2 FOREWORD
This technical manual provides a functional and technical description of General Electric's P94V, as well as a
comprehensive set of instructions for using the device. The level at which this manual is written assumes that you
are already familiar with protection engineering and have experience in this discipline. The description of principles
and theory is limited to that which is necessary to understand the product. For further details on general
protection engineering theory, we refer you to General Electric's publication NPAG, which is available online or
from our contact centre.
We have attempted to make this manual as accurate, comprehensive and user-friendly as possible. However we
cannot guarantee that it is free from errors. Nor can we state that it cannot be improved. We would therefore be
very pleased to hear from you if you discover any errors, or have any suggestions for improvement. Our policy is to
provide the information necessary to help you safely specify, engineer, install, commission, maintain, and
eventually dispose of this product. We consider that this manual provides the necessary information, but if you

P94V Chapter 1 - Introduction
2.3 NOMENCLATURE
Due to the technical nature of this manual, many special terms, abbreviations and acronyms are used throughout
the manual. Some of these terms are well-known industry-specific terms while others may be special product-
specific terms used by General Electric. The first instance of any acronym or term used in a particular chapter is
explained. In addition, a separate glossary is available on the General Electric website, or from the General Electric
contact centre.
We would like to highlight the following changes of nomenclature however:
● The word 'relay' is no longer used to describe the device itself. Instead, the device is referred to as the 'IED'
(Intelligent Electronic Device), the 'device', or the 'product'. The word 'relay' is used purely to describe the
electromechanical components within the device, i.e. the output relays.
● British English is used throughout this manual.
● The British term 'Earth' is used in favour of the American term 'Ground'.
2.4 COMPLIANCE
The device has undergone a range of extensive testing and certification processes to ensure and prove
compatibility with all target markets. A detailed description of these criteria can be found in the Technical
Specifications chapter.
P94V-TM-EN-10.2 5
Chapter 1 - Introduction P94V
3 PRODUCT SCOPE
The P94V Voltage and Frequency IED has been designed for the protection of a wide range of overhead lines and
underground cables for distribution voltage level. The P94V provides integral overvoltage/undervoltage and
overfrequency/underfrequency detection.
In addition to the protection features, the devices include a comprehensive range of non-protection features to aid
with power system diagnosis and fault analysis.
The P94V can be used in various applications, depending on the chosen firmware. There are two different models
according to which firmware is installed: P94VB, P94VP
● The P94VB is the base device for general application
● The P94VP is for check synchronising applications
● The P94VR provides all the features of the P94VP but also provides Autoreclose functionality
All models are available with a range of Input/Output options, which are described in the hardware design chapter
and summarised in the ordering options.
A major advantage of the P40 Agile platform is its backward compatibility with the K-series products. The P40 Agile
products have been designed such that the case, back panel terminal layout and pin-outs are identical to their K-
series predecessors and can be retrofitted without the usual overhead associated with replacing and rewiring
devices. This allows easy upgrade of the protection system with minimum impact and minimum shutdown time of
the feeder.

5 LOGIC DIAGRAMS
This technical manual contains many logic diagrams, which should help to explain the functionality of the device.
Although this manual has been designed to be as specific as possible to the chosen product, it may contain
diagrams, which have elements applicable to other products. If this is the case, a qualifying note will accompany
the relevant part.
The logic diagrams follow a convention for the elements used, using defined colours and shapes. A key to this
convention is provided below. We recommend viewing the logic diagrams in colour rather than in black and white.
The electronic version of the technical manual is in colour, but the printed version may not be. If you need coloured
diagrams, they can be provided on request by calling the contact centre and quoting the diagram number.

enclosure, as defined by Underwriters Laboratories (UL).
Caution:
To maintain compliance with UL and CSA/CUL, install the equipment using UL/CSA-
recognised parts for: cables, protective fuses, fuse holders and circuit breakers,
insulation crimp terminals, and replacement internal batteries.
Caution:
Where UL/CSA listing of the equipment is required for external fuse protection, a UL or
CSA Listed fuse must be used for the auxiliary supply. The listed protective fuse type is:
Class J time delay fuse, with a maximum current rating of 15 A and a minimum DC
rating of 250 V dc (for example type AJT15).
Caution:
Where UL/CSA listing of the equipment is not required, a high rupture capacity (HRC)
fuse type with a maximum current rating of 16 Amps and a minimum dc rating of 250 V
dc may be used for the auxiliary supply (for example Red Spot type NIT or TIA).
For P50 models, use a 1A maximum T-type fuse.
For P60 models, use a 4A maximum T-type fuse.
P94V-TM-EN-10.2 19
Chapter 2 - Safety Information P94V
Caution:
Digital input circuits should be protected by a high rupture capacity NIT or TIA fuse with
maximum rating of 16 A. for safety reasons, current transformer circuits must never be
fused. Other circuits should be appropriately fused to protect the wire used.
Caution:
CTs must NOT be fused since open circuiting them may produce lethal hazardous
voltages
Warning:
Terminals exposed during installation, commissioning and maintenance may present a
hazardous voltage unless the equipment is electrically isolated.
Caution:
Tighten M4 clamping screws of heavy duty terminal block connectors to a nominal
torque of 1.3 Nm.
Tighten captive screws of terminal blocks to 0.5 Nm minimum and 0.6 Nm maximum.
Caution:
Always use insulated crimp terminations for voltage and current connections.
Caution:
Always use the correct crimp terminal and tool according to the wire size.
Caution:
Watchdog (self-monitoring) contacts are provided to indicate the health of the device
on some products. We strongly recommend that you hard wire these contacts into the
substation's automation system, for alarm purposes.
Caution:
Earth the equipment with the supplied PCT (Protective Conductor Terminal).
Caution:
Do not remove the PCT.
Caution:
The PCT is sometimes used to terminate cable screens. Always check the PCT’s integrity
after adding or removing such earth connections.
20 P94V-TM-EN-10.2
P94V Chapter 2 - Safety Information
Caution:
Use a locknut or similar mechanism to ensure the integrity of stud-connected PCTs.
Caution:
The recommended minimum PCT wire size is 2.5 mm² for countries whose mains supply
is 230 V (e.g. Europe) and 3.3 mm² for countries whose mains supply is 110 V (e.g. North
America). This may be superseded by local or country wiring regulations.
For P60 products, the recommended minimum PCT wire size is 6 mm². See product
documentation for details.
Caution:
The PCT connection must have low-inductance and be as short as possible.
Caution:
All connections to the equipment must have a defined potential. Connections that are
pre-wired, but not used, should be earthed, or connected to a common grouped
potential.
Caution:

Caution:
Check CT circuit rating (rating label) and integrity of connections.
Caution:
Check protective fuse or miniature circuit breaker (MCB) rating.
Caution:
Check integrity of the PCT connection.
Caution:
Check voltage and current rating of external wiring, ensuring it is appropriate for the
application.
Warning:
Do not open the secondary circuit of a live CT since the high voltage produced may be
lethal to personnel and could damage insulation. Short the secondary of the line CT
before opening any connections to it.
P94V-TM-EN-10.2 21
Chapter 2 - Safety Information P94V
Note:
For most General Electric equipment with ring-terminal connections, the threaded terminal block for current transformer
termination is automatically shorted if the module is removed. Therefore external shorting of the CTs may not be required.
Check the equipment documentation and wiring diagrams first to see if this applies.
Caution:
Where external components such as resistors or voltage dependent resistors (VDRs) are
used, these may present a risk of electric shock or burns if touched.
Warning:
Take extreme care when using external test blocks and test plugs such as the MMLG,
MMLB and P990, as hazardous voltages may be exposed. Ensure that CT shorting links
are in place before removing test plugs, to avoid potentially lethal voltages.
Warning:
Data communication cables with accessible screens and/or screen conductors,
(including optical fibre cables with metallic elements), may create an electric shock
hazard in a sub-station environment if both ends of the cable screen are not connected
to the same equipotential bonded earthing system.
i. The installation shall include all necessary protection measures to ensure that no
fault currents can flow in the connected cable screen conductor.
ii. The connected cable shall have its screen conductor connected to the protective
conductor terminal (PCT) of the connected equipment at both ends. This connection
may be inherent in the connectors provided on the equipment but, if there is any doubt,
this must be confirmed by a continuity test.
iii. The protective conductor terminal (PCT) of each piece of connected equipment shall
be connected directly to the same equipotential bonded earthing system.
iv. If, for any reason, both ends of the cable screen are not connected to the same
equipotential bonded earth system, precautions must be taken to ensure that such
screen connections are made safe before work is done to, or in proximity to, any such
cables.
vi. Equipment temporarily connected to this product for maintenance purposes shall be
protectively earthed (if the temporary equipment is required to be protectively
earthed), directly to the same equipotential bonded earthing system as the product.
Warning:
Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) modules which provide copper Ethernet connections
typically do not provide any additional safety isolation. Copper Ethernet SFP modules
must only be used in connector positions intended for this type of connection.

2 HARDWARE ARCHITECTURE
The main components comprising devices based on the P40Agile platform are as follows:
● The housing, consisting of a front panel and connections at the rear
● The Main processor module consisting of the main CPU (Central Processing Unit), memory and an interface
to the front panel HMI (Human Machine Interface)
● An I/O board consisting of output relay contacts and digital opto-inputs
● Communication modules
● Power supply
All modules are connected by a parallel data and address bus, which allows the processor module to send and
receive information to and from the other modules as required. There is also a separate serial data bus for
conveying sampled data from the input module to the CPU. These parallel and serial databuses are shown as a
single interconnection module in the following figure, which shows typical modules and the flow of data between
them.

3 MECHANICAL IMPLEMENTATION
All products based on the P40Agile platform have common hardware architecture. The hardware comprises two
main parts; the cradle and the housing.
The cradle consists of the front panel which is attached to a carrier board into which all of the hardware boards
and modules are connected. The products have been designed such that all the boards and modules comprising
the product are fixed into the cradle and are not intended to be removed or inserted after the product has left the
factory.
The housing comprises the housing metalwork and connectors at the rear into which the boards in the cradle plug
into.
32 P94V-TM-EN-10.2
P94V Chapter 3 - Hardware Design
The products are available in panel-mount or standalone versions. All products are nominally 4U high. This equates
to 177.8 mm or 7 inches.
The cases are pre-finished steel with a conductive covering of aluminium and zinc. This provides good grounding
at all joints, providing a low resistance path to earth that is essential for performance in the presence of external
noise.
The case width depends on the product type and its hardware options. There are three different case widths for
the described range of products: 20TE, 30TE and 40TE. The products in the P40Agile range can be used as a K-
series refit and the cases, cradle, and pin-outs are completely inter-compatible. The case dimensions and
compatibility criteria are as follows:

A read key for viewing larger blocks of text (arrow keys now used for
scrolling)
2 hot keys for scrolling through the default display and for control of
setting groups. These are situated directly below the LCD display.
The port is intended for temporary connection during testing, installation and commissioning. It is not intended to
be used for permanent SCADA communications. This port supports the Courier communication protocol only.
Courier is a proprietary communication protocol to allow communication with a range of protection equipment,
and between the device and the Windows-based support software package.
You can connect the unit to a PC with a USB cable up to 5 m in length.
The inactivity timer for the front port is set to 15 minutes. This controls how long the unit maintains its level of
password access on the front port. If no messages are received on the front port for 15 minutes, any password
access level that has been enabled is cancelled.
Note:
The front USB port does not support automatic extraction of event and disturbance records, although this data can be
accessed manually.
Caution:
When not in use, always close the cover of the USB port to prevent contamination.

The software can be divided into a number of functions as illustrated above. Each function is further broken down
into a number of separate tasks. These tasks are then run according to a scheduler. They are run at either a fixed
rate or they are event driven. The tasks communicate with each other as required.

At the conclusion of the initialization software the supervisor task begins the process of starting the platform
software.
At the successful conclusion of all of these tests the unit is entered into service and the application software is
started up.

P94V Chapter 4 - Software Design
4 PLATFORM SOFTWARE
The platform software has three main functions:
● To control the logging of records generated by the protection software, including alarms, events, faults, and
maintenance records
● To store and maintain a database of all of the settings in non-volatile memory
● To provide the internal interface between the settings database and the user interfaces, using the front
panel interface and the front and rear communication ports
The logs are maintained such that the oldest record is overwritten with the newest record. The logging function
can be initiated from the protection software. The platform software is responsible for logging a maintenance
record in the event of an IED failure. This includes errors that have been detected by the platform software itself or
errors that are detected by either the system services or the protection software function. See the Monitoring and
Control chapter for further details on record logging.
4.3 INTERFACES
The settings and measurements database must be accessible from all of the interfaces to allow read and modify
operations. The platform software presents the data in the appropriate format for each of the interfaces (LCD
display, keypad and all the communications interfaces).

Maintenance records are created in a similar manner, with the supervisor task instructing the platform software to
log a record when it receives a maintenance record message. However, it is possible that a maintenance record
may be triggered by a fatal error in the relay in which case it may not be possible to successfully store a
maintenance record, depending on the nature of the problem.

1 CHAPTER OVERVIEW
Each product has different configuration parameters according to the functions it has been designed to perform.
There is, however, a common methodology used across the entire product series to set these parameters.
Some of the communications setup can only be carried out using the HMI, and cannot be carried out using
settings applications software. This chapter includes concise instructions of how to configure the device,
particularly with respect to the communications setup, as well as a description of the common methodology used
to configure the device in general.

Even though the device itself should be in full working order when you first start it, an alarm could still be present,
for example, if there is no network connection for a device fitted with a network card. If this is the case, you can
read the alarm by pressing the 'Read' key.

If the device is fitted with an Ethernet card, you will first need to connect the device to an active Ethernet network
to clear the alarm and get the default display.
If there are other alarms present, these must also be cleared before you can get into the default display menu
options.

