1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION The ekorRP range of protection, metering and control units brings together an entire family of different equipment, which depending on the model, may incorporate protection functions as well as other functions such as local control, remote control, electrical parameter metering, automation, etc., related to the current and future automation, control and protection needs of Transformer and Switching Substations. Its use in Ormazabals CGMCOSMOS, CGM-CGC and CGM.3 cubicle systems allows the configuration of customised products for meeting the diverse needs of the different installations. The ekorRP protection, metering and control units have been designed to meet the national and international standard requirements and recommendations that are applied to each of the parts that make up the unit:

EN 60255, EN 61000, EN 62271-200, EN 60068, EN 60044, IEC 60255, IEC 61000, IEC 62271-200, IEC 60068, IEC 60044

Designed to be integrated in a cubicle, the ekorRP units also provide the following advantages over conventional devices:

Reduction in handling of interconnections when installing the cubicle. The only connection required is limited to MV cables.

Minimisation of the need to install control boxes on the cubicles. Avoidance of wiring and installation errors; minimisation of commissioning time. All the units are factory installed, adjusted and checked; each piece of equipment (relay

+ control + sensors) also undergoes a comprehensive check before being installed. The final unit tests are carried out once the unit is incorporated in the cubicle before delivery.

They protect a broad power range with the same model (e.g.: ekorRPG from 160 kVA up to 15 MVA, in CGMCOSMOS system cubicles).

1.1. GENERAL FUNCTIONAL CHARACTERISTICS All the relays of the ekorRP units include a microprocessor for processing the signals from the metering sensors. They process current metering by eradicating the influence of transient phenomena and calculate the magnitudes needed for to carry out protection functions. In addition, the efficient electrical metering values, which provide the instantaneous value of these installation parameters, are determined. They are equipped with keypad for local display, setup and operation of the unit, as well as communication ports to handle these functions from a computer, whether locally or remotely. A user-friendly design has been employed, so that the use of the various menus is intuitive. The current is measured by means of several current sensors with a high transformation ratio, making it possible for the same equipment to detect a wide range of power levels. These transformers or current sensors maintain the accuracy class in all of their rated range.

The unit contains an events log where all of the latest trips made by the protection functions are registered. In addition, the total number of operations is saved as well as the unit's settings parameters. The local interface uses menus to provide the instantaneous values of the current metering for each phase and zero-sequence current, as well as the setting parameters, trip motives, etc. They can also be accessed via the communication ports. From a maintenance perspective, the ekorRP units have a series of features that reduce the time and the possibility of errors in the test and service restoration tasks. The main features include some toroidal-core current transformers with larger diameters and test connections; accessible and disconnectable terminal blocks for tests using current injection; and built-in test contacts, even in the basic models. 1.2. PARTS OF THE UNIT The parts that form the ekorRP protection, metering and control unit include the electronic relay, current sensors, power supply and test board, selfpowered toruses (only for selfpowered models) and the bistable trigger.

1.2.1. Electronic Relay The electronic relay has keys and a display to set and view the protection, metering and control parameters. It includes a seal on the SET key to ensure that once the settings have been made they cannot be changed unless the seal is broken. The protection trips are registered on the display with the following parameters: reason for tripping, fault current value, tripping time and the time and date the event occurred. Errors in the unit, such as a switch failure, incorrect thermometer connection, low battery, etc., are also shown permanently. The 'On' LED is activated when the equipment receives power from an external source or the self-powered transformers. In this situation, the unit is operational to perform the protection functions. If the 'On' LED is not activated, only the unit's parameters can be viewed and/or adjusted (function exclusively assigned to the relay's internal battery). The current analog signals are conditioned internally by small and very accurate transformers that isolate the electronic circuits from the rest of the installation. The equipment has two communication ports, one on the front used for local configuration (RS232), and another one on the rear used for remote control (RS485). The standard communication protocol for all models is MODBUS. Others may be used depending on the application. 1.2.2. Current Sensors The current sensors are toroidal-core current transformers with a 300/1 A or 1000/1 A ratio, depending on the models. Their range of action is the same as the switchgear where they are installed. They are factory-installed in the cubicle bushings, which significantly simplifies the on-site assembly and connection. This way, once the MV cables are connected to the cubicle, the installation protection is operational. There are no sensor installation errors, due to earthing grids, polarities, etc. since they are previously installed and tested at the factory. The inner diameter of the toroidal-core current transformers is 82 mm, which means they can be used in cables of up to 400 mm2 without any problems for performing maintenance testing afterwards. If the equipment is selfpowered, the toroidal transformers are equipped with some anchorage points to place them in the same area as the metering transformers, thus forming a single,

