    PROBLEMS WITH TRANSIENTS AND HOW TO REDUCE THEM

    PROBLEM:These transients may cause:- dielectric stresses in the network- electromechanical stresses on equipment- disturbances

    SOLUTION:Instead of treating the symptoms by means of pre-insertion resistors, damping reactors, upgraded insulation or surge arresters controlled switching treats the root of the problem by controlling the switching instants.

    The transients are to a large extentdepending on the switching instant. POSSIBILITIES:

    REQUIREMENTS ON CIRCUIT-BREAKERS

    What circuit-breaker properties/conditions must be fulfilled to make it work?

    1) RDDS, Rate of Decrease of Dielectric Strength at closing2) RRDS, Rate of Rise of Dielectric Strength at opening

    Circuit-breaker with relatively constant mechanical functioning times, from time to time and with known variation with respect to:

    1) dependence on auxiliary voltage variation2) dependence on ambient temperature variation3) dependence on idle time (inactivity)

    Dynamic voltage withstand properties in the contact gap must be known and suitable so to match the characteristics of the applied and/or recovery voltage across the contact gap:

    RRDS Rate of Rise of Dielectric Strength at opening

    Voltage withstand as a function of contact gap at opening, RRDS, versus recovery voltage at inductive load interruption (reactor de-energising)

    Typical: TARCMIN 4 ms(Shorter arcing times will result in re-ignition)

    RRDS at min. arcing time

    SAFE contact parting area

  • SWG/BTA 2000-03-27 Switchsync.PPT

    RRDS Rate of Rise of Dielectric Strength at opening

    Voltage withstand as a function of contact gap at opening, RRDS, versus recovery voltage at interruption of capacitive current (de-energising of capacitive load)

    TARCMIN = 0 ms(re-ignition and re-strike free for any arcing time)

    RRDS at min. arcing time

    RRDS at average arcing time

    Smallest margin for re-strike free performance

    HOW DOES IT WORK?

    The relay is programmed with known circuit-breaker parameters (for example closing time, pre-arc) and preferred ideal switching instantdepending on actual load case

    This is what the SWITCHSYNC does:

    Analyses, during time TF, and finds reference

    Adapts a waiting time, TV, from accepted referenceTV + TOPEN from reference means programmed contact parting

    TV + TCLOSE TPREARC means current start in pre-determined point

    Gives command at the end of the waiting time, TV

    WHAT APPLICATIONS ARE SUITABLE?

    CE, Capacitor bank Energising. Making at zero voltage across contacts.

    CD, Capacitor bank De-energising. Contact separation far before currentzero.

    RE, Reactor Energising. Making at steady-state flux level.

    RD, Reactor De-energising (50 MVAr). Contact separation far beforecurrent zero. (Chopping over-voltages increases with smaller reactors andreduces the re-ignition free window).

    TE, Transformer Energising. Making at steady-state flux level.

    (TD, Transformer De-energising. Lock remnant flux.)

    STRATEGIES: Frequent planned switchings like:

  • SWG/BTA 2000-03-27 Switchsync.PPT

    WHAT IS ACHIEVED?

    CE, Smooth energising with low transients and reduced over-voltages

    CD, Safe re-strike-free interruption lowers the risk for re-strikes

    RE, Low inrush currents

    RD, Minimised over-voltages by safe re-ignition-free interruption

    TE, Low inrush currents

    TD, Well defined interruption with fixed remnant flux (needed only to fix theconditions before next energising)

    In general: Extended life of circuit-breakers and other equipment because of reduced wear and less stresses.Increased power quality by reduction of voltage transients and inrush currents.

    WHAT ARE THE SOURCES FOR ERRORS?

    For the relay: Inaccuracy, from detection of reference to output command

  • SWG/BTA 2000-03-27 Switchsync.PPT

    COMPENSATIONS

    What are the compensations for CB variations?

    In addition to the adaptation control the client can order:

    Temperature compensation (external, optional)

    Operating voltage compensation (external, optional)

    The external compensations are mainly meant for opening without adaptation

    Adaptation control (internal)- Controls the performed switching and measures the switching time, TM- Adjusts waiting time TV, if necessary, for next switching and expects a next

    switching time, TG- Takes care of systematic but not random variations (wear)- Is used for closing where making instant easily can be detected- For opening it is difficult to detect arcing time

  • SWG/BTA 2000-03-27 Switchsync.PPT

    FUNCTIONING PRINCIPLE OF ADAPTATION CONTROL

    In the network existing current- or voltage transformers are used to detect executed operation. For three-pole operation, the CT feed-back ought to be from the first closing pole (to eliminate risk for cross-talking)

    The SWITCHSYNC checks in adaptive mode the switching timeafter each operation:

    The waiting time for next adaptive operation is given by:

    TGNEW = (TGOLD + TM)/2 where:

    TGNEW = expected next switching time

    TGOLD = expected last switching time

    TM = measured last switching time

    COMPENSATIONS OF NETWORK PARAMETERS

    Frequency control:

    - The relay controls the frequency by measuring the time between 3consecutive voltage zeros with positive derivative (3 cycles) beforecommand is given (in Secure mode)(in Rapid mode (for 16,7 Hz) command is given after first detectedvoltage zero)

    Select Secure mode!

