2GENERAL
The AQ-F3x0 feeder protection IED is a member of the AQ-300 product line. The AQ-300
protection product line in respect of hardware and software is a modular device. The
hardware modules are assembled and configured according to the application IO
requirements and the software determines the available functions. This manual describes
the specific application of the AQ-F3x0 feeder protection IED.
Arcteq protection IED can be ordered in two mechanical sizes. The AQ-F350 comes in half
of 19 inch rack arrangement and the AQ-F390 comes in full 19 inch rack arrangement
allowing for larger quantity of IO cards. The functionality is the same in both units.
The AQ-F3x0 feeder protection IED is applicable as a main protection for medium voltage
and sub-transmission and as a back-up protection for high voltage and extra high voltage
transmission lines.

3.1 MEASUREMENTS
3.1.1 CURRENT MEASUREMENTS AND SCALING
If the factory configuration includes a current transformer hardware module, the current
input function block is automatically configured among the software function blocks.
Separate current input function blocks are assigned to each current transformer hardware
module.
A current transformer hardware module is equipped with four special intermediate current
transformers. As usual, the first three current inputs receive the three phase currents (IL1,
IL2, IL3), the fourth input is reserved for zero sequence current, for the zero sequence
current of the parallel line or for any additional current. Accordingly, the first three inputs
have common parameters while the fourth current input needs individual setting.
The role of the current input function block is to
•set the required parameters associated to the current inputs,
•deliver the sampled current values for disturbance recording,
•perform the basic calculations
oFourier basic harmonic magnitude and angle,
oTrue RMS value;
•provide the pre-calculated current values to the subsequent software function
blocks,
•deliver the calculated Fourier basic component values for on-line displaying.
The current input function block receives the sampled current values from the internal
operating system. The scaling (even hardware scaling) depends on parameter setting, see
parameters Rated Secondary I1-3 and Rated Secondary I4. The options to choose from are
1A or 5A (in special applications, 0.2A or 1A). This parameter influences the internal number
format and, naturally, accuracy. A small current is processed with finer resolution if 1A is
selected.
If needed, the phase currents can be inverted by setting the parameter Starpoint I1-3. This
selection applies to each of the channels IL1, IL2 and IL3. The fourth current channel can
be inverted by setting the parameter Direction I4. This inversion may be needed in
protection functions such as distance protection, differential protection or for any functions
with directional decision.

Phase currents are connected to summing “Holmgren” connection into the I0

The sampled values are available for further processing and for disturbance recording.
The performed basic calculation results the Fourier basic harmonic magnitude and angle
and the true RMS value. These results are processed by subsequent protection function
blocks and they are available for on-line displaying as well.

Instruction manual –AQ F3x0 Feeder protection IED 12 (162)
The function block also provides parameters for setting the primary rated currents of the
main current transformer (Rated Primary I1-3 and Rated Primary I4). This function block
does not need that parameter settings. These values are passed on to function blocks such
as displaying primary measured values, primary power calculation, etc.
Table 3-2 Enumerated parameters of the current input function
Table 3-3 Floating point parameters of the current input function
Table 3-4 Online measurements of the current input function
NOTE1: The scaling of the Fourier basic component is such that if pure sinusoid 1A RMS
of the rated frequency is injected, the displayed value is 1A. The displayed value does not
depend on the parameter setting values “Rated Secondary”.
NOTE2: The reference of the vector position depends on the device configuration. If a
voltage input module is included, then the reference vector (vector with angle 0 degree) is

Instruction manual –AQ F3x0 Feeder protection IED 13 (162)
the vector calculated for the first voltage input channel of the first applied voltage input
module. If no voltage input module is configured, then the reference vector (vector with
angle 0 degree) is the vector calculated for the first current input channel of the first applied
current input module. (The first input module is the one, configured closer to the CPU
module.)
3.1.2 VOLTAGE MEASUREMENTS AND SCALING
If the factory configuration includes a voltage transformer hardware module, the voltage
input function block is automatically configured among the software function blocks.
Separate voltage input function blocks are assigned to each voltage transformer hardware
module.
A voltage transformer hardware module is equipped with four special intermediate voltage
transformers. As usual, the first three voltage inputs receive the three phase voltages (UL1,
UL2, UL3), the fourth input is reserved for zero sequence voltage or for a voltage from the
other side of the circuit breaker for synchro switching.
The role of the voltage input function block is to
•set the required parameters associated to the voltage inputs,
•deliver the sampled voltage values for disturbance recording,
•perform the basic calculations
oFourier basic harmonic magnitude and angle,
oTrue RMS value;
•provide the pre-calculated voltage values to the subsequent software modules,
•deliver the calculated basic Fourier component values for on-line displaying.
The voltage input function block receives the sampled voltage values from the internal
operating system. The scaling (even hardware scaling) depends on a common parameter
“Range” for type selection. The options to choose from are 100V or 200V, no hardware
modification is needed. A small voltage is processed with finer resolution if 100V is selected.
This parameter influences the internal number format and, naturally, accuracy.
There is a correction factor available if the rated secondary voltage of the main voltage
transformer (e.g. 110V) does not match the rated input of the device. The related parameter
is “VT correction“. As an example: if the rated secondary voltage of the main voltage
transformer is 110V, then select Type 100 for the parameter “Range” and the required value
to set here is 110%.

