SUMMARY
Introduction
Teleprotection equipment serves to transmit tripping signals produced by protective relays and systems in HV electrical power systems. In the event of a fault it makes a decisive contribution to rapidly and selectively isolating the faulty line. The most important characteristics of teleprotection equipment are security, dependability and transmission time. Interference on the communication lines must neither simulate a tripping signal when there is no fault (security) nor inadmissibly delay a genuine tripping signal (dependability). High security and high dependability coupled with short transmission times and a narrow bandwidth are contradictory requirements. However, one of these characteristics can always be given preference over the other. Which compromise is chosen depends on the application. For example, permissive transfer tripping protection schemes require a fast channel with high dependability, but a somewhat reduced security is acceptable. Direct transfer tripping schemes, however, have to have the highest possible security and dependability, but have reduced demands on channel speed. Microprocessor techniques and digital signal processing enable the programmable teleprotection equipment NSD 70C to be adapted to optimally suit the different operating modes required of tripping signal communication via analogue AF speech channels.1)

The NSD 70D version can be directly connected to digital interfaces of digital transmission equipment.

NSD 70C Features

Versatile application Transmission of tripping signals in blocking, permissive and direct transfer tripping schemes via pilot wires, the speech channels of microwave links and PLC channels and the speech channels of digital multiplexers. Programmable Channel frequency, bandwidth, transmission time and levels of security and dependability can be set on the unit using programming switches. Up to 4 commands per unit Suitable for protecting double-circuit lines. In the frequency multiplexing mode, several NSD 70C's can be operated in parallel on one AF channel. Compact Two independent NSD 70C units in each 19" rack enable for example redundant schemes to be achieved economically. High speed 6 ms transmitting one command or 8 ms transmitting two to four commands for each correspondingly programmed unit satisfies the most critical transmission time requirements. Reliable and robust All interfaces and the power supply are d.c. isolated. Duplicate power supply units can be fitted (redundancy). Signal boosting The tripping signal can be transmitted at a much higher power than the guard signal. Digital signal processing Algorithms optimized for transmitting protection signals ensure safe and reliable operation even under the most difficult conditions. Teed lines Economic schemes for protecting lines with multiple terminals. In-operation testing Cyclic and manual testing routines enable the integrity of the communications channel to be tested during normal operation. The availability of the equipment is continuously monitored by self-testing procedures. Information on the status and settings of the equipment or alarm signals from the local unit can be accessed via a serial interface using a pocket-terminal or a PC. Modular structure The equipment is logically divided into a signal processing module, an AF interface, a relay interface, an alarm interface, a d.c. isolated power supply unit and an optional trip counter. Open system With two exceptions, the units of the NSD 70C for analogue communication are identical to those of the NSD 70D for digital communication. This high degree of compatibility facilitates the conversion from one to the other transmission system and reduces the number of different modules.

Application
NSD 70C is a programmable teleprotection unit capable of transmitting up to four tripping signals over AF communication channels such as cables, the speech channels of microwave links and PLC equipment and the speech channels of digital multiplexers. The NSD 70C is suitable for blocking, permissive and direct transfer tripping schemes and also for the transmission of continuous tripping signals in point-to-point or teed systems. The NSD 70C can be programmed for the following operating modes: Mode 1: 2 independent one-tone-commands (as NSD 70) Mode 2: 2 independent dual tone commands A,B or 3 dual tone commands A,B,C with priority of command C Mode 3: 4 dual tone commands A,B,C,D, with priority of command D For a more detailed description of the operating modes refer to section 9.1. The ability to program the unit enables the best use to be made of the available bandwidth and the operation to be adapted to the different requirements of the various protection schemes. For example, the bandwidth can be set on programming switches in accordance with the specified transmission time. The channel frequencies (centre of the band) can be selected in steps of 60 Hz. The levels of security and dependability can be selected from given values. Being able to program the unit eliminates tuned frequency dependent components, which simplifies the stocking of spare parts and makes the units more readily interchangeable. The basic version of the NSD 70C is designed to transmit one command. By inserting additional relay interface modules, it can be expanded to handle up to four commands with priority. An NSD 70C with two commands is ideal, for example, for protecting a double-circuit line. A unblocking (deblocking) function is standard on all units, which closes a contact for 200 ms in the event of loss of signal. Deblocking is relevant above all in the case of permissive overreaching schemes. All interfaces are potential free and d.c. isolated. A signal is transmitted by applying a d.c. voltage (contact + battery). At the receiving end, each command has a main and an auxiliary contact and a common alarm contact. A trip counter can be optionally fitted. The AF interfaces can be programmed for a rated impedance of 600 Ohms or for highimpedance termination, which enables several units to be connected in parallel for frequency multiplexed operation. The following diagram shows a few typical examples of how channels can be allocated when using the NSD 70C.

Figure 1-1 Channel allocation with NSD 70C Example 1) shows a typical PLC application. AN NSD 70C channel 1200 Hz wide with a centre frequency of 2760 Hz is superimposed on a PLC speech channel with a bandwidth limited to 2000 Hz. Example 2) shows how three NSD 70C's, each set to a bandwidth of 960 Hz, can be accommodated in one AF channel. Example 3) shows two NSD 70C's in an AF speech channel, one with a bandwidth of 2400 Hz and thus ensures extremely short transmission times, and the other with a bandwidth of only 480 Hz, for example, for direct transfer tripping. In all three cases, each of the NSD 70C's, i.e. each of the frequency bands shown, can handle one or up to four commands. Example 2 could therefore amount to a total of 12 commands. The corresponding transmission times are given in the Technical Data in Section 6. External connections and power supply All connections are made by plug-in connectors at the rear of the unit, which are then routed to isolating terminals (4 mm2). A 19" rack NSD 70C can be equipped with the following variants: two independent NSD 70C each with two commands and trip counter two independent NSD 70C each with three commands without trip counter one NSD 70C with up to four commands and trip counter

NSD 70C
Utility Communication Systems Summary

The rack can be equipped with one single power supply unit or may have a redundant supply with two units. The range of power supply units covers all the standard battery voltages between 24 V and 250 V and an a.c. supply of 230 V. The power supply cable is connected to FASTON terminals located on the side of the unit. Teed lines When set to the T-operation mode, the equipment can protect lines with three and more terminals. In this case, a signal transmitted by one unit is received by all the others. A set of terminal equipment for each teed leg comprises two NSD 70C's in the same rack. The signals are looped through each terminal station such that no time is lost due to additional signal processing; in this mode a maximum of three commands can be used. Further details on particular applications are to be found in Section 8.

Caution

When the NSD 70C is connected to cables, pilot wires or leased circuits, this apparatus must only be used in conjunction with barrier transformers withstanding a test voltage of 15 kVrms or 20 kVrms at 50 Hz/60 Hz for 1 minute, according to the national regulations.

3.4.

Principle of operation
The NSD 70C operates according to the frequency shift principle. In the quiescent state, i.e. when there is no command actuated at the inputs, the NSD 70C transmits a guard signal. The guard signal is continuously processed by the receiver in the opposite station, which gives alarm should the signal quality become inadequate (signal-to-noise ratio or signal level). In the command state, the NSD 70C interrupts the guard signal to transmit the tripping signal, which can be an one-tone-signal or a dual tone signal, depending on the operating mode. Tripping signals can be transmitted at a higher power than the guard signal (power boosting). An NSD 70C equipped for several commands transmits each signal or signal combination with the same (full) power so that the maximum possible signal-to-noise ratio is achieved at the receiver. As soon as the receiver detects that the guard signal is missing and is receiving a correct tripping signal of adequate quality, the command is relayed to the designated output. Should there be a failure of the signal being received (i.e. neither tripping nor guard signal is being received), separate unblocking (deblocking) contacts close for 200 ms. Single tone principle In the command state, with no power boosting being programmed, a discrete frequency of the same amplitude as the guard signal is transmitted.

