2 OVERVIEW OF THE RLC RELAY

2.1 INTRODUCTION

The RLC Relay is a numeric, microprocessor based, integrated, and multi-function relay forthe comprehensive protection of medium voltage and high voltage capacitor banks andharmonic filter circuits. In many aspects, the relay is user configurable to cater for a widerange of applications and relay settings and to minimize the number of different relaymodels.

In this way the RLC Relay provides flexibility of application, while remaining botheconomical and easy-to-use.

2.2 APPLICATION

The RLC Relay provides comprehensive protection for the capacitive, inductive andresistive elements of three phase medium voltage and high voltage shunt capacitor banksand harmonic filter circuits. The capacitor banks may have a single star, double star, deltaor “H” CONFIGURATION, with internally fused, externally fused or unfused capacitor units.

The RLC Relay prevents unnecessary trip-outs, only operating when absolutely necessaryto protect the capacitor bank from damage due to fundamental and harmonic overcurrentand overvoltage conditions, and thereby preventing unnecessary financial losses and otherdetrimental consequences due to a trip out of the capacitor bank. In addition, after asystem fault or equipment failure, the RLC Relay trips the associated circuit breakertimeously, to ensure maximum personnel safety, and to minimize further equipment andother consequential damage.

2.3 PROTECTIVE FUNCTIONS PROVIDED BY THE RLC RELAY

2.3.1 Peak repetitive overvoltage protection (Refer to Fig. 21)

The dielectric of a capacitor bank is stressed by the peak repetitive voltage applied to thecapacitor bank. According to the standards, a capacitor bank must be able to withstand arms sinusoidal voltage of 110% of its rated voltage at rated frequency for extended periods.

Thus a capacitor can withstand a peak repetitive voltage of ⋅⋅ 21,1 UN for extended periods.

For peak repetitive voltages above this value, an inverse time capacitor temporaryovervoltage withstand curve defines the time the capacitor can withstand the peak repetitivevoltage before failure. This curve has been derived from the relevant ANSI and IECrecommendations.

In service the peak repetitive voltage is determined by the actual fundamental frequencyvoltage applied to the capacitor, as well as any harmonic voltages superimposed on thefundamental.

Page 15: RLC 1st Manual

RLC RELAY (Rev.01.26.09.97) Page 14 of 140

Filter reactors in series with the capacitor bank cause the fundamental frequency voltage atthe capacitor bank terminals to be higher than the fundamental frequency supply voltage.Also, harmonic currents flowing in the capacitor bank cause harmonic voltagessuperimposed on the fundamental voltage, which further increases the peak repetitivevoltage applied to the capacitor bank.

For each phase, the RLC Relay determines the peak repetitive capacitor voltage, vc, usingadvanced digital signal processing techniques, by integrating the measured line currentwaveform, to give a signal representing the voltage waveform applied to the capacitor bank.The peak repetitive voltage of this signal, vc, is then extracted, and compared to anadjustable low-set peak repetitive voltage withstand threshold, vc>. For calculated peakrepetitive voltages above this threshold, a starter signal, vc> start, is output, and the inversetime ANSI capacitor temporary overvoltage withstand curve defines the time before the low-set peak repetitive overvoltage trip signal, vc>trip, is output. In addition, vc is compared toan adjustable high-set threshold, vc>>, with an associated adjustable definite timer, vc>>:xt,to provide a high-set trip output, vc>>trip, if the associated threshold is exceeded for thedefinite time set.

2.3.2 Thermal overcurrent protection (Refer to Fig. 21)

The connections and current paths within a capacitor bank / harmonic filter circuit arestressed thermally by the total rms heating current, Irms, including both the fundamental andharmonic components, flowing in these connections and current paths.

According to the standards, a capacitor bank, and the capacitor units making up the bank,must be rated to withstand continuously a rms current of 130% of rated current. Forcurrents above this threshold, the resulting temperature rise may cause damage to thecapacitor bank and capacitor units.

Similarly, each of the other elements making up the capacitor bank / harmonic filter circuit,including the circuit breaker, feed cable, series damping or filter reactors, and filter resistors,also have an associated continuous rms heating current limit, above which excessivetemperature rise and damage may occur.

For each phase, the RLC Relay protects a capacitor bank / harmonic filter circuit fromexcess rms current stressing, by modeling the thermal response of the circuit to the rmsheating current, Irms. Using advanced digital signal processing techniques; Irms iscontinuously calculated from the measured line currents. A first order exponential thermalmodel and associated adjustable heating / cooling time constant, τ, is then used tocontinuously calculate the thermal current response, Ith, to the rms heating current, Irms.This parameter, Irms as well as Ith are then continuously compared to an adjustablethreshold, Ith>, which is set as the lowest continuous rms heating current rating of the serieselements making up the capacitor bank / harmonic filter circuit. When Irms exceeds thethreshold, Ith>, the thermal overload starter signal, Ith>start, is output, When Ith exceedsthe threshold, Ith>, the thermal overload trip signal, Ith>trip, is output.

Page 16: RLC 1st Manual

RLC RELAY (Rev.01.26.09.97) Page 15 of 140

NOTE

Irms reflects the instantaneous value of the Irms heating current, while Ith lags Irmsdepending on τ as set.

2.3.3 Fundamental frequency star point unbalance protection (Refer to Fig. 22)

In a double star connected capacitor bank, the failure of internal capacitor elements, andthe subsequent blowing of internal capacitor element fuses or external capacitor unit fuses,is detected by sensitive monitoring of the star point unbalance current flowing between thetwo star points.

Capacitor banks may be designed to operate for extended periods with a certain number ofblown internal or external fuses. However, once a certain number of fuses have blown, theincrease in voltage across the healthy elements dictates that the capacitor bank should beimmediately disconnected to avoid further progressive element failures and catastrophicdamage.

Even though efforts may be taken to balance a double star connected capacitor bank, byoptimum selection and positioning of the capacitor units making up the bank, the tolerancein capacitance is such that a “natural” fundamental frequency star point unbalance currentflows under normal conditions.

The RLC Relay measures the star point unbalance current and calculates the fundamentalfrequency component, Iub. This is then compensated, in magnitude and phase angle, tozero, to enable further changes, in both magnitude and phase angle, ∆Iub, from the initialuncompensated value, to be determined. The magnitude of ∆Iub is a measure of thechange in capacitance in any leg of a double star capacitor bank arrangement, whereas thephase angle of ∆Iub indicates the leg in which the change in capacitance has occurred.

The magnitude of ∆Iub is continuously compared to an adjustable low-set threshold, Iub>,and high-set threshold, Iub>>, each with an associated adjustable definite timer, Iub:xt andIub>>:xt. For ∆Iub greater than Iub>, a starter signal, Iub>start, is output. In addition,low-set and high-set trip signals, Iub>trip and Iub>>trip, are output, if the associatedthresholds are exceeded for the definite times set.

The advantage of star point unbalance protection is that, unlike line current unbalance, themagnitude and phase angle of ∆Iub is not influenced by unbalanced supply voltageconditions. Therefore the sensitivity of star point unbalance current measurement can bemuch higher than line current unbalance measurement, without spurious tripping caused byunbalanced supply voltages. This sensitivity is often essential for adequate protection oflarger capacitor banks with both internal, external and unfused capacitor arrangements. Inaddition, the star point unbalance protection function provided by the RLC Relay indicates

Page 17: RLC 1st Manual

RLC RELAY (Rev.01.26.09.97) Page 16 of 140

the leg of the double star bank in which the change in capacitance has occurred. This isparticularly convenient for larger capacitor banks with internally fused or unfused capacitorarrangements, to speed up the identification of faulty capacitor units.

