolated” mode, the D30 is prevented from performing certain control actions, including tripping via contact outputs.
All relay contact outputs, including latching outputs, are disabled. Channel tests and phasor measurement unit tests remain
usable on applicable UR-series models.
In the “Forcible” mode, the operand selected by the TEST MODE FORCING setting controls the relay inputs and outputs. If the
test mode is forcible, and the operand assigned to the TEST MODE FORCING setting is “Off”, the D30 inputs and outputs oper-
ate normally. If the test mode is forcible, and the operand assigned to the TEST MODE FORCING setting is “On”, the D30 con-
tact inputs and outputs are forced to the values specified in the following sections. Forcing may be controlled by manually
changing the operand selected by the TEST MODE FORCING setting between on and off, or by selecting a user-programma-
ble pushbutton, contact input, or communication-based input operand. Channel tests and phasor measurement unit tests

5 remain usable on applicable UR-series models.


Communications based inputs and outputs remain fully operational in test mode. If a control action is programmed
using direct inputs and outputs or remote inputs and outputs, then the test procedure must take this into account.
NOTE

When in “Forcible” mode, the operand selected by the TEST MODE FORCING setting dictates further response of the D30 to
testing conditions. To force contact inputs and outputs through relay settings, set TEST MODE FORCING to “On”. To force con-
tact inputs and outputs through a user-programmable condition, such as FlexLogic operand (pushbutton, contact input,
communication-based input, or a combination of these), set TEST MODE FORCING to the desired operand. The contact input
or output is forced when the selected operand assumes a logic 1 state.
The D30 remains fully operational in test mode, allowing for various testing procedures. In particular, the protection and
control elements, FlexLogic, and communication-based inputs and outputs function normally.
The only difference between the normal operation and the test mode is the behavior of the input and output contacts. The
contact inputs can be forced to report as open or closed or remain fully operational, whereas the contact outputs can be
forced to open, close, freeze, or remain fully operational. The response of the contact input and output contacts to the test
mode is programmed individually for each input and output using the force contact inputs and force contact outputs test
functions described in the following sections.
The test mode state is indicated on the relay faceplate by a combination of the Test Mode LED indicator, the In-Service LED
indicator, and by the critical fail relay, as shown in the following table.

The TEST MODE FUNCTION setting can only be changed by a direct user command. Following a restart, power up, settings
upload, or firmware upgrade, the test mode will remain at the last programmed value. This allows a D30 that has been
placed in isolated mode to remain isolated during testing and maintenance activities. On restart, the TEST MODE FORCING
setting and the force contact input and force contact output settings all revert to their default states.

The relay contact inputs can be pre-programmed to respond to the test mode in the following ways:
• If set to “Disabled”, the input remains fully operational. It is controlled by the voltage across its input terminals and can
be turned on and off by external circuitry. This value should be selected if a given input must be operational during the
test. This includes, for example, an input initiating the test, or being a part of a user pre-programmed test sequence.
• If set to “Open”, the input is forced to report as opened (Logic 0) for the entire duration of the test mode regardless of
the voltage across the input terminals.
• If set to “Closed”, the input is forced to report as closed (Logic 1) for the entire duration of the test mode regardless of
the voltage across the input terminals.
The force contact inputs feature provides a method of performing checks on the function of all contact inputs. Once
enabled, the relay is placed into test mode, allowing this feature to override the normal function of contact inputs. The Test
Mode LED will be on, indicating that the relay is in test mode. The state of each contact input may be programmed as “Dis-
abled”, “Open”, or “Closed”. All contact input operations return to normal when all settings for this feature are disabled.

The relay contact outputs can be pre-programmed to respond to the test mode.
If set to “Disabled”, the contact output remains fully operational. If operates when its control operand is logic 1 and will
resets when its control operand is logic 0. If set to “Energized”, the output will close and remain closed for the entire dura-
tion of the test mode, regardless of the status of the operand configured to control the output contact. If set to “De-ener-
gized”, the output will open and remain opened for the entire duration of the test mode regardless of the status of the
operand configured to control the output contact. If set to “Freeze”, the output retains its position from before entering the
test mode, regardless of the status of the operand configured to control the output contact.
These settings are applied two ways. First, external circuits may be tested by energizing or de-energizing contacts. Sec-
ond, by controlling the output contact state, relay logic may be tested and undesirable effects on external circuits avoided.
Example 1: Initiating test mode through user-programmable pushbutton 1

5 For example, the test mode can be initiated from user-programmable pushbutton 1. The pushbutton will be programmed as
“Latched” (pushbutton pressed to initiate the test, and pressed again to terminate the test). During the test, contact input 1
should remain operational, contact inputs 2 and 3 should open, and contact input 4 should close. Also, contact output 1
should freeze, contact output 2 should open, contact output 3 should close, and contact output 4 should remain fully opera-
tional. The required settings are shown below.
To enable user-programmable pushbutton 1 to initiate the test mode, make the following changes in the SETTINGS 
TESTING  TEST MODE menu: TEST MODE FUNCTION: “Enabled” and TEST MODE INITIATE: “PUSHBUTTON 1 ON”

Make the following changes to configure the contact inputs and outputs. In the SETTINGS  TESTING  FORCE CONTACT

and FORCE Cont Op 4: “Disabled”
Example 2: Initiating a test from user-programmable pushbutton 1 or through remote input 1
In this example, the test can be initiated locally from user-programmable pushbutton 1 or remotely through remote input 1.
Both the pushbutton and the remote input will be programmed as “Latched”. Write the following FlexLogic equation:

The RTC Sync Source actual value is the time synchronizing source the relay is using at present. Possible sources are:
Port 1 PTP Clock, Port 2 PTP Clock, Port 3 PTP Clock, IRIG-B, SNTP, and None. An actual value displays when the relay
includes the IEEE 1588 software option.
The Grandmaster ID is the grandmasterIdentity code being received from the present PTP grandmaster, if any. When the
relay is not using any PTP grandmaster, this actual value is zero. The grandmasterIdentity code is specified by PTP to be
globally unique, so one can always know which clock is grandmaster in a system with multiple grandmaster-capable clocks.

6.2 STATUS 6 ACTUAL VALUES

Accuracy is the estimated maximum time error at present in the RTC, considering the quality information imbedded in the
received time signal. The value 999,999,999 indicates that the magnitude of the estimated error is one second or more, or
that the error cannot be estimated.
PORT 1…3 PTP STATE is the present state of the port’s PTP clock. The PTP clock state is:
• DISABLED is the port’s function setting is Disabled,
• NO SIGNAL if enabled but no signal from an active master has been found and selected,
• CALIBRATING if an active master has been selected but lock is not at present established,
• SYNCH’D (NO PDELAY) if the port is synchronized, but the peer delay mechanism is non-operational, and
• SYNCHRONIZED if synchronized.
PTP-— IRIG-B DELTA is the time difference, measured in nanoseconds, between the fractional seconds portion of the time
being received via PTP and that being received via IRIG-B. A positive value indicates that PTP time is fast compared to
IRIG-B time.

The AVERAGE MSG RETURN TIME is the time taken for direct output messages to return to the sender in a direct input/output
ring configuration (this value is not applicable for non-ring configurations). This is a rolling average calculated for the last
ten messages. There are two return times for dual-channel communications modules.
The UNRETURNED MSG COUNT values (one per communications channel) count the direct output messages that do not
make the trip around the communications ring. The CRC FAIL COUNT values (one per communications channel) count the
direct output messages that have been received but fail the CRC check. High values for either of these counts may indicate
on a problem with wiring, the communication channel, or one or more relays. The UNRETURNED MSG COUNT and CRC FAIL
COUNT values can be cleared using the CLEAR DIRECT I/O COUNTERS command.

The DIRECT INPUT 1 to DIRECT INPUT (32) values represent the state of each direct input.

• VALIDITY OF CHANNEL CONFIGURATION: This value displays the current state of the communications channel
identification check, and hence validity. If a remote relay ID does not match the programmed ID at the local relay, the
“FAIL” message will be displayed. The “N/A” value appears if the local relay ID is set to a default value of “0”, the chan-

These values specify the remaining number of TCP connections still available for each protocol. The display depends on
the options applicable to your device, for example the PMU entry does not display when not applicable. Each time a con-
nection is used, the remaining number of connections decrements. When released, the remaining number of connections
increments. If no connection is made over the specific protocol, the number equals the maximum number available for the
specific protocol.
6 For example, the maximum number of Modbus TCP connections is 4. Once an EnerVista session is opened on a computer
connected to the UR over Ethernet, the Modbus TCP status shows 3. If the EnerVista application is closed, the Modbus
TCP status shows 4.

b) UR CONVENTION FOR MEASURING PHASE ANGLES


All phasors calculated by UR-series relays and used for protection, control and metering functions are rotating phasors that
maintain the correct phase angle relationships with each other at all times.
For display and oscillography purposes, all phasor angles in a given relay are referred to an AC input channel pre-selected
by the SETTINGS  SYSTEM SETUP  POWER SYSTEM  FREQUENCY AND PHASE REFERENCE setting. This setting
defines a particular AC signal source to be used as the reference.
The relay will first determine if any “Phase VT” bank is indicated in the source. If it is, voltage channel VA of that bank is
used as the angle reference. Otherwise, the relay determines if any “Aux VT” bank is indicated; if it is, the auxiliary voltage
channel of that bank is used as the angle reference. If neither of the two conditions is satisfied, then two more steps of this
hierarchical procedure to determine the reference signal include “Phase CT” bank and “Ground CT” bank.
If the AC signal pre-selected by the relay upon configuration is not measurable, the phase angles are not referenced. The
phase angles are assigned as positive in the leading direction, and are presented as negative in the lagging direction, to
more closely align with power system metering conventions. This is illustrated below.

c) UR CONVENTION FOR MEASURING SYMMETRICAL COMPONENTS


The UR-series of relays calculate voltage symmetrical components for the power system phase A line-to-neutral voltage,
and symmetrical components of the currents for the power system phase A current. Owing to the above definition, phase
angle relations between the symmetrical currents and voltages stay the same irrespective of the connection of instrument
transformers. This is important for setting directional protection elements that use symmetrical voltages.
For display and oscillography purposes the phase angles of symmetrical components are referenced to a common refer-
ence as described in the previous sub-section.
WYE-CONNECTED INSTRUMENT TRANSFORMERS:
• ABC phase rotation: • ACB phase rotation:

V_0 = --- ( V AG + V BG + V CG ) V_0 = --- ( V AG + V BG + V CG )

The above equations apply to currents as well.

Loop impedance is defined as Z##=|Z##| Angle=R##+jX##, in secondary ohms and ## is the loop indication (AB, BC, CA,
AG, BG, and CG respectively).
They are calculated as per the following equations.

VA – VB VB – VC VC – VA
ZAB = ---------------------- ZBC = ----------------------- ZCA = -----------------------
IA – IB IB – IC IC – IA
6

Where VA, VB, VC are phase voltage phasors in secondary volts; IA, IB, IC are current phasors in secondary amps, I0 is
the zero sequence current phasors in secondary amps; and IG is the ground current from the parallel line scaled to the
source phase CT in secondary amps.
Z0/Z1 is the zero sequence impedance to positive sequence impedance ratio, and Z0M/Z1 is mutual zero sequence imped-
ance to positive sequence impedance ratio, both are settings taken from the first enabled ground distance zone (count from
zone 1 to zone 5).
ZAG, ZBG, ZCG are calculated only if at least one ground distance zone is enabled; otherwise all the metering quantities for
ground distance impedance (ZAG, ZBG, and ZCG) are reset to zero, including magnitude and angle. Note that VTs of the
distance source must be connected in Wye if the ground distance element is enabled.

by changing a command setting to “Yes” and pressing the ENTER key. The command setting will then automatically revert
to “No”. The service command is activated by entering a numerical code and pressing the ENTER key.
The PERFORM LAMPTEST command turns on all faceplate LEDs and display pixels for a short duration. The UPDATE
ORDER CODE command causes the relay to scan the backplane for the hardware modules and update the order code to
match. If an update occurs, the following message is shown.
UPDATING...
PLEASE WAIT

There is no impact if there have been no changes to the hardware modules. When an update does not occur, the ORDER
CODE NOT UPDATED message will be shown.
The REBOOT RELAY COMMAND reboots the relay so that changes to configuration settings can take effect. In most cases, if
changes are made to the configuration settings these changes do not take effect unless the relay is rebooted.
With the CyberSentry option, the Administrator or Operator role can initiate the Reboot Relay command.

NOTE

The SERVICE COMMAND is used to perform specific D30 service actions. Presently, there is only one service action avail-
able. Code “101” is used to clear factory diagnostic information stored in the non-volatile memory. If a code other than “101”
is entered, the command will be ignored and no actions will be taken. Various self-checking diagnostics are performed in 7
the background while the D30 is running, and diagnostic information is stored on the non-volatile memory from time to time
based on the self-checking result. Although the diagnostic information is cleared before the D30 is shipped from the factory,
the user may want to clear the diagnostic information for themselves under certain circumstances. For example, it may be
desirable to clear diagnostic information after replacement of hardware. Once the diagnostic information is cleared, all self-
checking variables are reset to their initial state and diagnostics will restart from scratch.
SAVE VOLATILE DATA saves this data to compact flash memory prior to shutdown. This allows the saved data to be as recent
as possible instead of relying on the periodic timer to save the data.

7.1.9 RELAY SELF-TESTS

a) DESCRIPTION
The relay performs a number of self-test diagnostic checks to ensure device integrity. The two types of self-tests (major and
minor) are listed in the tables below. When either type of self-test error occurs, the Trouble LED Indicator will turn on and a
target message displayed. All errors record an event in the event recorder. Latched errors can be cleared by pressing the
RESET key, providing the condition is no longer present.
Major self-test errors also result in the following:
• The critical fail relay on the power supply module is de-energized.
• All other output relays are de-energized and are prevented from further operation.
• The faceplate In Service LED indicator is turned off.
• A RELAY OUT OF SERVICE event is recorded.

d) WRONG TRANSCEIVER MESSAGES


Description: The type of SFP does not match the CPU type.
T-type CPU = All ports support fiber SFPs only
Type: minor
Target: latched
Message: "WRONG TRANSCEIVER"
7 A webpage "SFP Transceiver Information" is provided. This page displays the type of the SFP in it. This data is to be used
with the CPU type to know the cause of the problem.

e) SFP X MODULE FAIL MESSAGES


Description: A faulty SFP or unplugging the SFP would generate this self test.
Type: minor
Target: self reset
Message: SFP MODULE x FAIL
The webpage "SFP Transceiver Information" described in the previous section applies for this self test as well. The "SFP
Module Fail" has higher priority and it suppresses the "Ethernet Fail" target message. The "SFP MODULE FAIL FUNC-
TION" setting enables/disables this self test. The target for this self test is priority-based, with the third one being the high-
est priority. For example, if all three SFP modules fail, then the third SFP target is activated. If the third SFP module failure
resolves, then the second SFP target is activated.
HARDFIBER SELF-TEST ERROR MESSAGES
In addition to those provided by the standard UR-series devices, the UR devices implement HardFiber self-tests. These are
listed below. Any abnormal diagnostic condition indicated by the LEDs or the critical failure relay also results in a self-test
message, so troubleshooting is described here. For other relays, such at the B95Plus, see that product’s instruction manual.

