Over Voltage Protection Working Principle 59

Over voltage protection 59:.

Over voltage protection is used to protect the synchronous Generator/transformer/alternator form high voltage. Generally, overvoltage occurs due to sudden load through off, elevated grid synchronized voltage, AVR malfunctioning, power transformer taps changer failure, lightning strike on the transmission line, turbine over speed etc. the power system must be isolated when the system voltage high. Seviour overvoltage causes the winding or electrical insulation failure, over fluxing (u/f), transformer’s core saturation etc. The over voltage protection can be considered as a backup to the Volts-per-Hertz protection (Over fluxing).

ANSI Code for Overvoltage protection: 59

Relays acted :

• 59 relay’s Flag operation at Protection panel.
• 86M grid Acting of Master relay
• 86H generator Opted when the turbine reaches over speed
• Indication at Annunciation Panel.

[wp_ad_camp_1] Raise the generator voltage slowly with manual mode in AVR and keep generator voltage within the limits of normal voltage. If it is unable to control the generator voltage, trip the field breaker and inform to the maintenance staff for rectification of the AVR.

Intro to Relays #2 - ANSI/IEEE Relay Numbers

Protective Relays are an advanced area of electrical engineering and contracting that can be intimidating, but they don’t have to be! This series of 3 articles will introduce basic relaying to the non-engineers in the solar and energy storage industries.

Intro to Relays #1 – What are Relays, CTs, & PTs?

Intro to Relays #2 – ANSI/IEEE Relay Device Numbers (below on this page)

Intro to Relays #3 – What does SEL stand for? 

Relay Numbers

Protective relays are designed by using standard device numbers to describe its functionality. Instead of verbal descriptions, we use numbers to describe the functions of a relay. The numbers and acronyms are standardized in the document ANSI/IEEE C37.2.

Why use numbers instead of words?

• Efficiency – They are much more efficient to use when creating the wiring diagrams or speaking. For instance, instead of saying “Over Voltage on the Neutral” you can just say “59N”.
• Standardization – When used in conversation, all parties (Utilities, engineers, vendors, installers, etc.) will immediately know what functionality is needed without the risk of misinterpretation and mistakes.
• More compact on a drawing – Since relays provide several functions, it's more concise on a drawing to just call out the numbers. Here is an example of a relay with “ phase overvoltage & undervoltage, phase over frequency & under frequency, ground inverse time overcurrent, and alarm” functions . See how much easier it is using the numbers that in you needed to write it all out?

What numbers are used in Solar?

Here are the most commonly used functions in PV and Energy Storage Systems:

Additionally, there may be letters after the numbers, which further define the function:

It’s not enough to simply call out the functions. Functions also need the minimum and/or maximum setpoint values. These are determined by an engineer and are often unique for each project.

At a high level, the concept of relay device numbers is simple. It is a slippery slope that quickly gets more complicated. However, developers and project managers don’t need to know the technical details to do their jobs. That’s why you have experienced engineers such as Pure Power.

ANSI (IEEE) Protective Device Numbering 

The widely used United Sates standard ANSI/IEEE C37.2 'Electrical Power System Device Function Numbers, Acronyms, and Contact Designations' deals with protective device function numbering and acronyms.   Even in those parts of the world where IEC standards are predominate, the use of ANSI numbering for protective device functions is still common place.

Protective Device Numbers

Protective relays are commonly referred to by standard device numbers. For example, a time overcurrent relay is designated a 51 device, while an instantaneous overcurrent is a 50 device. Multifunction relays have combinations of device numbers. A 27/59 device, for example, is a combination under/over voltage relay. Letters can be added to clarify application (87T for transformer differential, 59G for ground overvoltage).

Overvoltage Protection (ANSI 59)

Presentation

Overvoltage protection (ANSI 59) constantly monitors the voltage level of power supplies. If the voltage level of an installation goes out of its acceptable limits, the information provided by overvoltage protection can be used to initiate appropriate action to restore good operating conditions in the installation.