2.3.4 Fundamental frequency “H” CONFIGURATION capacitor bank unbalance protection(Refer to Fig. 24)

Similarly, but in an alternative user-configurable operating mode, the RLC Relay providesfundamental frequency “H” CONFIGURATION capacitor bank unbalance protection only.This provides sensitive unbalance protection independently for each phase of a capacitorbank.

For each phase of an “H” CONFIGURATION capacitor bank, the changes in magnitudesand phase angles ∆aIub, ∆bIub and ∆cIub are calculated from the initial “natural”fundamental frequency star point unbalance currents, aIub, bIub and cIub, by digital signalprocessing of the three measured “H” CONFIGURATION unbalance currents.

The magnitudes of ∆aIub, ∆bIub and ∆cIub are continuously compared to adjustable lowsetthresholds aIub>, bIub> and cIub>, and high-set thresholds aIub>>, bIub>> and cIub>>respectively. Each of the low-set thresholds and high-set thresholds has an associatedadjustable low set and high-set definite timer, namely aIub>:xt, bIub>:xt and cIub>:xt andaIub>>:xt, bIub>>:xt and cIub>>:xt. For ∆aIub, ∆bIub and ∆cIub greater than aIub>, bIub>and cIub> respectively, the corresponding starter signal, aIub>start, bIub>start andcIub>start, is output. In addition, low-set trip signals aIub>trip, bIub>trip and cIub>trip, andhigh-set trip signals aIub>>trip, bIub>>trip and cIub>>trip, are output, if the associatedthresholds are exceeded for the definite times set.

The advantage of “H” CONFIGURATION capacitor bank unbalance protection is that,similar to star point unbalance protection, the magnitudes and phase angles of ∆aIub, ∆bIuband ∆cIub are not influenced by unbalanced supply voltage conditions. Therefore thesensitivity of “H” CONFIGURATION unbalance current measurement can be much higherthan line current unbalance measurement, without spurious tripping caused by unbalancedsupply voltages. In addition, this sensitive unbalance protection is now providedindependently for each phase of the capacitor bank, thus making it possible to immediatelyand independently identify the phase and branch in which a change in capacitance hasoccurred. This is particularly convenient for larger capacitor banks with internally fused orunfused capacitor arrangements, to speed up the identification of faulty capacitor units.

2.3.5 Fundamental frequency line current unbalance protection (Refer to Fig. 23)

The monitoring of fundamental frequency line current unbalance provides a means ofdetecting changes in impedance resulting from failures and faults within the capacitive,inductive and resistive elements of a capacitor bank / harmonic filter circuit. These faults orfailures invariably result in an unbalance in the fundamental frequency component of theline currents.

Page 18: RLC 1st Manual

RLC RELAY (Rev.01.26.09.97) Page 17 of 140

The RLC Relay calculates the fundamental frequency line current unbalance, Ilub, from thefundamental frequency components of the three phase line currents. Ilub is continuouslycompared with two adjustable thresholds, Ilub> and Ilub>>, each with an associatedadjustable definite timer, Ilub>:xt and Ilub>>:xt. For Ilub greater than Ilub>, a starter signal,Ilub>start, is output. In addition, low-set and high-set trip signals, Ilub>trip and Ilub>>trip,are output if the associated thresholds are exceeded for the definite times set.

The sensitivity of line current unbalance protection is limited by the effect of supply voltageunbalance on the line currents. Nevertheless, line current unbalance protection is useful asback-up protection to star point unbalance protection, as well as for early detection of filterresistor and reactor faults, and for early detection of capacitor element failures in smallercapacitor banks, in single star or delta connected arrangements, where star pointunbalance protection is not provided.

2.3.6 Fundamental frequency earth fault protection (Refer to Fig.23)

The RLC Relay calculates the fundamental frequency residual or earth fault current, Io, asthe magnitude of the vector sum of the three fundamental frequency components of thethree phase line currents. Io is compared with two adjustable thresholds, Io> and lo>>,each with an associated adjustable definite timer, Io>:xt and Io>>:xt. For Io greater thanIo>, a starter signal, Io>start, is output. In addition, low-set and high-set trip signals, Io>tripand Io>>trip, are output if the associated thresholds are exceeded for the definite times set.

2.3.7 Fundamental frequency overvoltage and overcurrent protection (Refer to Fig. 21)

For each phase, the RLC Relay calculates the fundamental frequency component, I1, of theline current. I1 is continuously compared with two adjustable thresholds, I1> and I1>>, eachwith an associated adjustable definite timer, I1>:xt and I1>>:xt. For I1 greater than I1>, astarter signal, I1>start, is output. In addition, low-set and high-set trip signals, I1>trip andI1>>trip, are output if the associated thresholds are exceeded for the definite times set.

In the absence of any equipment failures or system faults, the fundamental frequency linecurrents flowing in a shunt connected capacitor bank / harmonic filter circuit is proportionalto the fundamental frequency supply voltage.

The low-set fundamental frequency overcurrent threshold is typically set a little higher thanthe current that would flow at the maximum system voltage, e.g. at say 107,5% of nominal,with a fairly long definite time setting of, say 300 seconds. This protects the capacitorbank/harmonic filter circuit from an abnormally high supply voltage, in excess of thedeclared maximum system voltage.

A fundamental frequency line current much higher than that which would normally flow atthe maximum system voltage, indicates a catastrophic phase-to-phase, three phase orphase-to-earth fault, or major equipment failure, requiring immediate disconnection of thecapacitor bank / harmonic filter circuit. Therefore the high-set fundamental frequencyovercurrent threshold is typically set at, say 150% of nominal, with a definite time delaysetting of zero (no intentional delay).

2.3.8 Fundamental frequency undercurrent protection (Refer to Fig. 21)

If the mains power supply should fail, while the capacitor bank / harmonic filter circuitbreaker is on, then it is prudent to trip the capacitor bank / filter circuit breaker. Afterrestoration of the mains supply, the capacitor bank can then be re-energized undercontrolled conditions, after the system load has been re-established. In certain cases thiscan help to avoid over correction and excessive system voltage rise, due to load rejectionduring the mains power dip.

For each phase, the RLC Relay calculates I1, the fundamental frequency component of theline current. I1 is continuously compared with an adjustable undercurrent threshold, I1<,and associated adjustable definite timer, I1<:xt. With the capacitor bank / harmonic filtercircuit breaker on, if the mains power supply fails, as indicated by a drop in I1 below I1< forlonger than the definite time set, then the undercurrent trip signal, I1<trip, is output.

2.3.9 Breaker fail protection (Refer to Fig. 21)

If I1 remains above 10% of rated In, for longer than the adjustable definite time, Bfail1<:xt,after a trip output signal has been given by the RLC Relay (regardless of the digital input),then this indicates a major failure of the capacitor bank / harmonic filter circuit breaker, andthe breaker fail signal, Bfail1, is output.

