Description The interrupting chamber has been designed in such a way as to increase the
mechanical resistance of the working part and take advantage of the low wear
rate of the contacts subjected to the arc in SF6. The working part is enclosed
in a leak tight ceramic envelope, providing insulation between the circuit--
breaker input and output.

Opening
Opening When an electrical or manual opening order is given, the energy accumulated
in the opening spring (7) is released.
The insulating tie--rod (8), directly activated by the opening spring (7), trans-
mits the movement to the transfer mechanism (9) inside the housing which
causes the contacts to separate simultaneously in both chambers.

Stage Description
Start of opening When the moving contact (4) separates from the main
contacts (3), the current is switched onto the arc con-
tacts (10). The compression of the (Vp) volume cau-
ses the first rise of pressure.
3 10 4 Vp
Thermal effect When the contacts (10) separate, the arc appears and
its energy causes the pressure to rise in the thermal
expansion volume (Vt), closed by the fixed contact rod
(11) and the insulating nozzle (12).
11 12 10 Vt
Interrupting and When the rod (11) comes out of the nozzle (12), the
assistance thermal overpressure in the volume (Vt) is released
at opening causing an energy blast to occur, just before the cur-
rent zero passage, ensuring final quenching of the arc.
The (Vp) volume pressure decreases to the ambient
pressure by means of the valve (13) to allow the end
of the opening.

Special case For small currents (example : operating no--load lines, transformers or ca-
of small currents pacitor banks), the thermal energy of the arc is too low to provide enough ex-
cess pressure.
Consequently, the conventional autopneumatic effect developing in the vol-
ume (Vp) is used mainly, to blast the arc.

Closing
Description When an electrical or manual closing order is given, the energy accumulated
in the closing spring (15) -- situated inside the operating device -- is released.
This energy is transmitted directly to the pole operating shaft (16), to ensure
closing.
The release of the energy stored up in the closing spring (15) causes displace-
ment of the moving parts -- and so the closing of the interrupting chambers
-- and also reloads the opening spring (7).

SF6 gas monitoring
Introduction The electrical characteristics of switchgear depend on the density of SF6 gas
i.e. the mass of gas pumped into a compartment of a given volume.
Constant density At constant density, with an fixed compartment volume, the pressure
changes in the same way as the temperature. Since the gas density re-
mains invariable owing to the fact that no modification occurs in the quanti-
ty of gas or the volume of the relevant compartment, the electrical charac-
teristics of the switchgear will remain unchanged.

Measuring density
Measuring density When it is not possible to directly measure density, this may be checked
using an industrial pressure gauge capable of measuring the effective
pressure.
An effective pressure value corresponds to the rated density, determined
for normal atmospheric pressure (101.3 kPa) and an ambient temperature
of 20°C (68°F).
For each pressure reading (filling, inspection of densimeter thresholds...), the
rated effective pressure should be corrected according to the ambient tem-
perature and atmospheric pressure of the site at the time the reading is taken.
See the module “Calculation of the SF6 gas filling pressure to using the
pressure gauge (tool)”.

Localization The densimeter is situated onto the bottom of the pole of the circuit--breaker,
and joined to the gas volume of the circuit--breaker.
Working The densimeter is fitted with internal contacts. These contacts close succes-
sively if the gas’s density diminishes and determine 2 distinct thresholds.
These contacts are wired to the terminal block inside the cubicle and are usu-
ally left at the user’s disposal for the following use :
D Alarm pressure ”pae” acts as a warning (topping up necessary).
D Minimum functional pressure for insulation ”pme” must be used either to
lock the circuit--breaker in position or to cause automatic opening. The option
is chosen by the client in keeping with operating requirements.

room
D between the High Voltage Transformer (and Current Transformer if appli-
cable) and the RPH2 device.
Installing the ambient In some application, a temperature sensor to measure the ambient tempera-
temperature sensor ture is needed to be connected to the RPH2 device, and to correct the varia-
(option) tion of the C.B. operating times.
When this temperature sensor is needed, it is delivered with the RPH2 device.
This temperature sensor must be fitted at site, near the relay room, to mea-
sure the site ambient temperature.
The temperature sensor must be connected to the RPH2 device using a cable
(twisted pair).
In addition the correct operation of the synchronous device RPH2 needs that
the reference voltage is measured respecting the previous phase in the C.B.
low voltage diagram.

tions between the RPH2 and the circuit breaker poles, making the assumption
that :
-- The reference voltage is measured on phase 1.
-- Circuit breaker pole 1 is installed on phase 1 of the network.
-- Circuit breaker pole 2 is installed on phase 2 of the network (phase lag of
120° relative to phase 1 of the network).
-- Circuit breaker pole 3 is installed on phase 3 of the network (phase lag of
240° relative to phase 1 of the network).