NSD 70C
Utility Communication Systems Summary

Dual tone principle In the command state the multiplex signal of two discrete frequencies is transmitted. With no power boosting being programmed, the multiplex signal has the same amplitude as the guard signal or the single tone command; but the power level of the tripping signal is 3 db lower than the power level of the guard signal. Digital signal processing All signal processing, i.e. the generation of signals for transmission and the filtering and evaluation of received signals is performed entirely digitally by a signal processor in the DSP (Digital Signal Processing) module. The signals are only converted from analogue to digital in the AF interface. Digitizing the signals largely obviates the need for calibration and eliminates the influences of ageing and temperature. Powerful adaptive algorithms continuously adjust to variations of the communications channel characteristics with time and provide the high security, even under the most difficult transmission conditions, against loss of tripping signal respectively false tripping signals. Programming facilities Programming switches are provided for setting the unit, i.e. choice of channel frequency, bandwidth, transmission time and levels of security and dependability. The frequency band is used in the same way as for a narrow band data channel with signalling speeds between 50 and 1200 Bd. The centre frequency of a channel can be selected in steps of 60 Hz. NSD 70C's equipped for one command permit one of three transmission times to be selected for each bandwidth (with operating mode 1 chosen). Those for several commands have a choice of two transmission times. For each setting, there are two steps to exchange security against dependability. The settings for the transmission time, security and dependability are valid for all commands simultaneously. The unit can be expanded to handle several commands by simply inserting further relay interfaces and programming the settings accordingly. Testing during normal operation An automatic loop testing routine cyclically checks the teleprotection channel. The test signal, which is transmitted in the same way as a genuine tripping signal, is recognized by the receiver and "reflected" back to the transmitter. The test routine is terminated, providing the test signal arrives back at the transmitter, otherwise it is repeated and the NSD 70C gives alarm should it fail repeatedly. The loop test can also be initiated manually at any of the stations by pressing a button on the front of the equipment. A LED indicates the result of the test. Internal test routines continuously monitor the availability of the NSD 70C. The tests do not impair the equipments ability to operate if need be, i.e. a proper tripping signal always has priority over any test procedures.

Utility Communication Systems Summary

Service interface A serial interface is provided on the frontplate for service and diagnostic purposes and as a commissioning aid. By connecting either a special pocket-terminal ("TELEPROTECTION TERMINAL", see section 12.2) or a PC to this interface, it is possible to access data on equipment settings, firmware in use and operating parameters without affecting the normal operation of the NSD 70C. Alarms The following criteria are continuously monitored and generate alarms: Guard signal level out of tolerance Insufficient signal-to-noise ratio Single component failure, i.e. guard and tripping signals being either simultaneously received or not received Tripping signal longer than 2.5 s (alarm can be inhibited for continuous signal transmission, valid for all commands simultaneously) Power supply failure Response of internal test routines The alarm outputs are potential-free contacts: 1 common alarm per command on each relay interface 2 common alarms on the alarm interface The alarm signalling relays have a pick-up time delay with a setting range of 80 ms to 10 s (alarm interface) respectively 50 ms to 2.0 s for the alarm relay on the relay interface (see block diagram in Section 3.5). The alarm relays have a fixed reset time delay of 2 seconds (alarm and relay interface). Programming switches facilitate the selection of how the command outputs should respond in the event of a signal-to-noise or level alarm: The alarm status has no influence on the command outputs. Command outputs are set to active (tripping status). Command outputs are set inactive (guard status). Command outputs retain the statuses they had immediately prior to the alarm.

Figure 1-2 Block diagram NSD 70C Power supply units G3HG, G3HH, G3HI (G3HK and G3HQ available upon request) There are several types of power supply units which cover all the standard battery and a.c. power supply voltages. One power supply unit is capable of supplying a whole tier, i.e. a maximum of two NSD 70C's. A redundant supply can be achieved by installing two power supply units, which may be combined in any desired fashion. Refer to Technical Data in Section 6 for the input voltages. DSP module G3HL The signal processing module G3HL contains essentially the functions for generating the digital transmitting signal and evaluating the received signal, the alarm display and the programming switches for channel selection. The diagnostic connector for a pocket-terminal or a PC is located on the front of the module. Analogue interface G3HB The analogue interface G3HB (AF interface) forms the link with the communications channel. It contains the input and output transformers and amplifiers, the A/D and D/A converters and a potential-free, d.c. isolated output for the power boosting criterion. The analogue interface can be switched for 2-wire respectively 4-wire operation.

NSD 70C
Utility Communication Systems Summary

Relay interfaces G3HC and G3HD The relay interface forms the link with the protection relay. Each NSD 70C can have a maximum of 4 interfaces of either type or both types together. The interfaces contain the transmitting and receiving circuits for one command and a common alarm output. An auxiliary command output is associated with each main output, which can be used, for example, for controlling an event recorder. All input and output circuits are potential-free and d.c. isolated. Alarm interface G3HE The alarm interface includes the functions of the power supply monitor, internal 5 V supply, alarm relay drivers and the unblocking (deblocking) logic with its auxiliary relays. The internal 5 V supply can be duplicated by inserting a second alarm interface G3HE. A duplication of the alarm outputs is also possible, where there is only one NSD 70C unit per rack. Trip counter G3HF (optional) The trip counter module contains two 2-digit counters for recording the number of transmitted and received commands. The display can be switched between two NSD 70C commands. The recorded counts remain intact in the event of a power supply failure. Depending on the operating mode, the relay outputs OPTION 3 and OPTION 4 are used as level or SNR- alarm outputs. Pocket-terminal (optional) The pocket-terminal in the format of a pocket calculator, enables to read information via the serial interface, such as: equipment settings, actual transmission time, operating status, firmware release and alarm messages. This takes place without any affect to the system's normal operation. Equipment rack G7BGa The rack can accommodate either one or two complete NSD 70C units. The rack and the different complements of units that can fit in are described in detail in Section 4. More detailed descriptions of the modules are given in Section 7.

The rack G7BGa is equipped with a wiring PCB type G1CY. It has space for two independent NSD 70C units or one NSD 70C with a maximum of four commands. When the two NSD 70C are used in a T-station, the corresponding signals are linked by jumper plugs on the backplate. The power supply for the two NSD 70C's can be derived in one of the following ways: A single unit supplies both NSD 70C's, i.e. one unit supplies the complete rack. Two units supply both NSD 70C's in parallel, i.e. the power supply is redundant. The left unit [N1] supplies equipment 1 and the right unit [N9] supplies equipment 2. Thus the use of two independent NSD 70C with a maximum of 3 commands each is possible in one rack. Two power supply units of any type may be combined in any way desired.

MECHANICAL FEATURES
Modules and assemblies
The NSD 70C modules are designed for Europe format PCB's of the K80 type having a height of 3U (133.4 mm) and a depth of 160 mm. Power supply units have a width of 8R (40.6 mm), the first one (SUPPLY) being located at position N1 and the second one at position N9. The DSP module is 4R (20.3 mm) wide and is inserted immediately next to the power supply units. All other modules have a width of 6R (30.5 mm). The frontplates of interface 1 type G3HC, interface 2 type G3HD, the alarm interface type G3HE and the trip counter type G3HF are displaced by 1R to the left to make room for a personnel safety guard for the higher station battery voltages on the soldered side of the PCB. The dimension drawing of the rack is given in Appendix I. To prevent modules from being placed in wrong rack positions, a mechanically coded assembly could be provided. In this case coded strips can be attached to the connectors of each module and matching strips have to be fixed at the connectors of the backplate (coding instruction HENF 331 068). Mechanically coded assembly is only available upon request.

External connections
Power supply The power supply is connected to FASTON (6.3 mm) terminals on the left-hand side of the rack. The upper terminals are those for the power supply unit 1 located at rack position N1 and the lower ones for power supply unit 2 at N9. All power supply units are DC isolated from earth and between primary and secondary.

DANGER

Unused faston connectors have to be covered. Faston connectors on the rack must be covered with an isolation sleeve. Cover for unused faston plug HESG455631P0001 Isolation sleeve for faston connector NBT 402942P0008

Caution

Where two power supply units having different primary voltages are installed, special attention must be paid that the wiring on the side plate is correct! If either the wiring or the units themselves are reversed, a power supply unit may suffer damage.