You will have to confirm with the Enter button before you can go any further.
Note:
Whenever the IED has an uncleared alarm the default display is replaced by the text Alarms/ Faults present. You cannot
override this default display. However, you can enter the menu structure from the default display, even if the display shows
the Alarms/Faults present message.
Enter Password
1. A flashing cursor shows which character field of the password can be changed. Press the up or down cursor
keys to change each character (tip: pressing the up arrow once will return an upper case "A" as required by
the default level 3 password).
2. Use the left and right cursor keys to move between the character fields of the password.
3. Press the Enter key to confirm the password. If you enter an incorrect password, an invalid password
message is displayed then the display reverts to Enter password. On entering a valid password a message
appears indicating that the password is correct and which level of access has been unlocked. If this level is
sufficient to edit the selected setting, the display returns to the setting page to allow the edit to continue. If
the correct level of password has not been entered, the password prompt page appears again.
4. To escape from this prompt press the Clear key. Alternatively, enter the password using the Password
setting in the SYSTEM DATA column. If the keypad is inactive for 15 minutes, the password protection of the
front panel user interface reverts to the default access level.
To manually reset the password protection to the default level, select Password, then press the CLEAR key instead
of entering a password.
Note:
In the SECURITY CONFIG column, you can set the maximum number of attemps, the time window in which the failed attempts
are counted and the time duration for which the user is blocked.

and leave the alarms uncleared, press the Read key.
4. Depending on the password configuration settings, you may need to enter a password before the alarm
messages can be cleared.
5. When all alarms are cleared, the yellow alarm LED switches off. If the red LED was on, this will also be
switched off.
Note:
To speed up the procedure, you can enter the alarm viewer using the Read key and subsequently pressing the Clear key. This
goes straight to the fault record display. Press the Clear key again to move straight to the alarm reset prompt, then press the

It is convenient to specify all the settings in a single column, detailing the complete Courier address for each
setting. The above table may therefore be represented as follows:

The first three column headers are common throughout much of the product ranges. However the rows within
each of these column headers may differ according to the product type. Many of the column headers are the
same for all products within the series. However, there is no guarantee that the addresses will be the same for a
particular column header. Therefore you should always refer to the product settings documentation and not make
any assumptions.

8. Press the Enter key to confirm the new setting value or the Clear key to discard it. The new setting is
automatically discarded if it is not confirmed within 15 seconds.
9. For protection group settings and disturbance recorder settings, the changes must be confirmed before
they are used. When all required changes have been entered, return to the column heading level and press
the Down cursor key. Before returning to the default display, the following prompt appears.

The next cell down (Fn Key 1) allows you to activate or disable the first function key (1). The Lock setting allows a
function key to be locked. This allows function keys that are set to Toggled mode and their DDB signal active
‘high’, to be locked in their active state, preventing any further key presses from deactivating the associated
function. Locking a function key that is set to the Normal mode causes the associated DDB signals to be
permanently off. This safety feature prevents any inadvertent function key presses from activating or deactivating
critical functions.

The next cell down (Fn Key 1 Mode) allows you to set the function key to Normal or Toggled. In the Toggle mode
the function key DDB signal output stays in the set state until a reset command is given, by activating the function
key on the next key press. In the Normal mode, the function key DDB signal stays energised for as long as the
function key is pressed then resets automatically. If required, a minimum pulse width can be programmed by
adding a minimum pulse timer to the function key DDB output signal.

Chapter 6 - Voltage Protection Functions P94V
2 UNDERVOLTAGE PROTECTION
Undervoltage conditions may occur on a power system for a variety of reasons, some of which are outlined below:
● Undervoltage conditions can be related to increased loads, whereby the supply voltage will decrease in
magnitude. This situation would normally be rectified by voltage regulating equipment such as AVRs (Auto
Voltage Regulators) or On Load Tap Changers. However, failure of this equipment to bring the system
voltage back within permitted limits leaves the system with an undervoltage condition, which must be
cleared.
● If the regulating equipment is unsuccessful in restoring healthy system voltage, then tripping by means of
an undervoltage element is required.
● Faults occurring on the power system result in a reduction in voltage of the faulty phases. The proportion by
which the voltage decreases is dependent on the type of fault, method of system earthing and its location.
Consequently, co-ordination with other voltage and current-based protection devices is essential in order to
achieve correct discrimination.
● Complete loss of busbar voltage. This may occur due to fault conditions present on the incomer or busbar
itself, resulting in total isolation of the incoming power supply. For this condition, it may be necessary to
isolate each of the outgoing circuits, such that when supply voltage is restored, the load is not connected.
Therefore, the automatic tripping of a feeder on detection of complete loss of voltage may be required. This
can be achieved by a three-phase undervoltage element.
● Where outgoing feeders from a busbar are supplying induction motor loads, excessive dips in the supply
may cause the connected motors to stall, and should be tripped for voltage reductions that last longer than
a pre-determined time.
You set this using the V<1 Function and V<3 Function cells depending on the stage.
The IDMT characteristic is defined by the following formula:
t = K/( M-1)
where:
● K = Time multiplier setting
● t = Operating time in seconds
● M = Measured voltage / IED setting voltage
The undervoltage stages can be configured either as phase-to-neutral or phase-to-phase voltages in the
V< Measure't mode cell.
There is no Timer Hold facility for Undervoltage.
Stage 2 can have definite time characteristics only. This is set in the V<2 status cell.
Three stages are included in order to provide multiple output types, such as alarm and trip stages. Alternatively,
different time settings may be required depending upon the severity of the voltage dip. For example, motor loads
will be able to cope with a small voltage dip for a longer time than a major one.

V00803
Figure 17: Undervoltage - single and three phase tripping mode (single stage)
The Undervoltage protection function detects when the voltage magnitude for a certain stage falls short of a set
threshold. If this happens a Start signal, signifying the "Start of protection", is produced. This Start signal can be
blocked by the VTS Fast Block signal and an All Poles Dead signal. This Start signal is applied to the timer module
to produce the Trip signal, which can be blocked by the undervoltage timer block signal (V<(n) Timer Block). For
each stage, there are three Phase undervoltage detection modules, one for each phase. The three Start signals
from each of these phases are OR'd together to create a 3-phase Start signal (V<(n) Start), which can be be
activated when any of the three phases start (Any Phase), or when all three phases start (Three Phase), depending
on the chosen V< Operate Mode setting.
The outputs of the timer modules are the trip signals which are used to drive the tripping output relay. These
tripping signals are also OR'd together to create a 3-phase Trip signal, which are also controlled by the V< Operate
Mode setting.
If any one of the above signals is low, or goes low before the timer has counted out, the timer module is inhibited
(effectively reset) until the blocking signal goes high.
In some cases, we do not want the undervoltage element to trip; for example, when the protected feeder is de-
energised, or the circuit breaker is opened, an undervoltage condition would obviously be detected, but we would
not want to start protection. To cater for this, an All Poles Dead signal blocks the Start signal for each phase. This
is controlled by the V<Poledead Inh cell, which is included for each of the stages. If the cell is enabled, the relevant
stage will be blocked by the integrated pole dead logic. This logic produces an output when it detects either an

open circuit breaker via auxiliary contacts feeding the opto-inputs or it detects a combination of both
undercurrent and undervoltage on any one phase.
76 P94V-TM-EN-10.2
P94V Chapter 6 - Voltage Protection Functions
3 OVERVOLTAGE PROTECTION
Overvoltage conditions are generally related to loss of load conditions, whereby the supply voltage increases in
magnitude. This situation would normally be rectified by voltage regulating equipment such as AVRs (Auto Voltage
Regulators) or On Load Tap Changers. However, failure of this equipment to bring the system voltage back within
permitted limits leaves the system with an overvoltage condition which must be cleared.
Note:
During earth fault conditions on a power system there may be an increase in the healthy phase voltages. Ideally, the system
should be designed to withstand such overvoltages for a defined period of time.
You set this using the V>1 Function and V>3 Function cells depending on the stage.
The IDMT characteristic is defined by the following formula:
t = K/( M - 1)
where:
● K = Time multiplier setting
● t = Operating time in seconds
● M = Measured voltage setting voltage (V> Voltage Set)
The overvoltage stages can be configured either as phase-to-neutral or phase-to-phase voltages in the
V> Measure't mode cell.
There is no Timer Hold facility for Overvoltage.
Stage 2 has definite time characteristics only. This is set in the V>2 status cell.
Three stages are included in order to provide multiple output types, such as alarm and trip stages. Alternatively,
different time settings may be required depending upon the severity of the voltage increase.
Outputs are available for single or three-phase conditions via the V> Operate Mode cell for each stage.

Figure 18: Overvoltage - single and three phase tripping mode (single stage)
The Overvoltage protection function detects when the voltage magnitude for a certain stage exceeds a set
threshold. If this happens a Start signal, signifying the "Start of protection", is produced. This Start signal can be
blocked by the VTS Fast Block signal. This start signal is applied to the timer module to produce the Trip signal,
which can be blocked by the overvoltage timer block signal (V>(n) Timer Block). For each stage, there are three
Phase overvoltage detection modules, one for each phase. The three Start signals from each of these phases are
OR'd together to create a 3-phase Start signal (V>(n) Start), which can then be activated when any of the three
phases start (Any Phase), or when all three phases start (Three Phase), depending on the chosen V> Operate Mode
setting.
The outputs of the timer modules are the trip signals which are used to drive the tripping output relay. These
tripping signals are also OR'd together to create a 3-phase Trip signal, which are also controlled by the V> Operate
Mode setting.
If any one of the above signals is low, or goes low before the timer has counted out, the timer module is inhibited
(effectively reset) until the blocking signal goes high.

produced by passing the Start signal through a DT timer.
The function also produces three-phase Start and Trip signals, which can be set to Any Phase (where any of the
phases can trigger the start) or Three Phase (where all three phases are required to trigger the start). The
averaging buffer is reset either when the stage is disabled or no frequency is found (Freq Not Found DDB signal).

You set this using the VN>1 Function and VN>3 Function cells depending on the stage.

The residual voltage may be derived from the phase voltages (Vres = Va + Vb +Vc) or measured from the 4th VT
input.
In the CT AND VT RATIOS column, the VN Input setting may be set to Measured or Derived, this is used to
select the type of neutral voltage.
The device derives the residual voltage internally from the three-phase voltage inputs supplied from either a 5-limb
VT or three single-phase VTs. These types of VT design provide a path for the residual flux and consequently permit

the device to derive the required residual voltage. In addition, the primary star point of the VT must be earthed.
Three-limb VTs have no path for residual flux and are therefore unsuitable for this type of protection.

The Residual Overvoltage module (VN>) is a level detector that detects when the voltage magnitude exceeds a set
threshold, for each stage. When this happens, the comparator output produces a Start signal (VN>(n) Start), which
signifies the "Start of protection". This can be blocked by a VTS Fast block signal. This Start signal is applied to the
timer module. The output of the timer module is the VN> (n) Trip signal which is used to drive the tripping output
relay.

As can be seen from the above diagram, the residual voltage measured on a solidly earthed system is solely
dependent on the ratio of source impedance behind the protection to the line impedance in front of the protection,
up to the point of fault. For a remote fault far away, the ZS/ZL: ratio will be small, resulting in a correspondingly
small residual voltage. Therefore, the protection only operates for faults up to a certain distance along the system.
The maximum distance depends on the device setting.

An impedance earthed system will always generate a relatively large degree of residual voltage, as the zero
sequence source impedance now includes the earthing impedance. It follows then that the residual voltage
generated by an earth fault on an insulated system will be the highest possible value (3 x phase-neutral voltage),
as the zero sequence source impedance is infinite.

As protection method requires the device to be placed in a primary circuit location, all
relevant safety measures must be in place.

Where If is the total fault current which would flow in an NVD relay (neglecting the impedance of the relay itself),
then knowing this current (If) and the input impedance of the relay (Rr) we can calculate the voltage produced
across it (Vr) during a fault condition:
Vr = If x Rr
Therefore, we would recommend setting the relay to less than half this voltage:
Vs < Vr/2
Practical Application
In practice, the device’s input impedance varies with voltage, which will have some effect on actual settings.
Therefore, we recommend the use a 23½kΩ resistor combination in parallel with this input, to fix the impedance.
This value is achieved by the use of two 47kΩ resistors in parallel. Utilising two resistors in parallel also gives
increased security.
The resistors used must have a continuous working voltage rating of 5kVdc minimum and a minimum power
rating of 1W.
Warning:
There is the risk of high voltage developing on removal of the device or PCB from its
case. Fixed resistors on the device input will prevent this, but we would also
recommend use of an externally connected shorting contact.
Note:
A suitable shorting contact is available on each device. Please see diagram, below.

The Negative Voltage Sequence Overvoltage module detects when the voltage magnitude exceeds a set
threshold. When this happens, the comparator output Overvoltage Module produces a Start signal (e.g. for stage
1: V2>1 Start), which signifies the "Start of protection". This can be blocked by a VTS Fast block signal. This Start
signal is applied to the DT timer module. The output of the DT timer module is the trip signal which is used to drive
the tripping output relay.
The V2>1 Accelerate signal accelerates the operating time of the function, by reducing the number of confirmation
cycles needed to start the function. At 50 Hz, this means the protection Start is reduced by 20 ms.

3 UNDERFREQUENCY PROTECTION
A reduced system frequency implies that the net load is in excess of the available generation. Such a condition can
arise, when an interconnected system splits, and the load left connected to one of the subsystems is in excess of
the capacity of the generators in that particular subsystem. Industrial plants that are dependent on utilities to
supply part of their loads will experience underfrequency conditions when the incoming lines are lost.
Many types of industrial loads have limited tolerances on the operating frequency and running speeds (e.g.
synchronous motors). Sustained underfrequency has implications on the stability of the system, whereby any
subsequent disturbance may damage equipment and even lead to blackouts. It is therefore essential to provide
protection for underfrequency conditions.

