1 Field of application
The EuroProt type complex protection in respect of hardware and software is a modular
device. The modules are assembled and configured according to the requirements, then the
functions are determined - within the hardware limitations - by the software. This document
describes the individual characteristics of a specific application: the factory configuration
DTD-EP complex differential protection. The general description of the members of the
EuroProt type complex protection family can be found in document “EuroProt complex
protection, hardware and software description and user’s manual” (further “EuroProt
manual”).

The DTD-EP complex numerical device realises three-phase differential protection function,
which can be applied to high speed and selective protection of high voltage transformers,
generators and generator-transformer units.

This manual describes several versions. The main information concerning these versions are
summarised in the Table below:

Table 1 The most common DTD versions

The device does not require matching intermediate current transformers. The turns ratio and
the phase shift due to the connection group of the transformers are matched by the software of
the differential protection.

The device includes separate overcurrent protection functions for all voltage levels of the
transformer.

As an option the included control (SCADA) functions can extend the device to the complex
field unit of the network.

The DTD-EP complex digital differential protection device is a fully numerical, micro-
controller-based system. The functions are determined by the software within the limitations
of the hardware.

The device performs the protection and the SCADA functions of high voltage transformers.

The design and the operation of the EuroProt devices are described in the document
„EuroProt manual”.

The device can be operated by the integrated man-machine interface (2x16 character LCD an
6 push-buttons on the front panel), but the operation is more convenient using a connected
external PC, running the „Protect for Windows” operating program, developed by Protecta
Co. Ltd. Both possibilities are described in details in the document „EuroProt manual”.

The external communication can be performed via the RS 232 serial interface of the front
panel (isolated against 2 kV) or via fibre optic interface on the rear side of the device. The
application of these communication interfaces is described in the document „EuroProt
manual” as well.

2 The operation of the protective functions

The DTD-EP type complex numerical protection contains the following protection functions:

• Three-phase differential protection functions, operating

independently in all three phases,
• Three-phase overcurrent functions,
• Optional zero sequence overcurrent function,
• Processing the mechanical protections of the transformer.

The protection functions are fully independent from each other, and the setting is independent
too. The outputs are managed by the software matrix, each of them can be enabled or disabled
individually. By appropriate parameter setting, they can be programmed for latching.

The following chapters contain the description of the protection functions.

2.1 Differential protection functions

The basic function of the complex device is the three-phase differential protection.

2.1.1 Realisation of the differential protection functions

The precondition of the correct operation of the DTD-EP type differential protection function
is the correct matching of the currents, and the correct handling of the different transformer
connection groups.

Current matching

When setting the parameters of the device the primary rated currents of the main transformers
on all (two or three) sides of the transformer must be selected (AV1, AV2, and AV3 in
primary Amperes). These parameters are needed only to display the measured currents scaled
in primary values.

The matching of the currents in DTD-EP differential protection function is easy. An

appropriate Isetting1 value is to be defined, which must be calculated as transformed to all
voltage levels, and are to be expressed as percent of the rated currents of the main current
transformers (Iset1%, Iset2%, and Iset3%). This calculation assures the matching of the
normal operating currents. The calculation is based on the following formulas:

Where U1, U2 and U3 are the rated voltage values of the transformer (in case of regulating
coils these are the central values).

The Isetting1 defined value is free to choose. It is usual to be selected as the rated current of
the transformer on the primary side Isetting1 = Itrn1. This Isetting1 will be the reference
value for displaying the Id % differential current and for the Is % restraint current (when it is
considered on the secondary side, it is Isetting2, etc.).

Matching the phase shift of the transformer

The matching of the phase shift of the transformer is solved by a simple parameter setting,
which is the code value of the transformer’s connection group. (e.g. Yd11). In a differential
protection for a transformer with two voltage levels the code values are listed in Table 2
(parameter: Setting code: [0-11]), and that for a transformer with three voltage levels in Table
3 (parameter: Setting code: [0-71]).

The differential protection function detects internal fault based on sampled phase current
comparison received from all sides of the transformer. “Rectified average” values are
calculated for a half period of the network frequency, and then the evaluation is performed in
all sampling time steps, in each millisecond. If significant difference is detected in 15
consecutive steps, this means internal fault, and trip command is generated.