7 COMMANDS AND TARGETS 7.1 COMMANDS

Equipment Mismatch Major Self-Test


Description: The number or type of installed hardware modules does not match the order code stored in the CPU. The stan-
dard UR-series Equipment Mismatch self-test is extended to cover the possible presence of a Process Card.
Severity: Protection is not available and all contact outputs and shared outputs are de-asserted.
If this message appears, check all modules against the order code. Ensure they are inserted properly, and cycle the control
power. If a module has intentionally been added or removed use the Update Order Code command to notify the relay that
the current module configuration is correct.
Module Failure Major Self-Test
Description: UR-series device module hardware failure detected.
Severity: Protection is not available and all contact outputs and shared outputs are de-asserted.
If this message appears, contact the factory and supply the failure code noted in the display. Text in the message identifies
the failed module (for example, H81). If operated on a Process Card failure, the Module Fail self-test seals-in (latches) till
the UR-series device is restarted.
Process Bus Failure Major Self-test
Description: Mission critical data is not available via the process bus. An AC quantity is considered critical if both AC bank
origins and the crosschecking settings are other than none. This self-test is also initiated by an AC input discrepancy being
detected. See the description of the crosschecking setting in this manual for further information. In addition, this self-test
can be initiated by user logic responding to loss of critical contact input/output or other data using the Process Bus Failure
Operand user-programmable self-test setting. This setting is located in the Settings > Product Setup > User-Program-
mable Self Test menu.
Severity: Protection is not available and all contact outputs and shared outputs are de-asserted.
If this message appears, first rectify any Process Bus Trouble and Brick Trouble self-test errors. Check the actual value of
the operand referenced by the Process Bus Failure Operand setting, and if “On”, determine the cause and rectify.
Should the problem persist with the foregoing all clear, the cause must be an AC input discrepancy, which is typically the
result of problems in the input signals to the Bricks, or faults in the Brick input conditioning hardware. If the error was
annunciated the first time significant signal was encountered, suspect the former cause and check the copper connections
external to the Brick. Where multiple UR-series devices have self-test errors, look for common causes.
To further isolate AC input discrepancy errors, put the relay in test-isolated mode, then one by one, temporally change an
AC bank crosschecking setting to none, until the Process Bus Failure clears. Once the problem AC bank has been identi-
fied, the values from each of the two Bricks can be examined individually by temporarily mapping each to an AC bank with
a single origin.
Process Bus Trouble Minor Self-Test
7
Description: Communications problems with one or more Bricks. The text of the message identifies the affected field units.
This self-test is initiated by low received signal levels at either the Brick or Process Card end, and by the sustained failure
to receive poll responses from the proper Brick.
Severity: This self-test error does not directly inhibit protection. However, the affected Brick inputs/outputs may not be avail-
able to the UR-series device.
If this message appears, check the field unit actual values. An indication of equipment mismatch means that messages are
being received from a Brick, but there is a discrepancy between the settings and the actual Brick serial number, order code,
and/or core number. Check that the correct core on the correct Brick is patched through to the correct Process Card port,
and that the field unit settings are correct. An indication of communications loss means that no messages are being
received. Check that the patching is correct, and that the Brick has power. If that is not the problem, use a professional opti-
cal fiber connector cleaning kit to clean both sides of all optical fiber connections from the Process Card through to the
affected Brick. If the problem continues after cleaning, consult the factory.
Brick Trouble Minor Self-Test
Description: Brick internal self-testing has detected a trouble internal to the Brick.
Severity: This self-test error does not directly inhibit protection. However, some or all of the affected Brick inputs/outputs
may not be available to the UR-series device.

If this message appears, check the Brick environment for over/under temperatures and the voltage of its power source. If
the ambient temperature and supply voltage are within Brick specifications, consult the factory. Troubles resulting from a
Brick output failing to respond to an output command can only be detected while the command is active, and so in this case
the target is latched. A latched target can be unlatched by pressing the faceplate reset key if the command has ended,
however the output may still be non-functional.

8 THEORY OF OPERATION 8.1 DISTANCE ELEMENTS

8 THEORY OF OPERATION 8.1DISTANCE ELEMENTS 8.1.1 INTRODUCTION

The distance elements use memory voltage for polarization. Additional supervising functions – different for ground and
phase distance zones – complement a classical mho characteristic to enhance directional integrity and reach accuracy:
• To avoid overreaching during resistive faults under heavy pre-fault load conditions, the ground distance elements uti-
lize a load-adaptive (zero-sequence polarized) reactance characteristic to supervise the base mho characteristic.
• Both negative and zero-sequence currents are compared with the memory voltage to enhance directional integrity of
the ground distance elements.
• It is well known that ground distance elements – as per the principle of distance relaying – may have limited accuracy
during double-line-to-ground faults. In order to prevent maloperation in such cases the ground elements are blocked by
an extra “fault-type comparator” that utilizes the phase angle between the negative- and zero-sequence currents.
• The phase distance elements use reactance and memory polarized directional characteristics to supervise the mho
characteristic.
• Both ground and phase distance elements have the current supervision functions built-in.
The quadrilateral distance characteristic uses the reactance, directional, and current supervising functions as described
above. Right and left blinders adjustable as to both the resistive and angular positions complete the characteristic.
More information regarding the distance characteristics is found in the Distance characteristics section. An example of
analysis of the steady-state operation of the distance elements is found in the Distance elements analysis section.
The relay provides five zones of distance protection. All zones are identical in terms of settings. However, zone 1 has extra
adaptive mechanisms built-in to enhance the transient reach accuracy even when the voltage signals are supplied from
poor quality voltage sources such as capacitive voltage transformers (CVTs). Ground zones 2 through 5, in turn, have an
extra zero-sequence directional supervision implemented for their time-delayed operation after the memory expires. Con-
sequently, zone 1 is recommended as an underreaching element, and zones 2 through 5 are recommended as overreach-
ing elements and for time-delayed tripping.
The relay uses offset ground directional overcurrent functions as an optional supplement of the ground distance protection
for pilot-aided schemes. The elements are described in more details in the Ground directional overcurrent section.
The relay provides for an adaptive distance reach control to cope with the overreaching and sub-synchronous oscillations
when applied to, or in a near vicinity of series compensated lines. More details can be found in the Application on series
compensated lines section.
The distance elements use phase angle comparators to shape their characteristics as described in the Distance character-
istics section. The voltage and current phasors are estimated using optimized techniques as explained in the next section.

8.1.2 PHASOR ESTIMATION

The relay samples its input AC signals at 64 samples per power system cycle. A fast and accurate frequency tracking
mechanism ensures accurate filtering and phasor estimation during off-nominal frequency conditions.
The phasor estimation process for both currents and voltages is based on the commonly used Fourier algorithm. Due to a
different nature of signal distortions in the current and voltage signals digital pre-filtering algorithms have been, however,
designed and optimized separately for the current and voltage channels. 8
The current signals are pre-filtered using an improved digital MIMIC filter. The filter removes effectively the DC compo-
nent(s) guaranteeing transient overshoot below 2% regardless of the initial magnitude and time constant of the dc compo-
nent(s). The filter has significantly better frequency response for higher frequencies as compared with a classical MIMIC
filter. This was possible without introducing any significant phase delay thanks to the high sampling rate used by the relay.
The voltage signals are pre-filtered using a special digital filter designed to cope with CVT transients. The patented filter
combines filtering and memory actions enabling the relay to cope with CVT noise under high Source Impedance Ratios
(SIRs). The filter controls underestimation of the fault voltage magnitude to less than 1% of the nominal and prevents cer-
tain phase angle anomalies that can be encountered under heavy CVT noise and high SIRs.

8 THEORY OF OPERATION 8.1 DISTANCE ELEMENTS

j) FAULT-TYPE CHARACTERISTIC
The fault-type supervision applies to ground and phase elements and is achieved as follows.
For ground elements by checking the angle between
• A ground element — I_0 and IA_2
• B ground element — I_0 and IB_2
• C ground element — I_0 and IC_2
The limit angle of the comparator is not adjustable and equals 50°. The fault-type characteristic is intended to block the
ground distance elements during double-line-to-ground faults. The fault-type supervision is suppressed during open pole
conditions.
Phase elements supervision is applied to block phase distance elements operation during SLG faults. This is done by first
checking if the ground elements fault-type comparator, shown above, does not operate in the corresponding distance loop
and secondly confirming that fault type is matching phase-to-phase or three-phase signatures. See the Addendum at the
beginning of this manual for information.

k) ZERO-SEQUENCE DIRECTIONAL CHARACTERISTIC


The extra zero-sequence characteristic applies to ground zones 2 and higher and is achieved by checking angles between:
A ground element: I_0 × ZD and –V_0
B ground element: I_0 × ZD and –V_0
C ground element: I_0 × ZD and –V_0
The limit angle of the comparator is not adjustable and equals 90°. The zero-sequence directional characteristic improves
directional integrity for time-delayed operations after the memory expires.

l) OVERCURRENT SUPERVISION
The overcurrent supervision responds to the following currents:
AB phase element: (IA – IB) / 3
BC phase element: (IB – IC) / 3

8.1.4 FAST DISTANCE ALGORITHM

In order to improve operating speed of the phase and ground distance zone 1 and zone 2 elements under CVT transient
conditions for high SIRs up to 60, a fast distance algorithm is implemented in the relay. This algorithm uses a weighted
average digital filtering technique and runs in parallel with a regular distance algorithm, which uses a fixed digital CVT filter-
ing technique. The fast distance algorithm applies the same comparators as a regular distance algorithm.

8-6 D30 Line Distance Protection System GE Multilin


8 THEORY OF OPERATION 8.1 DISTANCE ELEMENTS

The fast distance algorithm is activated upon detection of the system disturbance and is active for three cycles only. The
pickup and operate operands of the fast distance elements are internally OR-ed with regular distance elements, to achieve
integrated distance element optimal operating speed.
Note that fast distance is not active for the following applications:
• Use of the dynamic reach control for series-compensated line applications by selecting a non-zero value for the volt-
age level setting in the Distance elements
• Non-directional option for the zone 1 and 2 Direction setting
• Phase Distance applications through power transformers, when the XFMR VOL CONNECTION or XFMR CUR CON-
NECTION setting is other than "None"

8.1.5 MEMORY POLARIZATION

All distance functions use memory polarization. The positive-sequence voltage – either memorized or actual – is used as a
polarizing signal. The memory is established when the positive-sequence voltage remains above 80% of its nominal value
for five power system cycles. The memory voltage is a two-cycle old voltage.
Once established, the memory is applied for the user-specified time interval. The memory timer is started when the voltage
drops below 80% of nominal or when the user-programmable condition is asserted to force memory polarization. After the
memory expires, the relay checks the magnitude of the actual positive-sequence voltage. If it is higher than 10% of nomi-
nal, the actual voltage is used; if lower, the memory voltage continues to be used.
A provision is added to force self-polarization from any user-programmable condition.
The memory-polarized mho has an extra directional integrity built-in as illustrated below. The self-polarized mho character-
istic is shifted in the reverse direction for a forward fault by an amount proportional to the source impedance, and in the for-
ward direction for a reverse fault.

Mutual zero-sequence compensation may raise concerns regarding directional integrity on reverse faults in the situation
when the relay gets ‘overcompensated’. This problem does not affect the D30 because its ground distance elements use
zero-sequence and negative-sequence currents in extra directional comparators. Both the currents are from the protected
line and are not affected by any compensation as the latter applies only to the reach defining comparators: the mho, reac-
tance and blinder characteristics.

8.2PHASE DISTANCE APPLIED TO POWER TRANSFORMERS 8.2.1 DESCRIPTION

As a Wye-Delta transformer introduces discontinuity for the zero-sequence circuit, the ground distance protection cannot
be applied, except special circumstances, to respond to faults behind the transformer.
The phase distance elements, however, could be developed so that both accurate reach and correct fault phase identifica-
tion is retained for faults behind the power transformer as seen from the relaying point. Without appropriate compensation,
the relay's reach would depend on a type of fault, creating considerable difficulties in applying the relay.
The D30 provides for any location of the VTs and CTs with respect to the involved power transformer and the direction of
any given zone.
In the following equations, the VT and CT locations are referenced as “None” if the transformer is not present between the
CT/VT and the intended reach point. Otherwise, the location is to be selected as a type of a transformer as seen from the
VT/CT position towards the intended reach point. The following figure explains the adopted rules.

8.2 PHASE DISTANCE APPLIED TO POWER TRANSFORMERS 8 THEORY OF OPERATION

Equations from the “Current Transformation” and “Voltage Transformation” columns are used to derive inputs to the three
(AB, BC, and CA) phase distance elements. For example, if the CTs are located at the delta side of the Delta-Wye 11 trans-
former, and a given zone is set to look through the transformer into the system connected to the Wye winding, the CT loca-
tion setting for that zone shall be set to Dy11 and the relay would use – 3I B instead of a traditional I A – I B for the AB
phase distance element.
The current supervision pickup setting applies to the currents specified in the “Current Transformation” columns.
A distance zone originates at the location of the VTs (regardless of the location of the CTs). For more information on set-
tings please refer to Chapter 9: Application of Settings.

Figure 8–5: SAMPLE SYSTEM CONFIGURATION


Normally, in order to respond to the fault shown in the figure, a distance relay shall be applied at the relaying point X. The
relay input signals at this location are shown in the following table.

INPUT PRIMARY SECONDARY


VA 100.4 kV ∠–7.32° 38.25 V ∠–7.32°
VB 97.23 kV ∠–53.4° 37.04 V ∠–53.4°

8 IB 1.288 kA ∠152.4° 21.47 A ∠152.4°
IC 0 0

If installed at the location X, the relay would use the following input signals for its phase AB distance element:
V = VAB = 77.402 kV ∠57.5° primary or 29.49 V ∠57.5° secondary
I = IA – IB = 2.576 kA ∠–27.6° primary or 42.93 A ∠–27.6° secondary
And consequently it would see an apparent impedance of:
Zapp = V / I = 30.05 Ω ∠85° primary or 0.687 Ω ∠85° secondary

If applied at location H, the relay sees the following input signals:

INPUT PRIMARY SECONDARY


VA 7.584 kV ∠–5.59° 69.95 V ∠–5.59°
VB 6.269 kV ∠–120.1° 54.52 V ∠–120.1°

IC 16.976 kA ∠–27.6° 10.61 A ∠–27.6°

The relay is set as follows:


XFMR VOL CONNECTION = “Dy11”
XFMR CUR CONNECTION = “Dy11”

Consequently, the following signals are applied to the phase AB distance element:
1
V = ------- V AB – V BC = 10.861 kV ∠59.9° primary or 94.45 V ∠59.9° secondary (EQ 8.1)
3

I = – 3I B = 58.860 kA ∠– 27.6° primary or 36.75 A ∠– 27.6° secondary (EQ 8.2)

This results in the following apparent impedance:


V 94.45 kV ∠59.9°
Z app = ---- = ---------------------------------------------- = 2.570 Ω ∠87.5° secondary (EQ 8.3)
I 36.75 kA ∠– 27.6 °
The above value is a correct measure of the distance from the VT location to the fault. For relay location 2, this certainly
includes the positive-sequence impedance of the transformer:
2
10 ( 13.8 kV )
Z T ( at 13.8 kV ) = ---------- × ---------------------------- = 0.127Ω ∠90°
100 150 MVA
(EQ 8.4)
13.8 2
Z L ( at 13.8 kV ) = 30.11 ×  ----------- = 0.05779Ω ∠85°
 315 

Thus, 0.127 Ω ∠90° + 0.05779 Ω ∠85° = 0.1847 Ω ∠88.4° primary side or 2.569 Ω ∠88.4° on the secondary side.
The above example illustrates how the relay maintains correct reach for fault behind power transformers. When installed at
X, the relay shall be set to 0.687 Ω ∠85° secondary in order to reach to the fault shown in the figure. When installed at H,
the relay shall be set to 2.569 Ω ∠88.4° to ensure exactly same coverage.

Figure 8–6: OFFSET IMPEDANCE AUGMENTATION


In order to ensure operation of the element under such circumstances the angle comparator uses a polarizing voltage aug-
mented by the negative-sequence current as per following equations:
Forward-looking element:
S_pol = – V_2 + I_2 × Z_offset × 1 ∠ECA
(EQ 8.5)
S_op = I_2 × 1 ∠ECA
Reverse-looking element:
S_pol = – V_2 + I_2 × Z_offset × 1 ∠ECA
(EQ 8.6)
S_op = – I_2 × 1 ∠ECA
Where ECA = forward ECA angle (maximum torque angle) and Z_offset = offset impedance. The effect of the augmentation
for forward and reverse fault is shown in the figures above. As long as the offset impedance is not higher than the negative-
sequence line impedance the element will ensure correct and fast fault direction identification for both forward and reverse
faults. The same principle applies to the neutral directional overcurrent element.

