Chapter 3 Protection Description
3.1 General Description
Main program accepts sampling interruption request, and then enters sampling program with
regular sampling period. The program flow will go to the regular program if no protective fault
detector element (PFD) operates, otherwise it will go to fault calculation program.
During the regular program flow, corresponding alarm will be issued to indicate there are some
errors in the protective device. if any failure is detected during the check. There are two kinds of
alarms: abnormal alarm and failure blocking alarm. In case of abnormal alarm, the protective
device could be still in service but the operator is warned to solve the problem. In case of failure
blocking alarm, the protective device will be blocked and the all protection functions will be
disabled.
Once any of protective fault detector elements operates, the program flow will go to the fault
calculation program. During the fault calculation program, various protection algorithms are
calculated, and then corresponding tripping logic is selected and sends tripping command. Finally,
event recorders, fault reports and fault waveform are formatted.
3.2 General Fault Detector element (GFD)
Main part of GFD is steady-state overcurrent fault detector element that reflects differential current
of 3-terminal and phase overcurrent fault detector element that reflects total current on both sides

The GFD comprise of the following elements:
n Differential current fault detector element
n Phase overcurrent fault detector element
If any of the above fault detector elements operates, the GFD will operate to provide DC power
supply to the output relays to switch on the output circuit.

Chapter 4 Automatic Supervision
Chapter 4 Automatic Supervision
4.1 General Description
Though the protection system is in non-operating state under normal conditions, it is waiting for a
power system fault to occur at any time and must operate for the fault without fail. When
equipment is in energizing process before the LED “HEALTHY” is on, the equipment need to be
checked to ensure no errors. Therefore, the automatic supervision function, which checks the
health of the protection system when startup and during normal operation, plays an important role.
The numerical relay based on the microprocessor operations is suitable for implementing this
automatic supervision function of the protection system.
In case a fault is detected during initialization when DC power supply is provided to the equipment,
the equipment will be blocked out, which means relay is out of service. Therefore you must
re-energize the relays or reset CPU module by restarting equipment to make relay back into
service.
When a failure is detected by the automatic supervision, it is followed with an LCD message, LED
indication and alarm contact outputs. At the same time event recording will record the failure alarm
which can be viewed in event recording report and be printed.
4.2 Relay Self-supervision
4.2.1 Relay hardware monitoring
The DSP, RAM, ROM chips on CPU module are monitored to ensure whether they are damaged
or have errors. If any one of them is detected damaged or having error, equipment will be blocked
and issue alarm [Alm_RAM] and [Alm_ROM].
4.2.2 DC Supply monitoring
The secondary voltage level of the built-in DC/DC converter is monitored and checked whether the
DC voltage is within a prescribed range.
If a failure is detected in the DC power supply circuit, [Alm_Pwr_DC] alarm will be issued and the
relay will be blocked.
4.2.3 Fault detection monitoring
When any general fault detector picks up for longer than 10s, an alarm will be issued
[Alm_PersistFD] without equipment blocked.
4.2.4 Check Output tripping circuit
Chips controlling the output relays in the output circuit are continually monitored. If any error or
damage is detected in these chips, alarm [Alm_TripOut] will be given and the relay will be blocked.
4.2.5 Check setting
RCS-924 series has 30 setting groups, while only one is active at the same time. The settings of
active setting group are checked to ensure they are reasonable. If the settings are checked to be
NANJING NARI-RELAYS ELECTRIC CO., LTD 19
Chapter 4 Automatic Supervision
invalid, an alarm [Alm_Setting] will be issued. Equipment is blocked. At the same time. if there is
any summation error of all setting groups, an alarm [Alm_EEPROM] will be issued, equipment is
also blocked.
If these 30 setting groups are not all set, when the equipment is provided DC power supply first, an
alarm [Alm_InvalidGrp] will be issued. If the secondary rated current of CT (I2n) in equipment
settings is changed and the protection settings is not confirmed or some settings in protection
settings exceed setting range, an alarm [Alm_InvalidGrp] will be issued.
4.3 AC Input Monitoring
4.3.1 Voltage and current drift monitoring and auto adjusting
Zero point of voltage and current may drift influenced by variation of temperature or other
environment factors. The equipment continually automatically traces the drift and adjusts it to
normal value.
