Introduction
The LGPG111 is a multi-function relay
which integrates a number of common
generator protection functions and
associated scheme logic into a single
relay case.

Models Available
LGPG111
Incorporating 14 separate generator
protection functions (see Figure 2).

Figure 1: Relay Type LGPG111

Application
The LGPG111 can be applied to a
wide range of generators. Each of its
protection functions can be enabled
or disabled to suit individual
requirements. This approach avoids
the need for application-specific relay
versions, and simplifies the tasks of
relay specification, evaluation and
project planning. The integrated
scheme logic eliminates much panel
engineering work by reducing the
need for auxiliary relays and
associated external wiring.
Contacts from external protection and
plant monitoring equipment can be
connected to any of the eight
optically-isolated inputs. This allows
external information to be
incorporated into the relays userconfigurable scheme logic.
The optically-isolated inputs and relay
outputs may be labelled in the
software for local or remote
monitoring.

These functions can be recorded in

the alarm and event recording
facilities.
The protection functions provided by
the LGPG111 relay are as shown in
Figure 2.

Functions
Generator differential (87G)
The generator differential function is
for the protection of phase to phase or
three-phase stator windings faults
which normally involve high fault
currents, so that fast fault clearance is
required. This function works on a per
phase basis and has a dual slope
bias characteristic as shown in Figure
3: the lower slope provides sensitivity
for internal faults, whereas the higher
slope provides stability under through
fault conditions, especially if the
generator CTs saturate.

Stator earth fault (51N)

The stator earth fault function is
current operated and can be typically
set to cover up to 95% of the stator
windings. It is generally used on
resistively earthed generators, but can
also be used to respond to current in
the secondary circuit of an earthing
transformer loaded with a resistor.
A time-delayed low set element and
an instantaneous high set element are
provided.
Neutral displacement (59N)
The neutral displacement function is
voltage operated and is used for
detecting stator winding earth faults
on generators which are earthed via
a distribution transformer. Two timer
output elements are provided.
Sensitive directional earth fault (67N)
When two or more generators are
connected in parallel directly to a
busbar, the sensitive directional earth
fault function is used to discriminate
between internal and external earth
faults. A dedicated single-phase CT
input is available for the operating
current, which can accept the residual
current from three line CTs or current
from a dedicated core-balance CT.
The polarising signal for the
directional decision is either the
voltage signal applied to the neutral
voltage VT input or the current signal
applied to the stator earth fault current
input.
The stator earth fault, neutral
displacement and sensitive directional
earth fault functions all have third
harmonic rejection built in by means
of a software filter.
Voltage dependent overcurrent (51V)
The voltage dependent overcurrent
function is used for system backup
protection and can trip the generator
circuit breaker, if a fault has not been
cleared by other protection after a
certain period of time. The voltage
dependent function can be either
voltage controlled or voltage
restrained.
When voltage controlled, the timing
characteristic is changed from a load
to a fault characteristic when the
voltage drops below a set level. It is
mainly used for generators connected
directly to the busbar.

Figure 4: Voltage dependent overcurrent functions

When voltage restrained, the current

pick-up level is proportionally lowered
as the voltage falls below a set value,
producing a continuous variation of
timing characteristics. This is
applicable to generators connected to
the busbar, each via a step-up
transformer.
A voltage vector compensation feature
is also available to determine the HV

phase-phase voltage signals where a

Yd1 or a Yd11 step-up transformer is
used.
The timing characteristic can either be
definite time or IDMT.
The effects of the voltage level on the
current pick-up level for both functions
are shown in Figure 4.

Reverse power (32R) and low forward

power (32L)
Reverse power protection is used to
detect loss of the prime mover.
Low forward power protection can be
applied to steam turbine generators
where sequential shutdown is
preferable, under less urgent
operations, to avoid over-speeding.
Both are balanced conditions,
therefore a single phase measurement
is sufficient. For this function, the relay
calculates VIcos for the A-phase.
In order to provide the required
sensitivity, a special current input is
used for both of these functions.
A compensation angle setting is also
available to compensate for phase
error of the generators CT and VT
signals. A delayed drop-off timer is
included in the timing logic which acts
as an integrating timer. This allows
the relay to trip within the predetermined time delay, under
pulsating power conditions.

