1. Introduction

1.1 Features

• Residual overvoltage protection

• Definite-time (DT) operation
• Residual voltage measurement with open-delta connected voltage transformers or
by digital addition of phase voltage signals
• Two alternative measuring principles: the average value of consecutive
instantaneous peak-to-peak values of voltage or the numerically calculated
fundamental frequency voltage

1.2 Application

This document specifies the functions of the residual overvoltage protection function
blocks ROV1Low, ROV1High and ROV1Inst used in products based on the RED 500
Platform. The three stages are identical in operation.

The residual overvoltage protection function blocks are designed for sensitive earth-
fault protection. Suppression of harmonics is possible.

2. Description of Operation

2.1 Configuration

Residual voltage Uo can be measured using an open delta connection of conventional

voltage transformers. The measuring devices and signal types for analogue channels
are selected and configured in a special dialogue box of the Relay Configuration Tool
included in the CAP 505 Tool Box. Digital inputs are configured in the same
programming environment (the number of selectable analogue inputs, digital inputs
and digital outputs depends on the hardware variant).

When the analogue channels and digital inputs have been selected and configured in
the dialogue box, the inputs and outputs of the function block can be configured on a
graphic worksheet of the configuration tool. The residual voltage Uo can be connected
to the Uo input of the function block. Furthermore, digital inputs are connected to the
boolean inputs of the function block and the outputs of the function block are
connected to the output signals.

2.2 Measuring mode

The function block operates on two alternative measuring principles: the average
value of consecutive instantaneous peak-to-peak values or the numerically calculated
fundamental frequency component of the residual voltage. An MMI parameter or a
serial communication parameter can be used for selecting the measuring mode.

With both the measuring principles, the operation is insensitive to the DC component
and the operation accuracy is defined in the frequency range f/fn=0.95...1.05. In peak-
to-peak measurement, the harmonics of the residual voltage are not suppressed,
whereas in fundamental frequency measurement the harmonics suppression is at least
-50 dB at f = n x fn, where n = 2, 3, 4, 5,...

2.3 Operation criteria

The function block starts when the residual voltage of the busbar system exceeds the
set start voltage. When the function block starts, the signal START is set to TRUE.
Should the duration of the earth-fault exceed the set definite operate time, the function
block operates. The delay of the heavy-duty output relay is included in the total
operate time. When the function block operates, the signal TRIP is set to TRUE.

The DT timer will be allowed to run only if the signal BS1 is inactive, i.e. its value is
FALSE. When the blocking signal BS1 becomes active, i.e. its value turns to TRUE,
the timer will be stopped (frozen).

4
 Substation Automation ROV1 _

When the blocking signal BS2 is active, the TRIP signal cannot be activated. The
TRIP signal can be blocked by activating the signal BS2 until the function block
drops off.

2.4 Setting groups

Two different groups of setting values, group 1 and group 2, are available for the
function block. Switching between the two groups can be done in the following three
ways:

1 Locally via the control parameter “Group selection”1) of the MMI

2 Over the communication bus by writing the parameter V21)
3 By means of the input signal GROUP when allowed via the parameter “Group
selection” (i.e. when V2 = 21)).
1)
Group selection (V2): 0 = Group 1; 1 = Group 2; 2 = GROUP input

The control parameter “Active group” indicates the setting group valid at a given
time.

2.5 Test mode

The digital outputs of the function block can be activated with separate control
parameters for each output either locally via the MMI or externally via the serial
communication. When an output is activated with the test parameter, an event
indicating the test is generated.

The protection functions operate normally while the outputs are tested.

2.6 START and TRIP outputs

The output signal START is always pulse-shaped. The minimum pulse width of the
corresponding output signal is set via a separate parameter on the MMI or the serial
communication. If the start situation is longer than the set pulse width, the START
signal remains active until the start situation is over. The output signal TRIP may be
non-latching or latching. When the latching mode has been selected, the TRIP signal
remains active until the output is reset even if the operation criteria have reset.

2.7 Resetting

The TRIP output signal and the registers can be reset either via the RESET input, or
over the serial bus or the local MMI.

The operation indicators, latched trip signal and recorded data can be reset as follows:

3. Parameters and Events

3.1 General

• Each function block has a specific channel number for serial communication
parameters and events. The channel for ROV1Low is 44, that for ROV1High 45
and that for ROV1Inst 46.
• The data direction of the parameters defines the use of each parameter as follows:
Data direction Description
R, R/M Read only
W Write only
R/W Read and write

• The different event mask parameters (see section “Control settings”) affect the
visibility of events on the MMI or on serial communication (LON or SPA) as
follows:
Event mask 1 (FxxxV101/102) SPA / MMI (LON)
Event mask 2 (FxxxV103/104) LON
Event mask 3 (FxxxV105/106) LON
Event mask 4 (FxxxV107/108) LON

For example, if only the events E3, E4 and E5 are to be seen on the MMI of the
relay terminal, the event mask value 56 (8 + 16 + 32) is written to the “Event mask
1” parameter (FxxxV101).
In case a function block includes more than 32 events, there are two parameters
instead of e.g. the “Event mask 1” parameter: the parameter “Event mask 1A”
(FxxxV101) covers the events 0...31 and “Event mask 1B”(FxxxV102) the events
32...63.

3.3.3 Recorded data

The information required for later fault analysis is recorded when the function block
starts, trips, or when the recording function is triggered via the external TRIGG input.

The data of three last operations (operation 1...3) are recorded and the values of the
most recent operation always replace the data of the oldest operation. The registers
are updated in the following order: Operation 1, Operation 2, Operation 3, Operation
1, Operation 2,...

3.3.3.1 Date and time

The time stamp indicates the rising edge of the START, TRIP or TRIGG signal.

10
 Substation Automation ROV1 _

3.3.3.2 Duration

The duration of the start situation is recorded as a percentage of the set operate time.

3.3.3.3 Residual voltage

If the function block trips, the voltage value is updated at the moment of tripping i.e.
on the rising edge of the TRIP signal. At external triggering, the voltage value is
updated at the moment of triggering i.e. on the rising edge of the input signal TRIGG.
If the function block starts but does not trip, the residual voltage value captured one
fundamental cycle (20 ms at rated frequency 50 Hz) after the beginning of the start
situation will be recorded. The value of the residual voltage Uo is recorded as a
percentage value of the rated voltage Un.

3.3.3.4 Status data

The status data of the input signals BS1 and BS2 as well as the “Active group”
parameter are recorded at the moment of triggering. The “Active group” parameter
indicates the setting group valid for the recorded data.

3.3.3.5 Priority

The priority of the recording function is the following:

1 Tripping
2 Starting
3 External triggering,
which means that if the function block has started, it will neglect an external
triggering request.