The information provided by overvoltage protection is used to generate alarms and circuit breaker tripping when required. In addition, the constant monitoring of phase-to-phase or phase-to-neutral voltages enables appropriate action to be initiated to safeguard the operation of the installation during abnormal or critical situations, for example, load shedding, source change-over, and emergency generator starting.

Prerequisites

Overvoltage protection is available when the ANSI 27/59 - Under/Over voltage Digital Module is purchased and installed on a MicroLogic X control unit .

Overvoltage protection requires an external 24 Vdc power supply.

Overvoltage protection is compatible with:

o MicroLogic 2.0 X, 5.0 X, 6.0 X, and 7.0 X control units for IEC standard

o MicroLogic 3.0 X, 5.0 X, and 6.0 X control units for UL standard

o MicroLogic X control units with firmware version greater than or equal to 002.000.002. Earlier firmware versions need to be updated .

Data from the Digital Module is available remotely through IFE/EIFE or IFM communication interfaces, if the IFE/EIFE or IFM firmware version is compatible with the Digital Module. For more information, refer to firmware compatibility of the communication interfaces .

Operating Principle

Inhibiting Protection

To inhibit the overvoltage protection (ANSI 59-1 or ANSI 59-2), both the following conditions must be met:

o Inhibition is enabled on a specific protection (ANSI 59-1 or ANSI 59-2) by setting the Inhibition parameter to ON.

o Inhibition of optional protections is activated by an input of the IO module. The function Inhibit Optional Protection must be assigned to an input of the IO module.

For more information about inhibiting optional protections, refer to Enerlin'X IO - Input/Output Application Module for One Circuit Breaker - User Guide .

NOTE: The overvoltage protections (ANSI 59-1 or ANSI 59-2) can be inhibited separately, or together.

Setting for All Under/Overvoltage Protections

Select the type of voltages to monitor before making other settings:

o VLL phase-to-phase voltage selection (factory setting)

o VLN phase-to-neutral voltage selection (this setting should only be selected with 4-pole circuit breakers or 3-pole circuit breakers with ENVT wired and configured)

It can be set as follows:

o With EcoStruxure Power Commission software (password-protected)

o With EcoStruxure Power Device app (password-protected)

Setting ANSI 59-1 Protection

The settings for overvoltage protection on one phase (ANSI 59-1) are:

o Vmax1 mode: enables (ON) or disables (OFF) the protection

o Vmax1 action: sets the result of overvoltage protection action as trip or alarm

o Trip: the circuit breaker trips and three events are generated (start, operate, and trip)

o Alarm: two events are generated (start and operate)

o Vmax1 inhib: enables (ON) the protection to be inhibited by IO module

o Vmax1: threshold of overvoltage protection on one phase

o tVmax1: time delay of overvoltage protection on one phase

They can be set as follows:

The dual settings function does not apply to overvoltage protection on one phase. When the dual settings function is enabled, overvoltage protection settings are the same whether set A or set B settings are activated.

Setting ANSI 59-2 Protection

The settings for overvoltage protection on all phases (ANSI 59-2) are:

o Vmax2 mode: enables (ON) or disables (OFF) the protection

o Vmax2 action: sets the result of overvoltage protection action as trip or alarm

o Vmax2 inhib: enables (ON) the protection to be inhibited by IO module

o Vmax2: threshold of overvoltage protection on all phases (ANSI 59-2)

o tVmax2: time delay of overvoltage protection on all phases (ANSI 59-2)

The dual settings function does not apply to overvoltage protection on all phases. When the dual settings function is enabled, overvoltage protection settings are the same whether set A or set B settings are activated.

Protection Settings

The following are the settings for ANSI 59-1 and ANSI 59-2:

Protection Characteristics

Characteristics of overvoltage protection:

o Definite time delay

o Instantaneous reset time

o Hysteresis: fixed 98%

o Minimum breaking time 50 ms

o Maximum breaking time 140 ms with time delay set to 0 s

Presentation

Undervoltage protection (ANSI 27 ) constantly monitors the system voltage. If the voltage level of an installation goes out of its acceptable limits, the information provided by undervoltage protection can be used to initiate appropriate action to restore good operating conditions in the installation.

