    About this chapterThis chapter describes current and voltage transformer requirements.

    2.1 Current transformer requirementsThe performance of a protection function will depend on the quality of themeasured current signal. Saturation of the current transformer (CT) will causedistortion of the current signal and can result in a failure to operate or causeunwanted operations of some functions. Consequently CT saturation can have aninfluence on both the dependability and the security of the protection. Thisprotection IED has been designed to permit heavy CT saturation with maintainedcorrect operation.

    2.1.1 Current transformer classificationTo guarantee correct operation, the current transformers (CTs) must be able tocorrectly reproduce the current for a minimum time before the CT will begin tosaturate. To fulfill the requirement on a specified time to saturation the CTs mustfulfill the requirements of a minimum secondary e.m.f. that is specified below.There are several different ways to specify CTs. Conventional magnetic core CTsare usually specified and manufactured according to some international or nationalstandards, which specify different protection classes as well. There are manydifferent standards and a lot of classes but fundamentally there are three differenttypes of CTs: High remanence type CT Low remanence type CT Non remanence type CT

    The high remanence type has no limit for the remanent flux. This CT has amagnetic core without any airgap and a remanent flux might remain almost infinitetime. In this type of transformers the remanence can be up to around 80% of thesaturation flux. Typical examples of high remanence type CT are class P, PX, TPS,TPX according to IEC, class P, X according to BS (old British Standard) and nongapped class C, K according to ANSI/IEEE.The low remanence type has a specified limit for the remanent flux. This CT ismade with a small air gap to reduce the remanence to a level that does not exceed10% of the saturation flux. The small air gap has only very limited influences on

    1MRK 504 116-UEN C Section 2Requirements

    17Application manual

  • the other properties of the CT. Class PR, TPY according to IEC are low remanencetype CTs.The non remanence type CT has practically negligible level of remanent flux.This type of CT has relatively big air gaps in order to reduce the remanence topractically zero level. In the same time, these air gaps reduce the influence of the DC-component from the primary fault current. The air gaps will also decrease themeasuring accuracy in the non-saturated region of operation. Class TPZ accordingto IEC is a non remanence type CT.Different standards and classes specify the saturation e.m.f. in different ways but itis possible to approximately compare values from different classes. The ratedequivalent limiting secondary e.m.f. Eal according to the IEC 60044 6 standard isused to specify the CT requirements for the IED. The requirements are alsospecified according to other standards.

    2.1.2 ConditionsThe requirements are a result of investigations performed in our network simulator.The current transformer models are representative for current transformers of highremanence and low remanence type. The results may not always be valid for nonremanence type CTs (TPZ).The performances of the protection functions have been checked in the range fromsymmetrical to fully asymmetrical fault currents. Primary time constants of at least120 ms have been considered at the tests. The current requirements below are thusapplicable both for symmetrical and asymmetrical fault currents.Depending on the protection function phase-to-earth, phase-to-phase and three-phase faults have been tested for different relevant fault positions for example,close in forward and reverse faults, zone 1 reach faults, internal and external faults.The dependability and security of the protection was verified by checking forexample, time delays, unwanted operations, directionality, overreach and stability.The remanence in the current transformer core can cause unwanted operations orminor additional time delays for some protection functions. As unwantedoperations are not acceptable at all maximum remanence has been considered forfault cases critical for the security, for example, faults in reverse direction andexternal faults. Because of the almost negligible risk of additional time delays andthe non-existent risk of failure to operate the remanence have not been consideredfor the dependability cases. The requirements below are therefore fully valid for allnormal applications.It is difficult to give general recommendations for additional margins forremanence to avoid the minor risk of an additional time delay. They depend on theperformance and economy requirements. When current transformers of lowremanence type (for example, TPY, PR) are used, normally no additional margin isneeded. For current transformers of high remanence type (for example, P, PX, TPS,TPX) the small probability of fully asymmetrical faults, together with high

    Section 2 1MRK 504 116-UEN CRequirements

    18Application manual

  • remanence in the same direction as the flux generated by the fault, has to be kept inmind at the decision of an additional margin. Fully asymmetrical fault current willbe achieved when the fault occurs at approximately zero voltage (0).Investigations have shown that 95% of the faults in the network will occur whenthe voltage is between 40 and 90. In addition fully asymmetrical fault currentwill not exist in all phases at the same time.

