APPLICATION

The

solid-state

distance

relays

LZ91, LZ92

and

LZ92-l

have

been

designed

for

high-speed

discriminative

protection

applications,

primarily

in

medium-voltage

systems.

They

are

equally

suitable

for

cable

and

overhead

line

circuits

and

the

power

systems

may

be

ungrounded,

impedance

or

solidly

grounded.

When

protecting

extremely

short

lines,

the

distance

relays

are

already

equipped

with

the

logic

to

operate

in

a

directional

comparison

scheme

(permissive

over-

reaching

transfer

tripping)

with

pilot

wires.

The

corresponding

pilot

wire

ancillaries

have

the

type

designations

ER91

and

NR91.

The

relays

are

also

prepared

for

operating

in

conjunction

with

an

auto-reclosure

relay

(e.g.

type

WT91

for

three-phase

reclosure).

All

the

relays

are

of

the

switched

type,

having

starting

units

(fault

detectors)

which

apply

the

correct

fault

quantities

to

a

single

direction

and

distance

determining

measuring

system.

The

starting

units

of

the

LZ91

operate

on

overcur-

rent,

so

that

the

relay

is

simpler

and

more

economical,

but

can

only

be

applied

in

systems

in

which

the

lowest

fault

current

is

clearly

greater

than

the

maximum

load

current.

Both

the

LZ92

and

the

LZ92-l

are

equipped

with

true

underimpedance

uni

ts

(not

just

voltage-controlled

overcurrent)

and

are

thus

capable

of

detec-

ting

weak

faults

at

times

of

low

generation

with

fault

currents

below

the

maximum

load

currents

at

peak

periods.

A

full

description

of

their

operation

is

contained

in

publication

CH-ES

23-92.lOE

MECHANICAL

DESIGN

The

various

plug-in

units

which

make

up

the

relays

are

accommodated

in

standard

19"

electronic

equipment

racks,

and

these

in

turn

are

either

grouped

together

with

other

relays

in

cubicles,

or

fitted

into

casings

for

surface

or

semiflush

switchpanel

mounting.

The

corresponding

dimensioned

drawings

are

in

the

appendi-

ces

to

these

instructions.

The

plug-in

units

have

a

standard

height

of

3,5

U

(U

=

44.45

mm)

and

varying

widths

given

as

a number

of

divisions

T

(T

= 17 mm). One

19"

rack

has

space

for

plug-in

units

adding

up

to

a maximum

of

24

T.

The

standard

versions

of

the

distance

relays

LZ91, LZ92

and

LZ92-l

only

require

20

T,

which

is

less

than

one

full

rack.

The

distance

relays

comprise

the

following

plug-in

units:

-

input

transformer

unit

type

EW91,

width

6

also

containing

and

-

main

processing

unit:

KI91

for

LZ91,

KZ91

for

LZ92

or

KZ91-l

for

LZ92-l.

The

terminals

of

the

main

units

are

compatible

and

they

have

the

same

width.

'rhese

instructions

apply

to

the

basic

versions

of

the

distance

relays,

i.e.

relays

equipped

with

EW91

and

either

KI91,

KZ91

or

KZ91-1

and

also

an

auxiliary

unit.

There

are

two

versions

of

the

and

main

available,

which

have

resulted

from

further

technical

develop-

ment

and

which

are

described

in

these

(see

3.12).

DETERMINING

THE

SETTINGS

All

important

settings

on

the

distance

relays

LZ91, LZ92

and

I,Z92-1

are

thumb-

wheel

switches.

The

corresponding

setting

formulas

are

printed

on

the

frontplate

(see

Figures

9.3

to

9.8).

In

each

case

the

setting

in

the

correct

dimensions

is

obtained

by

inserting

the

number

indicated

on

the

thumbwheel

switches

in

the

formula

and

working

it

out.

The

settings

themselves

(e.g.

impedance

of

the

under

impedance

starting

uni

ts)

are

printed

in

italics.

Settings

which

are

normally

only

made

once

during

commissioning

are

miniature

switches

located

on

the

PCB's.

Information

relating

to

these

settings

is

marked

on

the

frontplate

of

the

KI91,

KZ91

respectively

KZ91-l

behind

the

hinged

flap

of

the

equipment

rack

(Figures

9.

3

to

9.

8) . A

symbol

shows

on

which

PCB

the

particular

functional

switch

is

to

be

found.

The

PCB's

in

the

units

KI91,

KZ91

respectively

KZ91-1

are

numbered

from

left

to

right

from

the

front

and

as

marked

on

the

frontplate.

(There

is

no

PCB

in

KI91.)

The

pick-up

of

the

must

be

at

the

very

least

so

high

that

it

cannot

be

reached

by

the

maximum

current

in

healthy

phases.

The

following

must

be

taken

into

account

when

calculating

this

current:

-

In

the

case

of

double-circuit

lines

the

load

current

can

briefly

double

when

one

line

is

tripped.

-

An

additional

balancing

current

IA

can

flow

in

the

healthy

phases

during

earth

faults.

A

relay

which

has

picked

up

must

also

be

able

to

reset

at

the

level

of

the

maximum

load

current

I

after

a

fault

has

been

tripped

in

of

the

Underimpedance

starting

The

following

two

frontplate

(KZ91

settings

apply

to

the

underimpe-

units:

-

the

pick-up

of

the

element

-

the

reach

of

the

underimpedance

3.2.2.l

Neutral

The

criterion

for

the

highest

setting

is:

-The

earth

fault

detector

must

pick

up

for

all

earth

faults

in

grounded

systems,

respectively

all

cross-country

faults

in

ungrounded

or

impedance

grounded

systems

which

lie

within

the

set

reach

of

the

underimpedance

units.

The

criterion

for

the

lowest

setting

is:

-

The

earth

fault

detector

may

not

pick

up

for

an

earth

fault

on

a

single

conductor

of

an

ungrounded

or

impdance

grounded

system.

-

The

earth

fault

detector

may

not

pick

up

during

heavy

phase

faults

due

to

spurious

neutral

currents

caused

by

c.t.

errors.

A

typically

recommended

value

is

I,r

If

there

is

both

these

a

be

added

to