In addition to the above, if I1 remains above 10% of rated In, for longer than the adjustabledefinite time, Bfail2<:xt, after the breaker switches off (digital input indicates the breakeropen/close status), then this indicates a major failure of the capacitor bank / harmonic filtercircuit breaker, and the breaker fail signal, Bfail2, is output.

Both signals can be used trip to an upstream breaker.

2.3.10 Capacitor bank re-switching protection (Refer to Fig 23)

When a capacitor bank / harmonic filter circuit breaker switches off for any reason, it shouldnot be re-energized until the capacitor bank has discharged, to prevent severe and stressfulvoltage and current transients due to the application of mains supply voltage onto a chargedcapacitor bank.

In most cases, after de-energization, discharge resistors built into the capacitor units willdischarge the stored capacitor voltage to less than 50 V within 5 minutes ofde-energization. Alternatively, external rapid discharge chokes may be fitted for fasterdischarge.

The RLC Relay provides the necessary logic, and a breaker enable output signal, Bena, toinhibit the re-energization of the capacitor bank / harmonic filter circuit breaker, for anadjustable definite time, Bena:xt, since de-energization. Bena is normally at logic 1 (high),goes to logic 0 (low) when the circuit breaker switches off, and reverts to logic 1 (high) adefinite time (typically set as 5 minutes) thereafter.

2.4 Measuring and protection elements

Four dual 1A/5A current measuring elements are provided within the RLC Relay.

Elements 1,2 and 3 are normally used to measure the three phase line currents of thecapacitor bank and series reactors, via three line current transformers, with 1A or 5Asecondaries.

In addition, where applicable, elements 1, 2 and 3 of a separate RLC Relay may be used tomeasure the three phase line currents of the filter resistors, via three resistor line currenttransformers, with 1A or 5A secondaries.

Element 4 is normally used to measure the star point unbalance current of a three phase,double star connected capacitor bank, via a star point unbalance current transformer, with a1A or 5A secondary, connected between the two star points.

The functionality, settings, and binary output signals of elements 1, 2 and 3 are identical,and provide peak repetitive overvoltage protection, thermal overcurrent protection,fundamental frequency overvoltage and overcurrent protection, fundamental frequencyundercurrent protection, and breaker fail protection.

The functionality of element 4 provides fundamental frequency star point unbalanceprotection for a double star connected capacitor bank.

In addition, from the three phase fundamental frequency line current vectors, calculated byelements 1, 2 and 3, a software element 5 further calculates and provides fundamentalfrequency earth fault protection and fundamental frequency line unbalance currentprotection.

Furthermore, software element 5 provides discharge timer logic to inhibit the re-energizationof the capacitor bank / harmonic filter circuit breaker, for an adjustable definite time afterde-energization.

In an alternative user-configurable operating mode, the RLC Relay provides fundamentalfrequency “H” CONFIGURATION capacitor bank unbalance protection only. This providessensitive unbalance protection independently for each phase of a capacitor bank.

In this mode, element 1 measure the “a” phase line current of the capacitor bank (as areference phase), while elements 2, 3 and 4 measure the “H” CONFIGURATION unbalancecurrents of phases “a”, “b” and “c”, respectively.

Refer to Appendix 3 and Section 3.5 for further details.

3 RLC RELAY HARDWARE DETAILS

3.1 INTRODUCTION

This section provides various hardware and mechanical details of the RLC Relay relevant tothe user. These include various mechanical details as well as various details relating toconfiguration by the user of the measuring element rated currents (1A or 5A), and theoutput relay contact forms (normally open or normally closed).

3.2 NOMENCLATURE AND IDENTIFICATION OF EXTERNAL COMPONENTS

Refer to Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 for front and rear views of the RLC Relay and for identification ofexternal components.

3.3 ENCLOSURE AND DRAW-OUT UNIT

The RLC Relay is housed in a draw-out chassis within a fixed case. This housing isparticularly suitable for both flush mounting or 19 inch rack mounting. The cases aredesigned for use in tropical climates, and are designed to withstand shock, vibration and theingress of dust and moisture.

Two phosphor bronze earth continuity strips are riveted to the draw-out chassis and makecontact with the earthing strips in the fixed case.

In order to remove the draw-out chassis, unscrew by a quarter turn the bottom catch of theremovable front cover and remove. Then firmly and slowly pull the draw-out handle on thefront fascia plate to remove the draw-out chassis of the RLC Relay.

In order to insert the draw-out chassis into the fixed case carefully align the guide rails onthe draw-out chassis with the corners of the fixed case. Then firmly and slowly push thehandle on the front fascia plate to insert the draw-out chassis into the fixed case. When thechassis is almost fully inserted, an extra resistance will be felt as the moving contacts on thedraw-out chassis mate with the fixed contacts of the fixed case. At this point, press thehandle very firmly to fully insert the draw-out chassis. Then replace the front cover byhooking the top catch over the clip on the fixed case. Align the front cover and refasten thebottom catch by a quarter turn.

CAUTION

The RLC Relay incorporates static sensitive devices. However the electronic circuitsare well protected by the fixed metal case. Therefore do not withdraw the draw-out

chassis unnecessarily. Refer to Section 6.2 for further details on handling of thedraw-out chassis when removed from the fixed case.

Page 29: RLC 1st Manual

RLC RELAY (Rev.01.26.09.97) Page 28 of 140

3.4 TERMINALS

A terminal block, with 28 recessed terminals, are provided on the fixed case. Standard M4screw terminals, or fast-on connectors, can be used on the terminal block for connections tothe protection relay.

Removing the draw-out chassis from the fixed case automatically short circuits the currenttransformer field terminals, before breaking contact with the draw-out chassis, and ensuresthat the current transformer circuits are not open circuited during and after removal.

Refer to Fig. 2 and Fig. 4 for details of the terminal layout and terminal connection diagram.

3.5 MEASURING ELEMENTS

Four user configurable dual 1A/5A current measuring elements are provided within the RLCRelay.

As default, the RLC Relay is supplied with each measuring element pre-configured for a 5Anominal rated current (In = 5A).

However the user may easily change any or all elements to have a 1A nominal ratedcurrent, as required by the application.

To do this, withdraw the draw-out chassis from the fixed case as detailed in Section 3.3,taking note of the handling requirements of Section 6.2. Then, referring to Fig. 5, identifythe 1A and 5A selection links for elements 1, 2, 3 and 4, on the Analog / Power supplyprinted circuit board. Move the link to the desired position for each element, to select arated current of 1A or 5A for each element.

WARNING

Extremely hazardous high voltages can appear across the CT secondaries if the CTsecondary current is open circuited. Therefore carefully ensure that the selection

links are properly in place for each measuring element before re-inserting the draw-out chassis into the fixed case, otherwise the CT circuits will be open circuited as the

draw-out chassis is inserted.

CAUTION

Be absolutely sure that the rated currents selected for each element correspond tothe CT secondary rated current.

Page 30: RLC 1st Manual

RLC RELAY (Rev.01.26.09.97) Page 29 of 140

NOTE

After changing the rated current selection terminals for one or more elements, besure to change the rating plate details of the RLC Relay to reflect the changed

nominal rated current, In, for the affected elements.

3.6 RELAY OUTPUTS

The RLC Relay has six relay outputs.

The power up normal state of output relays #1 to #5 is user configurable i.e. normallyenergized or normally de-energized.