Switches S1 and S2 Separate ON/OFF switches are fitted on the rear of the rack for each NSD 70C, i.e. for each half of a tier, which interrupt the power supply voltages on the secondary side of the supply units. The primary station battery voltage is thus always switched on. Only the DSP-module, the data interface, the alarm module, the relays interfaces and the trip counter are switched off. Before withdrawing or inserting a power supply unit, the connections to the station battery or power supply must be interrupted.

Caution

Neither removing nor inserting of modules is permitted during power-up of the equipment. Proceeding to plug in and out of modules the power supply of the equipment has to be switched OFF.

There is a melting fuse (5 x 20 mm) in the primary circuit, which is located at the rear of each supply unit. The current rating of the fuse varies with model of power supply unit (see Technical Data in Section 6).

Signals The external signals are conducted by the cables V9LD and V9LE from the connectors on the backplate to isolating terminals. All the cables have plugs at the equipment end and isolating terminals for wire gauges up to 4 mm2 at the station wiring end. Cable V9LD has a length of 2500 mm and belongs to the analogue interface G3HB. It is used for connecting the analogue speech frequency signals and the power boosting signal and can only be inserted in connectors X2 and X8 on the backplate. Cable V9LE is also 2500 mm long and fits the connectors of modules G3HC, G3HD, G3HE and G3HF. It carries the tripping and alarm signals and goes to the appropriate connector X3, X4, X5, X6 or X9, X10, X11, X12 on the backplate.

DANGER

A mixed up or a wrong connected cable can get damage. If the cable V9LE is connected to a connector X2 or X8 then the interface G3HB can be destroyed.

A special screwdriver is available for the terminal blocks (see appendix A). The connectors X... on the backplate are clearly marked by screen printed labels. The cables are inserted in the lower half of the connectors, the upper half being used for the internal bus connections. The cables themselves are labelled at the isolator terminal end. The pin connections of both cables were chosen such, that should the plugs be exchanged by mistake (command/analogue signals), the equipment cannot be damaged.

NSD 70C
Utility Communication Systems Description of operation

4 switches for programming the equipment and the LED displays on the frontplate. The input/output buffers for communicating with the other modules are protected by series resistors and are short-circuit proof up to 24 V. The signal processor is monitored by a watchdog, which upon picking up instantaneously actuates a common alarm. Auxiliary alarm relays are to be found on the G3HE alarm interface and on each of the G3HC/D relay interfaces. The alarm relay contacts can be selected to be normally open (N/O) or normally closed (N/C). The input and output of characters via the diagnostic interface is performed by the UART unit and the RS-232 interface converter. As soon as UART receives a character, it informs the processor by means of a hardware interrupt. The processor reads the character via the 8 Bit bus and sends the first character of the text to be transferred to the UART. The UART requests more characters with further interrupts until the text to be transferred is complete. The A/D converter on the interface type G3HB converts the analogue signals received to a serial data format. These data are transferred to the processor via the lines FSR, DR and CLKR for further processing. The signals generated by the processor are transferred to the D/A converter via the lines FSX, DX and CLKX and thence to the AF interface G3HB for transmission. All signal processing, i.e. the generation of the signal for transmission and the filtering and evaluation of the received signal, is performed digitally using algorithms, which run as firmware in the signal processor. Setting the programming switches is explained in Section 10.

NSD 70C
Utility Communication Systems Description of operation

This description of operation serves for explaining the main functional blocks of the NSD 70C firmware. The partitioning of the functional blocks has been made regardless of the firmware modules. INITIALIZATION: This functional block reads the switch positions and calculates the various parameters and constants. It also initializes the serial interface (COM1) and the A/D converter. The block is activated after every reset. Should any failure occur during initialisation (RAMfailure, inadmissible switch positions), the initialization is repeated three times before branching to the MAIN-program. With no failure occurred, the branching to the MAINprogram follows directly. PROM/RAM test: Whilst the equipment is in operation, a test routine runs continuously which recalculates the PROM checksum and tests the write/read ability of the RAMs (provided that there was no calculation time overflow during the last pass of the MAIN-program). A checksum error results in a common alarm. The RAM test consists in writing different test patterns in every internal and external memory cell and reading them again. A failure of the test also causes an alarm. Information relating to the various alarms can be accessed using the special pocket-terminal or an XT or AT PC. Providing any failure there may be which does not concern the basic functions, the NSD 70C remains fully operational, i.e. it continues to operate normally in spite of the alarm. RECEIVER: The receiver detects the individual frequencies transmitted in the band selected. If neither a tripping signal, a guard signal nor a loop test signal is being received and if the power of the signal being received is more than 14 dB below its nominal level, an unblocking (deblocking) signal with a duration of 50 ms is generated. The duration of the unblocking signal is increased by the interface G3HE to 200 ms and then issued via potential-free contacts. The receiver block also includes the signal level and signal quality monitoring functions. A level alarm is given, if the guard signal is more than 6 dB respectively 12 dB (selected on the programming switches) above or below its nominal value. A signal-to-noise (SNR) ratio alarm is given, if the SNR of the guard signal deteriorates to the extent that a tripping signal might be lost. The pick-up level of the SNR alarm adjusts automatically to the settings made on the equipment. ALARM: The common alarm is registered by the DSP module, but does not have a direct influence on its operation. The alarms for signal-to-noise ratio, level, checksum, memory error, loop test failure, deblocking, continuous trip, single component failure at the transmitter, integration sum error and programming switch error are generated internally and issued. Programming switch S7 (5,6) enables a choice to be made between the command contacts opening, closing, not responding at all or retaining their last valid state immediately prior to the alarm in the event of a level or signal-to-noise ratio alarm.

NSD 70C
Utility Communication Systems Description of operation

For opening/closing the command contacts in case of an alarm, the alarm signal has to be uninterrupted active for 5 seconds. To reset the command contacts the alarm condition has to be removed for at least 5 seconds. The common alarm is kept active as long as the command contacts are influenced by the alarm. Level or signal-to-noise ratio alarms are given to the optional outputs OPT 3 and OPT 4 on trip counter G3HF, if this is possible in the corresponding operating mode. TRANSMITTER: The transmitter monitors the tripping signal inputs PTXA/B/C/D, OPT 1 and the TXGUARD signal (single component failure). Should only one of these signals remain active for longer than 1 s without a proper tripping signal being detected, a single component failure is signalled to the alarm block and the transmission of the tripping signal inhibited. In the T-operation mode, the input signal is looped to the output, if no genuine command is active locally. If a genuine tripping signal is received and a local command (TX) is active at the same time, the received signal is OR-combined with the locally active command. The thereof resulting transmitting signal is being generated, i.e. if the signal A is received in the teed station (RXA) and the command B (TXB) is active locally, the transmitter produces signal A&B. A TX command causes the power boost to be set active, the synthesizer to be programmed with the tripping signal frequency and its amplitude to be increased by the boost level, set on DIL switch S7 (7) and S7 (8). For transmitting a dual tone command (if a corresponding operating mode is programmed), a multiplex signal is transmitted which consists of the signal frequencies F1 and F2. The amplitude of both the two signal frequencies (F1 and F2) is only half as high as the amplitude of the single tone frequency; i.e. the amplitude of the single tone command and the composite amplitude of the dual tone command are equal, the power level of the single tone command is 3 dB higher. When transmitting a test signal, the boost signal will not be set active and the test signal will not be boosted. With the exception of operating mode 1, the test signal is always a dual tone signal. If neither a command is transmitted nor a loop test is in progress, the synthesizer is being programmed with the guard frequency. If the continuous trip monitoring is activated and a command is active for longer than 2.5 seconds, a common alarm is given and the guard signal is again transmitted instead of the tripping signal. The boost bit also is reset, i.e. the boost contact is opened. LOOP TEST: The loop test can be initiated either manually or automatically by an internal timer. Providing the automatic loop testing mode is not inhibited on programming DIL-switch S7(2), a test signal is transmitted to the opposite station and echoed back every 6 hours.

