Testing protective relays


As power grids get bigger and carry more power, the need for quick, reliable disconnection when faults occur becomes more and more urgent. The purpose of protective relay equipment is to sense fault states and trip circuit breakers. If a fault is not corrected early, personal injuries and serious damage can occur. Disconnection must take place selectively, i.e. it must be limited to the faulty part of the power grid. This is why the protective relay equipment must be able to distinguish between permissible heavy load conditions and hazardous operational disturbances. To avoid unjustiable interruptions, the protective relay equipment must not react to disturbances beneath a specied level called the pick-up value. If a relays curves/characteristics are to be tested at many points or angles, repeated manual adjustment of the test equipment is time consuming. Test equipment that can conduct a test automatically in accordance with a plan drawn up in advance is much faster and far more convenient. Moreover, the time during which the protective relay equipment is out of operation is minimized and the test can be conducted in exactly the same way every time it is run.

Simulating disturbances
Protective relay equipment must sometimes handle unusual faults that involve distortion, transients and harmonics. These unusual disturbances can be handled by test equipment having a DC-coupled amplier and a program that generates suitable disturbances or plays back information previously stored on a disturbance recorder. This permits nearly all forms of waveforms and transients to be generated.

Testing principles
Electric power grid protection systems guard extremely valuable equipment, and protective relay equipment plays a vital role in this protection chain. To ensure consistent reliability, protective relay equipment must be checked by testing at regular intervals. These tests must make certain that the protective relay equipment is operating according to its preset settings. The test equipment supplies the relay protection equipment with inputs that correspond to different faults and different operating situations. Pick-up values are approached by gradually changing the magnitudes of these inputs. Quick, selective disconnection in the event of a fault also requires correct operating times. These can be measured by supplying the protective relay equipment with inputs that exceed by a wide margin the pick-up value while simultaneously measuring the time that elapses prior to tripping. There are two main principles for testing protective relay equipment. For primary injection testing, high current is injected on the primary side of the current transformer. The entire chain current transformer, conductors, connection points, relay protection and sometimes circuit breakers as well is covered by the test. The system being tested must be taken out of operation during primary injection testing (usually conducted in connection with commissioning and also when secondary circuits are not accessible). For secondary injection testing, the protective relay equipment is disconnected from the measuring transformers and the circuit breaker. Current and voltage is fed directly to the protective relay equipment, and the system being tested does not have to be taken out of operation.

Testing current transformers


Current transformers have different cores for protection devices and energy measurement equipment. Measurement cores are highly accurate, but will go into saturation at high fault currents. The protective relay equipment must be connected to the correct core in order to be able to operate properly when a fault is present. This can be checked by plotting an excitation curve. The relays connection to the current transformer is measured using an AC voltage that is increased until the current transformer becomes saturated. Voltage is then plotted as a function of current, and the knee of the curve indicates saturation. Since the knee is much higher for the relay core than the core used for measuring purposes you can easily see whether or not the relay is connected to the correct core. Current transformers must also have the correct transformation ratio. This can be tested by injecting high current on the primary side, while simultaneously measuring the current in the secondary winding. Current transformers are tested, for the most part, in connection with commissioning. Since automatic testing proceeds at high speed and can be conducted repeatedly in exactly the same way, the time and effort devoted to preparations made before the rst test are well worthwhile.

SVERKER 750/760

Relay Test Unit


The Sverker 750/760 Relay Test Unit is the engineer's toolbox. The control panel features a logical layout, still SVERKER 650 users will nd it comfortably familiar and will be able to start work right away. The SVERKER 750/760 features many functions that make relay testing more efcient. For example, its powerful measurement section can display (in addition to time, voltage and current) Z, R, X, S, P, Q, phase angle and cos . The voltmeter can also be used as a 2nd ammeter (when testing differential relays for example). All values are presented on a single easy-to-read display. You can also test directional protective equipment efciantly by means of the built-in variable voltage source. In SVERKER 760 this has a continuous phase shift function as well. Automatic reclosing devices can also be tested just as easily. Designed to comply with EU standards and other personal and operational safety standards, SVERKER 750/760 is also equipped with a serial port for communication with personal computers and the PC software SVERKER Win. Since the compact SVERKER weighs only 18 kg (39 lbs), it's easy to move from site to site. Two or more SVERKER units can also be synchronized, which for example allows the user to connect three SVERKER into a basic 3-phase test set.

Application
Relay Testing
SVERKER 750/760 is intended primarily for secondary testing of protective relay equipment. Virtually all types of single-phase protection can be tested. SVERKER 750/760 is able to test three-phase protection that can be tested one phase at a time, and also a number of protective relay systems that require phase shifting. Moreover, automatic reclosing devices can be tested.

Set of resistors Fine regulation of current and voltage are easy thanks to the built-in set of resistors. Display Presents time, current, voltage and other entities. Also used to make many setting, after you enter the setting mode by pressing button marked MODE. Freeze function (HOLD) This makes it possible to measure voltages and current as short as a quarter of a mains-voltage period by immobilizing the reading on the display. Voltage and current readings are frozen when the timer stops. If the timer does not stop, the reading present when the current was interrupted is frozen on the display. Start and stop conditions The timers start and stop inputs respond to changes, voltage or contact closing/ openings. The timers start input is also used when testing auto-reclosing relays, to synchronize two or more SVERKER units and to start generation with an external signal. Status indicator The timers start and stop inputs are each equipped with indicator lamps which, when lighted, indicate a closed circuit (useful for detecting contact closings/ openings) or the presence of voltage. These indicator lamps make it possible (for example) to check circuits before starting a measurement cycle. Timer inputs The timer has separate start and stop inputs, and it can be used to measure both external cycles and sequences initiated by SVERKER. The measured time appears on the display. Each input can be set to respond to the presence or absence of voltage (AC or DC) at a contact. Start switch Controls the turning on and off of the current source and timer. Can be set to one of four states. ON+TIME. Starts generation and timing simultaneously. Used to test over... relays (...means current, voltage or some other entity). Generation continues a) until the protective relay equipment operates and stops the timer or b) until the maximum time expires or the start switch is released if time-limited generation has been selected. OFF. Turns off the current source, whereupon generation is interrupted. ON. Turns on the current source in the generating state. OFF+TIME. Interrupts generation and starts the timer simultaneously. Used when testing under ...relays (...means current, voltage or some other entity). The timer is stopped

when the protective relay equipment operates. When automatic reclosing is to be tested, SVERKER an be set so that new generation will start when the timers start input is activated by the closing command. Computer communication interface SVERKER is equipped with a serial port for communication with personal computers and the PC software Sverker Win. Make/break contact Changes state automatically when a test is started. Can be used (for example) to synchronize two or more SVERKER units, other eternal equipment or to switch the voltage applied to the protective relay equipment back and forth between nonfaulty and faulty. Current source Provides 0-250 A AC, 0-250 V AC or 0-300 V DC, depending on the output that is being used. Settings are made using the main knob. The readings of current, voltage and other entities appear on the display. The start switch is used to turn the current source on and off. When time is being measured, this is done in synchronization with the timer. Ammeter and voltmeter Current and voltage are measured by the built-in ammeter and voltmeter. Resistance, impedance, phase angle, power and power factor can also be measured. Readings appear on the display. These instruments can also be used to take measurements in external

circuits. The voltmeter can also be used as a 2nd ammeter (when testing differential relays for example). Current and voltage can be displayed either as amperes and volts or as percentages of a given current or voltage (the present settings of the protective relay equipment for example). Auxiliary voltage source Provides 20-220 V DC in two ranges. Equipped with overload protection and separated from the other outputs. Used frequently to supply the object being tested. AC voltage source Intended primarily for use with voltage inputs to the protective relay equipment. Can provide 0-140 V AC and 0-359 phase shift (SVERKER 760). Since the AC voltage source is separated from the other outputs, it can be set independently of the current source. Tripping indicator Lights when a stop condition is fullled to indicate operation of the protective relay equipment. If the test being conducted incorporates timing, this indicator starts to blink when relay operation occurs. Main knob Used to set current output from the current source.

