Distribution lines have their own equipments in outdoor, the types of loads are various,
and the configurations of the networks are flexible and complicated. There are many kinds
of fault causes such as direct contact of trees or birds, natural phenomenon of lightning or
heavy snow, and fault spread-out due to customer’s facilities. Among these faults, most of
faults are temporary and the dominant fault type is ground-fault.
For rapid fault detection and fault section isolation, blackout area minimization, many
protection devices such as Recloser, Sectionalizer, and Line Fuse are adopted. Among these
devices, Automatic Circuit Recloser is the most important protection device, whose main
functions are fault current trip and auto-reclosing.
There may be many LBS (Load Break Switch) on the distribution lines. This equipment
can’t break fault current directly. But this equipment is used to isolate a section or load of
distribution line, especially fault section during outages. Nowadays, communications may
be used easily and cheaply for distribution automation. Under the automation environment,
the fault section can be found and isolated very quickly.
FTU-P200 is the LBS controller which has the function of fault detection, remote control
and monitoring, various electric metering, etc. It is the IED (Intelligent Electric Device)
which is necessary for distribution automation.

2.6. RECORDING
This function is used to verify shortly the operated history or log of FTU in normal
operation and fault situation. Event recording is triggered by power reset, set value change,
operation of protection functions, self-diagnosis error, etc., and events can be stored
including event occurred time, measured values or operation status. And, this recording
function follows the FIFO (First In First Out) rule. Stored events can be uploaded to and
listed on FTU PC S/W (FTUMan) through RS232C port on front panel.

Fault & PQM waveforms recording function are used to store the measured instantaneous
current/voltage values of pre-fault and post-fault at 128 samples per cycle. Record length,
trigger source and trigger position of pre/post-fault in recorded data are adjustable. The
record types are 128 samples * 20 cycles, 64 samples * 40 cycles, 32 samples * 80 cycles, 16
samples * 160 cycles.
According to the purpose, operators can set the fault recording trigger source and trigger
position of pre-fault/post-fault. Trigger position means the percentage position in recorded
fault data, and the pre-fault data are recorded before this point and rest of the data are
recorded as the post-fault after this point. The recorded fault waveforms are also uploaded
to FTU PC S/W, and current/voltage waveforms at fault and protection elements operation
can be analyzed with fault evaluation.
This waveform recording function follows the COMTRADE file format rule.

SCADA Tx Transmitting communication data
To test the battery and charger circuit, push ‘BATTERY TEST’ button. When the test
result is fail, we will see turn on Battery Fail LED.
To test the LED, push ‘LAMP TEST’ button. When test is OK, all of the LEDs are turn on
for a while.
This button is used for Annunciator LED Reset (LED turn off). Annunciator LED
represents all the LED’s related to Protection, Reclosing and Self-diagnosis Error.
LIVE LINE LEDs indicate if the lines to source side and load side are energized or
deenergized. LEDs are lit on, when the line voltage goes up the set ‘Voltage ON Level’ and
LEDs are lit off, when the voltage goes down the set ‘Voltage OFF Level’.
Sync.Fail LED is lit on when the sync. failure function operates. The function operates
when the phase angle difference between source-side voltage (Va) and load-side voltage (Vr)
is over the setting value and is sustained during set detection time. This status can be used
for the interlock condition of close operation by configuration.
Fault Passage Indicator LEDs are lit on when a fault passes through the LBS and line
is deenergized. Depending on the faulted phase, indicators A,B,C,N,SEF will be lit on.
21
4.1.9. REMOTE/CONTROL LOCK BUTTONS AND LEDS
To decide the control position to Remote, push REMOTE button and make the LED on.
This button and LED are also toggled between Remote and Local position. But, the
manipulation of this button is possible only in the local for operator’s safety.
CONTROL LOCK button enables or disables LBS switching operation. If Control Lock
LED is on, LBS switching operation will be prohibited.
These buttons are used to locally control (OPEN/CLOSE) LBS. Before local control
command, check first if the control position is LOCAL. SELECT button is a two-phase safety
& confirmation check mechanism, and this concept is similar to SBO (Select Before Operate)
in communication protocol. To manually and locally control LBS, SELECT button should be
pushed down to make the corresponding LED on first. , Selected status by SELECT button
is sustained until Close or Open command is issued or SBO time elapses.

