3.1 Mechanical Protection (MR)

3.1.1 Overview
When the mechanical signal from transformer mechanical relay (MR) arrives at PCS-974, it
repeats the mechanical signal to annunciation signal, remote signal, and disturbance&fault
recording (DFR) signal, and trip signals. Simultaneously, the relay stores the state change of a
binary input of MR signal, the repeated alarm signal and the repeated operation signal.
According to the difference of the importance of mechanical signals transformer MR protection, the
mechanical signals are classified into three groups: mechanical signals for warning, mechanical
signals for tripping with delay, and mechanical signals for direct tripping.
For the mechanical signal for warning, such as light gas signal, the relay repeats the mechanical
signal for those warning signals. For the mechanical signal for tripping with delay, besides those
warning signals, the relay issues tripping signal with time delay to make tripping output relay
operate simultaneously. For the mechanical signals for direct tripping, besides those warning
signals, the relay issues tripping signal directly simultaneously.
Mechanical signals MR1~MR20 (three phase signals) of PCS-974FG relay are not controlled by
the relays CPU, which means that when the mechanical signal arrives, the relay will issue the
corresponding warning signals. Besides, the relay can operate to trip directly at the same time if
the input terminals of RLY module are connected to the corresponding tripping signal contact.
Besides, among 20x3 mechanical signals, mechanical signal MR1~MR4 (three phase signals) can
be controlled by the relay CPU, i.e. those mechanical signals are repeated to trip after a delay with
warning signals being issued simultaneously.
3.1.2 Tripping Directly

When any of mechanical signals (MR1~MR20, three phase signals) arrives at the PCS-974FG, it
requires the device to initiate a trip command immediately without any time delay. The wiring
schematic is seen in Figure 3.1-1. As soon as the normal open contact of transformer MR is closed,
the PCS-974FG starts trip command right away. At the same time, the device issues annunciation
signal, remote signal and DFR signal via corresponding terminals.

NOTE:
When any one phase signal of the mechanical signals MR1, MR2, MR20
arrive, associated normal open contact of binary output relay is closed to issue a trip
command. It will not drop off until the mechanical signal is gone.
3.1.3 Tripping with Time Delay

Occasionally, when some mechanical fault happens, such as power failure of transformer cooling
system, after the fault is isolated by associated MR, it allows the transformer to continue operating
for a certain time that is decided by transformer characteristics, customers application standard,
etc. Consequently, this group of mechanical signals (MR1~M04, three phase signals) is used in an
application where it needs a time delay from the PCS-974FG receiving the mechanical fault signal
to it initiating a trip command. The wiring schematic is proposed in Figure 3.1-2.

Trip with Time Delay
Once the normal open contact of transformer MR is closed, a normal open contact 1 of the relay is
closed to conduct the optical coupler. After a configurable time delay, normal open contact 2 is
closed by the special processing circuit to initiate a trip command to open CB and issue several
alarm annunciation signals.
NOTE: When any one phase signal of the mechanical signals MR1~MR4 arrives,
associated normal open contact of binary output relay is closed after a time delay or

without time delay to issue a trip command. It will not drop off until the mechanical signal
is gone.
3.1.4 Logic of MR Trip with Time Delay

PCS-974FG provides four MR trip elements with time delay, MR1, MR2, MR3 and MR4. The
protection logical diagram of MR1 is slightly different from the others, and operation logic of phase
A of MR1 signal is shown in Figure 3.1-3.

logic settings.
(1) When [MR1.En_FixDly] is set as 1 and MR1 arrives, after a delay of [MR1.t_FixDly],
PCS-974FG initiates a trip command to CB.
(2) When [MR1.En_OpDly] is set as 1 and [MR1.En _MR14CtrlMR1] is set as 0, MR1
protection is out of control of MR14 signal and [MR1.t_OpDly] has the same meaning as
[MR1.t_FixDly].
(3) When both [MR1.En_OpDly] and [MR1.En _MR14CtrlMR1] are set as 1, MR1 protection is
under the control of MR14 signal. As MR1 arrives and hold for [MR1.t_OpDly], if
[BI_PhA_MR14] is still 0, MR1 protection is blocked by MR10 signal to issue a trip command
to CB. If MR1 signal arrives and hold for [MR1.t_OpDly], now supposing that [BI_PhA_MR14]
is 1, PCS-974FG initiates a trip command.
In this cooperation way, [MR1.t_FixDly] should be set longer than [MR1.t_OpDly]. Otherwise,
[MR1.t_OpDly] will not actually function.
3.1.4.2 Logic of MR2~MR4

3.2 Pole Disagreement Protection (PD)

With voltage level involved, the switching equipment usually consists of single pole devices that
3-4
Date: 2013-05-17
3 Operation Theory
are not mechanically linked, with each pole having an independent operating mechanism. With
such an arrangement, the possibility exists that one pole may not operate coincidentally with the
other poles, thus creating an undesirable imbalance in system voltages or, in case the switching
equipment were called upon to clear a fault, might fail to remove the faulted source from service.
So that if a pole disagreement fault is detected, after a certain delay, PCS-974FG will initiate a trip
command to trip all poles of the switching equipment.
3.2.1 Control Element

PCS-974FG provides three kinds of overcurrent control elements for pole disagreement protection:
phase overcurrent element, residual overcurrent element and negative-sequence overcurrent
element which are configurable by logic settings and are OR relation to release pole
disagreement protection.

3.3 Breaker Failure Initiation (50BF)

This function is specifically used to detect breaker failure which is that breaker fails to be tripped to
clear fault after it receives tripping command. After breaker failure is detected, contacts of initiating
breaker failure initiation are sent out to external relay which is responsible for issuing tripping
command.
3.3.1 Operation Criteria

Breaker failure initiation in PCS-974FG is initiated by one of three elements: phase overcurrent
element, residual current element or negative sequence current element. Followings are criteria of
those elements:

3.4 CT Circuit Supervision (CTS)

If negative sequence current is greater than 0.1In (In is the secondary rated current.) or residual
current is greater than 0.06In over 10s, the device will issue an alarm message as [AlmL_CTS] on
LCD. For the meantime, LED ALARM is lit on and associated normal open contacts of
equipment alarm relay are closed to issue annunciation signal, remote signal and event recording.
This alarm information can also be sent to SCADA by communication port. At this time, the device
can also endure on service.
The LED ALARM will be extinguished automatically 10s later after the three-phase current

4.1 Overview
Though the protection system is in non-operating state under normal conditions, it is waiting for a
power system fault to occur at any time and must operate for the fault without fail. When
equipment is in energizing process before the LED HEALTHY is on, the equipment needs to be
checked to ensure no errors. Therefore, the automatic supervision function, which checks the
health of the protection system when startup and during normal operation, plays an important role.
The numerical relay based on the microprocessor operations is suitable for implementing this
automatic supervision function of the protection system.
In case a fatal fault is detected during automatic supervision, the equipment will be blocked. It
means that relay is out of service. Before you must re-energize the relays or reset CPU module
and MON module to make relay back into service, please find out the cause and inform the
factory.
When a failure is detected by the automatic supervision, it is followed with an LCD message, LED
indication and alarm contact outputs. At the same time event recording will record the failure alarm
which can be viewed in event recording report and be printed.
4.2 Relay Self-supervision

4.2.1 Relay Hardware Supervision
All chips on each module are monitored to ensure whether they are damaged or have errors. If
any one of them is detected damaged or having error, the corresponding alarm signal
[ProtBrd.Fail_DSP] or [FDBrd.Fail_DSP] is issued with equipment being blocked.
AC current inputs are monitored and if the samples are detected to be wrong or inconsistent, an
alarm [ProtBrd.Fail_Sampel] or [FDBrd.Fail_Sample] will be issued and the relay will be blocked.
4.2.2 Output Circuit Supervision

State of binary outputs on each BO module at slot BXX(XX is the slot number) is continuously
monitored.
If any abnormality is detected on the module and the output contact for tripping, the corresponding
alarm signal [BXX.Fail_Output] will be issued with equipment being blocked.
If any abnormality is detected on the module and the output contact for signal, the corresponding
alarm signal [BXX.Alm_Output] will be issued without equipment being blocked.
4.2.3 Setting Checking

This relay has 10 setting groups, while only one is active at the same time. The settings of active
setting group are checked to ensure they are reasonable. If settings are checked to be
unreasonable or out of setting scopes, a corresponding alarm signal will be issued, and the
protective device is also blocked.