Reminder SF6 or SF6+CF4 envelopes are at rated pressure following the SF6 or
SF6+CF4 gas filling operation.
Checking SF6 or SF6 or SF6+CF4 pressure values must obligatorily be read on the pressure
SF6+CF4 gas inspection gauge (tooling). Pay no attention to indications given by the dial
densimeter on the filling control block (where applicable) ; it is not accurate
enough for this inspection.
See the module “Calculation of the SF6 or SF6+CF4 gas filling pressure
to using the pressure gauge (tool)”.
SF6 or SF6+CF4 gas The SF6 or SF6+CF4 humidity level need not be known as the equipment is
humidity level fitted with molecular sieves in sufficient numbers to give a dew point lower
than, or equal to, 0°C at an ambient temperature of 20°C, for an apparatus
filled to its rated pressure for 2 or 3 months.
Checking tightness Each on site assemblage of parts subjected to SF6 or SF6+CF4 gas requires
of assemblages seals. The quality of these assemblages must be checked.

Lubrication
Principle No future lubrication will be necessary. The bearings and rollers have been
lubricated in our workshops with special grease :
ASEOL SYLITEA 4--018
This grease can easily endure very low temperatures and has an excellent
resistance to ageing. So that its qualities are not modified during use, it is pro-
hibited to :
Mixture with other lubricants can cause the layer of grease to become too
hard.

SAFETY SHEET
SF6
Use and Handling
Sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) is a gas which in its basic state is colourless, odourless and tasteless. It is not toxic,
but it cannot sustain life. It is a heavy gas that is dispersed slowly into the atmosphere.
In its natural state, SF6 is delivered and stored in pressurized tanks (bottles or spheres) at a pressure of
approximately 20 bar at 20°C (in its liquid form) and complies with IEC standard 376.
However, under the effect of the electric arc, the SF6 molecules break up and the elements mostly recombine
during cooling either due to extinction of the arc or by regeneration caused by the presence of active
absorbent charges within the circuit breaker.
Various chemical reactions, associated with the volatilization of the materials in contact with the electric arc,
create either fluoridized or sulphurous secondary gas products or solid products in the form of metallic fluoride
powder ; or again, in the presence of traces of water or moisture, hydrofluoric acid or sulphur dioxide.
In the life-cycle of the equipment, SF6 can be observed not only in its pure state, but also in its contaminated
state :
WORK REQUIREMENTS.
The storage of these containers is governed by the same storage regulations as compressed gas bottles :
- keep away from any source of heat and in a cool, dry and well-ventilated area,
- always fit a pressure reducing valve.
Whilst SF6 in its pure state is not toxic, the decomposition products have varying degrees of toxicity. They may
irritate the skin, the eyes and the mucous membranes; and in massive amounts may cause serious lesions
(oedema, heart failure, circulatory disorders and unconsciousness).
However, very rapidly and before there is any real danger, signs such as a pungent smell, irritation of the
mucous of the nose, the eyes and the mouth will give a warning and the personnel concerned will have
sufficient time to take the necessary safety actions.
Where the gas is used or handled within enclosed premises, ensure adequate ventilation, especially low down.
If the gas is inhaled, the area concerned must be evacuated immediately.
Under normal operating conditions, leaks are exceptionally minor and not critical, even when the gas contains
impurities (due to the regenerating filters in the circuit breaker).
Filling and where necessary topping up operations must be carried out using the appropriate tools.
During maintenance operations, or at the end of the life-cycle, dust inside the equipment must be removed by
a vacuum extractor and the operator should wear a mask. Gas recovery must be carried out using the
appropriate gas recovery equipment.
Gases and decomposition products must be treated and/or disposed of by specialist organizations.
Under extremely abnormal conditions (e.g. break in the shielding) in an enclosed space, individual protective
equipment is recommended.
Lastly, it is forbidden to smoke, drink, eat or keep food in the vicinity of open SF6 equipment, whether indoors
or outside (harmful dust).
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
It is essential that both the fitter and the user read IEC Technical Report 1634 regarding the use and
handling of sulphur hexafluoride gas.