    2.1.3 Fault currentThe current transformer requirements are based on the maximum fault current forfaults in different positions. Maximum fault current will occur for three-phasefaults or single phase-to-earth faults. The current for a single phase-to-earth faultwill exceed the current for a three-phase fault when the zero sequence impedancein the total fault loop is less than the positive sequence impedance.When calculating the current transformer requirements, maximum fault current forthe relevant fault position should be used and therefore both fault types have to beconsidered.

    2.1.4 Secondary wire resistance and additional loadThe voltage at the current transformer secondary terminals directly affects thecurrent transformer saturation. This voltage is developed in a loop containing thesecondary wires and the burden of all relays in the circuit. For earth faults the loopincludes the phase and neutral wire, normally twice the resistance of the singlesecondary wire. For three-phase faults the neutral current is zero and it is justnecessary to consider the resistance up to the point where the phase wires areconnected to the common neutral wire. The most common practice is to use fourwires secondary cables so it normally is sufficient to consider just a singlesecondary wire for the three-phase case.The conclusion is that the loop resistance, twice the resistance of the singlesecondary wire, must be used in the calculation for phase-to-earth faults and thephase resistance, the resistance of a single secondary wire, may normally be usedin the calculation for three-phase faults.As the burden can be considerable different for three-phase faults and phase-to-earth faults it is important to consider both cases. Even in a case where the phase-to-earth fault current is smaller than the three-phase fault current the phase-to-earthfault can be dimensioning for the CT depending on the higher burden.In isolated or high impedance earthed systems the phase-to-earth fault is not thedimensioning case and therefore the resistance of the single secondary wire alwayscan be used in the calculation, for this case.

  • 2.1.5 General current transformer requirementsThe current transformer ratio is mainly selected based on power system data forexample, maximum load. However, it should be verified that the current to theprotection is higher than the minimum operating value for all faults that are to bedetected with the selected CT ratio. The minimum operating current is different fordifferent functions and normally settable so each function should be checked.The current error of the current transformer can limit the possibility to use a verysensitive setting of a sensitive residual overcurrent protection. If a very sensitivesetting of this function will be used it is recommended that the current transformershould have an accuracy class which have an current error at rated primary currentthat is less than 1% (for example, 5P). If current transformers with less accuracyare used it is advisable to check the actual unwanted residual current during thecommissioning.

    2.1.6 Rated equivalent secondary e.m.f. requirementsWith regard to saturation of the current transformer all current transformers of highremanence and low remanence type that fulfill the requirements on the ratedequivalent secondary e.m.f. Eal below can be used. The characteristic of the nonremanence type CT (TPZ) is not well defined as far as the phase angle error isconcerned. If no explicit recommendation is given for a specific function wetherefore recommend contacting ABB to confirm that the non remanence type canbe used.The CT requirements for the different functions below are specified as a ratedequivalent limiting secondary e.m.f. Eal according to the IEC 60044-6 standard.Requirements for CTs specified in different ways are given at the end of this section.

    In impedance earthed systems the phase-to-earth fault currents often are relativelysmall and the requirements might result in small CTs. However, in applicationswhere the zero sequence current from the phase side of the transformer is asummation of currents from more than one CT (cable CTs or groups of individualCTs in Holmgren connection) for example, in substations with breaker-and-a-halfor double-busbar double-breaker arrangement or if the transformer has a T-connection to different busbars, there is a risk that the CTs can be exposed forhigher fault currents than the considered phase-to-earth fault currents above.Examples of such cases can be cross-country faults or phase-to-phase faults withhigh fault currents and unsymmetrical distribution of the phase currents betweenthe CTs. The zero sequence fault current level can differ much and is often difficultto calculate or estimate for different cases. To cover these cases, with summationof zero sequence currents from more than one CT, the phase side CTs must fulfillthe Requirement (17) below:

    2.1.7 Current transformer requirements for CTs according toother standardsAll kinds of conventional magnetic core CTs are possible to use with the IEDs ifthey fulfill the requirements corresponding to the above specified expressed as therated equivalent secondary e.m.f. Eal according to the IEC 60044-6 standard. Fromdifferent standards and available data for relaying applications it is possible toapproximately calculate a secondary e.m.f. of the CT comparable with Eal. Bycomparing this with the required secondary e.m.f. Ealreq it is possible to judge if theCT fulfills the requirements. The requirements according to some other standardsare specified below.

