B-PRO has two working modes—online and offline. In the online mode you can use any communication software package (e.g. Procomm or HyperTermi- nal) to connect to the B-PRO using VT100 terminal emulation. In online mode you can: • change and review relay settings •...
15. 18 ac current inputs Figure 1.5: B-PRO Back View AC Current and B-PRO is provided with terminal blocks for up to 18 ac currents and 3 phase Voltage Inputs to neutral voltages. Each of the current input circuits has polarity (•) marks.
1 Overview Model Options/Ordering B-PRO is available as a horizontal mount, for details see “Mechanical Draw- ings” in Appendix G. B-PRO is available with an internal modem card or internal network card. The CT inputs are 1 A nominal or 5 A nominal. The external inputs are 48/125 Vdc or 125/250 Vdc.
Relay Functional LED. Case Grounding You must ground the relay to the station ground using the case-grounding ter- minal at the back of the relay, for details see for details see Figure 1.4: B-PRO Front View on page 1-3. WARNING! To ensure safety and proper operation you must connect the relay to the station ground using the rear grounding terminal on the relay.

4 Protection Functions Differential Zone Selection and CT Input Assignment The B-PRO can be configured for a number of different differential zones. These zones are defined as: • Bus1 • Bus1 and Transformer • Transformer Only • Bus1 and Bus2 Bus1 zone allows up to 6 current inputs to be used in the bus differential zone (87B-1).
Page 46
IR (pu) Figure 4.2: Bus Differential Characteristic CT Saturation The B-PRO bus protection includes a significant improvement to the tradition- Detector al two slope differential characteristic that provides immunity to CT mismatch and minimal CT saturation sensitivity for external faults. The CT saturation de- tector detects all CT saturation conditions for external faults and blocks the dif- fferential protection from operating.
Page 47
When enabled, you set a timer to control how long you want an external CT saturation condition to block the differential protection. Normally you would set this timer to be slightly longer than your maximum clearing time for an ex- ternal fault. D01908R02.12 B-PRO User Manual 8700...

• Recorder triggering by any internal logic or external input signal Swing Recording The B-PRO records dynamic system responses allowing you to analyze system stability and to provide a larger context for fault analysis. Swing records con- tain positive sequence phasor measurements and system frequency calculated at a rate of 1 phasor per cycle.
Page 66
The B-PRO compresses records on the fly, achieving a typical lossless com- pression rate of 4:1. As a result, the B-PRO can store up to 30 seconds of fault recordings and up to 24 minutes of swing recordings in non-volatile storage. If the storage is full, new records automatically overwrite the oldest, ensuring that the recording function is always available.

B-PRO relay. The Digital Signal Processor (DSP) on a MPB performs the protective relaying functions of the B-PRO, separate from the 486 CPU. It has its own flash mem- ory and self-checking, for fully independent operation.

The B-PRO Bus Protection Relay provides low-impedance differential protec- tion for transmission and distribution buses, for up to 6 three-phase inputs. The B-PRO is a per-unit based relay, meaning all secondary currents entering the relay are converted to per-unit values for protection calculations. Choosing the correct per-unit base for the current permits the development of standard pro- tection settings that work for most bus protection applications.

Appendix K Bus Differential Function Setting Examples While performing setting calculations for the B-PRO, the IO operate current is calculated by the equation: The restraint current IR calculation is: Settings Philosophy The recommended settings method described in this technical note is simple: choose the MVA Base setting of the relay such that the maximum bus transfer load current is equal to the IRs setting in per-unit current.

The IRs setting determines the break point between the slope S1 and slope S2. The IRs setting is also the upper limit of the load range of the B-PRO. For this recommended settings method, the maximum bus transfer current is equal to IRs in per-unit current.
Page 155
Appendix K Bus Differential Function Setting Examples Figure K.6: System Parameters settings The maximum relay setting for the Bus Base MVA in the B-PRO is 10000 MVA. If the calculated Bus Base MVA exceeds this value, choose the next higher whole number value for IRs (3 per-unit in this example), and re-calcu- late the Bus Base MVA.

320 - 0 = 320 primary amps. On a 1200 A base this is 0.27 per-unit, which is above the recommended setting for IOmin, namely 0.25 per-unit. For this case, it is recommended to set IOmin to 0.4 per-unit in order to prevent possible false tripping of the bus. Appendix K-6 B-PRO User Manual 8700 D01908R02.12...