Optional accessories
CSU20A
Current and Voltage Source
CSU20A is a small light-weight current and voltage source primarily intended to work together with the SVERKER 750/760 Relay Testing Unit when testing differential relays. Using the CSU20A together with SVERKER 750/760 gives the user two independent current sources, and the timer/measurement section in SVERKER 750/760 is used both for measuring the two outputs as well as measuring the trip time of the relay. Besides testing differential relays the unit can be used as a multipurpose AC/DC source. The CSU20A features one AC current/voltage output, one fully rectied DC output and one half-wave rectied DC output for harmonic restraint testing. Other features are a current measurement shunt, selectable current/voltage ranges and an AC mains input/output. Connecting the SVERKER 750/760 mains to the mains output of the CSU20A gives an in-phase synchronization of the two units.

PSS750
Phase Selector Switch
The PSS750 is specically designed to work with SVERKER 750/760 when testing three-phase relays. It is connected between SVERKER 750/760 and the relay inputs and allows the user to easily select which phase to test. The PSS750 handles both the current and voltage sources and single-phase or phase-phase testing can be selected. Together with the output-input switching the unit also contains a variable resistor that can be used together with the built-in capacitor in SVERKER 750/760. This feature gives the user the possibility to create a variable phase shift at a decreased amplitude of the test voltage. The design is passive which makes it very general. You may for example use any of the inputs for current or voltage as long as you do not exceed the specication. It is also possible to connect the measuring inputs of the SVERKER 750/760 to the PSS750 and use the switch for selecting measurement signals. The PSS750 simplies phase switching, selecting type of fault, phase reversing and gives a possibility to create a variable phase shift.

Application example
IMPORTANT! Read the Users manual before using the instrument
1. Connect the current and voltage outputs of SVERKER 750/760 to the PSS750 inputs. 2. Connect the current and voltage inputs of the relay to the PSS750 outputs. 3. Select which phase to test and type of test (phase-to-ground or phase-phase) with the selector switch. 4. Proceed with the test for each phase and fault type. 5. To create a phase shift, connect the 10 F capacitor in SVERKER 750/760 in series between the voltage output and the PSS750 input, and connect the variable resistor in parallel with the PSS750 input. 6. Set the SVERKER 750/760 for phase (and impedance) measurement. Connect the voltage measurement input to the PSS750 input. 7. Start the test with the resistor in maximum position. Gradually decreasing the resistor gives increasing phase shift in the voltage signal. The test voltage/impedance will decrease at the same time so an adjustment of the test current might be necessary to get the correct impedance. Please observe that the phase shift depends on the input resistance and may vary between different relays. Some relays may also have a low voltage limit where the relay will not operate. For additional 180 degrees phase shift use the phase reversal switch.

SVERKER Win
PC software for SVERKER 750/760
The SVERKER Win software makes eldwork easier while providing neater reports. The SVERKER Win software enables you to control the SVERKER from a PC. The SVERKER is connected to the PCs serial port. Test results can be reported either directly with table and graph, or from an external program, e.g. Microsoft EXCEL. SVERKER Win enables customised reports in an easy way. Very useful are the reference graphs, together with the current/voltage graph presentation for each test point during the test. The graph can of course be printed out on the test report if you like. A new feature is the ready-made current curves available for many relay types. During relay testing, each measured value is stored in a log list. In this list you can add comments to each test point. When the entire test is nished, you can save everything as a data le. Later, you can print out the test results. You save time by not having to write your report in the eld. All report writing can be done conveniently back at the ofce. The SVERKER Win software provides easy access to connection instructions, test instructions and the like, which you prepare in advance. These instructions, which can contain both text and graphics, can be prepared using standard word processing packages. The settings you make on SVERKER are also saved in a le, so that the next time you want to test the same or similar protective relay equipment, all you have to do in order to set-up the SVERKER, is to open the le.

Specications SVERKER Win


The SVERKER Win software comprises a 32-bit program written to run under Windows 95/98/2000/NT/XP. We recommend a Pentium computer with at least 16 MB of RAM. The amount of space needed to save reports and settings will depend on how many protective systems that are to be tested. Roughly estimated, you will thus need a total of about 20-100 MB of free space on the hard disk. Languages in SVERKER Win are: Czech, English, French, German, Spanish and Swedish.

Relay Testing System


The Freja 300 relay testing system is a computer-aided relay testing and simulation system. The weight of FREJA 300 is only 15 kg. The rugged hardware design is built for eld use over a wide temperature range, with the possibilities of intelligent software to perform rapid testing. FREJA 300 can be operated with or without a PC. After being put into the Local mode, FREJA 300 can be used stand-alone without a PC. Using the Local mode is easy. The function of each key is described on the display, which also presents the settings and measured values. The very accurate (typically 0.01%) low level analogue inputs are designed for transducer measurements. The high level inputs can be used as a normal volt- and ammeter. FREJA 300 can generate 4x150 V (82 VA) and 3x15 A (87 VA) or 1x45 A (250 VA), or with the optional external amplier CA3, six currents. Each output can be varied independently. Both static and dynamic testing can be performed, such as prefault and fault generation, simultaneous ramping of several quantities and wave form editing. FREJA 300 can also be used as a disturbance simulator and create and generate simulated disturbances, or import actual recorded disturbances from e.g. EMTP or COMTRADE les (and edit the wave forms), by using the FREJA SIM Disturbance Simulator Software. With the built-in DC source you can supply the relay protection.

Application
Relay Testing
FREJA 300 is intended primarily for secondary testing of protective relay equipment. Virtually all types of protection relays can be tested.

Operation
Local Mode - without PC
Using the dial by turning and clicking it is easy to make the settings. All settings are saved automatically when you exit, but if you prefer you can assign the settings a name and save them separately for convenient access when you conduct your next test. The display can also show the measured value that is being generated. This feature is equivalent to three voltmeters and three ammeters that present RMS values for all generators.

Examples of what FREJA 300 can test


Distance protection equipment Synchronising or synchronism-check relays Undervoltage relays Directional Power relays Undercurrent or underpower relays Negative sequence overcurrent relays Overcurrent-/ ground fault relays Inverse time overcurrent-/ ground fault relays Power factor relays Overvoltage relays Voltage or current balance relays Directional overcurrent relays DC overcurrent relays Phase-angle measuring or out-of-step protective relays Automatic reclosing devices Frequency relays Differential protective relays Directional voltage relays Voltage and power directional relays

With a PC - FREJA WIn


FREJA Win Control center
There are a number of instrument programs. You start the different programs at the Control center, where you also save and recall results. Since the test set-ups/results are saved via a regular Microsoft Explorer display, you can create your own test object structures.

General
The all-round General instrument program serves as a convenient, easy to understand, user-friendly toolbox. On the Connect page, you can enter information about how to connect the relay, including pictures if so desired. On the Sequence page, you can vary all generator parameters independently. You can have up to 25 different states (prefault, fault1, fault2, fault3 etc.). This is useful when testing autoreclose relays or motor protection. On the Ramp page, you can ramp all generator parameters independently. Amplitudes and angles are shown on a vector diagram, and values can be set with a dial, keyboard or mouse. Its also possible to generate up to the 25th harmonic.