1. IN GENERAL
The electronic switching circuit of the RPH2 Point-on-Wave Controller from AREVA
T&D Austria AG, Leonding meets all the requirements concerning electromagnetic
compatibility in accordance with the EN 50 081-1/1992 and EN 50 082-2/1995.
Care is necessary only if the plug-in unit is pulled out of the casing. Take care not to
touch the plug contact on the back! For storing and transporting loose plug-in units, we
recommend a conductive fail packaging.
As soon as the plug-in unit is properly installed in the casing, no safety measures are
necessary at all.
1.2. Unpacking
Despite the general robust construction of the Point-on-Wave Controller, it must be
handled with care before installation. Before accepting the Point-on-Wave Controller it
should be checked for damage which could have originated during transportation. If
you have cause for complaint, please refer to the transport company and notify a
person responsible at AREVA.
1.3. Storage
If the Point-on-Wave Controller is not to be installed immediately upon receipt, it
should be stored in a place which is free of dust and moisture, in its original packaging.
If a moisture-absorption bag is in the packaging, leave it as it is. The effectiveness of
the drying agent is impaired if the non-protected bag is subjected to the surrounding
conditions.
Before the Point-on-Wave Controller is placed in the box again, warm the drying bag
slightly in order to regenerate the drying agent.
1.4. Installation
The RPH2 Point-on-Wave Controller can either be installed in a switchboard or a
suitable frame with the provided material (panel cut-out see diagram 58.001.115), or a
special fitting is available for wall mounting (see diagram 58.001.116).

We suggest the control room or the relays room as the most favourable installation
site. Installation in a heated outdoor control cubicle is also possible. Installation directly
in the operating mechanism of a circuit breaker is not provided for (please contact
AREVA regarding this).
The position should be well lit in order to make inspections easier.
Wiring is carried out according to the wiring diagram which is enclosed with every
Point-on-Wave Controller. Take care to earth the housing appropriately.

2. INTRODUCTION
The 7 alarm LED's are active, however there is only one alarm contact (Alarm 1)
available. In addition, there is an alarm contact "Device not ready".
The casing is a standard 19 inch sub-rack, with half width for one device or
alternatively with full width for 2 devices. After removing the 4 external screws of the
front panel, the plug-in unit on the grip rail can be removed from the housing. Safety
notes see 1.1.

2.3.2. Current measurement module: Option I
With this the phase currents during the switching process can be recorded and
graphically displayed. Data from the last 4 switching operations (curves, amplitudes) are
stored in a non volatile memory and can be analysed on the display. Primary values are
shown after feeding in the current transformer ratios.
With reduced control voltage at the circuit breaker coil there is less energy available to
change the electrical control commands into a mechanical action. The operating time
extends itself. (Valid for all types of operations.)
By altering the hydraulic pressure on hydraulic drives, the energy available to carry out
the switching movement changes.
The ambient temperature is the most complex parameter of influence. The electrical
resistance of the trip coils, the oil viscosity and the pressure of the SF6 gas are
dependent on the temperature. In addition, changes of length in the driving linkage and
the porcelains occur. All these parameters influence the operating time in different ways.
In the extreme, each of these 3 parameters can alter the operating time by some
milliseconds. The RPH2 with option A is in the position to compensate these operating
time alterations.
There are inputs available for the measurements acquired when measuring the control
voltage, pressure and temperature for the compensation of pole operating times.
The control voltage is measured directly in the RPH2 at the input terminals for the
auxiliary voltage. There are no external measuring devices necessary.
For measuring pressure and temperature, external sensors with integrated transducer
banks (2 conductor constructions, auxiliary voltage 24 VDC) and standard output signal
(4...20 mA) are necessary. The supply for the transducer bank is effected by the RPH2.
Up to 8 RPH2's can be switched in parallel on one temperature sensor. When
measuring pressure, an individual transducer is necessary for each circuit breaker
(option A1) or each circuit breaker pole (option A3). The measuring range of the
measuring instruments depends on the requirements and can be simply parameterized
in the RPH2.
2.3.3.1. Option A0
Measuring and compensation of control voltage and temperature (for springloaded
drives)

2.3.3.2. Option A1
Same design as 2.3.3.1, however with additional measurement and compensation for
hydraulic pressure (for hydraulic drives which have a mutual pressure generation for all
three poles).
2.3.3.3. Option A3
Like 2.3.3.2, however for circuit breakers which have pressure generation per pole.

