(see the Self-test Errors section in chapter 7) or control power is lost, the relay is de-energize. For high reliability systems, the L60 has a redundant option in which two L60 power supplies are placed in parallel on the bus.
The L60 uses a special CT/VT module not available on other UR-series relays. This type 8P module has four current inputs and special communications inputs/outputs for interfacing with PLCs. The communications interface requires an external DC source (station battery) to drive inputs/outputs as shown in the L60 channel communications section in this chapter.
The terminal configuration for contact inputs is different for the two applications. The contact inputs are grouped with a common return. The L60 has two versions of grouping: four inputs per common return and two inputs per common return. When a contact input/output module is ordered, four inputs per common is used.

3.2.7 RS232 FACEPLATE PORT A 9-pin RS232C serial port is located on the L60 faceplate for programming with a computer. All that is required to use this interface is a computer running the EnerVista UR Setup software provided with the relay. Cabling for the RS232 port is shown in the following figure for both 9-pin and 25-pin connectors.
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 L60 COM terminal (#3); others function cor- rectly only if the common wire is connected to the L60 COM terminal, but insulated from the shield.

BACKGROUND The L60 is ordered with two CT/VT modules. If two breakers are involved in an application, the current must be summed externally. With two CT/VT modules, the L60 allows the connection of two breaker CTs directly to the relay, processing the currents individually for some functions and summing them for other functions by employing the sources mechanism.

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.
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 L60 responds to rising edges of the configured FlexLogic operands, they must be asserted for at least 50 ms to take effect.
MESSAGE MIN TIME: 0 ms : The L60 is equipped with two independent serial communication ports. The faceplate RS485 COM2 BAUD RATE PARITY RS232 port is intended for local use and is fixed at 19200 bit/s baud and even parity. The rear COM2 port is RS485 and has settings for baud rate and parity.

ETHERNET NETWORK TOPOLOGY The L60 has three Ethernet ports. Each Ethernet port must belong to a different network or subnetwork. Configure the IP address and subnet to ensure that each port meets this requirement. Two subnets are different when the bitwise AND oper- ation performed between their respective IP address and mask produces a different result.

Figure 5–40: UR ARCHITECTURE OVERVIEW The states of all digital signals used in the L60 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.

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 516
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.
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.

The coincidence condition is driving an explicitly implemented integrator (summator).

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-sequence, positive-sequence, and negative-sequence currents for reliable analysis.

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 534
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.
In FD INPUT this example, the minimum internal three-phase fault is much more than twice the maximum line load current, so no distance element is assigned to the setting. FD INPUT GE Multilin L60 Line Phase Comparison System...
LV fault. For this system configuration, a 3-ter- minal L60 should be utilized; the third terminal is then fed from CT on the high side of the tapped transformer.
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.
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.
FDL and FDH, additional elements have to be assigned to 87PC FDL AUX and 87PC FDH AUX settings. These elements include distance, negative-sequence overvoltage, zero-sequence overvoltage, posi- tive-sequence undervoltage. GE Multilin L60 Line Phase Comparison System...
9.2.8 SINGLE-POLE TRIPPING APPLICATIONS The L60 provides functionality for single-pole tripping from 87PC, distance functions, or instantaneous overcurrent ele- ments via the trip output element. 87PC can detect internal faults on the line but not faulted phases, since the phase cur- rents are combined in one quantity.
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 instantaneous zone 1 and the fuse failure element. Therefore, for maximum security, it is recommended to both set the current supervision above the maximum load current and use the fuse failure function.
Similar to the phase fault case, a zone 3 element must be time coordinated with timed clearances on the next section. 9-10 L60 Line Phase Comparison System GE Multilin...
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.
L60 relay incorporates standard analog phase comparison principles. The L60 oscillography allows customer to observe not only AC waveforms and 87PC operate signals, but all details of compos- ite signal forming, fault detector operation, input and output processing, squares forming, coincidence detection, and inte- gration of the signal.
9.5.2 TWO BREAKER CONFIGURATION The L60 has extra security when 2 CTs are brought into the relay individually and summed internally. Two currents are pro- cessed separately to derive the operating signal for each breaker, which is then used for fault detectors and the forming of positive and negative squares.
The enhanced faceplate can be opened to the left, once the thumb screw has been removed, as shown below. This allows for easy accessibility of the modules for withdrawal. The new wide-angle hinge assembly in the enhanced front panel opens completely and allows easy access to all modules in the L60. 842812A1.CDR Figure 10–1: UR MODULE WITHDRAWAL AND INSERTION (ENHANCED FACEPLATE)

LAN environment. Actual MMS protocol services are mapped to IEC 61850 abstract ser- vices in IEC 61850-8-1. The L60 relay supports IEC 61850 server services over TCP/IP. The TCP/IP profile requires the L60 to have an IP address to establish communications. These addresses are located in the ...
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.
A limited number of measured analog values are available through the MMXU logical nodes. Each MMXU logical node provides data from a L60 current and voltage source. There is one MMXU available for each con- figurable source (programmed in the ...
Page 678
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.
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.
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 L60 will use the source Ether- net MAC address as the destination, with the multicast bit set.
Page 682
The L60 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 683
REMOTE IN 1 ITEM item to remote input 1. Remote input 1 can now be used in FlexLogic equations or other settings. 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.
GSSE and GOOSE messages must have multicast destination MAC addresses. By default, the L60 is configured to use an automated multicast MAC scheme. If the L60 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.
The L60 can be configured for IEC 61850 via the EnerVista UR Setup software as follows. 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 >...

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. There should be only one IED section in an ICD since it only describes one IED. C-14 L60 Line Phase Comparison System GE Multilin...

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 L60 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.