8.3.2 EXAMPLE

Consider relay input signals as in the Distance Elements Analysis section and assume an offset impedance of 4 Ω and
8 ECA and limit angles of 88° and 90°, respectively. The relay calculates the following negative-sequence quantities:
V_2 = 6.39 V ∠–159.6°; I_2 = 1.37 A ∠–68.1°; I_1 = 2.94 A ∠–144.2°
and the following signals for the directional unit of the negative-sequence directional overcurrent element:
• Forward-looking element: S_pol = 11.87 V ∠20.2°
S_op = 1.37 V ∠20.2°

• Reverse-looking element: S_pol = 11.87 V ∠20.2°


S_op = 1.37 V ∠– 160.0 °
After comparing the angles, a solid forward indication is given.
Assume further the pickup setting of 0.25 A for both forward and reverse directions, and the “Negative-sequence” mode
setting entered for the overcurrent unit of the element. The relay calculates the operating signal using the positive-
sequence restraint:

8.4 SERIES COMPENSATED LINES 8 THEORY OF OPERATION

8.4SERIES COMPENSATED LINES 8.4.1 DESCRIPTION

Faults on or in a close vicinity of series compensated lines may create problems for distance protection:
• Voltage and/or current inversion may lead to false direction discrimination by directional elements. This may potentially
include both a failure to operate on a forward in-zone fault as well as misoperation on a reverse fault. Both distance
and overcurrent directional elements can be affected.
• Series-capacitors and their overvoltage protection equipment (air gaps and/or Metal-Oxide Varistors) have a steady-
state overreaching effect on the apparent impedance seen by the relay - a forward fault may appear much closer to the
relay as compared with the actual fault location. The apparent impedance may be shifted towards the relay by as much
as the total reactance of the series capacitors placed between the potential source of the relay and the fault point. This
extreme steady-state overreach happens during low-current faults when the air-gaps do not flashover or the MOVs do
not conduct any significant current.
• In addition to the above steady-state overreach effect; sub-synchronous oscillations in both currents and voltages may
cause significant transient overreach.
Distance protection elements of the D30 deal with the problem of voltage inversion by using 100% memory polarized direc-
tional comparators. As the memory duration is set longer that the slowest fault clearing time for reverse faults, it is guaran-
teed that the distance element would not pick-up on reverse faults should the voltage inversion happen.
At the same time, it is guaranteed that the distance elements would pick-up for all forward faults regardless of any voltage
inversion as long as the memory voltage is used. Before the memory expires the relay would respond to any fault on the
protected line. Stepped distance backup zones operate after the memory voltage expires. But the backup protection
responds to distant faults that do not cause any inversion of the positive-sequence voltage. As a result, the time-delayed
stepped-distance zones are guaranteed to operate.
Distance protection elements of the D30 deal with the problem of current inversion by using a multi-input-comparator
approach as described in the Distance Characteristics subsection. Should the current inversion happen, the distance ele-
ments are secure on reverse faults because multiple conditions involving fault-loop, negative-sequence and zero-sequence
currents and the memory voltage are checked prior to declaring a forward fault.
On close-in forward faults beyond the series capacitors as seen from the relaying point, the current inversion phenomenon
may take place for a short period of time. The condition cannot sustain for a long time as very high fault currents would
occur causing large voltage drops across the series capacitors and prompting the overvoltage protection of the capacitors
to operate quickly. This would effectively remove the series compensation and eliminate the current inversion. However,
when the currents used by distance comparator (fault-loop current for ground and phase distance protection, and the nega-
tive- and zero-sequence currents for ground elements) stay shifted by more than 90 degrees from their natural fault position
determined by the user as the element characteristic angle, the distance elements may fail to pick-up on such a forward
fault for the brief period of current inversion. This is an inherent attribute of the 100% memory polarized mho element, and
not a weakness particular to the D30 relay.
Therefore, for dependability, it is recommended to use high-set phase overcurrent protection for direct tripping on close-in
faults potentially causing current inversion, and overreaching ground fault directional overcurrent functions (such as nega-
tive-sequence, ground or neutral) for communication-aided schemes.
The problem of steady-state overreaching due to the negative reactance of the series capacitors may be addressed in the
8 D30 in a traditional way by shortening the reach of an underreaching distance elements to the net inductive reactance of
the line between the potential source and the far end busbar(s). This generic approach has two major drawbacks. First, it
leaves large portion of the line uncovered by the directly tripping distance protection. Second, it does not solve the transient
overreaching problem caused by sub-synchronous oscillations.
Therefore, the D30 offers a unique option for dynamic reach control that is effectively based on the magnitude of the current
flowing through the series capacitor bank(s). The underreaching distance functions can be set as for plain uncompensated
line, i.e. using the impedance of the line alone, and the relay would control an effective reach accordingly using the current
magnitude as illustrated in the figure below.
The reach is reduced sufficiently to cope with both steady-state and transient overreach phenomena. For large degrees of
compensation and small-current faults, the transient overreach may be as high as 100%. This means that fast distance pro-
tection is not achievable. The adaptive D30's mechanism would guarantee security on external faults. Overreaching ground
fault directional overcurrent functions (such as negative-sequence, ground or neutral) shall be used for dependability.

Figure 8–7: DYNAMIC REACH CONTROL


Section (a) of the figure below shows the effect of adaptive reach control for low-current external fault. The reach is reduced
sufficiently to cope with both transient and steady-state overreach. Section (b) shows a high-current external fault. The air
gaps or MOVs conduct majority of the fault current and neither steady-state nor transient overreach takes place. The relay
does not reduce its reach as it is not necessary. Section (c) shows a high-current internal fault. Because of the large cur-
rent, the reach is not reduced and the element responds to this internal fault. Traditional approach would leave this fault out
of the relay reach.
The neutral and negative-sequence directional protection functions of the relay cope with the voltage and/or current inver-
sions by adding appropriate offset to their polarizing signals as explained in the Ground Directional Overcurrent section.
The offset impedance can always be successfully selected to guarantee correct fault direction discrimination regardless of

8.5FAULT LOCATOR 8.5.1 FAULT TYPE DETERMINATION

Fault type determination is required for calculation of fault location – the algorithm uses the angle between the negative and
positive sequence components of the relay currents. To improve accuracy and speed of operation, the fault components of
the currents are used; that is, the pre-fault phasors are subtracted from the measured current phasors. In addition to the
angle relationships, certain extra checks are performed on magnitudes of the negative and zero-sequence currents.
The single-ended fault location method assumes that the fault components of the currents supplied from the local (A) and
remote (B) systems are in phase. The figure below shows an equivalent system for fault location.

The following equations hold true for this equivalent system.
VA = m ⋅ Z ⋅ IA + RF ⋅ ( IA + IB ) (EQ 8.7)

where: m = sought pu distance to fault, Z = positive sequence impedance of the line.


The currents from the local and remote systems can be parted between their fault (F) and pre-fault load (pre) components:
I A = I AF + I Apre (EQ 8.8)

and neglecting shunt parameters of the line:


I B = I BF – I Apre (EQ 8.9)

Inserting the IA and IB equations into the VA equation and solving for the fault resistance yields:
VA – m ⋅ Z ⋅ IA
R F = ----------------------------------- (EQ 8.10)

Assuming the fault components of the currents, IAF and IBF are in phase, and observing that the fault resistance, as imped-
ance, does not have any imaginary part gives:
VA – m ⋅ Z ⋅ IA

where: Im() represents the imaginary part of a complex number. Solving the above equation for the unknown m creates the
following fault location algorithm:
Im ( V A ⋅ I AF∗ )
m = ---------------------------------------- (EQ 8.12)
Im ( Z ⋅ I A ⋅ I AF∗ )

where * denotes the complex conjugate and I AF = I A – I Apre .


Depending on the fault type, appropriate voltage and current signals are selected from the phase quantities before applying
the two equations above (the superscripts denote phases, the subscripts denote stations).

The element calculates the distance to the fault (with m in miles or kilometers) and the phases involved in the fault.
The relay allows locating faults from delta-connected VTs. If the FAULT REPORT 1 VT SUBSTITUTION setting is set to “None”,
and the VTs are connected in wye, the fault location is performed based on the actual phase to ground voltages. If the VTs
are connected in delta, fault location is suspended.
If the FAULT REPORT 1 VT SUBSTITUTION setting value is “V0” and the VTs are connected in a wye configuration, the fault
location is performed based on the actual phase to ground voltages. If the VTs are connected in a delta configuration, fault

9 APPLICATION OF SETTINGS 9.1 APPLICATION GUIDELINES

9 APPLICATION OF SETTINGS 9.1APPLICATION GUIDELINES 9.1.1 INTRODUCTION

This chapter provides general application guidelines for stepped distance, overcurrent and pilot protection. Where relevant,
design details and performance characteristics of the D30 are given to facilitate the process of setting the relay for a given
application.

9.1.2 IMPACT OF MEMORY POLARIZATION

As explained, the D30 uses a memorized positive sequence voltage as a polarizing signal in order to achieve dependable
operation for forward faults and secure non-operation for reverse faults.
The dynamic shift of the characteristic ensures improved directionality, but it also means that if a backup function is
required for a reverse fault on the bus, then it is appropriate to reverse Zone 3 so that a time delayed backup function may
be obtained. As mentioned earlier, it may be beneficial to also avoid extremely large reach settings by setting a remote
backup so that it is reverse looking. This strategy can be beneficial if the reduced reach enhances the discrimination
between the load and fault conditions.

9.1.3 HIGH SET OVERCURRENT ELEMENTS

Especially at low SIR values, fast fault clearance times may be seen as extremely important, both from system stability, and
from equipment damage viewpoints. The high-set overcurrent element, when set appropriately, can be extremely useful in
achieving these goals. It helps the setting calculations if the system impedances are reasonably well known.
The overcurrent pick up should be set to the greater of the following values:
1. The maximum infeed seen by the relay, for a close in reverse fault.
2. The maximum fault level seen by the relay for a fault at 100% of the protected line.
The maximum error of the phase overcurrent elements is below 2%. A safety factor of 1.25 should be used to account for
relay errors and system impedance uncertainty.
If CT saturation is an issue such as close to a generation where long lasting dc components are likely to saturate the CTs, it
should be noted that the instantaneous overcurrent elements require 1.33 cycle of data to operate for a multiple of pickup of
1.01. For higher multiples of pickup, the relation between the multiple of pickup and the amount of data required for opera-
tion before complete CT saturation is approximately linear. For example, for a multiple of pickup of 4, approximately 1.33 /
4 = 0.332 of power cycle is required by the phase instantaneous overcurrent element to operate. The above information
should not be confused with the operating time, which includes some inherent delays such as a trip rated output contact.

9.2 DISTANCE ELEMENTS (STEPPED DISTANCE SCHEME) 9 APPLICATION OF SETTINGS

9.2DISTANCE ELEMENTS (STEPPED DISTANCE SCHEME) 9.2.1 PHASE DISTANCE

a) PHASE CURRENT SUPERVISION AND THE FUSE FAILURE ELEMENT


The phase-to-phase (delta) current is used to supervise the phase distance elements, primarily to ensure that in a de-ener-
gized state the distance elements will not be picked up due to noise or induced voltages, on the line.
However, this supervision feature may also be employed to prevent operation under fuse failure conditions. This obviously
requires that the setting must be above maximum load current and less than the minimum fault conditions for which opera-
tion is expected. This potential problem may be avoided by the use of a separate fuse fail function, which means that the
phase current supervision can be set much lower, typically two times the capacitance charging current of the line.
The usage of the fuse fail function is also important during double-contingency events such as an external fault during fuse
fail conditions. The current supervision alone would not prevent maloperation in such circumstances.
It must be kept in mind that the fuse failure element provided on the D30 needs some time to detect fuse fail conditions.
This may create a race between the instantaneous zone 1 and the fuse failure element. Therefore, for maximum security, it
is recommended to both set the current supervision above the maximum load current and use the fuse failure function. The
current supervision prevents maloperation immediately after the fuse fail condition giving some time for the fuse failure ele-
ment to take over and block the distance elements permanently. This is of a secondary importance for time-delayed zones
2 and up as the fuse failure element has some extra time for guaranteed operation. The current supervision may be set
below the maximum load current for the time delayed zones.
Blocking distance elements during fuse fail conditions may not be acceptable in some applications and/or under some pro-
tection philosophies. Applied solutions may vary from not using the fuse failure element for blocking at all; through using it
and modifying – through FlexLogic and multiple setting groups mechanisms – other protection functions or other relays to
provide some protection after detecting fuse fail conditions and blocking the distance elements; to using it and accepting
the fact that the distance protection will not respond to subsequent internal faults until the problem is addressed.
To be fully operational, the Fuse Failure element must be enabled, and its output FlexLogic operand must be indi-
cated as the blocking signal for the selected protection elements.
NOTE
For convenience, the current supervision threshold incorporates the 3 factor.

b) PHASE DISTANCE ZONE 1


As typically used for direct tripping, the zone 1 reach must be chosen so that it does not extend beyond the far end(s) of the
protected line. Zone 1 provides nominally instantaneous protection for any phase fault within a pre-determined distance
from the relay location. To ensure that no overreach occurs, typically requires a setting of 80 to 90% of the line length,
which covers CT and VT errors, relay inaccuracy and transient overreach as well as uncertainty in the line impedance for
each phase, although transposition may minimize this latter concern.
The total relay inaccuracy including both steady state and transient overreach even when supplied from CVTs under the
source impedance ratios of up to 30, is below 5%.

c) PHASE DISTANCE ZONE 2


Zone 2 is an overreaching element, which essentially covers the final 10 to 20% whole of the line length with a time delay.
The additional function for the zone 2 is as a timed backup for faults on the remote bus. Typically the reach is set to 125%
of the positive-sequence impedance of the line, to ensure operation, with an adequate margin, for a fault at 100% of the line
length. The necessary time delay must ensure that coordination is achieved with the clearance of a close-in fault on the
next line section, including the breaker operating time.
The zone 2 time delay is typically set from 0.2 to 0.6 seconds, although this may have to be reviewed more carefully if a
short line terminates on the remote bus, since the two zone 2 elements may overlap and therefore not coordinate in a sat-
isfactory manner.
9 d) PHASE DISTANCE ZONE 3
If a remote backup philosophy is followed, then the reach of this element must be set to account for any infeed at the
remote bus, plus the impedance of the longest line which terminates on this remote bus. The time delay must coordinate
with other time-delayed protections on any remote line. Circuit loading limitations created by a long zone reach may be
overcome by using lens or quadrilateral characteristics and/or a load encroachment supervising characteristic. Consider-

9-2 D30 Line Distance Protection System GE Multilin


9 APPLICATION OF SETTINGS 9.2 DISTANCE ELEMENTS (STEPPED DISTANCE SCHEME)

ation should also be given to a situation where the load impedance may enter into the relay characteristic for a time longer
than the chosen time delay, which could occur transiently during a system power swing. For this reason the power swing
blocking function should be used.

e) PHASE DISTANCE ZONE 4


A further contribution to remote backup, the reach of this element must be set to account for any infeed at the remote bus.
The time delay must coordinate with other time-delayed protections on the next line. The use of a lens characteristic or the
load encroachment element may be advantageous if load limits are a problem.
To avoid extremely large reach settings, the D30 has the ability to implement any element so that it is reverse looking,
which then can provide a back up for the longest line terminated on the local bus. This strategy can be beneficial if the
reduced reach helps discrimination between the load and fault conditions, but must be implemented at both ends of the
protected line.

f) PHASE DISTANCE ZONE 5


An additional fifth phase distance zone can be used in special applications. This zone may be start zone for arming tripping
from all other zones, in both forward and reverse directions of the of protected line. This zone may also be used as an addi-
tional reverse-looking zone for implementation of two reverse-looking zones, thus providing two zone backup reverse-look-
ing protection. The fifth distance zone can be used as an alarm zone, indicating that load impedance is approaching the
zone characteristic.