4.3.2 DSP sampling monitoring
AC sampling of DSP chip is monitored and if the samples are detected to be wrong, an alarm
[Alm_Smpl_DSP] will be issued and the relay will be blocked.
4.3.3 CPU sampling monitoring
The relay compares the CPU sampling and DSP sampling. In normal condition, the sampling
should be the same for a certain AC input. If a sampling in CPU is detected to be different largely
with that in DSP, an alarm [Alm_Smpl_CPU] will be issued and the relay will be blocked.
4.4 Secondary Circuit Monitoring
4.4.1 Opto-coupler power monitoring
Positive power supply of opto-coupler is continually monitored. If an error or damage has occurred,
an alarm [Alm_Pwr_Opto] will be issued.
4.4.2 Disconnector monitoring
If line disconnector is open, i.e. normally closed auxiliary contact is closed, and there is current
flowing through the line, an alarm [Alm_BI_DS] will be issued after 10 seconds.
4.4.3 CT circuit failure detection
The main purpose of the current transformer (CT) circuit failure supervision function is to detect
faults in the secondary circuits of CT and avoid influence on the operation of corresponding
protection functions.
CTS with time delay is executed in the sampling program. If the operating time of differential
current fault detector element is longer than 10 seconds, an alarm [Alm_CTS] will be issued after
time delay. CTS with time delay can also finish self-checking for sampling circuit.
CTS without time delay is executed in the fault measurement program, CTS without time delay will
be disabled if any of the following conditions is met.
1. Maximum phase current is less than 0.2In before fault detector element operates.
20 NANJING NARI-RELAYS ELECTRIC CO., LTD
Chapter 4 Automatic Supervision
2. Maximum phase current is greater than 1.2In after fault detector element operates.
3. Phase current after fault detector element operating comparing with that before fault detector
element operating increases more than 0.1In.
When the following conditions for any side are both met, an alarm [Alm_CTS] will be issued
immediately.
1. Any phase current is less than 0.1In.
2. The other two phase currents after fault detector element operating are equal to those before
fault detector element operating(the difference is smaller than 0.1In).

5.2.3.3 Fault waveform record capacity and information
The equipment can save 24 pieces of fault waveform oscillogram. If a new fault occurs when 24
fault waveform records have been stored, the latest waveform record overwrites the oldest one.
The equipment stores actual samples that are taken at a rate of 24 samples per cycle.
The recording time before fault detection initiation is fixed at 2 cycles (40 ms at 50Hz). The
recording time after fault detector initiation is fixed at 6 cycles (120 ms at 50Hz) without protection
operation or with protection operation within 6 cycles. If any protection element operates after 6
cycles, then the recording time will be prolonged to another 8 cycles (160ms at 50Hz) in order to
show continuous 8 cycle waveform after the protection element operates.

Setting principle: take primary rated value of any CT as reference value, and set its correction
coefficient as “1”. The other two correction coefficients of CTs are ratio between its primary rated
value and reference value. In order to ensure accuracy, the difference of ratio among these
primary rated value should not be greater than 4. System capacity of short circuit should be
greater than 0.2IN and less than 125IN after reducting to secondary of reference CT.

These documents can be obtained from the IEC (http://www.iec.ch). It is strongly recommended
that all those involved with any IEC 61850 implementation obtain this document set.
9.3.2 Communication profiles
The RCS-900 series relay supports IEC 61850 server services over TCP/IP communication
protocol stacks. The TCP/IP profile requires the RCS-900 series to have an IP address to
establish communications. These addresses are located in the submenu “SETTINGS-IP
ADDRESS”. Please refer to 7.5 for further details.
1. MMS protocol
IEC 61850 specifies the use of the Manufacturing Message Specification (MMS) at the upper
(application) layer for transfer of real-time data. This protocol has been in existence for a number
of years and provides a set of services suitable for the transfer of data within a substation LAN
environment. Actual MMS protocol services are mapped to IEC 61850 abstract services in
IEC61850-8-1.