compact block. These transformers supply 1 W when the primary current is 5 A. This power is enough to allow the units to function correctly. All the current sensors have an integrated protection against the opening of secondary circuits, which prevents overvoltages. 1.2.3. Power Supply and Test Board The selfpowered equipment's power supply board prepares the selfpowered transformers' signal and converts it into a DC signal to safely power the equipment. The transformers permanently feed power from 5 to 630 primary amps to the board. It also has a 230 Vac input with 10 kV level of insulation. This input is for direct connection to the Transformer Substation's LVB. The power supply board of models with auxiliary power supply has an input for connecting both the AC (24 to 110 Vac) and DC (24 to 125 Vdc) power supply. The board prepares the signal, converting it into a DC signal suitable for safely powering the equipment. Furthermore, both types of board have a built-in protection trip test circuit as well as connectors for carrying out current injection functional tests during maintenance and checking operations. The units also have a protection device for absorbing the excess energy produced by the transformers when there are short-circuits up to 20 kA. 1.2.4. Bistable trigger The bistable trigger is an electromechanical actuator that is integrated into the switch driving mechanism. This trigger acts upon the switch when there is a protection trip. It is characterised by the low actuation power it requires for tripping. This energy is received in the form of pulses lasting 50 ms and with an amplitude of 12 V. When there is a fault, these pulses are repeated every 400 ms to ensure that the switch opens.

1.3. COMMUNICATIONS AND PROGRAMMING SOFTWARE All the ekorRP units have two serial communication ports. The standard RS232 front port is used to set the local parameters with the ekorSOFT program[1]. At the rear, there is an RS485 port which is used for remote control. The standard communication protocol implemented in all equipment is MODBUS-RTU (binary) transmission mode, although other specific protocols can be implemented depending on the application. This protocol has the advantage of greater information density than other modes, resulting in a higher transmission rate for the same communication speed. Each message must be transmitted as a continuous string and the silences are used to detect the end of the message.

[1]For more information about the ekorSOFT program, consult Ormazabals IG-155 document.

2. APPLICATIONS 2.1. TRANSFORMER PROTECTION The distribution transformers require various protection functions. Their selection depends primarily on the power and level of responsibility they have in the installation. As an example, the protection functions that must be implemented to protect distribution transformers with a power rating between 160 kVA and 2 MVA are the following:

50 Instantaneous phase overcurrent. Protects against short-circuits between phases in the primary circuit, or high value short-circuit currents between phases on the secondary side. This function is performed by the fuses when the protection cubicle does not include a circuit-breaker.

51 Phase overload. Protects against excessive overloads, which can deteriorate the transformer, or against short-circuits in several turns of the primary windings.

50N Instantaneous earth fault. Protects against phase to earth short-circuits or secondary winding short-circuits, from the primary interconnections and windings.

51N Earth Leakage. Protects against highly resistive faults from the primary to earth or to the secondary.

49T Thermometer. Protects against excessive transformer temperature.

2.2. GENERAL PROTECTION The client supply installations require general protection to ensure that an installation is disconnected from the rest of the network in the event of a fault. In this way, the Utility's supply line will remain energised and other clients will remain unaffected. It also protects the client's installation by disconnecting it from the power source in the event of a fault. In this type of protection, all the faults detected in the substation's main circuit breaker should be simultaneously detected in the transformer substations so that they can be cleared before the line trips (protection selectivity).

50 Instantaneous phase overcurrent. Protects against short-circuits between phases.

51 Phase overload. Protects against excessive overloads, which can deteriorate the installation. It is also used as a limiting device to control the supply's maximum power.

50N Instantaneous earth fault. Protects against phase-to-earth short-circuits.

51N Earth leakage. Protects against highly resistive faults between phase and earth. The following protection units provide the above-mentioned functions:

2.3. LINE PROTECTION The purpose of the line protection is to isolate this part of the network in case of fault, without it affecting the rest of the lines. Generally, it covers any fault that originates between the Substation, or Switching Substation, and the consumption points. The types of fault that occur in these areas of the network primarily depend on the nature of the line, overhead line or cable and the neutral used. In networks with overhead lines, most faults are transitory. Hence, many line reclosings are effective. On the other hand, in case of phase-to-earth faults in overhead lines, when the ground resistance is very high, the zero-sequence fault currents have a very low value In these cases, an ultrasensitive neutral current detection is required. The underground cables have earth coupling capacities, which causes the single phase faults to include capacitive currents. This phenomenon makes detection difficult in isolated or resonant earthed neutral networks and thus requires the use of the directional function. Line protection is mainly accomplished by the following functions:

50 Instantaneous phase overcurrent. Protects against short-circuits between phases.

51 Phase overload. Protects against excessive overloads, which can deteriorate the installation.

50N Instantaneous earth fault. Protects against phase-to-earth short-circuits.

51N Earth leakage. Protects against highly resistive faults between phase and earth.

50Ns Ultrasensitive earth instantaneous overcurrent. Protects against phase to earth short-circuits of very low value.

51Ns Ultrasensitive earth leakage protection. Protects against highly resistive faults between phase and earth of very low value.

3. PROTECTION FUNCTIONS 3.1. OVERCURRENT The units have an overcurrent function for each one of the phases (3 x 50-51) and, depending on the model, they may have another one for earth (50N-51N). The implemented protection curves are the ones listed in standard IEC 60255.

Overcurrent functions that can be performed depending on the model:

Overload multicurve protection for phases (51).

