  • Page 14: Working Principle

    Woodward Manual XRN2 4. Working principle Analog circuits The input voltages are galvanically insulated by the input transformers. The noise signals caused by inductive and capacitive coupling are suppressed by an analog R-C filter circuit. The analog voltage signals are fed to the A/D-converter of the microprocessor and transformed to digital signals through Sample- and Hold- circuits.
  • Page 15: Selection Of Star Or Delta Connection

    Manual XRN2 Woodward 4.3.1 Selection of star or delta connection All connections of the input voltage transformers are led to screw terminals. The nominal voltage of the device is equal to the nominal voltage of the input transformers. Dependent on the application the input transformers can be connected in either delta or star.
  • Page 16: Principle Of Frequency Supervision

    Woodward Manual XRN2 Principle of frequency supervision The frequency element of XRN2 protects electrical generators, consumers or electrical operating equipment in general against over- or underfrequency. The relay has independent three frequency elements f with a free choice of parameters, with separate ad- justable pickup values and delay times.
  • Page 17: Vector Surge Supervision (Xrn2-1)

    Manual XRN2 Woodward Vector surge supervision (XRN2-1) The vector surge supervision protects synchronous generators in mains parallel operation due to very fast de- coupling in case of mains failure. Very dangerous are mains auto reclosings for synchronous generators. The mains voltage returning after 300 ms can hit the generator in asynchronous position. A very fast de-coupling is also necessary in case of long time mains failures.
  • Page 18 Woodward Manual XRN2 Important Information on the Vector Surge Supervision: Single Phase Vector Supervision "1-of-3" ("1Ph" on the Display) Within the Area „Safe Area“ the trip decision depends on the set Angle „Delta phi“ only (please refer to figure Single Phase Vector Surge Supervision).
  • Page 19: Measuring Principle Of Vector Surge Supervision

    Manual XRN2 Woodward 4.6.1 Measuring principle of vector surge supervision When a synchronous generator is loaded, a rotor displacement angle is build between the terminal voltage (mains voltage U1) and the synchronous internal voltage (Up). Therefore a voltage is difference ΔU is built be- tween Up and U1 (Fig.
  • Page 20 Woodward Manual XRN2 Figure 4.6: Equivalent circuit at mains failure In case of mains failure or auto reclosing the generator suddenly feeds a very high consumer load. The rotor displacement angle is decreased repeatedly and the voltage vector U changes its direction (U ') (Fig.
  • Page 21 Manual XRN2 Woodward Figure 4.8: Voltage vector surge As shown in the voltage/time diagram the instantaneous value of the voltage jumps to another value and the phase position changes. This is named phase or vector surge. The XRN2-1 measures the cycle duration. A new measuring is started at each voltage zero passage. The measured cycle duration is internally compared with a quartz stable reference time and from this the deviation of the cycle duration of the voltage signal is ascertained.
  • Page 22 Woodward Manual XRN2 Application hint Although the vector surge relay guarantees very fast and reliable detection of mains failures under nearly all op- erational conditions of mains parallel running alternators, the following borderline cases have to be considered accordingly: a) None or only insignificant change of power flow at the utility connection point during mains failures.

External reset-input C2/C2L or C2/C2H The external reset input has the same function as the <SELECT/RESET> push button on the front plate. Con- necting auxiliary voltage to this input, the unit can be reset, provided that the fault is removed.

    Woodward Manual XRN2 After the password is given correctly, parameter setting is permitted for five minutes. This means: For a subse- quent parameter setting, as long as it is made within five minutes after the password input, a renewed password input is not required.

    Manual XRN2 Woodward Checking the set values By repeatedly pressing the push button <SELECT>, all relay set values may be checked. Set value modification can be done with the push button <+><-> and <ENTER>. As relay input energizing quantities, three phase volt-ages should be applied to XRN2 relay input circuits. De- pending on the system conditions and the voltage transformer used, three voltages can be connected to the re- lay input circuits with either star or delta connection.
  • Page 38: Checking The Input Circuits And Measuring Functions

    Woodward Manual XRN2 For testing the vector surge function of the relay, a test circuit which can produce phase angle change (vector surge) is required to simulate mains failures (please refer to chapter 7.4.8). For testing the df/dt function of the relay, a special test equipment is required, which produces a constant rate of change of frequency.
  • Page 39: Checking The Relay Operating Time Of The Over/Undervoltage Functions

    Manual XRN2 Woodward 7.4.5 Checking the relay operating time of the over/undervoltage functions To check the relay's operating time, a timer must be connected to the trip output relay contact (Contact termi- nals D1/E1). The timer should be started simultaneously with the voltage change from sound condition to a faulty condition and stopped by the trip relay contact.
  • Page 40: Checking The Vector Surge Function

    Woodward Manual XRN2 7.4.8 Checking the vector surge function With the help of an advanced relay test equipment a phase shift (vector surge) on the voltage signal can be ob- tained to test the vector surge function of XRN2 relay. If there is no such testing facility available, a very simple simulation circuit may be used to test the vector surge function of the relay with a sufficient accuracy.
  • Page 41: Checking The External Blocking And Reset Functions

    Manual XRN2 Woodward 7.4.9 Checking the external blocking and reset functions The external blocking input is free programmable by the user. To test the blocking function apply auxiliary supply voltage to the external blocking input of the relay (terminals C1/C1L or C1/C1H). Inject a test voltage which could cause tripping for the testes functions. Observe that there is no trip and alarm for those functions.