9.2.2 GROUND DISTANCE

a) NEUTRAL CURRENT SUPERVISION


The current supervision for the ground distance elements responds to an internally calculated neutral current (3 × I_0). The
setting for this element should be based on twice the zero-sequence line capacitance current or the maximum zero-
sequence unbalance under maximum load conditions. This element should not be used to prevent an output when the load
impedance is inside the distance characteristic on a steady state basis.

b) POLARIZING CURRENT AND NON-HOMOGENEITY CORRECTION ANGLE OF THE QUAD CHARACTERISTIC


An ideal reactance line for single-line-to-ground faults is polarized from the fault current flowing through the fault resistance.
Such a line defines constant reach and could be implemented by the following angle comparator:
I × Z – V vs. j × I F (EQ 9.1)

The relay could only approximate the unknown fault current by the zero-sequence or the negative-sequence currents mea-
sured at the relaying point. Depending on system parameters, either the zero-sequence or the negative-sequence current
presents better approximation of the fault current angle.
Given the equivalent systems shown in the figure below, the angular difference between the zero-sequence or negative-
sequence currents at the relay, and the fault current can be calculated as follows:
IF Z 0A + Z 0L + Z 0B
Θ 0 = angle  ---------------------- = angle  ------------------------------------------- (EQ 9.2)

Figure 9–1: UNDERSTANDING SYSTEM HOMOGENEITY


If abs ( Θ 0 ) < abs ( Θ 2 ) , the zero-sequence network is more homogenous (the zero-sequence current better approximates
the fault current), and zero-sequence polarizing should be selected. Otherwise, negative-sequence is a better polarizing
signal.
The calculated Θ angles reflect errors between the ideal and applied polarizing angles. Therefore, after selecting the polar-
izing current, the corresponding angle should be chosen as the non-homogeneity correction angle. For example, calcula-
tions yielding Θ0 = 5° and Θ2 = –1° should result in selecting the negative-sequence for polarization, and the value of –1°
for non-homogeneity correction.
Quite often the non-homogeneity correction angle is used to apply extra security rather than correct the angle between the
relay and the fault currents. For extra security the angle should be set to negative values.
Ability to select an optimum polarizing signal and to correct for non-homogeneity should be approached with care. The best
polarizing signal and the correcting angle both depend on system parameters and intended reach of the zone. If the system
configuration is static, the selection is straightforward.
However, if the system configuration may change significantly, all the relevant system topologies shall be considered for
calculations. Either a compromise choice is made, or different settings are applied via switchable setting groups depending
on system conditions. In highly non-homogenous and dynamic systems where the correction for non-homogeneity is not
feasible, conservative reach (reduced) and/or correction angle (negative) settings should be considered.

c) GROUND DISTANCE ZONE 1


The zone 1 reach must be set so that nominally instantaneous operation does not extend beyond the end of the protected
line. However this may be somewhat more complicated than for the phase elements, because of zero sequence mutual
induction with an adjacent parallel line, possibly carried on the same tower, which can be out of service and grounded at
multiple points. A fault beyond 100% of the protected line may cause overreach unless the reach is reduced significantly,
sometimes as low as 65% of the line length. If the line being protected does not have a significant interaction with an adja-
cent circuit, then the typical 80% setting may be used. If there is significant mutual coupling between the parallel lines, then
9 the mutual compensation feature of the ground distance elements can be used instead of a drastic reduction in the reach.
However, even in this case, there is more uncertainty as compared with the phase distance elements because the zero-
sequence impedance of the line and thus the zero-sequence-compensating factors may vary significantly due to weather
and other conditions.

9 APPLICATION OF SETTINGS 9.2 DISTANCE ELEMENTS (STEPPED DISTANCE SCHEME)

d) GROUND DISTANCE ZONE 2


To ensure that the zone 2 can see 100% of the line, inter-circuit mutual effects must be considered, as they can contribute
to a significant under-reach. Typically this may occur on double circuit lines, when both lines may carry the same current.
An analytical study should be carried out to determine the appropriate reach setting.
The main purpose of this element is to operate for faults beyond the reach of the local zone 1 element, and therefore a time
delay must be used similar to the phase fault case.

e) GROUND DISTANCE ZONE 3


This remote back up function must have a reach which is set to account for any infeed at the remote bus, plus the imped-
ance of the longest line which terminates on this remote bus. Similar to the phase fault case, a zone 3 element must be
time coordinated with timed clearances on the next section.

f) GROUND DISTANCE ZONE 4


As a further contribution to a remote backup philosophy, the reach of this element must be set to account for any infeed at
the remote bus. The time delay must coordinate with other time-delayed protections on the next line. The use of a lens
characteristic or load encroachment element may be advantageous if load limits are a problem. To avoid extremely large
reach settings the D30 has the ability to implement any element, so that it is reverse looking. This strategy can be beneficial
if the reduced reach enhances the discrimination between the load and fault conditions. It should be recognized however
that, if adopted, this approach must be implemented at both ends of the protected line.

g) GROUND DISTANCE ZONE 5


An additional fifth ground distance zone can be used in special applications. This zone may be start zone for arming trip-
ping from all other zones, in both forward and reverse directions of the of protected line. This zone may also be used as an
additional reverse-looking zone for implementation of two reverse-looking zones, thus providing two zone backup reverse-
looking protection. The fifth distance zone can be used as an alarm zone, indicating that load impedance is approaching
the zone characteristic.

9.3 SERIES COMPENSATED LINES 9 APPLICATION OF SETTINGS

9.3SERIES COMPENSATED LINES 9.3.1 INTRODUCTION

For reasons described in Chapter 8: Theory of Operation, it is recommended to apply a combination of distance, ground
directional overcurrent and high-set overcurrent functions for protection of series compensated lines.
The setting rules described below must take into account variety of system configurations, particularly a status of series
capacitors (in-service, by-passed). Either the worst-case topology shall be considered or - if possible - adaptive settings
shall be applied though the multiple settings groups mechanism.
A line compensating capacitor is a bank of three physical capacitors and their overvoltage protecting devices (air gaps and/
or MOVs). If none of the MOV/gaps conducts any significant current, the positive-, negative- and zero-sequence reactance
of the three-phase bank equal the reactance of the actual (phase) capacitors. Under asymmetrical conditions, however,
such as a single line to ground fault, when only one MOV/gap may operate, the series capacitor bank would create extra
(series) asymmetry in addition to the fault (shunt) asymmetry. The positive-, negative- and zero-sequence impedances will
differ from each other and will not equal the impedance of the phase capacitors. Moreover, there may be mutual coupling
between the sequence networks representing the series capacitor bank. This makes analytical analysis of fault conditions
very burdensome. For setting calculations, however, it is justified to assume the zero-, positive-, and negative-sequence
reactance of the capacitor bank equal the reactance of the actual (phase) capacitors. This represents a worst-case low-cur-
rent fault scenario, when the steady-state effects of series compensation are most weighty.

9.3.2 DISTANCE

Traditionally, the reach setting of an underreaching distance function shall be set based on the net inductive impedance
between the potential source of the relay and the far-end busbar, or location for which the zone must not overreach. Faults
behind series capacitors on the protected and adjacent lines need to be considered for this purpose. For further illustration
a sample system shown in the figure below is considered.

Figure 9–2: SAMPLE SERIES COMPENSATED SYSTEM
Assuming 20% security margin, the underreaching zone shall be set as follows.
At the Sending Bus, one must consider an external fault at F1 as the 5 Ω capacitor would contribute to the overreaching
effect. Any fault behind F1 is less severe as extra inductive line impedance increases the apparent impedance:
Reach Setting: 0.8 x (10 – 3 – 5) = 1.6 Ω if the line-side (B) VTs are used
Reach Setting: 0.8 x (10 – 4 – 3 – 5) = –1.6 Ω if the bus-side (A) VTs are used
The negative value means that an underreaching zone cannot be used as the circuit between the potential source of the
relay and an external fault for which the relay must not pick-up, is overcompensated, i.e. capacitive.
At the Receiving Bus, one must consider a fault at F2:

9 Reach Setting: 0.8 x (10 – 4 – 2) = 3.2 Ω if the line-side (B) VTs are used
Reach Setting: 0.8 x (10 – 4 – 3 – 2) = 0.8 Ω if the bus-side (A) VTs are used
Practically, however, to cope with the effect of sub-synchronous oscillations, one may need to reduce the reach even more.
As the characteristics of sub-synchronous oscillations are in complex relations with fault and system parameters, no solid
setting recommendations are given with respect to extra security margin for sub-synchronous oscillations. It is strongly rec-
ommended to use a power system simulator to verify the reach settings or to use an adaptive D30 feature for dynamic
reach control.
If the adaptive reach control feature is used, the PHS DIST Z1 VOLT LEVEL setting shall be set accordingly.

9-6 D30 Line Distance Protection System GE Multilin


9 APPLICATION OF SETTINGS 9.3 SERIES COMPENSATED LINES

This setting is a sum of the overvoltage protection levels for all the series capacitors located between the relay potential
source and the far-end busbar, or location for which the zone must not overreach. The setting is entered in pu of the phase
VT nominal voltage (RMS, not peak value).
If a minimum fault current level (phase current) is causing a voltage drop across a given capacitor that prompts its air gap to
flash over or its MOV to carry practically all the current, then the series capacitor shall be excluded from the calculations
(the capacitor is immediately by-passed by its overvoltage protection system and does not cause any overreach problems).
If a minimum fault current does not guarantee an immediate capacitor by-pass, then the capacitor must be included in the
calculation: its overvoltage protection level, either air gap flash-over voltage or MOV knee-point voltage, shall be used
(RMS, not peak value).
Assuming none of the series capacitors in the sample system is guaranteed to get by-passed, the following calculations
apply:
For the Sending Bus: 0.5 + 0.7 = 1.2 pu if the line-side (B) VTs are used
0.6 + 0.5 + 0.7 = 1.8 pu if the bus-side (A) VTs are used
For the Receiving Bus: 0.6 + 0.5 = 1.1 pu if the line-side (B) VTs are used
0.6 + 0.5 + 0.5 = 1.6 pu if the bus-side (A) VTs are used

9.3.3 GROUND DIRECTIONAL OVERCURRENT

Ground directional overcurrent function (negative-sequence or neutral) uses an offset impedance to guarantee correct fault
direction discrimination. The following setting rules apply.
1. If the net impedance between the potential source and the local equivalent system is inductive, then there is no need
for an offset. Otherwise, the offset impedance shall be at least the net capacitive reactance.
2. The offset cannot be higher than the net inductive reactance between the potential source and the remote equivalent
system. For simplicity and extra security, the far-end busbar may be used rather than the remote equivalent system.
As the ground directional functions are meant to provide maximum fault resistance coverage, it is justified to assume that
the fault current is very low and none of the series capacitors is guaranteed to get by-passed. Consider settings of the neg-
ative-sequence directional overcurrent protection element for the Sample Series Compensated System.
For the Sending Bus relay, bus-side VTs:
• Net inductive reactance from the relay into the local system = –2 + 3 = 1 Ω > 0; there is no need for offset.
• Net inductive reactance from relay through far-end busbar = –4 + 10 – 3 = 3 Ω; the offset cannot be higher than 3 Ω.
• It is recommended to use 1.5 Ω offset impedance.
For the Sending Bus relay, line-side VTs:
• Net inductive reactance from relay into local system = –2 + 3 – 4 = –3 Ω < 0; an offset impedance ≥3 Ω must be used.
• Net inductive reactance from relay through far-end busbar = 10 – 3 = 7 Ω; the offset cannot be higher than 7 Ω.
• It is recommended to use 5 Ω offset impedance.
For the Receiving Bus relay, bus-side VTs:
• Net inductive reactance from relay into local system = –5 + 7 = 2 Ω > 0; there is no need for offset.
• Net inductive reactance from relay through far-end busbar = –3 + 10 – 4 = 3 Ω; the offset cannot be higher than 3 Ω.
• It is recommended to use 1.5 Ω offset impedance.
For the Receiving Bus relay, line-side VTs:
• Net inductive reactance from relay into local system = –3 – 5 + 7 = –1 Ω < 0; an offset impedance ≥1 Ω must be used. 9
• Net inductive reactance from relay through far-end busbar = 10 – 4 = 6 Ω; the offset cannot be higher than 6 Ω.
• It is recommended to use 3.5 Ω offset impedance.

guarantees accurate reach and targeting for any phase fault. Moreover, the current and voltage transformers may be
located independently on different sides of the transformer.
The following setting rules apply to this feature:
1. A given distance zone is terminated by location of the VTs, not the CTs.
2. Consequently, the positive-sequence impedance of a transformer must be included in the reach setting only if the
transformer is located between the potential source and the intended reach point.
3. The current signals require compensation if the transformer is located between the CTs and the intended reach point.
If this is the case the CT connection setting shall be set to transformer connection and vector group as seen from the
CTs toward the reach point. Otherwise, the CT connection setting shall be set to "None".
4. The voltage signals require compensation if the transformer is located between the VTs and the intended reach point.
If this is the case the VT connection setting shall be set to transformer connection and vector group as seen from the
VTs toward the reach point. Otherwise, the VT connection setting shall be set to "None".
5. The reach setting is entered in secondary ohms and as such must take into account location and ratios of VTs and CTs
as well as voltage ratio of the involved power transformer.
The following equations explain the setting rules. Consider two applications as shown in the figure below:

9 APPLICATION OF SETTINGS 9.4 PHASE DISTANCE THROUGH POWER TRANSFORMERS

b) ZONE 1 SETTING IN APPLICATION (A)


As the transformer is located between the potential source and the reach point for Zone 1, the reach impedance must
include the positive-sequence impedance of the transformer. In addition, the primary impedance must be re-calculated for
the voltage level of the VTs and CTs, and eventually, re-calculated to secondary quantities:
V H 2 n CT
Z 1 = ( Z T ( at X ) + Z x ) ×  ------- × --------- (EQ 9.4)
 V X n VT

c) ZONE 3 SETTING IN APPLICATION (A)


As the transformer is not located between the potential source and the reach point for Zone 3, the reach impedance must
not include the positive-sequence impedance of the transformer. Because both VTs and CTs are located on the same side
as the intended reach point, no correction for the transformer ratio is required. The primary impedance must be only re-cal-
culated to secondary quantities:
n CT
Z 3 = Z H × --------- (EQ 9.5)
n VT

d) ZONE 1 SETTING IN APPLICATION (B)


As the transformer is not located between the potential source and the reach point for Z1, the reach impedance must not
include the positive-sequence impedance of the transformer. The CTs are located on the other side of the transformer, thus
transformer ratio must be included:
VH n CT
Z 1 = Z X ×  ------- × --------- (EQ 9.6)
VX n VT

e) ZONE 3 SETTING IN APPLICATION (B)


As the transformer is located between the potential source and the reach point for Zone 3, the reach impedance must
include the positive-sequence impedance of the transformer. The VTs are located on the other side of the transformer, thus
transformer ratio must be included:
VX n CT
Z 3 = ( Z T ( at H ) + Z H ) ×  ------- × --------- (EQ 9.7)
VH n VT

9.4.2 EXAMPLE

Given the following for the system shown in the previous section:
ZX = 30 Ω ∠85° (intended reach of Zone 1)
ZH = 0.06 Ω ∠88° (intended reach of Zone 3)
nCT = 8000:5 = 1600 (located at H)
nVT = 315000:120 = 2625 (located at X)

10 MAINTENANCE 10.1 MODULES 10.1.1 REPLACE A MODULE

Withdraw or insert a module only when control power has been removed from the unit, and
WARNING be sure to insert only the correct module type into a slot, else personal injury, damage to the
unit or connected equipment, or undesired operation can result.
To avoid damage to the equipment, use proper electrostatic discharge protection (for example, a
NOTICE static strap) when coming in contact with modules while the relay is energized.

The relay, being modular in design, allows for the withdrawal and insertion of modules. Modules must only be replaced with
like modules in their original factory configured slots.
The enhanced faceplate can be opened to the left, once the thumb screw has been removed, as shown below. This allows
for easy accessibility of the modules for withdrawal. The new wide-angle hinge assembly in the enhanced front panel opens
completely and allows easy access to all modules in the D30.