Chapter 7 - Frequency Protection Functions P94V
Time delays should be sufficient to override any transient dips in frequency, as well as to provide time for the
frequency controls in the system to respond. These should not be excessive as this could jeopardize system
stability. Time delay settings of 5 - 20 s are typical.
An example of a four-stage load shedding scheme for 50 Hz systems is shown below:
Stage Element Frequency Setting (Hz) Time Setting (Sec)
1 Stage 1(f+t) 49.0 20 s
2 Stage 2(f+t) 48.6 20 s
3 Stage 3(f+t) 48.2 10 s
4 Stage 4(f+t) 47.8 10 s
The relatively long time delays are intended to provide sufficient time for the system controls to respond. This will
work well in a situation where the decline of system frequency is slow. For situations where rapid decline of
frequency is expected, this load shedding scheme should be supplemented by rate of change of frequency
protection elements.
102 P94V-TM-EN-10.2
P94V Chapter 7 - Frequency Protection Functions
4 OVERFREQUENCY PROTECTION
An increased system frequency arises when the mechanical power input to a generator exceeds the electrical
power output. This could happen, for instance, when there is a sudden loss of load due to tripping of an outgoing
feeder from the plant to a load centre. Under such conditions, the governor would normally respond quickly to
obtain a balance between the mechanical input and electrical output, thereby restoring normal frequency.
Overfrequency protection is required as a backup to cater for cases where the reaction of the control equipment is
too slow.

The relatively long time delays are intended to provide time for the system controls to respond and will work well in
a situation where the increase of system frequency is slow.
For situations where rapid increase of frequency is expected, the protection scheme above could be supplemented
by rate of change of frequency protection elements.
In the system shown below, the generation in the MV bus is sized according to the loads on that bus, whereas the
generators linked to the HV bus produce energy for export to utility. If the links to the grid are lost, the generation
will cause the system frequency to rise. This rate of rise could be used to isolate the MV bus from the HV system.

In this scheme, tripping of the last two stages is accelerated by using the independent rate of change of frequency
element. If the frequency starts falling at a high rate (> 3 Hz/s in this example), then stages 3 & 4 are shed at
around 48.5 Hz, with the objective of improving system stability. Stage 5 serves as an alarm and gives operators
advance warning that the situation is critical.

The device will also indicate when an incorrect setting has been applied if the frequency threshold is set to the

be applied using the PSL if required.

It may be possible to further improve the speed of load shedding by changing the frequency setting on the f+df/dt
element. In the settings outlined below, the frequency settings for this element have been set slightly higher than
the frequency settings for the f+t element. This difference will allow for the measuring time, and will result in the
tripping of the two elements at approximately the same frequency value. Therefore, the slow frequency decline
and fast frequency decline scenarios are independently monitored and optimised without sacrificing system
security.

The following settings are relevant for Df/Dt protection:
● f+Df/Dt (n) Status: determines whether the stage is for falling or rising frequency conditions

In the above scheme, the faster load shed decisions are made by monitoring the frequency change over 500 ms.
Therefore tripping takes place more slowly than in schemes employing frequency-supervised df/dt, but the
difference is not very much at this setting. If the delay jeopardises system stability, then the scheme can be
improved by increasing the independent "f" setting. Depending on how much this value is increased, the frequency
at which the "f+Df/Dt" element will trip also increases and so reduces the time delay under more severe frequency
fluctuations. For example, with the settings shown below, the first stage of load shedding would be tripped
approximately 300 msecs after 49.0 Hz is reached and at a frequency of approximately 48.7 Hz.

If the system frequency remains in the holding band for too long it is likely that other system frequency problems
are occurring and it would be prudent to reset the restoration timer for that stage. For this reason, as soon as the
system frequency is measured to be within the holding band, the "Holding Timer" is initiated. If the system
frequency doesn’t leave the holding band before the holding timer setting has been exceeded, the load restoration
time delay for that stage is immediately reset.
Note:
The holding timer has a common setting for all stages of load restoration.

In this scheme, the time delays ensure that the most critical loads are reconnected (assuming that the higher
stages refer to more important loads). By restoring the load sequentially, system stability should normally be
maintained. These time settings are system dependent; higher or lower settings may be required depending on the
particular application.
It is possible to set up restoration schemes involving multiple frequencies. This allows faster restoration of loads,
but there is the possibility of continuous system operation at frequencies far removed from the nominal. A typical
scheme using two frequencies is illustrated below:
116 P94V-TM-EN-10.2
P94V Chapter 7 - Frequency Protection Functions
Staggered time settings may be used in this scheme as well, but the time separation among the restoration of
stages will be a function of the frequency recovery pattern. Time coordinated restoration can only be guaranteed
for those stages with a common restoration frequency setting.

Chapter 8 - Autoreclose P94V
Autoreclosing provides an important benefit on circuits using time-graded protection, in that it allows the use of
instantaneous protection to provide a high speed first trip. With fast tripping, the duration of the power arc
resulting from an overhead line fault is reduced to a minimum. This lessens the chance of damage to the line,
which might otherwise cause a transient fault to develop into a permanent fault. Using instantaneous protection
also prevents blowing of fuses in teed feeders, as well as reducing circuit breaker maintenance by eliminating pre-
arc heating.
When instantaneous protection is used with autoreclosing, the scheme is normally arranged to block the
instantaneous protection after the first trip. Therefore, if the fault persists after re-closure, the time-graded
protection will provide discriminative tripping resulting in the isolation of the faulted section. However, for certain
applications, where the majority of the faults are likely to be transient, it is common practise to allow more than
one instantaneous trip before the instantaneous protection is blocked.
Some schemes allow a number of re-closures and time-graded trips after the first instantaneous trip, which may
result in the burning out and clearance of semi-permanent faults. Such a scheme may also be used to allow fuses
to operate in teed feeders where the fault current is low.
When considering feeders that are partly overhead line and partly underground cable, any decision to install auto-
reclosing should be subject to analysis of the data (knowledge of the frequency of transient faults). This is because
this type of arrangement probably has a greater proportion of semi-permanent and permanent faults than for
purely overhead feeders. In this case, the advantages of autoreclosing are small. It can even be disadvantageous
because re-closing on to a faulty cable is likely to exacerbate the damage.
122 P94V-TM-EN-10.2
P94V Chapter 8 - Autoreclose
3 IMPLEMENTATION
Autoreclose functionality is a software option, which is selected when ordering the device, so this description only
applies to models with this option.
The P94V does not have any CT inputs, therefore Autoreclose cannot be initiated by an internal current protection
function. It can only be initiated by an external signal originating from another device such as a P14N, P14D, or
P14x. In this case, the relevant opto-input would be mapped to the DDB signal Ext AR Prot Strt and Ext AR Prot
Trip.
The Autoreclose function for P40Agile products with current protection (P14D and P14N) can be started by their
internal SEF protection function which produces an internal SEF Protection Start signal and an internal SEF
Protection Trip signal. These in turn are used to drive internal AR SEF logic. There is one external DDB signal
associated with the SEF logic, which is the Block SEF Protection DDB signal (AR Blk SEF).
The P94V does not provide SEF protection, therefore cannot provide internal SEF protection Start and Trip signals.
However, it is highly desirable to a) keep the Autoreclose internal logic identical to the other products in the range,
and b) continue providing the AR Blk SEF DDB signal in case it needs to be used externally. This allows the device
to be used as an independent Autoreclose device, which can interact with all Alstom products without any
reduction of functionality.
For these reasons, the P94V provides two additional DDB signals - Ext AR SEF Start and Ext AR SEF Trip. These
external signals can start and trip the internal AR SEF logic, which can consequently produce an AR Blk SEF DDB
signal. This signal is therefore available for sending to an external device or feeding back to the initiating device, if
so desired.
The Autoreclose-specific settings are contained in the AUTORECLOSE column. In addition to the settings contained
in this column, the Autoreclose function may also need some settings in other columns such as CB CONTROL and
SYSTEM CHECKS, as well as in the blocking cells of relevant protection columns.
The Autoreclose function can be set to perform a single-shot, two-shot, three-shot or four-shot cycle. You select
this by the Number of Shots cell in the AUTORECLOSE column. You can also initiate a separate Autoreclose cycle
for the SEF protection, with a different number of shots, selected by the Number SEF Shots cell. Dead times for all
shots can be adjusted independently.
The dead time starts in one of two cases; when the circuit breaker has tripped, or when the protection has reset.
You select which method with the Start Dead t On setting.
At the end of the relevant dead time, a CB close 3ph signal is given, providing it is safe for the circuit breaker to
close. This is determined by checking that certain system conditions are met as specified by the System Checks
functionality.
It is safe to close the circuit breaker providing that:
● only one side of the circuit breaker is live (either dead line / live bus, or live line / dead bus), or
● if both bus and line sides of the circuit breaker are live, the system voltages are synchronised.
In addition, the energy source powering the circuit breaker (for example the closing spring) must be fully charged.
This is indicated from the CB Healthy DDB input.
When the CB has closed, the reclaim time starts. If the circuit breaker does not trip again, the Autoreclose function
resets at the end of the set reclaim time. If the protection operates during the reclaim time the device either
advances to the next shot in the Autoreclose cycle, or if all reclose attempts have been made, goes to lockout.
CB Status signals must also be available, so the default setting for CB Status Input in the CB CONTROL column,
should be modified according to the application. The default PSL requires 52A, 52B and CB Healthy logic inputs, so
a setting of both 52A and 52B would be required for the CB Status Input if used with the default PSL.
P94V-TM-EN-10.2 123
Chapter 8 - Autoreclose P94V
4.1 CB HEALTHY
It is necessary to establish if there is sufficient energy in the circuit breaker (spring charged, gas pressure healthy,
etc.) before the CB can be closed. This CB Healthy input is used to ensure this before initiating a CB closed 3ph
command. If on completion of the dead time, the CB Healthy input is low, and remains low for a period given by
the CB Healthy Time timer, lockout will result and the circuit breaker will remain open.
The majority of circuit breakers are only capable of providing a single trip-close-trip cycle, in which case the CB
Healthy signal would stay low after one Autoreclose shot, resulting in lockout.
This check can be disabled by not allocating an opto-input for the CB Healthy signal, whereby the signal defaults
to a High state.
4.2 BLOCK AR
The Block AR input blocks the Autoreclose function and causes a lockout. It can be used when protection
operation without Autoreclose is required. A typical example is on a transformer feeder, where Autoreclose may be
initiated by the feeder protection but blocked by the transformer protection.

disabled. This mapping is not essential, because the No System Checks setting in the AUTORECLOSE column can
be enabled to achieve the same effect.
This DDB can also be mapped to an opto-input, to allow the IED to receive a signal from an external system
monitoring device, indicating that the system conditions are suitable for CB closing. This should not normally be
necessary, since the IED has comprehensive built in system check functionality.

4.15 AR RESTART
In some applications, it is sometimes necessary to initiate an Autoreclose cycle by means of connecting an
external signal to an opto-input. This would be when the normal interlock conditions are not all satisfied, i.e. when
P94V-TM-EN-10.2 125
Chapter 8 - Autoreclose P94V
the CB is open and the associated feeder is dead. If the AR Restart input is mapped to an opto-input, activation of
that opto-input will initiate an Autoreclose cycle irrespective of the status of the CB in Service input, provided the
other interlock conditions, are still satisfied.

5.1 AR IN PROGRESS
This signal is present during the complete re-close cycle from the start of protection to the end of the reclaim time
or lockout.
5.5 AR IN SERVICE
The AR In Service output indicates whether the Autoreclose is in or out of service. Autoreclose is In Service when
the device is in Auto mode and Out of Service when in the Non Auto and Live Line modes.

6.2 AR CB UNHEALTHY
The AR CB Unhealthy alarm indicates that the CB Healthy input was not energised at the end of the CB Healthy
Time, leading to a lockout condition. This alarm is latched and must be reset manually.
6.3 AR LOCKOUT
The AR Lockout alarm indicates that the device is in a lockout status and that further re-close attempts will not be
made. This alarm can configured to reset automatically (self-reset) or manually as determined by the setting Reset
Lockout by in the CB CONTROL column.

7 AUTORECLOSE OPERATION
The Autoreclose function is a complex function consisting of several modules interacting with one another. This is
described in terms of separate logic diagrams, which link together by means of Internal signals (depicted by the
pink-coloured boxes. To help you with the analysis of the various Autoreclose modules, the following table
describes how these internal signals link up in the various logic diagrams. Each internal signal is allocated with an
ID, and the diagrams on which they appear are also identified.

Note:
Live Line Mode provides extra security for live line working on the protected feeder.
The Autoreclose function must first be enabled in the CONFIGURATION column. You can then select the operating
mode according to application requirements. The basic method of mode selection is determined by the setting AR
Mode Select in the AUTORECLOSE column, as summarised in the following table:
130 P94V-TM-EN-10.2
P94V Chapter 8 - Autoreclose
The Live Line Mode is controlled by AR LiveLine Mode. If this is high, the scheme is forced into Live Line Mode
irrespective of the other signals.

The mode selection logic includes a 100 ms delay for Auto Mode, Telecontrol and Live Line logic inputs, to ensure
a predictable change of operating modes. This is of particular importance for the case when the four position
switch does not have 'make-before-break' contacts. The logic also ensures that when the switch is moved from
Auto or Non-Auto position to Telecontrol, the scheme remains in the previously selected mode (Auto or Non-Auto)
until a different mode is selected by remote control.
For applications where live line operating mode and remote selection of Auto/Non-auto modes are not required, a
simple two position switch can be arranged to activate Auto Mode input. In this case, the Live Line and
Telecontrol inputs would be unused.
In addition, the setting Ext Prot should be set to Initiate Main AR.