Distance
The Distance instrument program is designed to test distance relays. On the Conguration page, you enter the number of zones that are to be tested and also the time and impedance tolerances, thereby creating an automatic test. No programming is needed. Later, when you recall this object via the Control center, all settings are reestablished so that you can start testing immediately. On the Connect page you enter information about how to make connections to the relay, including pictures if so desired. Since this information is saved together with the object in the Control center, it can be displayed again the next time you want to test this relay. The Zt page is designed for time testing of a distance relay. Normally, you test one type of fault at a time when testing relays. With FREJA Win, however, you can test all seven fault types automatically if so desired. All you have to do is press the <Start> button. FREJA will test all seven fault types automatically and then compare the readings with the theoretical values that you entered on the Conguration page. If the readings are OK, a green lamp lights. If not, a red lamp lights. If you want to check the reverse direction, the test can start below zero ohms in the 3rd quadrant. The RX-ramp page, which is part of the Distance instrument program, is designed to test the reach of a distance relay. First, you dene the start and stop angles and the delta phi between the ramps. Then press the <Start> button and relax. FREJA will automatically test all seven types of faults using the timesaving search-half method. You can also dene your own ramps, using the mouse to specify starting and ending points wherever desired. If you have dened a theoretical reference graph, the program will compare the actual test result with your graph and check for any deviations from the tolerances entered on the Conguration page. If the results are OK, a green lamp lights. If not, a red lamp lights. The RX page enables you to dene test points manually. You can dene different points on the oscilloscope using the mouse or keyboard. Select the automatic mode and press the <Start> button. FREJA will test all points for the selected fault types. The points will be assigned different colors, depending on the trip time. If you select the manual mode, you can use the dial to search for a boundary. The RX point page, a new feature in FREJA Win 5.2, speeds up the reach tests.

Reference graphs
Efcient testing and performance analysis require well-dened reference values. FREJA can automatically create the IEC and IEEE standard curves for overcurrent relays. It is also possible to create reference graphs in the impedance plane using the included library of distance relays made by major manufacturers and/or create other characteristics using the standard circular lens and linear elements (including mho, quadrilateral and ice-cream cone shapes). The cut and paste buttons make it easy to take copies of the rst zone and then edit these copies by inserting zone 2 and zone 3 values. State-of-the-art distance relays having sophisticated impedance characteristics and several setting groups require many parameter settings. The optional ProGraph feature enables you to import the parameter settings from a master selectivity plan prepared in Microsoft Excel. This eliminates manual transfer errors, and the FREJA software creates the reference graph automatically. Some relay manufacturers can create a RIO-le with the settings of the relay. Using the FREJA RIO-converter you can create reference graphs based on these settings. A new feature is the ready-made current curves available for many relay types.

Sync
The U-f Min & Max part of the Sync instrument program is designed especially to test voltage and frequency boundaries for a synchronizing relay. This test is carried out automatically. Simply press the <Start> button, whereupon the program itself searches for the boundaries. The Synchronizing page is designed to measure lead-time. It also enables you to measure the pulses sent out from the synchronizing relay. The Synchro Check page is designed to test synchrocheck relays. First set the phase angle to +20 (or some other starting point). Then change the phase angle until you reach the boundary. You press the <Save> button to store the result. Now test on the other side, starting at -20, change the phase angle until you reach the other boundary.

Current Ampliers
Higher voltages are often needed to provide test currents for older electro-mechanical relays. The three-phase switched current amplier designated CA3 solves this problem. It can provide 3 x 30 A or 1 x 60 A connected in parallel. Maximum output power is 600 VA (3 x 25 A at 8 V). If higher voltage is needed, you can make the connection between two phases (L-L). If a higher voltage is needed than the CA3 can provide, or if you want to use a single-phase current amplier, you should choose the CA1. If you need even higher current, two or more current ampliers can be connected in parallel, thus bringing the output current up to 180 A. The current ampliers can also be used in situations where more current generators are needed than the three built into FREJA. Since the ampliers can be controlled by both current and voltage, they can be connected to FREJA's voltage generators. The number of current generators can thus be increased to six, which is convenient when testing differential relays.

PAM360

Phase Angle Meter


The PAM 360 phase angle meter is designed to test for example directional protection relays and to conduct directional tests on instrument transformers. Since precise accuracy and versatility were given top priority by designers of the compact and handy PAM360, its capabilities are equal to those of its heavier and more expensive competitors. Thanks to ne resolution and high accuracy, the PAM360 is also ideal for testing sensitive distance protection. It has a broad range and can sense either current or voltage. Moreover, the PAM360's inputs are galvanically separated from each other and from the mains. Its many outstanding features make the PAM360 a highly versatile instrument, and it is priced competitively. The PAM360 is delivered complete with test lead set in a handy transport case.

Step-Up Transformer
When power systems are put into operation or when faults occur, it becomes necessary to check the instrument transformers to make sure that they are providing test instruments and protective relay equipment with the correct outputs. MAGNUS permits you to prepare excitation curves for instrument transformers quickly and easily. MAGNUS is also used to demagnetize current transformer cores and to conduct turn-ratio tests on voltage transformers. Even though it weighs only 16 kg (35 lbs), it provides 1 A at 2.2 kV. Two-hand control enhances personal safety. As standard, MAGNUS is delivered with a special high-voltage cable and a robust transport case.

Testing circuit breakers


High voltage circuit breakers are extremely important for the function of modern electric power supply systems. The breaker is the active link that ultimately has the role of quickly opening the primary circuit when a fault has occurred. Many times, the breaker has to perform its duty within a few milliseconds, after months, perhaps years of idly standing by. Since RCM and condition based maintenance have become the established strategies for most owners and operators of electric power supply systems, the need for reliable and accurate eld test instruments is obvious. Ever since its introduction in 1984 of the rst microprocessor based breaker analyzer on the world market, GE Energy has taken the lead in portable test instruments for high voltage circuit breakers. Over the years, many new user requirements have lead GE Energy to innovate new solutions to provide test engineers in the eld with effective tools for determining the status of circuit breakers. you can ascertain that a breaker is in good condition, you can continue to use it rather than replace it. Here too, however, effective diagnostic methods are of prime importance.

Circuit Breaker Testing


Before a new circuit breaker is delivered, it is tested at the factory. After it has been installed, it is submitted to a commissioning test before being taken into service. Thereafter, it is inspected and tested on different occasions. Usually, a circuit breaker has to be taken out of service in order to test it. The following parameters are often tested on a circuit breaker: closing time, opening time, resistance of the main contacts and synchronization of contact operation. Contact travel and speed are also tested (as recommended in the IEC 62271-100 and IEEE C37.09 standard and other literature). Some other methods for circuit breaker diagnostics are dynamic resistance and vibration testing. Moreover, checks are made to see that the solenoids and latches operate properly. This is done by measuring the lowest breaker operating voltage and checking the shape of the coil current curve. Measured values are compared with limit values specied by the manufacturer or values that have been arrived at by the maintenance organization through experience. In many cases, a ngerprint consisting of different measurements taken when a breaker is new is compiled. This ngerprint can then be used as a reference for subsequent measurements. Any change that is found clearly indicates a change in the breakers condition.

Different maintenance strategies


If a maintenance strategy that is strictly corrective is adopted, no attempts are made to deal with a developing circuit breaker fault before it becomes fatal. This does not, however, ensure the reliable supply of electric power that consumers are entitled to expect. Short-term savings in maintenance costs will soon be eaten up by the cost of the damage and the cost of correcting a fault. Preventive maintenance - which includes inspection, testing, overhauls and modications - is a strategy that is encountered more frequently. In time interval-based maintenance, a number of specic measures are taken at predetermined times, regardless of the conditions under which a circuit breaker operates. If this method is applied too strictly, however, it may lead to needless intervention. Disassembling a circuit breaker that has no faults entails needless expense, and it does not improve reliability. Condition-based maintenance is being used more and more. Here, you ascertain the condition of a circuit breaker through testing and inspection. The results, supplemented with statistical data and cumulative experience, are then used to plan maintenance for the circuit breaker in question. The breakers need for maintenance is based less on time than on the conditions to which it is exposed, how frequently it operates and its environment. Condition-based maintenance provides excellent opportunities to improve reliability and cut costs, but it requires effective diagnostic methods. Many circuit breakers provide longer service lives than expected. If

TM1800

Circuit Breaker Analyzer System


The TM1800 is a recently developed instrument platform for circuit breaker maintenance, based on 20 years experience of over 4,000 delivered breaker analyzers. The modular construction makes it possible to congure the TM1800 for measurements on all known types of breaker in operation on the world market. The robust design contains powerful new technology that streamlines circuit breaker testing. Sophisticated measurement modules enable great time savings as many parameters can be measured simultaneously, eliminating the need for new setup each time. A new type of timing channel with high analog resolution can not only measure contact timing, but also provide resistance values for series resistance and main contacts. A highly capable, easy-to-use piece of software supports everything from timing using a simple knob without the need for presettings, to advanced help functions for hooking up to the test object. The system also offers full connection capability to the local network, printers etc

