MiCOM P747 Chapter 5 - Protection Functions CHAPTER OVERVIEW The MiCOM P747 provides a wide range of protection functions. This chapter describes the operation of these functions including the principles, logic diagrams and applications. This chapter contains the following sections: Chapter Overview Busbar Protection Busbar Multiple Tripping Criteria...
Chapter 5 - Protection Functions MiCOM P747 BUSBAR PROTECTION A protection scheme for a power system should cover the whole system against all probable types of fault. Unrestricted forms of line protection, such as overcurrent and distance systems, meet this requirement, but clear faults in the busbar zone only after a time delay.
MiCOM P747 Chapter 5 - Protection Functions However, this is difficult to achieve in practice because the CTs can never have identical characteristics. A fault from another zone that causes a high current to pass through is classed as a through fault. In this case the CTs need to be able to cope without saturating.
MiCOM P747 Chapter 5 - Protection Functions BUSBAR MULTIPLE TRIPPING CRITERIA To ensure that the tripping decision is correct, the following criteria must all be satisfied. They are enabled by default, but can be disabled if required. ● The current differential element (I>2) indicates a fault on the protected zone. ●...
Chapter 5 - Protection Functions MiCOM P747 ZONE CURRENT DIFFERENTIAL ELEMENTS The zone current differential element picks up if there is a fault in a zone on the busbar and the following thresholds are exceeded: ● The bias slope characteristic defined by the k2 setting in the GROUP X DIFF PROTECTION column ●...
MiCOM P747 Chapter 5 - Protection Functions 3.5.1 CHECK ZONE SUPERVISION Just as the individual zones have a bias characteristic, so does the check zone. Therefore to confirm a trip both the zone and checkzone thresholds must be exceeded. The checkzone thresholds are: ●...
Chapter 5 - Protection Functions MiCOM P747 The circuitry fail element is time delayed by default. This prevents any conflict with the tripping characteristic if there is a genuine busbar fault. If the circuitry fail element picks up, it triggers an alarm. This can be used to block tripping of the zone differential protection elements.
MiCOM P747 Chapter 5 - Protection Functions that it is CT saturation and therefore is an external (through) fault which doesn’t need tripping. In the GROUP X DIFF PROTECTION column, you can set the threshold PhComp Thresh. Note: This is a single-phase device and the term ‘phase comparison’ does not have any association with the word ‘phase’ normally used for single-phase and three-phase systems.

MiCOM P747 Chapter 5 - Protection Functions CIRCUIT BREAKER FAIL PROTECTION When a fault occurs, one or more protection devices will operate and issue a trip command to the relevant circuit breakers. Operation of the circuit breaker is essential to isolate the fault and prevent, or at least limit, damage to the power system.

MiCOM P747 Chapter 6 - Monitoring and Control VOLTAGE TRANSFORMER SUPERVISION The Voltage Transformer Supervision (VTS) function detects failure of the AC voltage inputs to the IED. If the IED misinterprets this as a failure of the actual phase voltages on the power system, it could result in unecessary tripping of a circuit breaker.
Chapter 6 - Monitoring and Control MiCOM P747 TRIP CIRCUIT SUPERVISION In most protection schemes, the trip circuit extends beyond the IED enclosure and passes through components such as links, relay contacts, auxiliary switches and other terminal boards. Such complex arrangements may require dedicated schemes for their supervision.