    - If necessary the waiting time will be corrected and adopted to theactual cycle time T, (frequency 15 to 66 Hz)

  • SWG/BTA 2000-03-27 Switchsync.PPT

    WHAT OTHER COMPENSATIONS MAY BE NEEDED?

    Detection delay (TD2 ):Delay of current onset detection, subtract detection delay from pre-arcing time. When to compensate?

    Detection delay (depends on the current) = 3.2 x arccos(1-0.1/ipeak) msthe angle to be expressed in radiansipeak = secondary current from CT expressed in Ampere

    Compensation is done for:reactor energising and forenergising of capacitor bankswith damping reactor (when thecurrent starts smooth andsinusoidal with the systemfrequency).

    STAGGERED CIRCUIT-BREAKERS

    Staggered circuit-breakers, mechanically coupled three-pole operated circuit-breakers are most often adopted for controlled closing. The staggering corresponds to the phase shift expressed by TD1

    HPL: Closing speed is about 60 % of the opening speedThis means that the non-simultaneity at opening is acceptablefor non-controlled de-energising of ungrounded capacitor banks

    LTB-D: Closing- and opening speeds are about the same which meansthat controlled opening most often is required for ungroundedcapacitor banks (the critical phase is then given an arcing timeof about 5 ms).

    Reversed phase order is used to minimise the mechanical time spread needed.

    Example for controlled making of grounded capacitor bank:- One pole is given fast start (slow finish) of the motion- One pole remains standard- One pole is given slow start (fast finish) of the motion

    FUTURE

    ABB Switchgears new L-model (L183) for line re-closing, replaces pre-insertion resistors. The working principle is that the polarity and amplitude of the line voltage is given as a feed-back to the SWITCHSYNC before next closing. Making will then, at auto re-closing, occur at an instant minimising the voltage transients at the far end of the line. If the time to closing is long the SWITCHSYNC will set the target for making at voltage zero (unloaded line), time condition. The model detects when the d.c. level of the trapped charge begins.

    New T-model (T183) is available for transformer energising. Reads the remnant flux by integration of the load side voltage and adapts the making instant based on that.

    CIGRE has started looking at synchronised short-circuit interruption, to optimise the circuit-breaker life time

  • SWG/BTA 2000-03-27 Switchsync.PPT

    NON-COUPLED PHASES

    No magnetic coupling

    Transformer banks, reactor banks and five-limbedreactors/transformers:- no common magnetic flux since voltage in one phase does notcause flux in other phases

    No electrical coupling

    Grounded, Y-connected loads since neutral point fixed Loads without delta-connection

    For these cases all phases can be programmed independent of each other

  • SWG/BTA 2000-03-27 Switchsync.PPT

    COUPLED PHASES

    Magnetic coupling

    Three-limbed reactors/transformers:- the phases are not independent of each other due to commonmagnetic flux

    Electrical coupling

    Ungrounded loads due to floating neutral ?-connected loads since the sum of the voltages must be zero Transformers with at least one delta-winding:

    - electrical coupling that causes magnetic coupling

    The phases are not independent of each other which has to be taken into account when programming

  • SWG/BTA 2000-03-27 Switchsync.PPT

    TO BE AWARE OF:

    Pre-insertion resistors and controlled closing does normally not match:- the RDDS characteristics of the resistor contact gap most often too bad- either one or the other, not both together

    Disturbances:- High secondary currents from CT, in non-shielded or non-twisted cables, may give false feed-back of

    current onset for the last closing poles due to cross-talking

    Current change detection:- Detection threshold may sometimes need be adjusted

    (too low means detection already before making, too high means no detection at all)

    Voltage start detection:- Induced voltage may be enough for detection = ALREADY ON

    Mechanically staggered circuit-breakers:- Make sure that the pole order (A-B-C) fits the phase sequence

    Check the connections and the load conditions:- The client does not always know the type of load

    Check the phase sequence:- FURNAS sequence is C-B-A

    Check the connections:- Does the phase order fit the pole order?