3. APPLICATION NOTES
3.1.1.1. Closing
Energizing of transformers, reactors and capacitors is normally effected three-pole - for
all 3 phases simultaneously. In doing this the point on wave is left up to chance. If
closing is carried out in this manner, high inrush currents with high DC components are
unavoidable. When energizing capacitors additional high switching surges can occur.
The results are unwanted operation of protection devices and repercussions on
machines and network.
The inrush currents and switching surges can be reduced to an acceptable rate by
installing closing resistors at the circuit breaker. The costs for such closing resistors are
very high, due to the mechanical expenditure. Besides, the necessarily high energetic
absorbtivity of the resistor material sets relatively restricted limits of practicability.
By selecting a suitable switching time the physical causes of these high inrush currents
can be counteracted. This possibility is effected through synchronized switching with the
RPH2. This enables the three poles of a circuit breaker to be controlled independently.
Page 16
Issue 3 58.020.034 E AREVA T&D Austria AG, Leonding
2004-02
3.1.1.2. Opening
The de-energizing of shunt reactors is a critical process liable to generate re-ignitions
between circuit breaker contacts. This means very high stress for the insulation of both
the shunt reactor and the circuit breaker.
If the contact separation takes place a sufficient amount of time before the current zero
crossing through suitable circuit breaker control, to ensure a gap capable of
withstanding the transient recovery voltage at interruption.
On the other hand, the opening time is the time between the electrical command and the
separation of the main contacts. The operating times of circuit breakers, independent of
the breaking system and the type of operating mechanism, changes in dependence on
certain service parameters:
· With reduced control voltage at the operating coil there is less energy available to
change the electrical control commands into a mechanical action. The operating
time extends itself. (Valid for all types of operating drives.)
· By altering the hydraulic pressure on hydraulic drives, the energy available to carry
out the switching movement changes.
· The ambient temperature is the most complex parameter of influence. The electrical
resistance of the operating coils, the oil viscosity and the pressure of the SF6 gas
are all dependent on the temperature. Moreover, there is expansion of operating
rods and porcelains. All these parameters influence the operating time in different
ways.
In the extreme, each of these 3 parameters can alter the operating time by some
milliseconds. The RPH2 is in the position to compensate these operating time variations.
· Large graphic display to show the adjusted and measured values ( in German,
English and French or user defined language)
· Analogue module for measuring control voltage, pressure and temperature, for the
compensation of changes in operating time.

Whether the system neutral is grounded or isolated, the RPH2 registers the signal
contacts of the neutral earthingswitch and automatically selects the correct switching
time.
For transformers with primary windings in delta connection the program for isolated
neutral must be used (short circuit the terminals -X6:8 with -X8:11 of the RPH2).

For switching off transformers and three leg reactors with the RPH2, please read point
3.3.2 "Switching off Reactor Groups".
The mechanical closing and/or opening operating time of the three circuit breaker poles
(see 3.1.2 for definition). Accuracy about ±0,1 ms.
3.2.3.1. Closing
For closing at the correct time, the pre-arcing time of the breaker at the closing voltage
(see table 2) according to the phases and the treatment of the system neutral.
If the exact value cannot be obtained from the breaker manufacturer, the optimum
closing time can be determined through switching tests with oscillographical
measurements of the inrush currents. For RPH2 with option I, the inrush currents are
directly shown by the device (curve course and peak value). For the tests it is advisable
Page 21
AREVA T&D Austria AG, Leonding Issue 3 58.020.034 E
2004-02
to begin with an assumed pre-arcing time of 3 ms at Ö(2/3)*Un, 2.5 ms at ½*Ö2*Un and
4.5 ms at 1.5*Ö(2/3)*Un.
3.2.3.2. Opening
Data of the optimum arcing time in order to guarantee a sure current breaking in the
next zero crossing.
See 3.3.3 for further information
3.3.1. Closing
3.3.2. Opening
Breaking of small inductive currents, as is with reactors, can lead to high switching
surges if current chopping or restriking in the circuit breaker occurs.
Contact separation should take place a sufficient time before current zero crossing so
that after current breaking the contact gap is great enough to withstand the recovery
voltage. The switching times given in table 1, indicate the moment of current breaking.
The necessary arcing window is taken into account by the RPH2 through the arcing
time.