Instruction manual –AQ F3x0 Feeder protection IED 14 (162)
The connection of the first three VT secondary windings must be set to reflect actual
physical connection of the main VTs. The associated parameter is “Connection U1-3“. The
selection can be: Ph-N, Ph-Ph or Ph-N-Isolated.
The Ph-N option is applied in solidly grounded networks, where the measured phase
voltage is never above 1.5-Un. In this case the primary rated voltage of the VT must be the
value of the rated PHASE-TO-NEUTRAL voltage.
Figure 3-3 Phase to neutral connection. Connection U1-3
Ph-N Voltage:
Rated Primary U1-3: 11.55kV (=20kv/√3)
Range: Type 100
Residual voltage:
Rated Primary U4: 11.54A
If phase-to-phase voltage is connected to the VT input of the device, then the Ph-Ph option
is to be selected. Here, the primary rated voltage of the VT must be the value of the rated
PHASE-TO-PHASE voltage. This option must not be selected if the distance protection
function is supplied from the VT input.

Instruction manual –AQ F3x0 Feeder protection IED 15 (162)
Figure 3-4 Phase-to-phase connection.
Ph-N Voltage:
Rated Primary U1-3: 20kV
Range: Type 100
Residual voltage:
Rated Primary U4: 11.54kV
(=20kv/√3)
The fourth input is reserved for zero sequence voltage or for a voltage from the other side
of the circuit breaker for synchron switching. Accordingly, the connected voltage must be
identified with parameter setting “Connection U4“. Here, phase-to-neutral or phase-to-
phase voltage can be selected: Ph-N, Ph-Ph.
If needed, the phase voltages can be inverted by setting the parameter “Direction U1-3“.
This selection applies to each of the channels UL1, UL2 and UL3. The fourth voltage
channel can be inverted by setting the parameter “Direction U4“. This inversion may be
needed in protection functions such as distance protection or for any functions with
directional decision, or for checking the voltage vector positions.
These modified sampled values are available for further processing and for disturbance
recording.
The function block also provides parameters for setting the primary rated voltages of the
main voltage transformers. This function block does not need that parameter setting but
these values are passed on to function blocks such as displaying primary measured values,
primary power calculation, etc.

NOTE: The rated primary voltage of the channels is not needed for the voltage input function
block itself. These values are passed on to the subsequent function blocks.

Table 3-8 On-line measured analogue values of the voltage input function
NOTE1: The scaling of the Fourier basic component is such if pure sinusoid 57V RMS of
the rated frequency is injected, the displayed value is 57V. The displayed value does not
depend on the parameter setting values “Rated Secondary”.
NOTE2: The reference vector (vector with angle 0 degree) is the vector calculated for the
first voltage input channel of the first applied voltage input module. The first voltage input
module is the one, configured closer to the CPU module.
3.1.3 LINE MEASUREMENT
The input values of the AQ300 devices are the secondary signals of the voltage
transformers and those of the current transformers.
These signals are pre-processed by the “Voltage transformer input” function block and by
the “Current transformer input” function block. The pre-processed values include the Fourier
basic harmonic phasors of the voltages and currents and the true RMS values. Additionally,
it is in these function blocks that parameters are set concerning the voltage ratio of the
primary voltage transformers and current ratio of the current transformers.
Based on the pre-processed values and the measured transformer parameters, the “Line
measurement” function block calculates - depending on the hardware and software
configuration - the primary RMS values of the voltages and currents and some additional
values such as active and reactive power, symmetrical components of voltages and
currents. These values are available as primary quantities and they can be displayed on the
on-line screen of the device or on the remote user interface of the computers connected to
the communication network and they are available for the SCADA system using the
configured communication system.

Instruction manual –AQ F3x0 Feeder protection IED 18 (162)
3.1.3.1 Reporting the measured values and the changes
It is usual for the SCADA systems that they sample the measured and calculated values in
regular time periods and additionally they receive the changed values as reports at the
moment when any significant change is detected in the primary system. The “Line
measurement” function block is able to perform such reporting for the SCADA system.
3.1.3.2 Operation of the line measurement function block
The inputs of the line measurement function are
•the Fourier components and true RMS values of the measured voltages and
currents
•frequency measurement
•parameters.
The outputs of the line measurement function are
•displayed measured values
•reports to the SCADA system.
NOTE: the scaling values are entered as parameter setting for the “Voltage transformer
input” function block and for the “Current transformer input” function block.
3.1.3.3 Measured values
The measured values of the line measurement function depend on the hardware
configuration. As an example, table shows the list of the measured values available in a
configuration for solidly grounded networks.

Instruction manual –AQ F3x0 Feeder protection IED 19 (162)
Table 3-9 Example: Measured values in a configuration for solidly grounded networks
Another example is in figure, where the measured values available are shown as on-line
information in a configuration for compensated networks.
Figure 3-5 Measured values in a configuration for compensated networks
The available quantities are described in the configuration description documents.

Instruction manual –AQ F3x0 Feeder protection IED 20 (162)
3.1.3.4 Reporting the measured values and the changes
For reporting, additional information is needed, which is defined in parameter setting. As an
example, in a configuration for solidly grounded networks the following parameters are
available:
Table 3-10 The enumerated parameters of the line measurement function.
The selection of the reporting mode items is explained in next chapters.
3.1.3.5 “Amplitude” mode of reporting
If the “Amplitude” mode is selected for reporting, a report is generated if the measured value
leaves the deadband around the previously reported value. As an example, Figure 1-2
shows that the current becomes higher than the value reported in “report1” PLUS the
Deadband value, this results “report2”, etc.
For this mode of operation, the Deadband parameters are explained in table below.
The “Range” parameters in the table are needed to evaluate a measurement as “out-of-
range”.