2. Client/server
This is a connection-oriented type of communication. The connection is initiated by the client, and
communication activity is controlled by the client. IEC61850 clients are often substation computers
running HMI programs or SOE logging software. Servers are usually substation equipment such
as protection relays, meters, RTUs, transformer, tap changers, or bay controllers.
3. Peer-to-peer
This is a non-connection-oriented, high speed type of communication usually between substation
equipment, such as protection relays. GOOSE is the method of peer-to-peer communication.
4. Substation configuration language (SCL)
A substation configuration language is a number of files used to describe the configuration of
substation equipment. Each configured device has an IEC Capability Description (ICD) file and a
Configured IED Description (CID) file. The substation single line information is stored in a System
Specification Description (SSD) file. The entire substation configuration is stored in a Substation
Configuration Description (SCD) file. The SCD file is the combination of the individual ICD files
and the SSD file.
9.3.3 Server data organization
IEC61850 defines an object-oriented approach to data and services. An IEC61850 physical device
can contain one or more logical device(s) (for proxy). Each logical device can contain many logical
nodes. Each logical node can contain many data objects. Each data object is composed of data
attributes and data attribute components. Services are available at each level for performing
various functions, such as reading, writing, control commands, and reporting.
NANJING NARI-RELAYS ELECTRIC CO., LTD 69
Chapter 9 Communications
Each IED represents one IEC61850 physical device. The physical device contains one logical
device, and the logical device contains many logical nodes. The logical node LPHD contains
information about the IED physical device. The logical node LLN0 contains information about the
IED logical device.
9.3.3.1 Digital status values
The GGIO logical node is available in the RCS-900 series relays to provide access to digital status
points (including general I/O inputs and warnings) and associated timestamps and quality flags.
The data content must be configured before the data can be used. GGIO provides digital status
points for access by clients. It is intended that clients use GGIO in order to access digital status
values from the RCS-900 series relays. Clients can utilize the IEC61850 buffered reporting
features available from GGIO in order to build sequence of events (SOE) logs and HMI display
screens. Buffered reporting should generally be used for SOE logs since the buffering capability
reduces the chances of missing data state changes. All needed status data objects are transmitted
to HMI clients via buffered reporting, and the corresponding buffered reporting control block
(BRCB) is defined in LLN0.
9.3.3.2 Analog values
Most of analog measured values are available through the MMXU logical nodes, and metering
values in MMTR, the else in MMXN, MSQI and so on. Each MMXU logical node provides data
from a IED current/voltage “source”. There is one MMXU available for each configurable source.
MMXU1 provides data from CT/VT source 1(usually for protection purpose), and MMXU2 provides
data from CT/VT source 2 (usually for monitor and display purpose). All these analog data objects
are transmitted to HMI clients via unbuffered reporting periodically, and the corresponding
unbuffered reporting control block (URCB) is defined in LLN0. MMXUx logical nodes provide the
following data for each source:
n MMXU.ST.Hz: frequency
n MMXU.ST.PPV.phsAB: phase AB voltage magnitude and angle
n MMXU.ST.PPV.phsBC: phase BC voltage magnitude and angle
n MMXU.ST.PPV.phsCA: Phase CA voltage magnitude and angle
n MMXU.ST.PhV.phsA: phase AG voltage magnitude and angle
n MMXU.ST.PhV.phsB: phase BG voltage magnitude and angle
n MMXU.ST.PhV.phsC: phase CG voltage magnitude and angle
n MMXU.ST.A.phsA: phase A current magnitude and angle
n MMXU.ST.A.phsB: phase B current magnitude and angle
n MMXU.ST.A.phsC: phase C current magnitude and angle
9.3.3.3 Protection logical nodes
The following list describes the protection elements for all RCS-900 series relays. The specified

The protection elements listed above contain start (pickup) and operate flags, instead of any
element has its own start (pickup) flag separately, all the elements share a common start (pickup)
flags “PTRC.ST.Str.general”. The operate flag for PTOC1 is “PTOC1.ST.Op.general”. For the
RCS-900 series relay protection elements, these flags take their values from related module for
the corresponding element. Similar to digital status values, the protection trip information is
reported via BRCB, and it also locates in LLN0.