Xa

Negative phase sequence (46)

Negative phase sequence function is
for the detection of sustained
unbalanced load conditions.
Under such circumstances double
frequency eddy currents are induced
in the rotor of a generator and can
cause rapid overheating. The function
has a thermal replica curve which
simulates the effects of pre-fault
heating due to low levels of standing
negative phase sequence current I2.
When the I2 value is well above
threshold, the thermal replica
approximates to a
t = K/I22 characteristic, where K is
the generators per-unit current
thermal capacity constant in seconds.
The tripping characteristic is shown in
Figure 5.
When high values of K are selected
and the negative phase sequence
currents measured are near to the
threshold, the operating time may be
too slow. In this case, a maximum
time setting tMAX is available to
provide a safe trip time.
When I2 is high, the operating time
may become too fast and cause loss
of discrimination with other power
system protection under fault
conditions. To reduce this risk, the
inverse characteristic is provided with

Xb

Figure 6: Field failure protection characteristic

an adjustable minimum operating time

setting tMIN.
A separate thermal capacity constant
setting Kreset is also provided for use
when the generator is cooling, due to
a reduction in I2. This is to cater for
rotor components with differing
cooling time constants.
An independent alarm element with a
definite time output is available for
pre-trip warning purposes.

Field failure (40)

Severe loss of excitation caused by
field failure can cause a high value of
reactive current to be drawn from the
power system which can endanger
the generator. The field failure
protection provided by this relay is a
single phase impedance measuring
element with an offset mho
characteristic, as shown in Figure 6.
An integrating timing arrangement,
identical to that for the power
functions, is also provided. This allows
the relay to trip within the predetermined time delay even though
the impedance measurement may
temporarily fall outside the mho
characteristic, eg. under pole-slipping
conditions.

Under voltage (27) and over voltage

(59)
An under voltage element and a
2-stage over voltage element are
provided. They are primarily used for
backing up the speed control
governor and the automatic voltage
regulator. When severe over voltage
occurs, the high set of the over
voltage element can be set to provide
fast operation. Both elements are 3phase devices.
Under frequency (81U) and over
frequency (81O)
Two under frequency elements and
one over frequency element are
provided. The underfrequency
elements are used to detect
overloading of the generator caused
by various system disturbances or
operating conditions.
The overfrequency element is used to
back-up the speed control governor if
overspeeding occurs.
Voltage balance (60)
The voltage balance function is
provided to detect VT fuse failure.
It compares the secondary voltages of
two sets of VTs (or from two
separately fused circuits of a single
VT) and can be used to block possible
incorrect tripping of those protection
functions whose performance may be
affected by the apparent loss of
voltage such as when a VT fuse
ruptures.

Configuration

Integrating timer facility

Time integration is required for the
power function to allow for
reciprocating load conditions where
the measuring element may pick up
briefly and periodically. The same
feature is also provided for the field
failure function for pole-slipping
conditions. Time integration allows the
function to operate within its predetermined operating time.
To implement timing integration, an
additional delayed drop-off timer is
provided. Once the protection
measurement element has picked up,
the relay will operate after the set time
delay, provided that the time interval
when the element drops off is within
the setting of the delayed drop-off
timer tDO.

The protection scheme logic for a

generator set normally involves a
large number of protection functions
combined together to drive a few
common trip outputs. Some blocking
and interlocking logic may also be
required. In order to accommodate
different generator applications, the
scheme logic is flexible and
reconfigureable.
The LGPG111 scheme logic is in the
form of logic arrays with an
architecture commonly found in
programmable logic array devices,
having an internal AND-OR structure
shown in Figure 7.
The OR functions allow one or more
of the AND function outputs to control
each output relay, whilst the AND
functions provide blocking or
interlocking for two or more inputs, or
just a through connection for one
input. There are 32 inputs to the
scheme logic: 19 from the protection
functions, 8 optically-isolated inputs
and a selection of inverted inputs to
allow blocking logic to be created.
The scheme logic controls a total of
15 output relays and has 32
selectable AND functions.

Frequency tracking
The relay tracks the power system
frequency and continuously adjusts its
internal sampling clock to exact
multiples of the system frequency.
This provides correct measurements
and operation of the protection
functions during start-up and run-down
of the generator set when the
generator unit is operated at
abnormal frequency. The operating
frequency range is from 25Hz to
70Hz for the differential function and
from 5Hz to 70Hz for the other
protection functions.

