Very often the XRI1-ER can be found as backup protection at the central earthing point of the system. It detects all earth faults occuring in the system. In this case the trip delay selected must exceed the longest time delay setting of any other earthing protection used in the system.

By applying the aux. voltage C2/C2L or C2/C2H, indication and output relays are reset. (see chapter 6.3) 3.1.4 Output relays The XRI1-ER is equipped with 5 output relays. Apart from the relay for self-supervision, all protective functions can be optionally assigned: ...
Manual XRI1-ER 3.1.5 Data communication For data communication with a central control system the XRI1-ER relay is provided with a serial interface RS485. Simplified and fast reading and changing of parameters and measuring values can be achieved by HTL/PL-Soft4, which will be provided on request together with the relay.
The front plate of protection relays comprises the following operation and indication elements: Alphanumerical display (4 Digits) Push buttons for setting and other operations LEDs for measured value indication and setting Figure 3.4: Front plate XRI1-ER TD_XRI1-ER_12.03, Rev. C...

The LED left from the display, E is partially bi-colored, the green indicating measuring, and the red fault indica- tion. XRI1-ER with directional feature have a LED (green- and red arrow) for the directional display. At pickup/trip and parameter setting the green LED lights up to indicate the forward direction, the red LED indicates the re- verse direction.
Digital circuits The essential part of the XRI1-ER relay is a powerful microcontroller. All of the operations, from the analog digi- tal conversion to the relay trip decision, are carried out by the microcontroller digitally. The relay program is lo- cated in an EPROM (Electrically-Programmable-Read-Only-Memory).
4.3.2 System earth fault protection With the generator neutral point earthed as shown in figure 4.2, the XRI1-ER picks up only to earth faults in the power system connected to the generator. It does not pick up to earth faults on the generator terminals or in generator stator.
Woodward Manual XRI1-ER Earth-fault directional feature A built-in earth-fault directional element is available for applications to power networks with isolated or with arc suppressing coil compensated neutral point. For earth-fault direction detection it is mainly the question to evaluate the power flow direction in zero sequence system.

Woodward Manual XRI1-ER 5.1.1 Indication of measuring values and fault data Indication in faultless condition In normal operation the display always shows WW. After pressing the push button <SELECT/RESET> the dis- play switches cyclically to the next measuring value. After the measuring values had been indicated the set-ting parameters are displayed.

The XRI1-ER-relay is delivered with the preset password "++++", it can be programmed new with dip switch 1: Switch on dip switch 1. After power on and pressing any push button, the relay XRI1-ER inquires for a new password. The text "PSW?" appears on the display. The new password is entered by any combination of the push buttons <SELECT>...
5.5.2 Blocking the protection function The blocking function of the XRI1-ER-relays can be set according to requirement. When pressing push buttons <ENTER> and <TRIP> at the same time the blocking mode is entered.
Low/high range of functions blocking and reset The XRI1-ER have a wide-range power supply unit al-lowing to choose a suitable supply voltage. The operating threshold of the blocking and reset inputs, however, has to be defined by taking the supply voltage into account.
Manual XRI1-ER Woodward 6. Operations and settings Setting procedure After push button <SELECT/RESET> has been pressed, always the next measuring value is indicated. Firstly the operating measuring values are indicated and then the setting parameters. By pressing the <ENTER> push button the setting values can directly be called up and changed.

Manual XRI1-ER Woodward 6.1.9 Circuit breaker failure protection t CBFP The CB failure protection is based on supervision of phase currents during tripping events. Only after tripping this protective function becomes active. The test in this case by supervision of the earth current criterion is whether earth currents are dropped to <1% x IN within the time t...
Assignment of the output relays: Unit XRI1-ER has five output relays. The fifth output relay is provided as permanent alarm relay for self supervi- sion is normally on. Output relays 1 - 4 are normally off and can be assigned as alarm or tripping re-lays to the current functions which can either be done by using the push buttons on the front plate or via serial interface RS485.

The other input energizing quantity (current) and phase angle shall be appropriately varied. XRI1-ER is a three phase directional time overcurrent relay with relay connection angle of -0°.

Woodward Manual XRI1-ER In order to test the directional feature, parameters have to be set in compliance with table 7.2. Then a test volt- age equivalent to the rated voltage is connected to terminals L1/N1 and a current of 0.4 x In is impressed upon the current inputs 1E1/1E2.
0.3% or 0.03% In. By using an RMS-metering instrument, a greater deviation may be ob-served if the test cur- rent contains harmonics. Because the XRI1-ER relay measures only the fundamental component of the input signals, the harmonics will be rejected by the internal DFFT-digital filter. Whereas the RMS-metering instrument measures the RMS-value of the input signals.
Woodward Manual XRI1-ER 7.4.7 Checking the external blocking and reset functions The external blocking input inhibits e. g. the function of the high set element of the phase current. To test the blocking function apply auxiliary supply voltage to the external blocking input of the relay (terminals C1/C1L or C1/C1H).
In case of a XRI1-ER re-lay with directional feature, the active and reactive parts of the measured currents may be checked and the actual power factor may be calculated and compared it with the cosφ...
