Page 73 G30 input even when the output is open, if there is a substantial distributed capacitance (represented by C1) present in the wiring between the output and the G30 input and the debounce time setting in the G30 relay is low enough.
Page 74 This example is for illustrative purposes only and the calculations present the worst-case scenario. In practice, the value of debounce time can be lower. Contact input ON state impedance used in the calculation of the discharge period is based on the following table. 3-22 G30 GENERATOR PROTECTION SYSTEM – INSTRUCTION MANUAL...
Page 75 Eq. 3-2 The 2 mA current is used in case the contact input is connected across the GE Form A contact output with voltage monitoring. Otherwise use the amperage of the active circuit connected to the contact input when its contact output is open and the voltage across the contact input is third trigger threshold to calculate the resistor value.
Page 76 The auto-burnish feature can be disabled or enabled using the DIP switches found on each daughter card. There is a DIP switch for each contact, for a total of 16 inputs. Figure 3-22: Auto-burnish DIP switches 3-24 G30 GENERATOR PROTECTION SYSTEM – INSTRUCTION MANUAL...
Page 77 In case of external devices that are susceptible to parasitic capacitance of long cable runs affected by switching surges from external circuits, that can cause inadvertent activation of contact inputs with the external contact open, GE recommends using the Digital I/O module with active impedance circuit.

Page 81 This common voltage is implied to be a power supply common. Some systems allow the shield (drain wire) to be used as common wire and to connect directly to the G30 COM terminal (#3); others function correctly only if the common wire is connected to the G30 COM terminal, but insulated from the shield.
Page 82: Irig-B
IRIG-B is a standard time code format that allows stamping of events to be synchronized among connected devices. The IRIG-B code allows time accuracies of up to 100 ns. Using the IRIG-B input, the G30 operates an internal oscillator with 1 µs resolution and accuracy.

Selected records can be cleared from user-programmable conditions with FlexLogic operands. Assigning user- programmable pushbuttons to clear specific records is a typical application 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.

Page 269 Setup for IRIG-B is illustrated in the Installation chapter. For the Other protocols, whenever a time synchronization message is received through any of the active protocols, the G30 clock updates. However, given that IEC 60870-5-103, IEC 60870-5-104, Modbus, and DNP are low-accuracy time synchronization methods, avoid their use for synchronization when better accuracy time protocols, such as IRIG-B and PTP, are active in the system.
Page 270 PRODUCT SETUP CHAPTER 5: SETTINGS The G30 supports the Precision Time Protocol (PTP) specified in IEEE Std 1588 2008 using the Power Profile (PP) specified in IEEE Std C37.238 2011. This enables the relay to synchronize to the international time standard over an Ethernet network that implements PP.

Page 307 In this standard, the arbitrary labeling of the windings is shown as I, II, and III. This standard states that the phase relationships are established for a condition where a source phase sequence of I-II-III is connected to transformer windings labeled I, II, and III respectively.

Page 308 The following example shows why this happens, using a transformer described in IEC nomenclature as a type “Yd1” or in GE Multilin nomenclature as a “Y/d30.” The example shows the physical connections within the transformer that produce a phase angle in the delta winding that lag the respective wye winding by 30°.
Page 309 Interposing 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 310 In this example, the unit CT is 1500:5 on winding 2. Magnitude compensation factors (M) are the scaling values by which each winding current is multiplied to refer it to the reference winding. The G30 calculates magnitude compensation factors for each winding as follows: Eq. 5-11 In our example, the magnitude compensation factors are calculated as follows: Eq.
Page 311 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.

Although the diagnostic information is cleared before the G30 is shipped from the factory, the user can want to clear the diagnostic information for themselves under certain circumstances. For example, you clear diagnostic information after replacement of hardware.
Page 511: Target Messages
A target enables the EnerVista UR Setup software to monitor automatically and display the status of any active target messages of all the devices inserted into that site. Each G30 element with a TARGET setting has a target message that when activated by its element is displayed in sequence with any other currently active target messages in the menu.

Page 523 The two sources are configured as follows. The G30 requires the use of the transformer windings settings for the differential element, even if the differential is applied only as a stator differential for the generator. These settings ensure that the differential element operates with the correct phase shifts, and applies the correct magnitude compensation.

Note that the G30 event records only show the “pickup delay” component, a definite time timer. This is exclusive of the time taken by the frequency responding component to pickup.
Page 537: Theory Of Operation
10.1.1 CT saturation detection The saturation detector of the G30 takes advantage of the fact that any CT operates correctly for a short period of time, even under very large primary currents that would subsequently cause a very deep saturation. As a result, in the case of an external fault, the differential current stays very low during the initial period of linear operation of the CTs while the restraining signal develops rapidly.
