MiCOM P740
Numerical Busbar Protection

The MiCOM P740 numerical busbar protection

scheme provides complete protection for all
types of extra / ultra high voltage busbar
configurations.

Built on a number of innovative techniques,

including CT saturation detection and dynamic
MiCOM P741 in 80TE
topology processing algorithms, the P740 offers
a unique combination of security, speed and
sensitivity.

With a typical operating time of 15ms, the P740

protection is one of the fastest in its class and
meets the most stringent requirements of extra /
MiCOM P743 in 60TE
ultra high voltage transmission systems.

The substation replica processing algorithms

ensure that P740 adapts to the dynamically
changing topology of the busbar.

The MiCOM P740 busbar differential protection

MiCOM P742 in 40TE scheme can be engineered to provide a
centralized or a distributed architecture. It also
supports easy maintenance, operation and future
expansion of the busbar.

Customer benefits
• Fast fault trip
(typically 15ms)
• Adaptable to any busbar
configuration.
• Can operate with different
types of CT.
• Fibre optic cable used for

The MiCOM P740 numerical busbar protection scheme or two for each bus coupler/bus section, depending on
has been designed to protect a wide range of busbar number of CT (1 or 2). The Peripheral Units acquire
configurations. The modular scheme comprises of three the analogue signals from the associated CT and the
relays: binary signals from the auxiliary contacts of circuit
breakers and isolators. The Peripheral Units also
• Central Unit - P741
incorporate the main circuit breaker failure logic
• Peripheral Unit - P742 / P743 together with backup protection.

These units, interconnected using optic fibre cables
together with the topology configurator software allow
application to all types of busbar configurations.
The Central Unit co-ordinates the scheme, receiving
signals from all the peripheral units associated with the
protected busbars and acting on these signals, initiating
a buszone protection trip when necessary. A single
Central Unit can accommodate upto,
The difference between the P742 and P743 is in the
number of I/O that each can accommodate. The P743
allows for increased I/O, this is particularly useful in
double busbar applications. Especially where single
pole breakers and transfer busbar are employed, in
these applications the I/O requirements are large in
comparison to those required for a single busbar
application where a P742 may be more suitable.

Speed, Sensitive & Secure:

P740 the ultimate in busbar protection
 BUSBAR DIFFERENTIAL PROTECTION

The primary protection element of the P740 scheme is

the phase segregated biased current differential
protection. The technique is based on the numerical
application of Kirchoff's Law for the selective detection
and ultra high-speed isolation of a faulty section of the
busbar.

The analysis is carried out in the Central Unit (CU)

which communicates with the Peripheral Unit (PU) to
get the current flowing in individual circuits and to
implement the tripping of circuits as decided by it.
This reliable, high speed communication is achieved
via a direct optical connection utilising a 2.5 Mbps CT saturation detection
data rate.

The P740 employs biased differential algorithms, in

which the differential current is compared with a bias
current. This characteristic ensures stability of the
protection for external fault even with differing CT
tolerances and errors which otherwise could lead to
spurious operation.

To increase the security of the differential protection,

the biased differential element is supervised by a
global check zone element. This ensures stability
even under erroneous status of the auxiliary contact of
plant isolators and circuit breakers.

The MiCOM P740 also employs an innovative, ultra

high-speed, secure CT saturation detection
algorithm. This ensures stability when CTs become
saturated, particularly under external fault conditions.
Universal on-line topology processing This algorithm combine a simulation of the flux built up
in the core of the CTs with a recursive consistence
variation control. This technique can detect CT

saturation in less than 2ms.
busbar configuration the P740 is built with a universal
topology processing algorithm. This algorithm
determines the optimum tripping zone on-line based
on the status of the plant isolator and breakers.
This ensures that minimum part of the busbar is
isolated for any fault in it. Bias differential characteristics

