Section 2 REF615 overview

2.1 Overview

REF615 is a dedicated feeder IED (intelligent electronic device) designed for theprotection, control, measurement and supervision of utility substations andindustrial power systems including radial, looped and meshed distribution networkswith or without distributed power generation. REF615 is a member of ABB’sRelion® product family and part of its 615 protection and control product series.The 615 series IEDs are characterized by their compactness and withdrawable-unitdesign.

Re-engineered from the ground up, the 615 series has been designed to unleash thefull potential of the IEC 61850 standard for communication and interoperabilitybetween substation automation devices.

The IED provides main protection for overhead lines and cable feeders indistribution networks. The IED is also used as back-up protection in applications,where an independent and redundant protection system is required.

Depending on the chosen standard configuration, the IED is adapted for theprotection of overhead line and cable feeders in isolated neutral, resistance earthed,compensated and solidly earthed networks. Once the standard configuration IEDhas been given the application-specific settings, it can directly be put into service.

The 615 series IEDs support a range of communication protocols including IEC61850 with GOOSE messaging, IEC 60870-5-103, Modbus® and DNP3.

2.7 Communication

The IED supports a range of communication protocols including IEC 61850, IEC60870-5-103, Modbus® and DNP3. Operational information and controls areavailable through these protocols. However, some communication functionality,for example, horizontal communication between the IEDs, is only enabled by theIEC 61850 communication protocol.

The IEC 61850 communication implementation supports all monitoring andcontrol functions. Additionally, parameter settings, disturbance recordings andfault records can be accessed using the IEC 61850 protocol. Disturbance recordingsare available to any Ethernet-based application in the standard COMTRADE fileformat. The IED can send and receive binary signals from other IEDs (so calledhorizontal communication) using the IEC61850-8-1 GOOSE profile, where thehighest performance class with a total transmission time of 3 ms is supported.Further, the IED supports sending and receiving of analog values using GOOSEmessaging. The IED meets the GOOSE performance requirements for trippingapplications in distribution substations, as defined by the IEC 61850 standard. TheIED can simultaneously report events to five different clients on the station bus.

The IED can support five simultaneous clients. If PCM600 reserves one clientconnection, only four client connections are left, for example, for IEC 61850 andModbus.

3.3 Presentation of standard configurations

Functional diagramsThe functional diagrams describe the IED's functionality from the protection,measuring, condition monitoring, disturbance recording, control and interlockingperspective. Diagrams show the default functionality with simple symbol logicsforming principle diagrams. The external connections to primary devices are alsoshown, stating the default connections to measuring transformers. The positivemeasuring direction of directional protection functions is towards the outgoing feeder.

The functional diagrams are divided into sections with each section constitutingone functional entity. The external connections are also divided into sections. Onlythe relevant connections for a particular functional entity are presented in eachsection.

Protection function blocks are part of the functional diagram. They are identifiedbased on their IEC 61850 name but the IEC based symbol and the ANSI functionnumber are also included. Some function blocks, such as PHHPTOC, are usedseveral times in the configuration. To separate the blocks from each other, the IEC61850 name, IEC symbol and ANSI function number are appended with a runningnumber, that is an instance number, from one upwards. If the block has no suffixafter the IEC or ANSI symbol, the function block has been used, that is,instantiated, only once. The IED’s internal functionality and the externalconnections are separated with a dashed line presenting the IED’s physical casing.

Signal Matrix and Application ConfigurationWith Signal Matrix and Application Configuration in PCM600, it is possible tomodify the standard configuration according to the actual needs. The IED isdelivered from the factory with default connections described in the functionaldiagrams for binary inputs, binary outputs, function-to-function connections andalarm LEDs. The Signal Matrix is used for GOOSE signal input engineering andfor making cross-references between the physical I/O signals and the functionblocks. The Signal Matrix tool cannot be used for adding or removing functionblocks, for example, GOOSE receive function blocks. The ApplicationConfiguration tool is used for these kind of operations. If a function block isremoved with Application Configuration, the function related data disappears fromthe menus as well as from the 61850 data model, with the exception of some basicfunction blocks, which are mandatory and thus cannot be removed from the IEDconfiguration by removing them from the Application Configuration.

