11 GEK TRANSFORMER DIFFERENTIAL RELAYS WITH PERCENTAGE AND HARMONIC RESTRAINT STD15C and STD16C INTRODUCTION Relays of the STD type are transformer differential relays provided with the features of percentage and harmonic restraint. A static decision unit controls a small telephone-type relay that provides the contact output. Percentage restraint permits accurate discrimination between internal and external faults at high current, while harmonic restraint enables the relay to distinguish, by the difference in waveform, between the differential current caused by an internal fault, and that of transformer magnetizing inrush. DESCRIPTION Each Type STD relay is a single-phase unit. The Type STD15C relay is designed to be used for the protection of two-winding power transformers and has two throughcurrent restraint circuits and one differential current circuit. The Type STD16C relay is designed for use with three winding power transformers and has three through current restraint circuits and one differential-current circuit. It may also be used for four-circuit transformer protection (see Figure 1) when only three circuits require through-current restraint, while the fourth circuit, being the weakest, needs no through-current restraint. APPLICATION The current transformer ratios and relay taps should be selected to obtain the maximum sensitivity without risking thermal overload of the relay or current transformer (CT), or the possibility of misoperation. Therefore, current transformer ratios in the various windings of the power transformer should be selected with the following points in mind: 1. The lower the relay tap and the lower the CT ratio selected, the higher will be the sensitivity. However, the lowest CT ratio and the lowest relay tap may not be compatible with some of the following restrictions. Where a choice is available of increasing either the CT ratio or the relay tap, it is desirable to increase the CT ratio in preference to the relay tap. Since the relay burden is likely to be small compared to the lead burden, increasing the CT ratio tends to improve the relative performance of the CTs, as a result of reducing the maximum secondary fault current and increasing the accuracy of the CTs. These 4nstructjons do not purport to cover all details or variations in equipent,,or to provide for every possible c-tingency to be met in connection with instillation, operation or misntnce. Should further j nforma tcn be desi red or should parti cular problew arise which are not covered safficiently far the purchaser s purposes, time rsitter should be referred to the General Electric Company. To the ertent required the products described herein meet applicable ANSI, ZESt and IM standards; but no such assurance is given with respect to local codes and ordinances because they varç greatly. 3

In this case, the harmonics false operation on magnetizing inrush to one transformer bank, causing a It is not desirable to protect two parallel transformer banks with one set of differential protection, since the sensitivity of the protection would be reduced. restraint on heavy through-fault current flowing around the ring bus. voltage or low voltage system through four breakers (as shown in Figure 1) as voltage) breakers be connected to a separate restraining winding to assure current. It is recommended that CTs on each of the two low voltage (or high 8. In some applications, the power transformer will be connected to the high load current flowing around the ring in addition to the transformer load selected so that the secondary windings will not be thermally overloaded on for example in a ring-bus arrangement. In this case, the CT ratios must be relied upon to prevent relay operation on the unbalanced current which flows within 5%. When the protected transformer is equipped with load-ratio control of the range and the percentage_differential characteristic of the relay is it is obvious that a close match cannot be obtained at all points of the ratiochanging range. In this case, the secondary currents are matched at the middle provided on the relay by means of which the currents may usually be matched exactly by selection of current transformer ratios, ratio-matching taps are external faults. Since it is rarely possible to match the secondary currents 7. The CT ratios should be selected to provide balanced secondary current on less than 8 times tap value, the harmonic content of the secondary current may current.

In addition, if the banks can be switched separately, there is a possibility of 4

A sample calculation, for the transformer shown in Figure 4, is then given. current in either breaker. Also, select CT ratios so that the relay currents selected so that the CT thermal rating will not be exceeded by the maximum load transformer is connected to a ring bus, for example, the CT ratio should be Actually, this calculation does not mean that all windings will necessarily carry these maximum load currents continuously. This is only a convenient way transformer, or the equivalent self-cooled ratings. transformer winding may carry the maximum forced-cooled rated kva of the shift between primary and Delta-Delta Wye-Wye GE K CURRENT TRANSFORMER CONNECTIONS Power Transformer Connections Current Transformer Connections Delta-Wye Wye-Delta Wye-Delta Delta-Wye Wye-Wye Delta-Delta Delta-Zigzag with 0 phase Delta-Delta secondary DETERMINATION OF CT TURNS AND TYPE STD RELAY TAP SETTING 1.

