ERL Launches Advanced B-PRO 4000

Multi-Busbar Protection System

We are proud to present our latest offering, the B-PRO 4000 Multi-Busbar system which provides protection for any bus bar configuration with 3 differential zones and a check zone. Its scalable architecture ushers in the flexibility of employing the most cost effective hardware combinations, based on the actual number of zones and number of current inputs in the bus system. For example, protection for 23 feeders plus one bus tie breaker can be provided using four B-PRO 4000 relays communicating with each other.

This state-of-art system provides current differential bus protection, circuit breaker failure protection, end fault protection, backup over current protection, independent check zone, open CT and advanced saturation detection for EHV bus-bars. It also provides control, automation, metering, monitoring, fault oscillography, event logging, and dynamic swing recording with advanced communication in a flexible cost effective package.

The highlights of this system are:

Easy to use, intuitive setting and analysis software

Dynamic Bus Replica

Integrated Breaker Fail Protection with single phase initiation, End Zone Protection and Over Current Protection for each input current

Isolator and CB status monitoring and alarming

Delta Phase and Rate of Change of Differential (ROCOD) algorithms provide enhanced security during external faults with heavy CT saturation

Use 1 x B-PRO 4000 relay for every 6 x 3-phase CT inputs configured for the bus differential element

High quality fault recording and event log

ERLPhase Receives Certification for B-PRO 4000

We congratulate ERLPhase

P o w e r Te c h n o l o g i e s o n

receiving the coveted IEC

61850 protocol certification for

its B-PRO 4000 Bus Protection

Relay. This was issued by the

Central Power Research Institute

of India, this independent

assessment is based on the UCA

International Users Group

Device Test Procedures. The IEC

61850 Station Bus protocol (8-

1) is offered as a standard

feature on all 4000 Series

relays and recorders.

The IEC 61850 standard was

deve loped by to ensu re

interoperability of substation

automation devices. Beginning

in 1995, an IEC project group

of about 60 members from

different countries worked in 3

IEC working groups to create a

single protocol which would:

define basic services required

to transfer data in the future,

p romo te in te roperab i l i t y

between vendor sys tems,

standardize on a common

format for data storage, and

define testing requirements for

conformance to the standard.

The New Year brings new cheer! We have received a

large order from RRVPNL for the Supply of 80 nos.

Numerical Bus Bar Protection Schemes for the 220kV

Grid Substation against Tender Specification No.

2948. Our B-PRO Relay has been approved for this

project.We congratulate the team.

special day of 29th November, 2013. The event commenced

with five teams of 4 members each with a homogenous mix of

employees from different functions. The event was

spread across three rounds. The first one was a

multiple choice question and the second a Visual

Connection round. Each team were given random

images, which they had to relate to a quality concept.

This gave us amazing insights into different quality

concepts and the participants displayed amazing skill

and creativity in connecting random and funny

images to the topic. The third round was given in the

form of a crossword puzzle containing terms and

topics related to quality. The participants involved

themselves enthusiastically and came up with

wonderful and creative answers to each question

thrown at them.

Finally the Team consisting of Mr. Selvam (PPB-

Assembly), Mr. Baskar. V (SWG-Engineering), Ms.

Uma Maheswari (SWG-Purchase), Mr.Murali.S (PSB-

Manufacturing) emerged the winners with a healthy

lead in their points.

Mrs. Mathuravani. R, Head-Quality was the judge

and Mr. Buvanesh Kumar. B from HR team was the

quiz master. Mr. Gomathi Srinivasan and Mr. Bharath

Kumar from QA were the official scorer and Time

Keeper.

Mr. Sriram. S. V, Head-SCM and Mr. Sathiyaseelan,

DGM-Operations were the special guests for the

evening. They stressed the importance of such events

that create a vital informal learning environment that

brings the opportunity for knowledge sharing and

personal enhancement. The special guests gave

The Thiagarajar College of Engineering, Madurai

organized a two-day Faculty Development Program

on Smart Grid Technologies-Issues& Challenges in

collaboration with Central Power Research &

Institute, Bangalore on 17th and 18th October.

The participants consisted of Professors, Assistant

Professors and Research Scholars from Technical

Universities across Tamil Nadu.

Mr. Mukund, Head-Technical Support Business of

ERL was bestowed the honour of being the Chief

Guest for the program. After the customary

invocation, welcome address and presidential

address, he made his address for about 100

minutes. His valuable speech provided a complete

overview of Smart Grid Technology. This included

Michel Faradays’s discovery of Electromagnetic

Induct ion in 1831, the f i rs t commercial

development Single phase Alternator in 1896 to

deliver power over a distance of 0.5 Kms, evolution

of power grids in the last 100 years and the advent

of unconventional Generation (Wind, Solar, Tidal

etc) and merging them with the Power Grids.

The other topics dealt with inb-depth were the

paradigm shift with intelligence built in the

protection, measuring & control systems,

the introduction of the concept of smart grid in 2003

and its direction, present day technology to be

incorporated in Smart Grid, remote controlled with

common open protocol using intelligent IEDs, Smart

Meters, Optical CTs, VTs, Process Bus, Merging

Units, PMUs, WAMS & WAPS.

His presentation was lucid and engaging and was

greatly appreciated by the participants as well as

the organizers. We are proud of him.


Mr. Mukund Honoured at Faculty Development Program