The standard faceplate can be opened to the left, once the sliding latch on the right side has been pushed up, as shown
below. This allows for easy accessibility of the modules for withdrawal.

10.1 MODULES 10 MAINTENANCE

To properly remove a module, the ejector/inserter clips, located at the top and bottom of each module, must be pulled
simultaneously. Before performing this action, control power must be removed from the relay. Record the original loca-
tion of the module to ensure that the same or replacement module is inserted into the correct slot. While modules with cur-
rent input provide automatic shorting of external CT circuits, for CT/VT modules it is recommended to short/isolate external
circuits accordingly for maximum safety.
To properly insert a module, ensure that the correct module type is inserted into the correct slot position. The ejector/
inserter clips located at the top and at the bottom of each module must be in the disengaged position as the module is
smoothly inserted into the slot. Once the clips have cleared the raised edge of the chassis, engage the clips simultaneously.
When the clips have locked into position, the module will be fully inserted.
CPU connections must be individually disconnected from the module before the module can be removed from the
chassis.
NOTE

The new CT/VT modules can only be used with new CPUs; similarly, old CT/VT modules can only be used with old
CPUs. In the event that there is a mismatch between the CPU and CT/VT module, the relay does not function and
NOTE a DSP ERROR or HARDWARE MISMATCH error displays.

APPENDIX B B.1 MODBUS RTU PROTOCOL

APPENDIX B MODBUS COMMUNICATIONSB.1MODBUS RTU PROTOCOL B.1.1 INTRODUCTION

The UR series supports several communications protocols to allow connection to equipment such as personal computers,
remote terminal units (RTUs), supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) masters, and programmable logic control-
lers. The Modicon Modbus protocol is the most basic protocol supported by the UR. Modbus RTU is available via the
RS232 and RS485 serial links, and Modbus TCP/IP is available over Ethernet. The following description is intended primar-
ily for users who want to develop their own master communication drivers. Note that:
• The UR always acts as a slave device, meaning that it never initiates communications. It listens and responds to B
requests issued by a master computer.
• A subset of Modbus RTU and Modbus TCP/IP protocol format is supported that allows extensive monitoring, program-
ming, and control functions using read and write register commands.

B.1.2 PHYSICAL LAYER

Each data byte is transmitted in an asynchronous format consisting of 1 start bit, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and possibly 1 parity
bit. This produces a 10 or 11 bit data frame. This can be important for transmission through modems at high bit rates (11 bit
data frames are not supported by many modems at baud rates greater than 300).
The faceplate RS232 port is intended for local use and is fixed at 19200 bit/s baud and even parity. The rear terminal
RS485 port can be set for baud rates of 300, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 14400, 19200, 28800, 33600, 38400, 57600, or
115200 bps, and even, odd, and no parity options are available. See the Communications section of chapter 5 for details.
The Modbus TCP/IP protocol is available on each of the rear Ethernet ports. These ports are 100Base-FX.

B.1.3 DATA LINK LAYER

Modbus RTU communications takes place in packets that are groups of asynchronously framed byte data. The master
transmits a packet to the slave and the slave responds with a packet. The following information describes the general for-
mat for both transmit and receive packets. For details on packet formatting, see subsequent sections describing each func-
tion code.

Table B–1: MODBUS RTU PACKET FORMAT


DESCRIPTION SIZE
SLAVE ADDRESS 1 byte
FUNCTION CODE 1 byte
DATA N bytes
CRC 2 bytes
DEAD TIME 3.5 bytes transmission time

• SLAVE ADDRESS: This is the address of the slave device that is intended to receive the packet sent by the master
and to perform the desired action. Each slave device on a communications bus must have a unique address to prevent
bus contention. All of the relay’s ports have the same address which is programmable from 1 to 254; see chapter 5 for
details. Only the addressed slave will respond to a packet that starts with its address. Note that the faceplate port is an
exception to this rule; it will act on a message containing any slave address.
A master transmit packet with slave address 0 indicates a broadcast command. All slaves on the communication link
take action based on the packet, but none respond to the master.
• FUNCTION CODE: This is one of the supported functions codes of the unit which tells the slave what action to per-
form. See the Supported Function Codes section for details. An exception response from the slave is indicated by set-
ting the high order bit of the function code in the response packet. See the Exception Responses section for details.
• DATA: This will be a variable number of bytes depending on the function code. This may include actual values, set-
tings, or addresses sent by the master to the slave or by the slave to the master.
• CRC: This is a two byte error checking code. The RTU version of Modbus includes a 16-bit cyclic redundancy check
(CRC-16) with every packet which is an industry standard method used for error detection. If a Modbus slave device
receives a packet in which an error is indicated by the CRC, the slave device does not act upon or respond to the

GE Multilin D30 Line Distance Protection System B-1


B.1 MODBUS RTU PROTOCOL APPENDIX B

packet thus preventing any erroneous operations. See the CRC-16 Algorithm section for details on calculating the
CRC.
• DEAD TIME: A packet is terminated when no data is received for a period of 3.5 byte transmission times (about 15 ms
at 2400 bps, 2 ms at 19200 bps, and 300 µs at 115200 bps). Consequently, the transmitting device must not allow gaps
between bytes longer than this interval. Once the dead time has expired without a new byte transmission, all slaves
start listening for a new packet from the master except for the addressed slave.
Modbus-TCP/IP communications takes place in application data units (ADUs), which are wrapped in the TCP/IP/Ethernet
B protocols. Ethernet provides Layer 2 addressing and CRC-32 error checking. IP provides Layer 3 addressing. TCP pro-
vides communication establishment and ending and manages data flow. The Parallel Redundancy Protocol (PRP) can also
be used to provide seamless data flow in case of a single failure in the network, by using a combination of LAN duplication
and frame duplication. See chapter 5 in the instruction manual for information on setting up TCP for Modbus (in the Modbus
section), IP and PRP (Network section).
The ADU is described as follows.

MBAP header: This Modbus Application Protocol header contains the following fields:
• Transaction Identifier: Used for transaction pairing. The Modbus server copies in the response the transaction identifier
of the request.
• Protocol Identifier: Used for intra-system multiplexing. The Modbus protocol is identified by the value 0.
• Length: The length field is a byte count of the following fields, including the Unit Identifier and data fields.
– Unit Identifier: For the purposes of the UR, this field is equivalent to the Modbus RTU SLAVE ADDRESS
field. The client must use the same value here as programmed in the UR setting MODBUS SLAVE ADDRESS.
FUNCTION CODE: This is the same as the Modbus RTU function code field described above.
DATA: This is the same as the Modbus RTU data field described above.

B.1.4 MODBUS RTU CRC-16 ALGORITHM

The Modbus TPC/IP CRC-32 algorithm is universally executed in hardware, so there is no need to describe it here.
The Modbus RTU CRC-16 algorithm essentially treats the entire data stream (data bits only; start, stop and parity ignored)
as one continuous binary number. This number is first shifted left 16 bits and then divided by a characteristic polynomial
(11000000000000101b). The 16-bit remainder of the division is appended to the end of the packet, MSByte first. The result-
ing packet including CRC, when divided by the same polynomial at the receiver will give a zero remainder if no transmis-
sion errors have occurred. This algorithm requires the characteristic polynomial to be reverse bit ordered. The most
significant bit of the characteristic polynomial is dropped, since it does not affect the value of the remainder.
A C programming language implementation of the CRC algorithm will be provided upon request.

B.2 MODBUS FUNCTION CODES APPENDIX B

B.2MODBUS FUNCTION CODES B.2.1 SUPPORTED FUNCTION CODES

Modbus officially defines function codes from 1 to 127 though only a small subset is generally needed. The relay supports
some of these functions, as summarized in the following table. Subsequent sections describe each function code in detail.

FUNCTION CODE MODBUS DEFINITION GE MULTILIN DEFINITION

B HEX
03
DEC
3 Read holding registers Read actual values or settings
04 4 Read holding registers Read actual values or settings
05 5 Force single coil Execute operation
06 6 Preset single register Store single setting
10 16 Preset multiple registers Store multiple settings

B.2.2 READ ACTUAL VALUES OR SETTINGS (FUNCTION CODE 03/04H)

This function code allows the master to read one or more consecutive data registers (actual values or settings) from a relay.
The maximum number of registers that can be read in a single packet is 125. See the Modbus memory map table for exact
details on the data registers.
Since some PLC implementations of Modbus only support one of function codes 03h and 04h. The UR interpretation allows
either function code to be used for reading one or more consecutive data registers. The data starting address will determine
the type of data being read. Function codes 03h and 04h are therefore identical.
The following table shows the format of the master and slave packetsin Modbus RTU. Modbus TCP/IP ADUs have a MBAP
instead of slave address, and CRC is in another stack layer. The example shows a master device requesting three register
values starting at address 4050h from slave device 11h (17 decimal); the slave device responds with the values 40, 300,
and 0 from registers 4050h, 4051h, and 4052h, respectively.

MBAP instead of slave address, and CRC is in another stack layer. The example shows a master device requesting the
slave device 11h (17 decimal) to perform a reset. The high and low code value bytes always have the values “FF” and “00”
respectively and are a remnant of the original Modbus definition of this function code. B

B.2.4 STORE SINGLE SETTING (FUNCTION CODE 06H)

This function code allows the master to modify the contents of a single setting register in an relay. Setting registers are
always 16 bit (two byte) values transmitted high order byte first. The following table shows the format of the master and
slave packets in Modbus RTU. Modbus TCP/IP ADUs have a MBAP instead of slave address, and CRC is in another stack
layer. The example shows a master device storing the value 200 at memory map address 4051h to slave device 11h (17
dec).

B.2.5 STORE MULTIPLE SETTINGS (FUNCTION CODE 10H)

This function code allows the master to modify the contents of a one or more consecutive setting registers in a relay. Setting
registers are 16-bit (two byte) values transmitted high order byte first. The maximum number of setting registers that can be
stored in a single packet is 123. The following table shows the format of the master and slave packets in Modbus RTU.
Modbus TCP/IP ADUs have a MBAP instead of slave address, and CRC is in another stack layer. The example shows a

B.2.6 EXCEPTION RESPONSES

Programming or operation errors usually happen because of illegal data in a packet. These errors result in an exception
response from the slave. The slave detecting one of these errors sends a response packet to the master with the high order
bit of the function code set to 1.
The following table shows the format of the master and slave packets in Modbus RTU. Modbus TCP/IP ADUs have a
MBAP instead of slave address, and CRC is in another stack layer. The example shows a master device sending the
unsupported function code 39h to slave device 11h.

APPENDIX B B.3 FILE TRANSFERS

B.3FILE TRANSFERS B.3.1 OBTAINING RELAY FILES VIA MODBUS

a) DESCRIPTION
The UR relay has a generic file transfer facility, meaning that you use the same method to obtain all of the different types of
files from the unit. The Modbus registers that implement file transfer are found in the "Modbus File Transfer (Read/Write)"
and "Modbus File Transfer (Read Only)" modules, starting at address 3100h in the Modbus Memory Map. To read a file
from the UR relay, use the following steps:
1. Write the filename to the "Name of file to read" register using a write multiple registers command. If the name is shorter B
than 80 characters, you may write only enough registers to include all the text of the filename. Filenames are not case
sensitive.
2. Repeatedly read all the registers in "Modbus File Transfer (Read Only)" using a read multiple registers command. It is
not necessary to read the entire data block, since the UR relay will remember which was the last register you read. The
"position" register is initially zero and thereafter indicates how many bytes (2 times the number of registers) you have
read so far. The "size of..." register indicates the number of bytes of data remaining to read, to a maximum of 244.
3. Keep reading until the "size of..." register is smaller than the number of bytes you are transferring. This condition indi-
cates end of file. Discard any bytes you have read beyond the indicated block size.
4. If you need to re-try a block, read only the "size of.." and "block of data", without reading the position. The file pointer is
only incremented when you read the position register, so the same data block will be returned as was read in the pre-
vious operation. On the next read, check to see if the position is where you expect it to be, and discard the previous
block if it is not (this condition would indicate that the UR relay did not process your original read request).
The UR relay retains connection-specific file transfer information, so files may be read simultaneously on multiple Modbus
connections.

b) OTHER PROTOCOLS
All the files available via Modbus may also be retrieved using the standard file transfer mechanisms in other protocols (for
example, TFTP or MMS).

c) COMTRADE, OSCILLOGRAPHY, AND DATA LOGGER FILES


Oscillography and data logger files are formatted using the COMTRADE file format per IEEE C37.111-1999 Standard Com-
mon Format for Transient Data Exchange (COMTRADE) for Power Systems. The files can be obtained in either text or
binary COMTRADE format.

d) READING OSCILLOGRAPHY FILES


Familiarity with the oscillography feature is required to understand the following description. See the Oscillography section
in chapter 5 for details.
The "Oscillography Number of Triggers" register increments by one every time a new oscillography file is triggered (cap-
tured) and cleared to zero when oscillography data is cleared. When a new trigger occurs, the associated oscillography file
is assigned a file identifier number equal to the incremented value of this register; the newest file number is equal to the
"Oscillography Number of Triggers" register. This register can be used to determine if any new data has been captured by
periodically reading it to see if the value has changed; if the number has increased then new data is available.
The "Oscillography Number of Records" register specifies the maximum number of files (and the number of cycles of data
per file) that can be stored in memory of the relay. The "Oscillography Available Records" register specifies the actual num-
ber of files that are stored and still available to be read out of the relay.
Writing “Yes” (that is, the value 1) to the "Oscillography Clear Data" register clears oscillography data files, clears both the
"Oscillography Number of Triggers" and "Oscillography Available Records" registers to zero, and sets the "Oscillography
Last Cleared Date" to the present date and time.
To read binary COMTRADE oscillography files, read the following filenames:
OSCnnnn.CFG and OSCnnn.DAT
Replace “nnn” with the desired oscillography trigger number. For ASCII format, use the following file names
OSCAnnnn.CFG and OSCAnnn.DAT

GE Multilin D30 Line Distance Protection System B-7


B.3 FILE TRANSFERS APPENDIX B

e) READING DATA LOGGER FILES


Familiarity with the data logger feature is required to understand this description. Refer to the Data Logger section of Chap-
ter 5 for details. To read the entire data logger in binary COMTRADE format, read the following files.
datalog.cfg and datalog.dat
To read the entire data logger in ASCII COMTRADE format, read the following files.
dataloga.cfg and dataloga.dat
B To limit the range of records to be returned in the COMTRADE files, append the following to the filename before writing it:
• To read from a specific time to the end of the log: <space> startTime
• To read a specific range of records: <space> startTime <space> endTime
• Replace <startTime> and <endTime> with the number of seconds since Jan. 1 1970 as numeric text

f) READING EVENT RECORDER FILES


To read the entire event recorder contents in ASCII format (the only available format), use the following filename:
EVT.TXT
To read from a specific record to the end of the log, use the following filename:
EVTnnn.TXT (replace nnn with the desired starting record number)
To read from a specific record to another specific record, use the following filename:
EVT.TXT xxxxx yyyyy (replace xxxxx with the starting record number and yyyyy with the ending record number)

g) READING FAULT REPORT FILES


Fault report data has been available via the D30 file retrieval mechanism since UR firmware version 2.00. The file name is
faultReport#####.htm. The ##### refers to the fault report record number. The fault report number is a counter that
indicates how many fault reports have ever occurred. The counter rolls over at a value of 65535. Only the last ten fault
reports are available for retrieval; a request for a non-existent fault report file will yield a null file. The current value fault
report counter is available in “Number of Fault Reports” Modbus register at location 0x3020.
For example, if 14 fault reports have occurred then the files faultReport5.htm, faultReport6.htm, up to
faultReport14.htm are available to be read. The expected use of this feature has an external master periodically poll-
ing the “Number of Fault Reports' register. If the value changes, then the master reads all the new files.
The contents of the file is in standard HTML notation and can be viewed via any commercial browser.