5. PROTECTION FUNCTIONS
28
is found, it can be isolated by LBS and the power supply of remained section can be restored.
FTU-P200 is the load break switch controller, which has the function of fault detection and
remote communication, and can be used for the rapid section isolation and restoration by
distribution automation system.
The following picture [Figure 5-1] explains the fault detection and restoration sequence.
FTU indicates ‘fault’ when the line voltage is dropped below the voltage OFF-level of the
Open Line Detection function after the measured phase current or neutral current is higher
than the pickup set value and maintains longer than the corresponding detection time. FTU
discriminates the faulted phase (A, B, C or N).
See the picture [Figure 5-2] Distribution automation system (DAS) may get the fault
indication from the controller of L1~L5 switches and the recloser R through communication
channel. Then DAS decides the fault section and isolates it by sending switch open
command to the controllers of L3, L4 after recloser lockout. DAS may restore the supply of
power in un-faulted section by closing Recloser R, L5, loop tie break switch which is located
at backward side of L5 if it’s available.
29
i) A fault occurred between L3 and L4
CB L1 R L2 L3 L4 L5
ii) Recloser (R) tripped the line and L2, L3 indicate fault experience at the time
when the line is deenergized.
F F
CB L1 R L2 L3 L4 L5
iii) DAS decided the fault section and opened L3, L4, then closed R, L5.
L5 may be energized from the loop tie switch backward .
CB L1 R L2 L3 L4 L5
In case of temporary fault, the line can be restored automatically by reclosing. The fault
indication can be reset by push button on the front panel of FTU-P200 or by remote reset
command. Also it can be reset automatically when the line is energized depending on the
setting.
CB/Rec On Off
State change of fault indication is saved as an event on history buffer. And fault currents
also are saved on separate buffer with time tag. Fault waveforms are captured on memory
up to 8. Waveform data consists of currents and voltages samples, which are 20 cycles, 128
samples per cycle length. Waveform can be shown graphically on ‘Waveform Evaluation
Tool’. Also a remote station can get this waveform file by using file transfer function of
DNP3.0 protocol. The waveform file is volatile. The file shall be downloaded or saved on PC
if need before the battery is over-discharged.
30
5.2. NEGATIVE PHASE SEQUENCE (NPS) DETECTION
Negative Phase Sequence detection is an additional over current element and allows more
reliable detection of certain types of faults.
31
5.3. SENSITIVE EARTH FAULT (SEF) DETECTION
On the non-grounded network, it is hard to detect fault current because ground current of
non-grounded network is so small. Therefore, FTU-P200 is designed to measure zero-
sequence values from either external core Balanced Current Transformer (or ZCT) or
Residual Connection of 3 Phase Current Transformers to detect earth fault in the non-
grounded network. This function is generally called SEF detection.
In case of earth fault in the non-grounded network, since very small fault current due to
line capacitance component flows into the fault point from both sides, SEF detection also
considers the fault direction even in the radial network. Maximum Torque Angle is for
setting the phase difference between zero-sequence voltage and zero-sequence current, and
the protection zone is between -90° and +90° on the basis of Maximum Torque Angle. And
it can be used for alarm.
32
The following picture describes fault current flows and phasor diagram in faulted section
and un-faulted section of ungrounded distribution lines. The zero sequence current
direction in faulted section is opposite to the current in un-faulted section. So the direction
of zero sequence current compared to zero sequence voltage can be used to discriminate
fault direction. Like the following diagram, the maximum torque angle 90o is normally used
for detection of earth fault in ungrounded network.
In ungrounded system, core balance CT shall be used to measure small earth fault current.
This function may be overriden or duplicate by earth fault detection function with
directional element enabled in grounded network.
33
5.4. DIRECTION DETECTION
Direction detection is to restrict fault indication only on faults to a designated side of the
LBS. By using this function, the fault indication can respond only to fault currents from
main source, not from dispersed sources in consumer area of the distribution line. As a
result, the faulted section in the line can be discriminated precisely.
Positive sequence voltage and current are used to detect the direction of phase fault. And
zero sequence voltage and current are used to detect the direction of ground fault. The
following picture describes the angular relationship between sequence voltage and current.