    2.1.7.1 Current transformers according to IEC 60044-1, class P, PRA CT according to IEC 60044-1 is specified by the secondary limiting e.m.f. E2max.The value of the E2max is approximately equal to the corresponding Eal accordingto IEC 60044-6. Therefore, the CTs according to class P and PR must have asecondary limiting e.m.f. E2max that fulfills the following:

    2 max max alreqE E>

    EQUATION1383 V2 EN (Equation 11)

    2.1.7.2 Current transformers according to IEC 60044-1, class PX, IEC60044-6, class TPS (and old British Standard, class X)CTs according to these classes are specified approximately in the same way by arated knee-point e.m.f. Eknee (Ek for class PX, EkneeBS for class X and the limitingsecondary voltage Ual for TPS). The value of the Eknee is lower than thecorresponding Eal according to IEC 60044-6. It is not possible to give a generalrelation between the Eknee and the Eal but normally the Eknee is approximately 80 %of the Eal. Therefore, the CTs according to class PX, X and TPS must have a ratedknee-point e.m.f. Eknee that fulfills the following:

    2.1.7.3 Current transformers according to ANSI/IEEECurrent transformers according to ANSI/IEEE are partly specified in differentways. A rated secondary terminal voltage UANSI is specified for a CT of class C.UANSI is the secondary terminal voltage the CT will deliver to a standard burden at20 times rated secondary current without exceeding 10 % ratio correction. Thereare a number of standardized UANSI values for example, UANSI is 400 V for a C400CT. A corresponding rated equivalent limiting secondary e.m.f. EalANSI can beestimated as follows:

    The CTs according to class C must have a calculated rated equivalent limitingsecondary e.m.f. EalANSI that fulfills the following:

    A CT according to ANSI/IEEE is also specified by the knee-point voltageUkneeANSI that is graphically defined from an excitation curve. The knee-pointvoltage UkneeANSI normally has a lower value than the knee-point e.m.f. accordingto IEC and BS. UkneeANSI can approximately be estimated to 75 % of thecorresponding Eal according to IEC 60044 6. Therefore, the CTs according to ANSI/IEEE must have a knee-point voltage UkneeANSI that fulfills the following:

  • 2.2 Voltage transformer requirementsThe performance of a protection function will depend on the quality of themeasured input signal. Transients caused by capacitive voltage transformers(CVTs) can affect some protection functions.Magnetic or capacitive voltage transformers can be used.The capacitive voltage transformers (CVTs) should fulfill the requirementsaccording to the IEC 600445 standard regarding ferro-resonance and transients.The ferro-resonance requirements of the CVTs are specified in chapter 7.4 of thestandard.The transient responses for three different standard transient response classes, T1,T2 and T3 are specified in chapter 15.5 of the standard. CVTs according to allclasses can be used.The protection IED has effective filters for these transients, which gives secure andcorrect operation with CVTs.

    2.3 SNTP server requirementsThe SNTP server to be used is connected to the local network, that is not more than4-5 switches or routers away from the IED. The SNTP server is dedicated for itstask, or at least equipped with a real-time operating system, that is not a PC withSNTP server software. The SNTP server should be stable, that is, eithersynchronized from a stable source like GPS, or local without synchronization.Using a local SNTP server without synchronization as primary or secondary serverin a redundant configuration is not recommended.