MiCOM P747 Chapter 7 - SCADA Communications CHAPTER OVERVIEW The MiCOM products support substation automation system and SCADA communications based on two communications technologies; serial and Ethernet. Serial communications has been around for a long time, and there are many substations still wired up this way. Ethernet is a more modern medium and all modern substation communications is based on this technology.
Chapter 7 - SCADA Communications MiCOM P747 COMMUNICATION INTERFACES The MiCOM Px4x products have a number of standard and optional communication interfaces. The standard and optional hardware and protocols are summarised below: Port Availability Physical layer Data Protocols Front Standard RS232 Local settings Courier...
MiCOM P747 Chapter 7 - SCADA Communications SERIAL COMMUNICATION The physical layer standards that are used for serial communications for SCADA purposes are: ● EIA(RS)485 (often abbreviated to RS485) ● K-Bus (a proprietary customization of RS485) EIA(RS)232 is used for local communication with the IED (for transferring settings and downloading firmware updates) RS485 is similar to RS232 but for longer distances and it allows daisy-chaining and multi-dropping of IEDs.
Chapter 7 - SCADA Communications MiCOM P747 (due to retries), increasing message error counts, erratic communications, and in the worst case, complete failure to communicate. 3.2.1 EIA(RS)485 BIASING REQUIREMENTS Biasing requires that the signal lines be weakly pulled to a defined voltage level of about 1 V. There should only be one bias point on the bus, which is best situated at the master connection point.
MiCOM P747 Chapter 7 - SCADA Communications The K-Bus signal is a differential signal and there is no signal ground connection. If a signal ground connection is present in the bus cable then it must be ignored. At no stage should this be connected to the cable's screen or to the product’s chassis.
Chapter 7 - SCADA Communications MiCOM P747 STANDARD ETHERNET COMMUNICATION The type of Ethernet board depends on the chosen model. The available boards and their features are described in the Hardware Design chapter of this manual. The Ethernet interface is required for either IEC 61850 or DNP3 over Ethernet (protocol must be selected at time of order).
MiCOM P747 Chapter 7 - SCADA Communications OVERVIEW OF DATA PROTOCOLS The products supports a wide range of protocols to make them applicable to many industries and applications. The exact data protocols supported by a particular product depend on its chosen application, but the following table gives a list of the data protocols that are typically available.
Chapter 7 - SCADA Communications MiCOM P747 COURIER This section should provide sufficient detail to enable understanding of the Courier protocol at a level required by most users. For situations where the level of information contained in this manual is insufficient, further publications (R6511 and R6512) containing in-depth details about the protocol and its use, are available on request.

MiCOM P747 Chapter 7 - SCADA Communications TIME SYNCHRONISATION In modern protection schemes it is necessary to synchronise the IED's real time clock so that events from different devices can be time stamped and placed in chronological order. This is achieved in various ways depending on the chosen options and communication protocols.
Chapter 7 - SCADA Communications MiCOM P747 DEMODULATED IRIG-B IRIG stands for Inter Range instrumentation Group, which is a standards body responsible for standardising different time code formats. There are several different formats starting with IRIG-A, followed by IRIG-B and so on.
MiCOM P747 Chapter 7 - SCADA Communications SNTP SNTP is used to synchronise the clocks of computer systems over packet-switched, variable-latency data networks, such as IP. SNTP can be used as the time synchronisation method for models using IEC 61850 over Ethernet.
Chapter 7 - SCADA Communications MiCOM P747 TIME SYNCHRONSIATION USING THE COMMUNICATION PROTOCOLS All communication protocols have in-built time synchronisation mechanisms. If neither IRIG-B nor SNTP is used to synchronise the devices, the time synchronisation mechanism within the relevant serial protocol is used.

Chapter 14 - Commissioning Instructions MiCOM P747 BUSBAR PROTECTION CHECKS There is no need to check every protection function. However, it is necessary to test both a simple protection function on one feeder and the complete system. It is important to use the correct configuration topology and test specification. The test specification must also be complete.
MiCOM P747 Chapter 14 - Commissioning Instructions CHECK THE OPERATING TIME Check that the operating time recorded by the timer is within the setting in the tDiff cell. Allowance must be made for the accuracy of the test equipment being used. Note: For Definite Time characteristics there is an additional delay of up to 0.02 seconds.
Chapter 14 - Commissioning Instructions MiCOM P747 ONLOAD CHECKS Onload checks can only be carried out if there are no restrictions preventing the energisation of the plant, and the other devices in the group have already been commissioned. Remove all test leads and temporary shorting links, then replace any external wiring that has been removed to allow testing.
MiCOM P747 Chapter 14 - Commissioning Instructions values should be within 1% of the expected values, plus an additional allowance for the accuracy of the test equipment being used. ON-LOAD BUSBAR DIFFERENTIAL TEST This test ensures the busbar differential protection function has the correct load conditions. For this test you must first know the actual direction of current flow in the complete system.
Chapter 14 - Commissioning Instructions MiCOM P747 FINAL CHECKS Remove all test leads and temporary shorting leads. If you have had to disconnect any of the external wiring in order to perform the wiring verification tests, replace all wiring, fuses and links in accordance with the relevant external connection or scheme diagram.