APPENDIX C C.1 OVERVIEW

APPENDIX C IEC 61850 COMMUNICATIONSC.1OVERVIEW C.1.1 INTRODUCTION

The IEC 61850 standard is the result of electric utilities and vendors of electronic equipment to produce standardized com-
munications systems. IEC 61850 is a series of standards describing client/server and peer-to-peer communications, sub-
station design and configuration, testing, environmental and project standards. The complete set includes:
• IEC 61850-1: Introduction and overview
• IEC 61850-2: Glossary
• IEC 61850-3: General requirements
• IEC 61850-4: System and project management
• IEC 61850-5: Communications and requirements for functions and device models


IEC 61850-6: Configuration description language for communication in electrical substations related to IEDs
IEC 61850-7-1: Basic communication structure for substation and feeder equipment - Principles and models
C
• IEC 61850-7-2: Basic communication structure for substation and feeder equipment - Abstract communication service
interface (ACSI)
• IEC 61850-7-3: Basic communication structure for substation and feeder equipment – Common data classes
• IEC 61850-7-4: Basic communication structure for substation and feeder equipment – Compatible logical node classes
and data classes
• IEC 61850-8-1: Specific Communication Service Mapping (SCSM) – Mappings to MMS (ISO 9506-1 and ISO 9506-2)
and to ISO/IEC 8802-3
• IEC 61850-9-1: Specific Communication Service Mapping (SCSM) – Sampled values over serial unidirectional multi-
drop point to point link
• IEC 61850-9-2: Specific Communication Service Mapping (SCSM) – Sampled values over ISO/IEC 8802-3
• IEC 61850-10: Conformance testing
These documents can be obtained from the IEC (http://www.iec.ch). It is strongly recommended that all those involved with
any IEC 61850 implementation obtain this document set.

C.1.2 COMMUNICATION PROFILES

IEC 61850 specifies the use of the Manufacturing Message Specification (MMS) at the upper (application) layer for transfer
of real-time data. This protocol has been in existence for several of years and provides a set of services suitable for the
transfer of data within a substation LAN environment. Actual MMS protocol services are mapped to IEC 61850 abstract ser-
vices in IEC 61850-8-1.
The D30 relay supports IEC 61850 server services over TCP/IP. The TCP/IP profile requires the D30 to have an IP address
to establish communications. These addresses are located in the SETTINGS  PRODUCT SETUP  COMMUNICATIONS 
NETWORK menu. It is possible to have up to five simultaneous connections (in addition to DNP and Modbus/TCP (non-IEC
61850) connections).
• Client/server: This is a connection-oriented type of communication. The connection is initiated by the client, and com-
munication activity is controlled by the client. IEC 61850 clients are often substation computers running HMI programs
or SOE logging software. Servers are usually substation equipment such as protection relays, meters, RTUs, trans-
former tap changers, or bay controllers.
• Peer-to-peer: This is a non-connection-oriented, high speed type of communication usually between substation equip-
ment such as protection relays. GSSE and GOOSE are methods of peer-to-peer communication.
• Substation configuration language (SCL): A substation configuration language is a number of files used to describe
the configuration of substation equipment. Each configured device has an IEC Capability Description (ICD) file. The
substation single line information is stored in a System Specification Description (SSD) file. The entire substation con-
figuration is stored in a Substation Configuration Description (SCD) file. The SCD file is the combination of the individ-
ual ICD files and the SSD file.

C.1.3 FILE TRANSFER BY IEC 61850

The D30 supports file transfer by IEC 61850. The approach is as follows, using the SISCO AX-S4 61850 client software as
an example.
1. In the AX-S4 61850 Explorer window, click the Tools menu and access the SISCO File Transfer Utility.
2. Select the Remote AR Name from the drop-down list. Available files appear in the File Specification area on the right
side of the window.
3. With the Copy option active, select a file to transfer and click the Go button. The file is copied and displays in the
Local list on the left side of the window.
4. Repeat the process to transfer any other files.

APPENDIX C C.2 SERVER DATA ORGANIZATION

C.2SERVER DATA ORGANIZATION C.2.1 OVERVIEW

IEC 61850 defines an object-oriented approach to data and services. An IEC 61850 physical device can contain one or
more logical device(s). Each logical device can contain many logical nodes. Each logical node can contain many data
objects. Each data object is composed of data attributes and data attribute components. Services are available at each
level for performing various functions, such as reading, writing, control commands, and reporting.
Each D30 IED represents one IEC 61850 physical device. The physical device contains one logical device, and the logical
device contains many logical nodes. The logical node LPHD1 contains information about the D30 IED physical device. The
logical node LLN0 contains information about the D30 IED logical device.

C.2.2 GGIO1: DIGITAL STATUS VALUES

The GGIO1 logical node is available in the D30 to provide access to as many 128 digital status points and associated time-
stamps and quality flags. The data content must be configured before the data can be used. GGIO1 provides digital status C
points for access by clients.
It is intended that clients use GGIO1 in order to access digital status values from the D30. Configuration settings are pro-
vided to allow the selection of the number of digital status indications available in GGIO1 (8 to 128), and to allow the choice
of the D30 FlexLogic operands that drive the status of the GGIO1 status indications. Clients can utilize the IEC 61850 buff-
ered and unbuffered reporting features available from GGIO1 in order to build sequence of events (SOE) logs and HMI dis-
play screens. Buffered reporting should generally be used for SOE logs since the buffering capability reduces the chances
of missing data state changes. Unbuffered reporting should generally be used for local status display.

C.2.3 GGIO2: DIGITAL CONTROL VALUES

The GGIO2 logical node is available to provide access to the D30 virtual inputs. Virtual inputs are single-point control
(binary) values that can be written by clients. They are generally used as control inputs. GGIO2 provides access to the vir-
tual inputs through the IEC 61850 standard control model (ctlModel) services:
• Status only.
• Direct control with normal security.
• SBO control with normal security.
Configuration settings are available to select the control model for each point. Each virtual input used through GGIO2
should have its VIRTUAL INPUT 1(64) FUNCTION setting programmed as “Enabled” and its corresponding GGIO2 CF SPSCO1(64)
CTLMODEL setting programmed to the appropriate control configuration.

C.2.4 GGIO3: DIGITAL STATUS AND ANALOG VALUES FROM GOOSE DATA

The GGIO3 logical node is available to provide access for clients to values received via configurable GOOSE messages.
The values of the digital status indications and analog values in GGIO3 originate in GOOSE messages sent from other
devices.

C.2.5 GGIO4: GENERIC ANALOG MEASURED VALUES

The GGIO4 logical node provides access to as many as 32 analog value points, as well as associated timestamps and
quality flags. The data content must be configured before the data can be used. GGIO4 provides analog values for access
by clients.
It is intended that clients use GGIO4 to access generic analog values from the D30. Configuration settings allow the selec-
tion of the number of analog values available in GGIO4 (4 to 32) and the choice of the FlexAnalog values that determine
the value of the GGIO4 analog inputs. Clients can utilize polling or the IEC 61850 unbuffered reporting feature available
from GGIO4 in order to obtain the analog values provided by GGIO4.

C.2 SERVER DATA ORGANIZATION APPENDIX C

C.2.6 MMXU: ANALOG MEASURED VALUES

A limited number of measured analog values are available through the MMXU logical nodes.
Each MMXU logical node provides data from a D30 current and voltage source. There is one MMXU available for each con-
figurable source (programmed in the SETTINGS  SYSTEM SETUP  SIGNAL SOURCES menu). MMXU1 provides data
from D30 source 1, and MMXU2 provides data from D30 source 2.
MMXU data is provided in two forms: instantaneous and deadband. The instantaneous values are updated every time a
read operation is performed by a client. The deadband values are calculated as described in IEC 61850 parts 7-1 and 7-3.
The selection of appropriate deadband settings for the D30 is described in chapter 5 of this manual.
IEC 61850 buffered and unbuffered reporting capability is available in all MMXU logical nodes. MMXUx logical nodes pro-
vide the following data for each source:

C •

MMXU1.MX.TotW: three-phase real power
MMXU1.MX.TotVAr: three-phase reactive power
• MMXU1.MX.TotVA: three-phase apparent power
• MMXU1.MX.TotPF: three-phase power factor

C.2.7 PROTECTION AND OTHER LOGICAL NODES

The following list describes the protection elements for all UR-series relays. The D30 relay will contain a subset of protec-
tion elements from this list.
• PDIF: bus differential, transformer instantaneous differential, transformer percent differential, current differential

C-4 D30 Line Distance Protection System GE Multilin


APPENDIX C C.2 SERVER DATA ORGANIZATION

• PDIS: phase distance, ground distance


• PIOC: phase instantaneous overcurrent, neutral instantaneous overcurrent, ground instantaneous overcurrent, nega-
tive-sequence instantaneous overcurrent.
• PTOC: phase time overcurrent, neutral time overcurrent, ground time overcurrent, negative-sequence time overcur-
rent, neutral directional overcurrent, negative-sequence directional overcurrent
• PTUV: phase undervoltage, auxiliary undervoltage, third harmonic neutral undervoltage
• PTOV: phase overvoltage, neutral overvoltage, auxiliary overvoltage, negative sequence overvoltage
• RBRF: breaker failure
• RREC: autoreclosure
• RPSB: power swing detection
• RFLO: fault locator C
• XCBR: breaker control
• XSWI: circuit switch
• CSWI: switch controller
The protection elements listed above contain start (pickup) and operate flags. For example, the start flag for PIOC1 is
PIOC1.ST.Str.general. The operate flag for PIOC1 is PIOC1.ST.Op.general. For the D30 protection elements, these flags
take their values from the pickup and operate FlexLogic operands for the corresponding element.
Some protection elements listed above contain directional start values. For example, the directional start value for PDIS1 is
PDIS1.ST.Str.dirGeneral. This value is built from the directional FlexLogic operands for the element.
The RFLO logical node contains the measurement of the distance to fault calculation in kilometers. This value originates in
the fault locator function.
The XCBR logical node is directly associated with the breaker control feature.
• XCBR1.ST.Loc: This is the state of the XCBR1 local/remote switch. A setting is provided to assign a FlexLogic operand
to determine the state. When local mode is true, IEC 61850 client commands will be rejected.
• XCBR1.ST.Opcnt: This is an operation counter as defined in IEC 61850. Command settings are provided to allow the
counter to be cleared.
• XCBR1.ST.Pos: This is the position of the breaker. The breaker control FlexLogic operands are used to determine this
state.
– Intermediate state (00) is indicated when the BREAKER 1 OPEN and BREAKER 1 CLOSED operands are both On.
– Off state (01) is indicated when the BREAKER 1 OPEN operand is On.
– On state (10) is indicated when the BREAKER 1 CLOSED operand is On.
– Bad state (11) is indicated when the BREAKER 1 OPEN and BREAKER 1 CLOSED operands are Off.
• XCBR1.ST.BlkOpn: This is the state of the block open command logic. When true, breaker open commands from IEC
61850 clients will be rejected.
• XCBR1.ST.BlkCls: This is the state of the block close command logic. When true, breaker close commands from IEC
61850 clients will be rejected.
• XCBR1.CO.Pos: This is where IEC 61850 clients can issue open or close commands to the breaker. SBO control with
normal security is the only supported IEC 61850 control model.
• XCBR1.CO.BlkOpn: This is where IEC 61850 clients can issue block open commands to the breaker. Direct control
with normal security is the only supported IEC 61850 control model.
• XCBR1.CO.BlkCls: This is where IEC 61850 clients can issue block close commands to the breaker. Direct control
with normal security is the only supported IEC 61850 control model.

C.3 SERVER FEATURES AND CONFIGURATION APPENDIX C

C.3SERVER FEATURES AND CONFIGURATION C.3.1 BUFFERED/UNBUFFERED REPORTING

IEC 61850 buffered and unbuffered reporting is provided in the GGIO1 logical nodes (for binary status values) and MMXU1
to MMXU6 (for analog measured values). Report settings can be configured using the EnerVista UR Setup software, sub-
station configurator software, or via an IEC 61850 client. The following items can be configured:
• TrgOps: Trigger options. The following bits are supported by the D30:
– Bit 1: data-change
– Bit 4: integrity
– Bit 5: general interrogation
• OptFlds: Option Fields. The following bits are supported by the D30:

C –

Bit 1: sequence-number
Bit 2: report-time-stamp
– Bit 3: reason-for-inclusion
– Bit 4: data-set-name
– Bit 5: data-reference
– Bit 6: buffer-overflow (for buffered reports only)
– Bit 7: entryID (for buffered reports only)
– Bit 8: conf-revision
– Bit 9: segmentation
• IntgPd: Integrity period.
• BufTm: Buffer time.

C.3.2 FILE TRANSFER

MMS file services are supported to allow transfer of oscillography, event record, or other files from a D30 relay.

C.3.3 TIMESTAMPS AND SCANNING

The timestamp values associated with all IEC 61850 data items represent the time of the last change of either the value or
quality flags of the data item. To accomplish this functionality, all IEC 61850 data items must be regularly scanned for data
changes, and the timestamp updated when a change is detected, regardless of the connection status of any IEC 61850 cli-
ents. For applications where there is no IEC 61850 client in use, the IEC 61850 SERVER SCANNING setting can be pro-
grammed as “Disabled”. If a client is in use, this setting should be programmed as “Enabled” to ensure the proper
generation of IEC 61850 timestamps.

C.3.4 LOGICAL DEVICE NAME

The logical device name is used to identify the IEC 61850 logical device that exists within the D30. This name is composed
of two parts: the IED name setting and the logical device instance. The complete logical device name is the combination of
the two character strings programmed in the IEDNAME and LD INST settings. The default values for these strings are “IED-
Name” and “LDInst”. These values should be changed to reflect a logical naming convention for all IEC 61850 logical
devices in the system.

C.3.5 LOCATION

The LPHD1 logical node contains a data attribute called location (LPHD1.DC.PhyNam.location). This is a character string
meant to describe the physical location of the D30. This attribute is programmed through the LOCATION setting and its
default value is “Location”. This value should be changed to describe the actual physical location of the D30.

C-6 D30 Line Distance Protection System GE Multilin


APPENDIX C C.3 SERVER FEATURES AND CONFIGURATION

C.3.6 LOGICAL NODE NAME PREFIXES

IEC 61850 specifies that each logical node can have a name with a total length of 11 characters. The name is composed of:
• A five or six-character name prefix.
• A four-character standard name (for example, MMXU, GGIO, PIOC, etc.).
• A one or two-character instantiation index.
Complete names are of the form xxxxxxPIOC1, where the xxxxxx character string is configurable. Details regarding the
logical node naming rules are given in IEC 61850 parts 6 and 7-2. It is recommended that a consistent naming convention
be used for an entire substation project.

C.3.7 CONNECTION TIMING

A built-in TCP/IP connection timeout of two minutes is employed by the D30 to detect ‘dead’ connections. If there is no data
C
traffic on a TCP connection for greater than two minutes, the connection will be aborted by the D30. This frees up the con-
nection to be used by other clients. Therefore, when using IEC 61850 reporting, clients should configure report control
block items such that an integrity report will be issued at least every 2 minutes (120000 ms). This ensures that the D30 will
not abort the connection. If other MMS data is being polled on the same connection at least once every 2 minutes, this time-
out will not apply.

C.3.8 NON-IEC 61850 DATA

The D30 relay makes available a number of non-IEC 61850 data items. These data items can be accessed through the
“UR” MMS domain. IEC 61850 data can be accessed through the standard IEC 61850 logical device. To access the non-
IEC data items, the INCLUDE NON-IEC DATA setting must be “Enabled”.

C.3.9 COMMUNICATION SOFTWARE UTILITIES

The exact structure and values of the supported IEC 61850 logical nodes can be seen by connecting to a D30 relay with an
MMS browser, such as the “MMS Object Explorer and AXS4-MMS” DDE/OPC server from Sisco Inc.

