Section 2 REF615 overview

2.1 Overview

REF615 is a dedicated feeder IED (intelligent electronic device) designed for theprotection, control, measurement and supervision of utility substations andindustrial power systems. REF615 is a member of ABB’s Relion® product familyand part of its 615 protection and control product series. The 615 series IEDs arecharacterized by their compactness and withdrawable design.

Re-engineered from the ground up, the 615 series has been designed to unleash thefull potential of the IEC 61850 standard for communication and interoperabilitybetween substation automation devices.

The IED provides main protection for overhead lines and cable feeders indistribution networks. The IED is also used as back-up protection in applications,where an independent and redundant protection system is required.

Depending on the chosen standard configuration, the IED is adapted for theprotection of overhead line and cable feeders in isolated neutral, resistance earthed,compensated and solidly earthed networks. Once the standard configuration IEDhas been given the application-specific settings, it can directly be put into service.

The 615 series IEDs support a range of communication protocols including IEC61850 with GOOSE messaging, IEC 60870-5-103, Modbus® and DNP3.

2.7 Communication

The IED supports a range of communication protocols including IEC 61850, IEC60870-5-103, Modbus® and DNP3. Operational information and controls areavailable through these protocols. However, some communication functionality,for example, horizontal communication between the IEDs, is only enabled by theIEC 61850 communication protocol.

The IEC 61850 communication implementation supports all monitoring andcontrol functions. Additionally, parameter setting and disturbance file records canbe accessed using the IEC 61850 protocol. Disturbance files are available to anyEthernet-based application in the standard COMTRADE format. Further, the IEDcan send and receive binary signals from other IEDs (so called horizontalcommunication) using the IEC61850-8-1 GOOSE profile, where the highestperformance class with a total transmission time of 3 ms is supported. The IEDmeets the GOOSE performance requirements for tripping applications indistribution substations, as defined by the IEC 61850 standard. The IED cansimultaneously report events to five different clients on the station bus.

The IED can support five simultaneous clients. If PCM600 reserves one clientconnection, only four client connections are left, for example, for IEC 61850 andModbus.

3.1 REF615 variant list

REF615 is intended for protection and control mainly in MV feeder applications.The product has a number of standard configurations covering a wide range ofprimary circuit configurations in distribution networks based on different systemearthing methods.

Some of the functions included in the IED's standard configurations are optional atthe time of placing the order. The description of standard configurations covers thefull functionality including options, presenting the functionality, flexibility andexternal connections of REF615 with a specific configuration as delivered from thefactory.

3.2 Presentation of standard configurations

Functional diagramsThe functional diagrams describe the IED's functionality from the protection,measuring, condition monitoring, disturbance recording, control and interlockingperspective. Diagrams show the default functionality with simple symbol logicsforming principle diagrams. The external connections to primary devices are alsoshown, stating the default connections to measuring transformers. The positivemeasuring direction of directional protection functions is towards the outgoing feeder.

The functional diagrams are divided into sections which each constitute onefunctional entity. The external connections are also divided into sections. Only therelevant connections for a particular functional entity are presented in each section.

Protection function blocks are part of the functional diagram. They are identifiedbased on their IEC 61850 name but the IEC based symbol and the ANSI functionnumber are also included. Some function blocks, such as PHHPTOC, are usedseveral times in the configuration. To separate the blocks from each other, the IEC61850 name, IEC symbol and ANSI function number are appended with a runningnumber, that is an instance number, from one upwards. If the block has no suffixafter the IEC or ANSI symbol, the function block has been used, that is,instantiated, only once. The IED’s internal functionality and the externalconnections are separated with a dashed line presenting the IED’s physical casing.

1) Note that all directional protection functions can also be used in non-directional mode.2) Basic interlocking functionality: Closing of the circuit breaker can be enabled by a binary input signal. The actual interlocking scheme is

implemented outside the relay. The binary input serves as a "master interlocking input" and when energized it will enable circuit breakerclosing.

3) Extended interlocking functionality: The circuit breaker interlocking scheme is implemented in the relay configuration, based on primaryequipment position information (via binary inputs) and the logical functions available. The signal matrix of PCM600 can be used formodifying the interlocking scheme to suit your application.