9.3.3.4 LLN0 and other logical nodes
Logical node LLN0 is essential for an IEC61850 based IED. This LN shall be used to address
common issues for Logical Devices. Most of the public services, the common settings, control
values and some device oriented data objects are available here. The public services may be
BRCB, URCB and GSE control blocks and similar global defines for the whole device; the
common settings include all the setting items of communication settings. System settings and
some of the protection setting items, which can be configured to two or more protection elements
(logical nodes). In LLN0, the item Loc is a device control object, this Do item indicates the local
operation for complete logical device, when it is true, all the remote control commands to the IED
will be blocked and those commands make effective until the item Loc is changed to false. In
RCS-900 series relays, besides the logical nodes we describe above, there are some other logical
nodes below in the IEDs:
n LPHD: Physical device information, the logical node to model common issues for physical
device.
n PTRC: Protection trip conditioning, it shall be used to connect the “operate” outputs of one or
more protection functions to a common “trip” to be transmitted to XCBR. In addition or
alternatively, any combination of “operate” outputs of protection functions may be combined to
a new “operate” of PTRC.
n RDRE: Disturbance recorder function. It triggers the fault wave recorder and its output refers
to the “IEEE Standard Format for Transient Data Exchange (COMTRADE) for Power System”
(IEC 60255-24). All enabled channels are included in the recording, independently of the
trigger mode.

9.3.4 Server features and configuration
9.3.4.1 Buffered/unbuffered reporting
IEC61850 buffered and unbuffered reporting control blocks locate in LLN0, they can be configured
to transmit information of protection trip information (in the Protection logical nodes), binary status
values (in GGIO) and analog measured/calculated values (in MMXU, MMTR and MSQI). The
reporting control blocks can be configured in CID files, and then be sent to the IED via an
IEC61850 client. The following items can be configured.
n TrgOps: Trigger options. The following bits are supported by the RCS-900 series
relays:
－ Bit 1: Data-change
－ Bit 4: Integrity
－ Bit 5: General interrogation
n OptFlds: Option Fields. The following bits are supported by the RCS-900 series relays:
－ Bit 1: Sequence-number
－ Bit 2: Report-time-stamp
－ Bit 3: Reason-for-inclusion
－ Bit 4: Data-set-name
－ Bit 5: Data-reference
－ Bit 6: Buffer-overflow (for buffered reports only)
－ Bit 7: EntryID (for buffered reports only)
－ Bit 8: Conf-revision
－ Bit 9: Segmentation
n IntgPd: Integrity period.
n BufTm: Buffer time.
9.3.4.2 File transfer
MMS file services are supported to allow transfer of oscillography, event record or other files from
a RCS-900 series relay.
9.3.4.3 Timestamps
The timestamp values associated with all IEC61850 data items represent the time of the last
change of either the value or quality flags of the data item.
9.3.4.4 Logical node name prefixes
IEC61850 specifies that each logical node can have a name with a total length of 11 characters.
72 NANJING NARI-RELAYS ELECTRIC CO., LTD
Chapter 9 Communications
The name is composed of:
n A five or six-character name prefix.
n A four-character standard name (for example, MMXU, GGIO, PIOC, etc.).
n A one or two-character instantiation index.
Complete names are of the form xxxxxxPTOC1, where the xxxxxx character string is configurable.
Details regarding the logical node naming rules are given in IEC61850 parts 6 and 7-2. It is
recommended that a consistent naming convention be used for an entire substation project.
9.3.4.5 GOOSE services
IEC61850 specifies the type of peer-to-peer data transfer services: Generic Object Oriented
Substation Events (GOOSE). IEC61850 GOOSE services provide virtual LAN (VLAN) support,
Ethernet priority tagging, and Ether-type Application ID configuration. The support for VLANs and
priority tagging allows for the optimization of Ethernet network traffic. GOOSE messages can be
given a higher priority than standard Ethernet traffic, and they can be separated onto specific
VLANs. Devices that transmit GOOSE messages also Devices that transmit GOOSE messages
also function as servers. Each GOOSE publisher contains a “GOOSE control block” to configure
and control the transmission.