4.2.4 Memory Checking

Data in non-volatile memory, which are not changed after device energized, are always checked
during device normal operation, such as settings, pointers, etc. If these data changed abnormally,
the corresponding alarm [ProtBrd.Memory] or [FDBrd.Memory] will be issued.
4.2.5 Opto-coupler Power Supervision

Positive power supply of opto-coupler on each BI module at slot XX is continuously monitored, and
if a failure or damage on the module is detected, then the alarm signal [BXX.Alm_OptoDC] will be
issued.
4.2.6 Fault Detector Element Supervision

If any fault detector picks up to trigger oscillography function, the corresponding binary input
changing report will be recorded in IO Events menu with tripping report [TrigDFR] being issued.
If a fault detector for protection or fault detector calculation keeps picking up for 10s, the
corresponding alarm signal [ProtBrd.Alm_PersistPkp] or [FDBrd.Alm_Pkp] will be issued without
equipment being blocked.
4.2.7 Test Mode Supervision

When protection equipment is in communication test mode the alarm signal [Alm_CommTest] is
issued without blocking equipment.
4.3 Equipment Operation Supervision

4.3.1 Current Transformer Supervision (CTS)
The CTS function will be always processed all the time, which includes following two aspects
The CTS logic in the relay is designed to detect the CT secondary circuit to ensure that current
measurement is the actual value of power system. The main purpose of the CTS function is to
ensure the integrity of the CT circuits maintaining the performance of protective equipment.
If negative sequence current is greater than 0.1In (In is the secondary rated current.) or residual
current is greater than 0.06In over 10s, the device will issue an alarm message as [AlmL_CTS] on
LCD. For the meantime, LED ALARM is lit on and associated normal open contacts of
equipment alarm relay are closed to issue annunciation signal, remote signal and event recording.
This alarm information can also be sent to SCADA by communication port. At this time, the device
can also endure on service.
The LED ALARM will be extinguished automatically 10s later after the three-phase current
returns to normal state.

4.4 Failure and Abnormality Alarms

NOTE Following alarm messages and corresponding LED indicators are fixed in
equipment software. Besides, there are other programmable LED indicators configured
according to user requirement.
4.4.1 Hardware Self-supervision Alarms

Equipment hardware circuits and software working conditions are always monitored by the relay. If
any abnormality occurs, the corresponding alarm message will be issued on the LCD of the
equipment.
When some light failures are detected, part of protection functions probably be disabled and
others can still work. Some server failures of hardware or software will result in the equipment
being blocked and the contacts of equipment failure will operate at same time. During that
condition, the protection relay has to be out of service for maintenance.
NOTEIf an alarm signal is issued with equipment being blocked, please try to make a fault
diagnosis by referring the issued alarm messages but not to simply reboot or re-power the
relay. If user cannot find the failure reason on site, please inform manufacturer for
maintenance.

5.3.3 Disturbance and Fault Recording

5.3.3.1 Application
Use the disturbance recorder to achieve a better understanding of the behavior of the power
network and related primary and secondary equipment during and after a disturbance. An analysis
of the recorded data provides valuable information that can be used to improve existing equipment.
This information can also be used when planning for new installations.
5.3.3.2 Design
Disturbance recorder is consisted of tripping report and fault waveform. Disturbance recorder is
triggered by fault detectors. The equipment can store 64 pieces of trip reports and waveforms in
non-volatile memory.
When protection operates, the operating information will be displayed on LCD and logged as trip
record at same time, which can be viewed in trip report. Here fault recording includes two kinds of
cases:
1)
Only the fault detector element operates.
2)
The fault detector element operates associated with the operation of protective elements.
1.
Trip record capacity and information
The equipment can store 64 pieces of trip reports in non-volatile memory. If a new fault occurs
when 64 faults have been stored, the oldest will be overwritten by the latest one..
The following items are recorded for one fault:
1)
Sequence number
Each operation will be recorded with a sequence number in the report and displayed on LCD
screen.
2)
Date and time of fault occurrence
The time resolution is 1 ms using the relay internal clock. Initiating date and time is when a fault
detector picks up. Relative time is the time when protection element operates to send tripping
signal after fault detector picks up.
3)
Faulty phase
The faulty phase detected by the operating element is showed in the record report.
4)
Trip mode
This shows the protection element that issues the tripping command. If no protection operates to
trip but only equipment fault detector picks up, fault report will record the title of fault detector.
2.
Fault waveform record capacity and information
MON module of the relay can store 64 pieces of fault waveform oscillogram in non-volatile memory.
If a new fault occurs, when 64 fault waveform recorders have been stored, the oldest will be
5-2
Date: 2013-05-17
5 Management
overwritten by the latest one.

Each fault record consists of all analog and digital quantities related to protection, such as original
current and voltage, differential current, alarm elements, and binary inputs and etc.
Each time recording includes 2-cycle pre-fault waveform and most 250 cycles can be recorded.
5.3.4 Present Recording

Present recording is used to record a piece of waveform of present operation equipment which
can be trigger manually on LCD of equipment or remotely through PCS-Explorer software.
Recording content of present recording is same to that of disturbance recording.
Each time recording includes 2-cycle waveform before triggering, and up to 250 cycles can be
recorded.

The PCS-974 adopts 64-bit microchip processor CPU produced by FREESCALE as control core
for logic calculation and management function, meanwhile, adopts high-speed digital signal
processor DSP to be in charge of all the protection calculation. 24 points are sampled in every
cycle and parallel processing of sampled data can be realized in each sampling interval to ensure
ultra-high reliability and safety of protection equipment.
The working process of the device is as follows: firstly, the current and voltage is converted into
small voltage signal and sent to DSP module after being filtered and converted by AD for
protection calculation and fault detector respectively. When DSP module completes all the
protection calculation, the result will be sent to 64-bit CPU on MON module to be recorded. DSP
module 1 carries out protection logic calculation, tripping output, and MON module completes
SOE (sequence of event) record, waveform recording, printing, communication between
protection and SAS and communication between HMI and CPU. The work process of fault
detector DSP module is similar to that of protection DSP module, and the only difference is, when
fault detector DSP module decides a fault detector picks up, only positive power supply of output
relay is switched on.
The PCS-974 is comprised of intelligent modules, except that few particular modules position
cannot be changed in the whole device (please refer to Figure 6.2-1 for details), the others like AI
(analog input) module such as AC current, AC voltage, DC current, and etc., and IO (input and
output) module such as binary input, tripping output, signal output, and etc can be flexibly
configured according to the remained slot positions.

Processing mechanism for MMS (Manufacturing Message Specification) message

a)
The protection device should send the state of this binary input to client.
b)
When this binary input is energized, the bit Test of quality (Q) in the message sent
change 1.
c)
When this binary input is energized, the client cannot control the isolator link and circuit
breaker, modify settings and switch setting group remotely.
d)
According to the value of the bit Test of quality (Q) in the message sent, the client
discriminate whether this message is maintenance message, and then deal with it
correspondingly. If the message is the maintenance message, the content of the message
will not be displayed on real-time message window, audio alarm not issued, but the picture
is refreshed so as to ensure that the state of the picture is in step with the actual state. The
maintenance message will be stored, and can be inquired, in independent window.
Processing mechanism for GOOSE message

a)
When this binary input is energized, the bit Test in the GOOSE message sent by the
protection device changes 1.
b)
For the receiving end of GOOSE message, it will compare the value of the bit Test in the
GOOSE message received by it with the state of its own binary input (i..e
[BI_Maintenance]), the message will be thought as invalid unless they are conformable.
Processing mechanism for SV (Sampling Value) message

a)
When this binary input of merging unit is energized, the bit Test of quality (Q) of sampling
data in the SV message sent change 1.
b)
For the receiving end of SV message, if the value of bit Test of quality (Q) of sampling
data in the SV message received by it is 1, the relevant protection functions will be
disabled, but under maintenance state, the protection device should calculate and display
the magnitude of sampling data.
c)
For duplicated protection function configurations, all merging units of control module
configured to receive sampling should be also duplicated. Both dual protection devices
and dual merging units should be fully independent each other, and one of them is in
maintenance state will not affect the normal operation of the other.

