Introduction
The KBCH relay provides a package of functions primarily for the protection of transformers and generator transformers but may also be applied to protect reactors and generators. As a part of the K-range of relays, the KBCH can be integrated into an overall protection and control system by utilising its integral serial communications facility.

Application
Type KBCH relays offer biased differential current, restricted earth fault and overfluxing protections primarily for the protection of two or three winding power transformers, auto transformers or generatortransformer units. The KBCH is also suitable for other applications where biased differential protection is appropriate (eg. generators, reactors and motors). All models are three phase units with internal vector group compensation and line current transformer ratio correction, thus eliminating the need for interposing transformers in most cases. Up to four biased current inputs per phase can be provided to cater for power transformers with more than two windings and/or more than one circuit breaker controlling each winding, as in mesh or one-and-ahalf circuit-breaker busbar arrangements. Versions are available that can accommodate a mixture of 1A (HV) and 5A (LV) CTs. Typical applications are shown in Figures 7, 8 and 9. In addition to the biased differential protection, restricted earth fault protection has been included to cover a larger percentage of the transformer windings. Figure 10 shows some typical restricted earth fault applications. The differential protection has been designed to restrain when the transformer is overfluxed so that an instantaneous trip is not issued for transient overfluxing. Since a transformer cannot withstand a severe overfluxing condition indefinitely, time delayed overfluxing protection and an alarm stage has been incorporated. Contacts that monitor the status of external plant, such as Buchholz protection and temperature measuring devices, can be connected to any of the eight control inputs that are available. Each input can be routed to any number of the output relays via a variable time delay if required.

The functions of each of the auxiliary inputs can be recorded on the table situated on the relay frontplate. This allows the indication on the relay, which flags the operation of the timers associated with these inputs (AUX0, AUX1 etc.) to be readily interpreted.

15% mismatch when the power transformer is at the limit of its tap range, in addition to current transformer ratio errors. At currents above rated, extra errors may be gradually introduced as a result of CT saturation. The bias slope is therefore increased to 80% to compensate for this. A magnetising inrush element and a selectable overfluxing element are included. These are used to inhibit the relay and prevent unwanted tripping under these conditions. The use of the traditional second harmonic restraint technique, to block the relay during inrush conditions, may result in a significant slowing of the relay during heavy internal faults. This is due to the presence of second harmonics as a result of saturation of the line current transformers.

Functions
Biased differential element Each relay, contains a biased differential element per phase with a characteristic as shown in Figure 2. The minimum differential current required for operation is adjustable between 10% and 50% of rated current. The KBCH has a dual slope bias characteristic (Figure 2). The initial slope of 20%, from zero to rated current, ensures sensitivity to faults whilst allowing for up to

To overcome this, the KBCH uses a waveform recognition technique. The current waveform associated with magnetising inrush is characterised by a period of each cycle where its magnitude is very small, as shown in Figure 3. By measuring the time of this period of low current, an inrush condition can be identified. Overfluxing restraint is conditioned by the percentage of fifth harmonic current present. High set differential element An additional high set instantaneous differential element is provided to ensure rapid clearance of heavy faults. This element is essentially peak measuring to ensure fast operation for internal faults with saturated CTs. Restricted earth fault protection Greater sensitivity for earth faults is obtained by including restricted earth fault protection. A separate element per winding is provided. An externally mounted stabilising resistor will be necessary for optimum performance. In applications where heavy internal earth fault levels can occur and where a high stabilising resistor setting is used, a voltage limiting, non-linear resistor may be required.

Overfluxing alarm and tripping protection A single phase-phase connected voltage input is provided to enable overfluxing detection. Alarm and tripping characteristics, which are based on a measurement of the voltage/frequency ratio, are provided. The alarm is definite time delayed whilst the trip characteristic may be selected as either definite time or an inverse time curve, as shown in Figure 4.

Inputs and outputs KBCH has 8 optically isolated inputs which may be reassigned by the user with any of the available functions from the setting menu. There are 8 programmable outputs, each comprising a relay with 1 normally open contact, which may also be reassigned by the user. A dedicated watchdog contact with 1 normally open and 1 normally closed contact is also available. Typical applications diagrams (Figures 7, 8 and 9) show the default settings of functions as they are assigned in the factory. Alternative setting group Two setting groups are provided. This allows the user to set one group to normal operating conditions while a second group may be set to cover alternative operating conditions.

Configuration
Logic The configuration of the relay is accomplished in software. The setting of logic function links, together with the input and output masks, define the way the relay will operate. This allows: Selection of features Implementation of user defined logic using auxiliary timers Control of the integral disturbance recorder. These may be user defined via the relay front panel function keys, or remotely by a PC (personal computer) via the communications system. The logic also allows the local or remote control of the transfomer tap changer.