NSD 70C
Utility Communication Systems Description of operation

The test signal is transmitted and processed in the same way as an actual tripping signal. Thus all the internal functions needed to transmit a tripping signal are included in the test. Should a manually initiated test signal not be received, the alarm LED "AL" lights after about 3 seconds. The non-echo of an automatically initiated test signal results in the test being repeated at intervals of 5 minutes until there is either a response from the opposite station or 8 unsuccessful attempts have been carried out. In the later case an alarm is given. TERMINAL: Information on the settings of the teleprotection equipment and any alarms can be obtained via the serial interface on the front of the DSP module. The information can be accessed using either the optionally available pocket-terminal or a standard XT or AT PC with the PROTEC-Software. TEST MODE: This special test mode enables the relais interfaces and the DSP-module to be tested in a local closed-circuit loop. This facility can be used, for example, for checking the command prolongation time set on the relay interface. In the test mode, the tripping signals PTXA/B/C/D and OPT 1 are entered and relayed directly to the PRXA/B/C/D and OPT 3 outputs. The TX_GUARD signal is also monitored in the test mode (hardware check). In this mode the common alarm is continuously active. A signal which is received, will not be relayed to the relais interface but is recognized by the DSP module and the TRP-LED is set active. The guard signal is transmitted continuously during the test mode.

Figure 1-9 Block diagram G3HB The power supplies of +5 V and +24 V for the analogue interface come from the main supply unit (+24 V) and the auxiliary converter on the alarm interface (+5 V). The -5 V supply is derived from the +24 V supply on the analogue interface itself. On the analogue interface module are also two matching transformers for the transmission and receiver lines, which can be terminated with the aid of jumper plugs at either 600 Ohm or high-impedance (> 5 kOhm). In the transmission channel before the matching transformer are a D/A converter, a smoothing filter, a level adjuster and an output amplifier. The receiver channel comprises essentially an adjustable amplifier for setting the level followed by an anti-aliasing filter and an A/D converter with a 14 bit resolution. The digitized transmit and receive signals are transferred between the analogue interface G3HB and the DSP module G3HL via the two serial buses FSX, DX, CLKX and FSR, DR, CLKR. The setting of the sampling frequency of 18.478 kHz for the A/D and D/A converters is initialized by the processor. The frequency is derived from the 4.9152 MHz quartz oscillator. The interface clock frequency ICLK of 153.6 kHz for the DSP module G3HL and the relay interface G3HC/D is also obtained from the same oscillator .

NSD 70C
Utility Communication Systems Description of operation

In the T-operation mode (Section 8.6), the signals between the two NSD 70C's in the teed station are transposed between the terminals T-OUT1/2 and T-INP1/2 on the backplate of the rack. The internally generated -5 V supply and the transmitter signal level are monitored. In the event of a failure, the alarm status is signalled via the common alarm bus and the LED signals "AL" and "Tx LEVEL". The BOOST output emits a boost signal whilst a tripping signal is being processed. In this case, the potential-free opto-coupler output, a NPN transistor, becomes conducting. The BOOST output is in high-impedance state when the unit is quiescent.

Utility Communication Systems Description of operation

Relay interface 1 type G3HC contains the DC isolated input and output circuits for communicating with the protection. The input circuits can be set for the two voltage ranges 48 VDC to 110 VDC (switches at approx. 25 V) and 125 VDC to 250 VDC (switches at approx. 70 V). A correct transmission signal always comprises two anti-valent criteria, the TX_GUARD signal and the PTX tripping signal. This enables the processor on the DSP module G3HL to detect any failure of a single component (e.g. opto-coupler short-circuit or mal-operation of an IC) and give alarm and thus prevent the transmission of an incorrect tripping signal. Similarly, two anti-valent criteria are necessary when a tripping signal is being received, one of which is the discontinuation of the guard signal RX_GUARD, the other being the presence of a correct tripping signal PRX. Providing both are fulfilled, the semi-conductor interface (RX TRIP) and the auxiliary relay (AUX) are activated and the corresponding output contact closes. A timer with settings of 5, 20 or 100 ms for prolonging the command ensures a steady output signal, even if there are short interruptions of the signal being received. To maintain the security of the unit in the event of the failure of a single component, the receiver channel also includes a single component failure monitor. This picks up if only one of the criteria is fulfilled for longer than 3 seconds and blocks the main and auxiliary command outputs until a permissible relationship between the criteria is re-established. To protect the auxiliary contact from damage due to excessively high making currents or capacitive cable discharge currents, there is a resistor mounted on soldering posts in series with the contact. The main output is equipped with an overvoltage and reverse polarity protection and an internal current limiter. Alarms originated from the various monitors are signalled by the red LED "AL" on the frontplate, which is the common alarm for the assembly, and relayed via the connection COMMON ALARM to the DSP module. An auxiliary alarm relay, which can be selected to have either a N/O or N/C contact and has a adjustable pick-up time, signals the common alarm externally. A common alarm can also be signaled originating from other moduls to the relais interface. Even though the relais interface has no fault on itself. Received or transmitted commands are indicated by separate green LEDs.

Utility Communication Systems Applications

PART 2 APPLICATION AND SETTING INSTRUCTIONS


8. APPLICATIONS
NSD 70C can transmit permissive and direct transfer tripping signals, blocking signals and continuous tripping signals via all kinds of audio-frequency (AF) channels operating in a fully duplex mode. Some typical applications are described below with suggestions for parameter settings.

8.1.

Permissive tripping schemes


Permissive transfer tripping is used typically for the protection of transmission lines. The transfer tripping link between the protection equipment at the ends of the line ensures that all faults can be cleared in the time of the first zone along 100 % of the line. In a permissive scheme, the transfer tripping signal from the NSD 70C is connected in series with a local criterion (protection starting, directional decision or phase-selection) and tripping can only take place at the receiving end, if a transfer tripping signal is being received and the local protection relay detects a fault in the direction of the protected line. The reception of a spurious tripping signal caused by interference on the communications channel cannot therefore give rise on its own to unwanted tripping. On the other hand, a delayed transfer tripping signal may mean that a fault on the line is tripped in zone 2 time instead of undelayed in zone 1. High dependability and a short transmission time therefore take priority over high security in a permissive scheme. Typical requirements are transmission times of less than 20 ms and false signal rates under worst-case interference conditions of less than 10-3 (underreaching schemes) respectively 10-4 (overreaching schemes). Taking these constraints into account, a bandwidth not less than 480 Hz, corresponding to a 200 Baud data channel, should be chosen for the NSD 70C in a permissive protection scheme. The relay interface to be used in this case is the type G3HC. The following typical settings result: Bandwidth: at least 480 Hz Transmission time: step T02 (corresponding to Tev2) Security: step 1 for an underreaching (PUTT) scheme step 2 for an overreaching (POTT) scheme Interface type: G3HC Command prolongation: 20 ms Operating mode 1, 2 or 3 The corresponding switch positions and further programming instructions are to be found in Section 10.

8.2.

Direct transfer tripping


Typical applications for direct transfer tripping are breaker back-up protection, compensator protection and power transformer protection; line protection with direct transfer tripping would be an exception. The requirements with respect to transmission time are generally not too demanding for direct transfer tripping. In the case of direct transfer tripping, the tripping command from the teleprotection equipment goes directly to the circuit-breaker tripping coil. Thus a spurious tripping signal resulting either from interference or human error will cause unwanted, usually threephase tripping of the line and will block the operation of any auto-reclosure relay. For this reason, a spurious tripping signal should be avoided at all costs. A genuine transfer tripping signal, on the other hand, must on no account be lost whether there is interference on the communications channel or not, because then a line fault would not be isolated with correspondingly serious consequences. Extremely high security and high dependability are therefore more important than transmission time for direct transfer tripping. Transmission times of 30 to 50 ms are generally sufficient for direct transfer tripping. The NSD 70C channel with the narrowest band that just fulfils this requirement with adequate security and dependability is a 240 Hz channel. A channel with a broader band is to be preferred, should enough transmission bandwidth be available. The recommended choice of channel and typical settings for direct transfer tripping schemes are thus: Bandwidth: at least 240 Hz Transmission time: step T02 or even better T03 (corresponding to Tev2 or Tev3) Security: step 2 Interface type: G3HC or G3HD Command prolongation: at least 100 ms Command outputs: set to the quiescent state in case of an alarm Operating modes: 2 or 3 The corresponding switch positions and further programming instructions are to be found in Section 10.