P94V Chapter 8 - Autoreclose
Although a protection start and a protection trip can initiate an AR cycle, several checks still have to be performed
before the initialisation signal is given. Some of the checks are listed below:
● Auto Mode has been selected
● Live line mode is disabled
● The number of main protection and SEF shots have not been reached
● Sequence co-ordination is enabled (for protection start to initiate AR. This is not necessary if a protection
trip is doing the initiating)
● The CB Ops Lockout DDB signal is not set

It is blocked when the CB maintenance lockout counter or excessive fault frequency lockout has reached its
penultimate value.
For example, if the setting No. CB Ops Lock in the CB MONITOR SETUP column is set to 100 and the No. CB Ops
Maint = '99', the instantaneous protection can be blocked to ensure that the last CB trip before lockout will be due
to discriminative protection operation. This is controlled using the EFF Maint Lock setting (Excessive Fault
Frequency maintenance lockout). If this is set to Block Inst Prot, the instantaneous protection will be
blocked for the last CB Trip before lockout occurs.
Instantaneous protection can also be blocked when the IED is locked out, using the AR Lockout setting. It can also
be blocked after a manual close using the Manual Close setting. When the IED is in the Non-auto mode it can be
blocked by using the AR Deselected setting. The logic for these features is shown below.

If a protection operation occurs during the inhibit period, Autoreclose is not initiated. A further option is provided
by setting Man Close on Flt. If this is set to Lockout, Autoreclose is locked out (AR Lockout) for a fault during the
inhibit period following manual CB closure. If Man Close on Flt is set to No Lockout, the CB trips without
reclosure, but Autoreclose is not locked out.
You may need to block selected fast non-discriminating protection in order to obtain fully discriminative tripping
during the AR initiation inhibit period following CB manual close. You can do this by setting Manual Close to
Block Inst Prot. A No Block setting will enable all protection elements immediately on CB closure.
If setting AR on Man Close is set to Enabled, Autoreclose can be initiated immediately on CB closure, and settings
AR Inhibit Time, Man Close on Flt and Manual Close are irrelevant.

AR lockout may also be due to a protection operation when the IED is in the Live Line or Non-auto modes when the
setting Trip AR Inactive is set to Lockout. Autoreclose lockout can also be caused by a protection operation after
manual closing during the AR Inhibit Time when the Man Close on Flt setting is set to Lockout. This is shown as

Note:
Lockout can also be caused by the CB condition monitoring functions in the CB MONITOR SETUP column.
The Reset Lockout input can be used to reset the Autoreclose function following lockout and reset any Autoreclose
alarms, provided that the signals that initiated the lockout have been removed. Lockout can also be reset from the
clear key or the command Lockout Reset from the CB CONTROL column.
There are two different Reset Lockout by settings. One in the CB CONTROL column and one in the AUTORECLOSE
column.
The Reset Lockout by setting in the CB CONTROL column is used to enable or disable reset of lockout
automatically from a manual close after the manual close time Man Close RstDly.
The Reset Lockout by setting in the AUTORECLOSE column is used to enable/disable the resetting of lockout when
the IED is in the Non-auto operating mode. The reset lockout methods are summarised in the following table:

instantaneous protection at the same time. When sequence co-ordination is disabled, the circuit breaker has to be
tripped to start the dead time, and the sequence count is advanced by one.
When using sequence co-ordination for some applications such as downstream pole-mounted reclosers, it may be
desirable to re-enable instantaneous protection when the recloser has locked out. When the downstream recloser
has locked out there is no need for discrimination. This allows you to have instantaneous, then IDMT, then
instantaneous trips again during an Autoreclose cycle. Instantaneous protection may be blocked or not blocked
for each trip in an Autoreclose cycle using the Trip (n) Main and Trip (n) SEF settings, where n is the number of the
trip in the autoreclose cycle.

two circuits to be staggered, e.g. one at 5 seconds and the other at 10 seconds, so that the two circuit breakers do
not reclose simultaneously following a fault affecting both circuits.
For multi-shot Autoreclose cycles, the second shot and subsequent shot dead times are usually longer than the
first shot, to allow time for semi-permanent faults to burn clear, and for the CB to recharge. Typical second and
third shot dead time settings are 30 seconds and 60 seconds respectively.
P94V-TM-EN-10.2 147
Chapter 8 - Autoreclose P94V
The reclaim time must be long enough to allow any time-delayed protection initiating Autoreclose to operate.
Failure to do so would result in premature resetting of the Autoreclose scheme and re-enabling of instantaneous
protection. If this condition arose, a permanent fault would effectively look like a number of transient faults,
resulting in continuous autoreclosing, unless additional measures are taken such as excessive fault frequency
lockout protection.
Sensitive earth fault protection is applied to detect high resistance earth faults and usually has a long time delay,
typically 10 - 15 seconds. This longer time may have to be taken into consideration, if autoreclosing from SEF
protection. High resistance earth faults are rarely transient and may be a danger to the public. It is therefore
common practise to block Autoreclose by operation of sensitive earth fault protection and lockout the circuit
breaker.
A typical 11/33 kV reclaim time is 5 - 10 seconds. This prevents unnecessary lockout during thunderstorms.
However, reclaim times of up to 60 - 180 seconds may be used elsewhere in the world.

2 EVENT RECORDS
General Electric devices record events in an event log. This allows you to establish the sequence of events that led
up to a particular situation. For example, a change in a digital input signal or protection element output signal
would cause an event record to be created and stored in the event log. This could be used to analyse how a
particular power system condition was caused. These events are stored in the IED's non-volatile memory. Each
event is time tagged.
The event records can be displayed on an IED's front panel but it is easier to view them through the settings
application software. This can extract the events log from the device and store it as a single .evt file for analysis on
a PC.
The event records are detailed in the VIEW RECORDS column. The first event (0) is always the latest event. After
selecting the required event, you can scroll through the menus to obtain further details.
If viewing the event with the settings application software, simply open the extracted event file. All the events are
displayed chronologically. Each event is summarised with a time stamp (obtained from the Time & Date cell) and a
short description relating to the event (obtained from the Event Text cell. You can expand the details of the event
by clicking on the + icon to the left of the time stamp.
The following table shows the correlation between the fields in the setting application software's event viewer and
the cells in the menu database.

Chapter 9 - Monitoring and Control P94V
The IED contains a separate register containing the latest fault records. This provides a convenient way of viewing
the latest fault records and saves searching through the event log. You access these fault records using the Select
Fault setting, where fault number 0 is the latest fault.
A fault record is triggered by the Fault REC TRIG signal DDB, which is assigned in the PSL. The fault recorder
records the values of all parameters associated with the fault for the duration of the fault. These parameters are
stored in separate Courier cells, which become visible depending on the type of fault.
The fault recorder stops recording only when:
The Start signal is reset AND the undercurrent is ON OR the Trip signal is reset, as shown below:
V01234
The event is logged as soon as the fault recorder stops. The time stamp assigned to the fault corresponds to the
start of the fault. The timestamp assigned to the fault record event corresponds to the time when the fault
recorder stops.
Note:
We recommend that you do not set the triggering contact to latching. This is because if you use a latching contact, the fault
record would not be generated until the contact has been fully reset.

3 DISTURBANCE RECORDER
The disturbance recorder feature allows you to record selected current and voltage inputs to the protection
elements, together with selected digital signals. The digital signals may be inputs, outputs, or internal DDB signals.
The disturbance records can be extracted using the disturbance record viewer in the settings application software.
The disturbance record file can also be stored in the COMTRADE format. This allows the use of other packages to
view the recorded data.
The integral disturbance recorder has an area of memory specifically set aside for storing disturbance records. The
number of records that can be stored is dependent on the recording duration. The minimum duration is 0.1 s and
the maximum duration is 10.5 s.
When the available memory is exhausted, the oldest records are overwritten by the newest ones.
Each disturbance record consists of a number of analogue data channels and digital data channels. The relevant
CT and VT ratios for the analogue channels are also extracted to enable scaling to primary quantities.
The fault recording times are set by a combination of the Duration and Trigger Position cells. The Duration cell
sets the overall recording time and the Trigger Position cell sets the trigger point as a percentage of the duration.
For example, the default settings show that the overall recording time is set to 1.5 s with the trigger point being at
33.3% of this, giving 0.5 s pre-fault and 1 s post fault recording times.
With the Trigger Mode set to Single, if further triggers occurs whilst a recording is taking place, the recorder will
ignore the trigger. However, with the Trigger Mode set to Extended, the post trigger timer will be reset to zero,
extending the recording time.
You can select any of the IED's analogue inputs as analogue channels to be recorded. You can also map any of the
opto-inputs output contacts to the digital channels. In addition, you may also map a number of DDB signals such
as Starts and LEDs to digital channels.
You may choose any of the digital channels to trigger the disturbance recorder on either a low to high or a high to
low transition, via the Input Trigger cell. The default settings are such that any dedicated trip output contacts will
trigger the recorder.
It is not possible to view the disturbance records locally via the front panel LCD. You must extract these using
suitable setting application software such as MiCOM S1 Agile.

5 CB CONDITION MONITORING
The device records various statistics related to each circuit breaker trip operation, allowing an accurate
assessment of the circuit breaker condition to be determined. The circuit breaker condition monitoring counters
are incremented every time the device issues a trip command.
These statistics are available in the CB CONDITION column. The menu cells are counter values only, and cannot be
set directly. The counters may be reset, however, during maintenance. This is achieved with the setting Reset CB
Data.
Note:
When in Commissioning test mode the CB condition monitoring counters are not updated.

P94V Chapter 9 - Monitoring and Control
6 CB STATE MONITORING
CB State monitoring is used to verify the open or closed state of a circuit breaker. Most circuit breakers have
auxiliary contacts through which they transmit their status (open or closed) to control equipment such as IEDs.
These auxiliary contacts are known as:
● 52A for contacts that follow the state of the CB
● 52B for contacts that are in opposition to the state of the CB
This device can be set to monitor both of these types of circuit breaker state indication. If the state is unknown for
some reason, an alarm can be raised.
Some CBs provide both sets of contacts. If this is the case, these contacts will normally be in opposite states.
Should both sets of contacts be open, this would indicate one of the following conditions:
● Auxiliary contacts/wiring defective
● Circuit Breaker (CB) is defective
● CB is in isolated position
Should both sets of contacts be closed, only one of the following two conditions would apply:
● Auxiliary contacts/wiring defective
● Circuit Breaker (CB) is defective
If any of the above conditions exist, an alarm will be issued after a 5 s time delay. An output contact can be
assigned to this function via the programmable scheme logic (PSL). The time delay is set to avoid unwanted
operation during normal switching duties.
In the CB CONTROL column there is a setting called CB Status Input. This cell can be set at one of the following
four options:
● None
● 52A
● 52B
● Both 52A and 52B
Where None is selected no CB status is available. Where only 52A is used on its own then the device will assume a
52B signal opposite to the 52A signal. Circuit breaker status information will be available in this case but no
discrepancy alarm will be available. The above is also true where only a 52B is used. If both 52A and 52B are used
then status information will be available and in addition a discrepancy alarm will be possible, according to the
following table:

P94V Chapter 9 - Monitoring and Control
Circuit Breaker control is only possible if the circuit breaker in question provides auxiliary contacts. The CB Status
Input cell in the CB CONTROL column must be set to the type of circuit breaker. If no CB auxiliary contacts are
available then this cell should be set to None, and no CB control will be possible.
For local control, the CB control by cell should be set accordingly.
The output contact can be set to operate following a time delay defined by the setting Man Close Delay. One
reason for this delay is to give personnel time to safely move away from the circuit breaker following a CB close
command.
The control close cycle can be cancelled at any time before the output contact operates by any appropriate trip
signal, or by activating the Reset Close Dly DDB signal.
The length of the trip and close control pulses can be set via the Trip Pulse Time and Close Pulse Time settings
respectively. These should be set long enough to ensure the breaker has completed its open or close cycle before
the pulse has elapsed.
If an attempt to close the breaker is being made, and a protection trip signal is generated, the protection trip
command overrides the close command.
The Reset Lockout by setting is used to enable or disable the resetting of lockout automatically from a manual
close after the time set by Man Close RstDly.
If the CB fails to respond to the control command (indicated by no change in the state of CB Status inputs) an
alarm is generated after the relevant trip or close pulses have expired. These alarms can be viewed on the LCD
display, remotely, or can be assigned to output contacts using the programmable scheme logic (PSL).
Note:
The CB Healthy Time and Sys Check time set under this menu section are applicable to manual circuit breaker operations
only. These settings are duplicated in the AUTORECLOSE menu for autoreclose applications.
The Lockout Reset and Reset Lockout by settings are applicable to CB Lockouts associated with manual circuit
breaker closure, CB Condition monitoring (Number of circuit breaker operations, for example) and autoreclose
lockouts.
The device includes the following options for control of a single circuit breaker:
● The IED menu (local control)
● The Hotkeys (local control)
● The function keys (local control)
● The opto-inputs (local control)
● SCADA communication (remote control)

Chapter 9 - Monitoring and Control P94V
For this to work you have to set the CB control by cell to option 1 Local, option 3 Local + Remote, option 5
Opto+Local, or option 7 Opto+Local+Remote in the CB CONTROL column.
If the CB is currently closed, the command text on the bottom right of the LCD screen will read Trip. Conversely, if
the CB is currently open, the command text will read Close.
If you execute a Trip, a screen with the CB status will be displayed once the command has been completed. If
you execute a Close, a screen with a timing bar will appear while the command is being executed. This screen
also gives you the option to cancel or restart the close procedure. The time delay is determined by the Man Close
Delay setting in the CB CONTROL menu. When the command has been executed, a screen confirming the present
status of the circuit breaker is displayed. You are then prompted to select the next appropriate command or exit.
If no keys are pressed for a period of 5 seconds while waiting for the command confirmation, the device will revert
to showing the CB Status. If no key presses are made for a period of 25 seconds while displaying the CB status
screen, the device will revert to the default screen.
To avoid accidental operation of the trip and close functionality, the hotkey CB control commands are disabled for
10 seconds after exiting the hotkey menu.
The hotkey functionality is summarised graphically below:

8 SYSTEM CHECKS
In some situations it is possible for both "bus" and "line" sides of a circuit breaker to be live when a circuit breaker is
open - for example at the ends of a feeder that has a power source at each end. Therefore, it is normally necessary
to check that the network conditions on both sides are suitable, before closing the circuit breaker. This applies to
both manual circuit breaker closing and autoreclosing. If a circuit breaker is closed when the line and bus voltages
are both live, with a large phase angle, frequency or magnitude difference between them, the system could be
subjected to an unacceptable shock, resulting in loss of stability, and possible damage to connected machines.
The System Checks functionality involves monitoring the voltages on both sides of a circuit breaker, and if both
sides are live, performing a synchronisation check to determine whether any differences in voltage magnitude,
phase angle or frequency are within permitted limits.
The pre-closing system conditions for a given circuit breaker depend on the system configuration, and for
autoreclosing, on the selected autoreclose program. For example, on a feeder with delayed autoreclosing, the
circuit breakers at the two line ends are normally arranged to close at different times. The first line end to close
usually has a live bus and a dead line immediately before reclosing. The second line end circuit breaker now sees a
live bus and a live line.
If there is a parallel connection between the ends of the tripped feeder the frequencies will be the same, but any
increased impedance could cause the phase angle between the two voltages to increase. Therefore just before
closing the second circuit breaker, it may be necessary to perform a synchronisation check, to ensure that the
phase angle between the two voltages has not increased to a level that would cause unacceptable shock to the
system when the circuit breaker closes.
If there are no parallel interconnections between the ends of the tripped feeder, the two systems could lose
synchronism altogether and the frequency at one end could "slip" relative to the other end. In this situation, the
second line end would require a synchronism check comprising both phase angle and slip frequency checks.
If the second line-end busbar has no power source other than the feeder that has tripped; the circuit breaker will
see a live line and dead bus assuming the first circuit breaker has re-closed. When the second line end circuit
breaker closes the bus will charge from the live line (dead bus charge).
8.1.1 VT CONNECTIONS
The device provides inputs for a three-phase "Main VT" and at least one single-phase VT for check synchronisation
or residual voltage. Depending on the primary system arrangement, the Main VT may be located on either the line-
side of the busbar-side of the circuit breaker, with the 4th VT on the other. Normally, the Main VT is located on the
line-side (as per the default setting), but this is not always the case. For this reason, a setting is provided where you
can define this. This is the Main VT Location setting, which is found in the CT AND VT RATIOS column.
The 4th VT may be connected to one of the phase-to-phase voltages or phase-to-neutral voltages. This needs to
be defined using the CS Input setting in the CT AND VT RATIOS column. Options are, A-B, B-C, C-A, A-N, B-N, or C-N.

Examples
For CS1, where the Phase Angle setting is 30° and the Timer setting is 3.3 s, the “slipping” vector has to remain
within +/- 30° of the reference vector for at least 3.3 seconds. Therefore a synchronisation check output will not be
given if the slip is greater than 2 x 30° in 3.3 seconds.
Therefore, the maximum slip frequency = 2x30/360x3.3 = 0.0505 hz.
For CS2, where the Phase Angle setting is 10° and the Timer setting is 0.1 sec., the slipping vector has to remain
within 10° of the reference vector, with the angle decreasing, for 0.1 sec. When the angle passes through zero and
starts to increase, the synchronisation check output is blocked. Therefore an output will not be given if the slip is
greater than 10° in 0.1 second.
Therefore, the maximum slip frequency = 10/360x0.1 = 0.278 Hz.
Slip control by Timer is not practical for “large slip/small phase angle” applications, because the timer settings
required are very small, sometimes less than 0.1 seconds. For these situations, slip control by frequency is better.
If Slip Control by Frequency + Timer is selected, for an output to be given, the slip frequency must be less than
BOTH the set Slip Freq. value and the value determined by the Phase Angle and Timer settings.
174 P94V-TM-EN-10.2
P94V Chapter 9 - Monitoring and Control
By enabling both CS1 and CS2, the device can be configured to allow CB closure if either of the two conditions is
detected.
For manual circuit breaker closing with synchronism check, some utilities might prefer to arrange the logic to
check initially for condition 1 only. However, if a System Split is detected before the condition 1 parameters are
satisfied, the device will switch to checking for condition 2 parameters instead, based on the assumption that a
significant degree of slip must be present when system split conditions are detected. This can be arranged by
suitable PSL logic, using the System Check DDB signals.

This bay shows four switches of the type LN XSWI and one circuit breaker of type LN XCBR. In this example, the
switches XSWI1 – XSWI3 are disconnectors and XCSWI4 is an earthing switch.
For the device to be able to control the switches, the switches must provide auxiliary contacts to indicate the
switch status. For convenience, the device settings refer to the auxiliary contacts as 52A and 52B, even though
they are not circuit breakers.
There are eight sets of settings in the SWITCH CONTROL column, which allow you to set up the Switch control, one
set for each switch. These settings are as follows:
SWITCH1 Type
This setting defines the type of switch. It can be a load breaking switch, a disconnector, an earthing switch or a
high speed earthing switch.
SWI1 Status Inpt
This setting defines the type of auxiliary contacts that will be used for the control logic. For convenience, the device
settings refer to the auxiliary contacts as 52A and 52B, even though they are not circuit breakers. "A" contacts
match the status of the primary contacts, whilst "B" contacts are of the opposite polarity.
SWI1 Control by
This setting determines how the switch is to be controlled. This can be Local (using the device directly) remote
(using a communications link), or both.
SWI1 Trip/Close
This is a command to directly trip or close the switch.
SWI1 Trp Puls T and SWI1 Cls Puls T

These settings allow you to control the width of the open and close pulses.
SWI1 Sta Alrm T
This setting allows you to define the duration of wait timer before the relay raises a status alarm.
SWI1 Trp Alrm T and SWI1 Cls Alrm T
These settings allow you to control the delay of the open and close alarms when the final switch status is not in
line with expected status.
SWI1 Operations
This is a data cell, which displays the number of switch operations that have taken place. It is an accumulator,
which you can reset using the Reset SWI1 Data setting

Chapter 10 - Supervision P94V
2 DC SUPPLY MONITOR
This product can be powered using either a DC or AC supply. As a DC supply is normally used, a DC Supply
Monitoring feature is included to indicate the DC supply status. The nominal DC Station supply is 48 V DC, which is
provided by a bank of batteries. It is sometimes possible for this nominal supply to fall below or rise above
acceptable operational limits. If the voltage is too high, it may indicate overcharging. If the voltage is too low, it
may indicate a failing battery.
In such cases it is very useful to have DC supply monitoring functionality. The P40 Agile products provide such
functionality by measuring the auxiliary DC supply fed into the device and processing this information using
settings to define certain limits. In addition, the DC Auxiliary Supply value can be displayed on the front panel LCD
to a resolution of 0.1 V DC. The measuring range is from 19 V DC to 300 V DC.
Zone 1 (undervoltage)
It is possible to have overlapping zones whereby zone 2 upper limit is lower than zone 1 lower limit in the above
example.
The DC Supply Monitoring function is implemented using settings in the DC SUP. MONITOR column. There are three
sets of settings; one for each of the zones. The settings allow you to:
● Enable or disable the function for each zone
● Set a lower voltage limit for each zone
● Set an upper voltage limit for each zone
● Set a time delay for each zone

V01220
The diagram above shows the DC supply monitoring logic for stage 1 only. Stages 2 and 3 are identical in principle.
The logic function will work when the Vdc1 status setting cell is Enabled and the DC Supply Monitoring inhibit
signal (InhibitDC SupMon) is low.
If the auxiliary supply voltage (Vdc) exceeds the lower limit AND falls below the upper limit, the voltage is in the
healthy zone and a Start signal is generated.
The Vdc(n) Trip signals from all stages are OR'd together to produce an alarm signal DC Supply Fail.
Note:
The device's supercapacitor uses Vdc to provide charge and so may cause the voltage to dip below the Vdc lower limit (19.2 V)
during a system power-up sequence if fully discharged. This will trigger a lockout error. In this case, it will be necessary to
allow the supercapacitor to charge before attempting another power-up sequence. The supercapacitor may take several
minutes to become fully charged, depending on the AC/DC supply specification. With the supercapacitor charged, the next
relay power cycle will clear the lockout and the relay will boot and operate normally.

When the CB is closed, supervision current passes through the opto-input, blocking diode and trip coil. When the
CB is open, supervision current flows through the opto-input and into the trip coil via the 52b auxiliary contact.
This means that Trip Coil supervision is provided when the CB is either closed or open, however Trip Path
supervision is only provided when the CB is closed. No supervision of the trip path is provided whilst the CB is open
(pre-closing supervision). Any fault in the trip path will only be detected on CB closing, after a 400 ms delay.

User Alarm
The opto-input can be used to drive a Normally Closed Output Relay, which in turn can be used to drive alarm
equipment. The signal can also be inverted to drive a latching programmable LED and a user alarm DDB signal.
The DDO timer operates as soon as the opto-input is energised, but will take 400 ms to drop off/reset in the event
of a trip circuit failure. The 400 ms delay prevents a false alarm due to voltage dips caused by faults in other
circuits or during normal tripping operation when the opto-input is shorted by a self-reset trip contact. When the
timer is operated the NC (normally closed) output relay opens and the LED and user alarms are reset.
The 50 ms delay on pick-up timer prevents false LED and user alarm indications during the power up time,
following a voltage supply interruption.

Under normal non-fault conditions, a current of 2 mA flows through one of the following paths:
a) Post Close Supervision: When the CB is in a closed state, the current flows through R1, Opto A, Contact 52A and
the trip coil.
b) Pre-close Supervision: When the CB is in an open state, the current flows through R1, Opto A, Contact 52B, Opto
B and the trip coil.
c) Momentary Tripping with Self-reset Contact: When a self-reset trip contact is in a closed state, the current flows
through the trip contact, contact 52A and the trip coil.
d) Tripping with Latched Contact: When a latched trip contact is used and when it is in a closed state, the current
flows through the trip contact, Contact 52A, the trip coil, then changing to the path trip contact, R2, Contact 52B,
Opto B and the trip coil.
A current of 2 mA through the Trip Coil is insufficient to cause operation of the Trip Contact, but large enough to
energise the opto-inputs. Under this condition both of the opto-inputs will output logic 1, so the output relay (TCS
health) will be closed and the User Alarm will be off. If a break occurs in the trip circuit, the current ceases to flow,
resulting in both opto-inputs outputting logic 0. This will open the output relay and energise the user alarm.

For the momentary tripping condition, none of the opto-inputs are energised. To tide over this normal CB
operation, a dropoff time delay of about 400 ms is added in the PSL.

This chapter introduces the PSL (Programmable Scheme Logic) Editor, and describes the configuration of the digital
inputs and outputs. It provides an outline of scheme logic concepts and the PSL Editor. This is followed by details
about allocation of the digital inputs and outputs, which require the use of the PSL Editor. A separate "Settings
Application Software" document is available that gives a comprehensive description of the PSL, but enough
information is provided in this chapter to allow you to allocate the principal digital inputs and outputs.

3 SCHEME LOGIC
The product is supplied with pre-loaded Fixed Scheme Logic (FSL) and Programmable Scheme Logic (PSL).
The Scheme Logic is a functional module within the IED, through which all mapping of inputs to outputs is handled.
The scheme logic can be split into two parts; the Fixed Scheme Logic (FSL) and the Programmable Scheme Logic
(PSL). It is built around a concept called the digital data bus (DDB). The DDB encompasses all of the digital signals
(DDBs) which are used in the FSL and PSL. The DDBs included digital inputs, outputs, and internal signals.
The FSL is logic that has been hard-coded in the product. It is fundamental to correct interaction between various
protection and/or control elements. It is fixed and cannot be changed.
The PSL gives you a facility to develop custom schemes to suit your application if the factory-programmed default
PSL schemes do not meet your needs. Default PSL schemes are programmed before the product leaves the
factory. These default PSL schemes have been designed to suit typical applications and if these schemes suit your
requirements, you do not need to take any action. However, if you want to change the input-output mappings, or
to implement custom scheme logic, you can change these, or create new PSL schemes using the PSL editor.
The PSL consists of components such as logic gates and timers, which combine and condition DDB signals.
The logic gates can be programmed to perform a range of different logic functions. The number of inputs to a logic
gate are not limited. The timers can be used either to create a programmable delay or to condition the logic
outputs. Output contacts and programmable LEDs have dedicated conditioners.
The PSL logic is event driven. Only the part of the PSL logic that is affected by the particular input change that has
occurred is processed. This minimises the amount of processing time used by the PSL ensuring industry leading
performance.
The following diagram shows how the scheme logic interacts with the rest of the IED.

Note:
Contact Conditioners are only available if they have not all been used. In some default PSL schemes, all Contact Conditioners
might have been used. If that is the case, and you want to use them for something else, you will need to re-assign them.
On the toolbar there is another button associated with the relay outputs. The button looks like this:
This is the "Contact Signal" button. It allows you to put replica instances of a conditioned output relay into the PSL,
preventing you having to make cross-page connections which might detract from the clarity of the scheme.

You enable the automatic self-resetting with the Sys Fn Links cell in the SYSTEM DATA column. A '0' disables self
resetting and a '1' enables self resetting.
The reset occurs when the circuit is reclosed and the Any Pole Dead signal has been reset for three seconds
providing the Any Start signal is inactive. The reset is prevented if the Any Start signal is active after the breaker
closes.

DDB signals are mapped in the PSL and used to illuminate the LEDs. For single-coloured programmable LEDs there
is one DDB signal per LED. For tri-coloured LEDs there are two DDB signals associated with the LED. Asserting LED
# Grn will illuminate the LED green. Asserting LED # Red will illuminate the LED red. Asserting both DDB signals will
illuminate the LED amber.
The illumination of an LED is controlled by means of a conditioner. Using the conditioner, you can decide whether
the LEDs reflect the real-time state of the DDB signals, or whether illumination is latched pending user intervention.
To map an LED in the PSL you should use the LED Conditioner button in the toolbar to import it. You then condition
it according to your needs. The output(s) of the conditioner respect the attribute you have assigned.
The toolbar button for a tri-colour LED looks like this:
Note:
LED Conditioners are only available if they have not all been used up, and in some default PSL schemes they might be. If that
is the case and you want to use them for something else, you will need to re-assign them.
On the toolbar there is another button associated with the LEDs. For a tri-coloured LED the button looks like this:
It is the "LED Signal" button. It allows you to put replica instances of a conditioned LED into the PSL, preventing you
having to make cross-page connections which might detract from the clarity of the scheme.