The standard configuration for non-directional overcurrent and directional earth-fault protection is mainly intended for cable and overhead-line feeder applicationsin isolated and resonant-earthed distribution networks.

The IED with a standard configuration is delivered from the factory with defaultsettings and parameters. The end-user flexibility for incoming, outgoing andinternal signal designation within the IED enables this configuration to be furtheradapted to different primary circuit layouts and the related functionality needs bymodifying the internal functionality using PCM600.

3.4.3 Functional diagramsThe functional diagrams describe the default input, output, alarm LED and function-to-function connections. The default connections can be viewed and changed withPCM600 according to the application requirements, if necessary.

The analog channels have fixed connections towards the different function blocksinside the IED’s standard configuration.

The ITL_BYPASS input can be used, for example, to always enable the closing ofthe circuit breaker when the circuit breaker truck is in the test position, despite ofthe interlocking conditions being active when the circuit breaker truck is closed inservice position.

If the ENA_CLOSE signal is completely removed from the breakercontrol function block CBXCBR with PCM600, the functionassumes that the breaker close commands are allowed continuously.

If REMOTE_FEEDER_READY information is missing, forexample in case of protection communication not connected, itdisables the circuit breaker closing in the local IED.

The circuit breaker condition monitoring function (SSCBR) supervises the circuitbreaker status based on the binary input information connected and measuredcurrent levels. The function introduces various supervision methods. Thecorresponding supervision alarm signals are routed to LED 8.

3.6 Standard configuration C

3.6.1 ApplicationsThe standard configuration for non-directional overcurrent and non-directional earth-fault protection is mainly intended for cable and overhead-line feeder applicationsin directly or resistance earthed distribution networks.

The IED with a standard configuration is delivered from the factory with defaultsettings and parameters. The end-user flexibility for incoming, outgoing andinternal signal designation within the IED enables this configuration to be furtheradapted to different primary circuit layouts and the related functionality needs bymodifying the internal functionality using PCM600.

Figure 33: Phase discontinuity, thermal overload and circuit breaker failureprotection

The phase discontinuity protection (PDNPSTOC1) provides protection forinterruptions in the normal three-phase load supply, for example, in downedconductor situations. The operate signal of the phase discontinuity protection isconnected to the Master Trip and also to an alarm LED and the disturbancerecorder. The thermal overload protection (T1PTTR1) provides indication onoverload situations. The operate signal of the phase discontinuity protection isconnected to the Master Trip and also to an alarm LED. LED 4 is used for thephase discontinuity protection operate indication, the same as for negativesequence overcurrent protection operate indication, and LED 5 is used for thethermal overload protection alarm indication.

The breaker failure protection (CCBRBRF1) is initiated via the start input by anumber of different protection stages in the IED. The breaker failure protectionfunction offers different operating modes associated with the circuit breakerposition and the measured phase and residual currents. The breaker failureprotection has two operating outputs: TRRET and TRBU. The TRRET operateoutput is used for retripping its own breaker through the Master Trip 2. The TRBUoutput is used to give a back-up trip to the breaker feeding upstream. For thispurpose, the TRBU operate output signal is connected to the output PO2 (X100:8-9). LED 6 is used for back-up (TRBU) operate indication.

Each arc protection function block has two differentoperation modes, with or without the phase and residual current check. Operatesignals from the arc protection function blocks are connected to the Master Tripand also to the alarm LED 10 as a common operate indication.

The autorecloser is configured to be initiated by operate signals from a number ofprotection stages through the INIT1...5 inputs. It is possible to create individualautoreclose sequences for each input.

The autoreclose function can be blocked with the INHIBIT_RECL input. Bydefault, the operation of selected protection functions are connected to this input. A

The circuit breaker availability for the autoreclosure sequence is expressed with theCB_RDY input in DARREC1. In the configuration, this signal is not connected toany of the binary inputs. As a result, the function assumes that the breaker isavailable all the time.

The autoreclose sequence in progress indication is connected to the alarm LED 11.

Figure 41: Phase discontinuity, thermal overload and circuit breaker failureprotection

The phase discontinuity protection (PDNPSTOC1) provides protection forinterruptions in the normal three-phase load supply, for example, in downedconductor situations. The operate signal of the phase discontinuity protection isconnected to the Master Trip and also to an alarm LED and the disturbancerecorder. The thermal overload protection (T1PTTR1) provides indication onoverload situations. The operate signal of the phase discontinuity protection isconnected to the Master Trip and also to an alarm LED. LED 4 is used for thephase discontinuity protection operate indication, the same as for negativesequence overcurrent protection operate indication, and LED 5 is used for thethermal overload protection alarm indication.