The information provided by undervoltage protection is used to generate alarms and circuit breaker tripping when required. In addition, the constant monitoring of phase-to-phase or phase-to-neutral voltages enables appropriate action to be initiated to safeguard the operation of the installation during abnormal or critical situations, for example, load shedding, source change-over, and emergency generator starting.

Prerequisites

Undervoltage protection is available when the ANSI 27/59 - Under/Over voltage protection Digital Module is purchased and installed on a MicroLogic X control unit .

Undervoltage protection requires an external 24 Vdc power supply.

Undervoltage protection is compatible with:

MicroLogic 2.0 X, 5.0 X, 6.0 X , and 7.0 X control units for IEC standard

MicroLogic 3.0 X , 5.0 X , and 6.0 X control units for UL standard

MicroLogic X control units with firmware version greater than or equal to 002.000.002. Earlier firmware versions need to be updated .

Data from the Digital Module is available remotely through IFE / EIFE or IFM communication interfaces, if the IFE / EIFE or IFM firmware version is compatible with the Digital Module. For more information, refer to firmware compatibility of the communication interfaces .

Operating Principle

Inhibiting protection.

To inhibit the undervoltage protection (ANSI 27-1 or ANSI 27-2 ), both the following conditions must be met:

Inhibition is enabled on a specific protection (ANSI 27-1 or ANSI 27-2 ) by setting the Inhibition parameter to ON.

Inhibition of optional protections is activated by an input of the IO module. The function Inhibit optional protection must be assigned to an input of the IO module.

For more information about inhibiting optional protections, refer to Enerlin'X IO - Input/Output Application Module for One Circuit Breaker - User Guide .

Voltage Measurement

For undervoltage protection set in tripping mode, the voltage must be measured on the power source side to allow closing of the circuit breaker. As standard, the MicroLogic X voltage input is directly connected to the internal pickup voltage ( PTI ) on the bottom side of the circuit breaker. So:

If the circuit breaker is bottom fed, the internal pickup voltage ( PTI ) is suitable for undervoltage protection and circuit breaker closing.

If the circuit breaker is top fed, an external voltage input is required. The external voltage tap ( PTE ) option must be used to measure the voltage on the power source side or use the Force to Off when CB is open option.

Setting for All Under/Overvoltage Protections

Select the type of voltages to monitor before making other settings:

VLL phase-to-phase voltage selection (factory setting)

VLN phase-to-neutral voltage selection (this setting should be selected only with 4-pole circuit breakers or 3-pole circuit breakers with ENVT wired and configured)

It can be set as follows:

With EcoStruxure Power Commission software (password-protected)

With EcoStruxure Power Device app (password-protected)

Setting ANSI 27-1 and ANSI 27-2 Undervoltage Behavior Parameter

For a top fed circuit breaker without the PTE option, if the undervoltage protection trips the circuit breaker, it can be difficult to close the circuit breaker again. This is due to the protection detecting the absence of voltage and tripping immediately. To enable closing of the circuit breaker, the undervoltage behavior parameter can be set to Force to Off when CB is open .

The undervoltage behavior parameter, Vmin behavior, has two settings:

Normal : the protection functions as normal

Force to Off when CB is open : undervoltage protection is disabled when the threshold is reached and the circuit breaker is in the open position

Setting ANSI 27-1 Protection

The settings for undervoltage protection on one phase (ANSI 27-1 ) are:

Vmin1 mode: enables (ON) or disables (OFF) undervoltage protection on one phase

Vmin1 action: sets the result of undervoltage protection activation as trip or alarm

Over current/Earth fault Relays [50/51]:

Over current/Earth fault relays are the basic protection relays. Used for protection of transformers and feeders from over current and earth faults. When excessive current flows in a circuit, it is necessary to trip the circuit breaker protecting that circuit.

The Example Over current/Earth fault relay is shown in the below figure. It is the most common Numerical relay . The following protection functions are used in this relay.

