Solution
The OMICRON Test Universe offers the test module QuickCMC to
perform manual tests. QuickCMC offers the advantage, that it is
simple and easy to operate. Yet it provides the functionality to
independently adjust up to sixteen voltage or current generators in
terms of amplitude and phase angle, to vary the system frequency, to
manually step or automatically ramp all quantities and to perform
simple timing tests. A vector diagram shows the specified analog
output quantities graphically. A reporting function is incorporated.
QuickCMC is designed to be used for quick and easy tests, and is
ideally used stand alone, although it can also be used as part of the
OMICRON Control Center.

The compliance voltage of the current outputs of a CMC 156 and
CMC 256 can be controlled manually - Figure 3-6 3. By default the
compliance voltage is set to maximum enabling the testing of high
burden relays. When injecting low burden test objects for long
periods, e.g. numerical energy meters, it might be desirable to reduce
the compliance voltage to reduce the amount of power and resulting
heat generated inside the linear amplifiers. Too much heat generation
might result in an unexpected over temperature shutdown.

Compiling a Report
As QuickCMC is a manual test module, the instances which should be
reported also have to be specified manually; it would be inefficient to report
or log each manual change specified during a test.
The report function "Add to Report" logs a snapshot of all voltages and
currents, the status of the binary inputs including any timing measurements
made.
Note: It is the responsibility of the tester to activate this function after
each sensible test, or else the data will be lost without notice.

Overcurrent Features
The Overcurrent test module has several useful features for testing
directional and non-directional relays.
4.1.1
Fault Simulation
This test module allows the testing of single phase-, phase to phase and
three phase faults by using a positive sequence model. The negative- and
zero- sequence fault models allows the testing of the negative- and zerosequence functions found in generator and motor protection relays.

4.2.1
Current Discrimination
This method relies on the fact that fault current varies with the
position of the fault in a power system due the impedance between
the source and the fault. Its commonly known as an instantaneous
relay. The relay doesnt have any time delay and will pick-up and trip
if the current threshold is exceeded - Figure 4-3 1.
4.2.2
Time Discrimination
With this method an appropriate time delay is set on the relays
protecting a power system. The quantity of the fault current doesnt
49
have any influence on the time delay, although the current threshold
must be exceeded to initiate the definite time - Figure 4-3 2.

Solution
OMICRON Test Universe has a dedicated test module for testing
overcurrent relays, called Overcurrent.
If only a manual test of pick-up and trip time were required, the test
could have been performed using QuickCMC.
Overcurrent allows the testing of one fault loop at a time. If an
automatic test is desired, i.e. where all fault loops are tested after
each other, the OMICRON Control Center will have to be used. In an
OCC test document an Overcurrent test module can be inserted for
each fault loop or test to be run.
For simplicity, the Overcurrent module will be used stand-alone in this
example.

Advanced Distance provides the same features offered in the Distance
module plus advanced functionality:

y Impedance setting as percentages of zone reaches (relative
impedance)
y Testing of several fault loops in one test
y Additional user interfaces
5.1.1
Figure 5-1:
Advanced Distance:

69
y Search Test
In the Search test mode, the exact zone borders are determined
automatically. Zone reaches are searched along lines in the
impedance plane using a time-optimized algorithm. It is possible to
define single search lines as well as multiple lines. All the search lines
are entered into the search table. A separate table is available for
each different fault loop.
Figure 5-2:
Advanced Distance:
Search Test View
y Check Test
In the case of routine tests, there is often the need to verify a relays
correct operating characteristic in the shortest possible time. In these
cases a detailed evaluation of the relays performance is usually not
required. The Check test mode allows a quick overall test of the relay
with minimum testing time.
Test lines in the impedance plane are defined in the same way as in
the Search test mode. Instead of determining the exact zone reach
along these lines (which would require many shots which extends the
testing time), shots are only placed at the upper and lower tolerance
border for each intersection of a check line with a zone border. If
these two shots are within their respective time tolerance band, the
reach can be assumed to be somewhere between these two test
points. A verification, that the reach is within tolerance, is thus
possible with just two shots. The operating characteristic can

Advanced Distance
5.1.2
Relative Impedance
This feature, is the ability to set impedance values as percentages of zone
reach. This feature is called relative impedance. Test point data is not
entered in R, X, or Z values. Instead, it is entered as percentages of zone
reach (e.g. 90% of zone 1, 110% of zone 1, 90% of zone 2, etc.). This
makes it possible to create generic test documents without knowing the
relay settings (reaches). When loading the relay parameters, the exact
impedance values are automatically calculated and the relay is tested
accordingly.
This enables the user to use one test template on various relays with
different settings. The relays will all be tested at the same significant points
of the characteristic.