The transmission is also controlled via device setting “GOOSE Group ID” in the setting submenu
“EQUIP SETUP”. The “GOOSE Group ID” setting item defines a definite IED group in which the
IED can communicate with each other via GOOSE protocol, and if GOOSE Group ID is configured
to “0”, GOOSE service is blocked in this IED. IEC61850 recommends a default priority value of 4
for GOOSE. Ethernet traffic that does not contain a priority tag has a default priority of 1. More
details are specified in IEC61850 part 8-1. IEC61850 recommends that the Ether-type Application
ID number be configured according to the GOOSE source.
The RCS-924 series relays support IEC61850 Generic Object Oriented Substation Event
(GOOSE) communication. All GOOSE messages contain IEC61850 data collected into a dataset.
It is this dataset that is transferred using GOOSE message services. The GOOSE related dataset
is configured in the CID file and it is recommended that the fixed GOOSE be used for
implementations that require GOOSE data transfer between RCS-900 series relays.
IEC61850 GOOSE messaging contains a number of configurable parameters, all of which must be
correct to achieve the successful transfer of data. It is critical that the configured datasets at the
transmission and reception devices are an exact match in terms of data structure, and that the
GOOSE addresses and name strings match exactly.
The general steps required for transmission configuration are:
1. Configure the transmission dataset.
2. Configure the GOOSE service settings.
3. Configure the data.
The general steps required for reception configuration are:

careful during certain operations in order to avoid human injuries or damage to equipment.
NANJING NARI-RELAYS ELECTRIC CO., LTD 83
Chapter 10 Installation And Commissioning
1. Warning signs
Warning!
n Strictly follow the company and country safety regulations. Working in a high voltage
environment requires serious approach to avoid human injuries and damage to
equipment.
n Do not touch circuitry during operation. Potentially lethal voltages and currents are
present.
n Always avoid to touch the circuitry when the cover is removed. The product contains
electronic circuitries which can be damaged if exposed to static electricity (ESD). The
electronic circuitries also contain high voltage which is lethal to humans.
n Always use suitable isolated test pins when measuring signals in open circuitry.
Potentially lethal voltages and currents are present.
n Never connect or disconnect a wire and/or a connector to or from a protection equipment
during normal operation. Hazardous voltages and currents are present that may be lethal.
Operation may be disrupted and protection equipment and measuring circuitry may be
damaged.
n Always connect the protection equipment to protective ground, regardless of the
operating conditions. This also applies to special occasions such as bench testing,
demonstrations and off-site configuration. Operating the protection equipment without
proper grounding may damage both terminal and measuring circuitry, and may cause
injuries in case of an accident.
n Never disconnect a secondary connection of current transformer circuit without
short-circuiting the transformer’s secondary winding. Operating a current transformer
with the secondary winding open will cause a massive potential build-up that may
damage the transformer and may cause injuries to humans.
n Never unmount the front or back cover from a powered equipment or from a protection
equipment connected to powered circuitry. Potentially lethal voltages and currents are
present.
2. Caution signs
Caution!
n Always transport modules using certified conductive bags. Always handle modules using
a conductive wrist strap connected to protective ground and on a suitable antistatic
surface. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) may cause damage to the module.
n Do not connect live wires to the protection equipment. Internal circuitry may be damaged.
n Always use a conductive wrist strap connected to protective ground when replacing
84 NANJING NARI-RELAYS ELECTRIC CO., LTD
Chapter 10 Installation And Commissioning
modules. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) may damage the module and protection
equipment circuitry.
n Take care to avoid electrical shock if accessing wiring and connection protection
equipment when installing and commissioning.
3. Note signs
Note!
n Changing the active setting group will inevitably change the protection equipment’s
operation. Be careful and check regulations before making the change.
n The protection assembly is designed for a maximum continuous current of four times
rated value.
n Activating the other setting group without proper configuration may seriously affect the
protection equipment’s operation.
10.3 Overview
The settings for each function must be calculated before the commissioning task can start. A
configuration, made in the configuration and programming tool, must also be available if the
protection equipment does not have a factory configuration downloaded.
The protection equipment is unpacked and visually checked. It is preferably mounted in a cubicle.