Note:
All LED DDB signals are always shown in the PSL Editor. However, the actual number of LEDs depends on the device
hardware. For example, if a small 20TE device has only 4 programmable LEDs, LEDs 5-8 will not take effect even if they are
mapped in the PSL.

8 FUNCTION KEYS
For most models, a number of programmable function keys are available. This allows you to assign function keys
to control functionality via the programmable scheme logic (PSL). Each function key is associated with a
programmable tri-colour LED, which you can program to give the desired indication on activation of the function
key.
These function keys can be used to trigger any function that they are connected to as part of the PSL. The function
key commands are found in the FUNCTION KEYS column.
Each function key is associated with a DDB signal as shown in the DDB table. You can map these DDB signals to
any function available in the PSL.
The Fn Key Status cell displays the status (energised or de-energised) of the function keys by means of a binary
string, where each bit represents a function key starting with bit 0 for function key 1.
Each function key has three settings associated with it, as shown:
● Fn Key (n), which enables or disables the function key
● Fn Key (n) Mode, which allows you to configure the key as toggled or normal
● Fn Key (n) label, which allows you to define the function key text that is displayed
The Fn Key (n) cell is used to enable (unlock) or disable (unlock) the function key signals in PSL. The Lock setting has
been provided to prevent further activation on subsequent key presses. This allows function keys that are set to
Toggled mode and their DDB signal active ‘high’, to be locked in their active state therefore preventing any
further key presses from deactivating the associated function. Locking a function key that is set to the “Normal”
mode causes the associated DDB signals to be permanently off. This safety feature prevents any inadvertent
function key presses from activating or deactivating critical functions.
When the Fn Key (n) Mode cell is set to Toggle, the function key DDB signal output will remain in the set state
until a reset command is given. In the Normal mode, the function key DDB signal will remain energised for as long
as the function key is pressed and will then reset automatically. In this mode, a minimum pulse duration can be
programmed by adding a minimum pulse timer to the function key DDB output signal.
The Fn Key Label cell makes it possible to change the text associated with each individual function key. This text
will be displayed when a function key is accessed in the function key menu, or it can be displayed in the PSL.
The status of all function keys are recorded in non-volatile memory. In case of auxiliary supply interruption their
status will be maintained.
Note:
All function key DDB signals are always shown in the PSL Editor. However, the actual number of function keys depends on the
device hardware. For example, if a small 20TE device has no function keys, the function key DDBs mapped in the PSL will not
take effect.

The control inputs are software switches, which can be set or reset locally or remotely. These inputs can be used to
trigger any PSL function to which they are connected. There are three setting columns associated with the control
inputs: CONTROL INPUTS, CTRL I/P CONFIG and CTRL I/P LABELS. These are listed in the Settings and Records
appendix at the end of this manual.

This product supports Substation Automation System (SAS), and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA)
communication. The support embraces the evolution of communications technologies that have taken place since
microprocessor technologies were introduced into protection, control, and monitoring devices which are now
ubiquitously known as Intelligent Electronic Devices for the substation (IEDs).
As standard, all products support rugged serial communications for SCADA and SAS applications. By option, any
product can support Ethernet communications for more advanced SCADA and SAS applications.

P94V Chapter 12 - Communications
3 SERIAL COMMUNICATION
The physical layer standards that are used for serial communications for SCADA purposes are:
● Universal Serial Bus (USB)
● EIA(RS)485 (often abbreviated to RS485)
● K-Bus (a proprietary customization of RS485)
USB is a relatively new standard, which replaces EIA(RS232) for local communication with the IED (for transferring
settings and downloading firmware updates)
RS485 is similar to RS232 but for longer distances and it allows daisy-chaining and multi-dropping of IEDs.
K-Bus is a proprietary protocol quite similar to RS485, but it cannot be mixed on the same link as RS485. Unlike
RS485, K-Bus signals applied across two terminals are not polarised.
It is important to note that these are not data protocols. They only describe the physical characteristics required
for two devices to communicate with each other.
For a description of the K-Bus standard see K-Bus (on page212) and General Electric's K-Bus interface guide
reference R6509.
A full description of the RS485 is available in the published standard.

Warning:
It is extremely important that the 120 Ω termination resistors are fitted. Otherwise
the bias voltage may be excessive and may damage the devices connected to the
bus.
3.3 K-BUS
K-Bus is a robust signalling method based on RS485 voltage levels. K-Bus incorporates message framing, based on
a 64 kbps synchronous HDLC protocol with FM0 modulation to increase speed and security.
The rear interface is used to provide a permanent connection for K-Bus, which allows multi-drop connection.
A K-Bus spur consists of up to 32 IEDs connected together in a multi-drop arrangement using twisted pair wiring.
The K-Bus twisted pair connection is non-polarised.
It is not possible to use a standard EIA(RS)232 to EIA(RS)485 converter to convert IEC 60870-5 FT1.2 frames to K-
Bus. A protocol converter, namely the KITZ101, KITZ102 or KITZ201, must be used for this purpose. Please consult
General Electric for information regarding the specification and supply of KITZ devices. The following figure
demonstrates a typical K-Bus connection.

PRP and HSR are open standards, so their implementation is compatible with any standard PRP or HSR device
respectively. PRP provides "bumpless" redundancy.

In a DAN, both ports share the same MAC address so it does not affect the way devices talk to each other in an
Ethernet network (Address Resolution Protocol at layer 2). Every data frame is seen by both ports.
When a DAN sends a frame of data, the frame is duplicated on both ports and therefore on both LAN segments.
This provides a redundant path for the data frame if one of the segments fails. Under normal conditions, both LAN
segments are working and each port receives identical frames.

network and the network topology. A typical figure for the fault recovery time is 300ms. Therefore, RSTP cannot
achieve the “bumpless” redundancy that some other protocols can.
Refer to IEEE 802.1D 2004 standard for detailed information about the opration of the protocol.

6 DATA PROTOCOLS
The products supports a wide range of protocols to make them applicable to many industries and applications.
The exact data protocols supported by a particular product depend on its chosen application, but the following
table gives a list of the data protocols that are typically available.
The relationship of these protocols to the lower level physical layer protocols are as follows:
IEC 60870-5-103

6.1 COURIER
This section should provide sufficient detail to enable understanding of the Courier protocol at a level required by
most users. For situations where the level of information contained in this manual is insufficient, further
publications (R6511 and R6512) containing in-depth details about the protocol and its use, are available on
request.
Courier is an General Electric proprietary communication protocol. Courier uses a standard set of commands to
access a database of settings and data in the IED. This allows a master to communicate with a number of slave
devices. The application-specific elements are contained in the database rather than in the commands used to
interrogate it, meaning that the master station does not need to be preconfigured. Courier also provides a
sequence of event (SOE) and disturbance record extraction mechanism.
P94V-TM-EN-10.2 221
Chapter 12 - Communications P94V
Addresses in the database are specified as hexadecimal values, for example, 0A02 is column 0A row 02.
Associated settings or data are part of the same column. Row zero of the column has a text string to identify the
contents of the column and to act as a column heading.
The product-specific menu databases contain the complete database definition.
With the exception of the Disturbance Recorder settings, changes made to the control and support settings are
implemented immediately and stored in non-volatile memory. Changes made to the Protection settings and the
Disturbance Recorder settings are stored in ‘scratchpad’ memory and are not immediately implemented. These
need to be committed by writing to the Save Changes cell in the CONFIGURATION column.
Method 1
This uses a combination of three commands to perform a settings change:
First, enter Setting mode: This checks that the cell is settable and returns the limits.
1. Preload Setting: This places a new value into the cell. This value is echoed to ensure that setting corruption
has not taken place. The validity of the setting is not checked by this action.
2. Execute Setting: This confirms the setting change. If the change is valid, a positive response is returned. If
the setting change fails, an error response is returned.
3. Abort Setting: This command can be used to abandon the setting change.
This is the most secure method. It is ideally suited to on-line editors because the setting limits are extracted before
the setting change is made. However, this method can be slow if many settings are being changed because three
commands are required for each change.
Method 2
The Set Value command can be used to change a setting directly. The response to this command is either a
positive confirm or an error code to indicate the nature of a failure. This command can be used to implement a
setting more rapidly than the previous method, however the limits are not extracted. This method is therefore most
suitable for off-line setting editors such as MiCOM S1 Agile, or for issuing preconfigured control commands.
222 P94V-TM-EN-10.2
P94V Chapter 12 - Communications
Once an event has been extracted, the Accept Event command can be used to confirm that the event has been
successfully extracted. When all events have been extracted, the Event bit is reset. If there are more events still to
be extracted, the next event can be accessed using the Send Event command as before.
Event Types
The IED generates events under certain circumstances such as:
● Change of state of output contact
● Change of state of opto-input
● Protection element operation
● Alarm condition
● Setting change
● Password entered/timed-out
The Menu Database contains tables of possible events, and shows how the contents of the above fields are
interpreted. Fault and Maintenance records return a Courier Type 3 event, which contains the above fields plus two
additional fields:
● Event extraction column
● Event number
These events contain additional information, which is extracted from the IED using column B4. Row 01 contains a
Select Record setting that allows the fault or maintenance record to be selected. This setting should be set to the
P94V-TM-EN-10.2 223
Chapter 12 - Communications P94V
event number value returned in the record. The extended data can be extracted from the IED by uploading the text
and data from the column.
The PSL settings can be uploaded and downloaded to and from the IED using this mechanism. The settings
application software must be used to edit the settings. It also performs checks on the validity of the settings before
they are transferred to the IED.

4. Move down to the next cell (RP1 Address). This cell controls the address of the RP1 port on thje device. Up to
32 IEDs can be connected to one spur. It is therefore necessary for each IED to have a unique address so
that messages from the master control station are accepted by one IED only. Courier uses an integer
number between 1 and 254 for the Relay Address. It is set to 255 by default, which has to be changed. It is
important that no two IEDs share the same address.

6.2.2 INITIALISATION
Whenever the device has been powered up, or if the communication parameters have been changed a reset
command is required to initialize the communications. The device will respond to either of the two reset
commands; Reset CU or Reset FCB (Communication Unit or Frame Count Bit). The difference between the two
commands is that the Reset CU command will clear any unsent messages in the transmit buffer, whereas the
Reset FCB command does not delete any messages.
The device will respond to the reset command with an identification message ASDU 5. The Cause of Transmission
(COT) of this response will be either Reset CU or Reset FCB depending on the nature of the reset command. The
content of ASDU 5 is described in the IEC 60870-5-103 section of the Menu Database, available from General
Electric separately if required.
In addition to the above identification message, it will also produce a power up event.
The IEC 60870-5-103 profile in the Menu Database contains a complete listing of all events produced by the
device.
6.2.7 COMMANDS
A list of the supported commands is contained in the Menu Database. The device will respond to other commands
with an ASDU 1, with a cause of transmission (COT) indicating ‘negative acknowledgement’.
P94V-TM-EN-10.2 227
Chapter 12 - Communications P94V
event will be produced to indicate both entry to and exit from test mode. Spontaneous events and cyclic measured
data transmitted whilst the device is in test mode will have a COT of ‘test mode’.

IEDs can be connected to one spur. It is therefore necessary for each IED to have a unique address so that
messages from the master control station are accepted by one IED only. IEC 60870-5-103 uses an integer
number between 0 and 254 for the address. It is important that no two IEDs have the same IEC 60870 5 103
address. The IEC 60870-5-103 address is then used by the master station to communicate with the IED.

5. Move down to the next cell (RP1 Baud Rate). This cell controls the baud rate to be used. Two baud rates are
supported by the IED, 9600 bits/s and 19200 bits/s. Make sure that the baud rate selected on the
IED is the same as that set on the master station.

IEC 60870-5-103 measurements. The IEC 60870-5-103 protocol allows the IED to supply measurements at
regular intervals. The interval between measurements is controlled by this cell, and can be set between 1

Many of the IED’s functions are configurable so some of the Object 10 commands described in the following
sections may not be available. A read from Object 10 reports the point as off-line and an operate command to
Object 12 generates an error response.
Examples of Object 10 points that maybe reported as off-line are:
● Activate setting groups: Ensure setting groups are enabled
● CB trip/close: Ensure remote CB control is enabled
● Reset NPS thermal: Ensure NPS thermal protection is enabled
● Reset thermal O/L: Ensure thermal overload protection is enabled
● Reset RTD flags: Ensure RTD Inputs is enabled
● Control inputs: Ensure control inputs are enabled

If the clock is being synchronized using the IRIG-B input then it will not be possible to set the device time using the
Courier interface. An attempt to set the time using the interface will cause the device to create an event with the
current date and time taken from the IRIG-B synchronized internal clock.

In MiCOM S1 Agile, the DNP3.0 data is shown in three main folders, one folder each for the point configuration,

If the device supports DNP Over Ethernet, the configuration related settings are done in the folder DNP Over
Ethernet.
Note:
We advise you not to enable Unsolicited Reporting on a serial multi-drop line. This is due the fact that collisions may result
from multiple IEDs reporting concurrent events. If Unsolicited Reporting is enabled on a serial line, we recommend connecting
only one IED per master link. This restriction is not applicable if DNP3 Over Ethernet is used.
6.4 MODBUS
This section describes how the MODBUS standard is applied to the Px40 platform. It is not a description of the
standard itself. The level at which this section is written assumes that the reader is already familiar with the
MODBUS standard.
The MODBUS protocol is a master/slave protocol, defined and administered by the MODBUS Organization For
further information on MODBUS and the protocol specifications, please see the Modbus web site
(www.modbus.org).
The MODBUS interface uses ‘RTU’ mode communication rather than ‘ASCII’ mode as this provides more efficient
use of the communication bandwidth. This mode of communication is defined by the MODBUS standard.
The IED address and baud rate can be selected using the front panel menu or by a suitable application such as
MiCOM Agile.
When using a serial interface, the data format is: 1 start bit, 8 data bits, 1 parity bit with 1 stop bit, or 2 stop bits (a
total of 11 bits per character).

