1.3 Amplifier for Voltage and Current

Current generator and voltage generator have no current booster and no voltage booster, but direct
coupling mode is adopted by them, which enables the power supply’s frequency output range to be
from 0Hz to 1000Hz, outputting DC and all AC voltage or AC current in all frequency. Such as
square waveform, varying waveform in proportion with the exponential function as well as mixed
Reclosing waveform. Basically it meets the transient testing requirements of the protection device,
thereby achieving the simple simulating test on various protection devices.
Power amplifier circuit has the perfect protective function against over-current, over-voltage and
over-temperature so that keep the high-power components of the set from damage in the test. When
the power amplifier is charged, the internal circuits of protection relay will real-time monitor/detect
the output current value from the voltage circuit and determine whether the detected current values
are overload. When there is overload or short-circuit in the circuit voltage, the power of the power
amplifier will shut down automatically and the test will stop, giving out the warning signal.

1.6 Attention:

z There are good Grounding picture in the right bottom of each interface menu.

The grounding link is abnormal if showing picture

In order to insure the test security and the accuracy of testing result, please check the power
supply whether the grounding is proper.
z It is prohibited to connect the host instrument with 380V three-phase AC or DC power supply.
z Before testing, the grounding line jack must be reliably grounding; otherwise it might damage
the Relay Tester.
z The voltage circuit can not be short circuit or overload, and the load of the current circuit
should meet Impedance values under the given technical parameters so that avoid the overload

n
affecting the testing results.
z

e . c o m . c
In case that there is overload or short-circuit in the voltage generator, the Relay Tester will

i n
k ing s
automatically shut down the power of the amplifier power and give out warning signal.

r @
ro ge
Maximum current load in each phase is up to 0.55A for the voltage generator.
z In case that the large current has been output for a long time, and as a result, the power
amplifier’s temperature is at high degrees, the Relay Tester will automatically shut down the
power of the amplifier power and give out warning signal, User shall stop test right until the
amplifier power gets cool.
z Binary Input’s potential is directional. So better to use idle contact as usual.
z Negative terminals A, B, C of Binary input are all connected together, but not connected with
the public terminal ‘N’ of voltage / current output terminal and the ground wire (such as panel,
machine box) that is the suspending ground. Binary Input’s terminal is compatible with the idle
contact and the potential (10-250V). However, Binary Input’s terminal has directionality for the
input of the charged contact, as shown in the Figure below, A, B, C and R are connected with
the high potential (+),the negative terminal are connected with the lower potential (-) of the
charged contact, and then the computer can detect the overturn of the contact state. If the
connections are in reverse, what will always be detected will be the closed state.
z If there is emergency in the process of the test, the Power Amplifier button must exit rapidly
and then to shut down the power of the host of Relay Tester.

3.5.1 Interface Introduction to the Set

@k ing s i n
ro ge r
There are 3 areas in the interface and Press ‘PgDn’ to the next page interfaces
① it is the area to control parameter setup.
② it is the setup area for computation model option and fault startup mode, etc.
③ it display open and close of Binary Input and Binary Output contact and it is the display column
of tested result.

3.5.2 Parameter Setup of the set:

Parameter Setup ①
Options of testing items
Testing Item Option is including the checkout of fixed impedance value and the fixed value of
variable impedance component of power frequency.
Checkout of impedance fixed value:
Computation formula of short-circuit voltage
Positive direction single-phase grounding short-circuit: V=（1+KL）kIZset
Positive direction short-circuits between phases: V=2kIZset
27
 K68 Series Relay Tester

Checkout of the fixed value of variable impedance of power frequency:

Computation formula of short-circuit voltage
Positive direction single-phase grounding short-circuit: V=（1+KL）kIZset+(1-1.05M)Un

