Smart earth leakage protection

The "protection" and "continuity" of the electrical power supply are two terms that must not be separated if we wish to guarantee the safety of users and electrical installations. The recent addition of receivers or loads that generate distortion in the electricity grid (speed variators, electronic startup units, computer equipment, lighting with electronic ballasts, etc.) has made necessary the use of protection systems that can distinguish between defects in the installation and the electrical alterations that cause the unwanted tripping of protection systems. The new range of earth leakage protection products offers state-of-the-art performance to guarantee the continuity and safety requirements:
}} Monitoring in true root mean square. }} High frequency filtering }} Inverse curve delay (instantaneous

and selective) }} Adjustment of the nominal sensitivity trigger }} Display of the fault current (monitoring of protection systems) Monitoring the status of protections allows us to do the following in the electrical installation:

Industrial earth leakage protection

Definition
When the earth leakage protection system detects a fault current, it acts on the electrical installation being protected, opening the circuit while interrupting the supply of electrical energy, thus preventing the danger of electrocution for persons when the fault current reaches dangerous values, either as a result of direct or indirect contact, including any potential damage caused to goods and materials. An earth leakage protection system is composed of three clearly different parts:
}} Detecting element or sensor }} Relay }} Circuit breaker

ceived by the sensor and either sends the trigger signal to the associated circuit breaker or not, depending on the sensitivity and delay time values programmed. Circuit breaker: This element acts as the current interrupting element. It can be a circuit breaker (with trigger coil), a contact, etc. These three elements can be found in CIRCUTOR's products with different configurations:
}} All elements separately }} Relay with internal transformer

Detecting element or sensor: Current transformer that detects the earth leakage current of active conductors in an installation, sending a proportional signal to the relay. It can have a toroidal or rectangular geometry, depending on the arrangement of plates or the wiring of the installation location. The correct operation of the sensor requires the path of capacitors to be as perfectly aligned as possible. Relay: Smart protection element. It measures and treats the signal re-

Immunised earth leakage protection

Nowadays, "sympathy" or unwanted triggers are quite common in modern installations. In these cases, one or more earth leakage switches are triggered simultaneously, protecting an installation from the leakage currents sent to earth as a result of capacitive effects caused by the installation. Said capacitive effects can explained by two reasons:
}} The installation's cables cause earthing condensation effects. The longer the cable, the greater the capacity effect }} The capacitors of EMI filters in the equipment with electronic power regulation

The different loads or consumption of an installation can be classified in two main groups, depending on the type of insulation from earth:

Loads with no earthed capacitors

The insulation existing between the unit and the earthing elements can be represented with a pure Ohmic resistance. If the resistance is not high enough, no current will pass through the earthing elements. The leakage current is zero (current passing to earth under normal conditions). In case there is an insulation fault, current will pass through earthing elements, the so-called fault earthed current, Id.

P1/2-4

Industrial earth leakage protection

In this case, we must simply adjust the sensitivity and delay time to guarantee the adequate protection.

Loads with earthed capacitors

The current passes through the earthing elements as a result of the unit's operations through its capacitors. In addition, the length of cables in an electrical installation can lead to capacitive earthing faults, which would lead to this situation. The current can be injected with two methods: Permanent Leakages. The unit injects current in the earthing elements permanently. This type of behaviour is closely tied to the use of EMI filters, which are installed in most machines or loads with electronic power regulation, in order to comply with the electromagnetic compatibility directives. This type of filter prevents the high frequency distortion generated by the receiver from being returned to the grid. However, it is transferred through the earthing capacitors. It also transfers indirectly the fundamental frequency and

its corresponding harmonics, so that the leakage is usually a set of overlapping high and low frequency signals. Therefore, it increases the risk of an earth leakage trip with no real earth leakage current. Transient Leakages. It has the same capacitive effects of cables and the filters mentioned above for transient overvoltages caused by grid switching effects, the connection-disconnection of circuits or effects that are simply caused by atmospheric agents. In case of loads with earthed capacitors, the basic problem for the protection of the system is to distinguish which earthed current is part of the unit's operation and which is part of an insulation defect. Electromechanical earth leakage relays do not usually solve these situations.