Ancillary functions
Measurements The relay can display the magnitude of phase currents for each input, differential current and average bias current. Primary display quantities are based on the ratios of the line current transformers which may be programmed into the relay as a setting. The power system frequency is also displayed. Fault records The fault flags for the last five faults are recorded by the relay. Additional records of the magnitude of the fault currents are also stored for the last fault. All of the records are stored in a non-volatile memory for local or remote retrieval. Event records Fifty events can be stored in a buffer. Software is available to allow the events to be accessed remotely by a PC via the communications system. Any change of state of a control input or output relay, local setting change or operation of a control function, is logged by the relay with a resolution of 1ms. Fault records and alarms are also stored as events. Disturbance records The internal disturbance recorder has sixteen analogue channels and sixteen digital channels. The analogue channels record up to nine phase currents (three per transformer winding) three differential currents, three average bias currents and the voltage. The digital channels record the status of the output relays and control inputs. The disturbance records can be accessed and displayed remotely by a PC, via the communications system.

Test features A number of features are provided to enable the relay to be thoroughly tested during commissioning, routine maintenance and fault finding operations: The measurement functions allow each analogue input and its associated wiring to be checked. The on/off states of the digital inputs and relay outputs can be displayed. Trip test facility Power-on diagnostics and self monitoring Power-on diagnostic tests are carried out by the relay when it is energised. These tests include checks on the timer, microprocessor, memory and the analogue input circuitry. Continuous self-monitoring, in the form of watchdog circuitry and memory checks are also performed. In the event of a failure, the relay will either lock out or attempt a recovery, depending on the type of failure detected.

The front plate contains a 2 x 16 character, alphanumeric liquid crystal display (LCD) and 4 pushbuttons to provide local access to the relays menu. There are also 3 light emitting diodes (LED) for visual indication of the relays status. Standard Midos terminal blocks are located at the rear of the relay providing connections for all input and output circuits.

User Interface
Front panel user interface The features of the relay can be accessed through a menu-driven system. The menu is arranged in the form of a table, into each column of which related items (menu cells) are grouped. The user can move around the menu by means of the keys on the relay frontplate. This can be done with the cover in place, but any change to the settings requires the cover to be removed. Remote access user interface The menu table can also be accessed via the remote communications facility. This allows all of the menu cells in a column to be displayed simultaneously on the screen of a PC. Changes to the menu cell can be made from the PC keyboard. Relay interconnection The relays can be interconnected via a shielded, twisted wire pair known as K-Bus. Up to 32 relays may be connected in parallel across the bus. The K-Bus is connected through a protocol converter known as KITZ, either directly or via a modem, to the RS-232 port of the PC. The K-Bus is RS-485 based and runs at 64kbits/s. The K-Bus connection is shown in Figure 5. This system allows up to 32 relays to be accessed through one RS-232 communications port (Figure 6). Software is available with each KITZ to provide access to the relays to read and change settings.

Hardware Description
The relay is housed in a Midos size 8 case, suitable for either rack or panel mounting as shown in Figure 11. The relay uses a highly integrated 16-bit micro-controller, which performs most of the major software functions such as input signal processing, scheme logic, output relay control and handling of the operator interface. An additional digital signal processor is provided to carry out the protection algorithm. The number of analogue inputs depends upon the version of the relay. There are 6, 9 or 12 bias current inputs, 2 or 3 zero sequence current inputs for the restricted earth fault protection and a voltage input for the overfluxing protection. The internal transducers are used to isolate, step down and condition the inputs from the VT and CTs. Their output signals are then converted into digital data for further processing.

Additional software entitled Protection Access Software & Toolkit is also available. This provides access to the disturbance recorder and the event recorder together with other additional functions. Each relay is directly addressable over the bus to allow communication with the PC. It should be noted that protection tripping and blocking signals are not routed via the K-Bus. Separate conventional wiring is used for these functions. Where appropriate, the isolated 48V dc supply available on each relay is used to energize its optically isolated inputs via external contacts. Communications protocol The communications protocol used with K Series relays is designated Courier. The Courier language has been developed specifically for the purpose of developing generic PC programs that will, without modification, communicate with any device using the Courier language. In the Courier system, all information resides in the relay. Each time communication is established with the relay, the requested information is loaded to the PC. The protocol includes extensive error checking routines to ensure that the system remains reliable and secure. Password protection Password protection is provided on settings which alter the configuration of the relay, any accidental change to which could seriously affect the ability of the relay to perform its intended function. These include: enable/disable settings, protection function characteristic selection, scheme logic settings and system CT and VT ratios.