The final decision of direction is from the combination of two elements. Thresholds are used
to avoid to get wrong direction due to small sequence values.
Phase fault
Earth fault
34
The following picture shows the phasor diagram of 3 phase voltages and currents of
single-phase earth fault situation in grounded network. In the example, the zero sequence
current (3Io) is produced dominantly by A-phase fault current. It shows the maximum
torque angle 330o is proper to decide the fault direction.
Positive sequence voltage (V1) and current (I1) are used for phase-to-phase fault with
same principle as -3Vo and 3Io.
Figure 5-6 Phasor diagram for single-phase earth fault in grounded system
35
Function In Use OFF/ON ON
When the voltage on one or two phases drops below the ‘Volt OFF Level’ setting, the
‘Delay Time’ starts running. If the voltage on those phases stays below ‘Volt OFF Level’
setting until the ‘Delay Time’ timer expires, the Loss of Phase will be detected.
If the voltage on detected phase rises to the ‘Volt ON Level’ setting, the Loss of Phase is
released immediately.
36
5.7. PHASE SYNC. CHECK
FTU-P200 monitors the phase angle difference between source and load side voltages of
LBS. If the angle difference is larger than the setting and maintains longer than the set time,
then alarm is generated. The alarm is useful to close LBS safely which is installed at the tie
point of two feeders from the separated substation. The result of phase synchronization
check can be used for interlocking close operation by setting. (Please refer to “Close
interlock” in the configurations.)
37
5.9. OVER VOLTAGE DETECTION
38
5.12. AUTO SECTIONALIZING
It’s the function to open LBS and disconnect the faulty section from the distribution
feeder automatically before the recloser or reclosing relay of CB lockouts. The condition to
open automatically is the fault count. FTU detects and counts the fault and opens LBS if the
count reaches the setting value. The default count setting is two. It means that FTU allows
the 1st reclosing success of the upstream recloser or reclosing relay of CB without
sectionalizing in case of temporary fault.
39
5.13. ANALOG ALARM
The FTU has five configurable alarm analogue types: phase current, ground current,
negative phase sequence current, and phase voltage and system power. Each analogue type
has a configurable high alarm value as well as a configurable low alarm value.
If an analogue value passes the alarm threshold the binary alarm will become active. If,
after a HI Alarm, all analogues of the same type are below the high alarm reset threshold
then the HI binary alarm will be turned off. If, after LOW Alarm, analogues of the same type
are above the low alarm reset threshold and all other, then the LOW binary alarm will be
turned off.
40
5.14. MULTIPLE SETTING GROUPS
The FTU-P200 supports up to 4 Setting Groups, each of which can be configured with
completely separate characteristics with different setting parameters. One of setting groups
can be assigned to be used as parameters of functions for forward or reverse power flow
condition respectively.
And FTU-P200 supports Automatic Setting Group Selection which is used to change the
setting group depending on the direction of power flow automatically.
41
6. CONFIGURATION SETTING
6.1.1. AC RATING
“Line Configuration” shall be set according to the power system grounding. The
parameter will affect the calculation of 3-phase total harmonic distortion.
“System Frequency” shall be set correctly. If it is set wrongly, the measurement can’t be
performed properly.
“Rated Voltage” is the rated line-to-line voltage of power system. This parameter is the
reference for voltage monitoring such as undervoltage protection, sag, swell, etc.
42
“Reference Phase” : This parameter makes change of phase denotation of 3-phase
voltages and currents input terminal of FTU. For example, if the parameter is set with “B”, B
terminal of voltage and current inputs is for A-phase measurement. C is for B-phase. A is for
C.
“CT direction”/”NCT direction : Using this parameter, the polarity of current transformer
can be compensated.
“Phase Rotation” shall be set with “A-C-B” when the transposed line is connected to
recloser. It’s important because it affects the sequence component calculation of 3 phase
voltages and currents.
The FTU calculates and stores average of currents and active, reactive powers during the
demand interval, which is configurable as 15, 30 or 60 minutes. The buffer has 1023
demands. Also FTU stores daily peak demand up to 1023.

6.2.2.1. SAG
A sag (also known as dip) is a reduction to between 0.5 and 0.99 pu in RMS voltage or
current at the power frequency for a short period of time from 0.5 to 10 cycles. A 10% sag is
considered an event during which the RMS voltage decreased by 10% to 0.9 pu. Voltage sags
are widely recognized as among the most common and important aspects of power quality
problems affecting industrial and commercial customers. They are particularly troublesome.
