UR models. 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 power line carriers (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.

Page 77 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 78 Contact inputs can be susceptible to parasitic capacitance, caused by long cable runs affected by switching surges from external circuits. This can result in inadvertent activation of contact inputs with the external contact open. In this case, GE recommends using the contact I/O module with active impedance circuit.

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. The GE MultiSync 100 1588 GPS Clock as well as third-party equipment are available for generating the IRIG-B signal.
Page 85: L60 Channel Communications
L60 channel communications 3.3.10 As described earlier in this chapter, L60 communication channels reside on the special CT/VT module (type 8P). This module allows for all possible 87PC scheme combinations (such as dual phase comparison or single-phase comparison, two- terminal or three-terminal applications) in one module. The scheme can be upgraded or changed at any time. The L60 channel interface requires an external battery to drive inputs and outputs.

5.2.2.1 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.
Page 214 Sources, in the context of L60 relays, refer to the logical grouping of current and voltage signals such that one source contains all the signals required to measure the load or fault in a particular power apparatus. A given source can contain all or some of the following signals: three-phase currents, single-phase ground current, three-phase voltages and an auxiliary voltages from a single-phase VT for checking for synchronism.
Page 215 Upon startup, the CPU configures the settings required to characterize the current and voltage inputs, and it displays them in the appropriate section in the sequence of the banks (as described earlier) as follows for a maximum configuration: F1, F5, L1, L5, S1, and S5.

Page 317 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 L60 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 318 See the Order Codes section in chapter 2 for details. The L60 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 633: Application Of Settings
8.1 87PC phase comparison element 8.1.1 Overview The L60 provides 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 comparison, 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 634 The L60 allows you to check and set channel symmetry without using an oscilloscope, by means of FlexLogic operands and applying the corresponding current to the relays, which in turn key the PLC and consequently measure MARK and SPACE signals on the oscillography.
Page 635: Settings Example
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 636: Distance/Backup Supervision
FD INPUT 8.2 Distance/backup supervision 8.2.1 Overview As an economical approach to supply customer load, many high voltage (HV) lines have transformers tapped to the lines. The figure shows a typical configuration. L60 LINE PHASE COMPARISON SYSTEM – INSTRUCTION MANUAL...
Page 637: Lines With Tapped Transformers
LV bus fault can result in a loss of sensitivity. If the tapped transformer is a source of zero sequence infeed, then the L60 zero-sequence current removal has to be enabled as described in the next section.
Page 638: Transformer Load Currents
8.2.3 Transformer load currents The L60 can be applied on the line with a tapped transformer. Since the tapped line can be energized from one terminal only, or there can be a low current flowing through the line, the phase-comparison element must set to provide stability.
Page 639: Tractional Load
8.2.6 Tractional load Where tractional load is tapped from the line protected by the L60, significant and variable negative-sequence current can exist on the line, thereby not allowing sensitive FDL and FDH settings. On such lines, it is beneficial to detect faults based on change in the sequence components of the currents.
Page 640 2%. If an internal fault is detected, the challenge is to provide starting transmitting signals at both ends and to have enough operating quantity for arming FDH to operate and to allow tripping. L60 LINE PHASE COMPARISON SYSTEM – INSTRUCTION MANUAL...
Page 641: Single-Pole Tripping Applications
DISTANCE/BACKUP SUPERVISION 8.2.8 Single-pole tripping applications The L60 provides functionality for single-pole tripping from 87PC, distance functions, or instantaneous overcurrent elements via the trip output element. 87PC can detect internal faults on the line but not faulted phases, since the phase currents are combined in one quantity.
Page 642: Phase Distance
The current supervision alone does not prevent maloperation in such circumstances. Keep in mind that the fuse failure element provided on the L60 needs some time to detect fuse fail conditions. This can 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.
Page 643: Pott Signaling Scheme
Ground directional overcurrent functions available in the relay can be used in conjunction with the Zone 2 distance element to key the scheme and initiate its operation. This provides increased coverage for high-resistance faults. L60 LINE PHASE COMPARISON SYSTEM – INSTRUCTION MANUAL 8-11...
Page 644: Series Compensated Lines
This situation is encountered when it is desired to account for the zero sequence inter-circuit mutual coupling. This is not a problem for the ground distance elements in the L60 that do have a current reversal logic built into their design as part of the technique used to improve ground fault directionality.
Page 645 As the characteristics of sub-synchronous oscillations are in complex relations with fault and system parameters, no solid setting recommendations are given with respect to extra security margin for sub-synchronous oscillations. It is strongly recommended to use a power system simulator to verify the reach settings or to use an adaptive L60 feature for dynamic reach control.

