Signal Sources - GE C60 Instruction Manual

5.3 SYSTEM SETUP
The phase sequence of the power system is required to properly calculate sequence components and power parameters.
The
PHASE ROTATION
actual system phase sequence, either ABC or ACB. CT and VT inputs on the relay, labeled as A, B, and C, must be con-
nected to system phases A, B, and C for correct operation.
The
FREQUENCY AND PHASE REFERENCE
phase angle reference. The AC signal used is prioritized based on the AC inputs that are configured for the signal source:
phase voltages takes precedence, followed by auxiliary voltage, then phase currents, and finally ground current.
For three phase selection, phase A is used for angle referencing (
phase signals is used for frequency metering and tracking (
ing fault, open pole, and VT and CT fail conditions.
The phase reference and frequency tracking AC signals are selected based upon the Source configuration, regardless of
whether or not a particular signal is actually applied to the relay.
Phase angle of the reference signal will always display zero degrees and all other phase angles will be relative to this sig-
nal. If the pre-selected reference signal is not measurable at a given time, the phase angles are not referenced.
The phase angle referencing is done via a phase locked loop, which can synchronize independent UR relays if they have
the same AC signal reference. These results in very precise correlation of time tagging in the event recorder between differ-
ent UR relays provided the relays have an IRIG-B connection.

There are up to 4 identical Source setting menus available, numbered from 1 to 4.
"SRC 1" can be replaced by whatever name is defined by the user for the associated source.
'F', 'U', and 'M' are module slot position letters. The number following the letter represents either the first bank of four chan-
nels (1, 2, 3, 4) called '1' or the second bank of four channels (5, 6, 7, 8) called '5' in a particular CT/VT module. Refer to the
INTRODUCTION TO AC SOURCES section at the beginning of this chapter for additional details.
It is possible to select the sum of any combination of CTs. The first channel displayed is the CT to which all others will be
referred. For example, the selection "F1+F5" indicates the sum of each phase from channels "F1" and "F5", scaled to
whichever CT has the higher ratio. Selecting "None" hides the associated actual values.
The approach used to configure the AC Sources consists of several steps; first step is to specify the information about each
CT and VT input. For CT inputs, this is the nominal primary and secondary current. For VTs, this is the connection type,
ratio and nominal secondary voltage. Once the inputs have been specified, the configuration for each Source is entered,
including specifying which CTs will be summed together.

setting matches the power system phase sequence. Note that this setting informs the relay of the

should only be set to "Disabled" in very unusual circumstances; consult the factory for spe-