The reset state of output relays #1 to #5 are also user configurable i.e. self reset or handreset (latched).

Output relay #6 is the RLC Relay self-supervision relay, and is energized in the power-upnormal condition, and de-generizes on loss of auxiliary power supply, or on failure of theRLC Relay internal power supply, microprocessor hardware, software or memory.

Output relays #1 to #6 have one-changeover contact each. As default the RLC Relays aresupplied with the normally open contacts wired to the terminal block. However the usermay easily change any or all of the output contacts of output relays #1 to #6 wired to theterminal block to be normally closed, as required by the application.

To change the contact forms of output relays #1 to #6, withdraw the draw-out chassis fromthe fixed case as detailed in Section 3.3, taking note of the handling requirements ofSection 6.2.

Then, referring to Fig. 6, identify the output relay contact form selection links for relays #1 to#6. Move the links to the desired position for each output relay contact, to select a contactform of N/O or N/C for each output relay contact.

WARNING

Be absolutely sure that the contact forms selected for the output relay contacts arecorrect for the application, and that the links are properly in place for each output

relay contact before re-inserting the draw-out chassis into the fixed case, otherwisethe desired protection may not be provided. Confirm that the contact forms selected

are correct by performing the diagnostic test function.

Refer to Section 4.4 and Section 4.7 for further details.

RLC RELAY (Rev.01.26.09.97) Page 36 of 140

The four “OTHER” setting variables are:

• The functionality of the digital input to the RLC Relay. This can be either “Disabled” ifthe digital input is not being used, or set as a Breaker on, Bon, signal or as a “Remote-Reset”.

• The breaker fail timer, Bfail1 can be set from 0.05 to 2 seconds to provide breaker failprotection if a trip has occurred and the fault condition has not been removed within theBfail1 timer setting.

• The breaker fail timer, Bfail2 can be set from 0.05 to 2 seconds to provide breaker failprotection. If the digital input is used to detect the open/close status of a breaker andthe input shows the breaker is open and the I1 current has not fallen below 10% of Intrip signal will be generated.

• The breaker enable timer, Bena:xt, can be set from 0 to 600 seconds to providecapacitor bank re-switching protection when the digital input is set as a Breaker on, Bon,signal. This function may be disabled if desired.

When the “OTHER” variables have been set as desired, press the red ACCEPT button torevert back to the PARAMETER SETUP sub-menu.

4.6.3 The COMPENSATE functions

Compensation of the star point unbalance current, or the “H” CONFIGURATION unbalancecurrents, should only be done after the relevant capacitor bank or filter circuit is in service.

The RLC Relay measures the fundamental frequency star point unbalance current or the“H” CONFIGURATION unbalance currents, depending on the mode settings.

The natural unbalance currents (which flow as a result of normal capacitance tolerances)can be compensated, in magnitude and phase angle, to zero. This enables any furtherchanges, in both magnitude and phase angle, ∆Iub, from the initial uncompensated value,to be determined.

After selecting and displaying the COMPENSATE function press the  key to execute. Atthis point the compensation vector is displayed.

When the unbalance current is uncompensated the compensation vector is the null vectoras shown below:

comp. vector0% ∠ 0.0°

Page 38: RLC 1st Manual

RLC RELAY (Rev.01.26.09.97) Page 37 of 140

When the unbalance circuit is compensated the compensation vector is typically shown as:

comp. vector2% ∠ 32.3°

After compensation, the compensation vector has the same magnitude as the initialmeasured fundamental frequency unbalance current at the instant of compensation, buthas the opposite polarity (i.e. is 180° out of phase).

Pressing the À key then displays the calculated unbalance current either in absolute terms,(if uncompensated) or in relative terms, ∆Iub, if compensated.

Iub 2% ∠ 112.3°Compensate? No

Pressing the  or Á key toggles between “No” and “Yes”.

When “No” is selected, pressing the red ACCEPT key again, reverts back to thePARAMETER SETUP sub-menu.

If “Yes” is selected, pressing the red ACCEPT key again, executes the COMPENSATIONfunction.

Immediately after compensation ∆Iub will always be the null vector.

However, after compensation any subsequent change in capacitance will cause ∆Iub toassume a non-zero magnitude and some phase angle ranging from 0° to 360°.

The magnitude of ∆Iub is a measure of the change in capacitance in any leg of the doublestar or “H” CONFIGURATION capacitor bank arrangement. The phase angle of ∆Iubindicates he leg in which the change in capacitance has occurred.(Refer to Fig. 17 to Fig. 20).

Pressing the À key again displays

UncompensateNo

Pressing the  or Á key toggles between “No” and “Yes”.

Page 39: RLC 1st Manual

RLC RELAY (Rev.01.26.09.97) Page 38 of 140

When “No” is selected, pressing the red ACCEPT key again reverts back to thePARAMETER SETUP sub-menu.

If “Yes” is selected, pressing the red ACCEPT key again, executes the UNCOMPENSATEfunction and reverts to the previous “Compensate?” display.

4.7 ACCESS OUTPUT RELAY MENU (Optional Password Protection)

From the main menu, select the “Access OUTPUT RELAY menu” using the ¿ or À key(Refer to Section 4.3). Then execute this function by pressing the  key (Refer to Section4.4).

Pressing the ¿ or À key now scrolls a cursor back or forward through a series of settingoptions and screens. At each cursor position, the user can select the relevant settingoptions to be “0” or “1”, using the Á or  key.

These setting options are used to configure each of the output relays #1 to #5 in terms of:

• whether a software output signal is directed (select “1”) or not directed (select “0”) tooutput relays #1 to #5.

Example:

Relay : #12345I1>>trip 11000

The I1>>trip software output signal is directed to operate relay #1 and #2

• whether output relays #1 to #5 energize (select “1”) or de-energize (select “0”) to trip.

Example:

Energise #12345To trip 11000

Output relay #1 and #2 energize to trip and relays #3 to #5 de-energize to trip

• whether output relays #1 to #5 latch on tripping (Select “1”), or are self-resetting (Select“0”).

Example :

Latch #12345On trip 11000

Output relay #1 and #2 latch on tripping, and relays #3 to #5 are self-resetting

Page 40: RLC 1st Manual

RLC RELAY (Rev.01.26.09.97) Page 39 of 140

• after setting all of the output relay options, pressing the À key displays the relaychecksums, calculated for the particular output relay settings selected for relays #1 to#5.

Example:

Relay #2 Checksum200002

For each possible configuration of output relay #1, #2, #3, #4, and #5 a unique 6 digithexadecimal check sum is calculated by the RLC Relay as shown in Appendix 8 andAppendix 9.

By comparing the check-sums calculated by the RLC Relay, with the correct checksumscalculated by the user for the desired output relay configuration, the user can confirm thatthe relay has been configured correctly.

After configuring the output relays and viewing the check-sums to verify that they have beenconfigured correctly, press the red ACCEPT key to revert back to the main menu.

The user will be presented with 3 choices:

• Resume

• Save

• Cancel

Press the Á or  key to select one of the above.

If Resume is selected, then pressing the red ACCEPT key will return the relay to the set-upmode, to allow the user to further modify the set-up parameters.

If Save is selected, then pressing the red ACCEPT key will save the new settings andchange the old settings to the new settings, and return to the main menu.