3.4.3 Functional diagramsThe functional diagrams describe the default input, output, alarm LED and function-to-function connections. The default connections can be viewed and changed withPCM600 according to the application requirements, if necessary.

The analog channels have fixed connections towards the different function blocksinside the IED’s standard configuration. Exceptions from this rule are the 12analog channels available for the disturbance recorder function. These channels arefreely selectable and a part of the disturbance recorder’s parameter settings, thusnot included in the PCM600 functionality.

The analog channels are assigned to different functions as shown in the functionaldiagrams. The common signal marked with 3I represents the three phase currents.The signal marked with I0 represents the measured residual current via a corebalance current transformer. The signal marked with U0 represents the measuredresidual voltage via open delta connected voltage transformers.

The EFHPTOC protection function block for double (cross-country) earth-faultsuses the calculated residual current originating from the measured phase currents.

Figure 23: Phase discontinuity, thermal overload and circuit breaker failureprotection

The phase discontinuity protection (PDNPSTOC1) provides protection forinterruptions in the normal three-phase load supply, for example, in downedconductor situations. The operate signal of the phase discontinuity protection isconnected to the Master Trip and also to an alarm LED and the disturbancerecorder. The thermal overload protection (T1PTTR1) provides indication onoverload situations. The operate signal of the phase discontinuity protection isconnected to the Master Trip and also to an alarm LED. LED 4 is used for thephase discontinuity protection operate indication, the same as for negativesequence overcurrent protection operate indication, and LED 5 is used for thethermal overload protection alarm indication.

The breaker failure protection (CCBRBRF1) is initiated via the start input by anumber of different protection stages in the IED. The breaker failure protectionfunction offers different operating modes associated with the circuit breakerposition and the measured phase and residual currents. The breaker failureprotection has two operating outputs: TRRET and TRBU. The TRRET operateoutput is used for re-tripping its own breaker through the Master Trip 2. The TRBUoutput is used to give a back-up trip to the breaker feeding upstream. For thispurpose, the TRBU operate output signal is connected to the output PO2 (X100:8-9). LED 6 is used for back-up (TRBU) operate indication.

The autoreclose function can be blocked with the INHIBIT_RECL input. As adefault, the operation of selected protection functions are connected to this input. Acontrol command to the circuit breaker, either local or remote, also blocks theautoreclose function via the CBXCBR-selected signal.

The circuit breaker availability for the autoreclosure sequence is expressed with thebinary input 4 (X110:6-7) by connecting the input signal to the CB_RDY input. Incase this signal is completely removed from the autoreclose function block withPCM600, the function assumes that the breaker is available all the time.

The autoreclose sequence in progress indication is connected to the alarm LED 11.

The circuit breaker closing is enabled when the ENA_CLOSE input is activated.The input can be activated by the configuration logic, which is a combination ofthe disconnector or breaker truck and earth switch position statuses and the statusesof the master trip logics and gas pressure alarm and circuit-breaker spring charging.This combination of interlocking conditions is called LOCAL_FEEDER_READYand is transferred also to the remote end via binary signal transfer. The OKPOSoutput from DCSXSWI defines if the disconnector or breaker truck is definitelyeither open/in test position or close/in service position. This, together with the openearth switch and non-active trip signals, activates the close-enable signal to thecircuit breaker control function block. The open operation is always enabled. Theauto-recloser close command signals are directly connected to the output contactPO1 (X100:6-7).

The ITL_BYPASS input can be used, for example, to always enable the closing ofthe circuit breaker when the circuit breaker truck is in the test position, despite ofthe interlocking conditions being active when the circuit breaker truck is closed inservice position.

If the ENA_CLOSE signal is completely removed from the breakercontrol function block CBXCBR with PCM600, the functionassumes that the breaker close commands are allowed continuously.

If REMOTE_FEEDER_READY information is missing, forexample in case of protection communication not connected, itdisables the circuit breaker closing in the local IED.

The circuit breaker condition monitoring function (SSCBR) supervises the circuitbreaker status based on the binary input information connected and measuredcurrent levels. The function introduces various supervision methods. Thecorresponding supervision alarm signals are routed to LED 8.

