Section 3 1MAC308145-MB E RER620 application loads. It provides a control capability function of the recloser to trip and/or lockout whenever there is a fault on one-phase, two-phases or three-phases. This feature allows an electric utility to prevent unnecessary three-phase interruptions and outages of their distribution network where a majority of outages can be attributed to single-phase transient type faults thereby improving the overall power system reliability and quantity of power delivered to customers on the distribution feeder.
Section 3 1MAC308145-MB E RER620 application • When a single phase has locked out, the reset timer will count down from its set value in the recloser settings. If another phase becomes involved before the reset time expires, that phase will operate one shot to lockout. If, alternatively, the reset timer has expired, the additional involved phase will go through the full sequence of programmed operations.
Section 3 1MAC308145-MB E RER620 application • The recloser is set to trip on a single-phase fault in single-phase fashion, but lockout in three-phase fashion (OOAP). A fault is detected and the recloser trips open on one phase and will lockout on all three phases if the fault detected is a permanent fault. •...
Section 3 1MAC308145-MB E RER620 application The second part of the function invokes the basic autorecloser function, which determines whether / when to reclose / lockout etc. The third part of the function distributes the autorecloser outputs to the phases currently active, as determined by the first part of the function.
Section 3 1MAC308145-MB E RER620 application They are not independent function blocks and they are instantiated as part of overall autoreclosing functionality. These SDAIGGIO blocks accepts trip / pickup signals from a protection function and determines (based on settings) which phases are to be tripped. It then generates one TRIP output, along with which phases are active.
Section 3 1MAC308145-MB E RER620 application Loop Control Module The loop control module (LCM) enables the RER620 to perform automatic loop restoration functions, commonly accepted as a means to significantly improve circuit reliability and to provide more effective system operation. The LCM is designed to implement a loop control scheme by providing switching operations of the recloser to sectionalize or remove the faulted section from the distribution system.

Though the reclose blocked condition will change to normal after a programmed amount of time, the control will stay in New Settings Group until the loop scheme is reset. 3.5.3 Tiepoint Recloser The Tiepoint recloser, unlike the Sectionalizing and Midpoint recloser is normally open.

Section 3 1MAC308145-MB E RER620 application In case of mid-point mode, the numbers of voltage transformers connected can be either 1 or 3. So the Vt config line can be either "1" or "3". The phase selection is similar as in sectionalizer mode but Vt config line cannot be "2".

Section 4 1MAC308145-MB E Requirements for measurement transformers Section 4 Requirements for measurement transformers Current transformers 4.1.1 Current transformer requirements for non-directional overcurrent protection For reliable and correct operation of the overcurrent protection, the CT has to be chosen carefully. The distortion of the secondary current of a saturated CT may endanger the operation, selectivity, and co-ordination of protection.
Section 4 1MAC308145-MB E Requirements for measurement transformers In practice, the actual accuracy limit factor (F ) differs from the rated accuracy limit factor ) and is proportional to the ratio of the rated CT burden and the actual CT burden. The actual accuracy limit factor is calculated using the formula: ≈...
Section 4 1MAC308145-MB E Requirements for measurement transformers Delay in operation caused by saturation of current transformers The saturation of the CT may cause a delayed relay operation. To ensure the time selectivity, the delay must be taken into account when setting the trip times of successive relays.
Page 80
Section 4 1MAC308145-MB E Requirements for measurement transformers pickup current settings have to be defined so that the relay operates with the minimum fault current and it does not trip with the maximum load current. The settings for all three stages are as in the figure above.
Section 5 1MAC308145-MB E Relay physical connections 5.1.5 Binary inputs The binary inputs can be used, for example, to generate a blocking signal, to unlatch output contacts, to trigger the fault recorder or for remote control of relay settings. There are four binary input terminals available with X120 fault by default. In addition to that, two additional BIO modules can be included in slots 105 and 110.
Section 5 1MAC308145-MB E Relay physical connections Outputs 5.2.1 Outputs for tripping and controlling Output contacts PO1, PO2, PO3 and PO4 are heavy-duty trip contacts capable of controlling most circuit breakers. They can be used for any such application. However, recloser closing and opening signals are issued from UPD module as described in section 5.2.4.
Section 5 1MAC308145-MB E Relay physical connections 5.2.4 Output contacts Pole A, Pole B and Pole C are used for controlling the recloser. Recloser status is monitored using Pole positions inputs. Also position of 69 switch is monitored through pin 22. All these I/Os are pre-wired at delivery from the factory. Table 22: UPD terminals Conn.
