IRI1- WD - Overcurrent, Short-circuit and Earth Fault Relay

1. Introduction The application of powerful microcontroller opens a

new chapter for power protection systems. Because of their capabilities to process the measuring values digitally and to perform arithmetical and logical operations, the digital protective relays are superior to the traditional analogue devices. In addition, the digital protective relays offer some additional advantages such as very low power consumption, adaptability, possibilities for self supervision, flexible construction, selection of relay characteristics etc. The development of microcontroller-based protective relays and their introduction into the market are stimulated by the trend nowadays to replace analogue with digital protective equipment. The superiority of digital protective relays to the traditional systems is enhanced by the MR relay family which has the following characteristics: Integration of multiple protective functions into one compact housing High measuring accuracy due to digital processing of measuring values Digital relay setting with very wide setting ranges and the fine setting steps Operation reliability due to continuous selfsupervision The digital time relay IRI-WD was designed as a universal over-current relay for application to medium voltage networks.

Selectable protective functions between: definite time over-current relay and inverse time overcurrent relay. Selectable inverse time characteristics according to BS 142 and IEC 255-4: Normal inverse Very inverse Extremely inverse Field selectable 1A/5A CT Independent stage for the fast tripping of short-circuit (protection) Two stage over-current time protection for phase current Two stage over-current time protection earth fault current Extremely wide setting ranges and fine steps for current and time settings Continuous self-supervision of software and hardware Wide operating ranges of the supply voltage (AC/DC)

Design

Analog Input The analog input signal of the conductor currents as per the terminal detail section 7.3, are fed to the protective device via separate input transformers. The continuously measured current values are galvanically isolated, analog filtered and finally fed to the analog/digital converter. 4.2 Front Panel The front panel of the protective device IRI-WD comprises the following operation and indication elements: 1 LCD- Liquid crystal display ( 8 x 2) 4 keypads- for the setting of the tripping values and time. 3 LEDs for the fault indication. 1 RESET button

Application

The digital over-current time relay IRI-WD is a universal protection device for low and medium voltage networks. It is used in radial networks and combines the following functions in one unit: Independent (Definite) time over-current relay Inverse definite minimum time over-current relay with following selectable characteristics: Normal inverse Very Inverse Extremely inverse Integrated independent and dependent over current time protection for the earth fault Furthermore, the device, providing the above functions, can be employed as back-up protection for differential and distance protection relays

4.2.1 LCD
The over-current, short-circuit and earth fault relay IRI-WD is equipped with a back-lit LCD display having two lines of eight alpha-numeric characters to display current, faults, setting parameters names and values etc.

4.2.2 Keypads
The front panel keypad consists of five soft-touch keys. These keys are marked as RESET, +, - and . The RESET key provides reset functions to the relay. The keys marked and are meant for backward and forward scrolling respectively. The keys marked + and - are used for decrementing and incrementing selected parameter value.

4.2.3 LEDs
On the front panel there are 3 LEDs. Their functions are indicated by the appropriate inscriptions along with them. At the time of pickup the Alarm LED starts blinking.

IRI1- WD - Overcurrent, Short-circuit and Earth Fault Relay

On fault trip LED gives the indication. Similarly when there is a pickup in any of the phase, one cant change the setting of the relay. At that time all functions will be blocked & this is indicated by BLOCK LED.

The lower consumption of the IRI--WD i.e. 0.2 VA, has a positive effect on the rating of the current transformers. It implies that, if an electromechanical relay is replaced by IRI-WD, a high accuracy limit factor is automatically obtained by using the same current transformer.

Working Principle 6. Operation and Settings

6.1 Layout of operating elements All keys and RESET button required for the setting of parameters are located on the front panel.

5.1 Analog circuits The incoming currents from the main current transformers on the protected objects are converted to voltage signals in proportion to the currents via the input transducers and shunt resistors. The noise signals caused by inductive and capacitive coupling are suppressed by an analog R-C filter circuit. The analog voltage signals are fed to the A/D-converter of the microprocessor and transformed to digital signals through Sample and Hold circuits. All the processing is carried out on these digitized values. The measuring values are detected with a sampling frequency of 1600 Hz, a sampling rate of 625 s for each measurement (at 50 Hz). 5.2 Digital circuits The protective device is equipped with an efficient microprocessor which is the main processing unit. It digitally carries out all of the operations, from the digitization of the measuring values to the protective tripping. The relay program is located in an EPROM (Read-OnlyMemory). With this program the microprocessor processes the voltages at the analog inputs and calculates the fundamental components of the current. For the calculation of the current value an efficient digital filter based on the Fourier Transformation (DEFT-Discrete Fast Fourier Transformation) is applied to suppress high frequency harmonics and d.c. components during a short circuit. The measured current values are continuously compared with the set values and when activated, the over-current tripping time is determined according to the selected characteristic curve. When the calculated time delay has elapsed, a tripping command is given. 5.3 Power Supply It has a universal auxiliary supply. The voltage range is (16 to 270) VAC & (16 to 360) VDC 5.4 Demands imposed on the main current transformers The current transformers have to be rated in such a way, that a saturation should not occur within the following operating current ranges: Independent time over-current function K1 = 2 Inverse time over-current function K1 = 20 High-set function K1 = 1.2 - 1.5 K1 = Current factor related to set value with the current transformer not yet operating in the saturation range. Moreover, the current transformers have to be rated according to the maximum expected short circuit currents of the network or the object to be protected.

6.2

Calculation of the Setting values 1A / 5A choice is site selectable. Separate terminals are provided for 1A and 5A CTs. User must make correct choice from front panel. 6.2.1 Phase-over-current stage (I >) The main criterion for the setting of the over-current response value is the normal maximum operating current which is therefore adjusted to about 20% for power line, about 50 % for transformers and motors, above the maximum expected load currents. The delay of the trip signal is selected according to the selectivity and time grading, and the system overload capacity of the protected object. 6.2.2 Dependent over-current time protection Apart from the selection of the tripping characteristics, the response value for the phase-current is also adjustable. 6.2.3 Phase-over-current stage (I >) The starting current is determined according to the maximum expected load current. For example: Current transformer ratio: 400/5 A Maximum expected load current: 300 A Overload coefficient: 1.2 (assumed) Starting current setting: IS = (300 / 400) x 1.2 = 0.9 x IN 6.2.4 Time multiplier setting The time multiplier setting for inverse time over-current is a scale factor for the selected characteristics. The characteristics for two adjacent relays should have a time interval of about 0.3 - 0.4 s. 6.2.5 Fast tripping short circuit protection (I >>) The high-set current setting is set as a multiplier of the nominal current. The time delay is always independent to the fault current. Short Circuit Protection: The Current setting range is from 0.5 x In to 25 x In. It is possible to have selectable time delayed/Instantaneous protection. High set E/F protection: The Earth fault current setting range is from 0.5 to 15 x In. 6.2.6 Fault Recording IRI records last three faults. It saves following information Type of fault : SC / OL Faulty phase / Earth : R / Y / B / E Value at Fault : Ir, Iy, Ib, Ie in Amps Fault1 is the latest fault & Fault 3 is the oldest fault. (True RMS record available when trip time > 40msec.)