Note:
The "extended memory file" (6xxxx) is not supported.
242 P94V-TM-EN-10.2
P94V Chapter 12 - Communications
Note:
MODBUS convention is to document register addresses as ordinal values whereas the actual protocol addresses are literal
values. The MiCOM relays begin their register addresses at zero. Therefore, the first register in a memory page is register
address zero. The second register is register address 1 and so on.
Note:
The page number notation is not part of the address.
For each of the above registers a value of 0 represents the most recent stored record. The following registers can
be read to indicate the numbers of the various types of record stored.
● 30100: Number of stored records
● 30101: Number of stored fault records
● 30102: Number of stored maintenance records
Each fault or maintenance record logged causes an event record to be created. If this event record is selected, the
additional registers allowing the fault or maintenance record details will also become populated.

Protection events – like the relay and opto addresses this will map onto the
MODBUS address of the appropriate DDB status register depending on which bit
of the DDB the change occurred. These will range from 30727 to 30785.
For platform events, fault events and maintenance events the default is 0.
This register will contain the DDB ordinal for protection events or the bit number
Event Index 30111 1 for alarm events. The direction of the change will be indicated by the most
significant bit; 1 for 0 – 1 change and 0 for 1 – 0 change.
0 means that there is no additional data.

from the register ranges specified above. The event record data in registers 30103 to 30111 will not be available.
It is possible using register 40401(G6 data type) to independently clear the stored relay event/fault and

Key to table:
● m = milliseconds: 0 to 59,999
● I = minutes: 0 to 59
● H = hours: 0 to 23
● W = day of the week: 1 to 7 starting from Monday
● D = day of the month: 1 to 31
● M = month of the year: 1 to 12 starting from January
● Y = year of the century: 0 to 99
● R = reserved: 0
● SU = summertime: 0 = GMT, 1 = summertime
● IV = invalid: 0 = invalid value, 1 = valid value
Since the range of the data type is only 100 years, the century must be deduced. The century is calculated as the
one that will produce the nearest time value to the current date. For example: 30-12-99 is 30-12-1999 when
received in 1999 & 2000, but is 30-12-2099 when received in 2050. This technique allows 2 digit years to be
accurately converted to 4 digits in a ±50 year window around the current date.
The invalid bit has two applications:
● It can indicate that the date-time information is considered inaccurate, but is the best information available.
● It can indicate that the date-time information is not available.
The summertime bit is used to indicate that summertime (day light saving) is being used and, more importantly, to
resolve the alias and time discontinuity which occurs when summertime starts and ends. This is important for the
correct time correlation of time stamped records.
The day of the week field is optional and if not calculated will be set to zero.
The concept of time zone is not catered for by this data type and hence by the relay. It is up to the end user to
determine the time zone. Normal practice is to use UTC (universal co-ordinated time).

Following an upgrade, the IEC 61850 Configurator tool can be used to transmit a command, which authorises
activation of the new configuration contained in the inactive configuration bank. This is done by switching the
active and inactive configuration banks. The capability of switching the configuration banks is also available using

The IED can be configured to accept data from other networks using the Gateway setting. If multiple networks are
used, the IP addresses must be unique across networks.
No Redundancy
Simultaneous IEC 61850 and DNP3.0 operation may be achieved using single or dual IP addresses.
Where concurrent IEC61850 & DNP3 uses a dual IP address configuration (defined via ordering option), Port A is
dedicated to IEC 61850 (configured with or without SNTP), and Port B is dedicated to DNP3.0. Configuration
settings are applied via IED Configurator Communications and DNP Over Ethernet Settings respectively. In this
case, no Redundancy option is available.
Note:
SNTP may only be configured via the IED Configurator tool.
Note:
When concurrent IEC61850 & DNP3 uses a dual IP address configuration, the Redundancy list in the IED Configurator tool is
visible but ineffective.
Where concurrent IEC61850 & DNP3 uses a single IP address setup with no redundancy required, configuration
settings are applied via the IED Configurator and DNP3 settings respectively, with Redundancy set to NONE.
With Redundancy
Simultaneous IEC 61850 and DNP3.0 with FAILOVER, RSTP, PRP or HSP Redundancy is only possible where
concurrent IEC61850 & DNP3 uses a single IP address. With Redundancy set to FAILOVER, either Port A or B may be
selected, but when set to RSTP, PRP or HSR redundancy protocols, IEC 61850 and DNP3.0 communications
(configured with or without SNTP) no port is specified.
Note:
Redundancy and SNTP may only be configured via the IED Configurator tool.
Note:
The IP address, Subnet and Gateway may be set with either configuration tool, (IED Configurator Communications or DNP3
Over Ethernet settings), but only the last values sent will be configured, as only one IP address/Subnet/Gateway is used in a
single IP Address setup. It is therefore recommended that the same IP address is entered into both configuration tools.

P94V Chapter 12 - Communications
The first four time-slots define the time in BCD (Binary Coded Decimal). Time-slots 5 and 6 are used for control
functions, which control deletion commands and allow different data groupings within the synchronisation strings.
Time-slots 7-10 define the time in SBS (Straight Binary Second of day).
8.2 SNTP
SNTP is used to synchronise the clocks of computer systems over packet-switched, variable-latency data
networks, such as IP. SNTP can be used as the time synchronisation method for models using IEC 61850 over
Ethernet.
The device is synchronised by the main SNTP server. This is achieved by entering the IP address of the SNTP server
into the IED using the IEC 61850 Configurator software described in the settings application software manual. A
second server is also configured with a different IP address for backup purposes.
This function issues an alarm when there is a loss of time synchronisation on the SNTP server. This could be
because there is no response or no valid clock signal.
The HMI menu does not contain any configurable settings relating to SNTP, as the only way to configure it is using
the IEC 61850 Configurator. However it is possible to view some parameters in the COMMUNICATIONS column
under the sub-heading SNTP parameters. Here you can view the SNTP server addresses and the SNTP poll rate in
the cells SNTP Server 1, SNTP Server 2 and SNTP Poll rate respectively.
The SNTP time synchronisation status is displayed in the SNTP Status cell in the DATE AND TIME column.

1 OVERVIEW
In the past, substation networks were traditionally isolated and the protocols and data formats used to transfer
information between devices were often proprietary.
For these reasons, the substation environment was very secure against cyber-attacks. The terms used for this
inherent type of security are:
● Security by isolation (if the substation network is not connected to the outside world, it cannot be accessed
from the outside world).
● Security by obscurity (if the formats and protocols are proprietary, it is very difficult to interpret them).
The increasing sophistication of protection schemes, coupled with the advancement of technology and the desire
for vendor interoperability, has resulted in standardisation of networks and data interchange within substations.
Today, devices within substations use standardised protocols for communication. Furthermore, substations can be
interconnected with open networks, such as the internet or corporate-wide networks, which use standardised
protocols for communication. This introduces a major security risk making the grid vulnerable to cyber-attacks,
which could in turn lead to major electrical outages.
Clearly, there is now a need to secure communication and equipment within substation environments. This
chapter describes the security measures that have been put in place for our range of Intelligent Electronic Devices
(IEDs).
Note:
Cyber-security compatible devices do not enforce NERC compliance, they merely facilitate it. It is the responsibility of the user
to ensure that compliance is adhered to as and when necessary.
P94V-TM-EN-10.2 269
Chapter 13 - Cyber-Security P94V
The threats to cyber-security may be unintentional (e.g. natural disasters, human error), or intentional (e.g. cyber-
attacks by hackers).
Good cyber-security can be achieved with a range of measures, such as closing down vulnerability loopholes,
implementing adequate security processes and procedures and providing technology to help achieve this.
Examples of vulnerabilities are:
● Indiscretions by personnel (users keep passwords on their computer)
● Bad practice (users do not change default passwords, or everyone uses the same password to access all
substation equipment)
● Bypassing of controls (users turn off security measures)
● Inadequate technology (substation is not firewalled)
To help tackle these issues, standards organisations have produced various standards. Compliance with these
standards significantly reduces the threats associated with lack of cyber-security.

4 CYBER-SECURITY IMPLEMENTATION
The General Electric IEDs have always been and will continue to be equipped with state-of-the-art security
measures. Due to the ever-evolving communication technology and new threats to security, this requirement is
not static. Hardware and software security measures are continuously being developed and implemented to
mitigate the associated threats and risks.
This section describes the current implementation of cyber-security. This is valid for the release of platform
software to which this manual pertains. This current cyber-security implementation is known as Cyber-security
Phase 1.
At the IED level, these cyber-security measures have been implemented:
● NERC-compliant default display
● Four-level access
● Enhanced password security
● Password recovery procedure
● Disabling of unused physical and logical ports
● Inactivity timer
● Security events management
External to the IEDs, the following cyber-security measures have been implemented:
● Antivirus
● Security patch management
If you try to change the default display from the NERC-compliant one, a further warning is displayed:
The default display navigation map shows how NERC-compliance is achieved with the product's default display
concept.

Blank passwords cannot be configured if the lower level password is not blank.
Blank passwords affect the fall back level after inactivity timeout or logout.
The ‘fallback level’ is the password level adopted by the IED after an inactivity timeout, or after the user logs out.
This will be either the level of the highest-level password that is blank, or level 0 if no passwords are blank.

NERC COMPLIANT
P/WORD WAS SAVED
If the password entered is not NERC-compliant, the user is required to actively confirm this, in which case the non-
compliance is logged.
If the entered password is not NERC compliant, the following text is displayed:
NERC COMPLIANCE
NOT MET CONFIRM?
On confirmation, the non-compliant password is stored and the following acknowledgement message is displayed
for 2 seconds.
NON-NERC P/WORD
SAVED OK
If the action is cancelled, the password is rejected and the following message is displayed for 2 seconds.
NON-NERC P/WORD
NOT SAVE
If the password is entered through a communications port using Courier or Modbus protocols, the device will store
the password, irrespective of whether it is NERC-compliant or not. It then uses appropriate response codes to
inform the client of the NERC-compliancy status. You can then choose to enter a new NERC-compliant password
or accept the non-NERC compliant password just entered.
P94V-TM-EN-10.2 279
Chapter 13 - Cyber-Security P94V
If you try to enter the password while the interface is blocked, the following message is displayed for 2 seconds.
NOT ACCEPTED
ENTRY IS BLOCKED
A similar response occurs if you try to enter the password through a communications port.
The parameters can then be configured using the Attempts Limit, Attempts Timer and Blocking Timer settings in
the SECURITY CONFIG column.
As soon as the security code is displayed on the LCD, a validity timer is started. This validity timer is set to 72 hours
and is not configurable. This provides enough time for the contact centre to manually generate and send a
recovery password. The Service Level Agreement (SLA) for recovery password generation is one working day, so 72
hours is sufficient time, even allowing for closure of the contact centre over weekends and bank holidays.
To prevent accidental reading of the IED security code, the cell will initially display a warning message:
PRESS ENTER TO
READ SEC. CODE
The security code is displayed on confirmation. The validity timer is then started. The security code can only be
read from the front panel.

P94V Chapter 14 - Installation
Caution:
Do not use conventional self-tapping screws, because they have larger heads and could
damage the faceplate.
Alternatively, you can use tapped holes if the panel has a minimum thickness of 2.5 mm.
For applications where the product needs to be semi-projection or projection mounted, a range of collars are
available.
If several products are mounted in a single cut-out in the panel, mechanically group them horizontally or vertically
into rigid assemblies before mounting in the panel.
Caution:
Do not fasten products with pop rivets because this makes them difficult to remove if
repair becomes necessary.
Caution:
Risk of damage to the front cover molding. Do not use conventional self-tapping
screws, including those supplied for mounting MiDOS products because they have
slightly larger heads.
Once the tier is complete, the frames are fastened into the racks using mounting angles at each end of the tier.
P94V-TM-EN-10.2 289
Chapter 14 - Installation P94V
Products can be mechanically grouped into single tier (4U) or multi-tier arrangements using the rack frame. This
enables schemes using products from different product ranges to be pre-wired together before mounting.
Use blanking plates to fill any empty spaces. The spaces may be used for installing future products or because the
total size is less than 80TE on any tier. Blanking plates can also be used to mount ancillary components. The part
numbers are as follows:

The old K-series products can be removed by sliding the cradle out of the case. The new P40 Agile cradle can then
be inserted into the old case as shown below:
If there is any doubt as to the integrity of any of these aspects, contact your local representative.