This is the requirement for selecting the relay tap setting so that the relay will not operate for any external fault. 3. Select CT ratios so that the secondary current corresponding to maximum Ip does not exceed the CT secondary thermal rating (5 amperes). In the case where a can be properly matched by means of the relay taps. (Highest current not more than 3 times lowest current). For Wye-connected CTs Tap Current = 100% 5

14 GEK For Delta-connected CTs Tap Current = 100% LL N where N is the number of CT secondary turns. 4. Check the matching of relay currents to relay taps, to keep the mismatch error as low as possible. Calculate the percentage of mismatch as follows: on two-winding transformers, determine the ratio of the two relay currents and the tap values selected. The differences between these ratios, divided by the smaller ratio, is the percent of mismatch. The mismatch normally should not exceed 5%. For three-winding transformers, the percent of mismatch error should be checked for all combinations of currents or taps. If taps cannot be selected to keep this percentage error within allowable limits, it will be necessary to choose a different CT ratio on one or more lines, to obtain a better match between relay currents and relay taps. 5. Check to see that the sum of the relay currents that will be applied to the relay for a fault at the terminals of the power transformer is less than 220 amperes RMS for 1 second. If the period during which a fault current flows in the relay can be definitely limited to a shorter time, a higher current can be accommodated in accordance with the relation: (Amperes) 2 x seconds 48,400 Al so check that the sum of the multiples of tap current on an internal or external fault do not exceed 150. CURRENT TRANSFORMER RATIO ERROR The CT ratio error must be less than 20% at 8 times relay rated tap current. This is based on the instantaneous unit being set at its normal setting, which is 8 times tap rating. If the instantaneous unit pickup is raised above this value, the 20% figure must be reduced, as described in the CHARACTERISTICS section. The calculations listed below are for the worst-fault condition, as far as CT performance is concerned, which is an internal ground fault between the CT and the transformer winding, with none of the fault current supplied through the neutral of the protected transformer. 1.

AUXILIARY RELAY CONTROL CIRCUIT The STD15C and STD16C relays are available for use with 48, 125, and 250 DC or 48, 110 and 220 DC control voltage, depending upon the relay model. A plate with small links located on the front of the relay enables the selection of one of these vol tages. The STD relay is provided with two open contacts connected to a common output circuit. The current closing rating of the contact is 30 amps for voltages not exceeding 250 volts. If more than one circuit breaker is to be tripped, or if the tripping current exceeds 30 amperes, an auxiliary relay must be used with the STD relay. After the breaker trips, it is necessary that the tripping circuit of these relays (STD and auxiliary) be de-energized by an auxiliary switch on the circuit breaker or by other automatic provisions. A manual reset relay is recommended and normally used. PICKUP AND OPERATING TIME CHARACTERISTI Cs The operating characteristic is shown in Figure 7. The curve for various percentage slopes shows the percent slope versus the throughcurrent flowing in the transformer. The percentage slope is a figure given to a particular slope tap setting, and indicates an approximate slope characteristic. Pickup at zero restraint is approximately 30% of tap value (See Table III). The dropout time, when the operating current is reduced to zero from any value above pickup, is less than 25 mill i seconds. Curves of the operating time of the main unit and of the instantaneous unit are shown in Figure 5, plotted against differential current. The main unit operating time includes auxiliary unit operating time. OVERCURRENT UNIT PICKUP The overcurrent unit is adjusted to pick up when the differential current transformer ampere-turns are 8 times the ampere turns produced by rated tap current flowing in that tap. For example: When only one CT supplies current, and the tap plug for the CT is in the 5 ampere tap, 40 amperes are required for pickup. This pickup value is based on the AC component of current transformer output only, since the differential current transformer in the relay produces only a half cycle of any DC (offset) component present. 11

