SETTING CHECKS
The setting checks ensure that all of the application-specific relay settings (that is both the relays function and programmable scheme logic settings) for the particular installation have been correctly applied to the relay. If the application-specific settings are not available, ignore sections 6.1 and 6.2. Note: The trip circuit should remain isolated during these checks to prevent accidental operation of the associated circuit breaker.

6.1

Apply application-specific settings There are two methods of applying the settings: Transferring them from a pre-prepared setting file to the relay using a portable PC running the appropriate software (MiCOM S1 Studio) via the relays front EIA(RS)232 port, located under the bottom access cover, or the first rear communications port (Courier protocol with a KITZ protocol converter connected), or the second rear communications port. This method is preferred for transferring function settings as it is much faster and there is less margin for error. If programmable scheme logic other than the default settings with which the relay is supplied is to be used then this is the only way of changing the settings. If a setting file has been created for the particular application and provided on a diskette, this will further reduce the commissioning time and should always be the case where application-specific programmable scheme logic is to be applied to the relay. Enter them manually via the relays operator interface. This method is not suitable for changing the programmable scheme logic. Note: It is essential that where the installation needs applicationspecific Programmable Scheme Logic that the appropriate .psl file is downloaded (sent) to the relay, for each and every setting group that will be used. If the user fails to download the required .psl file to any setting group that may be brought into service, then factory default PSL will still be resident. This may have severe operational and safety consequences.

6.2

Check application-specific settings The settings applied should be carefully checked against the required application-specific settings to ensure they have been entered correctly. However, this is not considered essential if a customer-prepared setting file on diskette has been transferred to the relay using a portable PC. There are two methods of checking the settings: Extract the settings from the relay using a portable PC running the appropriate software (MiCOM S1 Studio) via the front EIA(RS)232 port, located under the bottom access cover, or the first rear communications port (Courier protocol with a KITZ protocol converter connected), or the second rear communications port. Compare the settings transferred from the relay with the original written application-specific setting record. (For cases where the customer has only provided a printed copy of the required settings but a portable PC is available). Step through the settings using the relays operator interface and compare them with the original application-specific setting record.

Unless previously agreed to the contrary, the application-specific programmable scheme logic will not be checked as part of the commissioning tests.

Due to the versatility and possible complexity of the programmable scheme logic, it is beyond the scope of these commissioning instructions to detail suitable test procedures. Therefore, when programmable scheme logic tests must be performed, written tests which will satisfactorily demonstrate the correct operation of the application-specific scheme logic should be devised by the Engineer who created it. These should be provided to the Commissioning Engineer together with the diskette containing the programmable scheme logic setting file. 6.3 Demonstrate correct relay operation Tests 4.2.9 and 4.2.10 have already demonstrated that the relay is within calibration, therefore the purpose of these tests is as follows: To determine that the primary protection function of the P343/4/5 relay, the current differential protection, can trip according to the correct application settings. To verify correct setting of the backup phase overcurrent protection (P342/3/4/5). To verify correct assignment of the trip contacts, by monitoring the response to a selection of fault injections.

6.3.1

Generator differential protection (P343/4/5) To avoid spurious operation of any other protection elements all protection elements except the generator differential protection should be disabled for the duration of the differential element tests. This is done in the relays CONFIGURATION column. Make a note of which elements need to be re-enabled after testing. For testing the biased differential protection select the Biased setting in the GEN DIFF., Gen Diff. Function menu and perform the tests described in section 6.3.1.2, 6.3.1.3 and 6.3.2. For testing the high impedance differential protection select the High Impedance setting in the GEN DIFF., Gen Diff. Function menu and perform the tests described in section 6.3.2. The P343/4/5 generator differential protection has three elements, one for each phase. The biased differential protection uses the maximum bias current in the three phases to bias the elements. The detailed bias characteristic is described in sub-document - Installation. The following instructions are for testing the bias characteristic of the B phase element. The bias current is applied to the A phase element.

6.3.1.1

Connect the test circuit The following tests require a variable transformer and two resistors connected as shown in figure 3. Alternatively an injection test set can be used to supply a and b currents.