The connection to the protection system has to be checked in order to verify that the installation
was successful.
The installation and commissioning task starts with configuring the digital communication modules,
if included. The protection equipment can then be configured and set, which means that settings
and a configuration has to be applied if the protection equipment does not have a factory
configuration downloaded. Then the operation of each included function according to applied
settings has to be verified by secondary injection. A complete check of the configuration can then
be made. A conformity test of the secondary system has also to be done. When the primary
system has been energized a directionality check should be made.
10.4 Unpacking And Checking The Protection Equipment
Procedure
1) Remove the transport casing.
2) Visually inspect the protection equipment.
n Carefully examine the protection panel, protection equipment inside and other parts
inside to see that no physical damage has occurred since installation.
n The rating information should be given for the protection equipment.
n The rating information of other auxiliary protections should be checked to ensure it is
correct for the particular installation.

steel sheet.
Switch, keypad, isolator links and push button:
Check whether all the switches, equipment keypad, isolator links and push buttons work normally
and smoothly.
3) Check that all items are included in accordance with the delivery documents.
The user is requested to check that all software functions are included according to the delivery
documents after the terminal has been energized.
4) Check for transport damages.
These product checks cover all aspects of the protection, which should be checked to ensure that
the protection not only has not been physically damaged prior to commissioning but also functions
correctly and all input quantity measurements are within the stated tolerances.
10.5 Installing The Protection Equipment
10.5.1 Overview
The mechanical and electrical environmental conditions at the installation site must be within
permissible range according to the technical data of the protection equipment. Dusty, damp places,
places liable to rapid temperature variations, powerful vibrations and shocks, surge voltages of
high amplitude and fast rise time, strong induced magnetic fields or similar extreme conditions
should be avoided. Please refer to Chapter 2 for details.
Sufficient space must be available in front of and at rear of the protection panel to allow access for
maintenance and future modifications. Flush mounted protection equipment should be mounted
so that equipment modules can be added and replaced without excessive demounting.
10.5.2 Dimensions
The equipment adopts IEC standard chassis and is rack with modular structure. It uses an integral
faceplate and plug terminal block on backboard for external connections. RCS-924 is IEC 4U high

10.5.3 Making the electrical connections
Always make sure established guidelines for this type of terminal is followed during installation.
When necessary use screened twisted-pair cables to minimize susceptibility. Otherwise, use any
kind of regular nonscreened tinned RK cable or equivalent.
When using screened cabling always use 360° full screen cable bushing to ensure screen
coupling. Ensure that all signals of the single circuit are in the same single cable. Avoid mixing
current and voltage measuring signals in the same cable. Also use separate cables for control and
measuring circuits.
1) Connecting the CT circuits:
Heavy-duty terminal block, M4 threaded terminal ends for wire cross sections from 1.5 to 2.5 mm 2.
2) Connecting the auxiliary power:
NANJING NARI-RELAYS ELECTRIC CO., LTD 87
Chapter 10 Installation And Commissioning
Auxiliary power cords cross with cross sections from 1.5 to 2.5 mm 2 can be directly screw fixed on
the rear panel of DC board. Refer to 6.3.1
3) Input/output signal connectors:
Welding terminals for wire cross sections from 1.5 to 2.5 mm 2. Those devices are supplied with
sufficient M4 screws for making connections to the rear mounted terminal blocks using ring
terminals, with a recommended maximum of two ring terminals per relay terminal.
To meet the insulation requirements of the terminal block, for the sake of safety, an insulating
sleeve should be fitted over the ring terminal after crimping.
The wire used for all connections to the welding terminal blocks and heavy duty terminal blocks,
except the EIA(RS)485 port, should have a minimum voltage rating of 300Vrms.
It is recommended that the auxiliary power circuit wiring should be protected by using a 16A high
rupture capacity (HRC) fuse of type NIT or TIA. For safety reasons, current transformer circuits
must never be open.