Protection Functions of Over current/Earth fault relays :

Protection Functions used in this relay are

• 50/51 Phase Over Current Protection Definite time/Time over Current IEC
• 50N/51N Earth over Current Protection Definite time/Time over Current IEC
• Ground Fault Protection Definite time/Time over Current IEC Sensitive Earth Fault protection is provided by using CBCT
• 74Trip circuit Supervision With 2 Binary inputs/With 1 Binary input
• Breaker Failure

In the following figure the Over current/Earth fault relay is configured and LEDs are assigned as follows.

LED Configuration:

• Device ok Relay is Operational and Protecting
• General Trip This indicates when any protection tripping occur causes breaker trips.
• Trip Circuit Healthy This indicates no problem in the trip circuit.
• Over Current trip This indicates for any fault causes over current in the phase element of the relay that exceeds the setting value.
• Earth Fault trip This indicates for any fault causes over current in the earth element of the relay that exceeds the setting value.
• Breaker Failure If after a programmable time delay, the circuit breaker has not opened, breaker failure protection issues a trip signal to isolate the failure breaker by tripping other surrounding backup circuit breaker.
• Interlock OK This indicates when certain conditions are satisfied. For example the conditions like LR Selector Switch in Remote Position, Breaker in Service, Bus Voltage Healthy, and Trip Circuit Healthy etc. If these conditions are satisfied we can close the breaker.

Explanation of over current protection:

Over current relay protection is usually provided by either instantaneous or time delay over current relays.

Instantaneous Over current Protection (50):

 This is typically applied on the final supply load or on any protection relay with sufficient circuit impedance between itself and the next downstream protection relay.

Relay Time-delay:

Time-delay built in the relays to provide coordination with other over current relays for selectivity.

 The selectivity is obtained by adjustment of current setting and time, using the most applicable of several time characteristics.

Over current/Earth fault Relays-Time Characteristics (51):

The relay time characteristics differ by the rate at which the time of operation of the relay decreases as the current increases. This can be represented graphically by the relays TCC curve (Time Current Characteristic).

Some common relay TCC curve families are identified as inverse, very inverse, extremely inverse, and definite time. There are many more and custom curves can be developed in microprocessor type relay.

Inverse time or definite time can be selected according to the following criteria: –

•  Definite time: Source impedance is large compared to the line impedance, that is, there is small current variation between near and far end faults.
• Inverse time: Longer lines, where the fault current is much less at the far end of the line than at the local end.
• Strong or extreme inverse-time: Lines where the line impedance is large compared to the source impedance (high difference for close-in and remote faults), or lines where coordination with fuses or reclosers is necessary. Steeper characteristics also provide higher stability on service restoration (cold load pickup and transformer inrush currents).

Over Current/ Earth fault relays Tripping and Dropout Times:

1. calculation of tripping time:.

For inverse time characteristic relays the tripping time can be calculated using the below formulae based on type of curve used.

The tripping time characteristic curve is drawn between I/I p versus trip time t in secs.

Relay Pickup threshold is usually at 110 percent of pick-up current.

According to IEC

2. Calculation of Drop-out Time:

The relay starts drop out usually at 95 percent of pick-up value without disk emulation and 90 percent of pick-up value with disk emulation.

Here Disk Emulation means the additional time taken into consideration to reset a Ferraris disk due to its inertia.

Disk emulation offers advantages when the overcurrent relay elements must be coordinated with conventional electromechanical overcurrent relays located towards the source.

For the second straight year, the City Section girls’ swimming championship was decided on the last event and again Granada Hills won it. Only this time the Highlanders had to share the title with Palisades, which rallied to take second place in the 400-meter freestyle relay by a mere 0.59 seconds Saturday, thanks to a blazing anchor leg by freshman Alexis Burrell.

Palisades led the girls’ standings by six points going into the relay, but Granada Hills picking up the 40 first-place points meant the Dolphins had to finish second to gain the 34 points they required for a piece of the title. They trailed top qualifier and league rival Venice for most of the race, but Burrell’s late surge edged Gondoliers’ sophomore Lily Wu at the wall.

“I gave it everything I had the last 25 meters,” said Burrell, who clocked a personal-best 1 minute, 56.60 seconds to win the 200 freestyle and won the 500 freestyle by almost five seconds earlier in the meet. “The adrenaline kicked in and took over the pain.”