Application
Timing Measurements
Simultaneous measurements within a single phase are important in situations where a number of contacts are connected in series. Here, the breaker becomes a voltage divider when it opens a circuit. If the time differences are too great, the voltage becomes too high across one contact, and the tolerance for most types of breakers is less than 2 ms. The time tolerance for simultaneous measurements between phases is greater for a 3-phase power transmission system running at 50 Hz since there is always 6.67 ms between zero-crossovers. Still, the time tolerance is usually specied as less than 2 ms, even for such systems. It should also be noted that breakers that perform synchronized breaking must meet more stringent requirements in both of the previously stated situations. There are no generalized time limits for the time relationships between main and auxiliary contacts, but it is still important to understand and check their operation. The purpose of an auxiliary contact is to close and open a circuit. Such a circuit might enable a closing coil when a breaker is about to perform a closing operation and then open the circuit immediately after the operation starts, thereby preventing coil burnout. The a contact must close well in advance of the closing of the main contact. The b contact must open when the operating mechanism has released its stored energy in order to close the breaker. The breaker manufacturer will be able to provide detailed information about this cycle.

Coil Currents
These can be measured on a routine basis to detect potential mechanical and/or electrical problems in actuating coils well in advance of their emergence as actual faults. The coils maximum current (if current is permitted to reach its highest value) is a direct function of the coils resistance and actuating voltage. This test indicates whether or not a winding has been short-circuited. When you apply a voltage across a coil, the current curve rst shows a straight transition whose rate of rise depends on the coils electrical characteristic and the supply voltage (points 1-2). When the coil armature (which actuates the latch on the operating mechanisms energy package) starts to move, the electrical relationship changes and the coil current drops (points 3-5). When the armature hits its mechanical end position, the coil current rises to the current proportional to the coil voltage (points 5-8). The auxiliary contact then opens the circuit and the coil current drops to zero with a current decay caused by the inductance in the circuit (points 8-9). The peak value of the rst, lower current peak is related to the fully saturated coil current (max current), and this relationship gives an indication of the spread to the lowest tripping voltage. If the coil was to reach its maximum current before the armature and latch start to move, the breaker would not be tripped. It is important to note, however, that the relationship between the two current peaks varies, particularly with temperature. This also applies to the lowest tripping voltage.

Motion Measurements
A high-voltage breaker is designed to interrupt a specic short-circuit current, and this requires operation at a given speed in order to build up an adequate cooling stream of air, oil or gas (depending on the type of breaker). This stream cools the electric arc sufciently to interrupt the current at the next zero-crossover. It is important to interrupt the current in such a way that the arc will not re-strike before the breaker contact has entered the so-called damping zone. Speed is calculated between two points on the motion curve. The upper point is dened as a distance in length, degrees or percentage of movement from a) the breakers closed position, or b) the contactclosure or contact-separation point. The time that elapses between these two points ranges from 10 to 20 ms, which corresponds to 1-2 zero-crossovers. The distance throughout which the breakers electric arc must be extinguished is usually called the arcing zone. From the motion curve, a velocity or acceleration curve can be calculated in order to reveal even marginal changes that may have taken place in the breaker mechanics. Damping is an important parameter for the high energy operating mechanisms used to open and close a circuit breaker. If the damping device does not function satisfactorily, the powerful mechanical strains that develop can shorten breaker service life and/or cause serious damage. The damping of opening operations is usually measured as a second speed, but it can also be based on the time that elapses between two points just above the breakers open position.

Dynamic Resistance Measurement (DRM)


The main contact resistance during operation is obtained by DRM. DRM is mainly used for determination of arcing contacts shortening.

TM1800 has a modular design that makes it very exible to user needs. You can congure the Basic Unit to a complete test set with the types of modules you need, for a specic test as-well as for general needs. The modularised design enables any user to upgrade or recongure the hardware for improved/new functionality. All inputs and outputs on the TM1800 and the modules are designed to withstand the harsh environment in high-voltage substations and industrial environments. With built-in protection circuits and software-designed protection the TM1800 has a good guard to inuences and even failures caused by over-voltages generated in the environment.

The Control Module can be congured to operate any close and trip coil to perform the programmed sequence and measure important parameters during the sequence like current, voltage, resistance and auxiliary contact timing. Two control modules can be used to control the breaker and measure coil current, control voltage, coil resistance and auxiliary contact timing for each phase on one phase operated circuit breakers. Three independent contact functions per module Pre-programmed sequences C, O, C-O, OC, O-C-O All sequence settings are user congurable in CABA Local (internal software) Timing of a and b auxiliary contacts

Timing M/R Module


Introduces the new generation of timing measurements with an analog design that enables a more accurate and faster testing of circuit breaker parameters. The Timing M/ R module uses one hook-up for testing all the important timing parameters of an interrupter without the need of reconnections or special set-ups. One Timing M/R module will measure up to six interrupters including linear PIR contacts timing and present the result individually for each contact. The Timing M/R also measures the voltage drop when DRM is performed without need of time consuming and hazardous reconnections since the same test leads are used for both timing and voltage measurement. Six channels per module Main contact timing Parallel resistor contact timing Resistance value of parallel resistors

PC-card Module
Storage of recorded data is done in the PCcard module that is delivered with every TM1800 system. This module is easily removed during transport or storage of the TM1800 to minimize the risk of data getting lost. The PC-card module comes with two standard PCMCIA slots that can be used for memory cards, w-lan etc. As an option the standard mechanical hard disk can be replaced with a ash disk that withstand higher environmental requirements when used in rougher environments or often transported. This module is always tted into slot 10. Two type I/II/III PCMCIA slots 20 GB storage capacity on built-in hard drive Optional: Flash disk (ordered separately)

EGIL

EGIL

Circuit Breaker Analyzer


EGIL, which incorporates benets gained from experience with our larger TM1600/MA61 instrument, is intended primarily for testing distribution and smaller transmission breakers. Smaller and simpler, EGIL is equally versatile and EGIL's price makes it attractive to small power plants. Moreover, it provides an ideal supplementary instrument for maintenance departments at large power companies. EGIL is designed to test circuit breakers having only one main contact per phase. Its three time channels are connected together on one side. Events at parallel contacts equipped with pre-insertion resistors are recorded and displayed simultaneously. There are two separate time channels for measurement of auxiliary contacts. To simplify on-site hookup, EGIL comes with ready-made multi-cable sets for both main and auxiliary contacts. Coil currents are measured automatically and presented together with other readings immediately after testing on the display window or via the built-in printer. EGIL is easy to use a built-in sequencer (program unit) sets the instrument automatically for the next sequential breaker operation. Intended primarily for measuring travel (motion), the optional analog input channel nds many other uses as well. If this channel is not installed, all associated menu commands are hidden. EGIL can also be equipped with an optional serial interface (RS-232C) for communication with a personal computer (PC) and the CABA Win Circuit Breaker Analysis Software.

Application
Space for your report data EGIL is intended primarily for testing high-voltage circuit breakers at medium-level voltages. There must not, however, be more than one breakpoint per phase since the time channels are not galvanically isolated. Contact times are recorded for main contacts, pre-insertion resistor contacts and auxiliary contacts. Coil currents are also recorded. Besides the actual measurement values several parameters according to IEC standards are calculated and shown in the report, e.g. closing and opening time, difference between phases, over-travel, CO and OC time (and others).