The breaker failure protection (CCBRBRF1) is initiated via the start input by anumber of different protection stages in the IED. The breaker failure protectionfunction offers different operating modes associated with the circuit breakerposition and the measured phase and residual currents. The breaker failureprotection has two operating outputs: TRRET and TRBU. The TRRET operateoutput is used for retripping its own breaker through the Master Trip 2. The TRBUoutput is used to give a back-up trip to the breaker feeding upstream. For thispurpose, the TRBU operate output signal is connected to the output PO2 (X100:8-9). LED 6 is used for back-up (TRBU) operate indication.

The autoreclose function can be blocked with the INHIBIT_RECL input. Bydefault, the operation of selected protection functions are connected to this input. Acontrol command to the circuit breaker, either local or remote, also blocks theautoreclose function via the CBXCBR-selected signal.

The circuit breaker availability for the autoreclosure sequence is expressed with thebinary input 4 (X110:6-7) by connecting the input signal to the CB_RDY input. Incase this signal is completely removed from the autoreclose function block withPCM600, the function assumes that the breaker is available all the time.

The autoreclose sequence in progress indication is connected to the alarm LED 11.

the disconnector or breaker truck and earth-switch position statuses and the statusesof the master trip logics and gas pressure alarm and circuit-breaker spring charging.This combination of interlocking conditions is called LOCAL_FEEDER_READYand is transferred also to the remote end via binary signal transfer. The OKPOSoutput from DCSXSWI defines if the disconnector or breaker truck is definitelyeither open (in test position) or close (in service position). This, together with theopen earth-switch and non-active trip signals, activates the close-enable signal tothe circuit breaker control function block. The open operation is always enabled.The auto-recloser close command signals are directly connected to the outputcontact PO1 (X100:6-7).

The ITL_BYPASS input can be used, for example, to always enable the closing ofthe circuit breaker when the circuit breaker truck is in the test position, despite ofthe interlocking conditions being active when the circuit breaker truck is closed inservice position.

If the ENA_CLOSE and BLK_CLOSE signals are completelyremoved from the breaker control function block CBXCBR withPCM600, the function assumes that the breaker close commandsare allowed continuously.

The circuit breaker condition monitoring function (SSCBR) supervises the circuitbreaker status based on the binary input information connected and measuredcurrent levels. The function introduces various supervision methods. Thecorresponding supervision alarm signals are routed to LED 8.

The standard configuration for non-directional overcurrent and directional earth-fault protection with phase-voltage based measurements is mainly intended forcable and overhead-line feeder applications in isolated and resonant-eartheddistribution networks.

The IED with a standard configuration is delivered from the factory with defaultsettings and parameters. The end-user flexibility for incoming, outgoing andinternal signal designation within the IED enables this configuration to be furtheradapted to different primary circuit layouts and the related functionality needs bymodifying the internal functionality using PCM600.

Figure 53: Trip circuit supervision

Two separate trip circuit supervision functions are included, TCSSCBR1 for PO3(X100:15-19) and TCSSCBR2 for PO4 (X100:20-24). Both functions are blockedby the Master Trip (TRPPTRC1 and TRPPTRC2) and the circuit breaker opensignal. The TCS alarm indication is connected to LED 9.

By default it is expected that there is no external resistor in thecircuit breaker tripping coil circuit connected parallel with circuitbreaker normally open auxiliary contact.

The fuse failure supervision SEQRFUF1 detects failures in voltage measurementcircuits. Failures, such as an open miniature circuit breaker, are detected and thealarm is connected to the alarm LED 9.

Failures in current measuring circuits are detected by CCRDIF. When a failure isdetected, blocking signal is activated in current protection functions that aremeasuring calculated sequence component currents, and unnecessary operation canbe avoided. The alarm signal is connected to the alarm LED 9.

The OKPOSoutput from DCSXSWI defines if the disconnector or breaker truck is definitelyeither open (in test position) or close (in service position). This, together with theopen earth-switch and non-active trip signals, activates the close-enable signal tothe circuit breaker control function block. The open operation is always enabled.The auto-recloser close command signals are directly connected to the outputcontact PO1 (X100:6-7).

