ABB REG670 - Completing the Test; Generator Differential Protection GENPDIF (87 G); Verifying the Settings

13.3.2.2 Completing the test
SEMOD55257-73 v4
Continue to test another function or end the test by changing the TESTMODE setting to
Disabled. Restore connections and settings to their original values, if they were
changed for testing purposes.
13.3.3 Generator differential protection GENPDIF (87G)
SEMOD155702-45 v4
Prepare the IED for verification of settings outlined in Section
"Preparing the IED to
verify settings".
13.3.3.1 Verifying the settings
SEMOD155702-49 v4
1. Go to Main menu/Test/Function test modes/Differential protection and make
sure all other functions, configured to the same current transformer inputs as the
generator differential protection, are set off. Make sure that the generator
differential function is unblocked.
2. Connect the test set for injection of three-phase current to the current IEDs, which
are connected to the CTs on the HV side of the generator.
3. Increase the current in phase A until the protection function operates and note the
operating current.
4. Check that trip and alarm contacts operate according to the configuration logic.
5. Decrease the current slowly from operate value and note the reset value.
6. Check in the same way the function by injecting current in phases B and C.
7. Inject a symmetrical three-phase current and note the operate value.
8. Connect the timer and set the current to twice the operate value.
9. Switch on the current and note the operate time.
10. Check in the same way the functioning of the measuring circuits connected to the
CTs on the neutral point side of the generator.
11. Finally check that trip information is stored in the event menu.
Information on how to use the event menu is found in the
operator’s manual.
12. If available on the test set a second-harmonic current of about 20% (assumes 15%
setting on I1/I2 ratio parameter) can be added to the fundamental tone in phase A.
Increase the current in phase A above the pickup value measured in step
3.
Repeat test with current injection in phases B and C respectively.
Fifth-harmonic blocking can be tested in a similar way.
The balancing of currents flowing into and out of the differential zone is typically
checked by primary testing.
