1.1 IMPORTANT PROCEDURES 1 GETTING STARTED 1.1IMPORTANT PROCEDURES Read this chapter to help guide you through the initial setup of your new G30 Generator Protection System. 1.1.1 CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS Before attempting to install or use the device, review all safety indicators in this document to help prevent injury, equipment damage, or downtime.
For product information, instruction manual updates, and the latest software updates, visit the GE Digital Energy website at http://www.gedigitalenergy.com. If there is any noticeable physical damage, or any of the contents listed are missing, please contact GE Digital Energy immediately.
This new generation of equipment is easily incorporated into automation systems, at both the station and enterprise levels. The GE Multilin Uni- versal Relay (UR) series meets these goals.
Page 14
The UR-series devices operate in a cyclic scan fashion. The device reads the inputs into an input status table, solves the logic program (FlexLogic equation), and then sets each output to the appropriate state in an output status table. Any result- ing task execution is priority interrupt-driven. Figure 1–3: UR-SERIES SCAN OPERATION G30 Generator Protection System GE Multilin...
Employing OOD/OOP in the software architecture of the G30 achieves the same features as the hardware architecture: modularity, scalability, and flexibility. The application software for any UR-series device (for example, feeder protection, transformer protection, distance protection) is constructed by combining objects from the various functional classes.
Ethernet port of the same type as one of the UR CPU ports or a LAN connection to the UR • Internet access or a DVD drive The following qualified modems have been tested to be compliant with the G30 and the EnerVista UR Setup software: • US Robotics external 56K FaxModem 5686 •...
OVERVIEW The user can connect remotely to the G30 through the rear RS485 port or the rear Ethernet port with a computer running the EnerVista UR Setup software. The G30 can also be accessed locally with a computer through the front panel RS232 port or the rear Ethernet port using the Quick Connect feature.
Page 18
A computer with an RS232 port and a serial cable is required. To use the RS485 port at the back of the relay, a GE Multilin F485 converter (or compatible RS232-to-RS485 converter) is required. See the F485 instruction manual for details.

INTRODUCTION The G30 can interface with associated circuit breakers. In many cases the application monitors the state of the breaker, that can be presented on faceplate LEDs, along with a breaker trouble indication. Breaker operations can be manually initi- ated from faceplate keypad or automatically initiated from a FlexLogic operand.

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 G30 applies a cut- off value to the magnitudes and angles of the measured currents.
Selected records can be cleared from user-programmable conditions with FlexLogic operands. Assigning user-programma- ble pushbuttons to clear specific records are typical applications for these commands. Since the G30 responds to rising edges of the configured FlexLogic operands, they must be asserted for at least 50 ms to take effect.
0 ms The G30 is equipped with two independent serial communication ports. The faceplate RS232 port is intended for local use and is fixed at 19200 baud and no parity. The rear COM2 port is RS485. The RS485 port has settings for baud rate and par- ity.

TIMEOUT: 120 s The G30 supports the Distributed Network Protocol (DNP) version 3.0. The G30 can be used as a DNP slave device con- nected to multiple DNP masters (usually an RTU or a SCADA master station). Since the G30 maintains two sets of DNP data change buffers and connection information, two DNP masters can actively communicate with the G30 at one time.
Page 159
DNP analog input points that are voltages will be returned with values 1000 times smaller (for example, a value of 72000 V on the G30 will be returned as 72). These settings are useful when analog input values must be adjusted to fit within cer- tain ranges in DNP masters.

(for circuit breakers) or raise/lower (for tap changers) using a single control point. That is, the DNP master can operate a single point for both trip and close, or raise and lower, operations. The G30 can be configured to support paired control points, with each paired control point operating two virtual inputs.
Page 161
The G30 supports the Manufacturing Message Specification (MMS) protocol as specified by IEC 61850. MMS is supported over two protocol stacks: TCP/IP over Ethernet. The G30 operates as an IEC 61850 server. The Remote inputs and out- puts section in this chapter describe the peer-to-peer GSSE/GOOSE message scheme.

DESTINATION MAC address; the least significant bit of the first byte must be set. In G30 releases previous to 5.0x, the destination Ethernet MAC address was determined automatically by taking the sending MAC address (that is, the unique, local MAC address of the G30) and setting the multicast bit.

The settings specific to each winding are shown above. The following discussion is applicable to the G30 device protecting the GSU, assuming that the LV winding CTs are on the neutral side of the generator and the HV winding CTs are on the system side of the step-up delta-wye transformer. It is also assumed that CTs are differentially connected as per regular transformer differential applications, as shown in the Typical wiring, VT on the LV side of the Transformer diagram in the Applications of Settings chapter.
Page 219
The reason the source phase sequence must be stated when describing the winding phase relationships is that these rela- tionships change when the phase sequence changes. The example shown below shows why this happens, using a trans- former described in IEC nomenclature as a type “Yd1” or in GE Multilin nomenclature as a “Y/d30.” GE Multilin...
Page 220
Note that the delta winding currents leads the wye winding currents by 30°, (which is a type Yd11 in IEC nomenclature and a type Y/d330 in GE Multilin nomenclature) which is in disagreement with the transformer nameplate. This is because the physical connections and hence the equations used to calculate current for the delta winding have not changed.
Page 221
CTs or tapped relay windings were used to minimize this error. The G30 automatically corrects for CT mismatch errors. All currents are magnitude compensated to be in units of the CTs of one winding before the calculation of differential and restraint quantities.
Page 222
The G30 performs this phase angle compensation and zero sequence removal automatically, based on the settings entered for the transformer. All CTs are connected Wye (polarity markings pointing away from the transformer). All currents are phase and zero sequence compensated internally before the calculation of differential and restraint quantities.