MiCOM P747 Chapter 15 - Maintenance and Troubleshooting CHAPTER OVERVIEW The Maintenance and Troubleshooting chapter provides details of how to maintain and troubleshoot products based on the Px4x and P40Agile platforms. Always follow the warning signs in this chapter. Failure to do so may result injury or defective equipment.
Chapter 15 - Maintenance and Troubleshooting MiCOM P747 MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE CHECKS In view of the critical nature of the application, Alstom Grid products should be checked at regular intervals to confirm they are operating correctly. Alstom Grid products are designed for a life in excess of 20 years. The devices are self-supervising and so require less maintenance than earlier designs of protection devices.
MiCOM P747 Chapter 15 - Maintenance and Troubleshooting REPLACING THE DEVICE If your product should develop a fault while in service, depending on the nature of the fault, the watchdog contacts will change state and an alarm condition will be flagged. In the case of a fault, you can replace either the complete device or just the faulty PCB, identified by the in-built diagnostic software.
Chapter 15 - Maintenance and Troubleshooting MiCOM P747 Remove the terminal block screws that fasten the device to the panel and rack. These are the screws with the larger diameter heads that are accessible when the access covers are fitted and open. If the top and bottom access covers have been removed, some more screws with smaller diameter heads are made accessible.
MiCOM P747 Chapter 15 - Maintenance and Troubleshooting REMOVING THE FRONT PANEL Warning: Before removing the front panel to replace a PCB, you must first remove the auxiliary power supply and wait 5 seconds for the internal capacitors to discharge. You should also isolate voltage and current transformer connections and trip circuit.
Chapter 15 - Maintenance and Troubleshooting MiCOM P747 2.5.1 REPLACING THE MAIN PROCESSOR BOARD The main processor board is situated in the front panel. This board contains application-specific settings in its non-volatile memory. You may wish to take a backup copy of these settings. This could save time in the re-commissioning process.
MiCOM P747 Chapter 15 - Maintenance and Troubleshooting To replace a faulty communications board: Remove front panel. Disconnect all connections at the rear. The board is secured in the relay case by two screws, one at the top and another at the bottom. Remove these screws carefully as they are not captive in the rear panel.
Chapter 15 - Maintenance and Troubleshooting MiCOM P747 2.5.4 REPLACEMENT OF THE POWER SUPPLY BOARD Caution: Before removing the front panel, you should be familiar with the contents of the Safety Information section of this guide or the Safety Guide SFTY/4LM, as well as the ratings on the equipment’s rating label.
MiCOM P747 Chapter 15 - Maintenance and Troubleshooting Although it is possible to carry out recalibration on site, this requires special test equipment and software. We therefore recommend that the work be carried out by the manufacturer, or entrusted to an approved service centre.
Chapter 15 - Maintenance and Troubleshooting MiCOM P747 TROUBLESHOOTING SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SOFTWARE The device includes several self-monitoring functions to check the operation of its hardware and software while in service. If there is a problem with the hardware or software, it should be able to detect and report the problem, and attempt to resolve the problem by performing a reboot.
MiCOM P747 Chapter 15 - Maintenance and Troubleshooting Test Check Action Error Code Identification These messages indicate that a problem has been detected on the IED’s The following text messages (in English) are displayed if a main processor board in the front panel. fundamental problem is detected, preventing the system from booting: Bus Fail –...
Chapter 15 - Maintenance and Troubleshooting MiCOM P747 Test Check Action The VT type field in the model number is incorrect (no VTs fitted) ERROR CODE DURING OPERATION The IED performs continuous self-checking. If the IED detects an error it displays an error message, logs a maintenance record and after a short delay resets itself.
MiCOM P747 Chapter 15 - Maintenance and Troubleshooting If the device does not correctly read the opto-input state, test the applied signal. Verify the connections to the opto-input using the wiring diagram and the nominal voltage settings in the OPTO CONFIG column. To do this: Select the nominal voltage for all opto-inputs by selecting one of the five standard ratings in the Global Nominal V cell.