Circuit Breaker Analysis Software


Effective circuit breaker maintenance requires comprehensive, accurate testing. The ability to accurately compare circuit breaker tests with previous test results is essential. It must thus be possible to conduct tests in exactly the same way and under the same conditions as those conducted earlier. Comparison can then provide a clear picture of any deviations and changes, thereby indicating whether or not the circuit breaker should be kept in operation or taken out of service. Comprehensive, accurate testing also requires analytical tools and efcient reporting. It must be possible to validate test results in detail and then easily compare them with other test results. The Programma Computer-aided Breaker Analysis (CABA Win) program has earned an enviable reputation in this eld. Test results from earlier versions of CABA are upwards compatible to CABA Win. CABA Win can be used with Programma breaker analyzers TM1800, TM1600/MA61 and EGIL. CABA Win organizes all the test tasks and ensures that measurements are conducted in the same way for each object being tested. CABA Win saves the results and generates the report. In the analysis section, the user can work with a number of graphic windows, compare different measurements by overlaying one graph on another in the same display, and use cursors and powerful zoom functions for detailed analysis. CABA Win simplies testing and ensures the quality of the test procedure.

Operation
Test plans
CABA can be used for all breaker testing applications, ranging from simple time measurement to dynamic resistance and vibration measurements. A circuit breaker is dened before it is tested the rst time. All of the entered data is kept together. This enables CABA Win to step the user through the test procedure in exactly the same way each time the breaker is tested. This results in efciency gains throughout the test process, since the tests are conducted in exactly the same way regardless of who did the original testing. Accurate comparisons can be condently made from one test to the next. All of the test and circuit breaker data is saved together with the breakers unique test plan. It is also possible to enter the results of manually conducted tests, and to enter separate comments for the breaker regarding the test in question. After being organized on the basis of individual circuit breakers and individual tests, the data can be stored in a data-base. Each breaker is given a unique identity by means of four individually user-dened elds. A breaker specic test plan is automatically created, based on the specied test and breaker data. The test plan controls the individual measurements, the test points that are to be used, the transducers connected to the different measurement channels, and the parameters that are to be calculated. The test plan also species the data that is to be presented graphically and how the results are to be reported.

Transducers and conversion tables


Linear and angular travel, voltage, current, pressure and vibration transducers can be dened and calibrated with CABA Win. The calibration accuracy for a transducer is determined by the user. The calibration program automatically indicates whether or not the desired accuracy has been achieved, along with the actual calibration data. A conversion table needed to recalculate data from angular movement to linear movement can be linked to a given transducer. This makes it possible to measure contact travel of a circuit breaker in situations where a transducer cannot be connected directly to the moving contact.

Analyzing the test data


The test data is presented graphically and in table form. Multiple graphs and testresults can be displayed simultaneously. Zoom functions and cursors make it easy to conduct detailed analysis of test data. Comparisons between different tests can be viewed conveniently by overlaying them in a single window. Colors, grids, scales and the positioning of the test data are all controlled by the user.

Calculation parameters
Readings and calculated values are presented in table form. The test plan determines which parameters are to be calculated and presented. The user can delete and/or add calculable parameters, depending on the circuit breaker design, the way it is hooked up and the operations being performed. More than 200 different calculation parameters are dened in CABA Win.

Test data and breaker data


The test data and all the items of information about the circuit breaker are stored individually. The data can be copied and/or exported to other data media and formats. Test data, test plans and conversion tables from older versions of CABA can be easily transferred into CABA Win.

Limits
For each parameter and operation, the user can dene pass and fail limits for each circuit breaker. If the user activates the function, CABA Win automatically compares each measured value to the actual limits and ags the values which are outside the limits.

Database
A database for storing measurements. For easy administration and backup of measurements.

Reporting
CABA Win contains a complete report generator which enables the user to design unique report forms as desired. A number of predened standard reports can be used as supplied, or they can be edited. The report form is saved together with the breaker data, and can be used in future tests. Graphs and screen displays can be copied to the clipboard and to a folder for additional processing in other Windowsapplications software.

Optional accessories
Vibration analysis software
Vibration analysis is a non-invasive method using an acceleration sensor without moving parts. The breaker can stay in service during the test. A single Open-Close operation is all that is required for the measurement. The rst operation is different compared to the second and third because of corrosion and other metal to metal contact issues. Vibration is an excellent method to capture the rst operation after long time in the same position. The analysis compares the vibration time series with earlier taken reference. In addition to the clear indication on breaker functionality more detailed information can be obtained within the analysis software. The indication is based on a DTW (Dynamic Time Warping) analysis of difference to reference data. The vibration method detects faults that can hardly be indicated with conventional methods. But if conventional data such as contact time, travel curve, coil current and voltage are available in addition to the vibration data even more precise condition assessment is possible. The vibration data is stored together with available conventional data. The Vibration method is published in CIGR and IEEE papers. Since about 10 years is it utilized in the industry for testing all kind of breakers from 400 kV distribution to industrial sites. The method was rst established on the Scandinavian market. Vibration can be performed under very safe manners for the test technician as both sides can be grounded throughout the test. Also less climbing is required since no access to the breaker contact system is needed, the acceleration sensor is easily mounted on the breaker.

Linear and angular travel, voltage, current, pressure and vibration transducers can be dened and calibrated with CABA Win.

MOM690

Microhmmeter
Measuring resistance is an important part of maintaining high-voltage breakers and disconnecting switches. Instruments that measure the resistance of high-current contacts and other transmission elements have been included in the Programma line of products for many years. MOM690 supplements our family of microhmmeters. In addition to high current capacity, MOM690 features microprocessor-based measurement, storage and reporting. The built-in software enables you to carry out an individual test or an entire series of tests and store the results. With the optional MOMWin software you can also export the test results to a PC for further analysis and reporting. Ranges are set automatically, resistances are measured continually and test results can be automatically captured at a preset test current. What could be simpler? After testing a breaker with a CT mounted in its current circuit, e.g. dead tank and GIS breakers, some standards recommended that the CT is demagnetized. This troublesome task can be accomplished quickly and easily thanks to the MOM690's AC output. The AC output can also be used as a general multi-purpose current source in different applications.

50

Application example
IMPORTANT! Read the Users manual before using the instrument. Measuring the resistance of a breaker
1. Make certain the line is de-energized on both sides of the breaker. Ground the breaker on one side and make certain it is closed. 2. Ground the microhmmeter. 3. Make certain the microhmmeter's ON/OFF switch is OFF while making connections. 4. Connect the current cables to the DC+ and COM terminals and the sensing cables to the sensing inputs to both sides of the breaker, making sure that the polarities match properly. IMPORTANT: The sensing cables must be connected inside the current cables. Otherwise the test data will be incorrect. See Fig. 5. Switch on the MOM690. 6. Select "AUTO" or "MAN" with the <FUNC>-button. 7. Set output current to zero to start the measurement. 8. Increase the current to the desired value (600 A for example). 9. Read the resistance value.

Optional accessories
PC Software MOMWin
An optional Windows program named MOMWin is available for MOM690. It can be used to control measurement, analyse the results and report the results from a PC. It also enables you to retrieve test results stored previously in MOM690. All readings are saved in ASCII-format and can be easily exported to your favourite spreadsheet program. Results can be presented in table or diagram form in MOMWin. The program runs in Windows 95, 98, NT, 2000 or XP. Minimum requirement is a 486 computer with 8 MB of RAM. Incl. serial cable for RS-232 port.

Cable extension sets


Since all current cables have bayonet connectors, standard cables can be easily prolonged with 5- or 10-metre extension sets if so desired. In situations requiring high currents and long cable lengths, heavier cable sets may be necessary however.

Measuring resistance at busbar joints


1. Make certain the line is de-energized and the test object is grounded. 2. Ground the microhmmeter. 3. Make certain the microhmmeter's ON/OFF switch is OFF while making connections. 4. Connect the microhmmeter's current cables to the test object. Do not connect the sensing cables. Measurement will be done manually using an external portable voltmeter. 5. Switch on the MOM690. 6. Select "MAN" with the <FUNC>-button. 7. Set output current to zero to start the measurement. 8. Increase the current to the desired value (100 A for example). 9. Using an external voltmeter, measure the voltage drop across each contact element within every section of the busbar being tested. The voltmeter must be set to DC. 10. Calculate the actual resistance. Example: If the voltage drop is 0.0067 V at a current of 100 A, the resistance will be 0.0067/100 , i.e. 67 .

