CHAPTER 2: PRODUCT DESCRIPTION SPECIFICATIONSC60 BREAKER PROTECTION SYSTEM – INSTRUCTION MANUAL 2-192True RMS value for the current is calculated on a per-phase basis. The true RMS can be used for demand recording or as aninput signal to Time Overcurrent function, if the latter is intended for thermal protection. The true RMS is calculated as perthe widely accepted definition:Eq. 2-3RMS values include harmonics, inter-harmonics, DC components, and so on, along with fundamental frequency values.The true RMS value reflects thermal effects of the current and is used for the thermal related monitoring and protectionfunctions.Protection and control functions respond to phasors of the fundamental and/or harmonic frequency components(magnitudes and angles), with an exception for some functions that have an option for RMS or fundamentalmeasurements, or some function responding to RMS only. This type of response is explained typically in each element'ssection in this instruction manual.Currents are pre-filtered using a Finite Impulse Response (FIR) digital filter. The filter is designed to reject DC componentsand low-frequency distortions, without amplifying high-frequency noise. This filter is referred to as a modified MIMIC filter,which provides excellent filtering and overall balance between speed and accuracy of filtering. The filter is cascaded withthe full-cycle Fourier filter for the current phasor estimation.Voltages are pre-filtered using a patented Finite Impulse Response (FIR) digital filter. The filter has been optimized to rejectvoltage-transformer-specific distortions, such as Capacitive Voltage Transformer (CVT) noise and high-frequencyoscillatory components. The filter is cascaded with the half-cycle Fourier filter for the voltage phasor estimation.The URs measure power system frequency using the Clarke transformation by estimating the period of the waveform fromtwo consecutive zero-crossings in the same direction (negative-to-positive). Voltage or current samples are pre-filteredusing a Finite Impulse Response (FIR) digital filter to remove high frequency noise contained in the signal. The period isused after several security conditions are met, such as true RMS signal must be above 6% nominal for a certain time. Ifthese security conditions are not met, the last valid measurement is used for a specific time after which the UR reverts tonominal system frequency.Synchrophasors are calculated using a patented convolution integral algorithm. This algorithm allows use of the sametime-stamped samples, which are used for protection and taken at the same sampling frequency. This allows URs to useone sampling clock for both protection algorithms and synchrophasors.Synchrophasors on firmware versions 7.23 and up have been tested and certified to meet IEEE C37.118-2011 andC37.118.1a-2014 standards for both metering and protection classes with outputs available up to 60 synchrophasors persecond for the metering class and 120 synchrophasors per second for the protection class. Synchrophasors measurementis also available via IEC 61850-90-5 protocol.The contact inputs threshold is settable in the firmware with 17, 33, 84, 166 V DC settings available. Inputs are scannedevery 0.5 ms and can be conditioned for the critical applications, using debounce time timer, settable from 0.0 to 16.0 ms.Contact inputs with auto-burnishing are available as well, when external contacts are exposed to the contamination in aharsh industrial environment.All measured values are available in the UR metering section on the front panel and via communications protocols.Measured analog values and binary signals can be captured in COMTRADE format with sampling rates from 8 to 64samples per power cycle. Analog values can be captured with the Data Logger, allowing much slower rates extended overa long period of time.Other advanced UR order code options are available to support IEC 61850 Ed2.0 (including fast GOOSE, MMS server, 61850services, ICD/CID/IID files, and so on), IEEE 1588 (IEEE C37.238 power profile) based time synchronization, CyberSentry(advanced cyber security), the Parallel Redundancy Protocol (PRP), IEC 60870-5-103, and so on.2.5 SpecificationsSpecifications are subject to change without notice.