If Cancel is selected, then pressing the red ACCEPT key will abort and return to the mainmenu without saving the new settings or changing the old settings to the new settings (ie.the new settings will be discarded).

NOTE

It should be noted that while the RLC Relay is in the set-up mode, all the protectivefunctions are still active and thus full protection is still provided, using the

previously saved set-up parameters.

4.8 RUN DIAGNOSTIC TEST SEQUENCE

On application of auxiliary supply voltage, and at regular intervals during normal operation,the RLC Relay performs a number of diagnostic checks of the:

• EEPROM• Calibration factors• Configuration set-up• EPROM• RAM• Processors

Any errors detected will cause the RLC Relay to suspend protective functions, de-energizethe self-supervision relay and display an error message as detailed in Appendix 7.

In addition, during commissioning, while in normal service, or in the test laboratory, a seriesof diagnostic tests may be performed by the user.

These tests enable the user to check:

• The serial number• The software version• The production pre-test status• The LCD screen• The LED’s• The digital input• The output relays

It is deemed unnecessary to do a specific test of the RLC Relay keypad, because theoperation of the keypad is implicitly checked by the user in performing this series ofdiagnostic tests.

All protective functions are fully operational while performing the above series of diagnostictests, except during the testing of the output relays.

NOTE

Also, testing of the output relays while the RLC Relay is in normal service, with theassociated circuit breaker energized, may cause the breaker to trip. This is because

the output relays sequentially energize for 1 second during the output relay test.

Therefore, before performing the output relay test, the user is given the option to skip thistest.

5.3 THE LED INDICATORS

The following three LED indicators are provided on the front panel of the RLC Relay:

• Green LED: POWER ON/HEALTHY – This indicates that the auxiliary power supply isON, and the self-supervision output relay is energized, indicating that the protectionrelay is healthy.

• Yellow LED: ALARM – This indicates that one or more of the overcurrent startersoftware logic outputs of measuring elements 1,2 3 or 4 is “high”, and that the protectionrelay may trip if the fault condition persists.

• Red LED: TRIP – This indicates that a trip condition has occurred that has not yet beenacknowledged. Only when all the post trip fault annunciation screen displays have beenacknowledged will this LED go off. (Refer to Appendix 1 : Trip session)

5.4 THE LCD SCREEN DISPLAY DURING OVERLOAD OR FAULT CONDITION

During an overload or fault condition the normal operation screens simply display thevarious measured and/or calculated parameters prevailing.

Page 54: RLC 1st Manual

RLC RELAY (Rev.01.26.09.97) Page 53 of 140

5.5 THE LCD POST-TRIP FAULT ANNUNCIATION and TRIP HISTORY SCREEN DISPLAYS

POST-TRIP FAULT ANNUNCIATION SCREEN DISPLAYS

The post-trip annunciation data for each trip event comprises up to 14 post-trip faultannunciation screens (for Normal Mode operation) or up to 6 post-trip fault annunciationscreens (for “H” CONFIGURATION MODE operation).

The set of post trip annunciation data for each trip event indicates which software tripsignals were output during the trip event. The magnitude of parameter causing thecorresponding software trip signal is recorded at the instant of output, as well as the timetaken from the moment the relevant trip threshold was exceeded, until the software signalwas output. In addition, in the case of the star-point or “H” CONFIGURATION MODE tripsignals, the relevant phase angle of the unbalance current is recorded, to indicate in whichleg of the capacitor bank, capacitor failure has occurred (Refer to Fig. 11 and 12).

After a trip event, the first-up of the post-trip fault annunciation screens of the event isdisplayed on the LCD screen.

Under normal circumstances, after a trip condition, an operator would investigate the tripcondition, inspect the relevant RLC Relay, note and record the post trip annunciation screendisplay, and then acknowledge (i.e. reset) the relay post trip fault annunciation, by pressingthe red ACCEPT key. At this point, the other trip conditions that may have occurred afterthe first-up trip condition, will be displayed. Again the user can acknowledge (i.e. reset) thisindication, by pressing the red ACCEPT key.

After all the post trip fault annunciation screens have been acknowledged, then the normaloperation screen is displayed again.

After investigating and rectifying the fault condition, the operator would normally only thenre-energize the tripped circuit breaker, after which the normal operation screen would bedisplayed.

If, however, the tripped circuit breaker is re-energized before the post trip fault annunciationscreens have been acknowledged, then the post trip annunciation screens will continue tobe displayed until they are acknowledged, as previously detailed, after which the normaloperation screen, will be displayed.

If a further fault condition were to occur, causing the circuit breaker to trip again, before theprevious post trip fault annunciation screens have been acknowledged, then the previousfault trip annunciation data is replaced with the latest fault trip annunciation data.

Page 55: RLC 1st Manual

RLC RELAY (Rev.01.26.09.97) Page 54 of 140

NOTE

It is only possible to acknowledge a trip once the fault has been cleared, otherwiseyou will only be able to scroll through the post trip data.

TRIP HISTORY SCREEN DISPLAYS

When the fault has been cleared after a trip event, a set of post-trip annunciation data isrecorded in the TRIP HISTORY list.

The TRIP HISTORY list records the post-trip annunciation data for the last 5 trip events,with No. 1 being the most recent.

The complete TRIP HISTORY LIST comprising the post-trip annunciation data for the last 5trip events can be accessed by the user with the RLC Relay in normal operation (Refer toSection 5.10).

6 INSTALLATION

6.1 INTRODUCTION

This section provides details regarding unpacking, storage, handling, mounting, wiring andnoise isolation of RLC Relays.

6.2 UNPACKING, STORAGE AND HANDLING

Upon receipt, the RLC Relay should be examined to ensure no obvious damage occurredduring transit. Care must be taken when unpacking so that none of the parts are damaged.Check that the RLC Relay delivered corresponds with that ordered, particularly in respect ofthe rated auxiliary voltage.

If the RLC Relay is not to be installed immediately upon receipt, it should be stored in alocation free of dust and moisture in their original cartons. The allowable storagetemperature range is -20°C to +70°C.

The relays use components that are sensitive to electrostatic discharges. However, theelectronic circuits are well protected by the fixed metal case of the RLC Relay. Thereforedo not withdraw the draw-out chassis unnecessarily.

However, when handling the draw-out module outside the fixed metal case, care should betaken to avoid contact with the electronic components and electrical connections. Ifremoved from the case for storage and/or transport, the draw-out module should be placedin an anti-static bag.

If it becomes necessary to withdraw the draw-out module, the following precautions shouldbe taken:

• Before removing the draw-out module, ensure that you are at the same electrostaticpotential as the equipment, by touching the fixed metal case.

• Handle the draw-out module by the metal fascia plate, frame or edges of the printedcircuit boards. Avoid touching the electronic components, printed circuit board tracks orconnectors.

• If the equipment is to be passed to another person, first ensure you are both at thesame electrostatic potential, such as, by shaking hands.

• Place the draw-out module on an anti-static surface, or on a conducting surface, whichis at the same potential as you.

• Store or transport the draw-out module in an anti-static bag.

Further information on safe working procedures for electronic equipment can be found inthe relevant national and international standards.