Protection of phase-to-earth multicurve faults (51N).

Short-circuit protection (instantaneous) at a defined time between phases (50).

Short-circuit protection (instantaneous) at a defined time between phase and earth (50N).

Meaning of the curve parameters for phase settings:

t(s) Theoretical tripping time for a fault which evolves with a constant current value. I Actual current flowing through the phase with the largest amplitude. In Rated setting current. I> Withstand overload increment. K Curve factor. I>> Short-circuit current factor (instantaneous). T>> Short-circuit delay time (instantaneous).

Pick-up current value of NI, VI, and EI curves = 1.1 x In x I>

Pick-up current value of DT curve = 1.0 x In x I>

Instantaneous pick-up current value = In x I> x I>>

In the case of earth settings, the parameters are similar to the phase settings. Each of them is described below.

to(s) Theoretical tripping time for an earth fault which evolves with a constant current value I0.

Io Actual current flowing to earth. In Rated phase setting current. Io> Withstand earth leakage factor (phase). Ko Curve factor. Io>> Short-circuit current factor (instantaneous). To>> Short-circuit delay time (instantaneous).

Pick-up current value of NI, VI, and EI curves = 1,1 x In x Io>

Pick-up current value of DT curve = 1,0 x In x Io>

Instantaneous pick-up current value = In x Io> x Io>>

3.2. THERMOMETER (EXTERNAL TRIP) The equipment has an input for connecting volt-free contacts and tripping the switch. This input is protected against erroneous connections (e.g. 230 Vac) showing an error code on the display when this anomaly occurs. The switch trips when the volt-free contact is closed for at least 200 ms. This prevents untimely tripping due to external disturbances. External tripping protection is disabled when all of the overcurrent protection functions are disabled (for firmware version 18 or later). In this situation, the relay will not trip the switch but a flashing arrow will appear at the top of the display screen to show that the external trip contact is closed (see section 8.4). The purpose of this function is to protect the transformers' maximum temperature. The trip input is associated to contact of the thermometer which measures the oil's temperature and when the maximum set value is reached, its associated contact closes and the switch trips. Unlike conventional coils, it has the advantage of not having low-voltage network connections with the consequent overvoltages generated in the control circuits. This trip input can also be associated to output contacts of remote control terminals, alarms and auxiliary relays responsible for opening the switch. 3.3. EARTH ULTRASENSITIVE DEVICE This protection corresponds to a particular type of overcurrent protections. It is primarily used in networks with isolated or resonant earthed neutral, where the phase-to-earth fault current value depends on the system cable capacity value and on the point in which the fault occurs. Generally, in Medium Voltage private installations with short cable stretches, simply determine a minimum zero-sequence current threshold at which the protection must trip.

IG-159-GBversion 07

The current flowing to earth is detected using a toroidal-core current transformer which covers the three phases. In this way, the metering is independent from the phase current, thus avoiding errors in the phase metering transformers. In general, this type of protection must be used when the set earth current is less than 10% of the rated phase current (for example: for a rated phase current of 400 A with earth faults below 40 A). On the other hand, in the lines, whose cable stretches are usually long, it is necessary to identify the fault direction. Otherwise, trips can occur due to capacitive currents from other lines, when there is not any fault in the line. The available curves are: normally inverse (NI), very inverse (VI), extremely inverse (EI) and defined time (DT). The setting parameters are the same as in the earth faults of the overcurrent functions (section 3.1 Overcurrent), with the exception that factor Io> is replaced with the value directly in amps Ig. This way, this parameter can be set to very low earth current values, regardless of the phase setting current.

Pick-up current value of NI, VI, and EI curves = 1.1x Ig

Pick-up current value of DT curve = Ig

Instantaneous pick-up current value = Ig x Io>>

4. METERING FUNCTIONS 4.1. CURRENT The current values measured by the ekorRP units correspond to the efficient values of each of the phases I1, I2 and I3. Eight samples from a half-period are used and the mean of five consecutive values is calculated. This measurement is updated every second. It offers Class 1 meter accuracy, from 5 A up to 120% of the current sensors maximum rated range. The zero-sequence current measurement Io is performed in the same way as the phase currents.

Current meters: I1, I2, I3 and Io

5. SENSORS 5.1. CURRENT SENSORS The electronic current transformers are designed for optimal adaptation to digital equipment technology, with a slight modification of the secondary interface. Therefore, the protection, metering and control equipment for these sensors operate with the same algorithms and with the same consistency as conventional devices.

The low power outputs from the sensors can be adapted to standard values using external amplifiers. In this way, you can use conventional equipment or electronic relays.

Main advantages derived from the use of sensor based systems:

Small volume.The decreased power consumption of these transformers allows their volume to be drastically reduced.

Improved accuracy. Signal acquisition is much more accurate due to high transformation ratios.

Wide range. When there are power increases in the installation, the sensors do not have to be replaced with ones having a greater ratio.

Greater safety. The open-air live parts disappear, increasing personnel safety.

Greater reliability. The full insulation of the whole installation provides greater levels of protection against external agents.

