    Safety Section P44x/EN SS/H11 (SS) — 3 STANDARD SAFETY STATEMENTS AND EXTERNAL LABEL INFORMATION FOR ALSTOM GRID EQUIPMENT INTRODUCTION This Safety Section and the relevant equipment documentation provide full information on safe handling, commissioning and testing of this equipment. This Safety Section also includes reference to typical equipment label markings.

  • Page 10: Symbols

    P44x/EN SS/H11 Safety Section (SS) — 4 SYMBOLS AND LABELS ON THE EQUIPMENT For safety reasons the following symbols which may be used on the equipment or referred to in the equipment documentation, should be understood before it is installed or commissioned.

  • Page 11
    Safety Section P44x/EN SS/H11 (SS) — 5 Watchdog (self-monitoring) contacts are provided in numerical relays to indicate the health of the device. Alstom Grid strongly recommends that these contacts are hardwired into the substation’s automation system, for alarm purposes. To ensure that wires are correctly terminated the correct crimp terminal and tool for the wire size should be used.

    Programmable Logic P44x/EN PL/Hb6 MiCOM 40 Agile P442, P444 (PL) 6-5 PROGRAMMABLE LOGIC (PSL) The Programmable Scheme Logic (PSL) is a module of programmable logic gates and timers in the IED, which can be used to create customised internal logic. This is done by combining the IED’s digital inputs with internally generated digital signals using logic gates and timers, then mapping the resultant signals to the IED’s digital outputs and LEDs.

The relays employ a high degree of self-checking and, in the unlikely event of a failure, will give an alarm. As a result of this, the commissioning tests do not need to be as extensive as with non-numerical electronic or electro-mechanical relays.

In view of the critical nature of protective relays and their infrequent operation, it is desirable to confirm that they are operating correctly at regular intervals.

Due to the extensive use of surface-mount components faulty PCBs must be replaced as it is not possible to perform repairs on damaged circuits.

    Installation P44x/EN IN/Hb6 MiCOM P40 Agile P442, P444 (IN) 14-5 RECEIPT OF RELAYS Protective relays, although generally of robust construction, require careful treatment prior to installation on site. On receipt, relays should be examined immediately to ensure no external damage has been sustained in transit.

    P44x/EN IN/Hb6 Installation (IN) 14-6 MiCOM P40 Agile P442, P444 HANDLING OF ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT A person’s normal movements can easily generate electrostatic potentials of several thousand volts. Discharge of these voltages into semiconductor devices when handling electronic circuits can cause serious damage which, although not always immediately apparent, will reduce the reliability of the circuit.

    P14D 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).

  • Page 48: Upgrading/Servicing

    Chapter 2 — Safety Information P14D Note: For most Alstom 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.

A forward overpower condition occurs when the system load becomes excessive. A generator is rated to supply a certain amount of power and if it attempts to supply power to the system greater than its rated capacity, it could be damaged.

    Chapter 13 — Autoreclose P14D INTRODUCTION TO 3-PHASE AUTORECLOSE It is known that approximately 80 — 90% of faults are transient in nature. This means that most faults do not last long and are self-clearing. A common example of a transient fault is an insulator flashover, which may be caused for example by lightning, clashing conductors or wind-blown debris.

  • Page 462: General Guidelines

    Chapter 20 — Commissioning Instructions P14D 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.

  • Page 463: Commissioning Test Menu

    P14D Chapter 20 — Commissioning Instructions COMMISSIONING TEST MENU The IED provides several test facilities under the COMMISSION TESTS menu heading. There are menu cells that allow you to monitor the status of the opto-inputs, output relay contacts, internal Digital Data Bus (DDB) signals and user-programmable LEDs.

  • Page 464: Test Pattern Cell

    Chapter 20 — Commissioning Instructions P14D 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.

  • Page 468: Product Checks

    Chapter 20 — Commissioning Instructions P14D 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.

  • Page 469: Insulation

    P14D Chapter 20 — Commissioning Instructions Check that the current transformer shorting switches in the case are wired into the correct circuit. Ensure that, during withdrawal, they are closed by checking with a continuity tester. The shorting switches are between terminals 21 and 22, 23 and 24, 25 and 26, and 27 and 28.

  • Page 470: Product Checks With The Ied Energised

    Chapter 20 — Commissioning Instructions P14D PRODUCT CHECKS WITH THE IED ENERGISED 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.

  • Page 471: Test Leds

    P14D Chapter 20 — Commissioning Instructions 5.2.4 TEST LEDS On power-up, all LEDs should first flash yellow. Following this, the green «Healthy» LED should illuminate indicating that the device is healthy. The IED’s non-volatile memory stores the states of the alarm, the trip, and the user-programmable LED indicators (if configured to latch).

    P14D Chapter 20 — Commissioning Instructions 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.

  • Page 482: Final Checks

    Chapter 20 — Commissioning Instructions P14D FINAL CHECKS Remove all test leads and temporary shorting leads. 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. 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 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 r
