  • Page 30: Battery Tab

    1.5.5 BATTERY TAB The battery tab is installed in the power supply module before the L60 shipped from the factory. The battery tab prolongs battery life in the event the relay is powered down for long periods of time before installation. The battery is responsible for backing up event records, oscillography, data logger, and real-time clock information when the relay is powered off.
  • Page 31: Commissioning

    The L60 requires a minimum amount of maintenance when it is commissioned into service. Since the L60 is a microproces- sor-based relay, its characteristics do not change over time. As such, no further functional tests are required. Furthermore, the L60 performs a number of continual self-tests and takes the necessary action in case of any major errors (see the Relay Self-Test section in Chapter 7 for details).

    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 L60 applies a cut- off value to the magnitudes and angles of the measured currents.
  • Page 112 The L60 applies a cut-off value to the magnitudes and angles of the measured voltages. If the magnitude is below the cut-off level, it is substituted with zero.
  • Page 113: Clear Relay Records

    Selected records can be cleared from user-programmable conditions with FlexLogic™ operands. Assigning user-program- mable pushbuttons to clear specific records are typical applications for these commands. Since the L60 responds to rising edges of the configured FlexLogic™ operands, they must be asserted for at least 50 ms to take effect.
  • Page 114: Communications

    0 ms The L60 is equipped with up to three independent serial communication ports. The faceplate RS232 port is intended for local use and is fixed at 19200 baud and no parity. The rear COM1 port type is selected when ordering: either an Ethernet or RS485 port.
  • Page 115 MODBUS SLAVE ADDRESS grammed. For the RS485 ports each L60 must have a unique address from 1 to 254. Address 0 is the broadcast address which all Modbus slave devices listen to.

  • Page 117 TIMEOUT: 120 s The L60 supports the Distributed Network Protocol (DNP) version 3.0. The L60 can be used as a DNP slave device con- nected to multiple DNP masters (usually an RTU or a SCADA master station). Since the L60 maintains two sets of DNP data change buffers and connection information, two DNP masters can actively communicate with the L60 at one time.
  • Page 118 DNP analog input points that are voltages will be returned with values 1000 times smaller (for example, a value of 72000 V on the L60 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.

  • Page 120 The L60 supports the Manufacturing Message Specification (MMS) protocol as specified by IEC 61850. MMS is supported over two protocol stacks: TCP/IP over ethernet and TP4/CLNP (OSI) over ethernet. The L60 operates as an IEC 61850 server. The Remote Inputs/Outputs section in this chapter describe the peer-to-peer GSSE/GOOSE message scheme.
  • Page 121 IEC 61850 GSSE application ID name string sent as part of each GSSE message. This GSSE ID string identifies the GSSE message to the receiving device. In L60 releases previous to 5.0x, this name string was repre- sented by the setting.
  • Page 122 DESTINATION MAC address; the least significant bit of the first byte must be set. In L60 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 L60) and setting the multicast bit.
  • Page 123 DNA and UserSt bit pairs that are included in GSSE messages. To set up a L60 to receive a configurable GOOSE dataset that contains two IEC 61850 single point status indications, the following dataset items can be selected (for example, for configurable GOOSE dataset 1): “GGIO3.ST.Ind1.stVal” and “GGIO3.ST.Ind2.stVal”.

  • Page 128 THRESHOLD: 30000 The L60 supports the IEC 60870-5-104 protocol. The L60 can be used as an IEC 60870-5-104 slave device connected to a maximum of two masters (usually either an RTU or a SCADA master station). Since the L60 maintains two sets of IEC 60870-5-104 data change buffers, no more than two masters should actively communicate with the L60 at one time.

    For short transmission lines the charging current is a small factor and can therefore be treated as an unknown error. In this application the L60 can be deployed without voltage sensors and the line charging current is included as a constant term in the total variance, increas- ing the differential restraint current.
  • Page 402 Since the zero-sequence volt- age is not available, the L60 cannot compensate for the zero sequence current. The compensation scheme continues to work with the breakers open, provided the voltages are measured on the line side of the breakers.
  • Page 403: L60 Signal Processing

    The L60 samples currents and voltage inputs at a rate of 64 samples per cycle. Current samples are pre-filtered using band-pass Finite Response Filters (FIR), with a weighted average of signal samples in a selected data window, to remove the decaying DC component and low-frequency distortions.

    8 THEORY OF OPERATION 8.2.2 PHASE SELECTION The L60 uses phase relations between current symmetrical components for phase selection. First, the algorithm validates if there is enough zero, positive, and negative-sequence currents for reliable analysis. The comparison is adaptive; that is, the magnitudes of the three symmetrical components used mutually as restraints confirm if a given component is large enough to be used for phase selection.

    9 APPLICATION OF SETTINGS 9.1PHASE COMPARISON ELEMENT 87PC 9.1.1 DESCRIPTION The L60 Phase Comparison relay is designed to provide high-speed protection of transmission lines against all phase and ground faults when operated in the “mixed-excitation” mode. The term “mixed-excitation”, when applied to phase compari- son, describes a scheme that first mixes different sequence quantities in a given proportion and phase angle, then performs a phase-comparison based on this mix.
  • Page 416 Different methods can be used. The L60 allows the customer to check and set phase delay without using an oscilloscope and by means of FlexLogic™ operands and applying the corresponding current to both relays. Oscillography shows the time difference (including PLC delay and line propagation time) between local and remote signals.

  • Page 419: Lines With Tapped Transformers

    9.2.3 TRANSFORMER LOAD CURRENTS The L60 can be applied on the line with a tapped transformer. Since the tapped line may be energized from one terminal only, or there may be a low current flowing through the line, the phase-comparison element must set to provide stability.
  • Page 420: Tractional Load

    9.2 DISTANCE BACKUP/SUPERVISION 9 APPLICATION OF SETTINGS The L60 measures total harmonic distortion (THD) in all three phase currents and neutral current. These measurements are available for protection purposes though FlexElements™ (universal comparators). The FlexElement™ output can be used to block sensitive neutral instantaneous overcurrent or phase comparison on transformer energization.

    The current supervision alone would not prevent maloperation in such circumstances. It must be kept in mind that the fuse failure element provided on the L60 needs some time to detect fuse fail conditions. This may create a race between the Zone 2 and the fuse failure element. Therefore, for maximum security, it is recom- mended to both set the current supervision above the maximum load current and use the Fuse Failure function.
  • Page 425: Description

    This situation is encountered when it is desired to account for the zero sequence inter-circuit mutual cou- pling. This is not a problem for the ground distance elements in the L60 which do have a current reversal logic built into their design as part of the technique used to improve ground fault directionality.

  • Page 513: C.1.1 Introduction

    The L60 relay supports IEC 61850 server services over both TCP/IP and TP4/CLNP (OSI) communication protocol stacks. The TP4/CLNP profile requires the L60 to have a network address or Network Service Access Point (NSAP) to establish a communication link. The TCP/IP profile requires the L60 to have an IP address to establish communications. These addresses are located in the menu.

    C.2.2 GGIO1: DIGITAL STATUS VALUES The GGIO1 logical node is available in the L60 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.

  • Page 516 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 L60 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 L60. 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.
  • Page 518: C.3.6 Logical Node Name Prefixes

    A built-in TCP/IP connection timeout of two minutes is employed by the L60 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 L60. This frees up the con- nection to be used by other clients.

The L60 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.

    An ICD file is generated for the L60 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 L60 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 >...