Easy maintenance. The sensors do not need to be disconnected when the cable or cubicle is being tested.

5.1.1. Functional Characteristics of Current Sensors The current sensors are toroidal-core current transformers with a high transformation ratio and low rated burden. These sensors are encapsulated in self-extinguishing polyurethane resin.

7.3. ekorRPT UNITS 7.3.1. Functional description The ekorRPT protection, metering and control unit is used for the protection of distribution transformers. It is installed in fuse-combination switch cubicles so the electronic system performs all the protection functions, except high polyphase short-circuit values, which are cleared by the fuses. When an overcurrent that is within the values that the load break switch can open is detected, the relay acts upon a low power bistable trigger that opens the switch. If the fault current is greater than the breaking capacity of the load break switch[2], the switch trip is blocked so that the fuses will blow. On the other hand, the equipment is disconnected and the fuses do not remain energised.

Selection process for the ekorRPT unit protection parameters in CGMCOSMOS-P cubicles: 1. Determine the required fuse rating to protect the transformer in accordance with the fuse

table in Ormazabals document IG-078. The maximum ratings that can be used are 160 A for voltages up to and including 12 kV, and 125 A for voltages up to and including 24 kV.

2. Calculate the transformer rated current In = S/3xUn. 3. Define the continuous overload level I>. Normal values in transformers of up to 2000 kVA

are 20% for distribution installations and 5% for power generation installations. 4. Select the transitory overload curve. Coordination between relay curves and LV fuses is

performed with the EI type curve. 5. Define the delay time in transitory overload K. This parameter is defined by the

transformers thermal constant. This way, the greater the constant, the longer it takes for the transformers temperature to increase under an overload condition; and therefore, the protection trigger can be delayed longer. The usual value for distribution transformers is K = 0.2, which means that it trips in 2 s if the overload is 300% in the EI curve.

6. Short-circuit level I>>. The maximum value of the transformers magnetisation current must be determined. The current peak produced when a no-load transformer is connected, due to the effect of a magnetised nucleus, is several times greater than the rated current. This peak value, up to 12 times the rated value (10 times for more than

1000 kVA) has a very high harmonic content, so its fundamental 50 Hz component is much less. Therefore, a usual setting value for this parameter is between 7 and 10.

7. Instantaneous time delay T>>. This value corresponds with the protection trip time in the event a short-circuit occurs. It depends on the coordination with other protections and the usual values are between 0.1 and 0.5 s. If the short-circuit value is high, the fuses will act in the time determined by their characteristic curve.

8. Determine the current value in case of secondary three-phase short-circuit. This fault must be cleared by the fuses, and it corresponds with the intersection points maximum value between the relay and the fuse curves. If the intersection point is greater than the secondary short-circuit value, the settings must be adjusted to meet this requirement.

To select the ekorRPT unit protection parameters in CGM-CMP-F and CGM.3-P cubicles, the steps to follow are similar to those proposed in the paragraphs above, except for the first step. The fuse rating required to protect the transformer is determined according to the fuse table of Ormazabals documents IG-034 and IG-136 respectively. Please take into consideration that the minimum protection powers are listed in the table above. In case of protecting a transformer with following characteristics in CGMCOSMOS cubicle system:

S = 1250 kVA, Un =15 kV and Uk = 5% Follow the procedure below for proper coordination between the fuses and the protection relay:

The earth unit setting depends on the characteristics of the line where the unit is installed. In general, the earth fault values are high enough to be detected as overcurrent. Even in isolated or resonant earthed neutral networks, the fault value in transformer protection installations is clearly different from the capacitive currents of the lines. This way, the transformer protection ekorRPT units are used in isolated neutral networks that do not require the directional function. The values of the setting parameters must guarantee selectivity with the main switch protections. Given the variety of protection criteria and types of neutral used in the networks, it does not exist a single parameterisation; each case requires a specific parameterisation. For transformers up to 2000 kVA, the settings below are given as a general example. It must be ensured that they properly apply to the protections upstream (general, line or main switch protections, among others.)

7.3.3. Installation in a Cubicle The integral parts of the ekorRPT units are the electronic relay, the power supply and test board, the bistable trigger and the current sensors.

The electronic relay is fixed to the cubicle driving mechanism using anchors. The front of the equipment, which contains the components of the user interface, display, keys, communication ports, etc., is accessible from the outside without the need to remove the mechanism enclosure. The rear contains the X1 and X2 connectors, as well as the wiring that connects it to the power supply board. .

IG-159-GB version 07 20.09.2012

All of the signals that come from the relay go through the board. Hence, the board enables the unit to be checked. Furthermore, there is a volt-free contact (J3) which is activated simultaneously with the relay trip. This enables to use conventional current injection equipment for testing the protection relays. The selfpowered transformers are also connected to the power supply board using the J7 connector in the selfpowered relays. The signal transformers are connected to the board's J8 connector, the function being to inject current into the secondary in order to test the relay. The ekorRPT protection, metering and control unit has three connectors (J1, J3 and J4) to which the user can connect. They are situated on the upper part of the power supply and test board and their functions are as follows:

Connector Name Functions Normal use

J1 EXT. TRIP

It must be connected to an NO, volt-free contact. When it is activated, the protection device trips if an overcurrent protection function is activated.