The immunised earth leakage protection offered by CIRCUTOR has evolved in relation to five factors, in order to satisfy the needs of our customers, catering for the current demand as regards the safety and continuity of the supply of electricity:
}} MEASUREMENT IN TRUE ROOT MEAN SQUARE (TRMS) AND CLASS A }} IMMUNE TO TRANSIENT LEAKAGES }} HIGH FREQUENCY FILTERING }} ADJUSTMENT OF THE TRIGGER OF In }} INVERSE CURVE

P1/2-5

Industrial earth leakage protection

Measurement in TRMS and Class A

The voltage and current wave shapes have stopped being complete sine waves since the loads distributed in the installations are not linear. The continuous and harmonic components can distort the wave shapes, whereby it will be necessary to take more accurate measurements. The current range of electronic earth leakage switches measures the rootmean-square-value (TRMS) of leakage currents by sampling it. The wave shapes in installations with linear resistive loads are pure sinewaves. However, the figure shows how the mean value will not work to measure the root-mean-square-value with accuracy when it stops being a complete sine-wave. In accordance with these problems, the IEC 61008-1 Earth Leakage Switch Standard determines the types of operation, depending on the type of wave. Two types are defined, Class AC and Class A. CLASS AC The earth leakage devices used in domestic installations or that protect loads that do not cause distortions can be of the AC Type. These devices are marked with a symbol, in compliance with the IEC 61008-1 Standard.

CLASS A In the presence of non-linear receivers, Type A earth leakage protection systems must be used, which means that rectified currents can be measured with a continuous component of up to 6 mA, including non-distorted currents (AC type), marked by the corresponding IEC 61008-1 Standard.

Immunity against transient leakages

The IEC 61008-1 Standard defines two types of ray-type curves to check the correct operation of an earth leakage device: an overload and an overvoltage wave. The overload wave shows the effects caused in the measurement of the earth leakage device and the overvoltage wave shows the effects in the power supply. The behaviour of earth leakage protection units in the case of transient overloads and overvoltages is vital to maintain the continuity in the supply of electricity. Therefore, the immunised earth leakage protection relays manufactured by CIRCUTOR can support very high peaks.

Industrial earth leakage protection

High-frequency current
The IEC 479-1 / UNE 20-572-92 Standard describes the effects of currents passing through the human body for a frequency of 50 Hz. As you can see, the effect depends on the root-meansquare-value of the current passing through the body and the time it takes to pass through. In accordance with the effects, we can establish zones 1 (zone with no perception) and 2 (perception zone) as safe work zones. Therefore, in terms of the protection of persons, earth leakage protection systems must act on those zones. When the frequency increases, the curves are displaced to the right of the previous graph, which indicates that the current is less dangerous.See the table attached, in accordance with IEC 4792/ UNE 20-572-93, where a fault current of, for example, 45 mA at 500 Hz has the same effect as a fault current of 30 mA at 50 Hz. In the case of receivers with EMI filters, we can consider that these inject a high-frequency earthed current (>2 kHz) and a low frequency current. The use of type A earth leakage protection systems is specified in these cases.

Sensitivity

Adjustments of In
The IEC 61008-1 Standard specifies that earth leakage switches must be triggered when the fault earthed current is between 50% and 100% of the sensitivity value (In) selected. This means that the values that exceed 50% can set off the earth leakage switch trigger. This type of case is common with electromechanical switches. In the case of electrical energy installations, these have evolved in such a way that the adjustment of protection can cause great problems, since it is too low. The electronic earth leakage protection systems offered by CIRCUTOR determine the trigger near 100 % of In. Therefore, we have a lower risk of triggers and less interruptions in the installation's supply than when the fault current is lower than In.
Fault earthed current Id

100 % In

The following graphs show that with an identical evolution of the fault earthed current in the same installation, the behaviour of the earth leakage switch is different, even when the sensitivity level of In is the same in both cases. This adjustment of In allows us to concentrate more loads that incorporate earthed capacitors within the same line being protected. For example, in a computer installation: Each unit diverts a current, Ileakage, of 2 mA through the EMI filter capacitors included. At a sensitivity of (In) 30 mA, you can install 7 computers with the electromechanical earth leakage switches. However, if you use CIRCUTOR's electronic switches you can install a total of 12.

