L90 Current Differential Relay: Introduction

GE Multilin
Transmission Line Protection Considerations

1) Reliability: has two aspects:
Dependability: the degree of certainty that the relay will operate
correctly.
Security: the relay will not operate incorrectly
2) Speed: Very high power during fault conditions: delays translate into
increased damage: faster protection tends to compromise relay system
security and selectivity.
3) Sensitivity: The minimum operating quantities allows the relay to detect
an abnormal condition. High-impedance ground faults,voltage unbalance
and high source- to- line impedance ratio affect the sensitivity
4) Selectivity: or coordination: ability of the relay system to minimize
outages as a result of a fault by operating as fast as possible within their
primary zone.
5) Simplicity and ergonomics: simple to apply and to obtain maximum
protection for the minimum cost in one box
Terms: Coordination, Unit Protection/None Unit Protection, Primary/Back up
GE Multilin
Transmission Line Protection Considerations

High voltage transmission lines have extremely high level of fault current and
low impedance characteristics. Over current protection can not be as fast as its
needed.
Solutions:
Current Differential:
Unit Protection
Measure the current phasors at both ends of the line. If you have a line fault
there will be a difference in the current magnitude at each end and/or a change
in current phase angle with respect to applied voltage.
Distance or (Impedance):
None Unit Protection
Impedance known as Distance: The distance relay operates by using both
voltage and current to determine if a fault is in a relays zone of protection. At
time of fault Current increases and voltage decreases which translates into a
change in impedance.

For the Internal Timing Mode, the system clock is generated

internally; therefore, the timing switch selection should be Internal
Timing for Relay 1 and Loop Timed for Relay 2. There must be only
one timing source configured.
For the Looped Timing Mode, the system clock is derived from the
received line signal; therefore, the timing selection should be in
Loop Timing Mode for connections to higher order systems.

Compromise between Sensitivity and Security
GE Multilin
Dynamic restraint uses an estimate of a

measurement error to dynamically increase the
restraint
On-line estimation of an error is possible owing to
digital measuring techniques
In digital relaying to measure means to calculate or
to estimate a given signal feature such as magnitude
from the raw samples of the signal waveform
GE Multilin
The L90 measures the current phasors (magnitude

and phase angle) as follows:
1. digital pre-filtering is applied to remove the

decaying dc component and a great deal of high
frequency distortions
2. the line charging current is estimated and used
to compensate the differential signal
3. full-cycle Fourier algorithm is used to estimate
the magnitude and phase angle of the
fundamental frequency (50 or 60Hz) signal

L90 Current Differential Relay:
Breaker-and-a-half
The L90 has
advantages on
systems with breaker-
and-a-half or ring bus
configurations. In these
applications, each of
the two three-phase
sets of individual
phase currents (one
associated with each
breaker) can be used
as an input to a
breaker failure
element.
GE Multilin
Breaker-and-a-half
Benefits:
For restraint forming, maximum of 2 (or more currents is
used). Conventional sum might not provide enough
restraint.
CTs matching is done

internally, different CT
ratios possible
Current are available
individually for BF,
metering etc
GE Multilin
Breaker-and-a-half
Distributed bus
differential
Up to 4 CTs can be
processed
individually and
summed up with
L90. For application
where buses are
located remotely,
this is beneficial as
CT leads dont allow
applying bus
differential.
L90 Current Differential Relay: Charge
GE Multilin current compensation
The L90 calculates the instantaneous values of the line

charging current using the instantaneous values of the
terminal voltage and shunt parameters of the line
The calculated charging current is subtracted from the
actually measured terminal current
The compensation reduces the spurious differential
current and allows for more sensitive settings
The compensating algorithm:
is accurate over wide range of frequencies
works with shunt reactors installed on the line
works in steady state and during transients
works with both wye- and delta-connected VTs (for
delta VTs the accuracy of compensation is limited)
Settings:
Important: The voltage signals used for charging current

compensation are taken from the source assigned with the
CURRENT DIFF SIGNAL SOURCE 1 setting.

Tx Rx
On SONET/SDH system, transmit and receive channel

delays can be different. Normally, Tx_delay=Rx_delay.
If one path is broken, it can be re-routed to another
physical fiber, resulting in Tx_delayRx_delay.
Difference in transmit-receive paths is causing

incorrect synchronization between relays as ping-
pong is operating based on assumption that transmit-
receive delays are the equal.
That results in apparent differential current,
proportional to the value of the channel asymmetry.
If currents and channel asymmetry are high enough,
relay misoperates.

L90 can cope with channel asymmetry as high as up

to 10 ms using GPS signal.
