B30 UR Bus Differential Relay

Protection and Control

The B30, a digital bus differential relay, provides bus protection and metering in one integrated package. As part of the Universal Relay Family, the B30 provides superior protection that includes: Bus Protection The B30 can handle a basic configuration consisting of a single busbar with up to six feeders. Both restrained and unrestrained (instantaneous) differential protection elements are provided. The restrained bus differential element uses both differential and current directional comparison protection principles. The differential element uses a dual-slope, dual-breakpoint characteristic. The restraining current is formed as a maximum of the input currents for better stability during throughfault conditions and faster operation on internal faults. The current directional comparison principle checks the angular relationship between the differential zone currents.

The biased bus differential protection operates in the two-out-of-two mode for low differential currents. For high differential currents, bus protection operates using the differential characteristic alone if CT saturation is not detected. If CT saturation occurs, the relay switches to the two-out-of-two operating mode for better through-fault stability. Dynamic Bus Replica A dynamic busbar replica mechanism is provided by associating the breaker/switch status signals with the differential zone currents. This allows avoiding switching CT secondary circuits when protecting re-configurable busbars. Contact Discrepancy Alarm This function can be accomplished via FlexLogic in conjunction with the dynamic bus replica mechanism. CT Saturation Detection This mechanism detects CT saturation during external faults, without triggering on internal faults. No extra security measures are required, allowing very fast operation on internal fault. The CT saturation detection mechanism analyzes the trajectory of the differential and restraint currents.

CT Failure Detection This function monitors the level of the differential current. When the current remains above a setpoint for a pre-defined interval, a CT alarm occurs. Undervoltage Supervision Optional undervoltage supervision can be used to prevent operation of the differential protection due to CT troubles. Two-phase undervoltage elements are available for this purpose with the provision of voltage inputs. TOC Backup A phase TOC protection function provides backup for each circuit. External Check-Zone An optional external check-zone can be used to prevent operation of the differential protection due to CT troubles. If one B30 current input is left unused and an alternative set of current signals is available from independent CTs, the currents can be combined externally and connected to the relay. Two-phase overcurrent elements are available to check the level of this independently formed differential current to supervise the main differential protection.
