MiCOM P43x
Distance Protection

The distance protection devices of the MiCOM P43x range are designed for selective short-circuit protection, ground fault protection and overload protection. They can be applied in all kind of medium-, high- and extra-high-voltage systems. The wide range of protection functions covers all kind of applications in cable and overhead line protection. In addition numerous back-up protection and control functions are available. P43x provide four setting groups for easy adaptation to varying system operation conditions. The user-friendly user interface as well as the various communication interfaces allow easy and entire device settings and readings from extensive recordings. Numerous integrated communication protocols allow easy interfacing to almost any kind of substation control or SCADA system. Furthermore the integrated protection interface InterMiCOM provides direct end-end communication between two protection devices. The specially flat compact case of P430C as well as the standard 19'' modular cases of P433, P435 and P437 with variable number of plug-in modules provide a flexible solution for easy integration of the devices into the substation. Both case variants are available for flush monting and wall mounting.

MAIN FUNCTIONS
Main functions are autonomous function groups and can be individually configured or disabled to suit a particular application. Function groups that are not required and have been disabled by the user are masked completely (except for the configuration parameter) and functional support is withdrawn from such groups. This concept permits an extensive scope of functions and universal application of the device in a single design version, while at the same time providing for a clear and straight-forward setting procedure and adaptation to the protection and control task under consideration.

MiCOM P43x provides full functionality at your disposal.

DISTANCE PROTECTION
The devices are equipped with elaborate fault detection elements that can be adapted to the individual application. They provide reliable fault detection and fault type determination even under difficult system conditions. The following criteria are continuously monitored: > > > > Overcurrent (I>>) Undervoltage (V<) Underimpedance with load blinding (Z<) Ground fault detection adaptable to system grounding.

Fault Detection Characteristics

Tripping Characteristics Six distance zones can be set in total. Each zone can be set as forward, backward or non-directional to suit requirements. Zone 1 extension is provided and controlled by integrated functions such as autoreclosing control or protective signaling or by an external signal. Special zone 4 is provided, to allow auto-reclosing only on the overhead-line section in cable/line systems or to compensate the bundle conductor effect. P437 could optionally be equipped with an additional CT input to measure the residual current of a parallel line to provide mutual coupling compensation.

Power System Grounding

SWITCH ON TO FAULT PROTECTION

Closing of a circuit breaker might inadvertently lead to a short-circuit fault due to a maintenance ground clamp not yet removed, for example. 'Switch on to fault protection' provides an undelayed protective tripping during a settable time after a manual close command has been issued.

GROUND-FAULT DIRECTION DETERMINATION

For the determination of the ground-fault direction in isolated or Peterson-coil compensated power systems two proven methods are provided: > wattmetric method (analysis of steady-state signals), complemented by signaling scheme and trip logic; > transient method (analysis of time-signals) (optional).

POWER SWING BLOCKING / OUT-OF-STEP TRIPPING

Power swings between generators due to severe load variations or system faults may cause measured impedances to enter distance zones. To avoid incorrect tripping, the devices measure the rated change of power to implement blocking for the duration of the swing. In case of short-circuits during a power swing, the blocking is disabled immediately to allow distance elements to operate. Alternatively an out-of-step tripping feature can be activated which operates either on fast power change or upon detection of instable swings. Ground-faults are detected by monitoring the neutral displacement voltage and neutral current. Depending on the grounding of the system starpoint either earthfault direction determination or sensitive highimpedance ground-short-circuit protection is required.

GROUND SHORT-CIRCUIT PROTECTION

A highly sensitive zero-sequence power directional protection (Br.: Directional Earth-Fault protection, DEF) is integrated as back-up protection for high-impedance ground short-circuits in low-impedance grounded systems. In order to achieve high-speed tripping, the device is equipped with a supplementary ground fault (shortcircuit) protection signaling logic (Br.: DEF scheme logic) that provides both: > Release (permissive) scheme > Blocking scheme. This scheme logic can be set up in parallel and independently from the distance scheme logic.

PROTECTIVE SIGNALING
The distance reach is usually set to values below 100 % line length so as to avoid overlapping of adjacent substations. Protective signaling (teleprotection scheme logic) extends the reach of protection to 100 % by a logic operation on the signals received from the remote substation. Protective signaling can be operated using one of the standard schemes: > > > > > > Direct Transfer Trip (DTT) Permissive Underreaching Transfer Trip (PUTT) Zone Extension Permissive Overreaching Transfer Trip (POTT) Blocking Scheme (incl. DC loop) Reverse Interlocking (busbar protection)

PROTECTION INTERFACE INTERMiCOM

Optional InterMiCOM allows high performance permissive and blocking type unit protection to be configured, plus transfer of any digital status information between line ends. Intertripping is supported too, with channel health monitoring and cyclic redundancy checks (CRC) on the received data for maximum message security. InterMiCOM provides eight end-end signal bits, assignable to any function within a MiCOM relay's programmable logic. Default failsafe states can be set in case of channel outage.

With P437 phase-selective signal transmission is possible. Where required, the following additional features can be activated: > > > > > Weak infeed trip logic Echo Transient blocking Deblocking Channel Test Send signal.

INFORMATION INTERFACES
Information exchange is done via the local control panel, the PC interface and two optional communication interfaces. One of the communication interfaces conforms to IEC 60870-5-103, IEC 60870-5-101, DNP 3.0, Modbus and Courier (IEC 61850 under development) and is intended for integration with substation control systems. The 2nd communication interface conforms to IEC 60870-5-103 and is intended for central settings or remote access. Clock synchronization can be achieved using one of the protocols or using the IRIG-B signal input. One Record per Fault (incl. oscillography, SOE, Fault Measurands)
