Synchrocheck and Volts/Hertz features. The L60 uses a special CT/VT module not available on other UR-series relays. This Type 8P module has four current inputs and special communications inputs/outputs for interfacing with PLCs. The communications interface requires an external DC source (station battery) to drive inputs/outputs as shown in the L60 Channel Communications section in this chapter.
The terminal configuration for contact inputs is different for the two applications. The digital inputs are grouped with a common return. The L60 has two versions of grouping: four inputs per common return and two inputs per common return. When a digital input/output module is ordered, four inputs per common is used. The four inputs per common allows for high-density inputs in combination with outputs, with a compromise of four inputs sharing one common.

FlexLogic™ operand will be set to “On” and REMOTE ACCESS DENIED the L60 will not allow Settings or Command access via the any external communications interface for the next ten minutes. FlexLogic™ operand will be set to “Off” after the expiration of the ten-minute timeout.
Some customers prefer very low currents to display as zero, while others prefer the current be displayed even when the value reflects noise rather than the actual signal. The L60 applies a cut- off value to the magnitudes and angles of the measured currents.
Page 102
The L60 applies a cut-off value to the magnitudes and angles of the measured voltages. If the magnitude is below the cut-off level, it is substituted with zero.
Selected records can be cleared from user-programmable conditions with FlexLogic™ operands. Assigning user-program- mable pushbuttons to clear specific records are typical applications for these commands. Since the L60 responds to rising edges of the configured FlexLogic™ operands, they must be asserted for at least 50 ms to take effect.
0 ms The L60 is equipped with up to 3 independent serial communication ports. The faceplate RS232 port is intended for local use and is fixed at 19200 baud and no parity. The rear COM1 port type is selected when ordering: either an Ethernet or RS485 port.

MODBUS SLAVE ADDRESS grammed. For the RS485 ports each L60 must have a unique address from 1 to 254. Address 0 is the broadcast address which all Modbus slave devices listen to. Addresses do not have to be sequential, but no two devices can have the same address or conflicts resulting in errors will occur.

CONTROL POINTS: 0 The L60 supports the Distributed Network Protocol (DNP) version 3.0. The L60 can be used as a DNP slave device con- nected to multiple DNP masters (usually an RTU or a SCADA master station). Since the L60 maintains two sets of DNP data change buffers and connection information, two DNP masters can actively communicate with the L60 at one time.
Page 108
DNP VOLTAGE SCALE FACTOR Input points that are voltages will be returned with values 1000 times smaller (e.g. a value of 72000 V on the L60 will be returned as 72). These settings are useful when analog input values must be adjusted to fit within certain ranges in DNP masters.

CPU resources. When server scanning is disabled, there will be not updated to the IEC 61850 logical node sta- tus values in the L60. Clients will still be able to connect to the server (L60 relay), but most data values will not be updated.
Page 112
NUMBER: The Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) can be used to transfer files from the L60 over a network. The L60 operates as a TFTP server. TFTP client software is available from various sources, including Microsoft Windows NT. The dir.txt file obtained from the L60 contains a list and description of all available files (event records, oscillography, etc.).
Page 113
THRESHOLD: 30000 The L60 supports the IEC 60870-5-104 protocol. The L60 can be used as an IEC 60870-5-104 slave device connected to a maximum of two masters (usually either an RTU or a SCADA master station). Since the L60 maintains two sets of IEC 60870-5-104 data change buffers, no more than two masters should actively communicate with the L60 at one time.
L60 clock is closely synchronized with the SNTP/NTP server. It may take up to two minutes for the L60 to signal an SNTP self-test error if the server is offline.

AND3 is included to make it impossible to key both frequencies simultaneously. It also gives preference to the low-shift which is sent continuously when FDL is dropped out.

The overall performance of the scheme will be dependent on the characteristics of the channel selected. While dual phase-comparison will reduce the maximum tripping time, it does so at the expense of simplicity and possibly some secu- rity depending on how it is accomplished.

8.2 SINGLE-POLE TRIPPING 8.2.2 PHASE SELECTION The L60 uses phase relations between current symmetrical components for phase selection. First, the algorithm validates if there is enough zero-, positive-, and negative-sequence currents for reliable analysis. The comparison is adaptive; that is, the magnitudes of the three symmetrical components used mutually as restraints confirm if a given component is large enough to be used for phase selection.