3.7 Standard configuration E including directional earth-fault protection with phase-voltage measurement

3.7.1 ApplicationsThe standard configuration for directional earth-fault protection is mainly intendedfor cable and overhead-line feeder applications in isolated and resonant-eartheddistribution networks.

The IED with this standard configuration is delivered from the factory with defaultsettings and parameters. The end-user flexibility for incoming, outgoing andinternal signal designation within the IED enables this configuration to be furtheradapted to different primary circuit layouts and the related functionality needs bymodifying the internal functionality using PCM600.

3.7.3 Functional diagramsThe functional diagrams describe the default input, output, alarm LED and function-to-function connections. The default connections can be viewed and changed withPCM600 according to the application requirements, if necessary.

The analog channels have fixed connections towards the different function blocksinside the IED’s standard configuration. Exceptions from this rule are the 12analog channels available for the disturbance recorder function. These channels arefreely selectable and a part of the disturbance recorder’s parameter settings, thusnot included in the PCM600 functionality.

The analog channels are assigned to different functions as shown in the functionaldiagrams. The common signal marked with 3I represents the three phase currents.The signal marked with I0 represents the measured residual current via a corebalance current transformer. The signal marked with U0 represents the measuredresidual voltage via open delta connected voltage transformers.

The EFHPTOC protection function block for double (cross-country) earth-faultsuses the calculated residual current originating from the measured phase currents.

3.8 Standard configuration F including directionalovercurrent protection with voltage protection

3.8.1 ApplicationsThe standard configuration is mainly intended for comprehensive protection andcontrol functionality of circuit breaker controlled asynchronous motors. Withminor modifications this standard configuration can be applied also for contactorcontrolled motors.

The IED with this standard configuration is delivered from the factory with defaultsettings and parameters. The end-user flexibility for incoming, outgoing andinternal signal designation within the IED enables this configuration to be furtheradapted to different primary circuit layouts and the related functionality needs bymodifying the internal functionality using PCM600.

The analog channels are assigned to different functions as shown in the functionaldiagrams. The common signal marked with 3I represents the three phase currentsand 3U the three phase voltages. The signal marked with I0 represents themeasured residual current via a core balance current transformer. The signalmarked with U0 represents the measured residual voltage via open delta connectedvoltage transformers.

The EFHPTOC protection function block for double (cross-country) earth-faultsuses the calculated residual current originating from the measured phase currents.

3.8.3.1 Functional diagrams for protection

The functional diagrams describe the IED’s protection functionality in detail andaccording to the factory set default connections.

Four overcurrent stages are available for overcurrent and short-circuit protection.Three of them include directional functionality (DPHxPDOC). The non-directionalinstantaneous stage (PHIPTOC1) can be blocked by energizing the binary input 1(X120:1-2). Two negative-sequence overcurrent stages (NSPTOC1 andNSPTOC2) are available for phase unbalance protection. The inrush detectionblock’s (INRPHAR1) output BLK2H enables either blocking the function ormultiplying the active settings for any of the shown protection function blocks.

Section 4 Requirements for measurementtransformers

4.1 Current transformers

4.1.1 Current transformer requirements for non-directionalovercurrent protectionFor reliable and correct operation of the overcurrent protection, the CT has to bechosen carefully. The distortion of the secondary current of a saturated CT mayendanger the operation, selectivity, and co-ordination of protection. However,when the CT is correctly selected, a fast and reliable short circuit protection can beenabled.

The selection of a CT depends not only on the CT specifications but also on thenetwork fault current magnitude, desired protection objectives, and the actual CTburden. The protection relay settings should be defined in accordance with the CTperformance as well as other factors.

4.1.1.1 Current transformer accuracy class and accuracy limit factor

The rated accuracy limit factor (Fn) is the ratio of the rated accuracy limit primarycurrent to the rated primary current. For example, a protective current transformerof type 5P10 has the accuracy class 5P and the accuracy limit factor 10. Forprotective current transformers, the accuracy class is designed by the highestpermissible percentage composite error at the rated accuracy limit primary currentprescribed for the accuracy class concerned, followed by the letter "P" (meaningprotection).

