2018-07 1. Overview KSR Capacitor Bank protection device has been designed to protect the capacitors from overload, over voltage and unbalance with the advanced and flexible microprocessor technology. A wide range of protection elements are supplemented by advanced features such as control, metering, data storage, fault recorder, remote communications, supervision and self-monitoring features.
2. Protection Function and Other Features 2.1 Introduction KSR device accepts 4 current inputs and 3 voltage inputs. A full range “Fast Fourier Transformation” is performed on the input data of all channels (3 Voltage channels, 4 Current channels). Thus provides information about the harmonic contents which distort the sine waveform of the current and voltage channels.
DTL (definite time lag) characteristic as described in section 3. Samples of the current input signals are taken at a frequency of 12.8 kHz. This enables KSR to act as a True RMS measuring device (TRMS) over a wide frequency range.
Rev. 13 Capacitor Bank Protection-Relay KSR 2018-07 2.2.4 Output contacts KSR relays are available with two types of output contacts two change over contacts four normally open contacts Output contacts are user programmable to operate from protection characteristic, DTL for different protection functions and relay self-monitoring feature (watchdog).
2.3.3 Alarm system The KSR allows the programming of the output relays to produce alarms or trips. The alarm or trip system works with two separate facilities: The output relays can be programmed separately. Each relay implements an inversion feature as well as a hold state in which the user must manually reset the relay after activating alarm or trip has become Please check Appendix A for detailed explaination of thermal damping function.
2.3.5 Fault recorder If the KSR is equipped with the integrated fault recorder, it is possible to store each triggered Alarm event. The integrated fault recorder of the KSR provides 64 memory cells. Each of them stores one Event (ON/OFF).

ALARM XX: Shows which alarm was triggered Alarm active OFF: Alarm inactive DATE: Date of the alarm event.
After turning on the supply power, the KSR automatically starts with displaying values of the measurement menu. The key, which is labelled with capital letters „M“ can be used to switch to the main menu.

Reference Manual Rev. 13 Capacitor Bank Protection-Relay KSR 2018-07 2.3.6.2 Menu “measurement” This menu holds nearly all the measured values. Each value is displayed together with its name (VLN, Ith,... ) and its origin (L1, L2, L3, N). The units of the measured values are also displayed. Use keys „“ and „“ to select from the variety of measured values.

Key ““ selects the data source (voltages, currents), ““ and ““ move the display to higher and lower harmonics. The index, which is shown with each harmonic, specifies its order.

(„2402“). Because of the huge amount of setup possibilities, a set of submenus is used. At certain points the user will be confronted with the need to enter numeric values. The KSR will prompt with the old or a default value. One digit of this value will be marked with a “-“ below it. Now this digit can be changed with the „+“...

Reference Manual Rev. 13 Capacitor Bank Protection-Relay KSR 2018-07 2.3.6.7 Menu “setup->relay” Setup for the relays: „normally open normally closed“ - this selects the relay inversion. If one chooses „normally open“, the relay will be open in inactive state and it will close on activation. “normally closed” inverts this behaviour.
