RET670 Testing Procedure Overview

This document summarizes testing procedures for various protection functions on a power transformer: 1) Differential protection is tested with high and low impedance settings. Measurements are taken of pickup values, delay times, and harmonic blocking. 2) Thermal overload protection is tested by injecting current and measuring trip times with and without cooling. Calculations are shown to determine nominal trip values. 3) Over excitation protection is tested using a tailor-made voltage-based curve to detect overvoltage on the low voltage side of the transformer. 4) Tapchanger overcurrent blocking inhibits tapchanger operation if current exceeds a threshold to prevent damage.

 Differential Protection(87) – Low impedence protection

Pick up 3φ = diff setting * (Full load current / CT Ratio )


Pickup 1φ = diff setting * (Full load current / CT Ratio) * 1.5
Bias Characteristics:

Curve can be obtained as follows

Using the parameter setting idmin,


endsection1,2 slope section 2,3 the
curve can be obtained.
[Link] can be checked by Omicron,
[Link] can also be checked by
Manually by injecting in times of Trafo
Nominal current on both side with 180°
shift, vary any one angle till trip, I Diff
can be calculated using
ϕ 
I diff = 2 ⋅ iinj ⋅ sin  
2
Where, iinj = Injected Current,
Φ = Operated angle.

Blocking of Differential protection:

1. Harmonic Restraint(2nd & 5th Harmonic)


Harmonics is nothing but Multiples of Frequency
Second harmonic:
Inject the full load current as per the calculation + inject >10 % of the full load
current with set 100 hz frequency(2*50 hz) → NO TRIP.

Inject the full load current as per the calculation + inject <10 % of the full load
current with set 100 hz frequency(2*50 hz) → TRIP.
Fifth harmonic:
Inject the full load current as per the calculation + inject >25 % of the full load
current with set 250 hz frequency(5*50 hz) → NO TRIP.

Inject the full load current as per the calculation + inject <25 % of the full load
current with set 250 hz frequency(5*50 hz) → TRIP.
2. Open CT detection.

 The OPEN CT Algorithm will only detect an OPEN CT if the load on the
power transformer is from 10% to 110% of the rated load current.
 The search of OPEN CT starts after 60 seconds since the bias current
enters the 10-110% range.

OPEN CT DETECTION→ Block Diff Protn..

3. Cross Blocking.

2nd or 5th Harmonic Restraint in R ph → Block Diff Protn in Y & B phases.


2nd or 5th Harmonic Restraint in Y ph → Block Diff Protn in R & B phases.
2nd or 5th Harmonic Restraint in B ph → Block Diff Protn in R & Y phases.
THERMAL OVERLOAD PROTECTION(49)

We need to test this in 2 methods


1. Without Cooling
2. With Cooling
Trip Lockout will be connected to Trip
[Link] once after cool down to
allowable temp we can able to energise
the transformer.

*) Calculation of nominal value:


TTrip = ((IRef*IBase/IRef)*(ITrip/10000))2*100 =
((100*100/100)*(100/10000)) 2*100 = 121%

TStart = TTrip*Start injection/100 = 121%*50%/100 = 60.5%

t = 150 ln (((52 – (60.5 – 0)/100) / ((52 –(121-0)/100))) =

OVER EXCITATION PROTECTION(24)

No current compensation is used.


Tailor made curve

Over excitation is based on Voltage


of LV side of transformer any two
phase is enough to measure based
on setting in general setting.

TAPCHANGER OVER CURRENT BLOCKING

This is nothing but a over current used to inihibit the operation of Tapchanger,
means when we have current threshold higher than the set value tap changer operation is
blocked.