    2.4 IEC 61850-9-2LE Merging unit requirementsThe merging units that supply the IED with measured values via the process busmust fulfill the IEC61850-9-2LE standard.This part of the IEC61850 is specifying Communication Service Mapping(SCSM) Sampled values over ISO/IEC 8802, in other words sampled dataover Ethernet. The 9-2 part of the IEC61850 protocol uses also definitions from7-2, Basic communication structure for substation and feeder equipment Abstract communication service interface (ACSI). The set of functionalityimplemented in the IED (IEC61850-9-2LE) is a subset of the IEC61850-9-2. Forexample the IED covers the client part of the standard, not the server part.

  • The standard does not define the sample rate for data, but in the UCA users grouprecommendations there are indicated sample rates that are adopted, by consensus,in the industry.There are two sample rates defined: 80 samples/cycle (4000 samples/sec. at 50Hzor 4800 samples/sec. at 60 Hz) for a merging unit type1 and 256 samples/cyclefor a merging unit type2. The IED can receive data rates of 80 samples/cycle.Note that the IEC 61850-9-2 LE standard does not specify the quality of thesampled values, only the transportation. Thus, the accuracy of the current andvoltage inputs to the merging unit and the inaccuracy added by the merging unitmust be coordinated with the requirement for actual type of protection function.Factors influencing the accuracy of the sampled values from the merging unit arefor example anti aliasing filters, frequency range, step response, truncating, A/Dconversion inaccuracy, time tagging accuracy etc.In principle shall the accuracy of the current and voltage transformers, togetherwith the merging unit, have the same quality as direct input of currents and voltages.

    About this chapterThis chapter describes the use of the included software functions in the IED. Thechapter discusses application possibilities and gives guidelines for calculatingsettings for a particular application.

    3.1 General IED applicationRET670 provides fast and selective protection, monitoring and control for two- andthree-winding transformers, autotransformers, generator-transformer units, phaseshifting transformers, special railway transformers and shunt reactors. Thetransformer IED is designed to operate correctly over a wide frequency range inorder to accommodate power system frequency variations during disturbances andgenerator start-up and shut-down.A very fast differential protection function with settable CT ratio matching andvector group compensation makes this IED the ideal solution even for the mostdemanding applications. Since RET670 has very low requirements on the mainCTs, no interposing CTs are required.It is suitable for differential applications withmulti-breaker arrangements with up to six restraint CT inputs. The differentialprotection function is provided with 2nd harmonic and wave-block restraintfeatures to avoid tripping for magnetizing inrush current, and 5th harmonicrestraint to avoid tripping for overexcitation.The differential function offers a high sensitivity for low-level internal faults. Theunique and innovative sensitive differential protection feature of the RET670provides the best possible coverage for winding internal turn-to-turn faults, basedon the theory of symmetrical components .A low impedance restricted earth-fault protection function is available as acomplimentary sensitive and fast main protection against winding earth faults. Thisfunction includes a directional zero-sequence current criterion for additional security.Additionally a high impedance differential function is available. It can be used asrestricted earth fault or, as three functions are included, also as differentialprotection on autotransformers, as differential protection for a tertiary connectedreactor, as T-differential protection for the transformer feeder in a mesh-corner orring arrangement, as tertiary bus protection and so on.Tripping from pressure relief/Buchholz and temperature devices can be donethrough the transformer IED where pulsing, lock-out contact output and so on, is

The binary inputs are heavily stabilized against disturbance to preventincorrect operations at for example dc system capacitive discharges or DC earth faults.The binary inputs are heavily stabilized against disturbances to prevent incorrectoperations during for example during DC system capacitive discharges or DC earthfaults.