8.3.

Blocking schemes
In a blocking scheme no tripping signals are transmitted along the faulted line. Instead the blocking schemes of all the surrounding healthy lines transmit signals to their remote ends to prevent tripping of the overreaching relays there. The protection equipment of a blocking scheme usually consists of distance relays with overreaching first zones measuring into the line and reverse-looking directional units. A through-fault is seen by the directional unit which sends a signal to block the distance relay on the healthy line. For a fault on the line, the reverse-looking directional units at the two ends do not send blocking signals and the overreaching first zones trip their respective circuit-breakers.

2-2

1KHW000370

Language: EN Edition: 2000-07-27

ABB Power Automation Ltd

NSD 70C
Utility Communication Systems Applications

A teleprotection equipment for a blocking scheme has to fulfil only modest security requirements. An incorrect signal (fault on the protected line) cannot prevent tripping, but only delay it. The loss or appreciable delay of the blocking signal for a fault in the overreach section of an adjacent line will, however, cause false tripping of the protected line. Since the overreaching first zones of the relays have to be delayed sufficiently long to allow time for a blocking signal to be received, a short transmission time for the blocking signal is essential. It follows from these considerations that a short transmission time and good dependability are more important than security. The following configuration and settings are recommended for a blocking line protection scheme: Bandwidth: at least 960 Hz Transmission time: step T01 (Tev1) for 1 command (operating mode 1) step T02 (Tev2) for 2 commands (op. mode 1, 2 or 3) Security: step 1, or step 2 if further commands are set for direct transfer tripping Relay interface: G3HC Command prolongation: Minimum value (5 ms) Operating mode: 1, 2 or 3 The corresponding switch positions and further programming instructions are to be found in Section 10.

8.4.

Unblocking
The alarm module type G3HE is equipped with two potential-free unblocking (deblocking) contacts. If a protection signal is severely attenuated as the consequence of a line fault (PLC), it may not be possible to transmit a tripping signal of adequate quality. In the absence of a transfer tripping signal, a distance relay would only trip in its 2nd time step. The purpose of the unblocking function is to avoid this delay. It does so by closing the unblocking contact of the NSD 70C for 200 ms in the event of loss of receiver signal, i.e. when the NSD 70C is receiving neither guard nor tripping signals. This "emergency" feature can be used in different ways: to switch the reach of the distance relay (underreaching/overreaching first zone) as an enabling signal of limited duration. This is used above all in the case of permissive overreaching schemes.

8.5.

Applications with several commands


In the case of NSD 70C is equipped with several commands, only the transmission time settings T02 and T03 are available per bandwidth, i.e. the shortest transmission time T01 may not be used. T01 is only permissible for NSD 70C's with a single command and operating mode 1, the other commands being ignored. The settings for channel bandwidth, the transmission time T02 or T03 and step 1 or step 2 for security/dependability preference apply to all commands, i.e. the transmission characteristics of all commands are identical. Where the commands are being used differently, e.g. signal A for permissive and signal B for direct transfer tripping, the bandwidth must be selected according to the transmission time requirements for the permissive scheme and the security must be set to step 2. A 1200 Hz channel with a time setting of T02, operating mode 2 and a security step 2 achieves a typical transmission time of 11 ms and a maximum false tripping rate at the worst possible signal-to-noise ratio of less than 10-6. Successful signal transmission requires a signal-to-noise ratio of at least about 11 dB. The transmission time would increase to about 19 ms, if the time step T03 were selected for the same bandwidth. In contrast, the false signal rate for signal noise interference then reduces to values below 10-10 and the minimum permissible signal-to-noise ratio for reliable transmission to about 5 dB. This example also illustrates the influence of transmission time T0 on security and dependability. Operating mode 1 covers the applications of NSD 70, with the exception of special version NSD 72 (refer to operating instructions NSD 70, HENF 91191). Operating mode 2 enables for the configuration of two permissive (A, B) and one direct transfer tripping signals (C). In this case the direct command has priority over the permissive commands. Operating mode 3 with a maximum of up to four commands is suitable for phasesegregated protection of 3-phase-lines (A, B, C). In the event of a multiple phase fault, the fourth command (D) is used for tripping of all phases.

8.6.

Teed lines
A signal transmitted by one of the stations on a line having one or several teed terminals must be received by all the others. The NSD 70C system enables this to be achieved without every terminal station having to have an individual connection to every other station. The diagram below shows the arrangement for a line with three terminals. Standard NSD 70C's are installed in the three stations A, B and T, but whilst in stations A and B only one unit is installed, two NSD 70C's in a single rack type G7BGa are installed in the teed station. Corresponding settings on the programming switches in the teed station switch the signals from the receiver through to its own transmitter. The necessary AF connections are made at the rear of the rack. The command inputs and outputs of the two NSD 70C's have to be connected in parallel at the isolating terminal. In the quiescent state, only the two outer stations A and B are transmitting guard signals, which are looped through the teed station and therein evaluated simultaneously. The same applies to a command originating from either A or B. A command at T is transmitted

by the two transmitters to terminals A and B. The commands sent by T are received at A and B instead of the guard signals from the opposite end of the line. When a command is received in the teed station and a local command (TX) is active at the same time, the combined tripping signal will be generated, regarding the priority rules, and transferred to the opposite station. A loop test may be initiated at any of the stations. The test signal is relayed through all the stations on the line and thus tests the complete system. In T-operation mode it is not permissible for receiver and transmitter to operate with different bandwidth, as it is permissible for end to end operation. T-operation is possible with operating modes 1 and 2 only! (with mode 3 one NSD 70C requires the whole rack).

Parallel operation
Several NSD 70C's can be operated in parallel in a frequency multiplexing mode with a four-wire connection. An AF channel can thus be used simultaneously in different systems for different purposes. Since this, however, reduces the bandwidth available for each NSD 70C, the transmission time becomes correspondingly longer. Parallel operation does not require any gaps between the frequencies, i.e. the various channels can be immediately adjacent to each other. Where several NSD 70C's of differing bandwidths are connected in parallel, it is advisable to select the transmission level (signal power) proportional to the bandwidth. This results

in identical signal-to-noise ratios in the remote receivers. The relationship (rounded to 3 dB steps) between the levels is given in the following table: Bandwidth 2400 Hz 1200 Hz 960 Hz 480 Hz 360 Hz 240 Hz 120 Hz Relative level 0 dBm0 - 3 dBm0 - 6 dBm0 - 9 dBm0 - 9 dBm0 - 12 dBm0 - 15 dBm0

Attention must be paid to correct termination of the lines when operating in parallel. Only one unit may be set to an input impedance of 600 Ohm, whilst the others must be set to high-impedance. The input impedance is programmed on the analogue interface module type G3HB, see Section 10.2. The summed voltage of the transmitters operating in parallel must not exceed 3.5 Vpeak to avoid any risk of the transmitters driving each other into saturation.

8.8.

2- and 4-wire operation


4-wire operation is recommended.

Caution

T-operation is only possible over 4-wire lines

2-wire operation without a hybrid and frequency gaps is possible with some constraints for one unit per pair of cores. However, the following must be observed: Transmitter and receiver must have separate frequency bands, but a frequency gap between them is not necessary. The pick-up of the level alarm of the NSD 70C receiver must be set to 12 dB. The receiver level of the guard signal at the measuring sockets marked Rx AF (G3HB) must be adjusted to -12 dBu (i.e. 6 dB lower than the normal value for 4-wire operation). The resulting reserve of level before an alarm is given is then 6 dB. The line attenuation must be less than 12 dB. For higher levels of line attenuation in 2-wire operating mode the receiver and the transmitter have to be separated by a hybrid. The cable attenuation which can be tolerated then increases in proportion to the transhybrid loss by typically 15...20 dB. In spite of the use of a hybrid, it is not permissible for transmitter and receiver to operate on the same frequency.

With operating mode 3 in use up to four dual tone commands can be transmitted, whereby command D has priority over A, B and C. When two or more commands are active at the same time (A&B, A&C, B&C or A&B&C) command D is being transmitted. For operating mode 3 the following restrictions are to be considered: Tev1 is not possible; teed lines operation is not possible; in the event of level and signal-to-noise ratio alarm only the OPTION 4 output on the trip counter G3HF on the left half rack can respond. the gain distortion of the communications channel must be < 3 dB within the chosen bandwidth.