Impedance Protection
A distance relay, as the term distance implies, is a relay that can
determine the location or distance to a fault on the protected
overhead line or cable.
The impedance of an overhead line or cable is directly proportional to
the line length of the protected object. The relay measures the fault
current flowing through the line as well as the voltage at the relay. By
comparing these quantities the impedance of the line up to the point
where a fault occurred can be determined. By comparing the
measured impedance to a predetermined reach setting, the relay can
determine whether the measured impedance is within its zone of
operation. If the measured impedance is less than the reach setting, a
trip will be issued.
5.3.1
Protection Zones
To achieve correct co-ordination between different relays, zones of
protection are implemented. Each zone has an individual reach and
trip time settings. There are normally at least three zones of
protection. For more detailed description refer to NPAG1.
5.3.1.1
Zone 1
Due to the errors of current transformers (CT), voltage transformers
(VT) and the relay itself, the zone 1 reach can not be set to 100 % of
the protected lines impedance as these errors might cause the relay
to overreach, meaning that the relay may trip for faults on adjacent
lines. Therefore the zone 1 reach is normally set to protect only 80 %
of the line. The zone 1 trip time is normally set to instantaneous,
because the zone 1 will operate only for faults on the actual protected
line which can be cleared immediately.
5.3.1.2
Zone 2
Zone 2 covers the remaining 20 % of the line and about 50 % the
shortest adjacent line or 120 % of the protected line which ever is
greater. Care must be taken not to set the zone 2 reach more than the
Network Protection & Automation Guide 1st Edition published by Alstom in July 2002
73
Zone 3
Zone 3 provides back up for faults on adjacent lines. The reach must
be set so that 100 % of the shortest adjacent line is protected, but it
mustnt see faults beyond any transformers at the remote end. Zone 3
is normally set to 180 % of the protected lines impedance. The zone 3
trip time must be set long enough for the adjacent lines zone 2 to
clear the fault and again the breaker trip time must be considered.
Zone 3 trip time is therefore set to at least 1 second.

MHO Characteristic
The characteristic of a Mho impedance element, when plotted on an
R/X diagram, is a circle with the circumference passing through the
origin - Figure 5-11. Therefore this impedance element is directional
and will only operate for faults in the forward direction. The reach Z
is the actual secondary impedance for the protected zone and the
angle is set to the positive sequence angle of the protected line.

The characteristic is provided with individual settings for the reactive

In some cases the reach setting of a Mho characteristic can be so

Solution
The OMICRON Test Universe offers a dedicated test module, Advanced
Distance, for testing the impedance measurement function of distance
relays. This module models the line impedance of a transmission line. It is
recommended that this module is used to test the distance function of the
above relay. A manual test of this function is possible, but it can prove to be
very laborious and time consuming.
Individual fault shots can be placed anywhere in the impedance plane with
the single shot test. The check test places shots at the impedance tolerance
limits of each zone to verify that the reach is within the tolerance limits. The
exact reach of a zone can be determined with the search test.
Normally an automatic test will be carried out. Here the impedance
measurement function (trip time and reach) and all auxiliary functions of the
relay (e.g., Fusefail [or LOP], Manual Close [or SOTF], Auto-reclose,
Powerswing detection, etc.) are tested in one integrated test. This can be
achieved by embedding the Advanced Distance and other test modules into
an OMICRON Control Center document.
To simplify this example, however, the Advanced Distance module is used
stand-alone.