In sampled current comparison the regulating range of the transformer and the errors of the
current transformers must be considered as well. This is solved by a „percentage” restraint
characteristic. If the point in the co-ordinate system defined by the Id% differential current and
the IS% restraint current is located in the upper part of the figure below, the protection
operates, and after 15 consecutive steps with the same decision it generates a trip command.

The individual sections of the tripping characteristics are explained as follows:

f1% This is the setting value of the horizontal section of the tripping characteristic, which
defines the basic sensitivity of the differential function. The value is expressed as
percent of the Iset1 current setting value. The differential protection can operate if: Id% >f1%

f2% This is the slope setting of the second section of the differential characteristic. This slope
is needed mainly because of the voltage regulation range of the transformer. The
differential function is balanced in the medium position of the tap-changer, any other position
generates a differential current. The second section of the characteristic starts in the origin,
and the section above the first section is valid only. The differential protection operates if the
Id % differential current is above the percent value defined by the Is % current and the f2
slope setting. The differential protection can operate if: Id% >f2%/100*IS%.

f3% The third section of the characteristic is needed because the possible saturation of the
main current transformers. The slope of this section is constant: tgα=2. The starting
point of this section on the vertical axis of the co-ordinate system is a negative value defined
by f3, it is valid only above the second section of the characteristic. The differential protection
can operate if the differential current is above this line too: Id% > (2*IS % – f3%).

f2h% To prevent false tripping because of the high inrush current of the transformer, the
differential protection is provided wit a second harmonic restraint. The second
harmonic restraint prevents the operation of the differential protection, if the second harmonic
content of the differential current is above the f2h setting, which is expressed as %. This
means: Id2h% >f2h% (Id2h% is the percentage value of the second harmonic content in
differential current, related to the basic harmonic).

Id>>% There is a possibility to set a high current value of the differential current, above
which the function generates an immediate trip command without restraint
calculation. The setting value is referred to the Isetting1 value, and it is expressed in %. If this
stage operates, the differential protection function generates a trip command within 15...20
ms.

If the differential current is above the characteristic lines, the normal operating time of the
differential protection function is about 20 ... 25 ms, (if the high current setting stage operates,
the time delay is about 10 … 15 ms.

2.1.3 Outputs of the differential protection function

The assignment of the 16 (K1…K16) output relays of the device is made using the software
matrix (see below, in the Chapter „The digital software matrix” ). In the versions DTD-3
V3.xx and DTD-3 [5*3AV] V3.xx additional 8 (K17…K24) output relays can be
programmed using the PROTLOG equations (see below in the Chapter „Programming the
PROTLOG equations”).

On the PC screen: Id>,
On the LCD: Mx Id>
For the PROTLOG programing the input variable received from the differential protection
function is:

The latching of the function can be programmed on the LCD with the following parameter:
„MxSId”
On the PC the latching is set as the following Figure shows:

2.2 Phase overcurrent function

In the DTD-EP factory configuration the differential protection function is extended with
phase overcurrent functions as well.

In the devices designed for transformers with two voltage levels (DTD-2 V3.xx, DTDZ-
2+U(dist.rec) V3.xx) the factory configurations realise one stage overcurrent function for the
high voltage side, and two-stage definite time overcurrent protection function on the lover
voltage side.

In the devices designed for transformers with three voltage levels (DTD-3 V3.xx, DTD-3
[5*3CT] V3.xx) the factory configurations realise one stage overcurrent function for the high
voltage side, and for both medium voltage sides as well

2.2.1 Realisation of the phase overcurrent function

The algorithm calculates with numerical Fourier analysis the basic harmonic component of
the current, and this is compared with the setting value. If the basic harmonic component is
above the setting, the function starts the time counter, the expiry of which generates a trip
command.

The measurement and the comparison are performed independently in all three phases, the
timer however is common for the three phases, and the trip command is common too.