Transformer THERMOMETER.

J3 TRIP This is an NO, volt-free contact which is activated when the protection device is tripped. It also works in self powered mode.

Protection unit TEST. Trip SIGNAL for remotely-controlled installations

J4 V. AUX

Auxiliary power supply input: 230 Vac for selfpowered units and 24 to 125 Vdc or 24 to 110 Vac for those with auxiliary power supply (10 kV insulated in relation to the rest of the equipment, in self powered models).

7.3.5. Installation of Toroidal-core current transformers The installation of toroidal-core current transformers requires special attention. It is the main cause of untimely tripping problems, and its improper operation can cause trips that go undetected during commissioning. Aspects that must be considered in the installation:

The toroidal-core current transformers are installed on the outgoing cables of the cubicle. The inner diameter is 82 mm, which means that MV cables can easily pass through the inside.

The earthing screen MUST go through the toroidal-core current transformer when it comes out of the part of cable remaining above the toroidal-core current transformer. In this case, the braided pair goes through the inside of the toroidal-core current transformer before it is connected to the earthing of the cubicle. The braided pair must not touch any metal part, such as the cable support or other areas of the cable compartment, before it is connected to the cubicle's earth.

The earthing screen must NOT go through the toroidal-core current transformer when it comes out of the part of cable remaining under the toroidal-core current transformer. In this case, the braided pair is connected directly to the earthing collector of the cubicle. If there is no braided pair for the earthing screen because it is connected at the other end (as in metering cubicles), the twisted pair should also not go through the toroidal-core current transformer.

7.3.6. Checking and Maintenance The ekorRPT protection, metering and control unit is designed to perform the operating test necessary for both commissioning and regular maintenance checks. Several levels of checks are available depending on the possibility of interrupting service and accessing the MV cubicle cable compartment.

Check through the primary: This case corresponds to the tests that are performed on the equipment when it is completely shut down, since it involves actuating the switch-disconnector and earthing the cubicle outgoing cables. When current is injected through the toroidal-core current transformers, you must check that the protection opens the switch within the selected time. In addition, you must make sure that the tripping indications are correct and that all the events are being recorded in the history log.

CAUTION To perform this check, the unit must be powered up. Hence more than 5 A must be injected, or it must be connected to 230 Vac for self powered relays. As regards those which have auxiliary power supply, feed the voltage through the board's J4 connector.

Earth screen: it must pass through the inside of the toroidal-core

of 84



IG-159-GBversion 07

20.09.2012

To perform this check, follow the steps indicated below:

- Open the cubicles switch-disconnector and then earth the output. - Access the cable compartment and pass a test cable through the toroidal-core

current transformers. - Connect the test cable to the current circuit of the tester. - Connect the power supply board's J3 connector to the tester's timer stopper input. - Open the earthing switch and close the switch. Reset the latch and remove the

actuating lever in order to leave the cubicle ready for tripping. - Inject the test currents and verify the tripping times are correct. Check that the

trips are correctly displayed.

For phase trips, the test cable must pass through two toroidal-core current transformers. The cable must pass through each of them in opposite direction; in other words, if in the first one current flows up bottom, in the other it must flow bottom up so that the sum of the two currents equals zero and no earth trip occur.

For earth trips, the test cable is passed through a single toroidal-core current transformer (zero-sequence or phase toroidal, depending on whether a zero-sequence toroidal is available or not). Trip tests must be performed for all toroidal-core current transformers to check the proper operation of the complete unit.

Check through the secondary. In this case, the tests are performed on the equipment when the cable compartment is not accessible. This occurs because the cubicle outgoing cables are energised and cannot be connected to earth. In this case, it is not possible to feed a test cable through the toroidal transformers and current must be injected from the power supply board. This testing method is much better than using testing equipment (normally more than 100 A).


- Access the control's upper compartment where the power supply board is located. - Disconnect the bistable trigger. - Disconnect the blue, brown, black and earth cables of the J8 connector,

corresponding to points J8-6, J8-8, J8-10 and J8-1 respectively. - Connect the previously disconnected cables to the earth points N of connector J8-

3. This operation will short-circuit the current transformers' secondary circuitry.

84

IG-159-GB version 07 20.09.2012

- Connect the power supply to the J4 connector: 230 Vac for selfpowered units and 24 to 125 Vdc or 24 to 110 Vac for auxiliary power supply units.

- Connect the test cable to the J8 connector, bearing in mind the following ratio between the connector's points and the phases:

Current through L1 J8-6 and J8-1. Current through L2 J8-8 and J8-1. Current through L3 J8-10 and J8-1. Current through L1 and L2 (without earthing current) - J8-6 and J8-8. Current through L1 and L3 (without earthing current) - J8-6 and J8-10. Current through L2 and L3 (without earthing current) - J8-8 and J8-10.