Page 58: RLC 1st Manual

RLC RELAY (Rev.01.26.09.97) Page 57 of 140

6.3 MOUNTING

The RLC Relay can be mounted anywhere that meets the environmental specifications asdetailed in Appendix 2, and in particular it should be mounted indoors, in a clean, dryatmosphere, out of direct sunlight, and free from excessive dust and vibration.

Refer to Fig.3 for details of outline dimensions, cutout details and mounting holes.

CAUTION

Heat producing devices must be located at sufficient distances to ensure that themaximum operating temperature of the RLC Relay is not exceeded.

The RLC Relay is normally used as a flush mounted or 19 inch rack mountedinstrument, for fitting on or within switchgear or relay panels. The relay should bemounted at a convenient height above floor level to facilitate optimum visibility and

operator interaction.

CAUTION

The mounting holes of the fixed metal casing of RLC Relay are accessible withoutremoving the front cover and/or the draw-out module. Therefore it is strongly

recommended that the draw-out module should remain protected by the fixed metalcase during mounting and assembly of a RLC Relay into a panel or 19 inch rack

(Refer to Section 6.2).

6.4 WIRING

All current transformer, auxiliary voltage, output relay and input signal wiring connects to aterminal block with 28 recessed terminals on the rear of the fixed casing. Standard screwterminals or fast-on connectors can be used on the terminal block for the externalconnections to the protection relay.

Refer to Fig. 4 for a terminal and connection diagram showing terminal numbers.

Page 59: RLC 1st Manual

RLC RELAY (Rev.01.26.09.97) Page 58 of 140

6.4.1 Auxiliary Power Supply

Connect the auxiliary power supply to terminals 5 and 7.

NOTE

The auxiliary power supply is not polarity sensitive and can accept ac or dc inputvoltages.

CAUTION

Check carefully, before energizing, that the auxiliary voltage is correct, and fallswithin the range indicated on the RLC Relay.

Refer to Fig. 9 to Fig. 16 for typical application drawings.

Refer also to the connection diagram of Fig. 4.

WARNING

Ensure that the auxiliary supply to the RLC Relay is adequately protected by meansof fuses or miniature circuit breakers to suit the fault level and wire size used. High

rupturing capacity fuses (2A) are recommended.

6.4.2 Current Transformer Circuits

Connect the current transformer connections for elements 1, 2, 3 and 4 to terminals 21 and22, 23 and 24, 25 and 26 and 27 and 28, respectively.

Refer to Fig. 9 to Fig. 16 for typical application drawings.

Refer also to the connection diagram of Fig. 4.

CAUTION

One side of each CT circuit should be earthed, and multiple earth connections andearth loops should be avoided.

Page 60: RLC 1st Manual

RLC RELAY (Rev.01.26.09.97) Page 59 of 140

CAUTION

Check carefully, before applying current transformer inputs, that the currenttransformer rated currents are correct and correspond with the nominal rated

currents of the relevant measuring elements. Refer to Section 3.5 for details on howto configure the nominal rated current of an element for 1A or 5A.

Refer to Appendix 3 for the acceptable current range, the short-time overcurrent, and theVA burden of the measuring elements.

WARNING

Extremely hazardous voltages can appear across the CT secondaries if the CTsecondary current is open circuited. Do not attempt to connect, disconnect, service

or insert other devices in the CT secondary current loops without positivelyswitching off the primary circuit, and thus ensuring that the secondary current is

zero.

The draw-out module of a RLC Relay may be safely withdrawn on-load, becausewithdrawing the draw-out module automatically short circuits the current transformerterminals, and prevents the possibility of CT open circuits during the process.

6.4.3 Output Relay Circuits

Connect the applicable output relay circuits to the terminals of output relays #1, #2, #3, #4,#5, and #6.

Refer to Fig. 9 to Fig. 16 for typical application drawings.

Refer also to the connection diagrams of Fig. 4.

CAUTION

Check carefully before applying voltage to the output relay contacts that the loadsand voltages to be applied are within the ratings of the relay contacts. Refer toAppendix 3 for the continuous thermal rating, the short time current rating, the

making capacity, the breaking capacity, the maximum switching voltage and themaximum switching current of the output relays.

Page 61: RLC 1st Manual

RLC RELAY (Rev.01.26.09.97) Page 60 of 140

WARNING

Ensure that the voltages applied to the output relay contacts are adequatelyprotected by means of fuses or miniature circuit breakers to suit the fault-level, wire

size and contact rating.

6.4.4 Digital Input

If applicable, connect the digital input circuits to terminal numbers 9 and 11.

Refer to Fig. 9 to Fig. 16 for typical application drawings.

Refer to the connection diagrams of Fig. 4.

The digital input terminals can accept ac or dc input voltages and are not polarity sensitive.

CAUTION

Check carefully before applying voltage to the blocking input terminals that thevoltage applied is correct and falls within the range detailed in Appendix 3.

WARNING

Ensure that the voltage applied to the blocking input is adequately protected bymeans of fuses or miniature circuit breakers to suit the fault level and wire size used.

High rupturing capacity fuses (2A) are recommended.

6.4.5 Earth Connection

It is recommended that a 4mm² earth conductor be installed from the RLC Relay earthterminal to the panel earth bar. In addition, ensure that the panel is properly earthed inaccordance with local regulations.

CAUTION

In order for the RLC Relay not to be adversely affected by surges, transients andother electrical and electro-magnetic noise, it is essential that the relay is properly

earthed as detailed above.

Page 62: RLC 1st Manual

RLC RELAY (Rev.01.26.09.97) Page 61 of 140

WARNING

For personnel safety it is essential that the RLC Relay is properly earthed as detailedabove.

6.5 NOISE ISOLATION

Refer to Section 6.4.5.

When properly connected and earthed, RLC Relays are highly tolerant of electrical andelectro-magnetic noise. Refer to Appendix 2 for the withstand ability. However, as withother micro-processor based measurement and protection equipment, the RLC Relay mustbe installed, wired and located with some degree of concern for electrical and electro-magnetic noise which could cause erratic operation. The relay should be wired,mounted and isolated from sources of potential noise and disturbances in excess of thoseprescribed in Appendix 2. In extreme cases this may require that filters or surgesuppressors be applied to electro-magnetic devices operating in close proximity to the RLCRelay.

To avoid possible problems from electrical and electro-magnetic noise and disturbances, orif specific problems are experienced in this regard, obtain specialist advice regardingcounter measures and solutions.

7 STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLING, CONFIGURING, TESTING ANDPUTTING INTO SERVICE

7.1 INTRODUCTION

This section provides step-by-step instructions for installing, configuration, testing andputting into service the RLC Relay. Please refer to the relevant sections of this manual forfurther details.

7.2 STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS

1. Unpack the relay, and check for obvious damage.Check that the type supplied corresponds with that ordered, especially in respect ofauxiliary voltage.

2. If the nominal rated current of any measuring element is to be changed from thedefault value of 5A to 1A to suit the application, remove the front cover of the relay,withdraw the draw-out module and reconfigure the appropriate elements.

Ensure that the rating plate details of the RLC Relay reflect the nominal ratedcurrents of each element.

3. If the contact form (normally open or normally closed) of any of output relays #1, #2,#3, #4, #5 or #6 is to be changed from the default settings of normally open tonormally closed, withdraw the draw-out module and reconfigure the appropriatecontacts.