The input and output matrices allow

the desired connections to be created.
Each intersection of the matrix
represents a programmable
interconnection. By designing the
appropriate interconnections and then
entering the information into the relay,

Timer held facility

Both the overcurrent function, the low
set element of the stator earth fault
function and the neutral displacement
function are provided with a timer
held facility. The purpose is to enable
faster clearance of recurrent
intermittent faults, for example, selfsealing insulation faults. This facility
allows the relay timer to hold its value
when the current drops off, provided
that the drop-off period is less than the
tRESET timer setting.
This adjustable reset facility also
enables closer co-ordination with
electromechanical induction disc
relays.

through the scheme logic settings, the

required tripping logic can be
configured.
The presence of the optically-isolated
inputs to the scheme allows external
devices such as rotor earth fault relay,
temperature sensing devices and
mechanical relays to be connected to
the scheme, so that the tripping
facilities, together with the alarm and
remote communication facilities, can
be utilised.
The optically-isolated inputs and relay
outputs used in a scheme may be
allocated to any function required by
the application. The relay has a
facility to label each of these by
providing an identifier. The identifiers
are used during the configuration of
the scheme logic, by the input and
output status displays and by the
event, fault and disturbance recording
systems.
Alternative setting group
The relay provides an alternative
setting group which consists of all the
protection and scheme logic settings.
It can be used during start-up or rundown of generators or during
changes in power system
configuration. This setting group can
be selected by either energising the
appropriate optically-isolated inputs,
or via the relay settings menu.

Ancillary Functions
Measurements
The magnitudes of all 17 analogue
inputs to the relay are available for
display. Other derived quantities are
also available. This provides such
information as the three-phase,
residual and earth currents, the phase
to phase voltages, differential and
bias currents, negative phase
sequence current, phase A active and
reactive power plus the phase angle
and power system frequency.
All measurements can be displayed in
either primary or secondary
quantities, selectable by the user.
Primary display quantities are based
on the settings for the CT and VT
ratios used by the relay.
Event and fault records
Up to 100 event records are
available, all of them stored in nonvolatile memory. The latest record will
automatically overwrite the oldest
one. Event records are generated
whenever there is a protection
function operation, energisation of a
status input, operation of an output
relay or any hardware failure.
Fault records are also stored as
events. Out of the 100 event records,
up to 50 fault records can be
accommodated. Fault records are
initiated when user selected relay
outputs operate. The record consists of
the date and time of the fault, the state
of the optically-isolated inputs, relay
outputs and protection functions,
together with the measurement values
during the fault.
Disturbance records
The internal disturbance recorder can
store up to eight analogue channels,
together with all the status input and
relay output information.
The analogue channels are user
selectable from the relays 17 inputs.
The data in the analogue channels
can be stored as either raw data or as
magnitude and phase data. The raw
data is sampled at 12 samples per
electrical cycle, whereas the
magnitude and phase data are
calculated once every 20ms. Thus the
duration of a record varies with the
data type. For raw data, the duration

is 64 electrical cycles, but for

magnitude and phase data, the
duration is 7.68s. The latter set-up
allows long duration events such as
pole-slipping to be captured. In either
case, each data entry is time
stamped. This is particularly useful for
the raw data recording, since the
sampling interval varies with the
power system frequency, due to the
frequency tracking.
The disturbance recorder can be
triggered from selected relay outputs
and status inputs. A maximum of two
records can be stored in volatile
memory. A record remains in the
buffer area until it is uploaded to a
PC, after which the buffer is released.
If the two buffers are full, no further
recording can be made.
Time synchronisation
The clock for event record time
tagging has a resolution of 1ms.
To provide time synchronisation with
other equipment in the generator
station, the clock can be synchronised
by external clock pulses (0.5, 1, 5,
10, 15, 30 or 60 minute period) from
an optically-isolated input.
Print functions
Several print functions are provided to
allow the relay to provide hard-copy
documentation, via the front panel
parallel port. This consists of the
system settings, protection settings,
scheme logic settings, event records
and fault records. The scheme logic
print-out is formatted so that it can be
compared directly with the scheme
logic diagram.
Test features
A number of features are provided to
enable the relay to be thoroughly
tested during commissioning, routine
maintenance and fault finding
operations:
The measurement functions allow
the analogue input and its
associated wiring to be checked.
Display the on/off states of the
status inputs and relay outputs.
Testing the four indicating LEDs.
Testing the relay outputs and their
associated circuits by operating
the relay output contacts.