- Connect the test cable to the current circuit of the tester. - Connect the power supply board's J3 connector to the tester's timer stopper input. - If the switch can be opened, put it in closed position. Reset the latch and remove

the actuating lever in order to leave the cubicle ready for tripping and connect the bistable trigger. If the switch cannot be operated, the bistable trigger should remain disconnected and the checking process should be performed as shown in next section: Check without switch operation.

- Inject the secondary test currents taking into account that the transformation ratio is 300/1 A. Check that the trip times are correct. Check that the trips are correctly displayed.

NOTE It is advisable to perform the CHECK THROUGH THE PRIMARY or the CHECK THROUGH THE SECONDARY annually to guarantee correct equipment operation.

Check without operating the switch. In many occasions, the protection cubicle switch cannot be operated and therefore, the maintenance checks are performed exclusively on the electronic unit. In these cases, the following points shall be considered:

- Always disconnect the bistable trigger. This way, the relay can trip without acting upon the opening mechanism.

- Inject the current according to the section above "Check through the secondary". - The toroidal-core current transformers can be verified if the approximate

consumption is known. The current that circulates through the secondary J8-6 (blue), J8-8 (brown) and J8-10 (black) must correspond to the 300/1 A ratio.

- As regards selfpowered relays, check that the selfpowered transformers provide the operating power needed by the relay, if the primary current is greater than 5 A. To do this, check that the voltage in connector J7 (between points 1- blue and 2- brown) is greater than 10 Vdc.

(1) For CGM-CGC and CGM.3 system cubicles Selection process for the ekorRPG unit protection parameters in CGMCOSMOS-V, CGM-CMP-V and CGM.3-V cubicles:

1. Determine the system power to be protected and select the ekorRPG model in

accordance with the table above. 2. Calculate the rated current In = S/3xUn. 3. Define the continuous overload level I>. Normal values in transformers of up to 2000 kVA

are 20% for distribution installations and 5% for power generation installations. 4. Select the transitory overload curve. Coordination between relay curves and LV fuses is

performed with the EI type curve. 5. Define the delay time in transitory overload K. This parameter is defined by the

transformers thermal constant. This way, the greater the constant, the longer it takes for the transformers temperature to increase under an overload condition; and therefore, the protection trigger can be delayed longer. The normal value for distribution transformers is K = 0.2, which means that it trips in 2 s if the overload is 300% in the EI curve.

6. Short-circuit level I>>. The maximum value of the transformers magnetisation current must be determined. The current peak produced when a no-load transformer is connected, due to the effect of a magnetised nucleus, is several times greater than the rated current. This peak value, up to 12 times the rated value (10 times for more than 1000 kVA) has a very high harmonic content, so its fundamental 50 Hz component is much less. So, a normal setting value for this parameter is between 7 and 10. In the case of general protections for several transformers, this value can be lower.

7. Instantaneous time delay T>>. This value corresponds with the protection trip time in the event a short-circuit occurs. It depends on the coordination with other protections and the normal values are between 0.1 and 0.5 s.

In the case of a general protection for two transformers, 1000 kVA each:

S = 2000 kVA, Un =15 kV The steps to follow for proper setting of the protection relay are the following:

Rated current. In = S / 3 x Un = 2000 kVA / 3 x 15 kV 77 A

Transitory overload factor. K =0.2

Short-circuit level. In x I> x I>> = 77 A x 1.2 x 10 924 A

Instantaneous time delay T>> = 0.1 s The earth unit setting depends on the characteristics of the network where the equipment is installed. In general, the earth fault values are high enough to be detected as overcurrent. In the isolated or resonant earthed neutral networks, when the fault value is very low, in other words, when the earth protection is set to a value below 10% of the rated phase current, it is recommended that an ultrasensitive earth protection be used. The values of the setting parameters must guarantee selectivity with the main switch protections. Given the variety of protection criteria and types of neutral used in the networks, it does not exist a single parameterisation; each case requires a specific parameterisation. For transformers up to 2000 kVA, the settings below are given as a general example. It must be ensured that they properly apply to the protections upstream (general, line or main switch protections, among others.)

7.4.3. Installation in a Cubicle The integral parts of the ekorRPG units are the electronic relay, the power supply and test board and flip-flop trigger and the current sensors. The electronic relay is fixed to the cubicle driving mechanism using anchors. The front of the equipment, which contains the components of the user interface, display, keys, communication ports, etc., is accessible from the outside without the need to remove the driving mechanism enclosure. The rear contains the X1 and X2 connectors (see section 7.4.4) as well as the wiring that connects it to the power supply board. The signals that are operational for the user are located on a terminal block that can be short-circuited and accessed from the upper part of the cubicle. Furthermore, there is a volt-free contact (G3-G4) which is simultaneously activated with the relay trip. This enables to use conventional current injection equipment for testing the protection relays. The functionality of the terminal block G for connecting the user is described below. Terminals Name Functions Normal Use

G1-G2 V.AUX

Auxiliary power supply input: 230 Vac for selfpowered units and 24 to 125 Vdc or 24 to 110 Vac for those with auxiliary power supply (10 kV insulated in relation to the rest of the equipment, in self powered models).