    Distance protection functionality for phase-to-phase and/or phase-to-earth faults isavailable as back-up protection for faults within the transformer and in theconnected power system.Versatile phase, earth, positive, negative and zero sequence overcurrent functions,which can optionally be made directional and/or voltage controlled, provide furtheralternative backup protection. Thermal overload with two time-constants, volts perhertz, over/under voltage and over/under frequency protection functions are alsoavailable.A built-in disturbance and event recorder provides valuable data to the user aboutstatus and operation for post-fault disturbance analysis.Breaker failure protection for each transformer breaker allows high speed back-uptripping of surrounding breakers.The transformer IED can also be provided with a full control and interlockingfunctionality including Synchrocheck function to allow integration of the main and/or a local back-up control.Out of Step function is available to separate power system sections close toelectrical centre at occurring out of step.RET670 can be used in applications with the IEC 61850-9-2LE process bus withup to two Merging Units (MU). Each MU has eight analogue channels, normallyfour current and four voltages. Conventional and Merging Unit channels can bemixed freely in your application.The advanced logic capability, where user logic is prepared with a graphical tool,allows special applications such as automatic opening of disconnectors in multi-breaker arrangements, closing of breaker rings, load transfer logic and so on. Thegraphical configuration tool ensures simple and fast testing and commissioning.Serial data communication is via optical connections to ensure immunity againstdisturbances.The wide application flexibility makes this product an excellent choice for bothnew installations and the refurbishment of existing installations.

  • 3.2 Analog inputs3.2.1 Introduction

    Analog input channels must be configured and set properly to get correctmeasurement results and correct protection operations. For power measuring andall directional and differential functions the directions of the input currents must bedefined properly. Measuring and protection algorithms in the IED use primarysystem quantities. Setting values are in primary quantities as well and it isimportant to set the data about the connected current and voltage transformersproperly.A reference PhaseAngleRef can be defined to facilitate service values reading. Thisanalog channels phase angle will always be fixed to zero degrees and all otherangle information will be shown in relation to this analog input. During testing andcommissioning of the IED the reference channel can be changed to facilitate testingand service values reading.

    The IED has the ability to receive analog values from primaryequipment, that are sampled by Merging units (MU) connected to aprocess bus, via the IEC 61850-9-2 LE protocol.

    The availability of VT inputs depends on the ordered transformerinput module (TRM) type.

    3.2.2 Setting guidelinesThe available setting parameters related to analog inputs aredepending on the actual hardware (TRM) and the logicconfiguration made in PCM600.

    3.2.2.1 Setting of the phase reference channelAll phase angles are calculated in relation to a defined reference. An appropriateanalog input channel is selected and used as phase reference. The parameterPhaseAngleRef defines the analog channel that is used as phase angle reference.

    ExampleThe setting PhaseAngleRef=10 shall be used if a phase-to-earth voltage (usuallythe L1 phase-to-earth voltage connected to VT channel number 10 of the analogcard) is selected to be the phase reference.

  • Setting of current channelsThe direction of a current to the IED is depending on the connection of the CT.Unless indicated otherwise, the main CTs are supposed to be star connected andcan be connected with the earthing point to the object or from the object. Thisinformation must be set in the IED. The convention of the directionality is definedas follows: A positive value of current, power, and so on means that the quantityhas the direction into the object and a negative value means direction out from theobject. For directional functions the direction into the object is defined as Forwardand the direction out from the object is defined as Reverse. See figure 1A positive value of current, power, and so on (forward) means that the quantity hasa direction towards the object. - A negative value of current, power, and so on(reverse) means a direction away from the object. See figure 1.

    Figure 2: Example how to set CTStarPoint parameters in the IEDThe figure 2 shows the normal case where the objects have their own CTs. Thesettings for CT direction shall be done according to the figure. To protect the linethe direction of the directional functions of the line protection shall be set toForward. This means that the protection is looking towards the line.

    Figure 3: Example how to set CTStarPoint parameters in the IEDThis example is similar to example 1, but here the transformer is feeding just oneline and the line protection uses the same CT as the transformer protection does.The CT direction is set with different reference objects for the two IEDs though itis the same current from the same CT that is feeding the two IEDs. With thesesettings the directional functions of the line protection shall be set to Forward tolook towards the line.

    Figure 4: Example how to set CTStarPoint parameters in the IEDIn this example one IED includes both transformer and line protection and the lineprotection uses the same CT as the transformer protection does. For both currentinput channels the CT direction is set with the transformer as reference object. Thismeans that the direction Forward for the line protection is towards the transformer.To look towards the line the direction of the directional functions of the lineprotection must be set to Reverse. The direction Forward/Reverse is related to thereference object that is the transformer in this case.When a function is set to Reverse and shall protect an object in reverse direction itshall be noted that some directional