9.3.

Channel selection
In the case of the NSD 70C, channel selection means the choice of transmission bandwidth and channel centre frequency. Being able to select the transmission bandwidth and to set the channel centre frequency in steps of 60 Hz permits the best use to be made of any "frequency gaps" there may be. The choice of bandwidth is mainly influenced by two factors: desired command transmission time the free bands available when a communications channel is used for several purposes. The bandwidth is usually based on the first criterion and can be chosen with the aid of Table 1 in Section 6.1. The bandwidths given are overall values, which apply equally to NSD 70C's with one or with several commands. A good compromise between bandwidth, transmission time, security and dependability is provided by channels 480 Hz and 960 Hz wide, which are suitable for most applications. Where shorter transmission times are desired, wider channels may be selected without encountering difficulty and without diminishing the security against false tripping signals. 60 Hz steps for selecting the channel centre frequency enable the ideal frequency to be chosen for the particular case. In the case of a bandlimited carrier channel of a multiplex equipment for example, the NSD 70C centre frequency should be close to the centre of the carrier channel, because the group delay is lowest there. In the frequency multiplexing mode, i.e. when several NSD 70C's share a common communications channel, the centre frequencies must be chosen such that there is no overlapping of the frequencies of neighbouring NSD 70C channels. A gap between channel frequencies is not necessary, providing the overall bandwidth complies with Table 1 in Section 6.1. The instructions in Section 8.8. must be observed for 2-wire operation.

9.4.

Command transmission time


From Table 1 in Section 6.1 it can be seen that there are three transmission time settings T01, T02 and T03 available for each bandwidth, corresponding to the internal signal evaluation times Tev1, Tev2 and Tev3. The choice, however, is limited to steps T02 and T03 in the case of NSD 70C's equipped for two or more commands or NSD 70C's programmed for operating modes 2 or 3. If Tev1 is selected, then only one command can be transmitted with the NSD 70C. Since a longer transmission time enhances the robustness of the transmission (security and dependability), the transmission time should not be choosen shorter than really required by the application.

Remarks on transmission time The nominal transmission time T0 is the time elapsed from the initiating of the command input of the teleprotection transmitter until the teleprotection receiver has given an output, measured under noise-free conditions. The measurement is carried out with the transmitter and receiver connected back-to-back via the AF terminals. The nominal transmission time T0 is composed of three terms: T0 = TI/O + Tg + Tev TI/O Tg Tev Switching times of the relay interfaces at the transmitting and receiving end, TI/O approx. 1 ms for interface type G3HC or approx. 8 ms for G3HD. NSD 70C channel delay (group delay of the filters), which depends on the channel bandwidth. Signal evaluation time in the NSD 70C receiver. It can be selected in three steps for each bandwidth.

In order to estimate the actual transmission time Tac in practical applications, the delay introduced by the communications channel (cable, microwave, PLC) must be added to the nominal transmission time. Severe disturbances on the transmission path may occasionally introduce an additional delay of a few milliseconds.

9.5.

Security and dependability


By security is understood the property of the receiver not to generate spurious tripping signals in the presence of interference on the communications channel. Dependability characterises the receiver's ability to recognize a genuine tripping signal within a given time in spite of interference on the communications channel. It is obvious that to demand maximum security at the same time as maximum dependability is contradictory and one can only be increased at the expense of the other. The NSD 70C provides facility to exchange security against dependability in two steps for each bandwidth and transmission time. In the following table, security is expressed as the "worst case" false signal rate (Puc) for blocks of noise of 200 ms duration. "Worst case" is defined as the level of interference at which the guard signal is completely suppressed. Levels of security are virtually independent of the NSD 70C bandwidth chosen. Dependability is expressed as the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for a bandwidth of 4 kHz, which must be maintained during the transmission of a tripping signal to enable it to be received within 1.3 times the nominal transmission time (probability of missing a command Pmc < 1%). Dependability varies with bandwidth. The dB values in the table below apply for the NSD 70C channel with a bandwidth of 960 Hz. In channels other than 960 Hz the signal-to-noise ratio will differ in accordance with the chosen bandwidth.

The measuring procedures are described in Appendix E. In operating mode 1 interference with the guard signal by an alien single tone, which matches exactly one of the trip frequencies, could generate a false command, if the level of the interference signal is significantly higher than the guard signal level. The security against single tone interference depends on how the command outputs are programmed to respond in case of an alarm state (in operating mode 1). This is defined by the programming switch S7(5, 6), refer to section 9.7. and 10.1. Should alien single tone interference appear, select operating modes 2 or 3. This setting prevents an unintended tripping by a sinus-tone.

9.6.

Transmitting level and power boosting


A choice can be made using a jumper plug between a transmitting level determined by a resistor on soldering posts and a transmitting level which can be set on a potentiometer (Section 10.2). When the communications channel is by rented Post Office line, any national regulations with respect to the transmitting levels of the guard signal and the brief tripping signal must be observed. In the case of the NSD 70C, the power of the tripping signal can be boosted in relation to the guard signal. This is generally what is meant by power boosting. The ratio between the boosted tripping signal and the guard signal is referred to as boost ratio and usually expressed in dB. Programming switches on G3HL enable the power boost to be set to 3, 6 or 9 dB. The maximum output level with power boosting, however, must not exceed +11 dBm! Boosting the power of the tripping signal is used primarily in two cases: when using Post Office lines for which regulations permit only a low-power guard signal, but a higher tripping signal level of short duration. in a multi-purpose system, where the teleprotection equipment is sharing an AF channel in parallel with speech or data transmission in a frequency multiplexing mode. This is typical with PLC (power line carrier). In this case, any speech and any modem signal superimposed on it are switched off whilst tripping signals are being transmitted

so that the total PLC transmitter power is available to the NSD 70C. This ensures the best possible signal-to-noise ratio at the NSD 70C receiver. The maximum boost ratio which can be achieved depends on which other PLC signals can be switched off during the transmission of a tripping signal. The suppression of these other signals is initiated by the power boost criterion output ("BOOST") on the NSD 70C, which is a potential-free NPN transistor on the module G3HB, non-conducting in the quiescent state and conducting during a tripping signal. Notes on the operation of the NSD 70C with the PLC equipment type ETL The standard connection of the NSD 70C to the ETL is via a special interface on the ETL for teleprotection equipment. The relative system level at this interface is -10 dBr. For simplicity, the transmitter level of all NSD 70C channels should be -16 dBm, which means that the NSD 70C modulates the PLC channel at -6 dBm0. The NSD 70C boost signal output must be connected to the boost signal input of the ETL. The voltage supply for the signal is provided by the ETL. If both equipments are in the same cabinet, the external connections between NSD 70C and ETL could be realized by the special connecting cable type V9LW. Since the power boost ratio depends on which facilities are using the PLC channel, the ratio should not be set on the NSD 70C in this case, but on the PLC equipment according to how its channels are used. Further information on power boosting is to be found in operating instructions (HENF 91 151) for the PLC equipment type ETL. Centre frequency and bandwidth should be programmed as recommended by ETL operating instructions (HENF 91 151). In principle all operating modes may be selected when using the NSD 70C with the PLC equipment. If only two commands for permissive tripping are required, operating mode 1 is recommended (independent from the gain distortion of the communications channel and higher dependability, as the signal-to-noise ratio with a single tone command is better than with a dual tone command). With operating mode 2 or 3 selected for the use with the PLC equipment, the gain distortion of the communications channel must not vary more than 3 dB within the bandwidth programmed.

Statuses of the command outputs during an alarm


The response of the command outputs to a level or signal-to-noise ratio alarm can be set by the user on programming switches. The following settings are possible: The command outputs are set to their quiescent states (= no tripping signal). The command outputs are set to their tripped states. The command outputs correspond to the current status of tripping signal processing, i.e. they do not respond at all to the alarm. The command outputs retain the statuses they had immediately prior to the alarm. These settings apply to all signals in the case of units equipped for several commands.