7.4.5. Installation of Toroidal-core current transformers In CGMCOSMOS-V, CGM-CMP-V and CGM.3-V cubicles, the current transformers are installed in the cubicle bushings. Therefore there are no problems with connection errors in the earthing grid. Additionally, these toroidal-core current transformers are equipped with a test connection for conducting maintenance operations. The terminals that can be used with the toroidal-core current transformers mounted in the bushings are as follows:

7.4.6. Checking and Maintenance The ekorRPG protection, metering and control unit is designed to perform the operating test necessary for both commissioning and regular maintenance checks. Several levels of checks are available depending on the possibility of interrupting service and accessing the MV cubicle cable compartment.

Check through the primary: In this case the tests are performed on the equipment when it is completely shut down, since it involves actuating the circuit-breaker and earthing the cubicle outgoing cables. When current is injected through the toroidal-core current transformers, you must check that the protection opens the circuit-breaker within the selected time. In addition, you must make sure that the tripping indications are correct and that all the events are being recorded in the history log.

CAUTION

To perform this check, the unit must be powered up. Hence more than 5 A must be injected, or it must be connected to 230 Vac for selfpowered relays. As regards those which have auxiliary power supply, feed the voltage through the board's J4 connector.


- Open the cubicles circuit-breaker. Close the earthing switch and then close the circuit-breaker for an effective earthing.

- Access the cable compartment and connect the test cable to the test connector of the toroidal-core current transformers.

- Connect the test cable to the current circuit of the tester. - Connect terminals G3-G4 to the tester's timer stopper input. - Open the circuit-breaker. Open the earthing switch and then close the circuit-

breaker. To open the circuit-breaker using the protection unit, the earthing switch must be open.

- Inject the test currents and verify the tripping times are correct. Check that the trips are correctly displayed.

In order to detect phase trips, the test cable must be connected to the test bars of two toroidal-core current transformers. The current must go through each one in opposite directions. In other words, if the current flows up bottom in one of the test cables, in the other it must flow bottom up so that the sum of the two currents is zero and no earth fault trips occur. For earth trips, the test cable is connected to a single toroidal-core current transformer (zero-sequence or phase toroidal transformer, depending on whether a zero-sequence toroidal is available or not). Trip tests must be performed for all toroidal-core current transformers to check the proper operation of the complete unit.

IG-159-GB version 07 20.09.2012

Check through the secondary with circuit-breaker operation: In this case, the tests are performed on the equipment when the cable compartment is not accessible. This occurs because the cubicle outgoing cables are energised and cannot be connected to earth. In this case, the test cable cannot be connected to the test connection in the toroidal-core current transformers and the current injection is performed through the test terminal block. This testing method is also used when the primary current values being tested are much greater than those produced by test equipment (normally greater than 100 A). To perform this check, follow the steps indicated below:

- Access the driving mechanism upper compartment where the checks and test terminal block is located.

- Disconnect the bistable trigger. - Short-circuit, and then disconnect current circuit terminals G7, G8, G9, G10, G11

and G12. This procedure short-circuits the current transformer secondaries. - Connect the power supply to the G1-G2 connector: 230 Vac for selfpowered units

and 24 to 125Vdc or 24 to 110 Vac for auxiliary power supply units. - Connect the test cable to terminals G7 to G12, taking into account the following

relation between the connector's points and the phases. Current through L1 G7 and G12. Current through L2 G8 and G12. Current through L3 G9 and G12. Current through L1 and L2 (without earthing current) - G7 and G8. Current through L1 and L3 (without earthing current) - G7 and G9. Current through L2 and L3 (without earthing current) - G8 and G9.

- Connect the test cable to the current circuit of the tester. - Connect the G3-G4 connector to the tester's timer stopper input. - If the circuit-breaker can be opened, put it in closed position. If the circuit-breaker

cannot be operated, make sure the bistable trigger remains disconnected, and start the check as explained in the following section "Check without circuit-breaker operation".

- Inject the secondary test currents taking into account that the transformation ratio is 300/1 A or 1000/1 A, depending on the model. Verify the tripping times are correct. Check that the trips are correctly displayed.

Check through the secondary without circuit-breaker operation: In many occasions, the protection cubicle circuit-breaker cannot be operated and therefore, the maintenance checks are performed exclusively on the electronic unit. In theses cases, the following points shall be considered:

- Always disconnect the bistable trigger. This way, the relay can trip without acting upon the opening mechanism.

- Inject the current according to the section above "Check through the secondary with circuit-breaker operation".

- The toroidal-core current transformers can be verified if the approximate consumption is known. The current that circulates through the G7 (blue), G8 (brown) and G9 (black) secondaries must correspond to the ratio of 300/1 A or 1000/1 A.

- As regards selfpowered relays, check that the selfpowered transformers provide the operating power needed by the relay, if the primary current is greater than 5 A. To do this, check that the voltage in connector J7 (between points 1- blue and 2- brown) is greater than 10 Vdc.