Since they occur randomly and are difficult to predict.
Voltage sags are normally associated with system faults on the distribution system,
sudden increase in system loads, lightning strikes or starting of large load like induction
motors. It is not possible to eliminate faults on a system. One of the most common causes of
faults occurring on high-voltage transmission systems is a lightning strike. When there is a
fault caused by a lightning strike, the voltage can sag to 50% of the standard range and can
last from four to seven cycles. Most loads will be tripped off when encounter this type of
46
voltage level. Possible effect of voltage sags would be system shutdown or reduce efficiency
and life span of electrical equipment, particularly motors.
Equipment sensitivity to voltage sag occurs randomly and has become the most serious
power quality problem affecting many industries and commercial customers presently. An
industrial monitoring program determined an 87% voltage disturbances could be associate
to voltage sags. Most of the fault on the utility transmission and distribution system are
single line-to-ground faults (SLGF).
6.2.2.2. SWELL
47
6.2.2.3. INTERRUPTION
An interruption occurs when there is a reduction of the supply voltage or load current to
between 0.1 and 0.49 pu for duration from 0.5 to 10 cycles. Possible causes would be circuit
breakers responding to overload, lightning and faults. Interruptions are the result of
equipment failures, power system faults and control malfunctions. They are characterized
by their duration as the voltage magnitude is always less than 10% of the nominal. The
duration of an interruption can be irregular when due to equipment malfunctions or loose
connections. The duration of an interruption due to a fault on the utility system is
determined by the utility protective devices operating time.

7. STATUS MONITORING & CONTROL
FTU has 10 binary inputs. These inputs can be assigned to monitor switch open/close, gas
and lock status of switch body through auxiliary contacts. FTU scans these contacts input
every 5 milliseconds. Switch open/close status is determined by double binary inputs,
normally open and closed contacts. All input status are shown on LCD or FTUMan and are
transmitted to master station on its request. Changed status can be transmitted
unsolicitedly with or without time and are recorded on non-volatile memory as events with
time tag in history buffer orderly. For each contact input, on-delay time can be applied. It’s
adjustable within 10~500ms by 5ms step. The time is used to debounce the contact input
and suppress unnecessary events. And each input can be used to affect control action, block
open or close control, or force to open or close main switch.The following picture is an
example window of I/O configuration tool. Here the name for each input can be configured.
Configured name is shown also on LCD display. Invert mask can be used to invert the active
state of the corresponding input.
54
7.2. SWITCH CONTROL
FTU has 4 binary contacts output and 2 high-speed output command. These output are
used to control Switch or output alarms.
Switch can be controlled from remote or local operator place. Operator place can be
changed only at local front panel. ‘REMOTE CONTROL’ push button is to select the
operator place. Operator place is toggled between local and remote by pushing button. LED
is lit if remote position is selected. FTU begins with remote position at power-up. Control is
allowed only at the position selected.
Local switch control requires two-step operation. It’s for security of operation. ‘SELECT’
button should be pushed before ‘CLOSE’ or ‘OPEN’. SELECT LED is lit if SELECT operation
is valid. SELECT can be canceled by pushing SELECT button again or automatically after
SBO timeout without operation. CLOSE or OPEN operation is valid while this LED is lit.
Pushing CLOSE or OPEN button outputs switch control signal with fixed time pulse which
is configurable. Switch status change input which is auxiliary contacts of switch stops
continuing to output pulse. There are some interlock conditions to inhibit FTU from
outputting pulse signal.
Gas low, Switch handle lock, same status of switch auxiliary contacts ‘a’, ‘b’ are those. And
there is “control lock” button. Control lock mode inhibits switch operation and reclosing
after tripping a fault. So it’s useful as “Work tag” when the maintenance work is being done.
The status is toggled when the button is pushed.
Close or open pulse width shall be set longer than switch operating time.

FTU monitors external Lead-acid battery through the control unit, which are mounted on
inner back-side wall of control box. The control unit contains microprocessor based battery
charger. It measures battery terminal voltage and charging voltage. So it can check charger
over-voltage and battery fail or battery low status while external AC supply is off. So it
provides battery voltage values and alarm status which is the result of continuous check.