Positive direction short-circuits between phases: V=2kIZset+ (1-1.05M) 3 Un

Reverse export short-circuit: V=0

Note: KL is zero-sequence compensation coefficient in the circuit, k is the multiple of
short-circuit impedance, I is short-circuiting current, Zset is short-circuiting
impedance setting, M is power frequency variable coefficient and Un is rated
voltage.
Basic setup
Normal Voltage (Un): it is the voltage value under the normal state or the voltage value of non-fault
if there is fault.
Frequency (fn): it is the real-time frequency of voltage and current under the present fault state.
Test Period (Fault time): It lasts to start from the fault and to end of the test. It begins to time when

n
entering the fault, no matter how the tested result will be; the test device will close the test

e . c o m . c
automatically when the hour that tests are over comes. For example: if the action time at I

i n
k ing s
step is 0.5S, the test period must be more than 0.5s when checking the fixed value at I step, as

r @
ro ge
can be set to 1.5S.
Deglitch(s): JitterBuffer Time. Generally, it can be set to 15ms and it is the set time parameter to
prevent the protection contact from jittering to affect the tested result in the process of testing
when it is the automatic test, and the located stated will be authorized only when the closed
contact or the lasting disconnection meets the set time.

Fault setting
Fault Type: Click [Fault Type] with the mouse. There are nine kinds of fault states in the drop menu,
such as ‘A phase grounding, B phase grounding, C phase grounding, short-circuit between
A and B phase, short-circuit between B and C phase, short-circuit between C and A phase,
AB phase grounding, BC phase grounding, CA phase grounding, three-phase short-circuit’.
Direction: including two directions: 1.Forward 2. Reversed
Fault character: permanent fault and instantaneous fault. When choosing the instantaneous fault,
after Reclosing, the fault will not occur. Whereas, the fault will continue to occur. For the
permanent fault, the Reclosing fault phase is related to whether fault switch will arise.
PT: Simulate that the mutual inductor of voltage is installed either on the bus (At busbar) or on the
circuitry (At line). When PT is installed on the bus, after disconnecting the fault phase, the

28
 K68 Series Relay Tester

phase current is zero, and voltage comes back to the normal phase voltage（V=Vnom）; When
PT is installed in the circuit, after disconnecting the fault phase, the phase current and voltage
are zero.
Z : there are two expression methods for the impedance value of the circuit or the load when there
is fault: (Z∠θ°) or (R+jX). For changeable fault, it can be set to short-circuit impedance
value that is completely different from the setting impedance. Setting different impedance
values can test the latter speedup of the protection.
Multiple : Short-circuit impedance=0.95 times of setting impedance denotes that impedance value is
0.95 times of setting impedance when fault is simulated, in principle: when the impedance
value tested by the protection is less than or equals 0.95 times of the setting impedance, it
will surely operate reliably at the step; when the impedance value tested by the protection is
more than or equals 1.05 times of the setting impedance, it will not surely operate reliably at
the step; the action time will be tested when the impedance value tested by the protection
equals 0.7 times of the setting impedance.

Test mode

e . c o m . c n
@k ing s i n
Calculation: including ‘KL’ and ‘Re/Rl and Xe/Xl’ two modes. When the fixed value of the

ro ge r
protection is K, ‘KL’ computation method can be chosen and the values of Re, Im can
be set. When the fixed values of the protection are KR and KX, ‘RE/RL and XE/XL’
can be chosen and the values of KR and KX can be set.
Computing Impedance contains the impedance and short-circuits impedance in the
system. The setup value of impedance Zs in the system must be more than or equal 0,
the range of Ph (Zs) is from -90 to +90 degrees. The setup value of short-circuit
impedance Zl may be more than 0 or less than 0. When Zl is negative, it means the
short-circuit impedance when there is the fault in reverse direction of the installation
position of the protection. The range of Ph (Zl) is from -90 to +90 degrees. If Ph (Zl)>0,
it is the inductance in the circuit, if Ph (Zl) <0, short-circuit impedance has
capacitance.