For the biased differential protection a current is injected into the A phase A-2 input, (E3 - E2 (1A, 60TE case), E1 - E2 (5A, 60TE case), F3 - F2 (1A, 80TE case), F1 - F2 (5A, 80TE case)), which is used as the bias current, Bias = (A + A-2)/2 = A-2/2 as A=0. Another current is injected into the B phase B-2 input (E6 - E5 (1A, 60TE case), E4 - E5 (5A, 60TE case), F6 - F5 (1A, 80TE case), F4 - F5 (5A, 80TE case)) which is used as the differential current, Differential = B-2 - B = B-2 as B=0. a is always greater than b. 6.3.1.2 Biased differential protection lower slope If three LEDs have been assigned to give phase segregated trip information, Gen Diff Trip A, Gen Diff Trip B and Gen Diff Trip C (DDB 419, 420, 421), these may be used to indicate correct per-phase operation. If not, monitor options will need to be used - see the next paragraph. Go to the COMMISSION TESTS column in the menu, scroll down and change cells [0F05: Monitor Bit 1] to 419, [0F06: Monitor Bit 2] to 420 and [0F07: Monitor Bit 3] to 421. Cell [0F04: Test Port Status] will now appropriately set or reset the bits that now represent Phase A Trip (DDB 419), Phase B Trip (DDB 420) and Phase C Trip (DDB 421) with the rightmost bit representing Phase A Trip. From now on you should monitor the indication of [0F04: Test Port Status]. Adjust the variac and the resistor to inject 1 pu into A-2 to give a bias current of 0.5 pu in the A-phase. Note: 1pu = 1A into terminals E3 - E2 (60TE case), F3 - F2 (80TE case) for 1A applications; or 1pu = 5A into terminals E1 - E2 (60TE case), F1-F2 (80TE case) for 5A applications).

The relay will trip and any contacts associated with the A-phase will operate, and bit 1 (rightmost) of [0F04: Test Port Status] will be set to 1. Some LEDs, including the yellow alarm LED, will come on, but ignore them for the moment. Slowly increase the current in the B-phase B-2 input E6 - E5 (1A, 60TE), E4 - E5 (5A, 60TE case), F6 - F5 (1A, 80TE case), F4 - F5 (5A, 80TE case) until phase B trips (Bit 2 of [0F04: Test Port Status] is set to 1). Record the phase B current magnitude and check that it corresponds to the information below. Switch OFF the ac supply and reset the alarms.

Generator differential operation and contact assignment Phase A Retaining the same test circuit as before, prepare for an instantaneous injection of 4 x s1 pu current in the A phase, with no current in the B phase (B phase switch open). Connect a timer to start when the fault injection is applied, and to stop when the trip occurs. Determine which output relay has been selected to operate when a Gen. Diff. Trip occurs by viewing the relays programmable scheme logic. The programmable scheme logic can only be changed using the appropriate software. If this software is not available then the default output relay allocations will still be applicable. In the default PSL, relay 3 is the designated protection trip contact and DDB 418 Gen. Diff. Trip is assigned to this contact. If the generator differential trip is not mapped directly to an output relay in the programmable scheme logic, output relay 3 (H5-H6 in the 60TE case and L5-L6 in the 80TE case) should be used for the test as relay 3 initiates the trip led. Ensure that the timer is reset. Apply a current of 4 x the setting in cell [3002: GROUP 1 GEN DIFF., Gen Diff Is1] to the relay and note the time displayed when the timer stops. After applying the test check the red trip led and yellow alarm led turns on when the relay operates. Check Alarms/Faults Present - Tripped Phase A, Gen Diff Trip is on the display. Reset the alarms.

Phase B Reconfigure the test equipment to inject fault current into the B phase. Repeat the test in 6.3.2.1, this time ensuring that the breaker trip contacts relative to B phase operation close correctly. Record the phase B trip time. Check the red trip led and yellow alarm led turns on when the relay operates. Check Alarms/Faults Present - Tripped Phase B, Gen Diff Trip is on the display. Reset the alarms.

