VIP 300 protection relay for Ringmaster

VIP 300 protection relay Protection relay

Providing a wide range of selectivity and quality of supply

The VIP 300 is a three phase overcurrent and earth fault protection relay, providing protection for the network and equipment. It is an integral part of the highly successful Ringmaster range of secondary distribution switchgear. The main function of the relay is to detect overcurrent and earth faults within the network and to trip the circuit breaker.

Self powered reliability

The VIP 300 protection relay is a self powered microprocessor based unit which requires no external DC power source or batteries, making it the ideal solution for location in remote areas or where auxiliary supplies are not available.

VIP 300 protection relay Benefits

Flexibility
There are a wide range of settings available. The IDMT (inverse definite minimum time) characteristics can be adjusted to grade the relay with other devices. Fast power up ensures that when switched on to a fault the power up time is less than )30ms.

Testing
The VAP6 hand held test unit, is available to provide a simple check of the integrity of the relay and can also perform trip tests. Circuit breaker trip inhibit facility allows the relay to be tested without tripping the circuit breaker using the VAP6. Secondary injection can be carried out using conventional test equipment.

Ease of use
VIP 300 has improved operation and control, with the relay settings being clearly displayed on the front panel. Manual reset flags show separate tripped on fault for either overcurrent or earth fault conditions.

Reliability
The relay has a self monitoring device and diagnostic routine which constantly checks the operation of the relay automatically.

VIP 300 protection relay Choice of operating ranges

Selection principle
The operating range for the VIP 300 is dependent on the current transformer (also referred to as sensor) used, which is determined by the Ringmaster panel type chosen from the selection guide. The relay itself can then be set to either the x2 or x4 range as detailed in the table below.

VIP 300 protection relay Application

Selection principles
Required setting information.
Prior to making any settings, you need to know: Ir - rated current of installation to be protected.

Current transformer:
The current transformer is specified by the panel type chosen from the Ringmaster catalogue.

i)

Choice of range:

To select the minimum operating current and therefore required primary amp operating range two factors can be considered. - The load current and any possible allowable overload (typical allowable overload for transformers is 30%) - The earth fault level (typically set at 0.4 times rated current Ir) It is appropriate to choose the range which will operate above the minimum operating current. Effectively the relay can be operated below this level, see minimum operating note.

ii)
SI VI EI DT RI

Choice of curve*:
- Standard inverse, mainly used for feeder applications. - Very inverse, mainly used for transformer applications. - Extremely inverse, mainly used for transformer applications. - Definite time, used for timed applications. - Special applications (consult Merlin Gerin).

There are 5 types of curve available.

iii) Choice of current setting Is and Ios*:

Consider assumptions made in i) and choose the nearest appropriate current setting.

iv) Choice of low set time delay t> and to>*:

Desired operating time depends on the interval to achieve grading with upstream and downstream devices at the maximum and minimum fault levels. Between IDMT characteristics a grading margin of 0.4s is desired. Between an IDMT characteristic and a LV protective device a grading margin of 0.25s is considered acceptable.

v)

Choice of high set current setting I>> and Io>>:

I>> and Io>> are multiples of Is and Ios respectively. The high set element has the advantage of allowing the protection upstream to reduce its operating time at high fault levels. Grading is carried out at the instantaneous current setting and not at the maximum fault level, therefore it can be achieved at lower currents enabling the upstream device to operate quicker at the maximum fault level.

vi) Choice of high set time delay t>> and to>>:

Depending on grading required upstream and downstream. *Depends on characteristics of devices upstream and downstream. The selection principles only act as a guide to set up the VIP 300, a proper protection selectivity study should be carried out to set up device settings.

11

VIP 300 protection relay Application

Setting examples
Typical examples will be given.
Consider 4 examples: 1: 2: 3: 4: RN2c unit protecting a typical MV/LV 1MVA transformer. CE2 unit protecting a typical MV/LV 2MVA transformer. CE6 unit protecting a radial feeder with 4 RN2c units fed from it each feeding 1HVA transformers. CE6 unit protecting the same radial feed for which a planned extension is to make a ring feeding 8 RN2c units, each feeding 1HVA transformers.