Zero-sequence Compensation Coefficient in the system:

Kso= (Zso-Zs1)/ (3*Zso);
Where: Zso indicates Zero-sequence Impedance in the system.
Zs1 indicates the impedance of the positive sequence in the system.
If considering Zero-sequence Impedance angle conforming to the impedance angle of positive

29
 K68 Series Relay Tester

sequence, Kso is a real number and its void. Its imaginary part is zero.

Zero-sequence Compensation Coefficient in the circuit:

Klo= (Zlo-Zl1)/ (3*Zlo);
Where: Zlo indicates Zero-sequence Impedance in the circuit.
Zl1 indicates the impedance of the positive sequence.
Generally, considering Ph (Zlo) =Ph (Zl1), Klo is also a real number.
For non grounding short-circuit fault, Zero-sequence Compensation Coefficient will not be
calculated in short-circuit.
Generally, Im is set to 0 and Re is set under the fixed value protected, if Zero-sequence
Coefficient of the setup of the Relay Tester differs from that of protection setup, the grounding
space to be tested will be incorrect.

Test mode: including constant short-circuit current, constant short-circuit voltage and constant
power（system）impedance three kinds of computation models.
1. I=Constant

e . c o m . c n
@k ing s i n
There is an ideal current source in the fault circuit assumed by the model. Compute

ge r
short-circuit voltage by short-circuit current and short-circuit impedance.

ro
2. U=Constant
There is an ideal voltage source in the fault circuit assumed by the model. Compute
short-circuit current by short-circuit voltage and short-circuit impedance.
3. Z=Constant
There is a power impedance in series with the ideal voltage source, connecting with the fault
circuit. The model is adjacent to the actual grid.
The short-circuit voltage and short-circuit current will change as the short-circuit impedance
changes. When reducing short-circuit impedance, the short-circuit current will increase and fault
residual voltage will be decreased. Whereas, short-circuit current and short-circuit voltage will
decrease and increase as the short-circuit impedance increases.
For the computation model of the constant current, the short-circuit voltage Vf computed by current
and impedance will not more than Vnom（Rated Voltage）. If V>Vnom, short-circuit current will
automatically decrease when computing in order to meet the conditions of VF<Vnom.
For the computation model of the constant voltage, when the fault current If computed by voltage
and impedance is over big, that is If>Imax (30 A), the program will produce the alarm. The solution
is to reduce the short-circuit voltage set.

30
 K68 Series Relay Tester

For the computation model of the constant power（system）impedance, when the amount of
short-circuit impedance and the power impedance is near or equals zero, the computed short-circuit
current will be over big, that is If>Imax. When the reminder of current beyond the limit is on the
bottom of the screen. The solution is to increase the power impedance to remove the existing
number beyond the limit.

Parameter Setup ②
Mode : including ‘Time startup’,‘ Key startup’ and ‘overturn startup of h contact’ and‘ GPS
startup’, ‘Time startup’ is chosen after the test begins, and the test is carried out
automatically according to time before fault and fault time that have already been set.
Key startup works after the test begins. Choose manually whether to enter fault sate.
GPS startup is used to test the Property of the whole set of HF protection by
synchronous fault output of GPS on the tow terminals in the circuit.
Binary setup: to set the time before fault and to set the Binary Output when starting fault. Time

n
before fault is the time to be set before entering the fault. The default Binary Output

e . c o m . c
setup is output, once entering the fault state. Relay Tester can give out a signal by Binary

i n
k ing s
Output after prolonging one-step time according to the setup; Binary Output delay is

r @
ro ge
used to match Binary Output setup. Binary Output hold is the Hold of the signal sent by
Binary Output.
Binary Input: A, B and C three couples of Binary Input can be defined as protection Trip A, Trip B
and Trip C or three-jump signal, respectively, where necessary, and can also be closed.
The state change of Binary Input contact will not be checked any longer when testing.
Binary Input H is generally re-switching Binary Input signal, and there are other four
Binary Input contacts a, b, c and h for the device.