4) Connecting to protective ground:
Connect the unit to the grounding bar of the cubicle with green/yellow conductor; cross section at
least 4.0 mm 2, connected to the protective Earthing terminal at the back of the DC board. Refer to
6.3.1. Attend that the earth wire must be as short as possible. All cautions have to be taken to
ensure the best electrical conductivity, particularly the contact quality, stainless conductor. The
impedance between the relay Earthing terminal and the Earth must be less than 20mΩ under
12Volt, 50Hz. What matters is that the device has to be only grounded at one point. Loop
grounding from unit to unit is not allowed.
5) Installing the optic fibres
Connectors are generally color coded; connect blue or dark grey cable connectors to blue or dark
grey (receive) back-side connectors. Connect black or grey cable connectors to black or grey
(transmit) back-side connectors.
Fiber optical cables are sensitive to handling. Do not bend too sharply. The minimum curvature
radius is 15 cm for plastic fibers and 25 cm for glass fibers. If cable straps are used, apply with
loose fit.
Note!
Always hold the connector, never the cable, when connecting or disconnecting optical
fibres. Do not twist, pull or bend the fibre. Invisible damage may increase fibre damping
thus making communication impossible.
6) Installing the RS-485 serial port communication cables:
When using galvanic connection between protective relay and communication equipment or
point-to-point galvanic connection between two protective relays it is essential that the cable
installation is carefully done. This is true regardless of type of module used, only the possible
88 NANJING NARI-RELAYS ELECTRIC CO., LTD
Chapter 10 Installation And Commissioning
length of the cable differs. The factors that must be taken into account is the susceptibility for noise
disturbance, due to that the levels of the communication signal are very low. For a best result, a
cable with twisted pairs with screen should be used.
RS485 serial communication interface, a termination 120-ohm resistor has to be connected at
each extremity of the bus. Refer to Chapter 9.
10.6 Check The External Circuitry
The user must check the installation, which includes verifying that the relay is connected to the
other parts of the protection system. This is done with the relay and all connected circuits
de-energized.
1) Checking the CT circuits
Check that the wiring is in strict accordance with the supplied wiring diagram.
Test the circuitry. The following tests are recommended:
n Polarity check
n CT circuit current measurement (primary injection test)
n Grounding check
The polarity check verifies the integrity of the circuits and the phase relationship. The check should
be performed as close as possible to the relay. The primary injection test verifies the CT ration and
the wiring all the way through from the primary system to the relay. Injection must be performed for
each phase-to-neutral circuit and each phase-to-phase pair. In each case currents in all phases
and the neutral line are measured.
2) Checking the power supply
Check that the value of the auxiliary supply voltage remains with the permissible range under all
operating conditions. Check that the polarity is correct according to the instruction manual on the
rear plate of DC board. Refer to 6.3.1.
3) Checking binary input circuits
Preferably, disconnect the binary input connector form the binary input cards. Check all connected
signals so that both input level and polarity are in accordance with the relay’s specifications.
Note!
The binary inputs may be energized from an external dc auxiliary supply (e.g. the station
battery) in some installations. Check that this is not the case before connecting the field
voltage otherwise damage to the protection may result. The status of each binary input can
be viewed using either RCSPC software installed in a portable PC or by checking the front
man-machine interface LCD. When each binary input is energized the display will change
to indicate the new state of the inputs.
4) Checking binary output circuits
NANJING NARI-RELAYS ELECTRIC CO., LTD 89
Chapter 10 Installation And Commissioning
Preferably, disconnect the binary output connector form the binary output cards. Check all
connected signals so that both load and polarity are in accordance with the relay’s specifications.
10.7 Energizing the Protection Equipment
Before the procedures in this section can be carried out the connection to external circuitry must
have been checked which ensures that the installation was made correctly.
The user must energies the power supply to the relay to start it up. This could be done in a
numerous of ways, from energizing a whole cubicle to energizing a single relay. The user should
reconfigurate the relay settings. The relay time must be set. The self-supervision function should
also be checked to verify that the relay unit operates properly. The user could also check the
software version, the relay’s serial number, the installed modules, and their ordering number to
ensure that the relay is according to delivery and ordering specifications.
1) Setting the relay time
Refer to 8.4.5 for detailed procedures.
2) Checking the self-supervision function
Refer to Chapter 4 for detailed description.