Microhmmeter
Switchgear breakdowns are frequently caused by excessively high contact resistance at breakpoints and busbar joints. Moreover, overheating risks are becoming more serious due to the fact that today's distribution networks have to carry heavier loads. Checking contact resistances at regular intervals detects faults before they cause overheating. And here, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Microhmmeters are used to measure contact resistances in high-voltage breakers, disconnecting switches (isolators), knife-contact fuses, bus joints, line joints etc. The MOM600A is in a class apart on world markets. Designed for use from the arctic to the tropics, this rugged, compact microhmmeter is ideal for eld work. A complete set of equipment includes a set of highly exible cables (including separate measurement cables) and a sturdy transport case.

The MOM200A is an excellent choice when 200 amperes or less are needed for measurement. Since the MOM200A weighs only about 14 kg (31 lbs), it's convenient to take along with you. MOM200A is ideal for nding poor connections since it can put out 100 A for extended periods. Its range extending up to 20 milliohms makes it ideal for measuring many different types of connections. A complete MOM200A includes a cable set (including separate sensing cables) and a transport case.

B10 E

B10E

Power Supply Unit


A variable DC voltage is usually needed to test a circuit breaker. Substation batteries should not be used since this entails considerable risk for testing personnel, testing equipment and also for the equipment being tested. The best way to ascertain whether or not solenoids and protective mechanisms are sluggish or set improperly is to perform a test at minimum tripping voltage. The minimum trip voltage test is described in a number of international and national standards such as IEC 62271-100, ANSI C37.09 etc. B10E can be used to test breaker coils in this manner. It provides a ripple-free variable DC voltage that can easily accomodate a high, variable load. Since there is a separate output for supplying spring-charging motors, the B10E is ideal for testing circuit breakers where auxiliary voltage is not connected (industrial-truck circuit breakers for example). The Programma compact Power Supply Unit B10E provides reliable assistance to those who do maintenance on high-voltage breakers. The control panel's intuitive layout makes it easy to operate, and the built-in thermal cutout and overload protector make it safe to use. The B10E has been developed in collaboration with breaker manufacturers and testing personnel.

62

Application example
IMPORTANT! Read the Users manual before using the instrument. Testing the minimum trip voltage of a breaker
1. Connect Power Supply Unit B10E to the breaker's opening circuit and to the spring-charging motor. 2. Set the desired test voltage using the variac. 3. Activate the trip pulse switch. 4. Repeat steps 2-3 at a higher voltage if the circuit breaker does not trip. When using the B10E, we recommend that the incoming power be protected by a 16 A wall-socket fuse. The incoming current surge occurring at certain combinations can blow the fuse if a slow-blow 10 A fuse or a quick-action 16 A fuse is used. To minimize blowing of the wall-socket fuse, the B10E Softstart is equipped with a device that reduces the peak current surges that can blow this fuse. The B10E Softstart will substantially reduce but will not fully eliminate the blowing of 10 A fuses.

VIDAR

VIDAR

Vacuum Tester
When a vacuum circuit breaker is commissioned or undergoes routine tests, it's very important to be able to ascertain whether or not the vacuum bottle is intact before putting it back into operation. VIDAR enables you to check the integrity of the vacuum bottle quickly and conveniently by means of the known relationship between the ashover voltage and the underpressure in the breaking chamber. A suitable test voltage is applied to the breaker, and the result is displayed immediately. VIDAR permits you to select among six test voltages from 10 to 60 kV DC. One of these voltages is customized and specied by the customer when ordering. A green lamp indicates approval of the breaking chamber. A red lamp indicates that it is defective. A two-hand control and a high-voltage warning lamp enhances safety. VIDAR has been developed in close collaboration with leading manufacturers of vacuum circuit breakers. It weighs only about 6 kg (15 lbs), and it's easy to use since breaking chambers do not have to be dismounted for testing. VIDAR is therefore ideal for use in the eld.

Testing battery systems


In the event of a power failure, battery systems are often used to provide standby power for important items of equipment such as protective relay systems, circuit breakers and monitoring devices all of which require standby power during power outages. Electric power plants are equipped with many different types of battery systems. Here, the pumps that lubricate generator bearings are examples of equipment for which standby power is crucial. Telephone exchanges must also be kept operating on standby power. Computer systems depend heavily on standby power. Even a brief power outage can cause critical data to be lost. Recovering from such damage is often very expensive.

Battery capacity
A battery system must be able to provide power throughout a given interval without having its terminal voltage drop below a specied minimum value. Current multiplied by time expressed in hours (Ah) is called capacity. The manufacturer species a batterys capacity rating. New batteries must be in operation for a while before they are able to reach maximum capacity. As a battery ages its capacity drops, and it cannot provide the specied current for as long as previously. Under favorable circumstances, a batterys life expectancy can range up to 20 years, but many have shorter service lives. By measuring actual capacity it is possible to determine whether or not it is time to replace a battery system. You can save a great deal of money by ascertaining the best time to replace a battery. Since batteries age much faster as they get older, measuring capacity at regular intervals is of prime importance.

Maintaining batteries
A battery system must be inspected and tested at regular intervals. Faults can occur long before the systems life expectancy is reached. Experience shows that these statements hold true for all types of battery systems. A number of standards (IEEE 450 and IEEE 1188 for example) cover the maintenance of battery systems. There are many reasons to thoroughly inspect a battery system (see IEEE 450). Battery charger settings need attention. Faulty charging shortens a batterys service life. Voltages can vary so much from cell to cell that an equalizing charge is needed. There may be corrosion on the terminal posts, at internal connections etc. Leakage. Improper ambient temperature and/or ventilation. Normally a general inspection is conducted at regular intervals (ranging from monthly to yearly). The battery should be connected as usual during inspection, i.e. the charger should be carrying the load and oat-charging the battery. A number of parameters should be measured in connection with a general inspection: a) ambient temperature, b) total terminal voltage, c) charger output current and output voltage, d) cell voltages, e) acid density, f) electrolyte temperature and level, g) water consumption and h) resistances of connections.

Capacity test
The most reliable and most widely accepted method of determining battery system capacity is to conduct a discharge test. Prior to testing, the battery system must be well charged. The test is conducted by discharging the battery at a constant current specied by the battery manufacturer. This continues until battery voltage has dropped to a level which corresponds to that of a discharged battery. The hours needed to reach this minimum level are then multiplied by the current to obtain the actual capacity (Ah). Cell voltages are also measured at regular intervals, and this becomes increasingly important toward the end of the test when it reveals the presence of weak cells.

TORKEL 820 TELECOM

TORKEL 820 Telecom

Battery Load Unit


During a power outage, crucial telecommunication and radio equipment must be kept operating by batteries. Unfortunately, however, the capacity of such batteries can drop signicantly for a number of reasons before their calculated life expectancy is reached. Battery capacity should thus be checked to prevent expensive downtime in the event of a power failure. The most reliable way to determine battery capacity is to conduct a discharge test. The TORKEL 820 Battery Load Unit features a unique design that combines efciency with portability. Using TORKEL 820 you can discharge 24 and 48 V batteries at a current of 270 A, and 12 V batteries at 135 A. Moreover, two or more TORKEL 820 units and/or extra load units, TXL, can be linked together if you need higher current. Discharging proceeds at constant current, constant power or constant resistance, or in accordance with a pre-selected load prole. TORKEL 820 issues a warning and/or shuts down the test automatically when a) the voltage has dropped to a certain level, b) discharging has continued through a certain time interval or c) a certain amount of capacity has been dissipated.

72

Application example
IMPORTANT! Read the Users manual before using the instrument.
Testing can be carried out without disconnecting the battery from the equipment it serves. Via a DC clamp-on ammeter, TORKEL 820 measures total battery current while regulating it at a constant level. 1. Connect TORKEL 820 to battery. 2. Set the current and start discharging. TORKEL 820 keeps the current constant at the preset level. 3. When the voltage drops to a level slightly above the nal voltage, TORKEL 820 issues an alarm. 4. If the voltage drops low enough so that there is risk of deepdischarging the battery, TORKEL 820 shuts down the test. The total voltage curve and the readings taken at the end of the test are stored in TORKEL 820. Later, using the TORKEL Win program which runs on a PC under Windows, you can transfer these readings to your computer for storage, printout or export. If your PC is connected to TORKEL 820 during the test, TORKEL Win builds up a voltage curve on the screen in real time and displays the current, voltage and capacity readings. You can also control the test using TORKEL Win.

