1.4 HID OVERVIEW
High Impedance Differential protection is a well-known principle where stabilizing resistors provide immunity against
external faults. HID modules provide resistors together with voltage limiters (MOV) to be used with a high-speed
overcurrent relay in order to obtain a high impedance differential protection scheme. External CT's are differentially
connected exactly as for traditional high impedance differential protection relaying.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
2.PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
2.1 INTRODUCTION
2.1.1. GENERAL OVERVIEW
HID modules provide resistors together with voltage limiters (MOV) to be used with high-speed overcurrent relay in
order to get a high impedance differential protection scheme.
The overcurrent relay unit connected in series with the resistors provides high-speed operation for busbar faults
involving high-magnitude currents. A voltage-limiting element is connected in parallel to avoid excessively high CT
secondary voltages, which can damage current inputs when bus faults occurred. Since the overcurrent unit is relied
on only for high magnitude currents, its pickup can easily be set high enough to avoid operation for external faults.
The procedure for determining the necessary settings and the resulting sensitivity to low-current bus faults is very
simple and straightforward, requiring only knowledge of the CT secondary excitation characteristics and their
secondary impedance.
For the best possible results, all CT's should have the same rating, and should be a type, like a bushing CT with a
distributed secondary winding, that has little or no secondary leakage reactance.
A voltage-limiting element is connected in parallel, in order to prevent excessively high CT secondary voltages when
bus faults occurred.
The HID includes voltage-limiting resistors. This feature makes the HID better suited to those applications where high
internal fault currents can be encountered.
Typical applications include high impedance differential protection for busbars and electrical machines, such as
transformers, generators or motors, as well as restricted earth fault protection. HID modules are available in single-
phase models for applications such as restricted earth fault protection in a transformer winding, models with two
resistors for applications in transformers with two grounded windings, and three-phase models for busbar high
impedance differential protection.
Each HID module incorporates 2000-Ohm resistors that provide the associated high impedance relay with stability
against external faults, and varistors (MOV – Metal Oxide Varistors) in order to limit the voltage peak in the secondary
under 2 kV during fault conditions. Additionally, a latching relay is incorporated, whose contacts are aimed to short-
circuit the resistors once the associated relay has tripped. This way, the fault current is prevented from circulating
through the resistors.
The HID front plate incorporates a Reset pushbutton to reset the latching relay once the fault has been cleared, in
order to eliminate the resistors short circuit.
The external overcurrent unit may also be used to supplement with the implementation of breaker failure protection,
since it may include timers, auxiliary contacts, digital inputs and programmable logic.
The combination of HID module with a high-speed overcurrent relay can be applied for bus protection in most cases
where CTs having negligible leakage reactance are used. This generally includes any kind of current transformers
with a toroidal core if the windings (on the tap used) are completely distributed about the core.
Additional functionality provided by the additional overcurrent device includes: time stamped sequence of event
recorder, waveform capture, data logger, and communication to remote control centers.6

The HID system incorporates components that might be affected by electrostatic discharge currents flowing
through certain component terminals. The main source of electrostatic discharges is human body, especially
under low humidity conditions, with carpet floors or isolating shoes. If such conditions are present special
care should be taken while manipulating HID modules. Operators, before even touching any components,
must make sure that their bodies are not charged by either touching a grounded surface or by using an
antistatic grounded wrist bracelet.

As well, an IP52 (IEC 529) protection degree against dust and water through the front and with the relay mounted in
the panel.
3.1.5. MOUNTING
The HID module is secured to the panel with the 4 M6 screws provided with the unit. This allows the user access to
the front reset button. The wiring is at the rear of the unit. The drilling dimensions are shown on the drilling
dimension diagram.

3.1.7. INPUTS
HID inputs are composed of three elements:
• Stabilizing resistor
• MOV
• Contact from latching relay
Inputs vary depending on the HID model chosen. Thus, if the model corresponds to a type 1 application in the model
selection list, HID will have one single input; two for a type 2 application and three for a type 3 application.
HIDs can be supplied with or without latching relay.
If the unit includes a latching relay, then MOVs and resistors are dimensioned according to the HLB tripping time,
whereas if the unit does not include a latching relay, resistor and varistors are able to support a tripping time of
250ms.
3-4 HID High Impedance Differential Module GEK-113064

HARDWARE
HIDs with latching relay use 2 K 75W resistors, while HIDs without latching relay use 1 K 100 W resistors.
FIGURE 3-4 INPUT CONNECTIONS
Current flows through stabilizing resistors into current input of the overcurrent module. Once high-speed overcurrent
module trips, latching relay contacts short-circuit stabilizing resistor plus current input. In this way, excessive heating
causing damage to resistors is avoided. MOV is used to avoid over voltages damaging current input, limiting voltage
to 1900V.
WARNING
In order to prevent personal damage connect the relay to ground.
For this purpose, please follow the safety instructions below
