Functional description
The tripping matrix GKV 20x60 621 AM ELDP is a component of a generator protection
system. The tripping matrix provides a transparent, easily programmable facility for
combining output commands of the trip outputs of individual protection devices with
plant items such as the circuit-breakers, de-excitation etc. The matrix was developed for
marshalling tripping commands of large power stations. With its help, the tripping
schematic can be temporarily changed, e.g. in case of a generator circuit-breaker
revision. If the software matrix incorporated in each generator protection unit is used for
marshalling the tripping commands, the marshalling in the protection units must be
changed for this purpose.
The tripping matrix assigns the tripping signals arriving at the matrix columns (from the
solid-state protection relays) to the freely programmable matrix lines to which the
tripping modules are connected.
Mode of Operation
The tripping matrix GKV 20x60 621 AM ELDP has 60 columns (for 60 signals from
protection units) and 20 rows (for 20 signals to tripping modules)
High reliability diode plugs (black handle) are used for programming the matrix, the
reliability being attained by generous over-rating with respect to forward current and
reverse voltage.
The diode plugs are inserted from the front and enable any vertical column (signals from
the protection relays) to be connected to any horizontal line so that the tripping signals
can be transmitted to the tripping module.
Withdrawing a central red connecting plug can disconnect all tripping channels of a
column. Each column has a LED for indicating tripping commands. The display is stored.
Each additional incoming tripping command received additionally sets a group memory,
which, can be used for remote signalling and switching a rack lamp.
All signals remain stored even when the tripping channels are interrupted or when the
red central connecting plug is removed.
The memories can be reset directly by a push-button "Reset" or by remote reset.
The function of all LED’s may be checked by pressing the "LED-Test" button.
The power supply of the relays and memory functions is 250VDC and feed an additional
5 VDC voltage for the LED function. The monitoring of the power supply is done by two
relay contacts.
A lockable plexi-cover inhibits unauthorised access to the programming matrix.
Unused diodes and connecting plugs are stored in a pin park.