9 APPLICATION OF SETTINGS 9.1PHASE COMPARISON ELEMENT 87PC 9.1.1 DESCRIPTION The L60 Phase Comparison relay is designed to provide high-speed protection of transmission lines against all phase and ground faults when operated in the “mixed-excitation” mode. The term “mixed-excitation”, when applied to phase compari- son, describes a scheme that first mixes different sequence quantities in a given proportion and phase angle, then performs a phase-comparison based on this mix.
Page 370
Different methods can be used. The L60 allows the customer to check and set phase delay without using an oscilloscope and by means of FlexLogic™ operands and applying the corresponding current to both relays. Oscillography shows the time difference (including PLC delay and line propagation time) between local and remote signals.
Check against requirement for trip supervision by distance relay: As minimum internal 3-phase fault is much than twice the maximum line load current, no distance element is required for be assigned to FD INPUT setting. GE Multilin L60 Line Phase Comparison Relay...
LV fault. For this system configuration, a 3-ter- minal L60 should be utilized; the third terminal is then fed from CT on the high side of the tapped transformer.
9.2.3 TRANSFORMER LOAD CURRENTS The L60 can be applied on the line with a tapped transformer. Since the tapped line may be energized from one terminal only, or there may be a low current flowing through the line, the phase-comparison element must set to provide stability.
9.2 DISTANCE BACKUP/SUPERVISION 9 APPLICATION OF SETTINGS The L60 measures total harmonic distortion (THD) in all three phase currents and neutral current. These measurements are available for protection purposes though FlexElements™ (universal comparators). The FlexElement™ output can be used to block sensitive neutral instantaneous overcurrent or phase comparison on transformer energization.
FDL and FDH, additional elements have to be assigned to 87PC FDL AUX and 87PC FDH AUX settings. These elements include distance, negative-sequence overvoltage, zero-sequence overvoltage, posi- tive-sequence undervoltage. GE Multilin L60 Line Phase Comparison Relay...
9.2.8 SINGLE-POLE TRIPPING APPLICATIONS The L60 provides functionality for single-pole tripping from 87PC, distance functions, or instantaneous overcurrent ele- ments via the Trip Output element. 87PC can detect internal faults on the line but not faulted phases, since the phase cur- rents are combined in one quantity.
87PC during two consecutive cycles Counter operates on second operation of 87PC, producing a trip 831790A1.CDR Figure 9–8: SECURE TRIPPING ON THE 2ND COINCIDENCE OF THE 87PC ELEMENT GE Multilin L60 Line Phase Comparison Relay...
The current supervision alone would not prevent maloperation in such circumstances. It must be kept in mind that the Fuse Failure element provided on the L60 needs some time to detect fuse fail conditions. This may create a race between the...
This situation is encountered when it is desired to account for the zero sequence inter-circuit mutual cou- pling. This is not a problem for the ground distance elements in the L60 which do have a current reversal logic built into their design as part of the technique used to improve ground fault directionality.
L60 relay incorporates standard analog phase comparison principles. The L60 oscillography allows customer to observe not only AC waveforms and 87PC operate signals, but all details of compos- ite signal forming, fault detector operation, input and output processing, squares forming, coincidence detection, and inte- gration of the signal.
9.5.2 TWO BREAKER CONFIGURATION The L60 has extra security when 2 CTs are brought into the relay individually and summed internally. Two currents are pro- cessed separately to derive the operating signal for each breaker, which is then used for fault detectors and the forming of positive and negative squares.

The L60 relay supports IEC 61850 server services over both TCP/IP and TP4/CLNP (OSI) communication protocol stacks. The TP4/CLNP profile requires the L60 to have a network address or Network Service Access Point (NSAP) to establish a communication link. The TCP/IP profile requires the L60 to have an IP address to establish communications. These addresses are located in the menu.
C.1.6 COMMUNICATION SOFTWARE UTILITIES The exact structure and values of the supported IEC 61850 logical nodes can be seen by connecting to a L60 relay with an MMS browser, such as the “MMS Object Explorer and AXS4-MMS” DDE/OPC server from Sisco Inc.