Alternative supplies: Redundant supply The two power supply units can be connected in parallel by inserting the jumper plug WA. Since a supply unit has the capacity for a complete rack, a redundant supply is thus possible. Separate supplies for left and right half racks When jumper plug WY is inserted, the right half of the rack is supplied by supply unit 1 (and supply unit 2 in the case of redundant supplies). Jumper plug WD must be inserted, where it is desired that the left and right half racks should be supplied independently by supply units 1 and 2 respectively. Jumper plug WBC connects the SUPPLY-MON 2 and SUPPLY-MON 1 signals together, so that the SUPPLY-MON 2 signal is monitored by the alarm interface for the right half of the rack as well. Power supply supervision: To ensure that the power supply for the 2nd. equipment is properly monitored, the SUPPLY-MON 1 and SUPPLY-MON 2 signals must be connected to the right half of the rack by appropriately positioning the jumper plugs WB and WC or WBC. The T-operation mode requires that the corresponding jumper plugs are inserted and the programming switch S7(4) on the DSP module be set to "ON".

TESTING AND COMMISSIONING


Safety instructions
It is extremely important to follow the following safety instructions to avoid serious personnel injury or damage to the equipment.

DANGER

The Operating Instructions should be read and clearly understood before

performing re-programming, maintenance etc. and only an authorised and properly trained person is admitted to do the same. In order to avoid the risk of damage during transport the precautions laid down in section 11.1 must be observed. Cubicles, which are not secured to the floor, tip forwards when the hinged frame is opened. Mechanical safety facilities such as cover plates must not be removed or bypassed. Precautions and indications to hazardous voltages must be strictly observed. The power supply voltage must correspond with the rating label and the power supply unit. Before switching ON for the first time, check for proper setting of jumpers and fuses. In addition check the wiring of protective earth, power supply polarity and voltage. Neither removing nor inserting of modules is permitted during power-up state of the equipment. Preceding to plugging in and out of modules the power supply has to be switched off. All circuit breaker must be opened in case of redundant power supply. Dangerous station battery voltages may be present on the relay and alarm interfaces types G3HC, G3HD, G3HE and G3HF. For this reason, maintenance and commissioning may only be performed by correspondingly trained personnel. The modules G3HC/D/E/F must not be operated via extender cards, because of the danger of contact with the station battery voltage ! The modules in this equipment contain CMOS devices, which can be damaged by electrostatic discharges. Essential precautions to prevent ESD damage when handling or working on modules are grounding straps for technical personnel and the provision of anti-static work benches. Modules may only be shipped either in their original packing or installed in equipment racks. Alteration of the equipment is not allowed.

The teleprotection equipment NSD 70C must be programmed in accordance with the Programming Instructions given in Appendix F. It must be tested and commissioned in accordance with the instructions given in Appendices G and H.

Testing facilities
Test sockets There is a test socket each for the receiver and transmitter signals on the frontplate of the analogue interface G3HB. The receiver signal at the "Rx AF" test socket is a wide band signal (300 Hz to 4 kHz). The NSD 70C tripping signal can be checked at the "Tx AF" test socket. The measurements must be carried out at high-impedance (> 5 kOhm). The test sockets "+24V" and "+5V" on G3HE serve for checking the stabilized DC supply voltages. Frontplate Signals Three green LEDs "RDY", "GRD" and "TRP" on the DSP-module G3HL show the operating status of the unit and an alarm condition is signalled by the three red LEDs "AL", "LEV" and "SNR" (section 3.6.). Equipment settings and any alarms can be viewed by connecting the special "TELEPROTECTION TERMINAL" or a XT or AT PC (using the PC-software PROTEC, especially developed for this purpose) to the serial interface provided (see Section 13.1.1.).

Note:

Is the NSD 70C correctly plugged to the mains (Battery or AC) and only the LED on the power supply module is on, then the switches S1 and S2 on the backplate (behind the cover but accessible from the top) are in the off position.

Loop test When in operation, the unit can be tested with the aid of the loop test. The signal of this test has the same characteristics (security and dependability) as the NSD 70C tripping signals. The loop test can be initiated either manually by pressing a button on the frontplate, or automatically every 6 hours by an internal timer. Local test mode The DSP module can be set to a local operating mode for checking the relay interfaces, e.g. for setting or measuring command prolongation. In this operating mode, which is indicated by the LED "AL" and by the alarm message "LOCAL TEST MODE" via the serial interface, the command input signal is looped back by the processor to the own command output. A main switch is provided at the rear of the rack for each of the two NSD 70C units. One unit can thus be switched out of operation and the other left in.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE


Operation
During operation the status of the equipment can be seen from the LED signals on the frontplates of the individual modules, respectively by viewing messages via the serial interface on the DSP module. In the quiescent state only the LEDs "RDY" and "GRD" on the DSP module are lit and checking for messages via the serial interface produces the response "NO ALARM". An inadmissible operating condition is signalled by the red LED "AL" on the front of the unit concerned and the nature of the alarm can be queried via the serial interface.

Note:

Is the NSD 70C correctly plugged to the mains (Battery or AC) and only the LED on the power supply module is on, then the switches S1 and S2 on the backplate (behind the cover but accessible from the top) are in the off position.

13.1.1. Terminal messages In addition, the following information can be "TELEPROTECTION TERMINAL" or an XT or AT PC: Key [ERR] [SW] [FREQ] [BW] [TEV] [ALPHA] [SNR] [LEV] [OT] [CHKS] [VERS] [OPT1] [OPT2] ...

If a message ends with dots ... at the end of the displayed line, then more information is available after pressing the calling key again. Remark on viewing the alarm messages: Operating the [ERR] key only presents one alarm at a time. If there are several alarms the [ERR] key must be pressed repeatedly until the first alarm message appears again.

13.2.

Maintenance
The individual modules were subjected to a "burn-in" test at the conclusion of manufacture, followed by a thorough functional testing. The parameters governing the operating characteristics are all determined by the DIL switches S4 to S7 on the DSP module and are thus not subject to ageing. The processor includes a number of self-monitoring functions, which together with the loop test performed at periodic intervals, continuously check the operation of the DSP module and the AF interface and the availability of the communications channel as a whole. Nevertheless, it is recommended to test the equipment at regular intervals. The duration of such intervals depends very much on local conditions, but should not exceed two years.

13.2.1. Periodic tests a) Checks during operation The ability of the equipment to function correctly can be checked by manually initiating the loop test by pressing the button "TST" on the front of the DSP module type G3HL. Providing the signal transmitted by the test is received back again within the allotted time, the LEDs "RDY", "TRP" and "GRD" light for about 3 s to confirm that the test was successful. If not, the alarm signal "AL" lights for about 3 s instead of the LED "TRP". Should the equipment fail the loop test in two consecutive attempts, it must be removed from service and checked according to b) below. The transmitting and receiving levels shall be checked at the test sockets on the module G3HB after completing the loop test. Readjustment is unnecessary, providing the receiver level does not vary by more than 3 dB from its nominal value. If the discrepancy is greater, the transmitter level at the opposite station and the attenuation of the communications channel should be checked before readjusting the receiver.

Caution

During routine tests with the NSD 70C in operation the "Reset" button on the G3HL should not be pressed, as this causes the NSD 70C to be reinitialized and thus be blocked for approx. 10 seconds. During this time no commands can be transmitted.

b) Removing the equipment from service for testing of the relay interfaces 1. All circuit breakers must be opened in case of redundant power supply. 2. Open all isolating terminals to the protection and switch off the equipment afterwards. 3. Check the buffer battery for the trip counter on G3HF (U > 3.0 V) and replace as necessary (see 13.2.2). 4. Set switch S5(8) on the DSP module G3HL to "ON" (local test mode). 5. Switch on the NSD 70C and press the reset button "RES" on the front of the G3HL module.

6.

