Restricted earth fault

The standard earth fault element operates from an earth fault input connection to measure the fault current in the earth path of the generator. Two independent stages are available for each phase

A core balance CT should be used to drive the sensitive earth fault function. The directionality is provided by the residual voltage.
Wattmetric

The restricted earth fault protection may be configured as either high impedance or low impedance biased differential.

The sensitive earth fault protection is also suitable for Petersen Coil earthed systems by enabling a wattmetric element. This form of protection uses the sensitive earth

Voltage dependent overcurrent/underimpedance

In order to provide backup protection for phase faults, an element is included which can be set as either voltage controlled overcurrent, voltage restrained overcurrent or underimpedance. If selected as voltage controlled or voltage restrained overcurrent, the timing characteristic can be set as either definite time or IDMT. If selected as underimpedance, a three phase non-directional underimpedance element is provided.
Neutral displacement/residual overvoltage

against motoring and/or CB interlocking to prevent overspeeding during machine shutdown.

Loss of field

Timers ensure that the element will be stable for normal voltage dips that could occur for system faults or machine reconnection.
Resistance temperature devices (RTDs)

To detect failure of the machine excitation a two stage offset mho impedance element is provided. This allows a small instantaneous characteristic to be used to provide fast tripping for loss of excitation at high power outputs, where system stability could be affected. The second stage can be set with a larger time delayed characteristic to provide stable, secure tripping under low power conditions. Integrating timers are provided to enable the impedance characteristic to provide time delayed pole slipping protection. A power factor alarm element is also available to offer more sensitive protection for unusual operating conditions, for example a lightly loaded unit operating as an induction generator.
Negative phase sequence

In order to monitor temperature accurately, an option allowing measurement of temperatures using up to 10 platinum RTDs is available. This provides an instantaneous alarm and time-delayed trip output for each RTD.
Blocked overcurrent logic

Residual overvoltage protection is available for detecting earth faults where there is an isolated or high impedance earth. The residual voltage can be measured from a broken delta VT, from the secondary winding of a distribution transformer earth at the generator neutral, or can be calculated from the three phase to neutral voltage measurements. Two independent stages of protection are provided, each can be set with a definite time delay and one stage can be configured to have an inverse time characteristic.
Under/overvoltage

Each stage of overcurrent and earth fault protection can be blocked by an optically isolated input. This enables the overcurrent and earth fault protection to be integrated into a blocked overcurrent busbar protection scheme.

Supervisory Functions
Circuit breaker failure protection

To protect against unbalanced stator currents caused by external faults or unbalanced loading, two stages of negative sequence protection are provided. These comprise a definite time alarm stage and a trip stage that operates with a thermal characteristic.
Overfluxing

Two stage circuit breaker failure protection may be used for tripping upstream circuit breakers and/or the local secondary trip coil. The circuit breaker failure logic may also be initiated externally from other protection devices if required.
Voltage transformer supervision

Under/overvoltage protection may be configured to operate from either phase-phase or phase-neutral voltage elements. Two independent stages with definite time elements are available. The first stage can also be configured to an inverse characteristic.
Under/overfrequency

To protect the generator, or connected transformer, against overexcitation a two stage V/Hz element is provided. The first stage is a definite time alarm, the second stage can be used to provide an inverse/definite time trip characteristic.
Unintentional energisation at standstill (P343 only)

Two independent stages of overfrequency and four of under frequency are provided. Each stage functions as a definite time element.
Power protection

The power protection element provides two stages which may be independently configured to operate as reverse power, over power or low forward power protection. These can be used to provide simple overload protection, protection

If the machine circuit breaker is closed accidentally, when the machine is not running, very high current will result. A voltage supervised overcurrent scheme is available to protect against this condition. When the machine voltage is low, that is, the machine is not running, an instantaneous overcurrent element is enabled.
4

Voltage transformer supervision (VTS) is provided to detect loss of one, two or three VT signals, providing indication and inhibition of voltage dependent protection elements. An optically isolated input may also be configured to initiate the voltage transformer supervision alarm and blocking when used with miniature circuit breakers (MCBs) or other external forms of voltage transformer supervision.
Current transformer supervision

Current transformer supervision (CTS) is provided to detect loss of phase CT signals and inhibit the operation of current dependent protection elements.

Control
Programmable scheme logic

Programmable scheme logic allows the user to customise the protection and control functions. It is also used to programme the functionality of the optically isolated inputs, relay outputs and LED indications. The programmable scheme logic comprises gate logic and general purpose timers. The gate logic includes OR, AND and majority gate functions, with the ability to invert the inputs and outputs, and provide feedback. The system is optimised to evaluate changes to the scheme logic signals and thus minimise any delays in logic execution. The programmable scheme logic may be configured using the graphical MiCOM S1 PC based support software, as illustrated in Figure 3. The required logic is drawn as shown and is then downloaded directly into the relay. The logic may also be uploaded from the relay and then modified using MiCOM S1 support software.

