Beckwith Electric Leads the World


in Generator Protection
Dr. Yalla receives IEEE PES Award
Beckwith Electric is proud to announce that
Dr. Murty V.V.S. Yalla, President, and member of
the Beckwith Electric Company Board of Directors,
received an IEEE Power Engineering Society (PES)
Award at the IEEE PES General Meeting in Denver,
CO in 2004. The working group recognition award for
an outstanding technical report "Application of Peer-
to-Peer Communications for Protective Relaying"
was presented to Dr. Yalla, who chaired the working
group, by IEEE PES president Hans B. Püttgen. The
working group is associated with the
communications subcommittee of the power systems
relaying committee (PSRC) of the IEEE PES.

In 2005, Dr. Yalla was appointed President and elected to the Board of Directors for Beckwith
Electric Company. Dr. Yalla joined Beckwith Electric in 1989 as the vice president of research
and development/engineering, where he was responsible for new product development and
product maintenance in the areas of digital protection and control of power apparatus.

Beckwith Introduction

IEEE PC37.90.2 Standard for Withstand Capability


of Relay Systems to Radiated Electromagnetic
Interference from Transceivers (Excerpts)
3.0 Test severity level
The field strength prior to modulation shall be 20V/m r.m.s. The
waveform shall be amplitude modulated with a 1kHz sine wave.
Modulation shall be equal to 80%, with the resulting maximum field
strength not being less than 35V/m r.m.s. The test carrier frequency
shall be swept or stepped through the range of 80 MHz to 1.0 GHz.
Historical Note: IEEE C37.90.2 Standard for Withstand Capability of
Relay Systems to Radiated Electromagnetic Interference from
Transceivers was developed and published initially as a Trial Use
Standard with an field strength requirement of 10 volts/meter over the
frequency range of 25Mhz. to 1000Mhz. The Trial Use standard
expired after 2 years of publication. Following reviews of inputs
received from use of the Trial Use Standard, the final C37.90.2
document was subsequently released with a field strength
requirement of 35 volts/meter. This field strength magnitude was
established based upon test information received from the Working
Group members.

IEEE PC37.90.2 Standard for Withstand Capability


of Relay Systems to Radiated Electromagnetic
Interference from Transceivers (Excerpts)
6.0 Test procedure
The following tests are to be performed.
a. The EUT shall be subjected to an electromagnetic field from a
radiation source operating within the swept or stepped frequency
range of 80 MHz to 1000 MHz.
b. The EUT shall be subjected to a keying test over the frequency
range of 80 MHz to 1000 MHz. (6.2 Keying Test - To determine
the susceptibility to repeated operation of a transmitter, a keying
test shall be performed to evaluate the test specimen in this
mode.)
c. The EUT shall be subjected to an electromagnetic field from a
radiation source at given spot frequencies from 80 MHz to 900
MHz.

6.4.2 Conditions to be met
The equipment shall be considered to have passed the
electromagnetic interference tests if during, or as a result of the
tests, all of the conditions below are met for the equipment and
the connected devices:
a. The specified performance of the equipment, including the
operating time, does not change, beyond stated tolerances.
b. No hardware damage occurs.
c. No change in calibration beyond normal tolerances results.
d. No loss or corruption of stored memory or data, including
active or stored settings, occurs.
e. "System resets" do not occur, and manual resetting is not
required.
f. Establish communications not affecting protection functions
recover within the manufacturer's time period, if disrupted.

6.4.2 Conditions to be met (cont’d)
g. Communications errors, if they occur, do not jeopardize the
protective functions.
h. No loss of digital pulse synchronization occurs or where the loss
of digital pulse synchronization does occur, it shall not produce an
out of tolerance condition.
i. No changes in the states of the electrical, mechanical, or status
outputs occur. This includes alarms, status outputs, or targets.
j. No erroneous, permanent change of state of the visual, audio, or
message outputs results. Momentary changes of these outputs
during the tests are permitted.
k. No error outside normal tolerances of the data communication
signals (SCADA analogs) occurs.

6.4.3 Equipment functioning
During and after the tests, the equipment and the connected
devices shall be completely and accurately functional as designed,
for the equipment to be considered as having passed the
electromagnetic interference tests.

Beckwith Introduction

Conformal Coating provides the following


protection:
- Anti-fungus
- Anti-Humidity
- Dust and airborn contaminant protection
- Increased insulation
- Some degree of mechanical stabilization for components
- Corrosion resistance
- Protection against saline environment - coastal plants and subs
Even "clean" environments are not "office clean". If you were to visit a typical substation, you
would not see an environment that you would call clean. Depending on the power plant type,
you would find a wide range of cleanliness. Oil-fired and coal-fired plants can be particularly
dirty. Gas-fired are no better, depending on the plant owner. Geothermal plants have to
contend with a corrosive environment. Some hydro facilities are squeaky clean, but in some
parts of the world, have to contend with a tropical environment. In the the industrial sector,
there are a wide variety of contaminants.

In conclusion, microprocessor circuits with high density circuit boards MUST be


kept CLEAN to function with LONG-TERM RELIABILITY.