The ITL_BYPASS input can be used, for example, to always enable the closing ofthe circuit breaker when the circuit breaker truck is in the test position, despite ofthe interlocking conditions being active when the circuit breaker truck is closed inservice position.

3.9 Standard configuration F

3.9.1 Applications

The standard configuration for directional overcurrent and directional earth-faultprotection with phase-voltage based measurements, undervoltage and overvoltageprotection is mainly intended for comprehensive protection and controlfunctionality of circuit breaker controlled asynchronous motors. With minormodifications this standard configuration can be applied also for contactorcontrolled motors.

The IED with a standard configuration is delivered from the factory with defaultsettings and parameters. The end-user flexibility for incoming, outgoing andinternal signal designation within the IED enables this configuration to be furtheradapted to different primary circuit layouts and the related functionality needs bymodifying the internal functionality using PCM600.

3.9.3 Functional diagrams

The functional diagrams describe the default input, output, alarm LED and function-to-function connections. The default connections can be viewed and changed withPCM600 according to the application requirements, if necessary.

The analog channels have fixed connections towards the different function blocksinside the IED’s standard configuration. Exceptions from this rule are the 12analog channels available for the disturbance recorder function. These channels arefreely selectable and a part of the disturbance recorder’s parameter settings.

The analog channels are assigned to different functions. The common signalmarked with 3I represents the three phase currents and 3U the three phase voltages.The signal marked with Io represents the measured residual current via a corebalance current transformer. The signal marked with Uo represents the measuredresidual voltage via open-delta connected voltage transformers.

The EFHPTOC protection function block for double (cross-country) earth-faultsuses the calculated residual current originating from the measured phase currents.

3.9.3.1 Functional diagrams for protection

The functional diagrams describe the IED’s protection functionality in detail andpicture the factory set default connections.

Four overcurrent stages are available for overcurrent and short-circuit protection.Three of them include directional functionality (DPHxPDOC). The non-directionalinstantaneous stage (PHIPTOC1) can be blocked by energizing the binary input 1(X120:1-2). Two negative-sequence overcurrent stages (NSPTOC1 andNSPTOC2) are available for phase unbalance protection. The inrush detectionblock’s (INRPHAR1) output BLK2H enables either blocking the function ormultiplying the active settings for any of the shown protection function blocks.

The OKPOSoutput from DCSXSWI defines if the disconnector or breaker truck is definitelyeither open (in test position) or close (in service position). This, together with theopen earth-switch and non-active trip signals, activates the close-enable signal tothe circuit breaker control function block. The open operation is always enabled.The auto-recloser close command signals are directly connected to the outputcontact PO1 (X100:6-7).

The ITL_BYPASS input can be used, for example, to always enable the closing ofthe circuit breaker when the circuit breaker truck is in the test position, despite ofthe interlocking conditions being active when the circuit breaker truck is closed inservice position.

If the ENA_CLOSE and BLK_CLOSE signals are completelyremoved from the breaker control function block CBXCBR withPCM600, the function assumes that the breaker close commandsare allowed continuously.

3.10 Standard configuration G

3.10.1 ApplicationsThe standard configuration for non-directional earth-fault, voltage and frequencyprotection is mainly intended for cable and overhead-line feeder applications indirect or resistance earthed distribution networks.

The IED with a standard configuration is delivered from the factory with defaultsettings and parameters. The end-user flexibility for incoming, outgoing andinternal signal designation within the IED enables this configuration to be furtheradapted to different primary circuit layouts and the related functionality needs bymodifying the internal functionality using PCM600.

Rogowski sensor setting exampleIn this example, a 80 A/0.150 V at 50 Hz sensor is used and the application has a150 A nominal current (In). As the Rogowski sensor is linear and does not saturate,the 80 A/0.150 V at 50 Hz sensor also works as a 150 A/0.28125 V at 50 Hzsensor. When defining another primary value for the sensor, also the nominalvoltage has to be redefined to maintain the same transformation ratio. However, thesetting in the IED (Rated Secondary Value) is not in V but in mV/Hz, which makesthe same setting value valid for both 50 and 60 Hz nominal frequency.

