EuroProt familija
DIGITAL OVERCURRENT PROTECTION
 
The digital complex overcurrent protection of type DTI2-EP is part of device family named EuroProt. This short description contains special data of this type. General and common features of EuroProt family can be found in the EuroProt system information sheet. Accordingly it is proposed to study both this short description and system information sheet too, in order to understand the device entirely.

 
DTI2-EP
 
Application field
 
The digital complex overcurrent protection of type DTI2-EP with independent or dependent time delaying is used in generating, transmitting and distributing establishments as well as at consumers of an electric power system on such fields where short circuits, faults or abnormal operations cause overcurrent exceeding the rated current, hence the events caused overcurrent can selectively be catched by overcurrent relays. Typical application field is a protection for short circuit, back up protection and protection agains overloading.
 
Main features
 
  • the overcurrent protection is designed by phase (3x[I>, I>>]; 2x[I>, I>>])
  • three or two phase type may be required (3f, 2f)
  • the protection may be completed with zero sequence overcurrent relais (3Io>, 3Io>>)
  • the 3Io> design may be completed with zero sequence directional detection as well (Io j)
  • the overcurent relais may be separately set to independent or dependent characteristic
  • the dependent characteristic may be set to normal inverse, very inverse, extremly inverse and long time earth fault inverse characteristic, according to the equations as follows:

    Normal inverse
    Very inverse
    Extremly inverse
    Long time earth fault inverse
    t = k * 0,14 / (I0,02-1)
    t = k * 13,5 / (I-1)
    t = k * 80 / (I2-1)
    t = k * 120 / (I-1)

  • by the help of a digital software matrix, each overcurrent relais starting and the two additional timers can make operating of the output relais, starting their timers and the two additional timers
  • the overcurrent relais may be set in per cent of the main C.T. rated value, which should be set
  • operation field (greatest and smallest angle values) as well as hysteresis angle range (resetting ratio) of the zero sequence angle relay may be set
  • programming, checking of the protection, reading of the stored events, receiving on-line informations is possible by a menu system with the aid of a built in man-machine connection means (six pushbuttons, LCD display with 2x16 characters)
  • its handling may be carried out by an external PC (e.g. by a laptop) or by a central computer (e.g. SCADA)
  • the protection is provided with automatic and manually started self monitoring system
Working principle
 
Input currents of the device through inductive auxiliary C.T. and analogue low pass filter go to the multiplexer, and the S/H, where each phase current and the zero sequence current will be sampled by 0.5 ms, and each overcurrent stage is separately applied to each input currents.

The time delaying of the eight overcurrent relais may be independently set. The high and low setting stages may also be separately set.

Inverse characteristics may be chosen according to the equations written above.
Arbitrary working range of the angle (e.g. sinj, cosj, 45°) may be chosen for the directional earth fault relay (Io j).

Logical connections between the protection units as well as the timers and the output relais may be programmed by a digital (software) matrix.

A continuous and a periodical monitoring system is buit into the device. The continuous monitoring system checks the supply voltage. The periodical monitoring system starts daily in a preset time, and when it is started by hand with the aid of the Control menu point of the Parametring basic menu. Both monitoring system gives alarm and automatic message appears on the LCD display when a fault is found.

If the protection works also a message appears on the LCD display.

The protection workings will be stored by an event log with 50 events memory, and by an event sequence recorder with 1 ms resolution and 300 events memory. The event log and the event sequence recorder may be read through series line.

Design, size
 

The digital complex overcurrent protection of type DTI2-EP is an EuroProt device so it has designs of two different kinds. The one may be put to a standard cabinet of 19". The other design is an independent relay case. There are three different sizes for the design suitable to the given protection and SCADA tasks.Widths are 235, 341 ili 448 mm. Other dimensions are given in the figure below (hight 250 mm, depth 250 mm).
