REQUIREMENTS PRIOR TO COMMISSIONING

BEFORE COMMISSIONING THE RELAY, THE SAFETY SECTION OF THE MANUAL MUST BE READ. When commissioning the MiCOM relay for the first time, 1/4 hour should be allowed to become familiar with the menu (MENU OF THE HMI section). With a laptop computer and ALSTOM setting software, the user can configure the MiCOM P220 relay and save this setting on to a floppy disk. This file can subsequently be downloaded via the RS232 front port or via the RS 485 link on the rear of the MiCOM relays.

2.1 2.1.1

EQUIPMENT REQUIRED FOR TESTING

Important notes Warning concerning the test methodology The test methodology described in this document tries as much as possible not to modify the settings of the MiCOM P220 relay once these have been set so as to help the tests and avoid errors. A reference commissioning configuration file (MiCOM P220) is provided at the end of this section. All the tests of the MiCOM P220 relays are carried out by injecting currents to the secondary of the earth and/or phase CTs using appropriate injection test sets provided for this purpose.

2.1.2

Injection test boxes For reasons of convenience (weight, spatial requirement, transportation), a singlephased injection test set is more suitable for the tests and is able to perform all test types relating to the MiCOM P220 relay. Thus, the following descriptions indicate how to conduct the tests with a single-phase injection test set. However, for certain tests, the three-phase wiring diagrams are easier to understand and, in this case, the description is also given in three-phase format. Single-phase injection test set 1 current (0 to 50 A), timer (precision 1 ms). Three-phase injection test set 3 currents (0 to 50 A), timer (precision 1 ms).

2.1.3

Additional test equipments 2 multimeters (precision 1%), 1 clip-on ammeter to measure the currents exceeding 10 A (precision 2%), Test plugs and wires to carry out injections to the CTs secondary (dimensions according to the currents injected).

TG 1.1550 CHAPTER 8.2-A Page 4/20 2.1.4 Communication

Technical Guide Commissioning MiCOM P220

For all tests, the records can be made by using either the RS 485 rear port or the RS232 front port of the relay. 2.2 Commissioning test records Commissioning test records are available in the end of the Commissioning Chapter. The presentation of the Commissioning test records follows the sequence of the tests of this chapter. The contents of these Commissioning test records enable you to log: The name of the relay, station and circuit/plant The characteristics of the MiCOM P220 relay The various settings The results of the tests

3.1

PRODUCT VERIFICATION TESTS

Allocation of terminals It is necessary to consult the appropriate wiring diagram of the MiCOM P220 whilst observing the various polarities and ground/earth connection.

3.2

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) Before any handling of the module (active part of the relay), please refer to the recommendations in the HANDLING AND SAFETY section.

3.3

Visual inspection Carefully examine the relay to see if there has been any possible deterioration following installation. Check the serial number under the upper flap of the front panel. Also inspect the stated nominal values and the model number. Check if the external wiring corresponds to the appropriate relay diagram or the assembly diagram. When the relay is withdrawn from its case, use a continuity tester to check if the current short-circuits (phases and earth CTs) between the terminals indicated on the wiring diagram are closed.

3.4

Earthing Check if the earth connection of the case situated above the rear terminal block is used to connect the relay to a local earth bar. With several relays present, make sure that the copper earth bar is properly installed for solidly connecting the earthing terminals of each case.

Technical Guide Commissioning MiCOM P220 3.5 Current transformers (CTs) DANGER :

TG 1.1550 CHAPTER 8.2-A Page 5/20

NEVER OPEN CIRCUIT THE SECONDARY CIRCUIT OF A CURRENT TRANSFORMER SINCE THE HIGH VOLTAGE PRODUCED MAY BE LETHAL AND COULD DAMAGE INSULATION.

3.5.1

Use of a Core Balance CT for earth faults. If a core balance CT is used to detect earth faults, prior to any test, the user must check the following points: 1. 2. MV cable screens and core balance CT, No current flow through the MV cables.

3.5.1.1 Cable shields and core balance CT When mounting a core balance CT around electric cables, check the connection to the earth of the cable shields. It is vital that the earth cable of the shield moves in the opposite direction through the core balance CT. This cancels the currents carried by the cable shields through the core balance CT.

Technical Guide Commissioning MiCOM P220

It is necessary to check the orientation of the phase CTs by using the following method for instance: Have available a centre point analogue ammeter. Temporarily short-circuit the battery by checking the diagram polarities (+ on P1 and on P2). A positive current pulse traverses the milliammeter and the needle shall turn in a positive direction . Proceed this test for each phase CT.

NOTE :

De-magnetise the CT after the test. Inject a current starting from zero and slowly cross the CT nominal value and then decrease slowly to zero.