6.2.9 AC AI Module (AC Analog Input)

6.2.9.1 AC Analog Input Module (NR1401)
The protection device which supports ECVT should not be equipped with this module. The analog
input module can transform these high AC input values to relevant low AC output value for the
DSP module. The transformers are used both to step-down the currents and voltages to levels
appropriate to the electronic circuitry of this device and to provide effective isolation between this
device and the power system. A low pass filter circuit is connected to each transformer (CT or VT)
secondary circuit for reducing the noise of each analog AC input signal.
NOTE!
The rated value of the input current transformer is optional: 1A or 5A. The rated
value of the CT must be definitely declared in the technical scheme and the contract.
NOTE!
Because the rated value of the input current transformer is optional, it is
necessary to check whether the rated values of the current transformer inputs are
accordant to the demand of the engineering before putting the device into operation.
described as below.

6.3 Scheme Diagram of Input and Output of MR

According to the difference of the importance of transformer MR protection, the mechanical signals
are classified into two groups described in the following sections. They may lead to different
equipment operation.
(1) MR signals (MR1~MR20, three phase signals) are repeated to issue trip command directly are
connected to the corresponding terminals of each phase to initiate trip output relays without
time delay and send out warning signals immediately.
(2) Some MR signals (MR1~MR4, three phase signals) are repeated to issue trip command with
time delay are connected to corresponding terminals of each phase to initiate trip output relays
with time delay which can be configured in the equipment, and send out warning signals
immediately.
NOTE!
The wiring of binary input, signal output and tripping output of mechanical
protection is shown in the following figures, in which dashed lines are the external wiring
for panel design. The following design is only a recommended design which can be
changed according to user requirements by panel wiring designer.

6.4 Output Signals

PCS-974FG provides three kinds of signals for every event, remote signals, annunciation signals
and DFR signals. The event may be a mechanical signal from transformer mechanical relay, an
equipment failure, an equipment alarm or activation of pole-disagreement protection element.
All the signals are issued by closing the normal open contacts of signal relays whenever an event
happens. What matters is that the local signal relay is a bistable-relay, whenever an event
happens, the normal open contact of this relay will pick up and latch. The annunciation signal relay
will not drop off automatically after the event disappears except to reset manually. Annunciation
signal relays on two relay output modules can be reset by the reset button on the equipment front
panel or by the binary input [BI_RstTarg]. And annunciation signals on IO module can be reset by
a reset input terminal.

Conventional mode and SAS mode are always be supported by device, but Advanced mode
is only supported when NET-DSP module is equipped. The alarm signal [Alm_TimeSyn] may be
issued to remind user loss of time synchronization signals.
1)
When SAS is selected, if there is no conventional clock synchronization signal, the device
will not send the alarm signal [Alm_TimeSyn]. When Conventional mode is selected, if there
is no conventional clock synchronization signal, SAS mode will be enabled automatically
with the alarm signal [Alm_TimeSyn] being issued simultaneously.
2)
When Advanced mode is selected, if there is no conventional clock synchronization signal

connected to NET-DSP moduleSAS mode is enabled automatically with the alarm signal
[Alm_TimeSyn] being issued simultaneously.
3)
When NoTimeSyn mode is selected, the device will not send alarm signals without
NOTE! The clock message via IEC103 protocol is invalid when the device receives the
IRIG-B signal through RC-485 port.
7.
[IP_Server_SNTP]
It is the address of the SNTP time synchronization server which sends SNTP timing messages to
the relay or BCU.
8.
[OffsetHour_UTC], [OffsetMinute_UTC]
When the IEC61850 protocol is adopted in substations, if the time tags of communication
messages are required according to Universal Time Coordinated (UTC), the two settings are
used to set the local time of a country or area where the relay is installed. If there is no such a
requirement, the two settings must be set as 0.
Example 1: In China where UTC offset is UTC +8:00, [OffsetHour_UTC] and [OffsetMinute_UTC]
should be set as 8hrs and 0min respectively.
Example 2: In Argentina where UTC offset is UTC-3:00,
[OffsetMinute_UTC] should be set as -3hrs and 0min respectively.
[OffsetHour_UTC]
and
Example 3: In Nepal where UTC offset is UTC +5:45, [OffsetHour_UTC] and [OffsetMinute_UTC]
should be set as +5hrs and 45min respectively.

The operator can access the protective device from the front panel. Local communication with the
protective device is possible using a computer via a multiplex RJ45 port on the front panel.
Furthermore, remote communication is also possible using a PC with the substation automation
system via rear RS485 port or rear Ethernet port. The operator is able to check the protective
device status at any time.
This chapter describes human machine interface (HMI), and give operator an instruction about
how to display or print event report, setting and so on through HMI menu tree and display metering
value, including RMS current, voltage and frequency etc. through LCD. Procedures to change
active setting group or a settable parameter value through keypad are also described in details.
NOTE
About two measurement items in menu Measurements, please refer to the following
description:
Measurement1 is used to display measured values for protection calculation.
Measurement2 is used to display measured values for fault detector calculation.
8.1 Overview
The human-machine interface consists of a human-machine interface (HMI) module which allows
a communication to be as simple as possible for the user. The HMI module helps to draw your
attention to something that has occurred which may activate a LED or a report displayed on the
LCD. Operator can locate the data of interest by navigating the keypad.

8.1.4 Ethernet Pot Setup

MON plug-in module is equipped with two or four 100Base-TX Ethernet interface, take NR1102C
as an example, as shown in Figure 8.1-5.
The Ethernet port can be used to communication with PC via auxiliary software (PCS-Explorer)
after connecting the protection device with PC, so as to fulfill on-line function (please refer to the
instruction manual of PCS-Explorer). At first, the connection between the protection device and PC
must be established. Through setting the IP address and subnet mask of corresponding Ethernet
interface in the menu SettingsDevice SetupCommunication Settings, it should be
ensured that the protection device and PC are in the same network segment. For example, setting
the IP address and subnet mask of network A. (using network A to connect with PC)
PC: IP address is set as 198.87.96.102, subnet mask is set as 255.255.255.0
The IP address and subnet mask of protection device should be [IP_LAN1]= 198.87.96.XXX,
8-5
Date: 2013-05-17
[Mask_LAN1]=255.255.255.0, [En_LAN1]=1. (XXX can be any value from 0 to 255 except 102)
If the logic setting [En_LAN1] is non-available, it means that network A is always enabled.

For the situation that the fault report and the self-check alarm report occur simultaneously in the
following figure, the upper half part is fault report, and the lower half part is self-check report. As to
the upper half part, it displays separately the record number of fault report, fault name, generating
time of fault report (with a format of yy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss:), protection element and tripping element.
If there is protection element, there is relative time on the basis of fault detector element and fault
phase. At the same time, if the total lines of protection element and tripping element are more than
3, a scroll bar will appear at the right. The height of the black part of the scroll bar basically
indicates the total lines of protection element and tripping element, and its position suggests the
position of the currently displayed line in the total lines. The scroll bar of protection element and
tripping element will roll up at the speed of one line per time. When it rolls to the last three lines, itll
roll from the earliest protection element and tripping element again. The displayed content of the
lower half part is similar to that of the upper half part.