The mechanical closing and/or opening operating time of the three circuit breaker poles
(see 3.1.2 for definition). Accuracy about ±0,1 ms.
3.3.3.1. Closing
The pre-arcing times of the circuit breaker must be known.
· Pre-arcing time of the breaker in the voltage peak: equal value for all three phases
with grounded neutral or for phase L1 with isolated neutral.
· Pre-arcing time with partial voltage: for phases L2 and L3 with isolated neutral (see
table 2)
3.3.3.2. Opening
The optimum arcing time input determines the arcing window for a secure current
breaking, free from restrikes, in the next zero crossing. The value is given by the
breaker manufacturer.
In order not to come into conflict with unavoidable operating time tolerances, contact
separation should begin 1,5 ms after zero crossing at the earliest, i.e. do not select an
arcing time of longer than 8,5 ms (6,8 ms at 60 Hz). About a quarter period as arcing
time is regarded as standard time.
For circuit breaker opening, the breaker should achieve an operating time accuracy
of ±1,5 ms.
3.4.1. Closing
High inrush currents and high voltage surges can occur with the random switching of
capacitors, especially if switching takes place in the voltage peak. The effects of parallel
switching of capacitors is particularly serious. Particularly high voltage surges can occur,
due to reflections at the end of radial networks.
Page 23
AREVA T&D Austria AG, Leonding Issue 3 58.020.034 E
2004-02
3.4.2. Opening
In general, breaking of capacitive currents represents no problem for modern circuit
breakers. If the RPH2 is used for the synchronized switching of capacitor banks, then
the same applies as in 3.3.2, i.e. contact separation in sufficient time before voltage zero
crossing.
The mechanical closing and/or opening operating time of the three poles (see 3.1.2 for
definition). Accuracy about ±0,1 ms.
In order to achieve the necessary accuracy when closing in the voltage zero crossing,
the rate of fall of the withstand voltage (dUd/dt) of the breaker should be greater than
the rate of change of the gap voltage at voltage zero (dU/dt). Figure 3 shows three
possible cases.
1 The rate of fall of the breakers withstand voltage (dUd/dt) is less than the rate of
fall of the system voltage (dU/dt). dUd/dt < dU/dt, k<1.
The breaker can be used for this application if dUd/dt > 0.8*dU/dt. In this case
please contact the manufacturer of the breaker for calculation of the pre-arcing
times.
2 The rate of fall of the breakers withstand voltage (dUd/dt) is equal to the rate of
fall of the system voltage (dU/dt). dUd/dt = dU/dt, k=1.
3 The rate of fall of the breakers withstand voltage (dUd/dt) is greater than the rate
of fall of the system voltage (dU/dt). dUd/dt > dU/dt, k>1.

However, some pre-arcing may be inevitable due to variations in the closing time and
the spread in dielectric withstand. To minimise energizing transients, the closing should
aim at an instant, td, after the voltage zero (the RPH2 takes this into account through a
given arcing time). If data is not available from the breaker manufacturer, the pre-
arcing time can be approximated. Modern breakers have closing contact speeds of
typical 5 m/s and a dielectric strength of more than 20 kV/mm. That results in a fall rate
(dUd/dt) of more than 100 kV/ms.
Figure 4 shows the voltage across the open contact gap and the withstand voltage fall
with varying closing times. The arcing time ta is calculated so that the withstand
voltage is approx. the same value as the upper and lower operating time tolerance.

The RPH2 arcing time setting can be calculated according to the following formulas.
Take note of the differing arcing times with isolated neutrals. The calculations must be
verified by switching tests.

