PL-300 units are digital based multifunction protection
relays that incorporate simultaneously in a single unit a great
number of protection functions that can be selected within
a set of options to create a solution adapted to any user's
needs.
Apart from the protection functions, they incorporate a wide
range of optional characteristics as listed below:

INTRODUCTION

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Phase overcurrent (3*50/51) and neutral overcurrent
(50N/51N)
Protects the installations against phase to phase and phase
to earth faults, with instantaneous trips (2 levels) and timed
trips (programmable curves ANSI and IEC/BSC, and user
curves).
Phase directional overcurrent (67) and neutral directional
overcurrent (67N)
If the model includes directional overcurrent, the type of
polarization for phase and neutral directional can be
selected by setting:
67
Quadrature polarization
Sequence polarization
67N:
Polarization by V0
Polarization by V0, I0 (under request)
Sequence polarization
There are models of PL-300 that include a second
directional overcurrent unit.
If the 67N unit is current polarized, the T9 transformer
should measure the polarization current.
The connection of units that polarize by V0 will vary upon
models, this voltage can be connected to T4, T5, T9 or
internally calculated.
PROTECTION FUNCTIONS
Sensitive neutral overcurrent (50/51SN)
Models with sensitive neutral unit are able to detect very
resistive earth faults. For sensitive neutral measurement, it is
necessary to use a toroid transformer connected to
transformer T5 or T4, depending on the model chosen.
If the model has directional overcurrent, the type of directio-
nal for this function can be chosen via setting:
angular
watimetric
I * cos f
I * sen f
Isolated neutral overcurrent (67IN)
The high sensitivity and the directionality of this function
allows detecting earth faults for isolated neutral systems
and very resistive earth faults. The isolated neutral current is
measured using the same transformer as that used for the
sensitive neutral current measurement (see figure above).
Voltage controlled overcurrent (51V)
Lowers the pickup level of the overcurrent unit depending
on the voltage level. This reduces the tripping time in case
of severe faults (with voltage fall).
Cold Load Pickup
Avoids undesired trips produced by overcurrents at
connection time.
Tap changer lock (50TCL)
Enables an independent current level to be set which can
be used for various automatisms, such as tap changer lock,
to prevent the regulator from acting when the current is
enough to damage the tap changer.
Current unbalance (46)
Protects the installation against unbalances in current as a
result of anomalies in the power system or unbalanced
loads.
Broken conductor (46BC)
Detects when a phase of the installation comes down and
protects bays against this anomaly.
Breaker failure (50BF)
Detects failures in breaker actuation, providing information
to other protection units so that these accelerate their trip.
The PL-300 includes a three phase 50BF unit, and there are
models that include a single phase unit, monitoring each
phase separately
Overvoltage (59), undervoltage (27) and voltage
unbalance (47)
There are models of PL-300 with the following voltage
functions: overvoltage, undervoltage and voltage
unbalance, that can be independently enabled or disabled
according to customer needs.
Overvoltage function acts against voltage increases that
could endanger the isolation and security of the protected
units.
Undervoltage function protects, those loads connected to
the line, which are sensitive to line voltage drops.
Voltage unbalance function protects the installation against
the harmful effects of voltage unbalances, such as
excessive warming in motors, current unbalances, etc.
Zero sequence overvoltage (59N)
Protects against earth isolation failures in machines. Zero
sequence voltage can be obtained through an open delta
connection of the secondaries of three voltage transformers
(see polarization by V0 of 67N) or calculated as the vectorial
sum of the three phase simple voltages.
Thermal image (49)
Protect elements such as lines, transformers, etc, against
thermal overloads, calculating the temperature according to
the present and recent load conditions of the protected
device.
Fuse failure (68FF)
Detects if a fuse has blown up in the secondary circuit of the
voltage transformers. While detecting this situation,
functions 51V, 27 and 59N will remain locked.
4
Frequency unit (81 O, U, R)
Frequency units protect the Power System against loss of
balance between generated and demanded power.
There are models of PL-300 with the following frequency
functions: overfrequency and/or underfrequency and
frequency rate of change, that can be enabled or disabled
independently via setting according to customer needs.
There are 5 steps of frequency that can be programmed
independently as overfrequency or underfrequency,
allowing an underfrequency load shedding.
The frequency rate of change unit has 4 steps, this allows
the disconnection of loads before reaching undesired
frequency levels.
Power protection (32)
There are models of PL-300 with the following power
functions, that can be independently enabled or disabled
via setting according to customer needs:
Minimum active and apparent power (independent)
Maximum active and apparent power (independent)
Reverse power
The maximum and minimum power (active and apparent)
units protect against excessive increases and decreases of
the generated power.
The reverse power protection acts against motorization of
the generator.
Zones and pilot protection (85)
There are models of PL-300 that communicating with other
terminals allow the next pilot protection schemes:
Permissive overreach
Permissive underreach
Directional locking
Directional unlocking
Additional schemes:
ECO
Inverse direction locking
To carry out these schemes, the instantaneous units of 67
and 67N have 3 zones with independent settings for each
zone. The direction of zones 1 and 2 is forwards and the
zone 3 can be forwards or backwards.
Breaker monitoring (74TC/CC)
Breaker supervision by pole. Statistic of number of
breaker manoeuvres and breaker health monitoring by
SkI2 counter
Possibility of supervision of 4 coils
Protection functions locking feature
Each of the protection functions can be locked by a digital
input or logic function (see programmable logic).
Syncrocheck (25)
It is used to supervise the closing of a breaker with voltage
on both sides. The function enables the closing when the
angle, frequency and magnitude in both sides comply with
the set conditions. Synchrocheck function is made by
comparing voltages of phase B in both sides of the breaker.
The measurement of T7 is used against measurement of T9
or T5 connected to phase B of the other side of the
breaker:
Recloser (79)
PL-300 units include a three-phase recloser and by
actuation of the underfrequency unit (for models with 81U
unit) which gives a reclosure possibility for each step of the
81U unit.
The recloser also includes the option to enable the
sequence coordination function. Such sequence
coordination is applied when a number of units is installed
downstream and have a slow trip programmed with the last
reclosure. This function avoids the fast trip of the units that
are in a higher level, during the fast trip of the units that are
in the lower side.
High Current Lockout (HCL)
Provides a second instantaneous overcurrent unit at a
higher setting, so that its actuation does not produce
automatic reclosing.
AUTOMATISMS
5
Programmable logic
The user can configure up to 15 logic signals, that can be
assigned to output relays, LEDs, or inputs for protection
functions blocking features.
Logic selectivity functions
Logic selectivity functions that lockout the trip, but not the
pick-up of the instantaneous overcurrent and isolated neu-
tral directional units, can be done.
Special automatisms
The unit is provided by the following special automatisms:
Slack springs automatism: the unit watches the status of
an input assigned as "slack springs". If this input is
active during a time longer than the one programmed in
setting "spring slack time" the output "open spring
motor" is generated, this input is used to trip the switch
of the spring tightening motor's power supply
Voltage presence: The automatism watches if the
average compound voltage is within particular values
and gives a control signal. When the average compound
voltage exceeds the presence threshold, the bit for the
control word is set to 1, and if it falls below the absence
threshold, that bit is set to 0
Close locking: If the circuit breaker is seen as closed, no
closing order is allowed from digital input, command,
pushbutton or recloser
Open locking: If the circuit breaker is seen as open, no
opening order is allowed from digital input, command or
pushbutton
6
