1.2 Application

This document specifies the functions of the negative-phase-sequence function blocks

NPS3Low and NPS3High used in products based on the RED 500 Platform. The low-
set stage and the high-set stage are identical in operation.

The function blocks NPS3Low and NPS3High are designed for negative-phase-
sequence protection whenever the operating characteristic is appropriate. They are
applied for the protection of power generators or synchronous motors against thermal
stress and damage.
(See Figure 5).

2. Description of Operation

2.1 Configuration

Phase currents can be measured via conventional current transformers or Rogowski

coils. The measuring devices and signal types for the analogue channels are selected
and configured in a special dialogue box of the Relay Configuration Tool included in
the CAP 505 Tool Box. Digital inputs are configured in the same programming
environment (the number of selectable analogue inputs, digital inputs and digital
outputs depends on the hardware used).

When the analogue channels and digital inputs have been selected and configured in
the dialogue box, the inputs and outputs of the function block can be configured on a
graphic worksheet of the configuration tool.

In case of three phase currents (Figure 3), the phase currents IL1, IL2 and IL3 are
connected to the corresponding IL1, IL2 and IL3 inputs of the function block, whereas
in case of two phase currents (Figure 4), the phase currents are connected to the first
two phase current inputs and the third analogue input is left unconnected.

Digital inputs are connected to the boolean inputs of the function block and in the
same way, the outputs of the function block are connected to the output signals.

Figure 3. Configuration example in case of three phase currents

Figure 4. Analogue channel connections in case of two phase currents

5
NPS3 _ Substation Automation

In the input data and recorded data fields, the monitored phase currents are those
actually connected to the corresponding inputs. For example, if the analogue channel
IL3 is connected to the input IL1, the value of the “Current IL1” parameter is actually
the value of phase current IL3.

The ROT_DIR input is used for motor protection. If status information about the
motor rotation direction is available, it can be connected to the ROT_DIR input of the
function block. In this case the control setting parameter “Dir. selection” must be set
to value “Input rot.dir.”, which means the measured negative-sequence current and the
operation of the function block are independent of the motor rotation direction.

2.2 Configuration error checking

When the relay is started, the function block checks that at least two phase currents
are connected to the first two analogue inputs. If two currents are not connected, the
ERR output is activated and the error event E13 is sent.

If the phase currents are connected in a different order compared to the configuration
examples, the error event is not sent and the ERR output is not activated. In these
cases, however, the control setting parameter “Dir. selection” must be set to
“Reverse” value to achieve correct operation.

2.3 Measuring mode

Negative phase-sequence current can be calculated from two- or three-phase currents.

The number of phase currents is set via the control setting parameter ”Num. of
phases”. If only two phase currents are connected, the value of “Num. of phases”
parameter is always two and cannot be changed. The negative-sequence current
calculation is based on fundamental-frequency phase currents.

When three-phase currents are used, the negative-sequence current is calculated as

follows:

I2 = 1
3 I R + I S ∠240° + I T ∠120°

where IR, IS and IT are phase currents.

In case of two-phase currents, the value of the neutral current is assumed to be 0, that
is, IR+IS+IT=0. Thus, the negative-sequence current is calculated as follows:

3
I2 = I R + I T ∠ 60 °
3
where IR and IT are phase currents.

2.4 Operation criteria

The function block has the two operation modes “Definite time” and “Inverse time”.
The type of operation is selected via the setting parameter ”Operation mode”.

In both operation modes the function block starts if the calculated negative phase-
sequence exceeds the set start current, which is set via the “Start value” parameter.
The parameter is common to the two operation modes.

Note! The default value of the “Start value” parameter is 20% of nominal, which is
usual for motor protection. Generators are more sensitive to current unbalance and the
negative sequence current value that a generator can stand continuously is usually
between 5% and 10%. Therefore in case of generator protection a safer value for the
“Start value” parameter is 5%.

2.4.1 Definite-time operation

The function block trips when the measured negative phase-sequence has remained
over the set limit for the time set via the “Operate time” parameter. The “Operate
time” parameter is used only in the definite-time operation.

When the function block trips, the BLOCK_OUT output is activated and will remain
active for the set time. The cooling time is set via the “Cooling time” parameter. The
same parameter is also used in the inverse-time operation. The BLOCK_OUT signal
is used to prevent the auto-reclosing of an overheated generator.

TRIP

Cooling time

BLOCK_OUT

Figure 5. Use of the “Cooling time” parameter

For intermittent faults, the definite-time operation includes the delayed reset function.
Without the delayed reset function the DT timer would reset once the negative-
sequence current drops off.

When the DT timer has started, it goes on running normally even if the current drops
off, provided the drop-off period is shorter than the set drop-off time. If the drop-off
period is longer than the set drop-off time, the DT timer will reset when the drop-off
time elapses (Figure 6).

7
NPS3 _ Substation Automation

In Figures 6 and 7 the input signal IN of the DT timer is TRUE when the current is
above the set start value and FALSE when the current is below the set start value.

