3 Using the Converter

The GE Multilin T60 XRIO converter can be used as a stand-alone converter or in association with a relay specific test template, for example with the OMICRON Transformer Differential Protection template for the T60 relay.

In any way the converter is used, follow the quick start instructions and create your test using LinkToXRIO or start using the relay specific test template (for more information, see the test template documentation).

4 Required Software Version

To use this converter, you must have a valid license for the OMICRON Test Universe 3.00 software.

5 Functional Range

The GE Multilin T60 XRIO converter implements the following functions:

87 Differential Protection

50P Phase Instantaneous Overcurrent

50N Neutral Ground Instantaneous Overcurrent

50G Residual Ground Instantaneous Overcurrent

51P Phase Time Overcurrent

51N Neutral Ground Time Overcurrent

51G Residual Ground Time Overcurrent

Figure 2: Functional range of the GE Multilin T60 XRIO converter

Some of the functions listed above are using the RIO interface of the Test Universe software. Consequently, the test modules are configured automatically without using LinkToXRIO.

The following functions are using the RIO interface:



87 Differential Protection

50P Phase Instantaneous Overcurrent

50N Neutral Ground Instantaneous Overcurrent

50G Residual Ground Instantaneous Overcurrent

51P Phase Time Overcurrent

51N Neutral Ground Time Overcurrent

51G Residual Ground Time Overcurrent

For testing the other functions, you must use LinkToXRIO function.

6 Not Supported Functions

The following functions are currently not supported:

Distance Protection

Power Swing Detect

Load Encroachment

Transformer Hottest Spot

Transformer Aging Factor

Transformer Loss of Life

Phase Directional Overcurrent

Neutral Directional Overcurrent

Restricted Ground Fault Protection

Voltage Elements Protection (Phase, Neutral and Auxiliary UV,OV – V/F)

FlexCurves

7 OMICRON Test Strategy

The OMICRON test strategy is described in the OMICRON Protection Test Template (PTT) Transformer Differential documentation. For detailed information, see the PTT Transformer Differential documentation.

8 Converter Structure

The converter is divided into two sections: the T60 section and the RIO section. Both sections consist of several function blocks.

Note: Winding1 is fixed to Source1 which gets its current from CT F1.

Winding2 is fixed to Source2 which gets its current from CT M1.

Winding3 is fixed to Source3 which gets its current from CT F5.

Winding1 OC stages are: TOC1, IOC1 and IOC2 for Phase, Neutral and Ground.



TOC2, TOC4, TOC6 for Phase, Neutral and Ground OC are not tested.

*** In case of having different current input configurations, please input your settings in such a way that the fixed windings and sources fit exactly the criteria shown above.

Example: in case of the CT winding1 is connected to M1, its values have to be entered in the block of F1 in our converter and so on.



8.1 T60 Section

The Relay Parameter Section includes parameters which can be changed by the user. All relay parameters are included in this section and can be set to the actual relay values.

8.1.1 Relay Parameter Section

Settings parameters are included in this block. The parameters are grouped and named as in the EnerVista software. Each parameter in this block can be identified by a Foreign ID, which is identical to the EnerVista parameter description.

Figure 3: Setting the parameters in the Relay Parameter section

8.1.1.1 Additional Information

This block has been added for relay specific parameters such as tolerances which cannot be set by the user, because they are constant values. All values set in this block can be found in the chapter "Technical Data" of the relay's documentation. Typically, these blocks do not have to be changed (except the General Information and Transformer Information), as they are already set to the values given in the user manual of the relay.

.

Figure 4: Setting general information



8.1.1.2 Template Controller (Advanced View)

The Template Controller block contains special values needed for some tests, particularly for tests using LinkToXRIO. These are mainly calculated values which cannot be evaluated using LinkToXRIO and therefore have to be stored in this section. Other values needed for customer designed test can be stored in this block, too.

8.1.2 RIOPlus (Advanced View)

The RIOPlus block contains the interface providing the link between the XRIO converter and all test modules which have no access to RIO functions. All tests using basic test modules like Ramping or State Sequencer have to be linked to the parameters in the RIOPlus or Template Controller section of the converter.

8.1.2.1 NamePlate

The NamePlate block contains all necessary information to identify the protection device to be tested. This block contains the relay vendor, serial number, model, the relay location and a description.