9.1 General Description

This section outlines the remote communications interfaces of NR equipment. The protective
device supports a choice of three protocols via the rear communication interface (RS-485 or
Ethernet), selected via the model number by setting. The protocol provided by the protective
device is indicated in the submenu in the Communication Settings column. Using the keypad
and LCD, set the parameter [Protocol_RS485A] and [Protocol_RS485B], the corresponding
protocol will be selected.
The rear EIA RS-485 interface is isolated and is suitable for permanent connection of whichever
protocol is selected. The advantage of this type of connection is that up to 32 protective devices
can be daisy chained together using a simple twisted pair electrical connection.
It should be noted that the descriptions contained within this section do not aim to fully detail the
protocol itself. The relevant documentation for the protocol should be referred to for this
information. This section serves to describe the specific implementation of the protocol in the relay.
9.2 Rear Communication Port Information

9.2.1 RS-485 Interface
This protective device provides two rear RS-485 communication ports, and each port has three
terminals in the 12-terminal screw connector located on the back of the relay and each port has a
ground terminal for the earth shield of the communication cable. Please refer to the section of
Communication Interface module for details of the connection terminals. The rear ports provide
RS-485 serial data communication and are intended for use with a permanently wired connection
to a remote control center.
9.2.1.1 EIA RS-485 Standardized Bus
The EIA RS-485 two-wire connection provides a half-duplex fully isolated serial connection to the
product. The connection is polarized and whilst the products connection diagrams indicate the
polarization of the connection terminals it should be borne in mind that there is no agreed
definition of which terminal is which. If the master is unable to communicate with the product, and
the communication parameters match, then it is possible that the two-wire connection is reversed.
9.2.1.2 Bus Termination
The EIA RS-485 bus must have 120 (Ohm) Watt terminating resistors fitted at either end
across the signal wires (refer to Figure 9.2-1). Some devices may be able to provide the bus
terminating resistors by different connection or configuration arrangements, in which case
separate external components will not be required. However, this product does not provide such a
facility, so if it is located at the bus terminus then an external termination resistor will be required.

9.2.1.3 Bus Connections & Topologies

The EIA RS-485 standard requires that each device is directly connected to the physical cable that
is the communications bus. Stubs and tees are expressly forbidden, such as star topologies. Loop
bus topologies are not part of the EIA RS-485 standard and are forbidden by it also.
Two-core screened cable is recommended. The specification of the cable will be dependent on the
application, although a multi-strand 0.5mm2 per core is normally adequate. Total cable length
must not exceed 500m. The screen must be continuous and connected to ground at one end,
normally at the master connection point; it is important to avoid circulating currents, especially
when the cable runs between buildings, for both safety and noise reasons.
This product does not provide a signal ground connection. If a signal ground connection is present
in the bus cable then it must be ignored, although it must have continuity for the benefit of other
devices connected to the bus. At no stage must the signal ground be connected to the cables
screen or to the products chassis. This is for both safety and noise reasons.
9.2.1.4 Biasing
It may also be necessary to bias the signal wires to prevent jabber. Jabber occurs when the signal
level has an indeterminate state because the bus is not being actively driven. This can occur when
all the slaves are in receive mode and the master is slow to turn from receive mode to transmit
mode. This may be because the master purposefully waits in receive mode, or even in a high
impedance state, until it has something to transmit. Jabber causes the receiving device(s) to miss
the first bits of the first character in the packet, which results in the slave rejecting the message
and consequentially not responding. Symptoms of these are poor response times (due to retries),
increasing message error counters, erratic communications, and even a complete failure to
communicate.
Biasing requires that the signal lines be weakly pulled to a defined voltage level of about 1V. There
should only be one bias point on the bus, which is best situated at the master connection point.
The DC source used for the bias must be clean; otherwise noise will be injected. Note that some
devices may (optionally) be able to provide the bus bias, in which case external components will
not be required.
9-2
Date: 2013-05-17
9 Communication
NOTE!
It is extremely important that the 120 termination resistors are fitted. Failure to do so
will result in an excessive bias voltage that may damage the devices connected to the
bus.
As the field voltage is much higher than that required, NR cannot assume
responsibility for any damage that may occur to a device connected to the network as
a result of incorrect application of this voltage.
Ensure that the field voltage is not being used for other purposes (i.e. powering logic
inputs) as this may cause noise to be passed to the communication network.
9.2.2 Ethernet Interface

This protective device can provide four rear Ethernet interfaces (optional) and they are unattached
each other. Parameters of each Ethernet port can be configured in the submenu Communication
Settings.
9.2.2.1 Ethernet Standardized Communication Cable
It is recommended to use twisted screened eight-core cable as the communication cable. A picture
is shown bellow.
Figure 9.2-2 Ethernet communication cable
9.2.2.2 Connections and Topologies

Each device is connected with an exchanger via communication cable, and thereby it forms a star
structure network. Dual-network is recommended in order to increase reliability. SCADA is also
connected to the exchanger and will play a role of master station, so the every equipment which
has been connected to the exchanger will play a role of slave unit.

9.2.3 IEC60870-5-103 Communication

The IEC specification IEC60870-5-103: Telecontrol Equipment and Systems, Part 5: Transmission
Protocols Section 103 defines the use of standards IEC60870-5-1 to IEC60870-5-5 to perform
communication with protective device. The standard configuration for the IEC60870-5-103
protocol is to use a twisted pair EIA RS-485 connection over distances up to 500m. It also supports
to use an Ethernet connection. The relay operates as a slave in the system, responding to
commands from a master station.
To use the rear port with IEC60870-5-103 communication, the relevant settings of the protective
device must be configured. To do this use the keypad and LCD user interface. In the submenu
Communication Settings, set the parameters [Protocol_RS485A], [Protocol_RS485B],
[Baud_RS485A] and [Baud_RS485B]. For using the Ethernet port with IEC60870-5-103
communication, the IP address and submask of each Ethernet port can be set in the same
submenu. Please refer to the corresponding section in Chapter Settings for further details.
9.3 IEC60870-5-103 Interface over Serial Port

The IEC60870-5-103 interface over serial port (RS-485) is a master/slave interface with the
protective device as the slave device. It is properly developed by NR.
The protective device conforms to compatibility level 2; compatibility level 3 is not supported.
The following IEC60870-5-103 facilities are supported by this interface:

9.3.1 Physical Connection and Link Layer

Two EIA RS-485 standardized ports are available for IEC60870-5-103 in this protective device.
The transmission speed is optional: 4800 bit/s, 9600 bit/s, 19200 bit/s or 38400 bit/s.
The link layer strictly abides by the rules defined in the IEC60870-5-103.
9.3.2 Initialization
Whenever the protective device has been powered up, or if the communication parameters have
been changed, a reset command is required to initialize the communications. The protective
device will respond to either of the two reset commands (Reset CU or Reset FCB), the difference
is that the Reset CU will clear any unsent messages in the transmit buffer.
The protective device will respond to the reset command with an identification message ASDU 5,
the COT (Cause Of Transmission) of this response will be either Reset CU or Reset FCB
depending on the nature of the reset command.
9.3.3 Time Synchronization

The protective device time and date can be set using the time synchronization feature of the
IEC60870-5-103 protocol. The protective device will correct for the transmission delay as specified
in IEC60870-5-103. If the time synchronization message is sent as a send/confirm message then
the protective device will respond with a confirmation. Whether the time-synchronization message
is sent as a send confirmation or a broadcast (send/no reply) message, a time synchronization
class 1 event will be generated/produced.
If the protective device clock is synchronized using the IRIG-B input then it will not be possible to
set the protective device time using the IEC60870-5-103 interface. An attempt to set the time via
the interface will cause the protective device to create an event with the current date and time
taken from the IRIG-B synchronized internal clock.
9.3.4 Spontaneous Events