8. SETTING AND HANDLING MENUS 8.1. KEYPAD AND ALPHANUMERIC DISPLAY

As can be seen in the image, the ekorRP protection, metering and control units have a total of 6 keys:

SET: gives access to the Parameter Setting mode. In addition, the key has a confirmation function within the various menus of the 'Parameter Setting' mode. This function is explained in greater detail in this section.

ESC: This key allows the user to return to the main screen ('Display') from any screen without saving changes made to the settings up to this point. Using this key, the unit's trip indications can be reset.

Scrolling keys: The Up and Down arrows enable the user to scroll through the different menus and change values. The 'Right' and 'Left' arrows allow values in the 'Parameter Setting' menu to be selected for modification, as detailed later.

Along with the keypad, the relays have an alphanumeric display which makes it easier to use them. To save energy, the relay has a standby mode (display switched off), which starts to operate any time the relay does not receive an external signal for 1 minute (pressing of any key, except the SET key, or communication via RS-232), or for 2 minutes if the user is modifying the parameters in the Parameter Setting mode. Likewise, if either type of external signal is received (pressing of the ESC, arrow up, down, left or right keys; or communication via RS-232) the relay will exit the standby mode and return to its active status, as long as the relay remains powered.

8.2. DISPLAY The 'Display' mode is the normal mode of the relay when in operation. Its main function is to allow the user to view various unit parameters which can be summarised in 4 groups:

Current metering

Viewing the setting values

Values of the last and penultimate trip

Current date and time The Display mode is shown by default in the relay, both when it is switched on and when it returns from its standby status, or when pressing the ESC key from any screen. In this operating mode, the Up and Down keys are enabled so that the user can scroll through the various parameters in the Display mode. The SET key gives access to the Parameter Setting mode. The following figure shows an example of several 'Display' mode screens for the ekorRPunits. The screens shown in the relay display consist of two data lines. The first indicates the parameter for the specific screen; the second establishes the value of this parameter. Additionally, error codes can be indicated in both the display screen and the two data lines (refer to section 8.5: Error codes). These indications are displayed with the other indications. A table with the Display mode parameters sequence is shown below. This table includes the text that appears on the first line of the relay display, along with an explanation of the corresponding parameter.

8.3. PARAMETER SETTING The 'Parameter Setting' menu can be accessed from any screen of the 'Display' menu by pressing the SET key. The protection remains operational with the initial parameters, until the user returns to the Display menu by pressing on the SET key again. As a precautionary measure, the Parameter Setting menu is protected by a password, which is entered each time the user wishes to access this menu. By default, all of the ekorRP units have the password 0000. This password can be modified by the user as explained further on. This menu allows the user to make changes to various relay parameters. These parameters can be grouped as follows:

Parameters for the protection and detection functions

Date and time

Communication parameters

Information on the number of trips

Password change When the relay is in the 'Parameter Setting menu, the indication SET on the lower middle section of the relay screen allows the user to identify the menu quickly. 8.3.1. Protection parameters The ekorRP units include two methods for selecting the setting parameters. manual and automatic. The manual method consists of entering each protection parameter one by one. On the other hand, the automatic method makes the parameter entry easier and quicker for the user. In this method, the user simply enters 2 pieces of data: Installation transformer power (Pt), and line voltage (Tr). From these 2 pieces of data, the relay sets the parameters according to:

)3(

r

tn T

PI

The selected full load current value is achieved by always rounding up the value.

Trip Time 0,1(*) Trip Time 0,1(*) Tripping Enabled DT Tripping Enabled DT

(*) For protection using the ekorRPT-101, 201 or 301 models with 5-100 A range toruses, the short-circuit factor is 7 and the instantaneous tripping time is 0.4. 8.3.2. Parameter Setting Menu When accessing the Parameter Setting menu through the SET key, the relay requests a password. The settings introduction area is accessed once it is verified that the password is correct. At this moment, manual configuration (CONF PAR) or automatic configuration (CONF TRAF) must be selected. You can change from one to the other using the right and left keys. Press the SET key to select the desired option. The diagram on the right graphically explains this process.

Once inside any of the two settings entry areas, the user can move from one parameter to another using the up and down keys, the same as in the Display mode. Press the ESC or SET key to exit this menu and access the Display menu. The ESC key will disregard all setting changes made previously, whereas the SET key will save all data before continuing.

To change a setting, proceed as follows: 1. Display the setting to be changed on the screen. 2. Press the Left or Right keys. The data will start to flash. 3. Adjust the value required with the 'Up' and 'Down' keys. If the setting

is numeric, the blinking number can be changed with the 'Left' or 'Right' keys.

4. To exit, press SET (save and exit), or ESC (clear changes and exit). The password can be modified by first entering the current password. The process is explained graphically in the diagram on the right. As shown in this diagram, password modification consists of four steps.

The two following tables show the protection parameters in the Parameter Setting menu, along with an explanation of each of them and the values they can have. This information is shown for each of the two setting modes: manual or automatic.