 PHASE OVERCURRENT AND
EARTH FAULT PROTECTION
Two independent stages each of phase overcurrent and
earth fault protection is provided in the Peripheral Units.
These elements provide backup protection for the
individual circuits.
The two stages can be programmed as:
> First stage can be programmed as definite time (DT)
delay or one of the nine inverse time (IDMT) curves
(IEC/UK and IEEE/US).
> Second stage can only be programmed as definite
time.
CIRCUIT BREAKER FAILURE
PROTECTION (LBB)
The MiCOM P740 busbar protection scheme can work
in co-ordination with external breaker failure
protection relays. In this configuration, the receipt of an
external breaker failure information results in tripping of
all the adjacent circuit breakers, via the topological
recognition system knowing which breaker is connected
to which zone.
The P740 also offers an in-built integrated solution
for breaker failure protection. This requires all
Peripheral Units to receive a duplication of the trip
commands generated in their associated bay.
In general the Breaker Failure protection must be
executed on a per phase basis which involves the
possibility of receiving tripping orders on a per pole
basis.
CURRENT TRANSFORMER
MISMATCH CORRECTION
The MiCOM P740 can correct mismatch between
current transformer ratios over a very wide range up
to 40. Its associated user interface provides a range
between 1 A and 30,000 A primary.
Since the current transformer ratings in a substation
may be of mixed ratios, the MiCOM P740 enables a
common base current to be defined, irrespective of
the feeder section concerned.
The settings on the Central Unit are all adjusted to this
common current, known as the primary base current (Ibp).

ISOLATION AND MAINTENANCE
OPERATING MODE
For ease of operation or maintenance of the busbar
protection system, the Central Unit and the Peripheral
Units can receive specific commands designed to
allow system testing or other intervention without any
danger of unwanted tripping.
In the Central Unit, a centralized command to isolate
the busbars at two levels can be applied selectively
zone wise:
> Differential protection (87 BB) in monitoring mode
(measurements active and tripping deactivated). The
Breaker Failure protection remains operational.
> Differential protection (87 BB) and Circuit Breaker
Failure protection (50 BF) in monitoring mode. The
additional local protection functions (51, 51N, etc...)
remain operational.
A selective two-level command may be applied
selectively for each Peripheral Units:
> Maintenance of bay(s) for human intervention.
In this state, all I/O are deactivated. The busbar
protection is still in service, but the CB of the feeder
in service can not be tripped.
> Intervention on the equipment for maintenance and
testing.
PROGRAMMABLE SCHEME LOGIC
Powerful programmable scheme logic (PSL) allows the
user to customize the protection and control functions.
It is also used to programme the functionality of the
optically isolated inputs, relay outputs and LED
indications. The programmable scheme logic
comprises of gate logic and general purpose timers.
The gate logic includes OR, AND and majority gate
functions, with the ability to invert the inputs and
outputs, and provide feedback. The programmable
scheme logic is configured using the graphical MiCOM
S1 PC based support software.
PLANT STATUS
Checks and monitoring of the plant status can be
made, and an alarm raised for any discrepancy
conditions between the open and closed auxiliary
contacts of the isolators and circuit breakers.
MEASUREMENT
AND RECORDING FACILITIES
The P740 series relays are capable of measuring and
storing the values associated with a fault. All the
events, faults records and disturbance records are time
tagged to 1 ms using an internal real time clock. An
optional IRIG-B port is also provided for accurate time
synchronization. A lithium battery provides a back up
for the real time clock and all records in the event of
supply failure.
MEASUREMENTS
The measurements provided, which may be viewed in
primary or secondary values, can be accessed via
the back lit liquid crystal display. They are also
accessible via the communication ports. The following
instantaneous parameters can be viewed:
> Central unit (P741
• Differential current Idiff / phase / zone
• Bias current Ibias / phase / zone
• Check zone Idiff / phase
> Peripheral units (P742 & P743)
• Phase currents IA IB IC
• Neutral current IN
• Sequence currents
• Frequency
EVENT RECORDER
Up to 250 time tagged event records are stored in
battery backed memory, and can be extracted via the
communication port or be viewed on the front panel
display.
FAULT RECORDER
Records of the last 5 faults are stored in the
battery-backed memory of both the Central and
Peripheral Units.
Each fault record includes:
> Indication of the faulty zone (CU + PU)
> Protection element operated
> Active setting group
> Fault duration
> Currents and frequency (PU)
> Faulty zone differential and bias current (CU)
DISTURBANCE RECORDER
The Central and Peripheral units of the P740 have
independent disturbance recording facility. The
Peripheral Units can record 4 analogue and 32 digital
channels, whereas the Central unit stores 8 analogue
and 32 digital channels in addition to 1 time channel.
> Specific analogue channels
• Ibias / Idiff (CU)
• IA, IB, IC, IN (PU)
> Maximum duration of one record and number of
records
• 1.2s per record and 8 records (CU)
• up to 10.5s per record and minimum of
20 records (PU)
Disturbance records can be extracted from the relay
via the remote communications and saved in the
COMTRADE format. These records may be examined
using MiCOM S1 or any other standard COMTRADE
viewer.