4. Insert the draw-out module back into the fixed casing and affix the front cover of therelay.

5. Mount the RLC Relay within a cut-out on the switchgear or relay panel, or within anappropriate 19 inch rack.

Ensure that the fixed housing is securely screwed to the panel or 19 inch rack, usingthe mounting holes on the fixed housing. These are accessible from the frontwithout removing the front cover of the relay.

6. Wire the auxiliary power supply to the relay, (Do not apply voltage yet).

7. Wire the current transformer circuits to the relay. (Do not apply current to the inputsyet.)

8. Wire the appropriate output relay circuits to suit the application. (Do not applyvoltage yet.)

9. If applicable, wire the digital input circuits. (Do not apply voltage yet.)

Page 64: RLC 1st Manual

RLC RELAY (Rev.01.26.09.97) Page 63 of 140

10. Measure the auxiliary power supply voltage, the voltages for the output relays andthe voltage for the digital input. Confirm that these voltages are correct and withinthe acceptable range in accordance with the RLC Relay specifications. Only thenapply these voltages to the RLC Relay.

Measure the voltages at the terminals of the RLC Relay to confirm that the voltagesat the relay terminals are correct.

Check that with auxiliary power applied, the self-supervision relay #6 is energizedand that its contacts are in the correct state.

11. Check that the LCD screen of the RLC Relay is displaying the normal operationscreen display, that the green POWER ON / HEALTHY LED is ON, and that the redALARM and TRIP LED’s are off.

12. Access the main menu.

13. If the RLC Relay is to be used in the “H” CONFIGURATION MODE access theMODE SELECTION function and select this mode (the default mode on delivery isthe ‘NORMAL MODE”).

14. If the RLC Relay is to be configured for ‘NORMAL” mode:

• Configure the parameter settings for elements 1,2 and 3 to suit the application.

• Configure the parameter settings for element 4, to suit the application.

• Configure the parameter settings for element 5 to suit the application.

• Configure the OTHER settings to suit the application.

ALTERNATIVELY

If the RLC Relay is to be configured for the “H” CONFIGURATION MODE.

• Configure the parameter settings for elements 2, 3 and 4 to suit the application.

15. Save the parameter settings configured.

16. From the main menu, access the OUTPUT RELAY SETUP function.

17. Configure the functionality of output relays #1, #2, #3, #4, and #5 to suit theapplication.

18. Check that the output relay check-sums are correct for the desired output relayconfiguration.

Page 65: RLC 1st Manual

RLC RELAY (Rev.01.26.09.97) Page 64 of 140

19. Save the output relay functionality configured.

20. From the main menu, access the DIAGNOSTIC TEST sequence, and execute thediagnostic test. Confirm that all diagnostic tests produce satisfactory results.

21. From the main menu, access the SERIAL PORT options, and select the appropriatebaud rate for the serial port.

22. Save the baud rate setting.

23. Revert back to the normal running screen displays.

24. Perform primary or secondary injection tests, to inject current into the secondarycircuits and the RLC Relay current input terminals. Confirm that the normal runningparameters displayed are correct, and that the protective functions are operational.Perform any other relevant commissioning checks and tests.

25. Once any other commissioning tests associated with the complete installation arecompleted, and the associated circuit breaker is energized, check that theparameters displayed on the normal running screen are sensible and correct.

26. Compensate the unbalance currents.

27. Document all the commissioning tests and the RLC Relay settings carefully by fillingin the Commissioning Test Record of Appendix 5.

Page 66: RLC 1st Manual

RLC RELAY (Rev.01.26.09.97) Page 65 of 140

28. Whilst a RLC Relay is in service, the following functions may be performed on line:

• The normal operation screen displays may be accessed.

• The main menu may be accessed.

• The parameter set up menu may be accessed and any setting variables viewedor modified.

• The unbalance currents may be uncompensated or

• re-compensated.

• The output relay menu may be accessed and the configuration of any outputrelay may be viewed or modified.

• The diagnostic test sequence may be run.

• The trip history list may be browsed.

• The password set-up menu may be accessed in order to modify the passwordcode.

CAUTION

Performing any changes to element variable or other settings, changes tooutput relay configurations, or running the diagnostic test sequence to test

the output relays, may cause the associated circuit breaker to trip. This couldcause serious system disruption. Therefore the greatest care should be

exercised when performing these functions on-line, and the user should havea thorough knowledge of this entire manual as well as the particular

application and system.

Never change the mode of the RLC Relay while the relay is in serviceprotecting a capacitor bank or filter circuit.

All protective functions would be compromised and operation of theRLC Relay would be undefined for that particular installation because

the default settings of the new mode could be irrelevant. Theassociated circuit breaker could trip which could cause severe system

disruption.

8 TROUBLE SHOOTING

Before attempting to trouble-shoot the equipment, the user should thoroughly understandthis entire manual, and should have a prior knowledge of power system protection, powersystem measurements, and power system safety procedures. The user should studycarefully the applicable sections of this manual, taking particular note of WARNINGS,CAUTIONS and NOTES included for personnel and equipment protection.

For trouble-shooting and commissioning, the following equipment is required:

• Digital multimeter with clip-on current tong for measuring 1A or 5A current transformersecondaries.

• A single phase primary or secondary injection test set to enable injection of the CTnominal rated secondary currents into the RLC Relay measuring elements.

Due to the nature of the RLC Relay, it is not recommended that the user should attemptrepairs other than the removal and replacement of the draw-out unit which houses allelectrical and electronic parts.

If erroneous, inconsistent or nonsensical data is displayed on the RLC Relay, or if erraticfaulty operation is experienced by the user, check the various points listed on the FaultReport Check List of Appendix 6.

If the user has performed all the above checks, and is satisfied that no external or setting-upproblems exist which are causing the problems experienced, then return the RLC Relay toSTRIKE Technologies (Pty) Ltd together with the Fault Report of Appendix 6, documentingthe results of the Fault Report Check List, the details of the problem experienced, the RLCRelay front plate details, configuration set-up details, installation details, etc.

The user may elect to withdraw the draw-out unit from the fixed case and send this toSTRIKE Technologies (Pty) Ltd for checking, repair, testing and calibration. In this caseattention should be paid to the handling requirements, as detailed in Section 6.2.

Trip session A trip session starts from the first active trip condition until the last trip conditionhas been cleared. The visible observation of this session is defined by the timewhen the trip LED lights up to the time when the alarm LED goes off. During thistime the red ACCEPT key may be used to scroll through the different trips, butwill not acknowledge any trip events that may have occured.

APPENDIX 11: INJECTION TESTING

The RLC Relay is a complex device with many sophisticated protective functions. It is beyond thescope of this manual to fully detail how to comprehensively injection test the RLC Relay. Howeverthe following points should be noted.

Ideally to properly test the RLC Relay, one would require a 3 phase secondary injection test setwith the ability to inject not only mains frequency currents, but also complex 3 phase waveformswith harmonic currents superimposed or the fundamental currents. In this way one can properlytest and confirm the peak repetitive overvoltage protective functions, the rms thermal overcurrentprotective functions, and the mains frequency current protective functions including the star or “H”CONFIGURATION unbalance, line unbalance, earth fault, fundamental frequency over and undercurrent, breaker fail and breaker enable timer. Contact STRIKE Technologies (Pty) Ltd for furtherdetails on their VERITY 3 phase secondary current and voltage injection test set, which is capableof performing such tests.