Phase C Repeat 6.3.2.2 for the C phase. The average of the recorded operating times for the three phases should be less than 30ms. Switch OFF the ac supply and reset the alarms. Upon completion of the tests any protection elements which were disabled for testing purposes must have their original settings restored in the CONFIGURATION column.

To avoid spurious operation of any other protection elements all protection elements except the overcurrent protection should be disabled for the duration of the overcurrent element tests. This is done in the relays CONFIGURATION column. Make a note of which elements need to be re-enabled after testing. 6.3.3.1 Connect the test circuit Determine which output relay has been selected to operate when a >1 trip occurs by viewing the relays programmable scheme logic. The programmable scheme logic can only be changed using the appropriate software. If this software has not been available then the default output relay allocations will still be applicable. If the trip outputs are phase-segregated (that is a different output relay allocated for each phase), the relay assigned for tripping on A phase faults should be used. If stage 1 is not mapped directly to an output relay in the programmable scheme logic, output relay 3 (H5 - H6 in the 60TE case and L5 - L6 in the 80TE case) should be used for the test as relay 3 initiates the trip LED.

Connect the output relay so that its operation will trip the test set and stop the timer. Connect the current output of the test set to the A phase current transformer input of the relay (terminals C3 - C2 (1A, 60TE case), D3 - D2 (1A, 80TE case) C1 - C2 (5A, 60TE case), D1 - D2 (5A, 80TE case)).

Ensure that the timer will start when the current is applied to the relay. Perform the test Ensure that the timer is reset. Apply a current of twice the setting in cell [3504: GROUP 1 OVERCURRENT, >1 Current Set] to the relay and note the time displayed when the timer stops. Check the red trip led and yellow alarm led turns on when the relay operates. Check Alarms/Faults Present - Started Phase A, Tripped Phase A, Overcurrent Start I>1, Overcurrent Trip I>1 is on the display. Reset all alarms. Note, the trip led is initiated from operation of relay 3, the protection trip contact in the default PSL. 6.3.3.3 Check the operating time Check that the operating time recorded by the timer is within the range shown in table 13. Note: Except for the definite time characteristic, the operating times given in table 13 are for a time multiplier or time dial setting of 1. Therefore, to obtain the operating time at other time multiplier or time dial settings, the time given in table 12 must be multiplied by the setting of cell [3506: GROUP 1 OVERCURRENT, >1 TMS] for IEC and UK characteristics or cell [3507: GROUP 1 OVERCURRENT, Time Dial] for IEEE and US characteristics.

The 100% stator earth fault protection via low frequency injection includes an overcurrent trip (64S I>1) an under resistance trip (64S R<2) and an under resistance alarm (64S R<1) element. It is only necessary to test the elements being used. To avoid spurious operation of any other protection elements all protection elements except the 100% stator earth fault protection should be disabled for the duration of the 100% stator earth fault tests. This is done in the relays CONFIGURATION column. Make a note of which elements need to be re-enabled after testing. 6.3.4.1 Connect the test circuit Determine which output relay has been selected to operate when a 64S I>1 Trip (DDB 756) and 64S R<2 Trip (DDB 757) and 64S R<1 Alarm Trip (DDB 382) occurs by viewing the relays programmable scheme logic. The programmable scheme logic can only be changed using the appropriate software. If this software is not available then the default output relay allocations will still be applicable. If the 64S protection signals are not independently mapped directly to an output relay in the programmable scheme logic, output relay 3 and 4 (L5 - L6 and L7 L8 in the P345) could be used in the default PSL to check the operation of the protection functions. In the default PSL relay 3 is the designated protection trip contact and 64S I>1 Trip (DDB 756) and 64S R<2 Trip (DDB 757) are assigned to this contact. In the default PSL relay 4 is the designated general alarm contact and 64S R<1 Alarm Trip (DDB 382) is assigned to this contact. Note, in the default PSL relay 3 is set to operate the Any Trip signal (DDB 626) which initiates the trip LED.