Events are categorized using the following information:
Type identification (TYP)
Function type (FUN)
Information number (INF)
Messages sent to substation automation system are grouped according to IEC60870-5-103

protocol. Operation elements are sent by ASDU2 (time-tagged message with relative time), and
status of binary Input and alarm element are sent by ASDU1 (time-tagged message). The cause of
transmission (COT) of these responses is 1.

that will be returned during the GI cycle. The GI cycle strictly abides by the rules defined in the
IEC60870-5-103.

that all those involved with any IEC 61850 implementation obtain this document set.
9.5.2 Communication Profiles

The PCS-974 series relay supports IEC 61850 server services over TCP/IP communication
protocol stacks. The TCP/IP profile requires the PCS-974 series to have an IP address to establish
communications.
1.
MMS protocol
IEC 61850 specifies the use of the Manufacturing Message Specification (MMS) at the upper
(application) layer for transfer of real-time data. This protocol has been in existence for a number
of years and provides a set of services suitable for the transfer of data within a substation LAN
environment. IEC 61850-7-2 abstract services and objects are mapped to actual MMS protocol
services in IEC61850-8-1.
2.
Client/server
This is a connection-oriented type of communication. The connection and communication activity

is initiated and controlled by the client. Substation computers running HMI programs or SOE
logging software are considered as IEC61850 clients. Substation equipment such as protection
relays, meters, RTUs, transformer, tap changers, or bay control units are considered as servers.
Please note that RTUs can also be considered as clients.
3.
Peer-to-peer
This is a non-connection-oriented, high speed type of communication usually between substation

equipment, such as protection relays. GOOSE is the method of peer-to-peer communication.
4.
Substation configuration language (SCL)
A substation configuration language is a number of files used to describe the configuration of

substation equipment. Each configured device has an IEC Capability Description (ICD) file and a
9-8
Date: 2013-05-17
9 Communication
Configured IED Description (CID) file. The substation single line information is stored in a System
Specification Description (SSD) file. The entire substation configuration is stored in a Substation
Configuration Description (SCD) file. The SCD file is the combination of the individual ICD files
and the SSD file.
9.5.3 Server Data Organization

IEC61850 defines an object-oriented approach to data and services. An IEC61850 physical device
can contain one or more logical device(s) (for proxy). Each logical device can contain many logical
nodes. Each logical node can contain many data objects. Each data object is composed of data
attributes and data attribute components. Services are available at each level for performing
various functions, such as reading, writing, control commands, and reporting.
Each IED represents one IEC61850 physical device. The logical node LPHD contains information
about the IED physical device. The logical node LLN0 contains common information about the IED
logical device.
9.5.3.1 Digital Status Values
The GGIO logical node is available in the PCS-974 series relays to provide access to digital status
points (including general I/O inputs and warnings) and associated timestamps and quality flags.
The data content must be configured before the data can be used. GGIO provides digital status
points for access by clients. It is intended that clients use GGIO in order to access digital status
values from the PCS-974 series relays. Clients can utilize the IEC61850 buffered reporting
features available from GGIO in order to build sequence of events (SOE) logs and HMI display
screens. Buffered reporting should generally be used for SOE logs since the buffering capability
reduces the chances of missing data state changes. All needed status data objects are transmitted
to HMI clients via buffered reporting, and the corresponding buffered reporting control block
(BRCB) is defined in LLN0.
9.5.3.2 Analog Values
Most of analog measured values are available through the MMXU logical nodes, and metering
values in MMTR, the else in MMXN, MSQI and so on. Each MMXU logical node provides data
from an IED current/voltage source. There is one MMXU available for each configurable source.
MMXU1 provides data from CT/VT source 1(usually for protection purpose), and MMXU2 provides
data from CT/VT source 2 (usually for monitor and display purpose). All these analog data objects
are transmitted to HMI clients via unbuffered reporting periodically, and the corresponding
unbuffered reporting control block (URCB) is defined in LLN0. MMXUx logical nodes provide the
following data for each source:
MMXU.MX.Hz: frequency
MMXU. MX.PPV.phsAB: phase AB voltage magnitude and angle
MMXU.MX.PPV.phsBC: phase BC voltage magnitude and angle
MMXU.MX.PPV.phsCA: Phase CA voltage magnitude and angle
MMXU.MX.PhV.phsA: phase AG voltage magnitude and angle

MMXU.MX.A.phsA: phase A current magnitude and angle
MMXU.MX.A.phsB: phase B current magnitude and angle
MMXU.MX.A.phsC: phase C current magnitude and angle
9.5.3.3 Protection Logical Nodes

The following list describes the protection elements for all PCS-974 series relays. The specified
relay will contain a subset of protection elements from this list.
SPRT: mechanical protection
PTOC: phase overcurrent, zero sequence overcurrent and overcurrent in case of CTS
RBRF: breaker failure protection
The protection elements listed above contain start (pickup) and operate flags, instead of any
element has its own start (pickup) flag separately, all the elements share a common start (pickup)
flags PTRC.ST.Str.general. The operate flag for PTOC1 is PTOC1.ST.Op.general. For the
PCS-974 series relay protection elements, these flags take their values from related module for
the corresponding element. Similar to digital status values, the protection trip information is
reported via BRCB, and it also locates in LLN0.
9.5.3.4 LLN0 and Other Logical Nodes
Logical node LLN0 is essential for an IEC61850 based IED. This LN shall be used to address
common issues for Logical Devices. Most of the public services, the common settings, control
values and some device oriented data objects are available here. The public services may be
BRCB, URCB and GSE control blocks and similar global defines for the whole device; the
common settings include all the setting items of communication settings. System settings and
some of the protection setting items, which can be configured to two or more protection elements
(logical nodes). In LLN0, the item Loc is a device control object, this Do item indicates the local
operation for complete logical device, when it is true, all the remote control commands to the IED
will be blocked and those commands make effective until the item Loc is changed to false. In
PCS-974 series relays, besides the logical nodes we describe above, there are some other logical
nodes below in the IEDs:
MMXU: This LN shall be used to acquire values from CTs and VTs and calculate measurands
such as r.m.s. values for current and voltage or power flows out of the acquired voltage and
current samples. These values are normally used for operational purposes such as power flow
supervision and management, screen displays, state estimation, etc. The requested accuracy for
these functions has to be provided.
LPHD: Physical device information, the logical node to model common issues for physical
device.
MSQI: Positive sequence current and negative sequence current.

PTRC: Protection trip conditioning, it shall be used to connect the operate outputs of one or
more protection functions to a common trip to be transmitted to XCBR. In addition or alternatively,
any combination of operate outputs of protection functions may be combined to a new operate
of PTRC.
RDRE: Disturbance recorder function. It triggers the fault wave recorder and its output refers
to the IEEE Standard Format for Transient Data Exchange (COMTRADE) for Power System (IEC
60255-24). All enabled channels are included in the recording, independently of the trigger mode.
9.5.4 Server Features and Configuration

9.5.4.1 Buffered/unbuffered Reporting
IEC61850 buffered and unbuffered reporting control blocks locate in LLN0, they can be configured
to transmit information of protection trip information (in the Protection logical nodes), binary status
values (in GGIO) and analog measured/calculated values (in MMXU, MMTR and MSQI). The
reporting control blocks can be configured in CID files, and then be sent to the IED via an
IEC61850 client. The following items can be configured.
TrgOps: Trigger options. The following bits are supported by the PCS-974 series
relays:
Bit 1: Data-change
Bit 4: Integrity
Bit 5: General interrogation
OptFlds: Option Fields. The following bits are supported by the PCS-974 series relays:
Bit 1: Sequence-number
Bit 2: Report-time-stamp
Bit 3: Reason-for-inclusion
Bit 4: Data-set-name
Bit 5: Data-reference
Bit 6: Buffer-overflow (for buffered reports only)
Bit 7: EntryID (for buffered reports only)
Bit 8: Conf-revision
Bit 9: Segmentation
IntgPd: Integrity period.
BufTm: Buffer time.
9.5.4.2 File Transfer

MMS file services are supported to allow transfer of oscillography, event record or other files from

a PCS-974 series relay.

