    2.1 Product description The B30 Bus Differential System is part of the Universal Relay (UR) series of products. It is a microprocessor-based relay that provides protection and metering for a busbar with up to six feeders. Protection is provided by a low impedance percent differential element with features that make it immune to current transformer (CT) saturation.

    When entering a settings or command password via EnerVista or any serial interface, the user must enter the corresponding connection password. If the connection is to the back of the B30, the remote password is used. If the connection is to a front panel port, the local password applies. (These two local and remote password settings are not shown the figure.)

  • Page 307 NUMBER(80): 80 The B30 contains an embedded web server and can display pages in a web browser. The web pages are organized as a series of menus that can be accessed starting at the B30 “Main Menu.” Web pages are read-only and are available showing DNP and IEC 60870-5-104 points lists, Modbus registers, event records, fault reports, and so on.

    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 B30 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 B30 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 319 When a clock on start-up discovers that it is “better” than the present grandmaster, it assumes the grandmaster role and the previous grandmaster reverts to slave. The B30 qualification mechanism accepts a potential master clock as a new grandmaster, when in a four-second interval it has received three announce messages from it, all better than the present grandmaster clock and better than any other announce in this interval.

    9.2.2 CT ratio matching The B30 allows for using CTs with various rated secondary currents and transformation ratios. Scaling to a common base is performed internally by the relay. The maximum allowable ratio mismatch is 32:1. For proper setting of the differential characteristic, it is imperative to understand the common base used by the relay.

    LOW BPNT 9.3.3 Enhanced security To enhance the performance of the B30, the differential characteristic is divided into two regions having diverse operating modes, as shown in following figure. The first region applies to comparatively low differential currents and has been introduced to deal with CT saturation on low-current external faults.
  • Page 547: Directional Principle

    The B30 operates in the 2-out-of-2 mode in the first region of the differential characteristic. Both differential and directional principles (Differential Principle and Directional Principle) must confirm an internal fault in order for the biased differential element to operate.

The flag indicating whether the directional protection principle is satisfied is available as the FlexLogic...
  • Page 549: Saturation Detector

    9.5.1 CT saturation detection The saturation detector of the B30 takes advantage of the fact that any CT operates correctly for a short period of time, even under very large primary currents that would subsequently cause a very deep saturation. As a result, in the case of an external fault, the differential current stays very low during the initial period of linear operation of the CTs while the restraining signal develops rapidly.
  • Page 550: Output Logic And Examples

    For high differential signals, the directional principle is included only if demanded by the saturation detector (dynamic 1- out-of-2 / 2-out-of-2 mode). Typically, the directional principle is slower, and by avoiding using it when possible, the B30 gains speed.

    The first of the following figures presents the bus currents and the most important logic signals for the case of an external fault. Despite very fast and severe CT saturation, the B30 remains stable. The second figure presents the same signals but for the case of an internal fault. The B30 trips in 10 ms (fast form-C output contact).