Inverse curve
The IEC 61008-1 Standard allows us to incorporate a circuit opening delay for the circuit being protected, which will depend on the leakage current level. Therefore, the greater the fault current, the lower the delay. Two types of curves are specified, as shown on the following table of values:

Monitoring protection elements

The leakage current value must be available at all times in many applications. This information is quite useful for the installation's preventive and corrective maintenance tasks, since we can act before triggers are set off. For example, if the insulation degree of a machine is reduced, the earth leakage current increases, and since we have the said information, we can implement the appropriate corrective actions to avoid the trigger from being set off. The idea is to integrate the earth leakage currents in the installation's energy control system, thus controlling an additional quantity. Depending on the type of product, the information can be presented as follows:
}} In the earth leakage relay, through the display. }} Through the RS-485 communications system. }} With an auxiliary measurement unit.

In addition, records and logs of the insulation behaviour of the installation can be taken.

Remote control and reset

In the case of earth leakage protection systems in installations that require a continuous supply of energy, with no maintenance staff present, the remote control and reset (or self-reclosing) functions are very useful. Remote control functions can be carried out through communications systems (RS-485, Ethernet, etc.), using the PowerStudio Scada software. This function can control the status of protection systems and perform a set of actions through a computer and communications systems.

Earth leakage protection systems with self-reclosing

Given the current efficient personal and material protection requirements and obligations, and the complexity of some installations that require the continuous supply of electrical energy with the use of overload and earth leakage protection systems, CIRCUTOR has developed a wide range of units that make safety and service continuity compatible. Self-reclosing systems are an ideal solution for installations that need a constant supply of electrical energy, without the need for the usual maintenance staff:
}} Rural installations }} Refrigeration chambers }} Public lighting }} Mobile telephony repeaters }} Traffic lights }} Lighting of tunnels }} ATMs }} Cable television }} Etc.

The type of protection element installed, those that can be reclosed and under which reclosing conditions must be known by all self-reclosing systems. Self-reclosing systems act in accordance with the following:
}} Earth leakage current (earth leakage) }} Earth leakage current (earth leakage) + overload and short-circuit (circuit breaker).

Parameters related to self-reclosing relays

Relay status indicator
The indications are associated to the type of protection, distinguishing between instantaneous triggers and interlockings. The indications are sent by the relay (LED) and, optionally, by auxiliary contacts. Another type of visualisation, depending on the relay, is the instantaneous trigger value and the number of total reclosures. ON position. This is when the reset timer of the reclosing meter will be set off. The RESET option starts the relay, resetting the reclosing meters.

Local (with the keys) and remote test and reset

Self-reclosing earth leakage relays offer the same performance as non-reclosing relays. It enables the verification of the correct operation of the relay with local TEST and RESET functions, using the keys on the relay, including remote functions with specific inputs. The RESET option resets the relay and the reclosing meters.

Nominal trigger point of protections

Standard values:
}} Earth leakage protection 30 mA - 3 A }} Overload protection 6 A - 63 A

Timer (delay)
Minimum time that the earth leakage must last before setting off a relay trigger. Standard values: 20 ms - 1s.

Number of reclosures, distinguished by type and number of self-reclosing

Each relay enables a maximum number of reclosures before setting off the interlocking. The meter will be reset automatically if the maximum number of reclosures is not exceeded within a preestablished period of time (reset time of reclosing meters). This number will be different, in accordance with the type of self-reclosing.

Relay power supply and tolerance

Self-reclosing relays need a permanent form of auxiliary power supply in order to manage the self-reclosing operations.
}} Standardised value: 230 Vac 15 % }} Optional: 48, 110 or 400 Vac

Output relay
}} Number of relays }} With interlocking }} NO or NC Output contact

Reclosing meter reset time.

To avoid the accumulation of triggers that do not correspond to the same anomaly, a reset time is defined for the reclosing meters, provided that the maximum number of reclosures is not exceeded. Example: The WRU-25 RA relay has a maximum number of reclosures available before being pushed to its interlocking. In installations with a transient earth leakage fault that lasts 50 seconds, the relay is triggered 4 times and reclosed 3 times (8 s + 16 s + 30 s). During the timing of the third self-reclosing, the fault disappears, so that the relay will remain in the

This new range presents a series of improvements above all in the installation of equipment in switchboards. Along with the usual installation fixtures, we add the possibility of doing it with a DIN rail by means of an accessory, which would facilitate its installation. The WGC series earth leakage transformers have a greater immunity to transitory type current peaks that usually cause differential protection triggers. The earth leakage transformers of the WGC Series have been designed to work with the relays of the WGC Series. The sensitivity (trigger current) of the transformer-relay set is established by the associated relay.