9.5.4.3 Timestamps
The Universal Time Coordinated (UTC for short) timestamp associated with all IEC61850 data
items represents the latest change time of either the value or quality flags of the data item
9.5.4.4 Logical Node Name Prefixes
IEC61850 specifies that each logical node can have a name with a total length of 11 characters.
The name is composed of:
A five or six-character name prefix.
A four-character standard name (for example, MMXU, GGIO, PIOC, etc.).
A one or two-character instantiation index.
Complete names are of the form xxxxxxPTOC1, where the xxxxxx character string is configurable.
Details regarding the logical node naming rules are given in IEC61850 parts 6 and 7-2. It is
recommended that a consistent naming convention be used for an entire substation project.
9.5.4.5 GOOSE Services
IEC61850 specifies the type of broadcast data transfer services: Generic Object Oriented
Substation Events (GOOSE). IEC61850 GOOSE services provide virtual LAN (VLAN) support,
Ethernet priority tagging, and Ether-type Application ID configuration. The support for VLANs and
priority tagging allows for the optimization of Ethernet network traffic. GOOSE messages can be
given a higher priority than standard Ethernet traffic, and they can be separated onto specific
VLANs. Devices that transmit GOOSE messages also function as servers. Each GOOSE
publisher contains a GOOSE control block to configure and control the transmission.
The GOOSE transmission (including subscribing and publishing) is controlled by GOOSE link
settings in device.
The PCS-974 series relays support IEC61850 Generic Object Oriented Substation Event (GOOSE)
communication. All GOOSE messages contain IEC61850 data collected into a dataset. It is this
dataset that is transferred using GOOSE message services. The GOOSE related dataset is
configured in the CID file and it is recommended that the fixed GOOSE be used for
implementations that require GOOSE data transfer between PCS-974 series relays.
IEC61850 GOOSE messaging contains a number of configurable parameters, all of which must be
correct to achieve the successful transfer of data. It is critical that the configured datasets at the
transmission and reception devices are an exact match in terms of data structure, and that the
GOOSE addresses and name strings match exactly.

10.1 General
The equipment must be shipped, stored and installed with the greatest care.
Choose the place of installation such that the communication interface and the controls on the
front of the device are easily accessible.
Air must circulate freely around the equipment. Observe all the requirements regarding place of
installation and ambient conditions given in this instruction manual.
Take care that the external wiring is properly brought into the equipment and terminated correctly
and pay special attention to grounding. Strictly observe the corresponding guidelines contained in
this section.
10.2 Safety Instructions

Modules and units may only be replaced by correspondingly trained personnel. Always observe
the basic precautions to avoid damage due to electrostatic discharge when handling the
equipment.
In certain cases, the settings have to be configured according to the demands of the engineering
configuration after replacement. It is therefore assumed that the personnel who replace modules
and units are familiar with the use of the operator program on the service PC.
DANGER! Only insert or withdraw the PWR module while the power supply is switched
off. To this end, disconnect the power supply cable that connects with the PWR module.
WARNING! Only insert or withdraw other modules while the power supply is switched off.
WARNING! The modules may only be inserted in the slots designated in Section 6.2.
Components can be damaged or destroyed by inserting boards in the wrong slots.
DANGER! Improper handling of the equipment can cause damage or an incorrect
response of the equipment itself or the primary plant.
WARNING! Industry packs and ribbon cables may only be replaced or the positions of
jumpers be changed on a workbench appropriately designed for working on electronic
equipment. The modules, bus backplanes are sensitive to electrostatic discharge when
not in the unit's housing.
The basic precautions to guard against electrostatic discharge are as follows:
Boards have to be removed from this relay installed in a grounded cubicle in an HV

10 Installation
switchgear installation, please discharge yourself by touching station ground (the cubicle)
beforehand.
Only hold electronic boards at the edges, taking care not to touch the components.
Only works on boards that have been removed from the cubicle on a workbench designed for
electronic equipment and wear a grounded wristband. Do not wear a grounded wristband,
however, while inserting or withdrawing units.
Always store and ship the electronic boards in their original packing. Place electronic parts in
electrostatic screened packing materials.
10.3 Checking the Shipment

Check that the consignment is complete immediately upon receipt. Notify the nearest NR
Company or agent, should departures from the delivery note, the shipping papers or the order be
found.
Visually inspect all the material when unpacking it. When there is evidence of transport damage,
lodge a claim immediately in writing with the last carrier and notify the nearest NR Company or
agent.
If the equipment is not going to be installed immediately, store all the parts in their original packing
in a clean dry place at a moderate temperature. The humidity at a maximum temperature and the
permissible storage temperature range in dry air are listed in Section 2.1.3.
10.4 Material and Tools Required

The necessary mounting kits will be provided, including screws, pincers and assembly
instructions.
A suitable drill and spanners are required to secure the cubicles to the floor using the plugs
provided (if this relay is mounted in cubicles).
10.5 Device Location and Ambient Conditions

The place of installation should permit easy access especially to front of the device, i.e. to the
human machine interface of the equipment.
There should also be free access at the rear of the equipment for additions and replacement of
electronic boards.
Since every piece of technical equipment can be damaged or destroyed by inadmissible ambient
conditions, such as:
1.
The location should not be exposed to excessive air pollution (dust, aggressive substances).
2.
Severe vibration, extreme changes of temperature, high levels of humidity, surge voltages of
10-2
Date: 2013-05-17
10 Installation
high amplitude and short rise time and strong induced magnetic fields should be avoided as
far as possible.
3.
Air must not be allowed to circulate freely around the equipment.
The equipment can in principle be mounted in any attitude, but it is normally mounted vertically
(visibility of markings).
WARNING! Excessively high temperature can appreciably reduce the operating life of
this relay.

In the case of equipment supplied in cubicles, place the cubicles on the foundations that have
been prepared. Take care while doing so not to jam or otherwise damage any of the cables that
have already been installed. Secure the cubicles to the foundations.
10.7 Electrical Installation and Wiring

10.7.1 Grounding Guidelines
Switching operations in HV installations generate transient over voltages on control signal cables.
There is also a background of electromagnetic RF fields in electrical installations that can induce
spurious currents in the devices themselves or the leads connected to them.
All these influences can influence the operation of electronic apparatus.
On the other hand, electronic apparatus can transmit interference that can disrupt the operation of
other apparatus.
In order to minimize these influences as far as possible, certain standards have to be observed
with respect to grounding, wiring and screening.
NOTE! All these precautions can only be effective if the station ground is of good quality.

10 Installation
10.7.2 Cubicle Grounding

The cubicle must be designed and fitted out such that the impedance for RF interference of the
ground path from the electronic device to the cubicle ground terminal is as low as possible.
Metal accessories such as side plates, blanking plates etc., must be effectively connected
surface-to-surface to the grounded frame to ensure a low-impedance path to ground for RF
interference. The contact surfaces must not only conduct well, they must also be non-corroding.
NOTE! If the above conditions are not fulfilled, there is a possibility of the cubicle or parts
of it forming a resonant circuit at certain frequencies that would amplify the transmission
of interference by the devices installed and also reduce their immunity to induced
interference.
Movable parts of the cubicle such as doors (front and back) or hinged equipment frames must be
effectively grounded to the frame by three braided copper strips (see Figure 10.7-1).
The metal parts of the cubicle housing and the ground rail are interconnected electrically
conducting and corrosion proof. The contact surfaces shall be as large as possible.
NOTE! For metallic connections please observe the voltage difference of both materials
according to the electrochemical code.
The cubicle ground rail must be effectively connected to the station ground rail by a grounding strip
(braided copper).