3.10.3 Functional diagramsThe functional diagrams describe the default input, output, alarm LED and function-to-function connections. The default connections can be viewed and changed withPCM600 according to the application requirements, if necessary.

The analog channels have fixed connections towards the different function blocksinside the IED’s standard configuration. Exceptions from this rule are the 12analog channels available for the disturbance recorder function. These channels arefreely selectable and a part of the disturbance recorder’s parameter settings.

The analog channels are assigned to different functions. The common signalmarked with 3I represents the three phase currents and 3U the three phase voltages.The signal marked with Io represents the measured residual current via a corebalance current transformer. The signal marked with Uo represents the measuredresidual voltage via open-delta connected voltage transformers.

The EFHPTOC protection function block for double (cross-country) earth-faultsuses the calculated residual current originating from the measured phase currents.

3.10.3.1 Functional diagrams for protection

The functional diagrams describe the IED’s protection functionality in detail andpicture the factory set default connections.

Four overcurrent stages are available for overcurrent and short-circuit protection.Three of them include directional functionality (DPHxPDOC) and one non-directional instantaneous stage (PHIPTOC1). The inrush detection block’s(INRPHAR1) output BLK2H enables either blocking the function or multiplyingthe active settings for any of the shown protection function blocks.

3.11 Standard configuration H

3.11.1 ApplicationsThe standard configuration for non-directional overcurrent and non-directional earth-fault, phase-voltage and frequency protection and measurement functions is mainlyintended for cable and overhead-line feeder applications in directly or resistance-earthed distribution networks.

The IED with a standard configuration is delivered from the factory with defaultsettings and parameters. The end-user flexibility for incoming, outgoing andinternal signal designation within the IED enables this configuration to be furtheradapted to different primary circuit layouts and the related functionality needs bymodifying the internal functionality using PCM600.

3.11.3 Functional diagrams

The functional diagrams describe the default input, output, alarm LED and function-to-function connections. The default connections can be viewed and changed withPCM600 according to the application requirements, if necessary.

The analog channels have fixed connections towards the different function blocksinside the IED’s standard configuration. Exceptions from this rule are the 12analog channels available for the disturbance recorder function. These channels arefreely selectable and a part of the disturbance recorder’s parameter settings.

The analog channels are assigned to different functions. The common signalmarked with 3I represents the three phase currents and 3U the three phase voltages.The signal marked with Io represents the measured residual current via a corebalance current transformer. The signal marked with Uo represents the measuredresidual voltage via open-delta connected voltage transformers.

The EFHPTOC protection function block for double (cross-country) earth-faultsuses the calculated residual current originating from the measured phase currents.

The circuit breaker closing is enabled when the ENA_CLOSE input is activated.The input can be activated by the configuration logic, which is a combination ofthe disconnector or breaker truck and earth-switch position statuses and the statusesof the master trip logics and gas pressure alarm and circuit-breaker spring charging.This combination of interlocking conditions is called LOCAL_FEEDER_READYand is transferred also to the remote end via binary signal transfer. The OKPOSoutput from DCSXSWI defines if the disconnector or breaker truck is definitelyeither open (in test position) or close (in service position). This, together with theopen earth-switch and non-active trip signals, activates the close-enable signal tothe circuit breaker control function block. The open operation is always enabled.The auto-recloser close command signals are directly connected to the outputcontact PO1 (X100:6-7).

The ITL_BYPASS input can be used, for example, to always enable the closing ofthe circuit breaker when the circuit breaker truck is in the test position, despite ofthe interlocking conditions being active when the circuit breaker truck is closed inservice position.

If the ENA_CLOSE and BLK_CLOSE signals are completelyremoved from the breaker control function block CBXCBR withPCM600, the function assumes that the breaker close commandsare allowed continuously.

Section 4 Requirements for measurementtransformers

4.1 Current transformers

4.1.1 Current transformer requirements for non-directionalovercurrent protectionFor reliable and correct operation of the overcurrent protection, the CT has to bechosen carefully. The distortion of the secondary current of a saturated CT mayendanger the operation, selectivity, and co-ordination of protection. However,when the CT is correctly selected, a fast and reliable short circuit protection can beenabled.

