Figure 3.48 87LP Alpha Plane Concept With Harmonic Restraint
Refer to 87L Elements for more information regarding supervising the 87LP
logic with the master mode (87MTR), test mode (87TEST), disturbance
detection (87DD) and the blocking action (87BLK). 87L Elements also
explains the application of normal and expanded security Alpha Plane settings
and their control via the 87LPSEC Relay Word bit.
Detailed Description of Settings
87LPU
The purpose of the instantaneous unrestrained current element is to react
quickly to heavy internal faults, signified by high current levels. The
unrestrained differential element responds to the fundamental frequency
component of the differential operating current (full-cycle cosine-filtered). It
is unaffected by the Alpha Plane radius and blocking angle settings or
harmonic restraint or blocking settings. Therefore, you must set the element
pickup level high enough that the element does not react to large inrush
currents. Typical values of this setting are in the range of several times the tap
value (6–8 pu are typical).