Note: The system voltage in the following formulas is related to one interrupting
chamber of the circuit breaker, take care in case of breakers with multiple interrupting
chambers!
The voltage across one interrupting chamber is calculated as follows where "m" is the
number of interrupting chambers of one pole:
1.05 m-1
Un = U system × Un... Voltage for one interrupting chamber
m
The following example demonstrates the calculation for the pre-arcing time for each
pole with various system neutral treatments.

Example:
For closing, the switch should reach a operating time accuracy of ± 1,5 ms.

3.5 Switching (closing) of uncharged Lines
Uncharged high voltage lines are to be fundamentally treated like capacitors. Due to
the inter-phase coupling the switching moments are not the same as for capacitor
banks. The RPH2 can also be used for auto-reclosing of uncompensated lines
equipped with inductive potential transformers. During the auto-reclose dead-time the
trapped charges on the line must be fully discharged by the inductive potential
transformers!
Whether the system neutral is earthed or isolated does not effect the switching
moments.
The RPH2 must be set to the [User Program] with the following settings (see also
5.1.5.1).
For [T_C1 Neutral isolated] and for [T_C1 Neutral grounded] the same values must be
set:
50 Hz:
L1 = 0 ms
L2 = 7.3 ms
L3 = 13.3 ms
60 Hz:
L1 = 0 ms
L2 = 6.1 ms
L3 = 11.1 ms

To compensate the time shift between the main contacts and the auxiliary contacts of
the breaker poles, the possibility exists to feed in a compensation time in order to
maintain the operating time as real value on the display and in the archives. Figure 5
shows the correlation as an example. If the auxiliary contact closes after the main
contact then the compensation time value. Dt is negative, if the auxiliary contact opens
before the main contact then a positive value results. If no possibility exists to measure
the time shift of the auxiliary contacts, this value can also be determined via the RPH2
within the time release limits.
Conditions:
· The pole operating times given by the manufacturer are correctly fed in (see 5.1
and 5.2)

· The environmental conditions correspond approx. to the conditions when measuring
the pole operating times in the factory. With strong deviations in the environmental
conditions, the pole operating times must be measured again on site.
· The RPH2 compensating function is deactivated (see 5.6).
· The circuit breaker can be operated repeatedly without load (with opened busbar

Because the operating times are measured with a resolution of 0,5 ms, it is possibly
necessary to constitute the average value from several switching operations. Feed in
the determined values under [CB Data] / [Aux. Timeshift CH1] (figure 7) and check the
measured operating times as described above. A further compensation is possibly
necessary.

Check in all cases that the measured operating time corresponds with actual operating
times of the circuit breaker. This is essential for using the function of the adaptive
control !
For devices with two switching functions (RPH2-2), repeat the procedure for the
second switching channel too.

In the menu [Measured value/Compensation] each of the actual additional times are
shown. After the key-operated switch is turned form "OFF" to "OPERATION", the
RPH2 carries out an automatic check and all analogue measured values for
compensation are set at the actual measured value.

The compensation parameter kU can be calculated using the following formula:
Value 1:
U1 [V] rated control voltage
t1 [ms] CB operating time at nominal conditions
Value 2:
U2 [V] reduced control voltage
t2 [ms] CB operating time with U2
With RPH2's with two switching functions, the calculation for kU1 and kU2 is to be
carried out separately for both switching channels and the values stored in the RPH2.
The RPH2 calculates the additional times for operating time compensation according
to a piecewise linear function with one control point every 10 °C in the range of -50 °C
and +50 °C. So all kinds of temperature functions of the circuit breaker (from linear to
exponential) can be set to the RPH2. The measured values can be entered in the table
in figure 10. The line Delta_t = 0 ms defines the nominal operating time of the circuit
breaker under normal conditions. The values of Delta_t at different ambient
temperatures are the differences of the measured operating times to the nominal
operating time. The 11 values of Delta_t(T) (T = -50 °C to +50 °C) must be set to the
RPH2.
In the example in figure 11 the procedure is shown. The measured values are marked
by squares. Connect the points by lines end eventually extend the lines to the
extremes (dotted line in the example). Evaluate the values of Delta_t(T) at the control
points (-50 °C to +50 °C) so to get the 11 values for Delta_t(T) shown in the table in
figure 11.
By using the PC software "RPH2- Tool" also an exponential function with one open
parameter can be calculated. Especially for circuit breakers with spring drive
mechanism this option will be useful.