Ux : voltage Ux Output options include random value, +3U0, -3U0, + 3 *3U0 and - 3 *3U0,
Non-V A、Non-V B、Non-V C、Non-V AB、Non-V BC、Non-V CA
Note: Take ‘ there is no voltage A when checking’ as an example, the output process of Ux is from
before fault to after re-switch, and Ux outputs A phase voltage Ua if that there is no
voltage when checking is chosen for Ux setup.
Binary Output: The test device can output Binary Output by‘1’,‘2’,‘3’ and‘4’ four couples Binary
Output contacts on the side panel, Binary Output is output by empty contact. The test device
can be off or closed to output the relaying contact and empty contact signal according to the
requirement before fault or instantly when testing, and the main use is to start other
equipments.

3.5.3 Testing Process

Click ‘Run’ button and enter the testing state after the parameters in the interface are set.
User can change Binary Input and Binary Output under the testing state and then change fault
state and the tested return result.
The testing Operation process is different according to different testing items of circuit
protecting the whole set, there are 3 conditions in detail:
◆ Simulation test of the whole set for the circuit protection（without switch）:
A. Connect the homonymous phase AC voltage circuit of all protection device in parallel in
the circuit and connect the homonymous phase AC current circuit in series according to
polarity, except the trip export protected and the closed export pressure board of
re-switch.
B. Connect three-phase voltage output UA, UB, UC, Un and three-phase current Output IA,
IB, IC and In of the test device to the corresponding voltage and current terminals of the

. c n
protection screen to be tested with the test wire.（Note: here the current is output by

i n e . c o m
three-phase, IA terminal connection is as A phase current and IB terminal connection is

s
k ing
as B phase current, IC terminal connection is as C phase current, each phase current has

ro ge r @
the output range of 0-35A）
C. Connect the Trip And closed output contact of the protected and integrated re-switch
device to Binary Input ports A, B, C, COM and H, COM of the test device. The trip and
the closed contact can be either the empty standby contact of the protection or re-switch
or the contact with electricity to be connected with the Trip and closed coil of the
breaker.

Note: when using the contact with electricity, the public terminal COM must be connected with＋
terminal of DC power, which is ＋KM of the control source, and only any one terminal of it
is connected. The allowed voltage of DC power is 0～250V.

D. Operate the computer and enter the testing unit of the whole set to set the testing
parameters, such as short-circuit impedance, fault type, fault characteristic and closed
angle and to set whether PT lies at the bus or at the circuit according to the actually
installation position of PT. The test of the whole set begins after all parameters have been
set according to the requirements.
E. The whole set’s action time measurement, to measure the time of re-switch action and
32
 K68 Series Relay Tester

action time from beginning to simulate fault to the circuit action of the breaker trip.
When testing of protecting the failure of the breaker matching linkage, the breaker’s
performance should be simulated to test under the Operation of the positive and negative
auxiliary bus and under the failure of starting the breaker in the protection circuit,
respectively. Connect the action contact of failure protection to ‘a’ Binary Input terminal
of Relay Tester. The fault current should be more than the current setting value of the
failed protection when testing and the maximum fault time of simulating fault should be
more than the action time of the failed protection.
◆ Testing of circuit protection whole-set transmission breaker
All preparations and Operation steps are the same as above. Before the formal transmission
breaker is tested, the following step should be:
A. Exit Trip and close the export press board, and take a simulation test without transmission
switch at first.
B. After simulating the test correctly, input the Trip, closed export press board and take a
simulation test with transmission switch.
◆ Allowed or closed HF protecting commissioning:

e . c o m . c n
@k ing s i n
When the allowed or closed directional high-frequency protection or high-frequency Distance