2.4.2 Inverse-time operation

The operate time of the function block in the inverse-time mode is expressed
mathematically as follows :

K
t= 2
æ I2 ö
ç ÷ − StartValue 2
è IN ø

where
t relay operate time in seconds
I2 negative-sequence current
IN rated current of the machine
Start value Setting parameter that corresponds to the continuous negative-
sequence current withstand of the machine, the I2 current
expressed in xIN (rated current of the machine)
K Setting parameter that corresponds to the machine constant,
equal to the I22t constant of the machine, as stated by the
machine manufacturer

Operate time (s)

Figure 8. The time/negative sequence current characteristics of NPS3Low and

NPS3High
When the measured negative-sequence current exceeds the set start current I2, the
function block starts accumulating a sum, the accumulate rate being proportional to
the subtraction of the squared value of the actual negative-sequence current and the

9
NPS3 _ Substation Automation

squared value of the “Start value” parameter. When the sum exceeds the level
corresponding to the setting parameter K, the function block operates. The higher the
degree of current unbalance, the faster the sum increases, and as the operate level of
the sum is defined only by the constant K, the negative-sequence relay will have an
inverse-time operating characteristic which conforms to the thermal load
characteristic of a rotating machine. When the overload disappears, the subtraction
(I22 - StartValue2) becomes negative and the sum decreases. Thus, decrease of the sum
indicates cooling of the machine, and the cooling speed depends on the value of the I2
current. When the sum reaches 0, the accumulation is stopped.

The accumulation is also stopped and the sum is set to 0 if the negative-sequence
current remains below the set limit for the set cooling time. Another purpose of the
“Cooling time” parameter is to keep the BLOCK_OUT signal active after tripping for
the set time. The BLOCK_OUT signal is used to prevent the auto-reclosing of the
overheated generator.

In inverse-time operation, the delay of the START output can be set via the parameter
“Start delay”. The start delay can be used for definite-time alarming when the START
output is used as an alarm output. The set start delay does not affect the operate time
of the function block.

The maximum operate time is limited for long-time low-level negative-sequence

currents. The maximum operate time can be set via the “Maximum time” parameter
and the minimum operate time via the “Minimum time” parameter. The meaning of
the minimum and maximum time settings is illustrated in the figure below.

The setting parameters “K”, “Start delay”, “Minimum time” and “Maximum time” do
not affect the definite-time mode.

2.5 Setting groups

Two different groups of setting values, group 1 and group 2, are available for each
function block. Switching between the two groups can be done in the following three
ways:

1 Locally via the control parameter “Group selection”1) of the MMI

2 Over the communication bus by writing the parameter V21)
3 By means of the input signal GROUP when allowed via the parameter “Group
selection” (i.e. when V2 = 21))
1)
Group selection (V2): 0 = Group 1; 1 = Group 2; 2 = GROUP input

The control parameter “Active group” indicates the setting group valid at a given
time.

2.6 Test mode

The digital outputs of the function block can be activated with separate control
parameters for each output either locally via the MMI or externally via the serial
communication. When an output is activated with the test parameter, an event
indicating the test is generated.

The protection functions operate normally while the outputs are tested.

2.7 START, TRIP and CBFP outputs

The output signal START is always pulse-shaped. The minimum pulse width of the
corresponding output signal is set via a separate parameter on the MMI or on serial
communication. If the start situation is longer than the set pulse width, the START
signal remains active until the start situation is over.

The output signal TRIP may have a non-latching or latching feature. When the
latching mode has been selected, the TRIP signal remains active until the output is
reset even if the operation criteria have reset.

Each function block provides a delayed trip signal CBFP after the TRIP signal unless
the fault has disappeared during the set CBFP time delay. In circuit-breaker failure
protection, the CBFP output can be used to operate a circuit breaker in front of the
circuit breaker of the machine. The control parameter “Trip pulse” also sets the width
of the CBFP output signal.

11

2.8 Resetting

The TRIP output signal and the registers can be reset either via the RESET input, or
over the serial bus or the local MMI.

The operation indicators, latched trip signal and recorded data can be reset as follows:

3. Parameters and Events

3.1 General

• Each function block has a specific channel number for serial communication
parameters and events. The channel for NPS3Low is 77 and that for NPS3High 78.
• The data direction of the parameters defines the use of each parameter as follows:
Data direction Description
R, R/M Read only
W Write only
R/W Read and write

• The different event mask parameters (see section “Control settings”) affect the
visibility of events on the MMI or on serial communication (LON or SPA) as
follows:
Event mask 1 (FxxxV101/102) SPA / MMI (LON)
Event mask 2 (FxxxV103/104) LON
Event mask 3 (FxxxV105/106) LON
Event mask 4 (FxxxV107/108) LON

For example, if only the events E3, E4 and E5 are to be seen on the MMI of the
relay terminal, the event mask value 56 (8 + 16 + 32) is written to the “Event mask
1” parameter (FxxxV101).
In case a function block includes more than 32 events, there are two parameters
instead of e.g. the “Event mask 1” parameter: the parameter “Event mask 1A”
(FxxxV101) covers the events 0...31 and “Event mask 1B”(FxxxV102) the events
32...63.

4. Technical Data
Operation accuracies Depends on the frequency of the current measured:

f/fn = 0.95...1.05: ± 2.5% of set value or ± 0.01 x In.

Start time Injected negative-seq. current = 2.00 x start value:

f/fn = 0.95...1.05 internal time < 32 ms

1)
total time < 40 ms

Reset time 40...1000 ms

(depends on the minimum pulse width set for the TRIP output)

Reset ratio Typ. 0.96 (range 0.95...0.98) in definite-time mode

Retardation time Total retardation time when the negative-

sequence current drops below the start value2) < 45 ms

Operate time accuracy Depends on the frequency of the current measured:

in definite-time mode
f/fn = 0.95...1.05: ± 2% of set value or ± 20 ms2)

Accuracy class index E Depends on the frequency of the current measured:

in inverse-time mode
f/fn = 0.95...1.05: ± 2% of the calculated ideal operate time or ± 20
ms2)

Configuration data Task execution interval (Relay Configuration Tool):10 ms

at the rated frequency fn = 50 Hz
1)
Includes the delay of the signal relay
2)
Includes the delay of the heavy-duty output relay