Battery Load Units


Batteries in power plants and transformer substations must provide the equipment they serve with standby power in the event of a power failure. Unfortunately, however, the capacity of such batteries can drop signicantly for a number of reasons before their calculated life expectancy is reached. This is why it is so important the check batteries at regular intervals, and the only reliable way of measuring battery capacity is to conduct a discharge test. TORKEL 840-UTILITY is used for battery systems ranging from 12 to 250 V often encountered in switchgear and similar equipment. Discharging can take place at up to 110 A, and if higher current is needed, two or more TORKEL 840 units or extra load units, TXL, can be linked together. Tests can be conducted at constant current, constant power, constant resistance or in accordance with a pre-selected load prole. TORKEL 860-MULTI is designed primarily for people who travel from place to place to maintain battery systems having different voltages. It features excellent discharging capacity plus a broad voltage range and outstanding portability a unique combination. TORKEL 860 is used for systems ranging from 12 to 480 V, and discharging can proceed at up to 110 A. If higher current is desired, two or more TORKEL 860 units or extra load units, TXL, can be linked together. Discharging can take place at constant current, constant output, constant resistance or in accordance with a pre-selected load prole.

Application example
IMPORTANT! Read the Users manual before using the instrument.
Testing can be carried out without disconnecting the battery from the equipment it serves. Via a DC clamp-on ammeter, TORKEL measures total battery current while regulating it at a constant level. 1. Connect TORKEL to battery. 2. Set the current and start discharging. TORKEL keeps the current constant at the preset level. 3. When the voltage drops to a level slightly above the nal voltage, TORKEL issues an alarm. 4. If the voltage drops low enough so that there is risk of deepdischarging the battery, TORKEL shuts down the test. The total voltage curve and the readings taken at the end of the test are stored in TORKEL. Later, using the TORKEL Win program which runs on a PC under Windows, you can transfer these readings to your computer for storage, printout or export. If your PC is connected to TORKEL during the test, TORKEL Win builds up a voltage curve on the screen in real time and displays the current, voltage and capacity readings. You can also control the test using TORKEL Win.

PRIMARY INJEC TION TE S TING

Primary injection testing


For primary injection testing, high current is injected on the primary side of the current transformer. The entire chain current transformer, conductors, connection points, relay protection and sometimes circuit breakers as well is covered by the test. The system being tested must be taken out of service during primary injection testing, usually conducted in connection with commissioning. Low voltage circuit breakers are used in distribution networks, in industry, ships, trains etc. Reliable operation of LV-breakers is in many cases very important, for example in nuclear power plants, subways and oil platforms. The only way to verify that a direct-acting low voltage circuit breaker operates properly is to inject a high current.

83

ODEN AT

ODEN AT

Primary Current Injection Test System


This powerful test system is designed for primary injection testing of protective relay equipment and circuit breakers. It is also used to test the transformation ratio of current transformers and for other applications that require high variable currents. The system consists of a control unit together with one, two or three current units. There are three versions of the current unit: S, X and H. The S and X current units are identical except that the X unit has an additional 30/60 V output. The H unit is rated for even higher current. This makes it possible to congure an ODEN AT system in a suitable way. All parts are portable, and ODEN AT can be quickly assembled and connected. The control unit has many advanced features a powerful measurement section for example, that can display transformation ratio as well as time, voltage and current. A second measurement channel can be used to test an additional current or voltage. Current transformer turns ratio, impedance, resistance, power, power factor (cos ) and phase angle are calculated and shown in the display. Current and voltage can be presented as percentages of nominal value. The fast-acting hold function freezes short-duration readings on the digital display when the voltage or contact signal arrives at the stop input, the object under test interrupts the current or injection is stopped.

84

Application
Primary current injection testing and breaker testing
These tests require high currents and the ability to measure very short current and time cycles. Oden AT has been designed especially to meet these needs. No extra contacts are needed to measure the operating time of a low-voltage breaker. Testing stops at the instant when the main breaker contacts open to interrupt the current. Output current initiation is synchronized with the currents zero-crossover point to ensure good repeatability and minimized DC offset.

Testing current transformers


For turns-ratio testing, the primary current and either the secondary current or the turns-ratio are displayed simultaneously. Since the turns-ratio is displayed directly as the nominal value (1000/5 for example), no further calculation is needed. Burden of secondary circuits can be measured and presented in VA.

Polarity testing
The currents phase displacement is shown, and the polarities of the outputs are clearly marked.

Heat runs
Oden AT is ideal for performing heat runs. Current can be applied continuously or through programmable intervals. The times can be shown in minutes and hours which facilitates long-term testing.

Automatic reclosers and sectionalizers


Oden AT can also be set to test direct-acting automatic reclosers and sectionalizers. Operating limits, partial times, total times and the number of operations before lockout can be measured. Userselectable reclosing sequences can be programmed for testing sectionalizers.

Testing integrity of ground grids and safety-ground devices


One way to test ground grids is by injecting current between a reference ground and the ground to be tested and measuring the voltage drop and the percentage of current owing through the ground grid. The type X current unit included with Oden AT is designed for this type of application. Personal safety grounds must be tested at rated current, a task for which Oden AT is well suited.

Also used to select the desired range or select autoranging. SYSTEM. Used for general settings. MEMORY. Used to save or recall settings to or from the ten Oden AT memories. One of these memories contains the default (pre-dened) settings that are invoked when Oden AT is powered up.

APPLICATION. Used to invoke the desired measurement mode: a) automatic recloser, b) sectionalizer or c) microhmmeter. Oden AT can also be set to generate pulse trains with userselectable pulse and pause times. Selection/setting (CHANGE) knob Selects the desired menu option (shown in the display window). Also used to change numerical values. Knob for ne adjustment of current and +/- buttons for coarse adjustment. Current reduction button Used during setting to reduce the output current to 1/30. Useful in order to avoid for example unintentional tripping and overheating. Injection Starts current injection and timing. Momentary Injection When this button is used, injection continues only as long as it is pressed. Useful in order to avoid for example overheating. RS232 for computer Oden AT is equipped with a serial port for communication with personal computers (for transfer of test data for example).

Manual shutoff Injection and timing are stopped when this button is pressed. Automatic injection stop Generation stops after a user-specied interval or when condition at the input is met. The diodes show the selected OFF condition. Input for voltmeter Used to measure voltage and also for microhmmeter measurement. Indicator lamps Indicate whether ammeter 2 or the voltmeter is enabled. Input for ammeter 2 Used to measure current in an external circuit (in a current transformers secondary winding for example). Stop-condition indicator Indicates that a contact connected to the input is closed or if voltage is present. Status indicator Indicates if a contact connected to the input is closed or if voltage is present. Stop input Used to freeze a reading or stop injection. Activated when current is interrupted by the object being tested, when an external contact is actuated or when a voltage is applied or removed.

To combine outstanding versatility with user-friendliness, ODEN AT's designers gave the front panel and user interface top priority. The clearly marked control panel is divided into sections. There are a number of pre-dened settings for frequently encountered applications. You can repeat any test by pressing a single button.

Current Supply Units


These high-current supply units have two main elds of application. The rst is to conduct primary tests on protective relays. A primary test shows whether all parts of the protection system are functioning together properly within the specied time limits under operating conditions. The second eld of application involves conducting current tests on low-voltage circuit breakers and overcurrent devices. The CSU600A is a compact instrument which, together with Timer TM200 and an external ammeter, meets stringent requirements for accuracy, easy handling and performance. This current supply unit is ideal for a) performance and turn-ratio tests of current transformers, b) primary tests of protective relays, c) current tests on low- and high-voltage circuit breakers and d) commissioning tests that require variable currents. The more sophisticated CSU600AT provides a more comprehensive solution. It has a built-in timer and an analog ammeter that provide rough current settings quickly and easily. As a result, connection time has been reduced to the bare minimum. The CSU600A and CSU600AT current supply units have an excellent weight/performance ratio.