Figure 5–40: UR ARCHITECTURE OVERVIEW The states of all digital signals used in the G30 are represented by flags (or FlexLogic operands, which are described later in this section). A digital “1” is represented by a 'set' flag. Any external contact change-of-state can be used to block an ele- ment from operating, as an input to a control feature in a FlexLogic equation, or to operate a contact output.

LAN environment. Actual MMS protocol services are mapped to IEC 61850 abstract ser- vices in IEC 61850-8-1. The G30 relay supports IEC 61850 server services over TCP/IP. The TCP/IP profile requires the G30 to have an IP address to establish communications. These addresses are located in the ...
APPENDIX C C.1.3 FILE TRANSFER BY IEC 61850 The G30 supports file transfer by IEC 61850. The approach is as follows, using the SISCO AX-S4 61850 client software as an example. In the AX-S4 61850 Explorer window, click the Tools menu and access the SISCO File Transfer Utility.
C.2.2 GGIO1: DIGITAL STATUS VALUES The GGIO1 logical node is available in the G30 to provide access to as many 128 digital status points and associated time- stamps and quality flags. The data content must be configured before the data can be used. GGIO1 provides digital status points for access by clients.
C.2.6 MMXU: ANALOG MEASURED VALUES A limited number of measured analog values are available through the MMXU logical nodes. Each MMXU logical node provides data from a G30 current and voltage source. There is one MMXU available for each configurable source (programmed in the ...
Page 589
The protection elements listed above contain start (pickup) and operate flags. For example, the start flag for PIOC1 is PIOC1.ST.Str.general. The operate flag for PIOC1 is PIOC1.ST.Op.general. For the G30 protection elements, these flags take their values from the pickup and operate FlexLogic operands for the corresponding element.
C.3.4 LOGICAL DEVICE NAME The logical device name is used to identify the IEC 61850 logical device that exists within the G30. This name is composed of two parts: the IED name setting and the logical device instance. The complete logical device name is the combination of the two character strings programmed in the settings.
A built-in TCP/IP connection timeout of two minutes is employed by the G30 to detect ‘dead’ connections. If there is no data traffic on a TCP connection for greater than two minutes, the connection will be aborted by the G30. This frees up the con- nection to be used by other clients.
MAC address for GSSE messages. If GSSE DESTINATION MAC ADDRESS a valid multicast Ethernet MAC address is not entered (for example, 00 00 00 00 00 00), the G30 will use the source Ether- net MAC address as the destination, with the multicast bit set.
Page 593
The G30 has the ability of detecting if a data item in one of the GOOSE datasets is erroneously oscillating. This can be caused by events such as errors in logic programming, inputs improperly being asserted and de-asserted, or failed station components.
Page 594
REMOTE IN 1 ITEM item to remote input 1. Remote input 1 can now be used in FlexLogic equations or other settings. The G30 must be rebooted (control power removed and re-applied) before these settings take effect. The value of remote input 1 (Boolean on or off) in the receiving device will be determined by the GGIO1.ST.Ind1.stVal value in the sending device.
GSSE and GOOSE messages must have multicast destination MAC addresses. By default, the G30 is configured to use an automated multicast MAC scheme. If the G30 destination MAC address setting is not a valid multicast address (that is, the least significant bit of the first byte is not set), the address used as the destina- tion MAC will be the same as the local MAC address, but with the multicast bit set.
An ICD file is generated for the G30 by the EnerVista UR Setup software that describe the capabilities of the IED. The ICD file is then imported into a system configurator along with other ICD files for other IEDs (from GE or other ven- dors) for system configuration.
Transmission GOOSE dataset may be added or deleted, or prefixes of some logical nodes may be changed. While all new configurations will be mapped to the G30 settings file when importing an SCD file, all unchanged settings will preserve the same values in the new settings file.
Although configurable transmission GOOSE can also be created and altered by some third-party system con- figurators, we recommend configuring transmission GOOSE for GE Multilin IEDs before creating the ICD, and strictly within EnerVista UR Setup software or the front panel display (access through the Settings > Product Setup > Com- munications >...

Furthermore, it defines the capabilities of an IED in terms of communication services offered and, together with its LNType, instantiated data (DO) and its default or configuration values.

The EnerVista UR Setup will prompt to save the file. Select the file path and enter the name for the ICD file, then click OK to generate the file. The time to create an ICD file from the offline G30 settings file is typically much quicker than create an ICD file directly from the relay.

The software will open the SCD file and then prompt the user to save a UR-series settings file. Select a location and name for the URS (UR-series relay settings) file. If there is more than one GE Multilin IED defined in the SCD file, the software prompt the user to save a UR-series set- tings file for each IED.