20 it is recommended that the CT ratio or relay tap setting be increased, rather than that the unit may pick up, especially on small transformer banks. If this happens, magnetizing inrush. If CT currents are greater than tap rating, there is danger tap rating on a self-cooled basis, the overcurrent unit will not pick up on If ratio matching taps are chosen so that rated CT current is not greater than the 12 of-circuit closure on the voltage wave. They have a very distorted waveform made up illustrated in Figure 8. practically no current during the opposite half cycles. The two current waves are of sharply peaked half-cycle loops of current on one side of the zero axis, and full-load current for worst conditions of power transformer residual flux and point Transformer magnetizing inrush currents vary according to the extremely variable magnitude, occasionally having an RMS value with 100% offset, approaching 16 times exciting impedance resulting from core saturation. They are often of high cycle at which fault occurs, and upon circuit impedance magnitude and angle. constant circuit impedance. The DC component depends on the time in the voltage component. The sine waveform results from sinusoidal voltage generation and nearly Power system fault currents are of a nearly pure sine waveform, plus a DC transient cause false operation if means were not provided to prevent it. This causes an unbalance current to flow in the differential relay, which would inrush, and in the primary winding flows only through the current transformers. that establishes the required flux in the core. This current is called magnetizing At the time a power transformer is energized, current is supplied to the primary HARMONIC RESTRAINT CHARACTERISTICS currents become unbalanced. Percentage restraint is also required to prevent transformers and cause their ratios to change, with the result that the secondary operation by the unbalanced currents caused by imperfect matching of the secondary on through fault currents. High currents saturate the cores of the current (as shown in Figure 7). This characteristic is necessary to prevent false operation be unbalanced by a certain minimum percentage, determined by the relay slope setting restraining circuit that is indirectly energized by the transformer secondary currents. For the relay to operate, the current transformer secondary currents must currents, as previously described under Determination of CT Turns and STD Relay Tap Settings. differential current of the line current transformers, the relay is equipped with a restraint circuits.

If the overcurrent setting must be GE K

21 GEK Any current of distorted, nonsinusoidal waveform may be considered as being composed of a DC component plus a number of sine-wave components of different frequencies; one of the fundamental system frequency, and the others, called harmonics, having frequencies which are 2, 3, 4, 5, etc., times the fundamental frequency. The relative magnitudes and phase positions of the harmonics with reference to the fundamental determine the waveform. When analyzed in this manner, the typical fault current wave is found to contain only a very small percentage of harmonics, while the typical magnetizing-inrush-current wave contains a considerable amount. The high percentage of harmonic currents in the magnetizing-inrush--current wave afford an excellent means of distinguishing it electrically from the fault-current wave. In the Type STD relays, the harmonic components are separated from the fundamental component by suitable electric filters. The harmonic current components are passed through the restraining circuit of the relay, while the fundamental component is passed through the operating circuit. The DC component present in both the magnetizing-inrush and offset-fault-current waves is largely blocked by the auxiliary differential-current transformer inside the relay, and produces only a slight momentary restraining effect. Relay operation occurs on differential-current waves in which the ratio of harmonics to fundamental is lower than a given predetermined value, for which the relay is set (e.g. an internal fault current wave), and is restrained on differential-current waves in which the ratio exceeds this value (e.g. magnetizing-inrush-current wave). BURDENS Burdens are shown in Table III and IV. Burdens and minimum pickup values are substantially independent of the percent slope settings, and are all approximately 100% power factor.

Figure 5 shows the relative levels of pickup and speed of operation of the main unit and the overcurrent unit. MAIN OPERATING UNIT The primary functioning unit of the STD relay is a solid-state amplifier, whose Output controls a simple telephone relay. The sense amplifier is shown in Figures 10 and 11 as a large rectangle. The amplifier consists of many electronic coniponents mounted on a printed circuit card in the top half of the relay. This printed circuit card is installed in a ten-prong printed card design socket. A schematic of this card is shown in Figure 9. This component is adjusted prior to leaving the factory, and should require no further attention. The telephone-type relay is mounted vertically in the mid-section of the relay. It, too, has been carefully adjusted at the factory, and should require no further attention. If this small relay has been disturbed, refer to the section under ADJUSTMENTS. TARGET AND SEAL-IN UNIT There is a target and seal-in unit mounted on the top left of the relay. This unit has its coil in series and its contacts in parallel with the main contacts of the telephone-type relay. When the telephone-type relay contacts close, the seal-in unit operates, raising its target into view and sealing around the telephone-type contacts. The target of this unit will remain exposed until released by pushing a button beneath the lower left corner of the cover of the relay case. CASE The case is suitable for surface or semi-flush panel mounting, and an assortment of hardware is provided for either method. The cover attaches to the case, and carries the target reset mechanism for the trip indicator and instantaneous unit. Each cover screw has provision for a sealing wire. The case has studs or screw connections at the bottom for the external connections. The electrical connections between the relay unit and the case studs are made through spring-backed contact fingers mounted in stationary molded inner and outer blocks, between which rests a removable connecting plug that completes the circuit. The outer block, attached to the case, holds the studs for the external connections, and the inner block has terminals for the internal connections. The relay mechanism is mounted in a steel framework called the cradle, and is a complete unit, with all leads terminating at the inner block. This cradle is held firmly in the case by a latch at the top and bottom and a guide pin at the back of the case. The case and cradle are so constructed that the relay cannot be inserted in the case upside down. The connecting plug, besides making the electrical connection between the blocks of the cradle and case, also locks the latch in place. The cover, which is fastened to the case by thumbscrews, holds the connecting plug in place. To draw out the relay unit, the cover is removed and the plug is drawn out. Shorting bars are provided in the case to short the current-transformer circuits 16