Provided information details are like the followings.
- Battery low
The conrol unit has also the over-discharge protection. If over-discharge condition
occurred, the control unit sends alarm signal “Battery Low” to RTU and disconnect battery
in order to protect battery cell damage after 1-minute delay. The delay enables RTU to send
alarm state to remote station via communication.

8. MEASUREMENTS
FTU-P200 has 4 currents and 6 voltages input. DSP digitizes these signals using 16 bits
A/D converter and calculates various electric quantities numerically from those digitized
data. As a result, FTU gives true RMS, all power and energy values for 3-phase voltages and
currents. FTU presents also phasor quantities calculated through fundamenatal power
frequency components extracted by FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) algorithm. FFT is
performed every millisecond using 128 samples for 1 cycle. True RMS is calculated every
cycle. All electrical quantities are provided with the average value for 200ms (10cycle for
50Hz, 12cycle for 60Hz). Analog filters and digital filters are used to minimize the effects of
high frequency noise in the input signals. And the calibration is performed in the factory
before delivery using precise current and voltage signal generator. The calibration
compensates the measurements error caused by the components in the circuit of input.
Provided electric quantities are listed in the following.
Currents (Ia, Ib, Ic, In) RMS, Phase Angle, True RMS
Voltage (Va, Vb, Vc, Vr, Vs, Vt) RMS, Phase Angle, True RMS
Frequency, Temperature
In the above items listed, active power, reactive power values are signed integer. Sign
represents power flow or if loads are inductive or capacitive. Also power factor has lead/lag
state value separately.
Currents and voltages have phase angles, which are relative phase angles compared to the
reference Va. These angles are useful to monitor the phase sequence and imbalance of
distribution line.
57
8.2. SEQUENCE COMPONENTS
FTU provides the sequence components of 3-phase currents and voltages. They are
positive sequence current (I1) and voltage (V1), negative sequence current (I2) and voltage
(V2), and zero sequence voltage (V0) which are calculated by 3-phase phasor quantities. This
information can be used to monitor imbalance of distribution line.
8.3. HARMONICS
FTU provides 2nd to 31st harmonic magnitudes and THDs (Total Harmonic Distortion)
for each phase. THD is the total harmonic percentage to the fundamental frequency
component. FTU also calculates and provides 3-phase THD. These values may be used to
monitor the power quality of distribution line.
8.4. ENERGY
FTU provides active energy, reactive energy for each phase or 3-phase total. Also import,
export energy are accumulated on separate registers. Units of energy are kWh, kVarh, which
represent primary distribution line energy flow. The values are accumulated on 32-bit and
16-bit kWh, kVarh counters which rollovers. The 32-bit register is for local display and the
16-bit register is to transmit energy data to SCADA like the following picture.
Normally in order to accumulate energy values, SCADA system reads 16-bit energy
counter in FTU periodically and calculates increments between two readings and adds the
increments to energy register in SCADA. DNP3.0 or IEC protocol supports the function of
counter objects to accumulate energy value easily. For example “freeze and clear” function
is useful to accumulate energy pulse increments.
58
Reactive energy is also accumulated on separate registers according to the quadrant of
power like the following figure 8-2. So 24 energy counters are provided as in the figure 8-3.
59
Figure 8-3 Energy counters
FTU supports block demand and rolling demand. If block and rolling interval are same,
FTU calculates demand values based on block interval. It is block demand mode. For rolling
demand, rolling interval will be subinterval within block interval. So FTU calculates
demand values based on N rolling intervals every rolling interval. Here N is the value
corresponding to block interval devided by rolling interval. Types of demand values are
phase currents and active, reactive powers.
For example, suppose that block interval is 15min. and rolling interval is 5min. In this
case, rolling demand values are calculated every 5min based on the data during most
recent 15min.
60
Figure 8-4 block demand and rolling demand
The demand values are recorded up to 6143 intervals. The length corresponds to 63 days
based on 15 min. demand. Also peak demand values are recorded daily up to 1023 days. And
weekly or monthly data are recorded through automatic demand reset according to settings
up to 63 amounts. Manual reset also is available. Weekly/monthly data contains the
following information. All energy and power data are saved with each phase and 3-phase
total data.