8.1.2.2 Protected Object

The Protected Object block contains the nominal voltages, currents and the nominal power for each transformer winding, as well as the winding type.

8.1.2.2 PowerSystemParameters

The number of phases, phase rotation and the nominal frequency are stored in this block.

8.1.2.4 DifferentialProtection1

The DifferentialProtection1 block contains all data necessary for testing the differential protection of the GE Multilin T60 relay. The nominal values and CT settings used by this protection function can be found here. The percent differential and instantaneous differential pickup values as well as the characteristic slopes are linked to this block and converted for further use in the RIO-Differential function.

8.1.2.5.4 W1 OvercurrentProtection

This block contains all data necessary for testing the winding 1 overcurrent protection of the T60 relay. The nominal values and CT settings used by this protection function can be found here. All stages of the overcurrent protection function in the relay are modeled as sub blocks of the overcurrent protection block. Each stage sub block stores information about the supervised current, pick-up value, operating time, pickup drop-off ratio and the curve type of the modeled overcurrent stage. The modeled stages include:

50P Phase instantaneous overcurrent

51P Phase time overcurrent

50N Neutral instantaneous overcurrent

51N Neutral time overcurrent

50G Residual instantaneous overcurrent

51G Residual time overcurrent

8.1.2.6 W2 OvercurrentProtection

This block contains all necessary information for testing the T60 relay winding 2 overcurrent protection functions. For further information see the W1 OvercurrentProtection chapter.

8.1.2.7 W3 OvercurrentProtection

This block contains all necessary information for testing the T60 relay winding 3 overcurrent protection functions. For further information see the W1 OvercurrentProtection chapter.



8.2 RIO

The RIO section of the converter contains all specialized RIO functions needed to use the more specialized test modules (like Advanced Differential or Overcurrent) provided by the OMICRON Test Universe software.

Warning: Do not change any values in this section. The values have been set using the relay settings of the Relay Parameter section.

Note: Do not activate the former test object view in the advanced mode of the XRIO test object. Changing parameters in this view will disable formulas in the RIO section.

The GE Multilin T60 converter constructs the differential characteristic curve out of the setting values in the Setting Parameter section which allows using the Advanced Differential test modules for testing the relay's differential element.

8.2.2 Differential

This block contains all data necessary for testing the current differential protection function of the GE Multilin T60 relay. All nominal values and CT settings used by this protection function can be found here. The differential pick-up values and the operating characteristic modeled in this section are divided into two sub blocks, Biased Differential Element 1 and Differential Element 2. The Biased Differential Element 1 block contains the Percent Differential Pickup value, the two characteristic slopes and the Percent Differential Break Point value, while the Differential Protection 2 block contains the Instantaneous Differential Pickup value of the T60 differential protection function.

Note: Because of some Test Universe Software restrictions, Diff Configuration and Characteristics testing for Winding3 can be only done w.r.t. Winding1 and can not be done w.r.t. Winding2

8.2.2 W1 Overcurrent

This RIO function provides all necessary values for testing the following winding 1 protection functions with the Overcurrent test module:

50P Phase overcurrent

50N Neutral overcurrent

50G Ground overcurrent

A total of three instantaneous or definite time overcurrent stages are shown as a resulting characteristic curve in the W1 Overcurrent function.















8.3 Activating the RIO Functions

The RIO functions have to be set to active manually in each Overcurrent test module if the converter is used in the stand-alone mode. Activate the RIO function you intend to use in the local hardware configuration as shown below.

Figure 5: Activating a RIO function

8.4 Specific Features

This section deals with special requirements of some of the converter's functions. Functions not listed here have no known limitations to their functionalities.



8.4.1 Special settings format

In the GE Multilin T60 XRIO-Converter, some setting values have to be entered in a special format. The VT settings have to be entered as they are shown in the EnerVista setting software (100.00:1 for instance). This convention is set due to a possible import filter and the data format of the EnerVista settings export format (*.csv data files).

8.5 Handling the Infinity Value

The "infinity" value is not supported by the GE Multilin T60 relay. Therefore, protection functions can not be disabled by setting their pickup value to "+inf" in the XRIO-Converter.