96

Application example
IMPORTANT! Read the Users manual before using the instrument. Primary test of protective relay equipment and low-voltage circuit breaker

Timer
A timer is often needed for use with the CSU600A current supply unit or ODEN A primary current injection test system. Testing relays with SVERKER 650 also requires an extra timer if more than one timing cycle is to be measured. Timer TM200 is ideal for these tasks thanks to its precise accuracy, its broad application range and its compact dimensions. Timer TM200 is the obvious choice for maintenance work in substations.

DIAGNOS TIC TE S TING OF INSUL ATION

Diagnostic Testing of Insulation


Electric utilities the world over are facing an increasingly difcult challenge to secure steady electrical supply to demanding customers, while at the same time having to cut costs in operations and maintenance to remain commercially competitive. The single largest cause of costly downtime at high voltage installations is aging and damage to insulation materials. One can take the power transformer as an example, the most expensive component at a substation, with a relatively long expected life span. By being able to ensure that the transformers insulation material is in good condition, its life span can be safely increased, which provides a prot for the transformer owner. Detection can also be made of when aging of the insulation has gone too far and maintenance can be schedule to avoid changing the transformer prematurely, also providing economic benets. There has been a problem with the lack of suitable measurement instruments for diagnosis of insulation material in a reliable manner that does not damage equipment and material. The diagnostic methods that have been available have most often been limited to use in laboratory environments, and have therefore been difcult to apply in the eld. Another problem is that they have not provided sufcient information to form a basis for further action. Other available methods have entailed excessive electrical stress on the object under evaluation, which introduces risks for object failure during testing. Often, a combination of the mentioned obstacles has resulted in a situation where no or few measurements are performed on installed units. Because premature repairs and replacements are much more expensive than scheduled maintenance, we are convinced that there is an unfullled demand for a lightweight, portable and user-friendly system for insulation diagnostics that is suitable for use in the eld. At the same time, all measurement results must be accurate and sufciently detailed to form a basis for decisions on maintenance and replacement of expensive components in substations. In the past, using traditional measurement methods (often variations of the classic Schering bridge), high voltages have been required of up to several thousand volts to attain accurate results. One of the reasons for this has been the corruption of measurements caused by mains frequency interference from adjacent high voltage lines in substations. To bring down the resulting errors, a relatively high voltage has been required to perform measurements. With the IDA 200 Insulation Diagnostics System 200 GE Energy has chosen a different path. With the focus on aging of insulation materials, we use a lower voltage in that this often offers advantages in comparison to using high measuring voltages. The IDA 200 measures the capacitance and dielectric losses at discrete frequencies, both above and below the mains frequency (output signals with frequencies from 0.1 mHz to 1 kHz are available). By avoiding the mains frequency and its harmonics, the inuence of disturbances can be effectively ltered. By measuring the capacitance and the dielectric losses over a frequency spectrum (rather than at a xed frequency alone), much information can be obtained on the condition of insulation materials. For example, it is possible to differentiate between different materials, and also to identify aging processes in the insulation material.

IDA 200

Insulation Diagnostics System


The measurement and analysis methods employed in the IDA 200 are based on research conducted at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, with resources and input from leading users and manufacturers of high voltage equipment. These methods, along with design and selection of components, have resulted in a unique diagnostics system. In regards to size and weight, as well as to accuracy and depth of analysis, the IDA 200 is denitely in a class of its own. With the IDA 200, it is possible to diagnose insulation material in most objects in a substation (e.g., power transformers, measuring transformers, bushings, paper-insulated cables, etc.). The diagnostic measurements are made by applying a relatively low voltage up to 140 V. The IDA 200 measures the capacitance and dielectric losses (tan , PF) at discrete frequencies, both above and below mains frequency. By avoiding the mains frequency and its harmonics, the inuence of disturbances can be effectively ltered. By measuring at several frequencies, and obtaining a curve instead of a point, precise compensation can be made for the temperature differences that can occur at several different measurement occasions. This means that temperature independence is achieved with this method.

104

Application
IDA 200 is designed for diagnostic measurements of electrical insulation. Examples of application areas: Power and instrument transformers, bushings and paper insulated cables. Electrical insulation come in all three states of matter: solid (such as cellulosic paper and porcelain), liquid (such as mineral oil), and gas. Insulation systems that include solid and/or liquid insulation are candidates for diagnostic measurements. IDA 200 is not suited for pure gas insulated systems. Electrical insulation systems as found in the objects listed above usually consist of a combination of different materials. In the following, we will illustrate how IDA 200 can be used to determine the condition in some of the most commonly used insulation systems.

Diagnosis of insulation in power transformers


The insulation system of most power transformers consists of oil and cellulose (paper). The dielectric properties of both of these materials changes over the transformers life span. When measured at mains frequency alone, the property changes in the different materials cannot be differentiated. An analysis of the measured dissipation factors frequency properties provides a more complete diagnosis of the examined insulation. The graph below shows the results of measurements made with the IDA 200 on the insulation between primary and secondary to tertiary windings on an auto power transformer. At higher frequencies, the transformers pressboard and oil volume determine the dielectric loss; at medium frequencies, the oil conductivity is the dominant factor; and in the lower frequency range, is dominated by the transformer pressboards dielectric loss. Based on analysis of the measurement results with the IDA 200 MODS software, a moisture content of 11.5% was deduced. Normally, moisture content above 3.54% entails transformer replacement to avoid insulation breakdown. Operating a transformer close to or higher than its rated output can be necessary under certain circumstances. This entails risks, but when the moisture content of the paper is known to be low, temporary overloads can be handled without the risk of insulation breakdown.

Application examples
Dielectric properties of mineral oils
Transformer oil is a non-polar liquid with a capacitance that changes very little with frequency. But oil also has a DC conductivity that varies with the oils quality and temperature. The measured dissipation factor for the oil is inversely proportional to the frequency, which results in a very simple curve form.

Dielectric properties of cellulosic paper


Oil-impregnated cellulose, e.g., transformer pressboard and the Kraft paper used in paper-insulated cables, has a more complex structure and is characterized by frequency dependence in both capacitance and losses. Since aging produces moisture, the moisture content of cellulose is used as an indicator of age.

MODS A tool for analysing measurement results


Included in the IDA 200 system is an analysis program, MODS, for determining the moisture content in transformer pressboard. Using the measurement results from the IDA 200 and the temperature of the insulation during measurement, the responses from the oil and pressboard can be differentiated, and a good estimation of the pressboards condition obtained.

Diagnosis of cellulose-insulated power cables


Since moisture produces a characteristic change to the cellulose's response, the IDA 200 is very suitable for accessing the average moisture content in paper-insulated power cables (PILC cables).

The gure shows a typical response of oil with low conductivity (good oil) and another oil with higher conductivity (bad oil), both at same temperature.

Here is an example of how moisture affects the dissipation factor of Kraft paper at 20 C.

Technical description
The system measures the impedance of a specimen at a variable voltage and frequency. A Digital Signal Processing (DSP) unit generates a test signal with the desired frequency. This signal is amplied with an internal amplier and then applied to the specimen. The voltage over and the current through the specimen are measured with high accuracy using a voltage divider and an electrometer (Ampere meter).

Optional accessories
IDA 200 HVU
The High Voltage Unit (HVU) is used with the IDA 200 system to increase the output voltage up to 30 kV (21 kVRMS). The main application for this combination is for diagnosis of water tree deteriorated XLPE-cables. The system works equally well when other types of non linear materials are to be characterized.

Schematic block diagram of the IDA 200-system.

For the measuring input, IDA 200 uses the DSP unit that multiplies the input (measurement) signals with reference sine voltages, and then integrates the results over a number of cycles. With this method, noise and interference is almost completely rejected - allowing IDA 200 to work with low voltage levels and still achieve high accuracy.
