4.4 Voltage Transformer Supervision (60VTS)
Voltage Transformers (VTs) rarely fail, however, VT Supervision is commonly applied because the fuses
connected in series with the VTs may fail.
When a VT failure occurs on one or two phases, the voltage levels seen by the protection become unbalanced. A
large level of NPS voltage is therefore detected - around 0.3 x Vn for one or two VT failures. However this
condition would also occur for a system fault. To differentiate between the two conditions, the element uses NPS
current to restrain the VTS algorithm.
Following a VT Failure, the level of NPS current would be dependent solely upon load imbalance - perhaps 0.1 x
In as a maximum.
Operation is subject to a time delay to prevent operation for transitory effects.
Care must be taken when using ZPS quantities as it may be difficult to differentiate between a VT failure and a
Phase-Phase fault. Both conditions would generate little or no ZPS current. However the element provides an
option to use ZPS quantities to meet some older specifications.
When NPS quantities are used load imbalances generate significant levels of NPS current and so possibly cause
a VT failure to be missed. This can be overcome by setting the NPS current threshold above the level expected
for imbalance conditions.
If a failure occurs in all 3 Phases of a Voltage Transformer, then there will be no NPS or ZPS voltages. The PPS
voltage will however fall below expected minimum measurement levels.
This could also be due to a ‘close in’ fault and so PPS Current must remain above minimum load level BUT below
minimum fault level.
Operation is again subject to a time delay to prevent operation for transitory effects.
Alternatively a 3 Phase VT failure can be signalled to the relay via a Binary Input taken from the Trip output of an
external MCB. This can also be reset by a Binary Input signal.
VTS would not normally be used for tripping - it is an alarm rather than fault condition. However the loss of a VT
would cause problems for protection elements that have voltage dependant functionality. For this reason, the
relay allows these protection elements - under-voltage, directional over-current, etc. - to be inhibited if a VT failure
occurs.
Unless specific information is available the default settings should be used:
Gn 60VTS Component: NPS
Gn 60VTS V:
7V
Gn 60VTS I:
0.1 x In
Gn 60VTS Vpps:
15V
Gn 60VTS Ipps Load:
0.1 x In
Gn 60VTS Ipps Fault:
10 x In
4.5 Trip-Circuit Supervision (74TCS)
Binary Inputs may be used to monitor the integrity of the CB trip circuit wiring. A small current flows through the
B.I. and the trip circuit. This current operates the B.I. confirming the integrity of the auxiliary supply, CB trip coil,
auxiliary switch, C.B. secondary isolating contacts and associated wiring. If monitoring current flow ceases, the
B.I. drops off and if it is user programmed to operate one of the output relays, this can provide a remote alarm. In
addition, an LED on the relay can be programmed to operate. A user text label can be used to define the operated
LED e.g. “Trip CCT Fail”.
The relevant Binary Input is mapped to 74TCS-n in the INPUT CONFIG>INPUT MATRIX menu. To avoid giving
spurious alarm messages while the circuit breaker is operating the input is given a 0.4s Drop-off Delay in the
INPUT CONFIG>BINARY INPUT CONFIG menu.
To provide an alarm output a normally open binary output is mapped to 74TCS-n.