2.2.2 Parameter setting

The phase overcurrent function needs the following parameter setting, as it is shown on Fig.
6. and 7. The Figures are PC screen snap-shots from the Protect for Windows operating
software:

The enabling of the overcurrent protection functions is programmed with parameter setting:
on the LCD of the device the parameters I>1Ena, I>2Ena, I>3Ena and I2>>Ena are to be
changed to 1 (yes). On the external PC the Protect for Windows software shows „ ” or
„ ”.

The setting of the parameters does not need any explanations.

2.2.3 Outputs of the overcurrent functions

The programming of the 16 output relays (K1…K16) of the DTD-EP factory configuration is
performed with software matrix (see below in Chapter „The digital software matrix”). The
versions DTD3V31 and DTD5 contain additional 8 (K17…K24) output relay, which can be
programmed using the PROTLOG equations (see below in chapter „Programming the
PROTLOG equations”). In both methods external control functions can be realised as well.

2.3 Earth fault protection

One of the main functions of the complex motor protection is the earth fault protection. This
function measures the zero sequence current partly as the sum of the three phase current,
partly the zero sequence current is measured on an independent input. The earth fault
protection is a two-stage definite time zero sequence overcurrent protection. The low current
setting stage uses the zero sequence current measured on the dedicated current input, the
decision of the high current setting stage is based on the sum of the three phase currents. The
operation of the earth-fault protection is similar to that of the phase overcurrent protection, but
beside the enabling the operation of the low current setting stage has an additional constraint
as well:

the phase overcurrents protection may not operate at the same time.

2.3.1 Realisation of the earth fault protection

In the DTD-EP factory configuration the zero sequence overcurrent function operates
independently of the phase overcurrent protection. The algorithm determines the basic
harmonic of the zero sequence current (both for the current measured on the dedicated input
and for the sum of the phase currents) and these values are compared with the settings.

The zero sequence current (3Io) is calculated as the sum of the phase currents, and it is
measured on the independent zero sequence current input as well.

2.4 Additional functions

2.4.1 The digital software matrix

Using the software matrix the status signals of the individual protection functions or internal
status signals of the self-check function can be marshalled to output relays. The inputs of the
matrix are the status signals; the outputs are the relay contacts.

The most convenient way to program the matrix is the application of the Protect for Windows
software, running on an external PC. The logic connection between the OR connection of the
inputs and outputs is established by changing the appropriate matrix element from „-„ to „+”
by clicking with the mouse on the appropriate element.

The matrix can be programmed with the man-machine interface of the device as well. In this
case to the input signals (matrix rows) the binary sum of the code values of the outputs must
be assigned (see details in the document „EuroProt manual”).

2.4.3 Application of the digital inputs

The factory configuration of the DTD-EP device is extended with 8 digital inputs. The first
seven inputs are connected to digital timers, and additionally the first four can be programmed
for drop-off delay or for starting delay, all others are pre-programmed for starting delay. The
first seven status signals serve as inputs for the software matrix, and all of them can be
applied as input variables of the PROTLOG equations. The „Protect for Windows” operating
program, running on an external PC supports the programming:

Fig. 20 Parameters of the input timers (Protect for Windows).

The „reset time delayed” means that the timer delays the drop-off of the status signal. This
can be changed to „oper. time delayed” which means that the status is set with time delay.

The LCD of the device displays these parameters as follows (they can be found in menu I>):

2.4.12.1 Internal supervision

The internal supervision covers the following items:

Error-free state of the memory for parameter storage,

Power supply of the battery supported RAM for event recording,
Correct operation of the A/D converter.

In case of any detected errors the status is changing in the CHK input of the software matrix.
Optionally this variable integrates the error signals of the circuit breaker supervision system
as well. This status signal can be marshalled to the available output contacts by programming
the software matrix.

2.4.12.2 The circuit breaker supervision system (option)

If the device is extended by a CB circuit supervision module, it can continuously monitor the
healthy state of the CB ON and OFF circuits. The method of supervision and its usage is
described in the document „EuroProt manual”.

The CB circuit supervision module includes three optically isolated inputs. One of them
connects the TRIP1 circuit, the second the TRIP2, the third the ON circuit.