 Display the operation of each

protection function as a
percentage of the time-to-trip.
This allows the pick-up, progress
and operation of each protection
function to be checked.
Testing the set-up of the scheme
logic settings by manually entering
an input pattern to the scheme,
and then examining its logical
output. This test can be performed
at any time without interfering with
the relays operation.
Power-on diagnostics and self
monitoring
Power-on diagnostic tests are carried
out by the relay when it is energised.
These tests include checks on the
timer, microprocessor, memory and
the analogue input module.
Continuous self-monitoring, in the form
of watchdog circuitry, memory checks
and analogue input module tests, is
also performed. In the event of a
failure, the relay will either lock-out or
attempt a recovery, depending on the
type of failure detected.

Hardware Description

Two relay output modules are

provided; each module contains 8
miniature relays. All relays are selfreset. However, a software function is
available which allows the user to
select outputs to be latched when
operated.

The relay is housed in a 4U (178mm)

high case suitable for either rack or
panel mounting. Internally, it consists
of a number of plug-in modules which
are individually tested and calibrated.
The modular hardware architecture is
shown in Figure 8.

The front panel consists of a 2 x 16

character alphanumeric liquid crystal
display (lcd) and a 7 push-button
keypad. It provides local access to all
of the relays features. There are also
4 light emitting diodes for visual
indication of the relays status, a nonisolated IEC870 serial port for
connection to a PC, and a parallel
port for connection to a printer.

The microcomputer module consists of

a powerful 16-bit microcomputer
which controls all of the subsidiary
modules through a 64-way ribbon
cable called the I/O Bus.
The processor performs all of the
major software functions such as input
signal processing, protection
algorithms, scheme logic, relay output
controls and handling of the operator
interface.

At the rear of the relay, apart from the

normal DC supply and plant
connections, there is an isolated
IEC870 port and a K-Bus port for
permanent connection to a remote PC.

The analogue input module consists of

12 CTs, 5 VTs and 6 optically-isolated
inputs. The CTs and VTs are used to
isolate and condition the analogue
inputs from the main transformers
connected to the generator.
Their output signals are then
converted into digital data for further
processing.

The remote communications module

is responsible for handling the
communications protocol and for
controlling the three communication
ports.

In addition to the 6 optically-isolated

inputs on the analogue module, a
further 8 are provided by the status
input module, making a total of 14
optically-isolated inputs available to
the relay. 6 of these have pre-defined
functions, such as clock
synchronisation, setting group
selection, etc., which leaves 8 inputs
to be fed into the scheme logic.
All of the optically-isolated inputs
operate from an auxiliary supply
Vx(2), which is independent of the
main auxiliary supply Vx(1).
The ratings of Vx(1) and Vx(2) may be
different (See Technical Data).

User Interface
Front panel user interface
The features of the relay can be
accessed through a user-friendly menu
system. The menu is arranged so that
related items (menu cells) are grouped
into individual sections, each of which
is identified by a title. The user
navigates around the menu by using
the arrow keys, first to select a
particular section title and then to
select an item within it. The front
panel liquid crystal display is limited
to displaying one menu cell at a time.

Software is available with each KITZ

to provide access to the relays, to
read and change settings. Additional
software entitled Protection Access
Software and Toolkit is available to
give access to the event recorder,
together with other additional
functions.
Each relay is directly addressable via
the bus to allow communication with
the PC. It should be noted that
protection tripping and blocking
signals are not routed via the K-Bus.
Separate conventional wiring is used
for these functions.

Remote access user interface

The menu can be accessed via the
remote communications facility.
This allows all of the menu cells in a
section to be displayed on the screen
of a PC. Changes to the menu cell
can be made from the PC keyboard.
Relay interconnection
Three communication ports are
available: the front panel, nonisolated IEC870 port; the rear,
isolated IEC870 port; and the K-Bus
port. The IEC870 ports use RS232
signal levels and allow point-to-point
connection. It is applicable when
networking is not required or during
commissioning.
Alternatively, the relays can be
connected via a shielded, twisted pair
called K-Bus. Up to 32 relays may be
connected in parallel to the bus.
K-Bus can be connected through a
protocol converter, type KITZ, either
directly or via a modem, to the RS232
port of a PC. K-Bus is RS485 based
and runs at 64kbits/s. The K-Bus
connection is shown in Figure 9.