With RPH2's with two switching functions, the evaluation of Delta_t(T) has to be
carried out separately for both switching channels and the values stored in the RPH2.
One (Option A1) or three (Option A3) external sensors with integrated transducer (2
conductors, auxiliary voltage 24 VDC) and standard output signal (4 ... 20 mA) are
necessary for measuring hydraulic pressure. The transducer supply is effected through
the RPH2.
Page 35
AREVA T&D Austria AG, Leonding Issue 3 58.020.034 E

The RPH2 calculates the additional times for operating time compensation according
to a function with one open parameter. By fixing this parameter, the compensation
function can be suited to the character of the circuit breaker. Calculation for opening
and closing takes place separately. The parameter kP1 works for switching channel 1,
kP2 for switching channel 2 (only for devices with 2 switching functions). For the model
with option A3 with pressure measuring per pole only a compensation parameter for
each of the three poles is fed in. If a zero value is fed in for a parameter, then no
additional times are calculated and the compensation function concerned is blocked.
Fixing the compensation parameters takes place through calculation or with the
assistance of the accompanying PC Software.
Two measuring points of the switching characteristic analogue for 4.2.1 are required to
calculate the equalising curve:
· One point with rated conditions (value 1): measured pole operating time (of one
pole) with rated voltage, rated pressure and rated temperature. In general that is the
manufacturer value for pole operating time.
· A second point with deviation conditions (value 2): measured pole operating time of
the same pole with rated control voltage, rated temperature and reduced hydraulic
pressure.
Example:
Value 1 (with nominal conditions):
P1 = 265 bar Rated pressure
t1 = 110.5 ms Pole operating time with nominal conditions
Value 2:
P2 = 200 bar Reduced pressure
t2 = 127.7 ms Pole operating time with pressure P2
Value 1:
P1 [V] rated hydraulic pressure
t1 [ms] CB operating time at nominal conditions
Value 2:
P2 [V] reduced hydraulic pressure
t2 [ms] CB operating time with P2
With RPH2's with two switching functions, the calculation for kP1 and kP2 is to be
carried out separately for both switching channels and the values stored in the RPH2.

4.2.4 Specifications for the external sensors
For measuring pressure and temperature, external sensors with integrated transducer
are necessary which are not part of the delivery.
Such transducers can be obtained from many manufacturers. The measuring range of
the sensors adjust itself to the respective requirements.
However, unnecessarily large measuring ranges reduce the measuring accuracy of the
RPH2. The RPH2 measuring input is adapted to the measuring range of the sensor
through parameterisation.
The compensation of the time shift between the main contacts and the auxiliary contacts
of the breaker poles must be done very exactly to avoid errors in measuring of the
actual operating times.
· Time deviations of the measured values greater than 10 ms are not considered. (no
operation of the CB or incorrect measurement of operating times).
· Additional adaptive time is limited to 1 ms from one operation to the next.
· If the operating time corrected by adaptive control has drifted away from the pre-set
operating times for more than
±5 ms for opening
±10 ms for closing
the alarm "Drive mech. Failure" is generated.
The value of the weighting factor depends on the type of drive mechanism. We propose
a value of 0.25 to 0.30 for all types of mechanism.

4.3 Current Module Option I
A current measuring module is available to make the switching of large transformers
and reactors easy when putting the RPH2 Point-on-Wave Controller into operation.
With this the inrush current can be recorded and graphically displayed during the
switching process. Data for the last 4 switching operations are stored in a non-volatile
memory and can be analysed on the display. Primary values are shown after feeding in
the current transformer current ratio.
For every phase there is an input for each 1 A and 5 A available. Because the current
inputs have a short time withstand of 100 xln, current measurement can be carried out
over a measuring core as well as a protection core of the current transformer.