C.4 GENERIC SUBSTATION EVENT SERVICES: GSSE AND GOOSE APPENDIX C

C.4GENERIC SUBSTATION EVENT SERVICES: GSSE AND GOOSE C.4.1 OVERVIEW

IEC 61850 specifies two types of peer-to-peer data transfer services: Generic Substation State Events (GSSE) and Generic
Object Oriented Substation Events (GOOSE). GSSE services are compatible with UCA 2.0 GOOSE. IEC 61850 GOOSE
services provide virtual LAN (VLAN) support, Ethernet priority tagging, and Ethertype Application ID configuration. The sup-
port for VLANs and priority tagging allows for the optimization of Ethernet network traffic. GOOSE messages can be given
a higher priority than standard Ethernet traffic, and they can be separated onto specific VLANs. Because of the additional
features of GOOSE services versus GSSE services, it is recommended that GOOSE be used wherever backwards com-
patibility with GSSE (or UCA 2.0 GOOSE) is not required.
Devices that transmit GSSE and/or GOOSE messages also function as servers. Each GSSE publisher contains a “GSSE
control block” to configure and control the transmission. Each GOOSE publisher contains a “GOOSE control block” to con-
figure and control the transmission. The transmission is also controlled via device settings. These settings can be seen in
the ICD and/or SCD files, or in the device configuration software or files.
C IEC 61850 recommends a default priority value of 4 for GOOSE. Ethernet traffic that does not contain a priority tag has a
default priority of 1. More details are specified in IEC 61850 part 8-1.
IEC 61850 recommends that the Ethertype Application ID number be configured according to the GOOSE source. In the
D30, the transmitted GOOSE Application ID number must match the configured receive Application ID number in the
receiver. A common number may be used for all GOOSE transmitters in a system. More details are specified in IEC 61850
part 8-1.

C.4.2 GSSE CONFIGURATION

IEC 61850 Generic Substation Status Event (GSSE) communication is compatible with UCA GOOSE communication.
GSSE messages contain a number of double point status data items. These items are transmitted in two pre-defined data
structures named DNA and UserSt. Each DNA and UserSt item is referred to as a ‘bit pair’. GSSE messages are transmit-
ted in response to state changes in any of the data points contained in the message. GSSE messages always contain the
same number of DNA and UserSt bit pairs. Depending the on the configuration, only some of these bit pairs may have val-
ues that are of interest to receiving devices.
The GSSE FUNCTION, GSSE ID, and GSSE DESTINATION MAC ADDRESS settings are used to configure GSSE transmission.
GSSE FUNCTION is set to “Enabled” to enable the transmission. If a valid multicast Ethernet MAC address is entered for the
GSSE DESTINATION MAC ADDRESS setting, this address will be used as the destination MAC address for GSSE messages. If
a valid multicast Ethernet MAC address is not entered (for example, 00 00 00 00 00 00), the D30 will use the source Ether-
net MAC address as the destination, with the multicast bit set.

C.4.3 FIXED GOOSE

The D30 supports two types of IEC 61850 Generic Object Oriented Substation Event (GOOSE) communication: fixed
GOOSE and configurable GOOSE. All GOOSE messages contain IEC 61850 data collected into a dataset. It is this dataset
that is transferred using GOOSE message services. The dataset transferred using the D30 fixed GOOSE is the same data
that is transferred using the GSSE feature; that is, the DNA and UserSt bit pairs. The FlexLogic operands that determine
the state of the DNA and UserSt bit pairs are configurable via settings, but the fixed GOOSE dataset always contains the
same DNA/UserSt data structure. Upgrading from GSSE to GOOSE services is simply a matter of enabling fixed GOOSE
and disabling GSSE. The remote inputs and outputs are configured in the same manner for both GSSE and fixed GOOSE.
It is recommended that the fixed GOOSE be used for implementations that require GOOSE data transfer between UR-
series IEDs. Configurable GOOSE may be used for implementations that require GOOSE data transfer between UR-series
IEDs and devices from other manufacturers.

C.4.4 CONFIGURABLE GOOSE

The configurable GOOSE feature allows for the configuration of the datasets to be transmitted or received from the D30.
The D30 supports the configuration of eight (8) transmission and reception datasets, allowing for the optimization of data
transfer between devices.

C-8 D30 Line Distance Protection System GE Multilin


APPENDIX C C.4 GENERIC SUBSTATION EVENT SERVICES: GSSE AND GOOSE

Items programmed for dataset 1 and 2 will have changes in their status transmitted as soon as the change is detected.
Dataset 1 should be used for high-speed transmission of data that is required for applications such as transfer tripping,
blocking, and breaker fail initiate. At least one digital status value needs to be configured in dataset 1 to enable transmis-
sion of all data configured for dataset 1. Configuring analog data only to dataset 1 will not activate transmission.
Items programmed for datasets 3 through 8 will have changes in their status transmitted at a maximum rate of every
100 ms. Datasets 3 through 8 will regularly analyze each data item configured within them every 100 ms to identify if any
changes have been made. If any changes in the data items are detected, these changes will be transmitted through a
GOOSE message. If there are no changes detected during this 100 ms period, no GOOSE message will be sent.
For all datasets 1 through 8, the integrity GOOSE message will still continue to be sent at the pre-configured rate even if no
changes in the data items are detected.
The GOOSE functionality was enhanced to prevent the relay from flooding a communications network with GOOSE mes-
sages due to an oscillation being created that is triggering a message.
The D30 has the ability of detecting if a data item in one of the GOOSE datasets is erroneously oscillating. This can be C
caused by events such as errors in logic programming, inputs improperly being asserted and de-asserted, or failed station
components. If erroneously oscillation is detected, the D30 will stop sending GOOSE messages from the dataset for a min-
imum period of one second. Should the oscillation persist after the one second time-out period, the D30 will continue to
block transmission of the dataset. The D30 will assert the MAINTENANCE ALERT: GGIO Ind XXX oscill self-test error mes-
sage on the front panel display, where XXX denotes the data item detected as oscillating.
The configurable GOOSE feature is recommended for applications that require GOOSE data transfer between UR-series
IEDs and devices from other manufacturers. Fixed GOOSE is recommended for applications that require GOOSE data
transfer between UR-series IEDs.
IEC 61850 GOOSE messaging contains a number of configurable parameters, all of which must be correct to achieve the
successful transfer of data. It is critical that the configured datasets at the transmission and reception devices are an exact
match in terms of data structure, and that the GOOSE addresses and name strings match exactly. Manual configuration is
possible, but third-party substation configuration software may be used to automate the process. The EnerVista UR Set-
upsoftware can produce IEC 61850 ICD files and import IEC 61850 SCD files produced by a substation configurator (see
the IEC 61850 IED configuration information later in this appendix).
Use independent ports for IEC 61850 communication and take care when configuring the settings,
NOTICE else loss of protection or misoperation of the relay can result.
The following example illustrates the configuration required to transfer IEC 61850 data items between two devices. The
general steps required for transmission configuration are:
1. Configure the transmission dataset.
2. Configure the GOOSE service settings.
3. Configure the data.
The general steps required for reception configuration are:
1. Configure the reception dataset.
2. Configure the GOOSE service settings.
3. Configure the data.
This example shows how to configure the transmission and reception of three IEC 61850 data items: a single point status
value, its associated quality flags, and a floating point analog value.
The following procedure illustrates the transmission configuration.
1. Configure the transmission dataset by making the following changes in the PRODUCT SETUP  COMMUNICATION 
IEC 61850 PROTOCOL  GSSE/GOOSE CONFIGURATION  TRANSMISSION  CONFIGURABLE GOOSE  CONFIGURABLE
GOOSE 1  CONFIG GSE 1 DATASET ITEMS settings menu:

– Set ITEM 2 to “GGIO1.ST.Ind1.stVal” to indicate the status value for GGIO1 status indication 1.
The transmission dataset now contains a set of quality flags and a single point status Boolean value. The reception
dataset on the receiving device must exactly match this structure.

 IEC 61850 PROTOCOL  GSSE/GOOSE CONFIGURATION  TRANSMISSION  CONFIGURABLE GOOSE  CONFIGU-
RABLE GOOSE 1 settings menu:

– Set CONFIG GSE 1 FUNCTION to “Enabled”.


– Set CONFIG GSE 1 ID to an appropriate descriptive string (the default value is “GOOSEOut_1”).
– Set CONFIG GSE 1 DST MAC to a multicast address (for example, 01 00 00 12 34 56).
– Set the CONFIG GSE 1 VLAN PRIORITY; the default value of “4” is OK for this example.
– Set the CONFIG GSE 1 VLAN ID value; the default value is “0”, but some switches may require this value to be “1”.
– Set the CONFIG GSE 1 ETYPE APPID value. This setting represents the Ethertype application ID and must match the
configuration on the receiver (the default value is “0”).

C – Set the CONFIG GSE 1 CONFREV value. This value changes automatically as described in IEC 61850 part 7-2. For
this example it can be left at its default value.
3. Configure the data by making the following changes in the PRODUCT SETUP  COMMUNICATION  IEC 61850 PROTO-

– Set GGIO1 INDICATION 1 to a FlexLogic operand used to provide the status of GGIO1.ST.Ind1.stVal (for example, a
contact input, virtual input, a protection element status, etc.).
The D30 must be rebooted (control power removed and re-applied) before these settings take effect.
The following procedure illustrates the reception configuration.

– Set ITEM 2 to “GGIO3.ST.Ind1.stVal” to indicate the status value for GGIO3 status indication 1.
The reception dataset now contains a set of quality flags, a single point status Boolean value, and a floating point ana-
log value. This matches the transmission dataset configuration above.
2. Configure the GOOSE service settings by making the following changes in the INPUTS/OUTPUTS  REMOTE DEVICES
 REMOTE DEVICE 1 settings menu:
– Set REMOTE DEVICE 1 ID to match the GOOSE ID string for the transmitting device. Enter “GOOSEOut_1”.
– Set REMOTE DEVICE 1 ETYPE APPID to match the Ethertype application ID from the transmitting device. This is “0” in
the example above.
– Set the REMOTE DEVICE 1 DATASET value. This value represents the dataset number in use. Since we are using
configurable GOOSE 1 in this example, program this value as “GOOSEIn 1”.
3. Configure the data by making the following changes in the INPUTS/OUTPUTS  REMOTE INPUTS  REMOTE INPUT 1
settings menu:
– Set REMOTE IN 1 DEVICE to “GOOSEOut_1”.
– Set REMOTE IN 1 ITEM to “Dataset Item 2”. This assigns the value of the GGIO3.ST.Ind1.stVal single point status
item to remote input 1.
Remote input 1 can now be used in FlexLogic equations or other settings. The D30 must be rebooted (control power
removed and re-applied) before these settings take effect.
The value of remote input 1 (Boolean on or off) in the receiving device will be determined by the GGIO1.ST.Ind1.stVal value
in the sending device. The above settings will be automatically populated by the EnerVista UR Setup software when a com-
plete SCD file is created by third party substation configurator software.

C-10 D30 Line Distance Protection System GE Multilin


APPENDIX C C.4 GENERIC SUBSTATION EVENT SERVICES: GSSE AND GOOSE

C.4.5 ETHERNET MAC ADDRESS FOR GSSE/GOOSE

Ethernet capable devices each contain a unique identifying address called a Media Access Control (MAC) address. This
address cannot be changed and is unique for each Ethernet device produced worldwide. The address is six bytes in length
and is usually represented as six hexadecimal values (for example, 00 A0 F4 01 02 03). It is used in all Ethernet frames as
the ‘source’ address of the frame. Each Ethernet frame also contains a destination address. The destination address can
be different for each Ethernet frame depending on the intended destination of the frame.
A special type of destination address called a multicast address is used when the Ethernet frame can be received by more
than one device. An Ethernet MAC address is multicast when the least significant bit of the first byte is set (for example, 01
00 00 00 00 00 is a multicast address).
GSSE and GOOSE messages must have multicast destination MAC addresses.
By default, the D30 is configured to use an automated multicast MAC scheme. If the D30 destination MAC address setting
is not a valid multicast address (that is, the least significant bit of the first byte is not set), the address used as the destina- C
tion MAC will be the same as the local MAC address, but with the multicast bit set. Thus, if the local MAC address is 00 A0
F4 01 02 03, then the destination MAC address will be 01 A0 F4 01 02 03.

C.4.6 GSSE ID AND GOOSE ID SETTINGS

GSSE messages contain an identifier string used by receiving devices to identify the sender of the message, defined in IEC
61850 part 8-1 as GsID. This is a programmable 65-character string. This string should be chosen to provide a descriptive
name of the originator of the GSSE message.
GOOSE messages contain an identifier string used by receiving devices to identify the sender of the message, defined in
IEC 61850 part 8-1 as GoID. This programmable 65-character string should be a descriptive name of the originator of the
GOOSE message. GOOSE messages also contain two additional character strings used for identification of the message:
DatSet - the name of the associated dataset, and GoCBRef - the reference (name) of the associated GOOSE control block.
These strings are automatically populated and interpreted by the D30; no settings are required.

C.5IEC 61850 IMPLEMENTATION VIA ENERVISTA UR SETUP C.5.1 OVERVIEW

The D30 can be configured for IEC 61850 via the EnerVista UR Setup software as follows.
1. An ICD file is generated for the D30 by the EnerVista UR Setup software that describe the capabilities of the IED.
2. The ICD file is then imported into a system configurator along with other ICD files for other IEDs (from GE or other ven-
dors) for system configuration.
3. The result is saved to a SCD file, which is then imported back to EnerVista UR Setup to create one or more settings
file(s). The settings file(s) can then be used to update the relay(s) with the new configuration information.
The configuration process is illustrated below.

The following IEC related tools are referenced in the procedures that describe the IED configuration process for IEC 61850:
• System configurator or Substation configurator: This is an IED independent system level tool that can import or
export configuration files defined by IEC 61850-6. It can import configuration files (ICD) from several IEDs for system
level engineering and is used to add system information shared by different IEDs. The system configuration generates
a substation related configuration file (SCD) which is fed back to the IED configurator (for example, EnerVista UR
Setup) for system related IED configuration. The system configurator should also be able to read a system specifica-
tion file (SSD) to use as base for starting system engineering, or to compare it with an engineered system for the same
substation.
• IED configurator: This is a vendor specific tool that can directly or indirectly generate an ICD file from the IED (for
example, from a settings file). It can also import a system SCL file (SCD) to set communication configuration parame-
ters (that is, required addresses, reception GOOSE datasets, IDs of incoming GOOSE datasets, etc.) for the IED. The
IED configurator functionality is implemented in the EnerVista UR Setup software.

C.5.2 CONFIGURING IEC 61850 SETTINGS

Before creating an ICD file, the user can customize the IEC 61850 related settings for the IED. For example, the IED name
and logical device instance can be specified to uniquely identify the IED within the substation, or transmission GOOSE
datasets created so that the system configurator can configure the cross-communication links to send GOOSE messages
from the IED. Once the IEC 61850 settings are configured, the ICD creation process will recognize the changes and gener-
ate an ICD file that contains the updated settings.
Some of the IED settings will be modified during they system configuration process. For example, a new IP address may be
assigned, line items in a Transmission GOOSE dataset may be added or deleted, or prefixes of some logical nodes may be
changed. While all new configurations will be mapped to the D30 settings file when importing an SCD file, all unchanged
settings will preserve the same values in the new settings file.
These settings can be configured either directly through the relay panel or through the EnerVista UR Setup software (pre-
ferred method). The full list of IEC 61850 related settings for are as follows:
• Network configuration: IP address, IP subnet mask, and default gateway IP address (access through the Settings >
Product Setup > Communications > Network menu tree in EnerVista UR Setup).
• Server configuration: IED name and logical device instance (access through the Settings > Product Setup > Com-
munications > IEC 61850 > Server Configuration menu tree in EnerVista UR Setup).
• Logical node prefixes, which includes prefixes for all logical nodes except LLN0 (access through the Settings > Prod-
uct Setup > Communications > IEC 61850 > Logical Node Prefixes menu tree in EnerVista UR Setup).