Overview
All differential modules have a similar user interface and can be easily
understood as soon as one of the modules has been grasped. All differential
modules use the same dialog for setting the parameters of the protection
device, the protected object and other relevant system settings. The settings
data is managed globally and made available to each of the test modules.
The test modules differ from each other in function or type of characteristic.

The currents to be injected into the relay on the HV and LV are calculated on

CT Mismatch Correction
For transformer differential schemes the primary rating of the CT
should be selected as close as possible to the full load current of the
transformer. As an exact match is seldom possible,
electromechanical and static relay schemes use custom and
handwound interposing CTs to get the secondary current as close as
possible to the nominal current of the relay, i.e 1 or 5 Amp.
In the newer digital/numerical relays, correction of the secondary
currents is performed internal to the relay. This correction is called the
CT mismatch correction. On some relays the CT mismatch correction
is calculated automatically from the transformer rating, rated voltage
and CT primary rating (e.g. Siemens and SEL). On other relays a
factor, i.e CT mismatch correction factor (CTCF), which is the factor by
which the secondary current must be amplified, has to be calculated
and entered manually (e.g. ABB SPAD, Reyrolle Duobias and Alstom
KBCH)

the same fault only positive and negative sequence current will flow
through the transformers LV winding and CTs. To compare the HV
and LV currents of such a transformer the zero sequence current
must be filtered out on the secondary of the HV side of the
transformer.
The vector group correction interposing CTs perform this task on
electromechanical and static relays. For this reason the interposing
CTs always have to be connected on the star side of a transformer.
Additional zero sequence interposing CTs are sometimes necessary.
The zero sequence currents on digital/numerical relays are eliminated
by the relays algorithm as follows:

Operating Characteristic
A differential relay makes use of a bias/differential characteristic to
allow for stability during through faults and sensitivity for in zone
faults. The characteristic uses either two or three sections depending
on relay manufacturer.
The first section up to nominal current allows for CT errors and
transformer magnetizing current - see Figure 6-2 1.
The second section allows for tap changer operation. The differential
relay is set to work on nominal current, but the current can vary if the

transformer is tapped away from the nominal tap, i.e -5% to +15%
range - see Figure 6-2 2.

Idiff Calculation
The differential current is calculated with the following formula:
I Diff = I p + I s
=> For a through fault condition Ip flows into the relay and Is flows
out of the relay, i.e. Is is 180 out of phase with Ip.
For a vectorial addition thus I Diff = I p
I s can be assumed.

Solution
The OMICRON Test Universe offers dedicated test modules to test the
operating characteristic, the trip time characteristic, the harmonic restraint
characteristic as well as the stability (or configuration) of a differential relay.
All modules model the transformer scheme taking the vector group, CT ratio
and zero sequence elimination into account. For numerical relays the vector
group correction, CT mismatch correction as well as the zero sequence
elimination are performed inside the relay, i.e. in the relay software
algorithm. For such relays interposing CTs are no longer necessary to allow
for the above effects. For testing the relay, however, this requires the relay
to be injected with the exact equivalent of the primary currents flowing in the
transformer scheme. This implies that up to six independent currents are
required to test a two winding transformer scheme.
To calculate all six currents manually is a laborious mathematical
calculation, especially for faults that are not clear through-faults or in-zone
faults. The use of the OMICRON Advanced Differential test modules

Establishing the Wiring between the Relay and the CMC / CMA
Please ensure that the correct operating procedures and test
instructions for your company with respect to testing of relays are
followed and adhered to.
For this example the relay is assumed to be tested stand-alone, i.e. it
is not connected to the electrical system in any way.
In this example the default configuration of a CMC 256 is used to
supply the primary and secondary currents to the relay:
1. Connect the HV current inputs of the relay to the corresponding
current outputs on the CMC 256 Group A.
2. Connect the LV current inputs of the relay to the corresponding
current outputs of the CMC 256 Group B.
3. Ensure that the current outputs of the relay, i.e. the output side of
the current transformers, are connected together in a starpoint, which
is connected to the N terminals of the CMC.
4. Connect the trip signal of the relay to binary input 1 of the CMC see
Figure 6-3 for more detail.