10.7.3 Ground Connection on the Device

There is a ground terminal on the rear panel, and the ground braided copper strip can be
connected with it. Take care that the grounding strip is always as short as possible. The main thing
10-5

10 Installation
is that the device is only grounded at one point. Grounding loops from unit to unit are not allowed.
There are some ground terminals on some connectors of this relay, and the sign is GND. All the
ground terminals are connected in the cabinet of this relay. So, the ground terminal on the rear
panel (see Figure 10.7-2) is the only ground terminal of this device.
Figure 10.7-2 Ground terminal of this relay
10.7.4 Grounding Strips and their Installation

High frequency currents are produced by interference in the ground connections and because of
skin effect at these frequencies, only the surface region of the grounding strips is of consequence.
The grounding strips must therefore be of (preferably tinned) braided copper and not round copper
conductors, as the cross-section of round copper would have to be too large.
Proper terminations must be fitted to both ends (press/pinch fit and tinned) with a hole for bolting
them firmly to the items to be connected.
The surfaces to which the grounding strips are bolted must be electrically conducting and
non-corroding.
The following figure shows the ground strip and termination.

11 Commissioning
11.1 General
This relay is fully numerical in their design, implementing all protection and non-protection
functions in software. The relay employs a high degree of self-checking and in the unlikely event of
a failure, will give an alarm. As a result of this, the commissioning test does not need to be as
extensive as with non-numeric electronic or electro-mechanical relays.
To commission numerical relays, it is only necessary to verify that the hardware is functioning
correctly and the application-specific software settings have been applied to the relay.
Blank commissioning test and setting records are provided at the end of this manual for
completion as required.
Before carrying out any work on the equipment, the user should be familiar with the contents of the
safety and technical data sections and the ratings on the equipments rating label.
11.2 Safety Instructions

WARNING! Hazardous voltages are present in this electrical equipment during operation.
Non-observance of the safety rules can result in severe personal injury or property
damage.
WARNING! Only the qualified personnel shall work on and around this equipment after
becoming thoroughly familiar with all warnings and safety notices of this manual as well
as with the applicable safety regulations.
Particular attention must be drawn to the following:
The earthing screw of the device must be connected solidly to the protective earth conductor
before any other electrical connection is made.
Hazardous voltages can be present on all circuits and components connected to the supply
voltage or to the measuring and test quantities.
Hazardous voltages can be present in the device even after disconnection of the supply
voltage (storage capacitors!)
The limit values stated in the Chapter Technical Data must not be exceeded at all, not even
during testing and commissioning.
When testing the device with secondary test equipment, make sure that no other
measurement quantities are connected. Take also into consideration that the trip circuits and
maybe also close commands to the circuit breakers and other primary switches are
disconnected from the device unless expressly stated.

11 Commissioning
DANGER! Current transformer secondary circuits must have been short-circuited before
the current leads to the device are disconnected.
WARNING! Primary test may only be carried out by qualified personnel, who are familiar
with the commissioning of protection system, the operation of the plant and safety rules
and regulations (switching, earthing, etc.).
11.3 Commission Tools

Minimum equipment required:
Multifunctional dynamic current and voltage injection test set with interval timer.
Multimeter with suitable AC current range and AC/DC voltage ranges of 0~440V and 0~250V
respectively.
Continuity tester (if not included in the multimeter).
Phase angle meter.
Phase rotation meter.

NOTE! Modern test set may contain many of the above features in one unit.
Optional equipment:
An electronic or brushless insulation tester with a DC output not exceeding 500V (for
insulation resistance test when required).
A portable PC, with appropriate software (this enables the rear communications port to be
tested, if this is to be used, and will also save considerable time during commissioning).

PCS-974 serials dedicated protection tester HELP-9000.
11.4 Setting Familiarization

When commissioning this device for the first time, sufficient time should be allowed to become
familiar with the method by which the settings are applied. A detailed description of the menu
structure of this relay is contained in Chapter Operation Theory and Chapter Settings.
With the front cover in place all keys are accessible. All menu cells can be read. The LED
indicators and alarms can be reset. Protection or configuration settings can be changed, or fault
and event records cleared. However, menu cells will require the appropriate password to be
entered before changes can be made.
11-2
Date: 2013-05-17
11 Commissioning
Alternatively, if a portable PC is available together with suitable setting software (such as

PCS-9700 SAS software), the menu can be viewed one page at a time to display a full column of
data and text. This PC software also allows settings to be entered more easily, saved to a file on
disk for future reference or printed to produce a setting record. Refer to the PC software user
manual for details. If the software is being used for the first time, allow sufficient time to become
familiar with its operation.
11.5 Product Checks

These product checks cover all aspects of the relay which should be checked to ensure that it has
not been physically damaged prior to commissioning, is functioning correctly and all input quantity
measurements are within the stated tolerances.
If the application-specific settings have been applied to the relay prior to commissioning, it is
advisable to make a copy of the settings so as to allow them restoration later. This could be done
by extracting the settings from the relay itself via printer or manually creating a setting record.
11.5.1 With the Relay De-energized

This relay is fully numerical and the hardware is continuously monitored. Commissioning tests can
be kept to a minimum and need only include hardware tests and conjunctive tests. The function
tests are carried out according to users correlative regulations.
The following tests are necessary to ensure the normal operation of the equipment before it is first
put into service.

Phase sequence check and polarity check.
11.5.1.1 Visual Inspection

After unpacking the product, check for any damage to the relay case. If there is any damage, the
internal module might also have been affected, contact the vendor. The following items listed are
necessary.
Protection panel
Carefully examine the protection panel, protection equipment inside and other parts inside to
see that no physical damage has occurred since installation.
The rated information of other auxiliary protections should be checked to ensure it is correct
for the particular installation.
Panel wiring
Check the conducting wire which is used in the panel to assure that their cross section
meeting the requirement.
Carefully examine the wiring to see that they are no connection failure exists.
Label
Check all the isolator binary inputs, terminal blocks, indicators, switches and push buttons to
make sure that their labels meet the requirements of this project.
Equipment plug-in modules

Check each plug-in module of the equipment on the panel to make sure that they are well
installed into the equipment without any screw loosened.
Earthing cable
Check whether the earthing cable from the panel terminal block is safely screwed to the panel
steel sheet.
Switch, keypad, isolator binary inputs and push button

Check whether all the switches, equipment keypad, isolator binary inputs and push buttons
work normally and smoothly.
11.5.1.2 Insulation Test (if required)

Insulation resistance tests are only necessary during commissioning if it is required for them to be
done and they have not been performed during installation.
Isolate all wiring from the earth and test the isolation with an electronic or brushless insulation
tester at a DC voltage not exceeding 500V, The circuits need to be tested should include:
11-4
Date: 2013-05-17
11 Commissioning
Current transformer circuits
DC power supply
Optic-isolated control inputs
Output contacts
Communication ports
The insulation resistance should be greater than 100M at 500V.

Test method:
To unplug all the terminals sockets of this relay, and do the Insulation resistance test for each
circuit above with an electronic or brushless insulation tester.
On completion of the insulation resistance tests, ensure all external wiring is correctly reconnected
to the protection.
11.5.1.3 External Wiring
Check that the external wiring is correct to the relevant relay diagram and scheme diagram.
Ensure as far as practical that phasing/phase rotation appears to be as expected.
Check the wiring against the schematic diagram for the installation to ensure compliance with the
customers normal practice.
11.5.1.4 Auxiliary Power Supply
The relay only can be operated under the auxiliary power supply depending on the relays nominal
power supply rating.
The incoming voltage must be within the operating range specified in Section 2.1.1, before
energizing the relay, measure the auxiliary supply to ensure it within the operating range.
Other requirements to the auxiliary power supply are specified in Section 2.1.1. See this section
for further details about the parameters of the power supply.
WARNING! Energize this relay only if the power supply is within the specified operating
ranges in Section 2.1.2.
11.5.2 With the Relay Energized