30 TAP PLUG POSITIONING ADJUSTMENTS To obtain a minimum unbalance current in the differential circuit, means are Ratio Matching Adjustment errors or faults in the current transformer winding, or small faults within the substituting the voltage reading and tap rating into the following equation: Figures 10 and 11). When a perfect match of relay currents is obtained by the higher voltmeter readings, the approximate unbalance current may be calculated by voltmeter reads 1.5 volts or less, the unbalance current entering or leaving a given tap equals approximately 0.03 times the voltmeter reading times the tap rating. For matching current-transformer ratios in the field. It is also useful in detecting ratio matching taps, the voltmeter will read 0, indicating no unbalance. If the transformer. This may be done by connecting the meter across terminals 8 and 9 (see (1000 or more ohms per volt) across the secondary of the differential current Provision is made for temporarily connecting a 5 V high resistance AC voltmeter flowing in the differential circuit without disturbing the relay connections. The type STD relays have a special arrangement for measuring the unbalance current power transformer itself, where the fault current is too low to operate the relay. Unbalance current measurement is useful in checking the best tap setting when Unbalance Current Measurement winding. overheating may result If more than one plug is connected to any one in any horizontal row of tap holes. Inaccurate calibration and should be made after changing taps, to ensure that only one plug Is left positions, in order to prevent open circuiting a CT secondary. A check The connection plug must be removed from the relay before changing tap in each of the power transformer windings. The selection of taps should be guided locations which most nearly match the expected CT currents for the same kva assumed amperes for each line current transformer. The tap plugs should be moved to the (1.74), 5.0 (1.0), 4.6 (0.92), 3.8 (0.76), 3.5 (0.7), 3.2 (0.64), and 2.9 (0.58) transformer ratios.

This extent required to operate the relay, for various percent slope tap settings, and through at least two pairs of windings in order to ensure that the connections are correct. currents expressed as percentage of tap. To ensure a margin of safety against false operation, the unbalance voltage should not exceed 75% of that required to operate measured tap current. For a three winding bank, this must be checked with load on The unbalance percentage equals 100 times the unbalance current divided by the The curves in Figure 17 show the approximate voltage across terminals 8 and 9 x Tap

31 GEK This curve represents the STD relay characteristic. Measurement of a voltage across studs 8 and 9 which is 75% or less of the value given on the curve, does not necessarily indicate that the relay will operate at higher through current values. This is especially true where very high through-faults may cause saturation. Small rectifier-type AC voltmeters are suitable for the measurement of unbalance. The voltmeter should not be left permanently connected, since the shunt current it draws reduces the relay sensitivity. PERCENT SLOPE SETTING Scribe marks for 15, 25 and 40% slope settings are provided in both the STIllS and STDI6 relays. It is common practice to use the 25% setting unless special connections make it advisable to use one of the others. See the corresponding heading under CALCULATIONS for further details. TARGETS OPERATION Targets are provided for both the seal-in unit and the instantaneous overcurrent unit. In the event of an internal fault, one or both of these units will operate, depending upon the fault magnitude. This will produce a target indication of the particular unit which operates. After a fault is cleared, the target should be reset by the reset slide located at the lower left hand corner of the relay. DISABLING OF TYPE STD RELAY r CAUTION When bypassing a breaker for maintenance, it will be necessary to disable the relay to prevent false tripping. If the disabling of the relay is done by a remote switch, rather than by removing the relay connection plug, the following precautions should be taken: 1. The relay must be disabled by short-circuiting studs 8 and 9 of the relay, or by opening the trip circuit at stud If the CT secondaries are short-circuited as part of the disabling procedure, the trip circuit should be opened at stud 1, and studs 8 and 9 should be shortcircuited first. It is not sufficient to rely on short circuiting the CT secondaries alone, because any difference in time of shorting them may cause false tripping.