Chapter 14 - Installation P94V
Caution:
After removing the K-series product from its case, refit it into the case that came with
your device, for storage or reuse in another location.
A K-series device provides a 48 V DC field voltage between terminals 7 and 8. This field voltage is intended for
driving auxiliary equipment such as opto-inputs. P40 Agile devices DO NOT provide this field voltage. For this
reason, P40 Agile retrofit devices have internal shorting links between terminals 7 and 13, and terminals 8 and 14
respectively. The intention of this is to provide the auxiliary supply voltage to terminals 7 and 8 in lieue of the field
voltage.
Caution:
The voltage on terminals 7 and 8 mirrors that of the auxiliary supply voltage. Therefore,
if the auxiliary supply voltage on terminals 13 and 14 is not 48 V DC, then the voltage on
terminals 7 and 8 is also not 48 V DC.
Caution:
When retrofitting a K-series device, ensure the load on terminals 7 and 8 is limited to a
maximum of 5A. A jumplead with a 5A ceramic timelag fuse is fitted internally.
If the internal fuse link opens while in operation you need to return the relay to the
factory for repair. Do not perform an on-site repair.
If specified at the time of order, the internal fuselink will be fitted to terminals 7 and 8. If not, the device will be
provided with two external shorting links to be installed in the field.
Warning:
Make sure all power sources to the K-series terminals are turned off or isolated
before you begin installing the shorting links to terminals 7 and 8.
3.2.1 CONVENTIONS
The P40 Agile products have different conventions from the K-series products when it comes to numbering some
hardware components. It is very important that you are aware of this. This is just a matter of convention and does
not affect the terminal compatibility.
The equivalencies are as follows:

Caution:
Before carrying out any work on the equipment you should be familiar with the Safety
Section and the ratings on the equipment’s rating label.
The MiDOS terminal block consists of up to 28 x M4 screw terminals. The wires should be terminated with rings
using 90° ring terminals, with no more than two rings per terminal. The products are supplied with sufficient M4
screws.
M4 90° crimp ring terminals are available in three different sizes depending on the wire size. Each type is available
in bags of 100.

P94V Chapter 14 - Installation
Caution:
Protect the auxiliary power supply wiring with a maximum 16 A high rupture capacity
(HRC) type NIT or TIA fuse.
Use a wire size of at least 2.5 mm2 terminated with a ring terminal.
Due to the physical limitations of the ring terminal, the maximum wire size you can use is 6.0 mm2 using ring
terminals that are not pre-insulated. If using pre insulated ring terminals, the maximum wire size is reduced to 2.63
mm2 per ring terminal. If you need a greater cross-sectional area, use two wires in parallel, each terminated in a
separate ring terminal.
The wire should have a minimum voltage rating of 300 V RMS.
Note:
To prevent any possibility of electrolytic action between brass or copper ground conductors and the rear panel of the product,
precautions should be taken to isolate them from one another. This could be achieved in several ways, including placing a
nickel-plated or insulating washer between the conductor and the product case, or using tinned ring terminals.
To guarantee the performance specifications, you must ensure continuity of the screen, when daisy chaining the
connections. The device is supplied with an earth link pack (part number ZA0005092) consisting of an earth link
and a self-tapping screw to facilitate this requirement.
The earth link is fastened to the Midos block just below terminal number 56 as shown:

Chapter 15 - Commissioning Instructions P94V
2 GENERAL GUIDELINES
General Electric IEDs are self-checking devices and will raise an alarm in the unlikely event of a failure. This is why
the commissioning tests are less extensive than those for non-numeric electronic devices or electro-mechanical
relays.
To commission the devices, you (the commissioning engineer) do not need to test every function. You need only
verify that the hardware is functioning correctly and that the application-specific software settings have been
applied. You can check the settings by extracting them using the settings application software, or by means of the
front panel interface (HMI panel).
The menu language is user-selectable, so you can change it for commissioning purposes if required.
Note:
Remember to restore the language setting to the customer’s preferred language on completion.
Caution:
Before carrying out any work on the equipment you should be familiar with the
contents of the Safety Section or Safety Guide SFTY/4LM as well as the ratings on the
equipment’s rating label.
304 P94V-TM-EN-10.2
P94V Chapter 15 - Commissioning Instructions
Note:
When the Test Mode cell is set to Contacts Blocked, the relay output status indicates which contacts would operate if
the IED was in-service. It does not show the actual status of the output relays, as they are blocked.
P94V-TM-EN-10.2 305
Chapter 15 - Commissioning Instructions P94V
Caution:
When the cell is in Test Mode, the Scheme Logic still drives the output relays, which
could result in tripping of circuit breakers. To avoid this, set the Test Mode cell to
Contacts Blocked.
Note:
Test mode and Contacts Blocked mode can also be selected by energising an opto-input mapped to the Test Mode
signal, and the Contact Block signal respectively.
Note:
When the Test Mode cell is set to Contacts Blocked the Relay O/P Status cell does not show the current status of the
output relays and therefore cannot be used to confirm operation of the output relays. Therefore it will be necessary to monitor
the state of each contact in turn.
Note:
When the status in both Red LED Status and Green LED Status cells is ‘1’, this indicates the LEDs illumination is yellow.

P94V Chapter 15 - Commissioning Instructions
4 COMMISSIONING EQUIPMENT
Specialist test equipment is required to commission this product. We recognise three classes of equipment for
commissioning :
● Recommended
● Essential
● Advisory
Recommended equipment constitutes equipment that is both necessary, and sufficient, to verify correct
performance of the principal protection functions.
Essential equipment represents the minimum necessary to check that the product includes the basic expected
protection functions and that they operate within limits.
Advisory equipment represents equipment that is needed to verify satisfactory operation of features that may be
unused, or supplementary, or which may, for example, be integral to a distributed control/automation scheme.
Operation of such features may, perhaps, be more appropriately verified as part of a customer defined
commissioning requirement, or as part of a system-level commissioning regime.

Chapter 15 - Commissioning Instructions P94V
308 P94V-TM-EN-10.2
P94V Chapter 15 - Commissioning Instructions
5 PRODUCT CHECKS
These product checks are designed to ensure that the device has not been physically damaged prior to
commissioning, is functioning correctly and that all input quantity measurements are within the stated tolerances.
If the application-specific settings have been applied to the IED prior to commissioning, you should make a copy of
the settings. This will allow you to restore them at a later date if necessary. This can be done by:
● Obtaining a setting file from the customer.
● Extracting the settings from the IED itself, using a portable PC with appropriate setting software.
If the customer has changed the password that prevents unauthorised changes to some of the settings, either the
revised password should be provided, or the original password restored before testing.
Note:
If the password has been lost, a recovery password can be obtained from General Electric.
Warning:
The following group of tests should be carried out without the auxiliary supply being
applied to the IED and, if applicable, with the trip circuit isolated.
The current and voltage transformer connections must be isolated from the IED for these checks. If a P991 test
block is provided, the required isolation can be achieved by inserting test plug type P992. This open circuits all
wiring routed through the test block.
Before inserting the test plug, you should check the scheme diagram to ensure that this will not cause damage or
a safety hazard (the test block may, for example, be associated with protection current transformer circuits). The
sockets in the test plug, which correspond to the current transformer secondary windings, must be linked before
the test plug is inserted into the test block.
If a test block is not provided, the voltage transformer supply to the IED should be isolated by means of the panel
links or connecting blocks. The line current transformers should be short-circuited and disconnected from the IED
terminals. Where means of isolating the auxiliary supply and trip circuit (for example isolation links, fuses and MCB)
are provided, these should be used. If this is not possible, the wiring to these circuits must be disconnected and the
exposed ends suitably terminated to prevent them from being a safety hazard.
Caution:
Check the rating information provided with the device. Check that the IED being
tested is correct for the line or circuit.
Carefully examine the IED to see that no physical damage has occurred since installation.
Ensure that the case earthing connections (bottom left-hand corner at the rear of the IED case) are used to
connect the IED to a local earth bar using an adequate conductor.
5.1.2 INSULATION
Insulation resistance tests are only necessary during commissioning if explicitly requested.
P94V-TM-EN-10.2 309
Chapter 15 - Commissioning Instructions P94V
Isolate all wiring from the earth and test the insulation with an electronic or brushless insulation tester at a DC
voltage not exceeding 500 V. Terminals of the same circuits should be temporarily connected together.
The insulation resistance should be greater than 100 MW at 500 V.
On completion of the insulation resistance tests, ensure all external wiring is correctly reconnected to the IED.
Caution:
Check that the external wiring is correct according to the relevant IED and scheme
diagrams. Ensure that phasing/phase rotation appears to be as expected.
The auxiliary DC voltage supply uses terminals 13 (supply positive) and 14 (supply negative). Unlike the K-series
products, the P40Agile series does not provide a field voltage supply. For K-series retrofit applications where pin-
to-pin compatibility is required, the equivalent P40 Agile products emulate the field voltage supply by having
internal links between pins 7 and 13, and pins 8 and 14, respectively.
Warning:
Do not energise the IED or interface unit using the battery charger with the battery
disconnected as this can irreparably damage the power supply circuitry.
Caution:
Energise the IED only if the auxiliary supply is within the specified operating ranges.
If a test block is provided, it may be necessary to link across the front of the test plug
to connect the auxiliary supply to the IED.
Warning:
The current and voltage transformer connections must remain isolated from the IED
for these checks. The trip circuit should also remain isolated to prevent accidental
operation of the associated circuit breaker.
The following group of tests verifies that the IED hardware and software is functioning correctly and should be
carried out with the supply applied to the IED.

Caution:
Before applying a contrast setting, make sure that it will not make the display so
light or dark such that menu text becomes unreadable. It is possible to restore the

For K-Bus applications, pins 54 and 56 are not polarity sensitive and it does not matter which way round the wires
are connected. EIA(RS)485 is polarity sensitive, so you must ensure the wires are connected the correct way round
(pin 54 is positive, pin 56 is negative).
If K-Bus is being used, a Kitz protocol converter (KITZ101, KITZ102 OR KITZ201) will have been installed to convert
the K-Bus signals into RS232. Likewise, if RS485 is being used, an RS485-RS232 converter will have been installed.
In the case where a protocol converter is being used, a laptop PC running appropriate software (such as MiCOM S1
Agile) can be connected to the incoming side of the protocol converter. An example for K-bus to RS232 conversion
is shown below. RS485 to RS232 would follow the same principle, only using a RS485-RS232 converter. Most
modern laptops have USB ports, so it is likely you will also require a RS232 to USB converter too.

6 SETTING CHECKS
The setting checks ensure that all of the application-specific settings (both the IED’s function and programmable
scheme logic settings) have been correctly applied.
Note:
If applicable, the trip circuit should remain isolated during these checks to prevent accidental operation of the associated
circuit breaker.
Note:
The device name may not already exist in the system shown in System Explorer. In this case, perform a Quick Connect to the
IED, then manually add the settings file to the device name in the system. Refer to the Settings Application Software help for
details of how to do this.

8. Press the Enter key to confirm the new setting value or the Clear key to discard it. The new setting is
automatically discarded if it is not confirmed within 15 seconds.
9. For protection group settings and disturbance recorder settings, the changes must be confirmed before
they are used. When all required changes have been entered, return to the column heading level and press
the down cursor key. Before returning to the default display, the following prompt appears.
Update settings?
ENTER or CLEAR
10. Press the Enter key to accept the new settings or press the Clear key to discard the new settings.
Note:
If the menu time-out occurs before the setting changes have been confirmed, the setting values are also discarded.
Control and support settings are updated immediately after they are entered, without the Update settings prompt.
It is not possible to change the PSL using the IED’s front panel HMI.
Caution:
Where the installation needs application-specific PSL, the relevant .psl files, must be
transferred to the IED, for each and every setting group that will be used. If you do
not do this, the factory default PSL will still be resident. This may have severe
operational and safety consequences.
316 P94V-TM-EN-10.2
P94V Chapter 15 - Commissioning Instructions
Note:
If using the default PSL, use output relay 3 as this is already mapped to the DDB signal Trip Command Out.
4. Connect the output relay so that its operation will trip the test set and stop the timer.
5. Connect the voltage output of the test set to the A-phase voltage transformer input.
6. Ensure that the timer starts when the voltage is applied.
For all characteristics, allowance must be made for the accuracy of the test equipment being used.
Note:
For definite time and inverse characteristics there is an additional delay of up to 0.02 second and 0.08 second respectively.
You may need to add this the IED's acceptable range of operating times.

Chapter 15 - Commissioning Instructions P94V
Caution:
On completion of the tests, you must restore all settings that were disabled for
testing purposes.

8 ONLOAD CHECKS
The objectives of the on-load checks are to:
● Confirm the external wiring to the voltage inputs is correct
● Check the phase rotation
● Check the magnitudes of the phase voltages and the check synchronisation voltage
These checks can only be carried out if there are no restrictions preventing the energisation of the plant, and the
other devices in the group have already been commissioned.
Remove all test leads and temporary shorting links, then replace any external wiring that has been removed to
allow testing.
Warning:
If any external wiring has been disconnected for the commissioning process, replace
it in accordance with the relevant external connection or scheme diagram.
If the Local Values cell is set to Secondary, the values displayed should be equal to the applied secondary
voltage. The values should be within 1% of the applied secondary voltages. However, an additional allowance must
be made for the accuracy of the test equipment being used.
If the Local Values cell is set to Primary, the values displayed should be equal to the applied secondary voltage
multiplied the corresponding voltage transformer ratio set in the CT AND VT RATIOS column. The values should be
within 1% of the expected values, plus an additional allowance for the accuracy of the test equipment being used.
P94V-TM-EN-10.2 319
Chapter 15 - Commissioning Instructions P94V
9 FINAL CHECKS
1. Remove all test leads and temporary shorting leads.
2. If you have had to disconnect any of the external wiring in order to perform the wiring verification tests,
replace all wiring, fuses and links in accordance with the relevant external connection or scheme diagram.
3. The settings applied should be carefully checked against the required application-specific settings to ensure
that they are correct, and have not been mistakenly altered during testing.
4. Ensure that all protection elements required have been set to Enabled in the CONFIGURATION column.
5. Ensure that the IED has been restored to service by checking that the Test Mode cell in the COMMISSION
TESTS column is set to Disabled.
6. If the IED is in a new installation or the circuit breaker has just been maintained, the circuit breaker
maintenance and current counters should be zero. These counters can be reset using the Reset All Values
cell. If the required access level is not active, the device will prompt for a password to be entered so that the
setting change can be made.
7. If the menu language has been changed to allow accurate testing it should be restored to the customer’s
preferred language.
8. If a P991/MMLG test block is installed, remove the P992/MMLB test plug and replace the cover so that the
protection is put into service.
9. Ensure that all event records, fault records, disturbance records, alarms and LEDs and communications
statistics have been reset.
Note:
Remember to restore the language setting to the customer’s preferred language on completion.