Table 24: Limits of errors according to IEC 60044-1 for protective current transformers

Accuracy class Current error atrated primarycurrent (%)

Phase displacement at rated primarycurrent

Composite error atrated accuracy limitprimary current (%)minutes centiradians

5P ±1 ±60 ±1.8 5

10P ±3 - - 10

The accuracy classes 5P and 10P are both suitable for non-directional overcurrentprotection. The 5P class provides a better accuracy. This should be noted also ifthere are accuracy requirements for the metering functions (current metering,power metering, and so on) of the relay.

The CT accuracy primary limit current describes the highest fault currentmagnitude at which the CT fulfils the specified accuracy. Beyond this level, thesecondary current of the CT is distorted and it might have severe effects on theperformance of the protection relay.

In practise, the actual accuracy limit factor (Fa) differs from the rated accuracylimit factor (Fn) and is proportional to the ratio of the rated CT burden and theactual CT burden.

The actual accuracy limit factor is calculated using the formula:

4.1.1.2 Non-directional overcurrent protection

The current transformer selectionNon-directional overcurrent protection does not set high requirements on theaccuracy class or on the actual accuracy limit factor (Fa) of the CTs. It is, however,recommended to select a CT with Fa of at least 20.

The nominal primary current I1n should be chosen in such a way that the thermaland dynamic strength of the current measuring input of the relay is not exceeded.This is always fulfilled when

I1n > Ikmax / 100,

Ikmax is the highest fault current.

The saturation of the CT protects the measuring circuit and the current input of therelay. For that reason, in practice, even a few times smaller nominal primarycurrent can be used than given by the formula.

Recommended start current settingsIf Ikmin is the lowest primary current at which the highest set overcurrent stage ofthe relay is to operate, then the start current should be set using the formula:

Current start value < 0.7 x (Ikmin / I1n)

I1n is the nominal primary current of the CT.

The factor 0.7 takes into account the protection relay inaccuracy, currenttransformer errors, and imperfections of the short circuit calculations.

The adequate performance of the CT should be checked when the setting of thehigh set stage O/C protection is defined. The operate time delay caused by the CTsaturation is typically small enough when the relay setting is noticeably lower thanFa.

When defining the setting values for the low set stages, the saturation of the CTdoes not need to be taken into account and the start current setting is simplyaccording to the formula.

Delay in operation caused by saturation of current transformersThe saturation of CT may cause a delayed relay operation. To ensure the timeselectivity, the delay must be taken into account when setting the operate times ofsuccessive relays.

With definite time mode of operation, the saturation of CT may cause a delay thatis as long as the time the constant of the DC component of the fault current, whenthe current is only slightly higher than the starting current. This depends on theaccuracy limit factor of the CT, on the remanence flux of the core of the CT, andon the operate time setting.

With inverse time mode of operation, the delay should always be considered asbeing as long as the time constant of the DC component.

With inverse time mode of operation and when the high-set stages are not used, theAC component of the fault current should not saturate the CT less than 20 times thestarting current. Otherwise, the inverse operation time can be further prolonged.Therefore, the accuracy limit factor Fa should be chosen using the formula:

Fa > 20*Current start value / I1n

The Current start value is the primary pickup current setting of the relay.

4.1.1.3 Example for non-directional overcurrent protection

The following figure describes a typical medium voltage feeder. The protection isimplemented as three-stage definite time non-directional overcurrent protection.

Figure 66: Example of three-stage overcurrent protection

The maximum three-phase fault current is 41.7 kA and the minimum three-phaseshort circuit current is 22.8 kA. The actual accuracy limit factor of the CT iscalculated to be 59.

The start current setting for low-set stage (3I>) is selected to be about twice thenominal current of the cable. The operate time is selected so that it is selective withthe next relay (not visible in the figure above). The settings for the high-set stageand instantaneous stage are defined also so that grading is ensured with thedownstream protection. In addition, the start current settings have to be defined sothat the relay operates with the minimum fault current and it does not operate withthe maximum load current. The settings for all three stages are as in the figure above.

For the application point of view, the suitable setting for instantaneous stage (I>>>)in this example is 3 500 A (5.83 x I2n). For the CT characteristics point of view, thecriteria given by the current transformer selection formula is fulfilled and also therelay setting is considerably below the Fa. In this application, the CT rated burdencould have been selected much lower than 10 VA for economical reasons.
