What precautions should be taken when configuring REX 521 protective relays?

What precautions should be taken when configuring REX 521 protective relays?

Basic configuration preparation

Clarify application scenarios and requirements

Determine the protected objects: lines, transformers, motors, etc. Different objects require corresponding protection functions to be enabled (such as motors requiring startup monitoring and thermal overload protection).

System grounding method: neutral point directly grounded, grounded through arc suppression coil, or ungrounded system, affecting the configuration of grounding fault protection (such as high resistance grounding requiring REF1A function to be enabled).

Short circuit current calculation: Calculate the maximum/minimum short-circuit current based on the system impedance, which is used to set the overcurrent protection threshold.


Hardware configuration verification

Confirm model and version: Check if the hardware version (Basic/Medium/High/Sensor) matches the requirements, such as the need to configure an additional adapter for IEC 61850 communication.

I/O interface allocation: Reasonably plan digital inputs (DI) for status acquisition (such as circuit breaker position), digital outputs (DO) for tripping/alarm, and reserve backup interfaces.

Power compatibility: Ensure that the power supply voltage (DC 18-265V/AC 85-240V) is consistent with the site to avoid misoperation caused by undervoltage.


Key points for setting protection functions

Current protection parameter setting

Overcurrent protection (3I>):

Action current: Set according to the normal load current, usually 1.2-1.5 times the rated current.

Time characteristics: Choose definite time (DT) or inverse time (IDMT) according to system selectivity requirements, and the inverse time curve can be selected according to IEC or ANSI standards.

Differential protection (if any):

Balance coefficient: automatically calculated based on transformer ratio and wiring group to ensure zero differential current during normal operation.

Braking coefficient: usually set to 0.3-0.5 to prevent misoperation in case of faults outside the area.

Voltage and frequency protection

Overvoltage/undervoltage protection (3U>, 3U<<):

Action value: Overvoltage is generally 1.1-1.3 times the rated voltage, and undervoltage is 0.7-0.9 times the rated voltage.

Delay: Set according to the allowed voltage fluctuation time of the system, such as the need for motor restart.

Frequency protection (f1/f2):

Action value: Under frequency is generally 47-49Hz, over frequency is 51-52Hz.

Special function: Enable df/dt change rate detection to suppress system oscillation triggering errors.

Earth fault protection

Neutral point grounding method:

Direct grounding system: adopting zero sequence current protection (Io>), the operating current is set to avoid the maximum unbalanced current.

Non directly grounded system: adopting zero sequence voltage protection (Uo>) or directional zero sequence current protection (67N).

High resistance grounding fault: Enable REF1A function to detect high resistance grounding by comparing the sum of neutral point current and three-phase current.

Special function configuration

Automatic reclosing (O ->I):

Overlap frequency: generally 1-3 times, permanent faults require locking of overlap.

Dead time: adjustable from 0.2-300s seconds, which should be greater than the detachment time of the fault point (usually 0.5-1 seconds).

Circuit Breaker Failure Protection (CBFP):

Starting condition: After the tripping command is issued, there is no feedback change in the position of the circuit breaker.

Action delay: 100-1000ms, which should be greater than the inherent opening time of the circuit breaker.


Communication and System Integration

Protocol selection and parameter configuration

Communication protocol:

Traditional system: Choose Modbus RTU/ASCII or DNP 3.0, configure baud rate (9600-115200bps), parity check.

IEC 61850 system: Define GOOSE dataset (such as trip commands, alarm information) and SMV subscription relationship through SPA-ZC 400 adapter configuration.

IP address management:

Manually assign static IP addresses to ensure no conflicts with other devices in the network.

The subnet mask and gateway settings must be consistent with the upper computer, and support ping testing to verify connectivity.

Time synchronization configuration

IEEE 1588 v2:

Mode selection: PTP transparent clock or boundary clock, with the main clock priority (Priority 1/2) set to high.

Synchronization accuracy: Ensure ≤± 1 µ s to meet the requirements of distributed protection collaboration.

NTP synchronization: As a backup solution, configure the NTP server address with a synchronization period of 1-60s.

Data Mapping and Monitoring Point Configuration

Telemetry data: Map measured values such as current, voltage, and power to corresponding data points, and set an update cycle (such as 1 second).

Remote signaling data: configure status variables such as circuit breaker position and protection action signals, and define SOE resolution (≥ 1ms).

Remote control point: Set circuit breaker opening and closing control permissions, password verification is required to prevent misoperation.


Engineering implementation and verification

Parameter import and backup

Configuration file management:

Use ABB's CAP 505 tool to import pre configured files to avoid manual input errors.

Back up the current configuration (in. prf format) and restore it to its initial state before upgrading firmware or modifying parameters.

Version control: Record the configuration version and modification time, and establish a change approval process.

Functional testing and validation

Static testing:

Simulate overcurrent/overvoltage signals to verify the accuracy of protection action values and delay (error ≤± 5%).

Test GOOSE communication and check the transmission time of trip command (≤ 3ms).

Dynamic testing:

Circuit breaker opening and closing test, record action time and synchronicity.

During system debugging, verify the selective coordination with adjacent devices (such as the timing of upper and lower level protection actions).

Safety precautions

Prevent accidental tripping:

Enable 'Test Bit' during debugging to avoid actual tripping.

Before disconnecting the trip circuit, confirm that the protective outlet pressure plate has exited.

Anti interference measures:

Communication cables and high-voltage cables are laid separately, using shielded cables and reliably grounded.

Set hardware filtering parameters (such as RC filter time constant) to suppress high-frequency interference.


Operation and maintenance

Daily monitoring and inspection

Status monitoring: View operating parameters through HMI or SCADA system, with a focus on:

Circuit breaker wear counter (CB wear 1), reminds maintenance when the threshold is exceeded.

Trip circuit supervision (TCS1) status, promptly troubleshoot in case of abnormalities.

Alarm handling: Set different priority alarms (such as red for emergency tripping and yellow for warning) and establish a response process.

Regular maintenance and upgrades

Firmware upgrade: Upgrade online through CAP 505 tool, backup configuration and confirm compatibility before upgrading.

Hardware inspection: Check the internal module connections, battery level (if equipped), and clean the heat dissipation holes every 1-2 years.

Fault handling

Wave recording analysis: Retrieve fault wave recording data (MEDREC16), analyze fault types, phases, and development processes.

Communication diagnosis: locate communication faults through built-in counters (such as Modbus communication error counting).

summarize

The configuration of REX 521 needs to follow the entire process of "requirement analysis → parameter tuning → communication integration → testing and verification → operation and maintenance optimization", with a focus on matching protection functions with system characteristics, compatibility of communication protocols, and implementation of security measures. Through rigorous configuration and verification, the reliable operation of relays in the power system can be ensured, effectively protecting equipment and personnel safety.