ro ge r
Protection is adopted to test, Binary Output terminal on the panel of the test device is the
contact of the protection device to send signal. When simulating the internal fault in the
positive direction, the contact is conducted instantaneously; the protection receives the allowed
signal and can instantaneously trip. When simulating the external fault, shut off the connection
between Binary Output contact of the host and the contact of protection device to receive
signal. The protection will not trip if it has no allowed signal, or only when simulating the
closed directional high-frequency protection or high-frequency Distance Protection, the output
terminals can be used as the closed contact of the protection to receive signal. When simulating
the external fault, the contact is conducted. The protection receives the closed signals and will
not trip or delay the trip, during the fault simulation, as long as the terminal is disconnected,
the protection can instantaneously trip without receiving the closed signals.
When simulating the closed high-frequency protection, this terminal can be used as the input
terminal of the fault signal in the channel. When simulating the fault in the positive directional
area, the contact is conducted, the protection receives the fault signal in the channel because
the protection has no allowed signal at the same time, making high-frequency trip circuit open
in a short time, as can instantaneously trip. The terminal is relieved, and the protection can not
instantaneously trip.

Pre-time：It is the time before frequency changes, and it is the frequency output time, when voltage
and current are output according to the setup.

Deglitch：JitterBuffer Time. Generally, it is 5ms to 15 ms and used to distinguish contact jitter

from contact Action as the resistant export contact jitter time. When the closed or open
time of the Action contact of the protection is less than the time (contact jitter), the
contact Action will not be accepted.
Binary Input： ‘Logic or’ indicates the Action signal comes into existence when there is any one of
the chosen binary input meets the conditions; ‘logic and’ indicates the Action signal
comes into existence when all chosen binary input meet the conditions. When merely
one binary input port is chosen, ‘Logic or’ and ‘logic and’ take the same effect.

3.7.3 Test Flow

‘Frequency protection’ can test movment frequency, Action time, slip lockout value, low-voltage
lockout value and low-current lockout of various frequency relays and automatic devices of Low
Frequency Decrease Load, the testing method is as below:

n

e . c o m . c
A. Set the scope of frequency change and slip: generally, the starting value is the rated

i n
k ing s
frequency of the device（50Hz）, and the final value is the frequency with which the

r @
ro ge
protection can move reliably. The change step size is the value that meets the testing
precision, generally it is 0.1Hz and slip df/dt is less than ‘df/dt lockout’ of the
protection.
B. Set voltage and current values under which the device can work normally.
C. Input the fixed value of the device and input the allowed error.
D. Description of Test Flow
In ‘Testing setup’, set ‘Pre-time’ 2.000S; ‘Interval’ 0.5S; ‘Hold’0.3S; ‘auto slip’
1Hz/S; ‘Step’ 0.1Hz. Test instrument firstly outputs 50Hz frequency for 2.000S（Change
Time）, making the device work normally. After the Pre-time, the output frequency of the
test instrument changes from 50Hz at 1Hz/S to 49.9Hz and holding 0.3S, if the protection
moves, the test instrument will stop testing; if the protection does not move, test
instrument will stop to output and will output 50Hz again after 0.5S, holding 2S, and then
it will slip to49.8Hz at 1Hz/S, by this analogy, taking the same way, it changes to 49.7Hz,
49.6Hz… until the Action frequency of the protection will be measured.
Testing Item: Action time
A. Set voltage and current value under the working conditions of the device.
B. Input timing triggering frequency.

C. Input the starting value of change and the final value (should be consistent to the triggering
frequency) and df/dt（less than df/dt lockout value）in the column of the frequency change
scope and the change rate.
D. Description of Test Flow
In ‘Testing setup’, set ‘Pre-time’ 2.000S; ‘Interval’ 0.5S; ‘Hold’0.3S; ‘auto slip’
0.5Hz/S; ‘Step’ 1Hz; Test instrument firstly outputs 50Hz frequency for 2.000S（Pre-time）,
making the device work normally. And then it will change from 50Hz to the final value at
0.500Hz/S, until the timer starts at 49.000Hz, and it will not continue to change the
frequency until the device moves and the test instrument stops timing and measures the
Action time.