Ramping Features
The most significant features are:
y Any two output signal combinations can be varied simultaneously
with respect to magnitude, phase angle and frequency.
y Up to nine generators can be varied independently.
y Complex ramp state sequences can be constructed, as each ramp
state can be defined individually.
y The ramp states are displayed graphically immediately at definition.
During a test the output ramp states and the corresponding binary
input responses are displayed on-line.
y Individual trigger conditions to stop the ramp state or to continue with
the next ramp can be defined for every ramp state.
y Binary outputs are configurable for each state.
A wide variety of tests can be performed using the Ramping module. The
following are a few examples:
y Relay pick-up test
y Relay drop-out test
y Overcurrent directional test
y Synchronization test (synchro-check)
y Voltage regulator test for transformers
y Voltage regulator test for generators

Detail View
In the Detail view the user can:
y specify the static values for the magnitude, phase angle and
frequency of those analog outputs which are not changed during a
specific ramp state.
y activate or deactivate the binary and/or the transistor outputs during
the execution of individual ramp states.
y set individual trigger conditions for each ramp state.
Note: As the ramp state transitions can occur at any time, i.e.
whenever the relay picks up, the behavior of the phase angle at this
transition needs to be carefully considered.
If the option Force absolute phases is selected, the new state will
start with the absolute phase angles as specified by the user. If the
previous state finished at any other phase angle a phase jump will
thus result.
If the above option is de-selected, the rotation of the phase angle
during the state transition is continuous, i.e. no phase jump will
occur. This means, however, that the absolute phase angles at which
the new state is starting, are adjusted automatically to the phase
angles at which the previous state stopped.
Please refer to the on-line help system of the Ramping module for a
detailed example on this subject.

What is LinkToXrio?
The LinkToXrio functionality allows the user to link certain fields in
Test Modules to parameters defined in the XRIO Converter. This
functionality will update the field link to a XRIO parameter when the
parameter is changed in the XRIO Converter.
The LinkToXrio function makes it possible to create generic test
documents without knowing the relay settings. When loading the
relay parameters, the linked parameters are automatically updated
and the relay is tested accordingly.
This enables the user to use one test template on various relays with
different settings.

Step 2:
This is an ideal application for the State Sequencer, where any number of
voltage or current states can be defined. Transition from one state to the
next is instantaneous and depends either on a fixed time elapsing or on a
trigger condition being met, as defined for the binary inputs.
Normally this test will be incorporated into an automatic test sequence for a
distance relay. In such an instance, the test should be embedded in an
OMICRON Control Center (OCC) document, where it can be integrated with
the tests to verify the reach, trip times, manual close, power swing detection,
etc.
If only a single test needs to be executed, the State Sequencer Module can
also be used stand-alone, as demonstrated in this example.

Transducer
Testing Transducers
Due to the high accuracy of the voltage and current outputs, the CMC test
equipment lends itself to the testing of electrical measurement transducers.
The low level output signal of the transducer is measured by the dedicated
DC analog input. Both manual and automatic calibrations are possible. The
following transducers (amongst others) can be tested:
y Voltage, current and frequency transducers
y Active, apparent and reactive power transducers (single and three
phase, two and three element type)
y Phase angle and power factor transducers
y DC transducers (voltage, current, and power)

Solution
The OMICRON Test Universe offers a dedicated test module Transducer,
which is recommended to be used to test this transducer.
Individual calibration test points can be defined. An automatic test, where all
test points are sequentially tested, can be run. For multi-function
transducers, the various output functions of the transducer can be calibrated
by embedding multiple tests into an OMICRON Control Center document.
To simplify this example, however, the Transducer module is used standalone.

password can change the protection levels and/or change items in the test
document.
To change the protection level of a document:
1. Open the document and select File | Protect..... The Protect dialog
opens.
2. If the Old Password field is active, then the document already has a
password associated with it, and this password needs to be entered
before the protection level can be edited. Type the password in the
Old Password field and change focus, for example by pressing Tab. If
the password was correct the protection levels become enabled for
change.
3. Select the new protection level, and enter a new password for the
document by entering it in the New Password and Confirm New
Password fields. The new protection level is now set, as well as a
new document password, which will be needed to change the
protection level in future.
