Chapter 1: Introduction Introduction The Mulitlin 850 relay is a microprocessor-based unit intended for the management and primary protection of distribution feeders, as well as for the management and backup protection of buses, transformers, and transmission lines. The 850 relay is particularly suited to overhead feeders, where automatic reclosing is normally applied.
DESCRIPTION OF THE 850 FEEDER PROTECTION SYSTEM CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION Description of the 850 Feeder Protection System Relay functions are controlled by two processors: a Freescale MPC5125 32-bit microprocessor that measures all analog signals and digital inputs and controls all output relays, and a Freescale MPC8358 32-bit microprocessor that controls all the advanced Ethernet communication protocols.

The basic security feature is present in the default offering of the 850 relay. The 850 introduces the notion of roles for different levels of authority. Roles are used as login names with associated passwords stored on the device. The following roles are available at present: Administrator, Operator, Factory and Observer, with a fixed permission structure for each one.
Each of these modules can be supplied in a number of configurations specified at the time NOTE of ordering. The information to specify an 850 relay is provided in the following Order Code figure: 850 FEEDER PROTECTION SYSTEM – INSTRUCTION MANUAL 1–7...

The phase sequence is user programmable for either ABC or ACB rotation. The 850 relay has four (4) current inputs in each J slot and K slot. Three of them are used for connecting to the phase CT phases A, B, and C. The fourth input is a ground input that can be connected to either a ground CT placed on the neutral from a Wye connected transformer winding, or to a “donut”...
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION Voltage Inputs The 850 relays have four channels for AC voltage inputs, each with an isolating transformer. Voltage transformers up to a maximum 5000:1 ratio may be used. The nominal secondary voltage must be in the 10 to 240 V range. In Main-Tie-Main bus transfer scheme, the three phase inputs are mostly used for “Bus voltage”.

CAUTION: that the common terminals of each RS485 port are tied together and grounded only once, at the master or at the 850. Failure to do so may result in intermittent or failed communications. The source computer/PLC/SCADA system should have similar transient protection devices installed, either internally or externally.

Setpoints Setpoints Main Menu The 850 has a considerable number of programmable setpoints, all of which make the relay extremely flexible. These setpoints have been grouped into a variety of menus as shown below. Each setpoints menu has sub-sections that describe in detail the setpoints found on that menu.
Files can be stored and downloaded for fast, error free entry when a computer is used. To facilitate this process, the GE EnerVista CD with the EnerVista 8 Series Setup software is supplied with the relay. The relay leaves the factory with setpoints programmed to default values, and it is these values that are shown in all the setpoint message illustrations.
The range is “Disabled”, “Forward”, and “Reverse”. If set to “Disabled”, the element is allowed to operate for current flow in any direction. There is no supervision from the directional 850 FEEDER PROTECTION SYSTEM – INSTRUCTION MANUAL 4–3...

Modbus is a single master / multiple slave type of protocol suitable for a multi-drop configuration. The 850 is always a Modbus slave with a valid slave address range 1 to 254. DATA FRAME FORMAT AND DATA RATE One data frame of an asynchronous transmission to or from an 850 typically consists of 1 start bit, 8 data bits, and 1 stop bit.
Page 143
Range: 1 to 254 in steps of 1 Default: 254 For the RS485 ports each 850 must have a unique address from 1 to 254. Address 0 is the broadcast address to which all Modbus slave devices listen. Addresses do not have to be sequential, but no two devices can have the same address, otherwise conflicts resulting in errors occur.

The IEC 60870-5-104 communications protocol is supported on Ethernet ports 4 and 5 only. Setting changes become active after rebooting. In 850 both DNP and IEC104 protocol can work at the same time, but the user has to FASTPATH: consider that there is only one point map. So, the two protocols use the same data mapping, i.e., same point index and same point source.

Figure 4-110: Control Display Hierarchy Setpoint Group The 850 relay provides six setpoint groups. All setpoints contained under the protection setpoints are reproduced in six groups, identified as Setpoint Groups 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. These multiple setpoints provide the capability for both automatic and manual switching to protection settings for different operating situations.

CONTROL Trip Bus The 850 relay provides six identical Trip Bus elements. The Trip Bus element allows aggregating outputs of protection, control elements, inputs without using FlexLogic and assigning them in a simple and effective manner.

CHAPTER 4: SETPOINTS Breaker Failure The 850 relay provides one Breaker Failure element. The Breaker Failure element determines that a breaker signaled to Trip has not cleared a fault within a definite time. The Breaker Failure scheme must Trip all breakers that can supply current to the faulted zone.
This setpoint specifies the neutral current Retrip level, which when exceeded after Breaker Failure initiation, will Retrip its own breaker. The setting detects the lowest expected fault current on the protected circuit. Neutral Retrip current supervision is used to provide increased sensitivity. 850 FEEDER PROTECTION SYSTEM – INSTRUCTION MANUAL 4–301...

The transfer scheme implemented in the 850 relay is known as Open Transfer, with an “Open-before-Close” operation sequence. This means that the faulty incomer is removed from service before the tie breaker is closed.

Transfers are inhibited. A normal setting for this element is about 0.25 of Pickup of nominal voltage. When the 850 measures a single phase-phase voltage, these values should be multiplied by 1/√3 to cover the case of a phase-ground fault on a measured phase reducing that phase voltage but leaving the other two phases at a higher voltage.
Up to four reclosing ‘shots’ with separately programmable ‘dead times’ can be set for each shot. Reclosing can be initiated from any 850 Overcurrent element, or from external sources. Overcurrent protection setpoints can be adjusted between reclosing shots in order to co-ordinate with downstream devices.