Page 647: Two-Breaker Configuration
8.5.2 Two-breaker configuration The L60 has extra security when two CTs are brought into the relay individually and summed internally. Two currents are processed separately to derive the operating signal for each breaker, which is then used for fault detectors and the forming of positive and negative squares.

Such a signal transmitted at B and received at A can be compared with the current at A to determine whether the two quantities are in phase or out of phase with each other.

The following figure shows the relative phase positions of the outputs of a positive sequence network, a negative sequence network, and a zero sequence network all referenced to phase A.

Page 661 There is the build up time in the receiver from the instant the signal appears at its input until the output reflects the change of state. This time plus the build up time in the transmitter is called the channel operating time. L60 LINE PHASE COMPARISON SYSTEM – INSTRUCTION MANUAL 9-13...

Page 664 When a fault occurs, FDL picks-up very fast to restore the keying function to SQ AMP. This operation resembles a blocking scheme, although it is often called a permissive tripping scheme. 9-16 L60 LINE PHASE COMPARISON SYSTEM – INSTRUCTION MANUAL...
Page 665 During external faults it is important that the blocking signal be isolated from the fault because loss of the signal can result in a false trip. The line traps provide this isolation. Figure 9-11: Single-phase comparison tripping scheme L60 LINE PHASE COMPARISON SYSTEM – INSTRUCTION MANUAL 9-17...
Page 666 This approach tends to make the blocking scheme resemble the tripping scheme since the receiver must now indicate an intact channel in order to trip. 9-18 L60 LINE PHASE COMPARISON SYSTEM – INSTRUCTION MANUAL...

Under such conditions, the single phase-comparison has to wait until the next positive half-cycle, while the dual phase-comparison can trip on the upcoming negative half-cycle. 9-20 L60 LINE PHASE COMPARISON SYSTEM – INSTRUCTION MANUAL...

There are a number of standard refinements that are required and normally included in all phase comparison schemes.

Page 671 Then, while this is taking place, the time delay pickup or dropout of the symmetry logic is adjusted so that the receiver yields a symmetrical output. Figure 9-15: Blocking scheme with symmetry and phase delay adjustments L60 LINE PHASE COMPARISON SYSTEM – INSTRUCTION MANUAL 9-23...

Page 674: Multi-Terminal Lines
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, increasing the differential restraint current.
Page 675 Since the zero- sequence voltage is not available, the L60 cannot compensate for the zero sequence current. The compensation scheme continues to work with the breakers open, provided that the voltages are measured on the line- side of the breakers.
Page 676: 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.
Page 677 The L60 implementation of a phase comparison relay uses a pair of short-window FIR filters to derive the D-Q components while providing for extra transient filtering.

Page 679 The ‘pulse’ combination logic ensures security and dependability. In this respect, a distinction must be made between tripping and blocking schemes. The following figure illustrates the dual breaker logic for permissive (section a) and blocking (section b) transmit schemes. L60 LINE PHASE COMPARISON SYSTEM – INSTRUCTION MANUAL 9-31...
Page 680 It must be kept in mind that the positive and negative pulses do not necessarily complement each other, and therefore, one must not substitute not(positive polarity) = negative polarity. 9-32 L60 LINE PHASE COMPARISON SYSTEM – INSTRUCTION MANUAL...
Page 681 The phase comparison algorithm has a well-understood security margin due to the averaging action of the trip integrators. The integrators deal with this kind of noise, yielding a predictable response that is transparent and easy to grasp by the user. L60 LINE PHASE COMPARISON SYSTEM – INSTRUCTION MANUAL 9-33...

Page 683 The coincidence condition is driving an explicitly implemented integrator (summator). In the L60, the integrator counts up by 10 units if the coincidence input is logic 1, counts down by 5 counts if the coincidence input is momentarily logic 0, and counts down by 20 if the input is in logic 0 for extended periods of time.
Page 684: Single-Pole Tripping
Figure 9-27: Trip integration logic (relay COMTRADE record) The L60 can be programmed to perform an automatic check-back. Under normal system conditions, a relay can initiate transmission and modulate the analog signal to exchange small amounts of information. The ability to abort in cases of system faults is a key to successful deployment.