3.6

Auxiliary supply Check the value of the auxiliary supply voltage (terminals 33 and 34). The value measured shall be between 0.8 and 1.2 times the auxiliary supply nominal voltage indicated on the MiCOM P220 front panel (under the upper flap).

COMMISSIONING
The various operations described in this section are not exhaustive, but combine functions of MiCOM P220 relay which able to confirm that the relay is operational. The use of appropriate ALSTOM T&D P&C setting software connected to either the RS485 rear port or the RS232 front is not obligatory. The various indications associated with each commissioning module are described for the MiCOM P220 front panel display (LCD and LEDs). Commissioning covers the following points: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Input of settings, Validation of measurements, Validation of the thermal replica : I>, ALARM, FORBID START, Te1, Te2, Tr (49) Validation of phase protection thresholds and time delays : I>>, tI>> (50/51) Validation of earth protection thresholds and time delays : Io>, tIo>, Io>>, t Io>> (50N/51N) Validation of the Negative Sequence thresholds I2> and I2>> (46) Validation of the automation function: latching of the relay outputs.

4.1

Settings Input into the Commissioning Test Records file all of the settings of the MiCOM P220 relay.

4.2

Measurements The MiCOM P220 relay measures phase and earth currents as a True RMS value up to the 10th harmonic. The value(s) indicated take account of the phase and/or earth CT ratio. WARNING: WARNING MICOM P220 RELAY HAs 1 AND 5 AMP CURRENT INPUTS. CHECK THAT THE injectED CURRENT IS compatible WITH THE SELECTED RANGE Bring forward to the Setting record the values of phase and earth CTs. Energise the MiCOM P220 relay. Apply to each current input (as per wiring diagram) a current and check the values on the LCD display. Carry forward the results to the Commissioning test records (Applied values and relay values displayed)

4.3

Thermal replica Assign the thermal overload protective function to the trip output contact (relay RL1) and assign the ALARM protective function to an auxiliary output contact, RL2 for example. Set Ke equal to 3. In order to save time during testing, it is advisible to set all the thermal time constants to 5 minutes.

TG 1.1550 CHAPTER 8.2-A Page 8/20 The thermal operating time is given by the following:

Technical Guide Commissioning MiCOM P220

t = T ln [((Ieq / I>)2 i) / [((Ieq / I>)2 thresh] = T ln [(K2 i) /(K2 thresh)] where : t = operating time in seconds T = thermal time constant value in seconds Ieq = equivalent thermal current value I> = thermal overload current threshold K = Ieq / I> ratio i = initial thermal state value ; in our case i equal to 0. thresh = alarm threshold (settable) or tripping threshold (fixed value equal to 1)

Testing the relay via single-phase injection, results in the relay seeing equal current magnitudes for both positive and negative phase sequence quantities. Upon injection of a single phase current value equal to Iinject , the relay will see current magnitudes of Iinject/3 for both positive and negative phase sequences quantities. The equivalent thermal current value Ieq calculated by the relay will be given by the following: Ieq = (Ipositive2 + Ke . Inegative2 )0.5 = [(Iinject/3)2 + 3 . (Iinject/3)2]0,5 = 2/3 . Iinject Therefore, for an inject current value (Iinject ) equal to 3/2 . K . I> , the thermal equivalent current seen by the relay will be equal to K . I>. NOTE : When the Ke factor is not set to 3, in order for the relay to see a current equal to K. I>, the injected current value Iinject, ,will need to be equal to : [3/(1+Ke)0,5] . K . I>

4.3.1

Test wiring diagram The following diagram should be followed to tests the thermal replica. This diagram describes current injection on to the 5 Amp phase current inputs (terminals 41-42, 43-44, 45-46). To carry out injection for the 1 Amp phase inputs, perform the same test on the 1 Amp inputs (terminals 49-50, 51-52, 53-54).

Alarm threshold ALARM test, trip threshold test, and thermal constant time Te1 test. 1. 2. 3. 4. The binary input No 1 (terminals 22-24) should be kept energise during this test. Within the PROCESS menu, reset the thermal status value to 0. Inject a single-phase current equal to 2.7 times the I> threshold value into the phase A relay current input, this corresponds to an overload ratio of K = 1.8 Record the operating times of both alarm and trip threshold.

Checks: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 4.3.3 ALARM alarm message on the LCD display. Alarm LED flashes. ALARM LED flashes (if programmed). Operation of the RL2 output contact (if ALARM is assigned to RL2). Check RL2 operates at a time equal to Te1. ln [1,82/(1,82 - ALARM)] . Then occurrence of TH OVERLOAD alarm message on the LCD display. Trip LED flashes. THERM OVERLOAD LED flashes (if programmed). Operation of the trip output contact (relay RL1). Check RL1 operates at a time equal to 0.369 .Te1 .