Example schematic

12

VIP 300 protection relay Application - transformers

Example 1
An RN2c circuit breaker equipped with a VIP 300 feeds a 1000kVA transformer. The transformer details are as follows: Power rating = 1MVA Primary voltage = 11kV % Impedance Zt = 5% From this the rated current of the transformer can be calculated: Ir = Power voltage x 33 = 1000 x 103 = 52.5A 11000 x 33

The HV fault level (MVAs) will be assumed to be 250MVA. The three phase LV fault level can be calculated: 1 IFLV = 11kV x 33 112 + 112 x Zt MVAs MVAT 100

A @ 11kV

1 IFLV = 11kV x 33 112 + 112 x 5 250 1 100

A = 972A @ 11kV

The circuit breaker is fitted with 200/1A CTs. From the above the following will now be determined.

Choice of range:
The setting ranges available for the minimum operating currents are: x2 range, minimum operating current = 20A setting overcurrent 20A-100A earth fault 2A-80A x4 range, minimum operating current = 40A setting overcurrent 40A-200A earth fault 4A-160A By considering the minimum operating current of 20A (x2 range) then the transformer rated current is mid-point within the primary amp range. Hence there is room to consider possible overloads and earth fault levels. Range chosen x2 minimum operating current = 20A

Choice of curve:
In this case we are dealing with a MV/LV transformer. For this application the type of curve selected for overcurrent protection is usually either a VI or EI characteristic. These curves provide quicker operating times at higher fault currents to allow better protection of the transformer primary. The selection of these curves also helps in co-ordinating with the LV protective device on the secondary side of the transformer. For earth fault protection the curve selected is usually a definite time characteristic and is normally set quite low (typical 40% or 0.4 times the rated current). I> setting VI Io> setting DT

Choice of current setting:

Overcurrent Is If a typical overload of 30% is considered for the transformer. Is = overload x Ir = 1.3 x 52.5 = 68A Choose the nearest available setting above this in primary amps Is setting 72A. Earth fault Ios Consider a typical earth fault setting of 40% of transformer rated current, 20.8A Ios setting 24A DT only setting 1

13

VIP 300 protection relay Application - transformers

Choice of low set time delay:

Overcurrent t> The time setting corresponds to the actual relay operating time at 10 x Is, in this case 720A. The desired operating time for the relay is determined by the upstream and downstream protective devices. In this example the downstream device is on the LV network, we therefore have to ensure adequate time is given between the two devices upto maximum LV 3ph fault level. It is assumed the LV device is set at 0.1s at the maximum fault level and therefore the desired operating time for the VIP 300 is given as follows: Desired operating = time operating time + grading margin between of LV device devices = 0.1 + 0.25

VIP 300 protection relay Application - feeders

Example 3
A CE6 unit protects an 11kV radial feed feeding 4 RN2c units each subsequently feeding 1000kVA transformers. The CE6 is an extensible 630A circuit breaker complete with 800/1A CTs. Effective load current. Ir = power = 4000 x 103 voltage x 33 11000 x 33

= 210A

The HV three phase fault level is assumed as 250MVA. The earth fault level is assumed as 100 MVA. The corresponding fault current can be calculated from: I3ph MVAs voltage x 33
6 = 250 x 10 = 13121A 11000 x 33

I1ph

6 MVAEF = 100 x 10 = 5248A voltage x 33 11000 x 33

Choice of range:
min. operating current = 80A x2 range min. operating current = 160A x4 range overcurrent 80A - 400A overcurrent 160A - 800A earth fault earth fault 8A - 320A 8A - 640A

By selecting the minimum operating current of 80A (x2 range) then the feeder rated current is in the midpoint of the range. Range chosen x2 minimum operating current = 80A

Choice of curve:
This example deals with feeder protection, SI or VI curves are suitable as they have slower operating times for high fault levels. It depends on the device upstream and downstream and the discrimination to be achieved at the HV fault level. I> Io> SI SI

Choice of current setting:

Overcurrent protection should take into account the max load current, 210A, and possible overload of one or more of the transformers. Earth fault protection assumes a 40% earth fault. Is Ios 256A 96A

Choice of low set time delay setting:

Overcurrent: Consider example 1 as downstream device with t> setting equal to 0.5, a t> setting of 1.5 for the upstream device gives adequate margin over the entire characteristic t> 0.15 x 10.

For the earth fault element the downstream device operates at 0.1s, therefore the required operating time for the upstream relay is 0.5s at the maximum phase - earth fault level. t =
