M-3410A Intertie/Generator Protection Relay

Facilitates standardization for small/medium intertie and generator protection applications

The M-3410A Intertie/Generator Protection Relay is a microprocessor-based unit that uses digital signal processing technology to provide up to twelve protective relaying functions for intertie protection or up to eleven protective relaying functions for generator protection.
Generator Protection
The relay can protect a generator from abnormal voltage, abnormal frequency, motoring (loss of prime mover), phase faults, ground faults, and unbalanced currents. In addition, sync check may be applied for proper connection of the generator to the bus.
Intertie Protection
The relay can protect the utility from having generators island on the distribution system after the utility disconnects power from the feeder. This is accomplished by monitoring the intertie (point of common coupling to the utility) for abnormal voltage, abnormal frequency, ferroresonance and excessive power import/export, which can indicate loss of utility supply. The relay also provides detection of phase and ground faults, as well as current and voltage unbalance on the utility system. In addition, sync check may be applied to supervise closure of the intertie breaker according to the interconnected utility’s practice

The system consists of the M-0272A Transfer Logic Controller and the M-0236B Power Transfer Relay.
Documentation & Software
M-0236B Power Transfer Relay

Synchronous transfer of auxiliary services at a generating plant or the motor load in an industrial plant is highly desirable to prevent either damage to critical motors or an unplanned shutdown. However, a significant induced voltage will remain at the terminals of a rotating machine for a period of time following removal of power. If, during the power transfer sequence, the phase angle of this voltage relative to the auxiliary source is ignored, severe damage to an expensive machine or process may result.

The M-0236B Power Transfer Relay provides a high-speed means to synchronously close a transfer breaker onto the disconnected but still spinning motor load, thereby avoiding damage to the machines. The maximum phase error at the instant of breaker closing is determined by slip rate and the breaker closing time.
Documentation & Software
M-0245C High Speed Sync-Check Relay

High speed transfer of auxiliary services at a generating plant or the motor load in an industrial plant is highly desirable to prevent either damage to critical motors or an unplanned shutdown.

A significant induced voltage will remain at the terminals of a rotating machine for a period of time following removal of power. If, during the power transfer sequence, the phase angle of this voltage relative to the auxiliary source is ignored, severe damage to an expensive machine or process may result. The M-0245C High Speed Sync-Check Relay provides the means necessary to inhibit transfer if the phase angle is excessive or the line voltage is out of range.

M-0194 Generator Control Unit

Works in conjunction with M-0193B Syncrocloser® unit to close breaker at zero degrees phase angle error.

The M-0194 Generator Control Unit matches the generator speed and voltage to system conditions in minimum time with output control jogs that use a proportional pulse width algorithm. The time between control jogs is adjustable to match the response characteristics of the control, prime mover and generator system. The kicker pulse brings phase angle around through zero degrees if speed is matched but synchronism has not yet occurred.

  • Adjustable Jog Durations, proportional to error, for Voltage and Speed control.
  • Time Between Jog adjustments bring the generator to a matched condition in minimum time and eliminate overshoot and hunting.
  • Kicker Pulse brings phase angle around through zero if speed is matched but synchronism has not yet occurred. Adjustable pulse duration compensates for the sensitivity of the governor

Interface

Physical

The M-2980 includes four female meter blade receptacles in an industry standard 100 Amp class meter socket to accept the four meter blades from the M-2501B control. A 5th stab is utilized when the unbalance neutral detection is required. This meter blade receptacles are located inside a NEMA 4X rated weatherproof enclosure that houses the wireless device, as well as power supply and interface circuitry.

Infrared

The IR link from the M-2980 to the M-2501B control consists of an internally routed optical path. The M-2501B contains an IR port exiting the back of the control through the mounting base, in addition to the traditional IR port exiting the bottom of the control through the Lexan™ cover. The rear IR port communicates with the wireless device using an IR port mounted to the rear of the enclosure.

Antenna

The M-2980 antennas are matched to the specific wireless device that the unit is equipped with.

Power

The M-2980 and the attached M-2501B are powered by the VT provided with the switched capacitor bank. The power supply for the radio can be configured for either 12 V or 5 V at 10W and is provided with a 2.0 Amp, fast-acting 3 AG type fuse. The M-2501B Capacitor Control possesses an internal fuse independent of the M-2980.

Neutral Current Unbalance Detection (Optional)

An optional Neutral Current Transformer can be installed around the neutral lead of the capacitor bank. It is sized to handle any expected imbalanced currents without saturation. The CT for Neutral Current detection input allows for the following options:
  • 100:5 Amp CT
  • 100:1 Amp CT
  • 100 Amps to 0.333 V ac
  • The CTs can be either split-core or solid-core
  • CT can be either wired into the terminal board or to 5th stab of meter base
