Application

84T provides tap position information for other functions as a signed integer value that can
be fed to the tap position input.
The position information of the tap changer can be coded in various methods for many
applications, for example, the differential protection algorithms. In this function, the
binary inputs in the transformer terminal connector are used as inputs to the function. The
coding method can be chosen by setting the mode parameter. The available coding
methods are BCD, Gray and Natural binary coding. Since the number of binary inputs are
limited to seven, the coding functions are limited to seven bits including the sign bit and
thus the six bits are used in the coding functions. The position limits for the tap positions
at BCD, Gray and Natural binary coding are ±39, ±63 and ±63 respectively.
In this example, the transformer tap changer position indication is wired as a mA signal
from the corresponding measuring transducer. The position indication is connected to
input 1 (AI_VAL1) of the X130 (RTD) card. The tap changer operating range from the
minimum to maximum turns of the tap and a corresponding mA signal for the tap position
are set in X130(RTD). Since the values of the X130(RTD) outputs are floating point
numbers, the float to integer (T_F32_INT8) conversion is needed before the tap position
information can be fed to 84T. When there is a wired connection to the TAP_POS
connector, the validated tap changer position is presented in the TAP_POS output that is
connected to other functions. When there is no wired connection to the TAP_POS
connector, the binary inputs are expected to be used for the tap changer position
information.
