  • Page 8: General Description And Application

    1. 1. 1. 1. 1.1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION The DBF system is a microprocessor based breaker failure protection, control and measurement unit that has different algorithms to allow its use on a wide range of applications in power systems. The functions and information management of the unit can be performed remotely (computer connected to the serial port RS232, fiber-optic or modem) or locally using the man-machine interface (HMI), which includes a 20 keys keypad, and a two line liquid crystal display (LCD) on the front of the relay.
  • Page 9 GE-INTRO configuration software (for inputs, outputs, LEDs configuration) and GE-LOCAL communications software (for relay monitoring, settings change, stored data retrieve, etc). Both are part of the GE-NESIS software package (General Electric Network Substation Integrated System). DBF Breaker Failure Protection...

    2. 2. 2. 2. (See figure 1 at the end of the Instruction Manual) 2.1. PROTECTION FUNCTIONS The DBF system incorporates the following overcurrent detectors: Three Single Phase Low-Level Overcurrent Detectors (Used by the 50BF 1P function.) Three Single Phase High-Level Overcurrent Detectors. (Used by the 50BF 3P function.) One Ground Overcurrent Detector.

  • Page 12: Monitoring And Recording Functions

    16 user configurable red LEDs. These configurable LEDs are arranged in two columns of 8 LEDs each. The configuration is done using the GE-INTRO software, and it consists on assigning an internal event (or an AND gate of internal events) to an LED. The LED can be configured to have memory (if Vdc is removed or the event causing the operation of the LED gets deactivated) or not and to blink or to be steady.

  • Page 17: Built-In Self-Checking Unit

    Two built-in self-checking functions are performed, one when the unit is started up and the other during normal operation. Internal tests are provided for power supply, program memory (ROM), working memory (RAM), oscillography memory (RAM), and settings and calibration memory (EEPROM).
  • Page 18 The user can select from the following list which signals may trigger the oscillography: The oscillography records are retrieved from the relay to the computer in COMTRADE international standard format using the GE_LOCAL communications program. To draw the waveforms, digital flags, phasors and post- fault analysis in general, it is suggested to use the GE_OSC oscillography program or any other that accepts COMTRADE international format (IEEE-C37.111-1991).

    SELECT 0" and "ACTIVE TABLE SELECT 1" which allow up to 4 combinations from 0 to 3. To do this it is necessary to configure (using GE-INTRO software) two inputs to have these meanings. For applications which require less tables (up to 2) it is possible to use only one input.

  • Page 20: Time Synchronization

    The DBF system has 6 digital inputs (two groups of 3 inputs with one common in each group). The inputs can be configured by the user by means of the GE-INTRO configuration program. Using the optional expansion board it is possible to increase the number of inputs up to a total of 14 (2 groups of 3 inputs with one common in each group and 4 groups of 2 inputs with one common in each group).
  • Page 21 2. OPERATION LOGIC 2.4.3.2 Outputs The basic DBF system has 10 outputs as follows: 2 tripping contacts (A12-B12 and C1-D1) 1 Breaker failure pickup signaling (A11-B11) 1 Internal arc detection (C2-D2) 1 Equipment alarm (C3-D3) 5 configurable contacts (C4-D4 to C8-D8) The optional expansion board for the DBF provides 6 additional latched contacts (E1-F1 to E6-F6).

  • Page 22: Man-Machine Interface (Hmi)

    2.5. MAN-MACHINE INTERFACE (HMI) The DBF system includes as standard a 20 key keyboard and a 2-line liquid crystal display (LCD) with 16 characters per line. This display has highly reliable LED diode back lighting (the screen brightness can be adjusted on the rear of the front board).

  • Page 23: Remote Communications

    Gate 1 (PORT 1 and PORT 2 connectors) and 2 (PORT 3 connector) are independent and the unit can serve them simultaneously. The communications protocol is the same used for the rest of the GE digital protection systems and requires the use of the GE-LOCAL software. PORT 3 protocol can be chosen between M-LINK and ModBus RTU. The protocol is highly reliable and allows communication with different protection systems.

The front port is PORT 1 and the rear ports are PORT 2 and PORT3. The IRIG-B connection is made using a block of two additional terminals.

  • Page 34: Operating Theory

    The DBF functionality is related to the following modules: - Magnetic module - CPU board - Power supply - Keyboard and display The magnetic module performs two essential functions: galvanic insulation and scaling analog input signals. In the case of current transformers the input current for the primary winding is converted into a scaled voltage in the secondary winding.