Measurement and Recording Facilities

The P340 series is capable of measuring and storing the values of a wide range of quantities. All events, fault and disturbance records are time tagged to a resolution of 1ms using an internal real time clock. An optional IRIG-B port is also provided for accurate time synchronisation. A lithium battery provides a back-up for the real time clock and all records in the event of supply failure. This battery is supervised and is easily replaced from the front of the relay.

Disturbance records

Remote communications

The internal disturbance recorder has 8 analogue channels, 32 digital and 1 time channel. Data is sampled 12 times a cycle and typically 20 disturbance records, each of up to 10.5 seconds duration are stored in non-volatile memory. All channels and the trigger source are user configurable. Disturbance records can be extracted from the relay via the remote communications and saved in the COMTRADE format. These records may be examined using MiCOM S1 or any suitable software program.

The remote communications are based on RS485 voltage levels. Any of the protocols listed below can be chosen at the time of ordering.
Courier/K-Bus

The Courier language is a protocol which has been developed specifically for the purpose of developing generic PC programs that will, without modification, communicate with any device using the Courier language.
Modbus

non-volatile memory. Test features available on the user interface provide examination of input quantities, states of the digital inputs and relay outputs. A local monitor port providing digital outputs, selected from a prescribed list of signals, including the status of protection elements, may be used in conjunction with test equipment. These test signals can also be viewed using the Courier and Modbus communications ports.

Plant Supervision
Trip circuit monitoring

Monitoring of the trip circuit in both breaker open and closed states can be realised using the programmable scheme logic.
Circuit breaker state monitoring

Modbus is a master/slave protocol, whereby the master must have knowledge of the slaves databases and addresses. The Modbus implementation supported by the MiCOM P340 series is RTU mode.
IEC 60870-5-103

An alarm will be generated if there is a discrepancy between the open and closed contacts of the circuit breaker.
Circuit breaker condition monitoring

The relay is compliant with the transmission protocol defined by the specification IEC 60870-5-103. The standarised messages based on the VDEW communication protocol are supported.
DNP 3.0

The circuit breaker condition monitoring features include: monitoring the number of breaker trip operations recording the sum of the broken current quantity Ix, 1.0 x 2.0 monitoring the breaker operating time monitoring the fault frequency counter

The DNP 3.0 protocol is defined and administered by the DNP User Group. The relay operates as a DNP 3.0 slave and supports subset level 2 of the protocol plus some of the features from level 3.
Local communications

Local and Remote Communications

Two communication ports are available; a rear port providing remote communications and a front port providing local communications.

The front serial communications port has been designed for use with MiCOM S1, which fully supports functions within the relay by providing the ability to program the settings off-line, configure the programmable scheme logic, extract and view event, disturbance and fault records, view the measurement information dynamically and perform control functions. PAS&T can also be used with the local communications port.

An integrated generator protection solution shall provide comprehensive protection against phase and earth faults and abnormal voltage, frequency, power, field failure and overfluxing conditions. Specific protection functions shall include; overcurrent, standard, sensitive and restricted earth faults, (100% stator earth fault), neutral displacement, voltage dependent overcurrent, under and overvoltage, under and overfrequency, reverse power/low forward power/over power, loss of field, negative phase sequence thermal, overfluxing, (unintentional energisation at standstill) and (generator differential) protections, as well as 10 temperature measuring points using RTDs Two stages of phase overcurrent and earth fault protection shall be provided, with a selection of nine IDMT characteristics for one of the stages. An additional CT shall be provided for sensitive and restricted earth fault protection. It shall be possible to set the power element for under power or reverse power as well as for over power. It shall be possible to configure the loss of field protection in such a way that it can be used for pole slipping protection.

Programming of the device shall be possible using a front panel user interface, local and remote communications ports. A configuration feature shall be provided to enable selection of required functions. This shall allow menu customisation, removing unwanted functions and settings groups from the settings displays. The front panel user interface shall provide independent keys for the viewing and acknowledgement of alarms. Fixed and programmable scheme logic shall be provided uploadable from relay to PC and PC to relay. The relay shall store factory default protection and scheme logic settings for restoration or upload to a PC. Time-tagged event, fault and disturbance records shall be stored in non-volatile memory. The internal disturbance recorder shall have a capacity to store 20 records, each record shall store sampled data from 8 analogue and 32 digital channels over a period of 10 seconds.

The vendor shall be able to provide software support for local and remote programming, and extraction of records from the device. A comprehensive range of instantaneous and integrated measurement values shall be available for viewing on the user interface and the communications ports. These values shall include the temperature measurements that are taken from the ten monitoring points.
