Customer benefits
This architecture can
accommodate the most
complex substation layouts
and different CT classes
and manufacturers.
The use of fibre optics for
communication between
Peripheral Units and the
Central Unit gives the
following advantages:
- High communication
speed
- Eliminates insulation
problems
Fast fault clearance
(Typical tripping time 15 ms).

>> The consequences of a fault

on the busbars of a power
transmission or distribution
network substation may be very
serious. Poor quality of supply to
consumers and damage to the
electrical equipment are very
real threats.

ALSTOM has developed a new

and fully numerical busbar
protection. The primary
objectives are to provide total
protection stability under normal
operating conditions and for all
external faults, whilst reacting
quickly to internal faults. This
protection scheme is the
MiCOM P740.
The MiCOM P740 provides
high-speed protection (<1 cycle)
which meets the requirements of
the most demanding
specifications for extra high
voltage transmission networks.
The MiCOM P740 differential
busbar protection protects
configurations up to 8 zones
and 32 feeders. Its architecture
may be centralised in one
cubicle, or distributed around the
substation.

> Architecture
The architecture of the numerical
differential busbar protection is built
around a P741 Central Unit (CU) which
gathers and processes all the analogue
measurements from the P742 and P743
Peripheral Units (PU) via direct fibre
optic connections.
It is possible to protect:
8 zones.
32 Peripheral Units per Central Unit.

Busbar bias differential protection.
Check Zone protection

The MiCOM P740 uses new universal

algorithms based on operational
research which create, in real time,
architectures of up to 8 zones.
> Stabilisation against
CT saturation
One of the most important objectives of
a differential busbar protection is to
ensure stability when CTs become
saturated, particularly under external
fault conditions.
In order to avoid this risk of
maloperation, the MiCOM P740 uses
innovative ultra high-speed algorithms
based on signal consistence variation
model (registered patent).

Breaker Fail protection

(general 3 poles trip).

> Bias characteristic

The operation of the MiCOM P740 is
based on an algorithm with a
characteristic (see figure 2) in which the
differential current is compared with a
bias value.
The purpose of this characteristic is to
ensure the stability of the protection
when there is an external fault, differing
CT tolerances and errors which
otherwise would lead to spurious
detection of an in-zone fault.
> Global supervision by
check zone element
One of the most frequent causes of the
maloperation of busbar protection
schemes is an error in actual plant
status. This leads to the production of a
differential current.

Models available
> Peripheral Units (P742/3)

between CTs and circuit-breakers).

Busbar protection

The operation of the MiCOM P740 is

based on the numerical application of
Kirchoff's Law for the selective detection
and ultra high-speed isolation of a
faulty section of a busbar.

Fibre Optic signalling channels

However, if all currents of the whole

substation are taken into account, their
sum will remain null if a fault is not
present, irrespective of the error in plant
status/position.
Consequently, the tripping order for a
zone element is conditional on the
operation of a check zone element.
The main advantage of this element is
the total insensitivity to defective
auxiliary contacts.
> Dead zone or Blind spot
The current transformers surrounding the
busbars define the limits of the main
zones. When the circuit breaker is
opened a dead zone or blind spot is
automatically created between the CB
and the associated CT.
> Continuous supervision of the
current circuits by
measurement of the
differential current value
Under normal operating conditions the
differential current will be negligible. An
anomaly is detected by a threshold,
ID>1, which can be set to alarm from
1% of the primary basis current (Ibp).
> Differential current setting
When switching operations are carried
out in the substation, incorrect topology
replicas may occur. In this case, a
differential current appears.
The differential elements of the MiCOM
P740 are allowed to operate only if the
differential current reaches a threshold
ID>2 which is set above the highest load
current.
> Stabilisation of the protection
in the event of CT saturation
for external fault
One main quality of the MiCOM P740
is its ability to detect CT saturation in
less than 2 ms.
The signal processing algorithms
implemented in the MiCOM P740
combine a simulation of the flux built up
in the core of the CTs with a recursive
consistence variation control
(registered patent).
> Additional ultra high speed
external fault blocking
The ultra high-speed saturation detection
is carried out in each PU and can
generate a control signal from the
moment of the first sample (0.4 ms).

Additional protection

The MiCOM P740 offers phasesegregated protection and a separate

element for earth fault detection.

The following back-up protection

functions are implemented locally in the
Peripheral Units (P742/P743).

> Multiple tripping criteria

> Phase and Earth Fault

overcurrent protection either
Definite Time (DT) or IDMT
(IEC/UK, IEEE/US curves)

The MiCOM P740 maintains the highest

level of stability, under all conditions
including:
> A hardware failure
> Incoherence of signals applied from
external plant or generated by the
power system.
> Any tripping order must therefore be
made conditional on the simultaneous
occurrence of 5 or 6 criteria:
> Magnitude criteria; confirmation of
two simultaneous thresholds per zone:
Exceeding the bias slope
characteristic (k)
Exceeding differential operating
current threshold (ID>2).
> Exceeding the supervision threshold
(ID>1).
> Signal quality criteria:
No CT saturation detected
Current variation detected on at
least two Peripheral Units
No discrepancy detected.
> Time or angular criterion.
The measurement elements on 2
samples taken at 1200 Hz.
A first sample for the initial
measurement and a second sample
for trip confirmation.
> Check zone supervision.
The zone element(s) are only
permitted to trip if the order is
confirmed by the check zone element.
> Local criteria (optional)
The Peripheral Units can be set to
only authorise tripping if there is
confirmation by local overcurrent
criteria.