Often the user will only have access to a single phase current injection test set. In this case theuser should preferably test each element separately, one protective function at a time, with allother protective functions disabled.

If testing several protective functions and/or elements simultaneously, the following must be kept inmind:

• The earth fault current Io is derived mathematically as the vector summation of the phasecurrents of elements 1, 2 and 3. Therefore the earth fault protective function should be testedby injecting 1/3 of the desired earth fault current into elements 1, 2 and 3 connected in series.This will generally avoid the other protective functions, including the line unbalance currentprotective function, from operating before the earth fault protective function.

• In order to test the line unbalance current function, inject a low magnitude single phase currentinto elements 1 and 2 (or elements 2 and 3) connected in series but with opposite polarities.This will avoid the earth fault protective function from operating.

• In order to test the overcurrent, undercurrent and thermal current, protective functions ofelements 1, 2 and 3, disable the earth fault protective function and inject a single phase currentinto elements 1, 2 and 3 connected in series. This will avoid both the earth fault and the lineunbalance current protective functions from operating. Alternatively disable both the earth faultand the line unbalance current protection functions. This will enable elements 1, 2 and 3 to betested individually, without all 3 elements connected in series.

• Without the ability to inject harmonic currents superimposed onto the fundamental current, thepeak repetitive overvoltage protective function of element 1, 2 and 3 can be easily tested bydisabling all other protective functions, and injecting a sinusoidal current into element 1, 2 or 3.It is suggested that Icr/In = 1 and vc>/vcr = 1,1 should be set. In this case, when a sinusoidalcurrent equal to In is injected (1A or 5A rms) then the calculated peak repetitive voltage vc/vcrshould be 1p.u. The vc>starter should operate for injected currents above 1,1In. Trip times forcurrents above the threshold (1,1In) may be checked against the inverse time curve of Fig. 8.

NOTES ON SETTINGS:

(1) Capacitor rated current in p.u. of line CT primary current.

(2) Capacitors made to IEC can withstand 110% of rated voltage for extendedperiods of time, and this would be the normal setting in practically all cases.

(3) With reference to Fig.7, it can be seen that for vc/vcr greater than 3,0 thepeak repetitive overvoltage withstand curve is undefined and therefore forcapacitor overvoltages above this value it is considered appropriate to tripwith a definite time delay.

(4) The associated definite delay is set at 0 (No intentional time delay).

(5) Refer to Fig.25 to see the effect of vc>reset:xt.

(6) The thermal overcurrent threshold should be set as the lowest continuousrms current rating of the series circuit.

(i.e. in this example the damping reactor current rating is the lowest of that ofthe fuses, contactor, cable, damping reactors and capacitor bank.)

(7) Refer to Appendix 14 for some guidance of the heating/cooling time constantof air-cored reactors. The time constant is the time taken for the reactors toreach 63% of their final temperature, for a step change in current from 0 to100%.

(i.e. the first order exponential time constant of the device.)

(8) For a system having a maximum system voltage of 107,5% of nominal, a lowset fundamental frequency overvoltage/overcurrent limit of 110% isconsidered appropriate. Above this value the associated definite timer willstart timing out.

(9) A value of 600s for this definite timer is considered appropriate to allow anyautomatic tap-changers to operate in the case of extended fundamentalfrequency system overvoltages (which in time causes fundamental frequencyovercurrent in the capacitor circuit).

(10) A fundamental frequency overcurrent above 150% of nominal would indicatea catastrophic failure of some kind requiring immediate tripping.

(11) Therefore the associated definite time delay is set to 0 (no intentional delay).

(12) Any undercurrent threshold significantly below nominal is appropriate.

Page 133: RLC 1st Manual

RLC RELAY (Rev.01.26.09.97) Page 132 of 140

(13) The undercurrent definite timer is set as 0,2s or any appropriate low value toavoid spurious trip outs.

(14) The breaker fail timer is set as 0,1s or any appropriate low value to avoidspurious breaker fail signal output.

(15) The breaker enable timer is set to enable breaker re-energization 300s(5min) after de-energization to allow the capacitor to discharge beforeswitching on again.

(16) Setting the digital input to Breaker-Bon allows the breaker enablere-switching timer and the undercurrent protection function to be used.

(17) – (20) These parameters are disabled because star point unbalance protection isnot provided (capacitor bank has a single star or delta configuration).Because the thresholds are disabled the timer setting is irrelevant.

(21) The fundamental frequency earth fault threshold is set to any suitable lowvalue below the 300A maximum earth fault current (as limited by the NeutralEarthing Resistor).

(22) The definite time delay is set to 0 (no intentional delay).

(23) Because the low set earth fault threshold definite time delay is set to 0, thehigh set threshold is disabled.

(24) Because the high-set threshold is disabled, the timer setting is irrelevant.

(25) The low set line unbalance current threshold should be set as low aspossible whilst avoiding spurious trip outs due to normal system line voltageunbalance. A line unbalance current of 5% of nominal capacitor current isconsidered suitable.

(26) The definite timer associated with the above is set at 2s to avoid trip out onshort term unbalance disturbance.

(27) The high set line unbalance current threshold is set as 10% of nominalcapacitor current.

(28) The definite timer associated with the above is set as 0,2s.

(8) For a system having a maximum system voltage of 105% of nominal, a lowset fundamental frequency overvoltage/overcurrent limit of 107,5% isconsidered appropriate. Above this value the associated definite timer willstart timing out.

(9) A value of 600s for this definite timer is considered appropriate to allow anyautomatic tap-changers to operate in the case of extended fundamentalfrequency system overvoltages (which in time causes fundamental frequencyovercurrents in the capacitor/filter circuit).

(16) Setting the digital input to Breaker-Bon allows the breaker enablere-switching timer and the undercurrent protection function to be used.

(17) The star point unbalance “alarm” current is set in p.u. of the star pointunbalance CT primary current. The star point “alarm” current level should beprovided by the capacitor unit and bank designer/manufacturer as it isdetermined by the specific capacitor unit and capacitor bank design(internally fused, externally fused, internal element configuration, externalcapacitor unit interconnections, etc.).

(18) The definite timer associated with the above is set as 10s to avoid alarms onshort term unbalance disturbances.

(19) The star point unbalance “trip” current is set in p.u. of the star pt unbalanceCT primary current. The star point “trip” current level should be provided bythe capacitor unit and bank designer/manufacturer.

(20) The definite timer associated with the above is set as 2s to avoid spurioustrips on short term unbalance disturbances. Also this timer should not be setless than 1s due to the response time of the calculation of the phase angle ofthe unbalance current, if the phase angle of this unbalance current is ofinterest to the user after a trip out.

(21) The fundamental frequency earth fault threshold is set to any suitably lowvalue below the expected earth fault current (as limited by the system andearth fault zero sequence impedance.

(22) The definite time delay is set to 0 (no intentional delay).

APPENDIX 14: CALCULATION OF THE REACTOR HEATING AND COOLING TIMECONSTANT (τ)

The correct heating and cooling time constant of a damping or filter reactor should normallybe obtained from the reactor manufacturer.

The formula below is considered accurate for reactor coils manufactured by Haefely-TrenchAustria, but may give default results in the absence of any other information.

τ = C1 * M/A