LOCAL AND REMOTE
COMMUNICATIONS
Two communication ports are available as standard; a rear
port providing remote communications and a front port
providing local communications.
The front RS232 port has been designed for use with MiCOM
S1, which fully supports functions within the relay by providing
the ability to programme the settings off-line, configure the
programmable scheme logic, extract and view event,
disturbance and fault records, view the measurement
information dynamically and perform control functions (using
Courier protocol).
The default remote communications is Courier / K-bus and can
be converted to IEC60870-5-103.
DIAGNOSTICS
Automatic tests performed including power-on diagnostics and
continuous self-monitoring ensures a high degree of reliability.
The results of the self-test functions are stored in battery
backed memory. Test features available on the user interface
provide examination of input quantities, states of the digital
inputs and relay outputs. A local monitor port provides digital
outputs, selected from a prescribed list of signals, including the
status of protection elements.

MiCOM P740 GUIDE FORM
SPECIFICATION
The differential busbar protection has
to be of entirely numerical technology
and allow a centralised or distributed
architecture via fibre optic
communication. The distance between
the acquisition (feeder) unit and the
measurement unit must be able to
reach 1000 metres.
The protection will include differential
elements with phase segregation and
a separate sensitive earth fault
element for networks with high
impedance earthling.
The sensitive earth fault element will
be controlled by through current to
guarantee its stability on external
faults and in the presence of
significant errors in measurement
transducers (CTs).
Protection must have a low burden to
enable it to be installed in series with
other equipment on common
secondary cores of the current
transformers.
It has to allow the use of different
class and type of CTs made by
different manufacturers. In particular, it
will have to be able to accept mixes of
plant, satisfying different standards
(e.g. British Standard 3938: Class X,
IEC 185: Class 5P20, IEC 44-6 Class
TPX, TPY or TPZ).
Owing to these various standards,
calculation algorithms have to provide
an effective compensation for
transitory errors of amplitude and
phase from the CTs in presence of a
strong continuous dc component in
the short-circuit current.
The protection has to be stable for all
types of external faults and in
particular under CT saturation
conditions. This saturation has to be
able to be detected in less than 2 ms.
In addition to signal processing
algorithms for the detection of
saturation, it will be able to be
activated for very low rated feeders
equipped with low ratio CTs, a fault
criterion able to provide information of
an external short-circuit in a time
which does not exceed 0.5 ms.
The topological processing algorithms
have to allow for the dynamic
consideration of primary plant position
changes in a period which does not
exceed 70 ms for complex
architectures going up to 8 zones and
28 Peripheral Units.

such a condition is initiated all the
circuit breakers adjacent to the faulty
circuit breaker will be identified and
tripped selectively by way of the
scheme topology and via the busbar
differential protection.
The circuit breaker failure sequence
has to include a re-trip, which can be
initiated via another protection on the
same circuit i.e. for the same circuit
breaker. This sequence must be user
configurable and either instantaneous
or time delayed.
On overhead lines where single-pole
tripping will be carried out, monitoring
has to be carried out on a per phase
basis.
The open circuit breaker poles will be
checked by means of an under current
detector and by monitoring auxiliary
contact positions.
To avoid all risk of maloperation
during work on the LV protection
circuits that communicate with the
circuit breaker failure controller, a local
criterion can be activated in order to
permit only a tripping instruction to the
central unit in the event of a fault on
the feeder concerned.
Maintenance and testing must be able
to be conducted safely by means of
control via several levels of isolation.