Two independent stages are available

for phase and earth:
> First stage (I>1 or IN>1) can be
programmed as Definite Time (DT)
delay or dependant on one of nine
inverse time (IDMT) curves
(IEC/UK and IEEE/US).
> Second stage (I>2 or IN>2) can only
be programmed as definite time.
> External Breaker Failure
protection from the busbar
protection system
The usual 50 BF relay is totally
independent of the others and the
control connection with the busbar
protection system is hardwired. Receipt
of an external 50BF information results
in tripping of all the adjacent circuit
breakers, via the topological recognition
system knowing which breaker is
connected to which zone.
> Internal breaker failure
protection in the busbar
protection system
Some operators prefer an integrated
solution, which requires all Peripheral
Units to receive a duplication of the trip
commands generated in their associated
bay.
In general the Breaker Failure protection
must be executed on a per phase basis
which involves the possibility of
receiving tripping orders on a per pole
basis.

Matching CT Transformer ratios

> Balancing protection
The MiCOM P740 can correct mismatch
between current transformer ratios over
a very wide range up to 40. Its
associated user interface provides a
range between 1 A and 30,000 A
primary.
> Common base ratio
Since the current transformer ratings in
a substation may be of mixed ratios, the
MiCOM P740 enables a common base
current to be defined, irrespective of the
feeder section concerned. The settings
on the CU are all adjusted to this
common current, known as the primary
basis current (Ibp).

> Differential protection (87 BB) and

Circuit Breaker Failure protection
(50 BF) in monitoring mode. The
additional local protection functions
(51, 51N, etc...) remain operational.
> Peripheral Units - PU
(P742 and P743)
A selective two-level command may be
applied selectively for each PU.
> Maintenance of bay(s) for human
intervention. In this state,
all I/O are deactivated.
The busbar protection is still in
service, but the CB of the feeder in
service can not be tripped.
> Intervention on the equipment for
maintenance and testing.

Control
Isolation and downgraded
operating mode
For ease of operation or maintenance of
the busbar protection system, the
Central Unit and the Peripheral Units
can receive specific commands designed
to allow system testing or other
intervention without any danger of
unwanted tripping.
> Central Unit - CU (P741)

A central command to isolate the

busbars at two levels can be applied
selectively zone by zone.
> Differential protection (87 BB) in
monitoring mode (measurements
active and tripping deactivated).
The Breaker Failure protection
remains operational.

> Circuit breaker control

The circuit breaker control is available
from the front panel user interface, or
the optically isolated inputs.
> Programmable scheme logic
Powerful Programmable Scheme Logic
(PSL) allows the user to customise the
protection and control functions. It is
also used to program the functionality of
the optically isolated inputs, relay
outputs and LED indications.
The PSL uses up to 256 logic gates and
8 timers and is configured using the
graphical MiCOM S1 PC based
software as illustrated in Figure 3.

> Independent protection

settings groups
The settings are divided into two
categories: protection settings and
control and configuration settings. Four
settings groups are provided for the
protection settings to allow different
operating conditions and adaptive
relaying.

Measurement and recording

facilities
The P740 series relays are capable of
measuring and storing the values
associated with a fault. All the events,
faults records and disturbance records
are time tagged to 1 ms using an
internal real time clock. An IRIG-B port
is also provided for accurate time
synchronisation.
A lithium battery provides a back up for
the real time clock and all records in the
event of supply failure.
> Measurements
The measurements provided, which may
be viewed in primary or secondary
values, can be accessed via the back lit
liquid crystal display. They are also
accessible via the communication ports.

Local communications port

> Event recorder

All the relays are equipped with a local

communications port on the front face.
The PUs are also accessible from one
central point via the protection
communication channel, i.e. via the
P741 Central Unit.

Up to 250 time tagged event records

are stored in battery backed memory,
and can be extracted via the
communication port or be viewed on the
front panel display.
> Fault recorder
Records of the last 5 faults are stored in
the battery-backed memory.
Each fault record includes:
Indication of the faulted phase
Indication of the faulted zone (CU)
Protection element operated
Active setting group
Fault duration
Currents and frequency (PU)
Faulty zone differential and
bias current (CU)
> Disturbance Recorder
The internal disturbance recorder stores
on non-volatile memory:
8 analogue channels
ibias/idiff (CU)
iA, iB, iC, iN (PU)
32 digital channels
1 time channel
Data is sampled 12 times a cycle
20 (PU) & 8 (CU) disturbance records
Max. duration of each record for
PU: 10.5 s & CU: 600 ms
All channels and trigger sources user
configured (PU)

The local communication port is

designed to be used with MiCOM S1. It
deals with the local functions and allows
the user to program bay settings and to
configure the PSL. Extraction and
viewing of events, disturbance recording
and the fault records is also possible.