Note: With the function "reset obligatory" you can change an alarm-message from the
type pulse type to a steady alarm type (see 5.4.3).
5.4.2 Lock-Out
Here you can mark each of the 7 alarm outputs to produce a blocking of the device in case
of the corresponding alarm occurs.
That means:
No switching operation is possible, the green LED is dark and the contact "Device not ready"
(-X6:12/13) is closed.
Some actions or alarms cause a lock out in any case ,also without activating the responding
alarm (LED dark, contact -X6:12-13 is closed):
· Keyswitch is "OFF"
· Relay starting up
· Reference voltage is missing
· Frequency not in permitted range
· Neutral earthing switch in intermediate position

In the example mentioned above the activating of alarm 3 blocks the RPH2. No
operation is possible, until the "Quit" button is pressed. The output contact "Device not
ready" (-X6:12/13) is closed.

In the example mentioned above the alarm-message ‘Current max. (peak)’ is assigned
to alarm-output 3 and alarm-output 6.
The asterisk (‘*’) at the position ‘Ref. Voltage Failure’ in the picture above indicates that
the fault ‘Ref. Voltage Failure’ is pending, that means the reference voltage is missing.
Pulse-alarm:
If an alarm-message is a pulse, this alarm-message is active only for a period of 0,5
seconds. If this alarm-message is assigned to an alarm-output which is marked as ‘reset
obligatory’, the alarm-output remains active until this alarm is acknowledged.
5.4.3.1 Lock-out
This is only a summary alarm. It is generated by other alarms which cause a blocking of the
relay. It is active when the device is blocked (see 5.4.2). The alarm itself causes no blocking
of the device!

6 COMMISSIONING
NOTE: After the RPH2 is connected to the supply voltage the first time, or after a self
test, it will last about 20 seconds until the green LED is illuminated and the relay is
ready for operation (see also 2.4.2.2). If the green LED stays dark, please check at
first the proper connection of the reference voltage and the neutral earthing switch

All other parameters are not essential for operation.
To evaluate the necessary data, use the configuration checklist shown on the last
pages of this service manual.
6.1.2 Inspection
Check whether the external wiring corresponds to the relevant RPH2 wiring diagram.
Particularly whether the reference voltage and the neutral earthing switch position
signals are wired. If a switching of the neutral is not intended, then it is necessary to
short circuit the relevant input terminals of the RPH2 (-X6:8 with -X8:11 for neutral
isolated or -X6:8 with -X8:12 for neutral grounded).
Make sure that the case is properly earthed. If external sensors are necessary, they
are to be installed according to the manufacturer's information. Check whether the
plug-in unit is sitting firmly and the fixing screws are tightened.
Measure the actual RPH2 control voltage with a multimeter. This value (depending on
the model) is required for parameterization (5.3.4).
Check the 48 V field voltage between the terminals -X6:8 and-X6:11 (ground).
Measure the voltage at the inputs of the external transducers (approx. 24 VDC).
Compare the displayed values on the RPH2 for control voltage, hydraulic pressure and
ambient temperature (only models RPH2-xxA) with the externally measured ones.
Verify the connections of the voltage and current transformer circuits (current only for
model RPH2-xI) to the correct terminals (100/Ö3V or 220/Ö3V, 1A or 5A) of the RPH2.
The two functions of the menu [Aux. Functions] maybe helpful by testing the external
connections:
The proper connection of the CB’s auxiliary contacts to the RPH2 (only model
RPH2-Sxx) can easily be checked by the function [Aux. Functions][Alarm Input]. When
the circuit breaker is in the closed position you must see three ‘1’ at the first positions
in the status line.

When the breaker is in the open position, three ‘0’ will be displayed.
If the remote reset input is activated, at the fourth position a ‘1’ must be displayed.

AREVA T&D Austria AG, Leonding Issue 3 58.020.034 E
2004-02
By using the function [Aux. Functions][Alarm Output] you can activate individually each
alarm relay by typing a ‘1’ at the according position of the pattern. So the external
wiring of the alarm circuits can be checked on correct function.
For the first load switchings, we recommend using an oscillograph to measure the
currents of the three phases together with the reference voltage, in order to verify that
the unit is working correctly. It is helpful if the three relayed drive commands can also
be recorded on additional oscillograph traces.
By using a RPH2 with the option I the currents during switching can be displayed and
analysed (see 5.5.1).
If the results are not satisfactory you must adapt the pole operating times and/ or the
arcing times to achieve the optimal function.