The following groups of checks verify that the relay hardware and software is functioning correctly
and should be carried out with the auxiliary supply applied to the relay.
The current and voltage transformer connections must remain isolated from the relay for these
checks. The trip circuit should also remain isolated to prevent accidental operation of the
associated circuit breaker.
11.5.2.1 Front Panel LCD Display
Connect the relay to DC power supply correctly and turn the relay on. Check program version and

forming time displayed in command menu to ensure that are corresponding to what ordered.
11.5.2.2 Date and Time
If the time and date is not being maintained by substation automation system, the date and time
should be set manually.
Set the date and time to the correct local time and date using menu item CLOCK.
In the event of the auxiliary supply failing, with a battery fitted on MON board, the time and date
will be maintained. Therefore when the auxiliary supply is restored the time and date will be correct
and not need to set again.
To test this, remove the auxiliary supply from the relay for approximately 30s. After being
re-energized, the time and date should be correct.
11.5.2.3 Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs)
On power up, the green LED HEALTHY should have illuminated and stayed on indicating that
the relay is healthy.
The relay has latched signal relays which remember the state of the trip, auto-reclose when the
relay was last energized from an auxiliary supply. Therefore these indicators may also illuminate
when the auxiliary supply is applied. If any of these LEDs are on then they should be reset before
proceeding with further testing. If the LED successfully reset, the LED goes out. There is no testing
required for that that LED because it is known to be operational.
It is likely that alarms related to voltage transformer supervision will not reset at this stage.
11.5.2.4 Testing the HEALTHY and ALARM LEDs
Apply the rated DC power supply and check that the HEALTHY LED is lighting in green. We
need to emphasize that the HEALTHY LED is always lighting in operation course except that the
equipment find serious errors in it.
Produce one of the abnormal conditions listed in Chapter Supervision, the ALARM LED will
light in yellow. When abnormal condition reset, the ALARM LED extinguishes.
11.5.2.5 Testing the TRIP LED
The TRIP LED can be tested by initiating a manual circuit breaker trip from the relay. However
the TRIP LED will operate during the setting checks. Therefore no further testing of the TRIP
LED is required at this stage.
11.5.2.6 Testing the AC Current Inputs
This test verified that the accuracy of current measurement is within the acceptable tolerances.
Apply rated current to each current transformer input in turn; checking its magnitude by using a
multimeter/test set readout. The corresponding reading can then be checked in the relays menu.
The measurement accuracy of the protection is 2.5% or 0.02In. However, an additional allowance
must be made for the accuracy of the test equipment being used.

11.5.3 Print Fault Report

In order to acquire the details of protection operation, it is convenient to print the fault report of
protection device. The printing work can be easily finished when operator presses the print button
on panel of protection device to energize binary input [BI_Print] or operate control menu. What
should be noticed is that only the latest fault report can be printed if operator presses the print
button. A complete fault report includes the content shown as follows.
1) Trip event report
2) Binary input when protection devices start

3) Self-check and the transition of binary input in the process of devices start
4) Fault wave forms compatible with COMTRADE
5) The setting value when the protection device trips
11.5.4 On-load Checks

The objectives of the on-load checks are:
Confirm the external wiring to the current and voltage inputs is correct.
Measure the magnitude of on-load current and voltage (if applicable).
Check the polarity of each current transformer.
However, these checks can only be carried out if there are no restrictions preventing the
tenderization of the plant being protected.
Remove all test leads, temporary shorting leads, etc. and replace any external wiring that has
been removed to allow testing.
If it has been necessary to disconnect any of the external wiring from the protection in order to
perform any of the foregoing tests, it should be ensured that all connections are replaced in
accordance with the relevant external connection or scheme diagram. Confirm current and voltage
transformer wiring.
11.5.4.1 Final Checks
After the above tests are completed, remove all test or temporary shorting leads, etc. If it has been
necessary to disconnect any of the external wiring from the protection in order to perform the
wiring verification tests, it should be ensured that all connections are replaced in accordance with
the relevant external connection or scheme diagram.
Ensure that the protection has been restored to service.
If the protection is in a new installation or the circuit breaker has just been maintained, the circuit
breaker maintenance and current counters should be zero. If a test block is installed, remove the
test plug and replace the cover so that the protection is put into service.
Ensure that all event records, fault records, disturbance records and alarms have been cleared
and LEDs has been reset before leaving the protection.

12 Maintenance
NR numerical relay PCS-974 is designed to require no special maintenance. All measurement and
signal processing circuit are fully solid state. All input modules are also fully solid state. The output
relays are hermetically sealed.
Since the device is almost completely self-monitored, from the measuring inputs to the output
relays, hardware and software defects are automatically detected and reported. The
self-monitoring ensures the high availability of the device and generally allows for a corrective
rather than preventive maintenance strategy. Therefore, maintenance checks in short intervals are
not required.
Operation of the device is automatically blocked when a hardware failure is detected. If a problem
is detected in the external measuring circuits, the device normally only provides alarm messages.
12.1 Appearance Check

The relay case should be clean without any dust stratification. Case cover should be sealed well.
No component has any mechanical damage and distortion, and they should be firmly fixed in the
case. Relay terminals should be in good condition. The keys on the front panel with very good
feeling can be operated flexibly.
It is only allowed to plug or withdraw relay board when the supply is reliably switched off. Never
allow the CT secondary circuit connected to this equipment to be opened while the primary system
is live when withdrawing an AC module. Never try to insert or withdraw the relay board when it is
unnecessary.
Check weld spots on PCB whether they are well soldered without any rosin joint. All dual inline
components must be well plugged.
12.2 Failure Tracing and Repair

Failures will be detected by automatic supervision or regular testing.
When a failure is detected by supervision, a remote alarm is issued and the failure is indicated on
the front panel with LED indicators and LCD display. It is also recorded in the event record.
Failures detected by supervision are traced by checking the Superv Events screen on the LCD.
When a failure is detected during regular testing, confirm the following:
Test circuit connections are correct
Modules are securely inserted in position
Correct power supply voltage is applied
Correct analog inputs are applied
Test procedures comply with those stated in the manual
12.3 Replace Failed Modules

If the failure is identified to be in the relay module and the user has spare modules, the user can

12 Maintenance
recover the protection by replacing the failed modules.

Repair at the site should be limited to module replacement. Maintenance at the component level is
not recommended.
Check that the replacement module has an identical module name (AI, PWR, MON, DSP, BI, BO,
etc.) and hardware type-form as the removed module. Furthermore, the MON or DSP module
replaced should have the same software version. In addition, the AI module, PWR module, BI
module, IO module and IO module replaced should have the same ratings.
The module name is indicated on the top front of the module. The software version is indicated in
LCD menu Version Info.
CAUTION: When handling a module, take anti-static measures such as wearing an
earthed wrist band and placing modules on an earthed conductive mat. Otherwise, many
of the electronic components could suffer damage. After replacing the MON or DSP
module, check the settings.
1)
Replacing a module
Switch off the power supply
Disconnect the trip outputs

12 Maintenance
After replacing the MON or DSP module, input the application-specific setting values again.
WARNING: Units and modules may only be replaced while the supply is switched off
and only by appropriately trained and qualified personnel. Strictly observe the basic
precautions to guard against electrostatic discharge.
WARNING: When handling a module, take anti-static measures such as wearing an
earthed wrist band and placing modules on an earthed conductive mat. Otherwise,
many of the electronic components could suffer damage. After replacing the MON or
DSP module, check the settings.
DANGER: After replacing modules, be sure to check that the same configuration is set
as before the replacement. If this is not the case, there is a danger of the unintended
operation of switchgear taking place or of protections not functioning correctly. Persons
may also be put in danger.
12.4 Cleaning
Before cleaning the relay, ensure that all AC/DC supplies, current transformer connections are
isolated to prevent any chance of an electric shock whilst cleaning. Use a smooth cloth to clean
the front panel. Do not use abrasive material or detergent chemicals.
12.5 Storage
The spare relay or module should be stored in a dry and clean room. Based on IEC standard
60255-1 the storage temperature should be from -40C to 70C, but the temperature of from 0C
to 40C is recommended for long-term storage.
