Non-directional overcurrent protection test in AMR relay (simple test using templates)

2
00:00:22,940 --> 00:00:28,327
AMR modular relay of Vebko company supports various protection functions.

3
00:00:28,374 --> 00:00:36,603
Explanations of the capabilities and software environment of this relay have already been presented in the video related to differential protection test.

4
00:00:36,624 --> 00:00:39,524
After connecting to the AMR relay at first,

5
00:00:39,573 --> 00:00:47,450
simply load the device's hardware configuration from the Device menu by selecting the Read Hardware from Relay option.

6
00:00:47,497 --> 00:00:53,562
The default password is 123456 to receive elements.

7
00:00:53,981 --> 00:00:59,386
At this point, a message is given to remove the signal, which if confirmed,

8
00:00:59,460 --> 00:01:08,695
, if the current hardware is not the same as the relay hardware, the current hardware signals used in the VFC section are deleted.

9
00:01:09,654 --> 00:01:14,953
It should be noted that the settings for the conversion ratio of voltage and current transformers

10
00:01:15,067 --> 00:01:23,568
are determined in the related card. Here the ratio of current card conversion is 200A to 1A.

11
00:01:23,593 --> 00:01:26,562
As mentioned earlier in the AMR software,

12
00:01:26,656 --> 00:01:32,499
config of some of the most widely used functions as are placed in the software as sample

13
00:01:32,865 --> 00:01:39,521
the user can send new settings to the relay by selecting each of them and applying the desired changes.

14
00:01:40,183 --> 00:01:47,343
For this purpose, a set of functions can be seen in the Relay VFC tab and in the Temp Functions section.

15
00:01:47,563 --> 00:01:54,039
It should be noted that by selecting each Temp Function, the blocks in the VFC are removed.

16
00:01:54,064 --> 00:02:01,759
Here the non-directional overcurrent function displayed under the name OC 50/51 is selected.

17
00:02:01,773 --> 00:02:08,404
In configuring this function, an OC Inverse block and two OC Definite blocks are used.

18
00:02:08,429 --> 00:02:13,709
They have different settings and the signals of a current card are assigned to their input

19
00:02:13,896 --> 00:02:22,143
Finally, output signals are assigned to Binary Outputs and relay LEDs by Output and LED blocks.

20
00:02:22,390 --> 00:02:28,505
To change the settings, simply right-click on each block to access a set of options.

21
00:02:28,622 --> 00:02:32,163
Finally, the changes are sent to the relay.

22
00:02:32,183 --> 00:02:38,976
In this video, by double-clicking on blocks that contain constant time stages for non-directional overcurrent function,

23
00:02:39,010 --> 00:02:48,485
 disables them and define the 1A and TMS current settings equal to 0.1 by double-clicking on the first stage,

24
00:02:48,510 --> 00:02:50,710
which is defined as reverse time.

25
00:02:51,287 --> 00:02:57,871
By making these changes, simply select Send Config and Setting to Relay from the Device menu again.

26
00:02:57,896 --> 00:03:02,969
In this way, the settings and configuration applied are moved to the relay.

27
00:03:02,983 --> 00:03:08,337
In the next step, by running AMPro software and opening the AMT Overcurrent room,

28
00:03:08,397 --> 00:03:15,157
it is enough to go to the Object Parameters test section and create the test characteristic after entering the information.

29
00:03:15,264 --> 00:03:22,813
Here, a reverse time characteristic is created by 1A and TMS=0.1 current settings.

30
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:27,922
Keep in mind that it is also possible to test this characteristic using the Xrio file.

31
00:03:27,989 --> 00:03:32,056
In order to evaluate the performance of non-directional overcurrent function,

32
00:03:32,062 --> 00:03:35,582
two Trip Time and Pickup-Drop Off tests are performed.

33
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:40,609
The purpose of Trip Time is to detect and evaluate the accuracy of the performance

34
00:03:40,634 --> 00:03:46,405
time of this function and the purpose of pickup-drop off test is to detect and evaluate the accuracy

35
00:03:46,430 --> 00:03:52,382
of the actual current of the performance threshold and of reset threshold of this function.

36
00:03:52,407 --> 00:03:53,407
Trip Test

37
00:03:53,432 --> 00:03:58,286
Three states including PreFault, Fault and PostFault are required to perform this test.

38
00:03:58,270 --> 00:04:04,689
PreFault time is suitable for 500 milliseconds, fault time should be greater than the maximum trip time,

39
00:04:04,736 --> 00:04:08,590
and Post Fault time is at least 500 milliseconds.

40
00:04:08,744 --> 00:04:13,544
PostFault time should be increased if the drop-off is not an instantaneous.

41
00:04:13,574 --> 00:04:20,993
The suggested points for reduced time functions are 1.5 times, 2 times and 4 times the regulatory current,

42
00:04:21,027 --> 00:04:26,349
and for constant time curves, 1.5 and 2 times the regulatory current.

43
00:04:26,396 --> 00:04:29,617
To detect the regulatory current of the second unit,

44
00:04:29,638 --> 00:04:37,923
two points can be added to the amount of 90 and 110 percent of the regulatory current of the second unit.

45
00:04:37,997 --> 00:04:45,392
By adding points, perform the test to check the performance of this function from the point of view of time accuracy.

46
00:05:00,324 --> 00:05:02,004
Pickup/Drop-off Test

47
00:05:02,145 --> 00:05:08,490
In order to perform this test, first determine how the diagnosis of pickup and drop-off is performed.

48
00:05:08,515 --> 00:05:12,273
This process can be done through a separate contact, namely Start,

49
00:05:12,298 --> 00:05:19,838
Relay LED viewing, or changing the setting for instantaneous function and using the trip contact.

50
00:05:19,925 --> 00:05:22,330
Here we used the Contact Pickup Relay.

51
00:05:22,370 --> 00:05:26,409
You can also put the current fault value in the desired range.

52
00:05:26,952 --> 00:05:31,305
Here the fault value is considered 5% by default.

53
00:05:31,511 --> 00:05:39,663
The performance range of overcurrent curves in the AMR relay starts from 1.1 regulatory current in the relay.

54
00:05:39,687 --> 00:05:46,541
Therefore, first, by enabling the Active Range Limits option in the Overcurrent Protection Parameters window,

55
00:05:46,566 --> 00:05:52,022
the Imin value is set to 1.1 Iref. In the next step,

56
00:05:52,029 --> 00:05:56,960
the current setting value for the pickup is placed on 1.1*1=1.1 amps.

57
00:05:58,675 --> 00:06:08,847
By adding points, it is enough to perform the test and add the necessary elements to the report when it is finished.