Check that the unit is indeed in the local test mode (corresponding alarm message on the pocket-terminal). 7. Inject commands at the local terminal blocks and check the local command outputs for correct operation. (Note: The trip counters on G3HF, if fitted, will count the local commands as well!) 8. Switch off the NSD 70C and reset the local test mode by setting switch S5(8) on G3HL to "OFF". 9. Switch on the NSD 70C and carry out the manual loop test according to a) above. 10. The isolating terminals to the protection relay may be closed again, providing there is no alarm. 11. Where trip counters G3HF are fitted, synchronize them in the local and in the remote station by resetting them (press button "RESET" on G3HF). c) Checking the entire link Following any changes made to the NSD 70C equipment or other components of the communications channel, it is recommended to repeat the commissioning procedure described in Appendix H of these operating instructions for the units at both ends of the line. Replace any modules found to be faulty. It is not recommended to carry out any repairs on site. 13.2.2. Replacing the buffer battery

DANGER

Danger of explosion exists if the lithium battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. For replacing and inserting the battery use always a potentially-free soldering iron. Check the polarity before inserting the battery.

DANGER

Caution

For disposal, the regional and national regulations for electrical and electronic waste have to be observed.

The lithium buffer battery in the module G3HF is able to retain the counter information for at least 500 hours. To avoid this time being exceeded during the normal life of the battery (typically 10 years), it is advisable to disconnect the battery by inserting the jumper plug FB, if the equipment is to remain out of service for a long period or when the module is on stock.

ESD protection

Caution ESD

The modules in this equipment contain devices, which can be damaged by electrostatic discharges. Appropriate measures must be taken before unpacking modules or withdrawing them from equipment racks. Essential precautions to prevent ESD damage when handling or working on modules are grounding straps for technical personnel and the provision of anti-static workbenches. Modules may only be shipped either in their original packing or installed in equipment racks.

14.2

Storage
The specified conditions for storage are 30C to 70C with < 70 % humidity. Storage of the cubicle should be done in the original wooden casing and unbroken sealed plastic cover. In case storage is to be done for longer periods of time, additional protection against rusting is required especially in humid climate. Storage of modules should be preferably in the original packing or in antistatic bags with additional mechanical protection.

14.3

Decommissioning
The decommissioning of the equipment should be done in the following steps. First of all the application, in which the equipment is used, must be disabled. This is of special importance when protection signalling is used. Switch OFF the equipment (Switch S1 and S2 OFF. See section 5.2). Isolate and disconnect the external power supply given to the equipment. Disconnect the external wiring of the equipment. This should be done carefully using the plant drawings so that some other wiring does not get disconnected by mistake. In case the complete cubicle is to be dismounted, the bolts for fastening the cubicle to the base frame or floor must be carefully removed giving support to the cubicle at the same time. The cubicle can now be lifted and dismounted. It is preferable to keep the cubicle in horizontal position if no external support can be given to the cubicle in vertical position. In case only the NSD 70C subrack is to be removed from the cubicle, first disconnect the internal wiring and power supply between the NSD 70C subrack and the terminal blocks. Now dismount the subrack by unscrewing the screws from the front. If the NSD 70C subrack or its modules are to be reused, they should be handled and packed properly following precautions for ESD protection.

14.4

Disposal
For disposal, the regional and national regulations for electrical and electronic waste have to be observed. The modularity of the equipment allows to separate component boards and casing, thus giving the opportunity for recycling.

DEPENDABILITY AND SECURITY MEASUREMENTS


All dependability and security measurements were performed according to the procedures prescribed in IEC60834-1. Dependability measurements: command duration duration of pause noise bandwidth continuous noise 50 ms or 3 * T0 1s 4 kHz

Dependability is determined by sending a large number of commands to the remote station. The number of commands transmitted and the number of commands received within a specified time (normally 1.3*T0, 1.5*T0 and 2*T0) are recorded. The lower the signal-to-noise ratio at the input of the receiving NSD 70C, the fewer the commands which will be received in the prescribed time. The following applies for a sufficiently high number of transmitted commands: Pmc = (NT - NR) / NT Pmc = probability of missing a command NT = No. of commands transmitted NR = No. of commands received Security measurements: noise burst duration of pause noise bandwidth 200 ms 1s 4 kHz

Security is determined by coupling bursts of noise (white noise) of high amplitude into the communications channel. The number of bursts transmitted and the number of false commands they cause at the receiving end are counted. The security is then calculated according to the following relationship: Puc = Nuc/NB Puc = probability of an unwanted command Nuc = No. of unwanted commands received NB = No. of noise bursts

Safety Instructions

DANGER
Caution

Check the wiring of protective earth to the equipment.

Check power supply polarity and voltage.

DANGER

48 VDC and higher battery voltages are hazardous. Beware of electric shock. Do not make any installation under energized condition.

Measurements
Preparations - Switch off the battery supply and insert the NSD 70C units in the rack. - Connect the two units under test: AF terminals back-to-back or via the communication channel (e. g. PLC equipment ETL). - Switch on the auxiliary supply. - Adjust DC source for command injection: for Ubatt = 48 V...110 V: U0 = 48 V for Ubatt = 125 V...250 V: U0 = 100 V Remarks for T-operation To check a link in T-operation the way to do the measurements is as follows: - Adjust transmitter and receiver level: a) Adjust transmitter level at both outer stations of the T-ed line b) Adjust receiver level at both equipment in the T-station c) Adjust transmitter level at both equipment in the T-station d) Adjust transmitter level at both outer stations of the T-ed line Measure the transmission time and command prolongation: The T-ed-configuration has to be regarded as two individual links (outer station A <-> T-station and outer station B <-> T-station). The transmission time and the command prolongation can now be measured as in case of a standard link. Pay attention to the fact, that in the T-station the command inputs and outputs have to be connected in parallel at the isolating terminals. Measure the transmission time from outer station A to outer station B according to 6.9. of this testing instruction. 1. 1.1 Auxiliary supply voltages G3HE (P14-P12) "24 V" G3HE (P14-P13) " 5 V" [ 24.0 1.0 VDC ] [ 5.0 0.2 VDC ] [ ] [ ]

The received and transmitted trip counters on the module G3HF (if fitted) can be checked simultaneously. I0 = [ 3.5...5.0 ] mA [ ]

6.

Transmission time and command prolongation Reset the trip counters to 0: press button "RESET" (P14) on G3HF. Transmit at least 5 commands as follows: Input voltage = U0 (command) for approx. 100 ms 0 V (pause between commands) for approx. 1 s Measure the transmission time and command prolongation (trip extension). Notes: Using the protection interface type G3HD instead of G3HC causes a 5 ... 8 ms longer transmission time. The auxiliary output (AUX) of the interface G3HC can have an additional delay of up to 2.5 ms compared with the main command output. In case the NSD 70C terminals are not connected back-to-back the delay of the communication link (e. g. PLC type ETL) must be added to the nominal transmission time T0. The tolerance to be used for command prolongation is: upper limit: Th + (30% of Th ) + (15% of T0) lower limit: Th - (30% of Th ) - (15% of T0) Take at least 3 ms for (15% of T0) into account.

Measurements
Preparations - Switch off the auxiliary supplies at the main switches at the rear of the rack. - Switch on the stand-by battery for the trip counters on G3HF (insert jumper plug FA). - Insert all the NSD 70C units into the rack. - Open the isolating terminals in local and remote station. - Loop the command outputs (RX TRIP A, RX TRIP B, RX TRIP C, RX TRIP D) to the command inputs (TX TRIP A, TX TRIP B, TX TRIP C, TX TRIP D) in the remote station using the station battery or similar source as auxiliary supply. - Switch on the equipment. Remarks for T-operation - Adjust transmitter and receiver level: a) Adjust transmitter level at both outer stations of the T-ed lines b) Adjust receiver level at both equipment in the T-station c) Adjust transmitter level at both equipment in the T-station d) Adjust transmitter level at both outer stations of the T-ed lines - Measure the transmission time T-station to outer station: The T-ed-configuration has to be regarded as two individual links (outer station A <-> T-station and outer station B <-> T-station). The transmission time can now be measured as in case of a standard link. Loop the command outputs to the command inputs in both outer stations using the station battery or similar source as auxiliary supply. Pay attention to the fact, that in the T-station the command inputs and outputs have to be connected in parallel at the isolating terminals. - Measure the transmission time from the outer station A to the outer station B according to 3.6 of this commissioning instruction.