The selection of a CT depends not only on the CT specifications but also on thenetwork fault current magnitude, desired protection objectives, and the actual CTburden. The protection settings of the IED should be defined in accordance withthe CT performance as well as other factors.

4.1.1.1 Current transformer accuracy class and accuracy limit factor

The rated accuracy limit factor (Fn) is the ratio of the rated accuracy limit primarycurrent to the rated primary current. For example, a protective current transformerof type 5P10 has the accuracy class 5P and the accuracy limit factor 10. Forprotective current transformers, the accuracy class is designed by the highestpermissible percentage composite error at the rated accuracy limit primary currentprescribed for the accuracy class concerned, followed by the letter "P" (meaningprotection).

The CT accuracy primary limit current describes the highest fault currentmagnitude at which the CT fulfils the specified accuracy. Beyond this level, thesecondary current of the CT is distorted and it might have severe effects on theperformance of the protection IED.

In practise, the actual accuracy limit factor (Fa) differs from the rated accuracylimit factor (Fn) and is proportional to the ratio of the rated CT burden and theactual CT burden.

The actual accuracy limit factor is calculated using the formula:

4.1.1.2 Non-directional overcurrent protection

The current transformer selectionNon-directional overcurrent protection does not set high requirements on theaccuracy class or on the actual accuracy limit factor (Fa) of the CTs. It is, however,recommended to select a CT with Fa of at least 20.

The nominal primary current I1n should be chosen in such a way that the thermaland dynamic strength of the current measuring input of the IED is not exceeded.This is always fulfilled when

I1n > Ikmax / 100,

Ikmax is the highest fault current.

The saturation of the CT protects the measuring circuit and the current input of theIED. For that reason, in practice, even a few times smaller nominal primary currentcan be used than given by the formula.

Recommended start current settingsIf Ikmin is the lowest primary current at which the highest set overcurrent stage is tooperate, the start current should be set using the formula:

Current start value < 0.7 x (Ikmin / I1n)

I1n is the nominal primary current of the CT.

The factor 0.7 takes into account the protection IED inaccuracy, currenttransformer errors, and imperfections of the short circuit calculations.

The adequate performance of the CT should be checked when the setting of thehigh set stage overcurrent protection is defined. The operate time delay caused bythe CT saturation is typically small enough when the overcurrent setting isnoticeably lower than Fa.

When defining the setting values for the low set stages, the saturation of the CTdoes not need to be taken into account and the start current setting is simplyaccording to the formula.

Delay in operation caused by saturation of current transformersThe saturation of CT may cause a delayed IED operation. To ensure the timeselectivity, the delay must be taken into account when setting the operate times ofsuccessive IEDs.

With definite time mode of operation, the saturation of CT may cause a delay thatis as long as the time the constant of the DC component of the fault current, whenthe current is only slightly higher than the starting current. This depends on theaccuracy limit factor of the CT, on the remanence flux of the core of the CT, andon the operate time setting.

With inverse time mode of operation, the delay should always be considered asbeing as long as the time constant of the DC component.

With inverse time mode of operation and when the high-set stages are not used, theAC component of the fault current should not saturate the CT less than 20 times thestarting current. Otherwise, the inverse operation time can be further prolonged.Therefore, the accuracy limit factor Fa should be chosen using the formula:

Fa > 20*Current start value / I1n

The Current start value is the primary pickup current setting of the IED.

Figure 99: Example of three-stage overcurrent protection

The maximum three-phase fault current is 41.7 kA and the minimum three-phaseshort circuit current is 22.8 kA. The actual accuracy limit factor of the CT iscalculated to be 59.

The start current setting for low-set stage (3I>) is selected to be about twice thenominal current of the cable. The operate time is selected so that it is selective withthe next IED (not visible in the figure above). The settings for the high-set stageand instantaneous stage are defined also so that grading is ensured with thedownstream protection. In addition, the start current settings have to be defined sothat the IED operates with the minimum fault current and it does not operate withthe maximum load current. The settings for all three stages are as in the figure above.

For the application point of view, the suitable setting for instantaneous stage (I>>>)in this example is 3 500 A (5.83 x I2n). For the CT characteristics point of view, thecriteria given by the current transformer selection formula is fulfilled and also theIED setting is considerably below the Fa. In this application, the CT rated burdencould have been selected much lower than 10 VA for economical reasons.