10.8 Setting The Protection Equipment
The customer specific values for each setting parameter have to be available. Each function
included in the relay has several setting parameters which has to be set in order to make the relay
behave as intended. A default value is provided for each parameter from factory.
All settings can be:
n Download from a PC or laptop with RCSPC software or remotely by SCADA. (Refer to 12.4.2).
Front port communication has to be established before the settings can be downloaded.
n Input manually through the local HMI (refer to 8.2.5)
To change settings through the local HMI need a password which is “+”, “◄”, “▲” and “-” keyboard
on the front panel.
Unless previously agreed to the contrary, the customer will be responsible for determining the
application-specific settings to be applied to the protection and for testing of any scheme logic
applied by external wiring and/or configuration of the protection’s internal programmable scheme
logic.
10.9 Establishing Connection And Verifying Communication
This test should only be performed where the protection is to be accessed from a remote location
and will vary depending on the communications standard being adopted.
It is not the intention of the test to verify the operation of the complete system from the relay to the
remote location, just the protection’s rear communications port and any protocol converter
necessary.
90 NANJING NARI-RELAYS ELECTRIC CO., LTD
Chapter 10 Installation And Commissioning
10.10 Verifying settings by secondary injection
Required tools for testing of a relay:
n Calculated settings
n Substation configuration diagram
n The relay diagram
n This instruction manual
n Three-phase test equipment
The relay has to be set before the testing can start. Only the functions that are used should be
tested.
The response from a test can be viewed in different ways:
n Binary output signals
n Service values in the local HMI
n A PC with RCSPC software or SCADA or master station
All used setting groups should be tested. The user can release the functions to be tested and
prevent other functions from operation by setting the corresponding parameters. The user could
also energize the binary input [BI_BlkComm] to disable communication function to ensure that no
events are reported to remote station during the test.
The setting checks ensure that all of the application-specific protection settings (i.e. both the
protection’s function and programmable scheme logic settings), for the particular installation, have
been correctly applied to the protection.
10.10.1 AC measurement check
1. Current measurement check
This test verifies that the accuracy of current measurement is within the acceptable tolerances.
Checking its magnitude using a multimeter. The corresponding reading can then be checked
either in the protection’s submenu [DSP METERING] column or a portable computer connected to
the front communication port with software RCSPC.
The measurement accuracy of the protection is ± 5%. However, an additional allowance must be
made for the accuracy of the test equipment being used.
Note!
The trip circuit should remain isolated during these checks to prevent accidental operation
of the associated circuit breaker.
The applied current and/or voltage should be big enough to ensure that both general fault
detector and protective fault detector can operate.

Chapter 11 Maintenance
NARI-RELAYS numerical relay RCS-924 is designed to require no special maintenance. All
measurement and signal processing circuit are fully solid state. All input modules are also fully
solid state. The output relays are hermetically sealed.
Since the device is almost completely self-monitored, from the measuring inputs to the output
relays, hardware and software defects are automatically detected and reported. The
self-monitoring ensures the high availability of the device and generally allows for a corrective
rather than preventive maintenance strategy. Therefore, maintenance checks in short intervals are
not required.
Operation of the device is automatically blocked when a hardware failure is detected. If a problem
is detected in the external measuring circuits, the device normally only provides alarm messages.
11.1 Appearance Check
1. The relay case should be clean without any dust stratification. Case cover should be sealed
well. No component has any mechanical damage and distortion, and they should be firmly
fixed in the case. Relay terminals should be in good condition. The keys on the front panel
with very good feeling can be operated flexibly.
2. It is only allowed to plug or withdraw relay board when the supply is reliably switched off.
Never allow the CT secondary circuit connected to this equipment to be opened while the
primary system is live when withdrawing an AC module. Never try to insert or withdraw the
relay board when it is unnecessary.
3. Check weld spots on PCB whether they are well soldered without any rosin joint. All dual
inline components must be well plugged.
11.2 Failure Tracing And Repair
Failures will be detected by automatic supervision or regular testing.
When a failure is detected by supervision, a remote alarm is issued and the failure is indicated on
the front panel with LED indicators and LCD display. It is also recorded in the event record.
Failures detected by supervision are traced by checking the “ALM REPORT” screen on the LCD.