GE Multilin D30 Line Distance Protection System C-13


C.5 IEC 61850 IMPLEMENTATION VIA ENERVISTA UR SETUP APPENDIX C

• MMXU deadbands, which includes deadbands for all available MMXUs. The number of MMXUs is related to the num-
ber of CT/VT modules in the relay. There are two MMXUs for each CT/VT module. For example, if a relay contains two
CT/VT modules, there will be four MMXUs available (access through the Settings > Product Setup > Communica-
tions > IEC 61850 > MMXU Deadbands menu tree in EnerVista UR Setup).
• GGIO1 status configuration, which includes the number of status points in GGIO1 as well as the potential internal map-
pings for each GGIO1 indication. However only the number of status points will be used in the ICD creation process
(access through the Settings > Product Setup > Communications > IEC 61850 > GGIO1 Status Configuration
menu tree in EnerVista UR Setup).
• GGIO2 control configuration, which includes ctlModels for all SPCSOs within GGIO2 (access through the Settings >
Product Setup > Communications > IEC 61850 > GGIO2 Control Configuration menu tree in EnerVista UR
Setup).
• Configurable transmission GOOSE, which includes eight configurable datasets that can be used for GOOSE transmis-
C sion. The GOOSE ID can be specified for each dataset (it must be unique within the IED as well as across the whole
substation), as well as the destination MAC address, VLAN priority, VLAN ID, ETYPE APPID, and the dataset items.
The selection of the dataset item is restricted by firmware version; for version 7.2x, only GGIO1.ST.Indx.stVal and
GGIO1.ST.Indx.q are valid selection (where x is between 1 to N, and N is determined by number of GGIO1 status
points). Although configurable transmission GOOSE can also be created and altered by some third-party system con-
figurators, we recommend configuring transmission GOOSE for GE Multilin IEDs before creating the ICD, and strictly
within EnerVista UR Setup software or the front panel display (access through the Settings > Product Setup > Com-
munications > IEC 61850 > GSSE/GOOSE Configuration > Transmission > Tx Configurable GOOSE menu tree
in EnerVista UR Setup).
• Configurable reception GOOSE, which includes eight configurable datasets that can be used for GOOSE reception.
However, unlike datasets for transmission, datasets for reception only contains dataset items, and they are usually cre-
ated automatically by process of importing the SCD file (access through the Settings > Product Setup > Communi-
cations > IEC 61850 > GSSE/GOOSE Configuration > Reception > Rx Configurable GOOSE menu tree in
EnerVista UR Setup).
• Remote devices configuration, which includes remote device ID (GOOSE ID or GoID of the incoming transmission
GOOSE dataset), ETYPE APPID (of the GSE communication block for the incoming transmission GOOSE), and
DATASET (which is the name of the associated reception GOOSE dataset). These settings are usually done automat-
ically by process of importing SCD file (access through the Settings > Inputs/Outputs > Remote Devices menu tree
in EnerVista UR Setup).
• Remote inputs configuration, which includes device (remote device ID) and item (which dataset item in the associated
reception GOOSE dataset to map) values. Only the items with cross-communication link created in SCD file should be
mapped. These configurations are usually done automatically by process of importing SCD file (access through the
Settings > Inputs/Outputs > Remote Inputs menu tree in EnerVista UR Setup).

C.5.3 ABOUT ICD FILES

The SCL language is based on XML, and its syntax definition is described as a W3C XML Schema. ICD is one type of SCL
file (which also includes SSD, CID and SCD files). The ICD file describes the capabilities of an IED and consists of four
major sections:
• Header
• Communication
• IEDs
• DataTypeTemplates

The SubNetwork node contains all access points which can (logically) communicate with the sub-network protocol and
without the intervening router. The ConnectedAP node describes the IED access point connected to this sub-network. The
Address node contains the address parameters of the access point. The GSE node provides the address element for stat-
ing the control block related address parameters, where IdInst is the instance identification of the logical device within the
IED on which the control block is located, and cbName is the name of the control block.
The IED node describes the (pre-)configuration of an IED: its access points, the logical devices, and logical nodes instanti-
ated on it. Furthermore, it defines the capabilities of an IED in terms of communication services offered and, together with
its LNType, instantiated data (DO) and its default or configuration values. There should be only one IED section in an ICD
since it only describes one IED.

The DataTypeTemplates node defines instantiable logical node types. A logical node type is an instantiable template of the
data of a logical node. A LnodeType is referenced each time that this instantiable type is needed with an IED. A logical
node type template is built from DATA (DO) elements, which again have a DO type, which is derived from the DATA classes
(CDC). DOs consist of attributes (DA) or of elements of already defined DO types (SDO). The attribute (DA) has a func-
tional constraint, and can either have a basic type, be an enumeration, or a structure of a DAType. The DAType is built from
BDA elements, defining the structure elements, which again can be BDA elements of have a base type such as DA.

C.5.4 CREATING AN ICD FILE WITH ENERVISTA UR SETUP

An ICD file can be created directly from a connected D30 IED or from an offline D30 settings file with the EnerVista UR
Setup software using the following procedure:
1. Right-click the connected UR-series relay or settings file and select Create ICD File.

2. The EnerVista UR Setup will prompt to save the file. Select the file path and enter the name for the ICD file, then click
OK to generate the file.
The time to create an ICD file from the offline D30 settings file is typically much quicker than create an ICD file directly from
the relay.

C.5.5 ABOUT SCD FILES

System configuration is performed in the system configurator. While many vendors (including GE Multilin) are working their
own system configuration tools, there are some system configurators available in the market (for example, Siemens DIGSI
version 4.6 or above and ASE Visual SCL Beta 0.12).
Although the configuration tools vary from one vendor to another, the procedure is pretty much the same. First, a substation
project must be created, either as an empty template or with some system information by importing a system specification
file (SSD). Then, IEDs are added to the substation. Since each IED is represented by its associated ICD, the ICD files are
imported into the substation project, and the system configurator validates the ICD files during the importing process. If the
ICD files are successfully imported into the substation project, it may be necessary to perform some additional minor steps
to attach the IEDs to the substation (see the system configurator manual for details).
Once all IEDs are inserted into the substation, further configuration is possible, such as:
• Assigning network addresses to individual IEDs.
• Customizing the prefixes of logical nodes.
• Creating cross-communication links (configuring GOOSE messages to send from one IED to others).
When system configurations are complete, the results are saved to an SCD file, which contains not only the configuration
for each IED in the substation, but also the system configuration for the entire substation. Finally, the SCD file is passed
back to the IED configurator (vendor specific tool) to update the new configuration into the IED.
The SCD file consists of at least five major sections:

APPENDIX C C.5 IEC 61850 IMPLEMENTATION VIA ENERVISTA UR SETUP

• Header.

C.5.6 IMPORTING AN SCD FILE WITH ENERVISTA UR SETUP

The following procedure describes how to update the D30 with the new configuration from an SCD file with the EnerVista
UR Setup software.
1. Right-click anywhere in the files panel and select the Import Contents From SCD File item.

2. Select the saved SCD file and click Open.

GE Multilin D30 Line Distance Protection System C-21

3. The software will open the SCD file and then prompt the user to save a UR-series settings file. Select a location and
name for the URS (UR-series relay settings) file.
If there is more than one GE Multilin IED defined in the SCD file, the software prompt the user to save a UR-series set-
tings file for each IED.
4. After the URS file is created, modify any settings (if required).
5. To update the relay with the new settings, right-click on the settings file in the settings tree and select the Write Set-
tings File to Device item.
6. The software will prompt for the target device. Select the target device from the list provided and click Send. The new
settings will be updated to the selected device.

APPENDIX D IEC 60870-5-103 COMMUNICATIONSD.1IEC 60870-5-103 D.1.1 OVERVIEW

IEC 60870-5-103 is defined as a companion standard for the informative element of the protection equipment. IEC 60870-
5-103 defines communication for a serial, unbalanced link only. Communication speeds are defined as either 9600 or
19200 baud.
This manual assumes basic knowledge of the IEC 60870-5-103 protocol and the standard IEC 60870 documents relating to
the protocol.
Standard IEC 60870 documents relating to IEC 60870-5-103:
• IEC 60870-5-1 Transmission frame formats
• IEC 60870-5-2 Link transmission procedures
• IEC 60870-5-3 General structure of application data
• IEC 60870-5-4 Definition and coding of application information elements
• IEC 60870-5-5 Basic application functions
• IEC 60870-5-6 Conformance testing guidelines
An IEC 60870-5-103 device is required to provide an interoperability table. Interoperability means that any required applica-
tion data in the device, which can be coded into an IEC 60870-5-103 data type, can be mapped into the IEC 60870-5-103
address space. This data is recognized by any IEC 60870-5-103 master.

D.1.2 FACTOR AND OFFSET CALCULATION TO TRANSMIT MEASURAND

The general formula for the transmitted value is Xt = a * X + b


where X is the measurand, a is the multiplication factor, b is the offset and Xt is the value transmitted.
The conditions for determining a and b, when the values exceed the range are:
4096 = a*Xmax + b (Xmax is the maximum value for the measurand)
-4095 =a*Xmin + b (Xmin is the minimum value for the measurand)
By solving the above system of equations for a and b, we find that:
a = 8191 / (Xmax - Xmin)
b = -4096 * (Xmax + Xmin) / (Xmax - Xmin)
So
Xt = 8191/(Xmax - Xmin)) * X - 4096 * (Xmax + Xmin) / (Xmax - Xmin)
We may further simplify the above formula for situations where:
1)
Xmin = -Xmax (positive and negative values) :
Xt = (8191/2*Xmax) * X
a = 4096/Xmax
b=0
2)
If Xmin = 0 (only positive values)
Xt = (8191/Xmax) * X - 4096
a = 2 * 4096/Xmax
b = -4096
To calculate Xmax, one needs to know the rated value for the specific type of measurand.
Xmax = 2.4 * Xrated

Explanation of ‘Sometimes’: Object 12 points are mapped to UR Virtual Inputs. The persistence of Virtual Inputs is
determined by the VIRTUAL INPUT X TYPE settings. Both “Pulse On” and “Latch On” operations perform the same func-
tion in the UR; that is, the appropriate Virtual Input is put into the “On” state. If the Virtual Input is set to “Self-Reset”,
it will reset after one pass of FlexLogic. The On/Off times and Count value are ignored. “Pulse Off” and “Latch Off”
operations put the appropriate Virtual Input into the “Off” state. “Trip” and “Close” operations both put the appropriate
Virtual Input into the “On” state.

F.1.2 IMPLEMENTATION TABLE

The following table identifies the variations, function codes, and qualifiers supported by the D30 in both request messages
and in response messages. For static (non-change-event) objects, requests sent with qualifiers 00, 01, 06, 07, or 08, will be
responded with qualifiers 00 or 01. Static object requests sent with qualifiers 17 or 28 will be responded with qualifiers 17 or
28. For change-event objects, qualifiers 17 or 28 are always responded.

Note 1: A default variation refers to the variation responded when variation 0 is requested and/or in class 0, 1, 2, or 3 scans. The default varia-
tions for object types 1, 2, 20, 21, 22, 23, 30, and 32 are selected via relay settings. See the Communications section in Chapter 5 for
details. This optimizes the class 0 poll data size.
Note 2: For static (non-change-event) objects, qualifiers 17 or 28 are only responded when a request is sent with qualifiers 17 or 28, respec-
tively. Otherwise, static object requests sent with qualifiers 00, 01, 06, 07, or 08, will be responded with qualifiers 00 or 01 (for change-
event objects, qualifiers 17 or 28 are always responded.)
Note 3: Cold restarts are implemented the same as warm restarts – the D30 is not restarted, but the DNP process is restarted.

Note 1: A default variation refers to the variation responded when variation 0 is requested and/or in class 0, 1, 2, or 3 scans. The default varia-
tions for object types 1, 2, 20, 21, 22, 23, 30, and 32 are selected via relay settings. See the Communications section in Chapter 5 for

A counter freeze command has no meaning for counters 8 and 9. D30 Digital Counter values are represented as 32-bit
integers. The DNP 3.0 protocol defines counters to be unsigned integers. Care should be taken when interpreting negative
counter values.

APPENDIX F F.2 DNP POINT LISTS

F.2.4 ANALOG INPUTS

The DNP analog input data points are configured through the PRODUCT SETUP  COMMUNICATIONS  DNP / IEC104 POINT
LISTS  ANALOG INPUT / MME POINTS menu. See the Communications section of Chapter 5 for details.

It is important to note that 16-bit and 32-bit variations of analog inputs are transmitted through DNP as signed numbers.
Even for analog input points that are not valid as negative values, the maximum positive representation is 32767 for 16-bit
values and 2147483647 for 32-bit values. This is a DNP requirement.
The deadbands for all Analog Input points are in the same units as the Analog Input quantity. For example, an Analog Input
quantity measured in volts has a corresponding deadband in units of volts. This is in conformance with DNP Technical Bul-
letin 9809-001: Analog Input Reporting Deadband. Relay settings are available to set default deadband values according to
data type. Deadbands for individual Analog Input Points can be set using DNP Object 34.

APPENDIX G G.1 RADIUS SERVER CONFIGURATION

APPENDIX G RADIUS SERVERG.1 RADIUS SERVER CONFIGURATION G.1.1 RADIUS SERVER CONFIGURATION

The following procedure is an example of how to set up a simple RADIUS server. You install the RADIUS server software
on a separate computer. In this example, we use FreeRADIUS third-party software.
1. Download and install FreeRADIUS from www.freeradius.net as the RADIUS server. This is a Windows 32-bit installa-
tion that is known to work. If you try another third-party tool and it does not work, use the FreeRADIUS software from
freeradius.net.
2. Open the radius.conf file in the <Path_to_Radius>\etc\raddb folder, locate the "bind_address" field, and enter your
RADIUS server IP address. An example is
bind_address = 10.14.61.109
Text editor software that supports direct editing and saving of UNIX text encodings and line breaks, such as EditPad
Lite, is needed for this editing.
3. In the users.conf file in the <Path_to_Radius>\etc\raddb folder, add the following text to configure a user "Tester" with
an Administrator role.
Tester User-Password == "testpw"
GE-PDC-USER-Role = Administrator,
4. In the clients.conf file in the <Path_to_Radius>\etc\raddb folder, add the following text to define the UR as a RADIUS
client, where the client IP address is 10.0.0.2, the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, the shared secret specified here is
also configured on the UR device for successful authentication, and the shortname is a short, optional alias that can be
used in place of the IP address.
client 10.0.0.2/24 {
secret = testing123
shortname = private-network-1
}
5. In the <Path_to_Radius>\etc\raddb folder, create a file called dictionary.ge and add the following content.
# ##########################################################
# GE VSAs
############################################################

VENDOR GE 2910

# Management authorization
BEGIN-VENDOR GE

# Role ID
G
ATTRIBUTE GE-UR-Role 1 integer

# GE-UR-ROLE values
VALUE GE-UR-Role Administrator 1
VALUE GE-UR-Role Supervisor 2
VALUE GE-UR-Role Engineer 3
VALUE GE-UR-Role Operator 4
VALUE GE-UR-Role Observer 5

END-VENDOR GE
#############################################################
6. In the dictionary file in the <Path_to_Radius>\etc\raddb folder, add the following line.
$INCLUDE dictionary.ge
For example, the file can look like the following:
$INCLUDE ../shareéfreeradius/dictionary
$INCLUDE dictionary.ge
7. For the first start, run the RADIUS server in debug mode to ensure that there are no compiling errors.

GE Multilin D30 Line Distance Protection System G-1


G.1 RADIUS SERVER CONFIGURATION APPENDIX G

<Path_to_Radius>/start_radiusd_debug.bat
8. Set up the RADIUS parameters on the UR as follows.
If logging in, select Device for the Authentication Type, and use Administrator for the User Name. The default pass-
word is "ChangeMe1#".
Access Settings > Product Setup > Security. Configure the IP address and ports for the RADIUS server. Leave the
GE vendor ID field at the default of 2910. Update the RADIUS shared secret as specified in the clients.conf file. Restart
the relay for the IP address and port changes to take effect.
9. Verify operation. Log in to the UR software as follows. In the login window, select Server as the Authentication Type,
enter the user name entered (for example user name Tester and password "testpw"). Check that the RADIUS server
log file shows the access with an "Access-Accept" entry.
Recall that if you tried another third-party tool and it did not work, you can use the FreeRADIUS software from freera-
dius.net.