Granada Hills’ foursome of Lauryn Cha, Isabella San Jose, Elaina Brier and Ava San Jose won the decisive relay in 3:41.27. Palisades was second in 3:44.83 and Venice was third in 3:45.42.

Granada Hills and Palisades both finished with 371.5 points, creating the first split title in girls’ section history (since 1973) and only the second overall, dating to 1926. Palisades and Chatsworth tied for the boys’ title in 1974.

Venice, Granada Hills and Palisades finished 1-2-3 in the first event, the girls’ 200 medley relay. Granada Hills freshman Isabella San Jose was second to UCLA-bound senior Claire Wu of Taft in the 200 individual medley and Brier, a sophomore, earned crucial points for the Highlanders with another runner-up swim in the 100 freestyle.

Granada Hills’ boys also won the 400 freestyle relay en route to their first team title since 2001 and they celebrated with a dip in the pool at Valley College alongside the girls, who repeated for their eighth title overall, having won six in a row from 1995 to 2000.

As for Palisades, the girls added to their record total with their 31st City title while the boys settled for second place for the second straight year with 358 points — 21 behind Granada Hills and three ahead of third-place Cleveland. San Pedro had won the previous two titles.

Granada Hills sophomore Ryan Zheng won the 200 freestyle in 1:44.72 and the 500 freestyle in 4:46.11, senior Dominic Vargas won the 50 freestyle in 21.48 seconds and repeated as the 100 freestyle winner in 47.88 and the two swam the first and last legs on the Highlanders’ victorious 200 freestyle relay (1:29.62).

Eagle Rock’s Kenneth Devis swam the 100 breaststroke in 57.04 to break the City record and he also took first in the 100 butterfly in 49.77.

Indian men's 4x400m team fails to finish World Relays heat race

Indian men's 4x400m team failed to finish its heat race at the world athletics relays in nassau on sunday, 5 may..

Listen to Story

• India men's relay team failed to finish in World Athletics
• The participation in Paris Olympics hinges on the result of this event
• Second leg runner Rajesh Ramesh pulled out injured

Second leg runner Rajesh Ramesh pulled out injured as the Indian men's 4x400m team failed to finish its heat race at the World Athletics Relays here on Sunday, during round one of Paris Olympics qualifications.

The Indian quartet of Muhammed Anas Yahiya, Rajesh Ramesh, Muhammed Ajmal and Amoj Jacob was hoping to book a Paris ticket with a top-two finish in heat number four, but in utter heartbreak, Ramesh left the race midway while clutching his left leg. Anas had already run the first leg.

The details of the injury to Ramesh, who ran the mixed 4x400m race just, is not yet known.

India will have another chance on Monday during round two of Olympics qualifications where all the other teams which finished outside top-two in their respective heats on Sunday will try their luck for another shot at the Paris Games. The teams are expected to be divided into three heats and top two from each of them will book Paris ticket.

The same quartet had set an Asian record of 2 minutes and 59.05 seconds at the 2023 Budapest World Championships. India had failed to get past the heat round in the Tokyo Olympics.

India also failed to make the Paris Olympics cut in women's 4x400m and mixed 4x400m relays on the first day of qualifications. Both the Indian teams of mixed 4x400m and women's 4x400m will have to wait for Monday's round two of Olympics qualifications.

In the mixed 4x400m event, the Indian quartet of Rajesh Ramesh, Rupal Chaudhary, Avinash Krishna Kumar and Jyothika Sri Dandi ran a poor race to finish sixth in heat number two with a time of 3 minutes and 20.36 seconds.

Later, the Indian quartet of Vithya Ramraj, M R Poovamma, Jyothika Sri Dandi and Subha Venkatesan finished fifth in heat number one with a time of 3 minutes and 29.74 seconds.

The top two teams in each of the four heat races here qualify for the Paris Olympics to be held from July 16 to August 11. The remaining teams in all the heats will compete again on Monday in another qualification round for another six Paris Olympics spots.