Alarm threshold ALARM test, trip threshold test, and thermal constant time Te2 test. 1. 2. 3. 4. The binary input No 1 (terminals 22-24) should be kept energise during this test. Within the PROCESS menu, reset the thermal status value to 0. Inject a single-phase current equal to 3.9 times the I> threshold value into the phase A relay current input, this corresponds to an overload ratio of K = 2.6. Record the operating times of both alarm threshold and trip threshold.

Checks : 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. ALARM alarm message on the LCD display. Alarm LED flashes. ALARM LED flashes (if programmed). Operation of the RL2 output contact (if ALARM is assigned to RL2). Check RL2 operates at a time equal to Te2 . ln [2.62/(2.62 - ALARM)] . Then occurrence of TH OVERLOAD alarm message on the LCD display. Trip LED flashes. THERM OVERLOAD LED flashes (if programmed). Operation of the trip output contact (relay RL1). Check RL1 operates at a time equal to 0.160 . Te2 .

TG 1.1550 CHAPTER 8.2-A Page 10/20 4.3.4 Cooling down constant time Tr test. 1. 2. 3. 4.

Technical Guide Commissioning MiCOM P220

The binary input No 1 (terminals 22-24) should be kept unenergise during this test. If required, inject a single phase current into the relay in order that the thermal status value reaches 90%. When the injected current is removed, record the value. Note this value i. Wait several minutes in order to give time for the thermal status to reduce to <60%. Record the value. Note this value f. Note also the time from when the injected current was removed.

Checks : 1. Check the time from when the injected current was removed is approximately equal to Tr . ln (i / f ) . A time difference may exist between the theoretical time value and the test time value. Considering a Tr value equal to 5 mn, the time difference is typically 17 seconds. This time difference can easily reach100 seconds for a Tr value equal to 60 mn. Since cooling of the thermal replica follows a logarithmic rule and the value is displayed in 2 digits, a change in 1% steps of takes time. This time difference is due to the resolution of the step display, not the a drift in the relay accuracy.

Caution :

4.3.5

FORBID START threshold test. 1. 2. 3. 4. Set the FORBID START order to an auxiliary output contact (RL3 for instance), not the same than the one for which ALARM has been already assigned to. The binary input No 1 (terminals 22-24) shall be kept not energise during this test. Within the PROCESS menu, reset the thermal status value to 0. Inject a single-phase current equal to 3.9 times the I> threshold value into the phase A relay current input, which corresponds to a K = 2.6 overload ratio. Let the current injection during a time longer than Tr. ln [2.62/(2.62 FORBID START)] , the value is greater than the FORBID START threshold.

Checks : 1. 2. 3. 4. FORBIDDEN START alarm message on the LCD display. Alarm LED flashes. FORBIDDEN START LED flashes (if programmed). Operation of the RL3 output contact (if FORBIDDEN START is assigned to RL3) after a time equal to Tr. ln [2.62/(2.62 FORBID START)] . The thermal base start inhibition is self-reset when the value falls under the FORBID START threshold, so the checking of the above item shall be done quickly after the current injection stoppage.

Caution :

Reminder: the MiCOM P220 relay calculates the negative phase sequence component using the formula: I2 = 1/3 (Ia + a2 Ib + a Ic) With a = cos (2/3) + j sin (2/3) With a single phase injection such as the proposed figure 5: Ib = 0 and Ic = 0 And thus I2 = 1/3 Ia In this case, the negative sequence current measured by the MiCOM P220 is equal to one third of the injected current. 4.6.2 I2> threshold Values to be recorded: 1. 2.

Automation functions The MiCOM P220 relay has several automation functions (refer to the User Guide) The use of these functions is optional.

4.7.1

Latching of relay outputs All output relays of MiCOM P220 can be kept closed after the fault has disappeared (Relay Latching function in the AUTOMATION menu). The following test is suggested for the tIo>> threshold on the tripping output. The other thresholds and output relays can be tested identically. Set tIo>> threshold on the trip output with the relay latched. Leave the other threshold tIo> not latched.

4.7.2

Wiring diagram This wiring diagram makes it possible to conduct the test relating to the trip output latch on the tIo>> threshold. The diagram describes current injection on to the 5 Amp earth current input (terminals 47-48). To carry out an injection on to the 1 Amp earth input, perform the same tests on the earth 1 Amp input (terminals 55-56).

FIGURE 7 : LATCHING TEST SCHEME FOR tIO>>

Trip output latched check 1. 2. 3. Inject a current equal to 1.2 x I threshold Io>> on to the earth input and check that the trip output relay is closed after tIo>>time delay. Gradually decrease the current down to zero and check that the trip output relay is still closed. Reinitialise the trip output relay either by clearing the alarm message (alarm menu) or by activation of the Logic Input 3 (Terminals 22-24).

Checks 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Display of an alarm message on the front panel LCD Alarm LED flashes. Trip LED flashes. Trip output relay closes. Trip output relay opens after alarm message cleared.
