9.3.1 BIASED DIFFERENTIAL CHARACTERISTIC
The B90 uses a dual-slope dual-breakpoint operating characteristic as shown in the figure below.
The PICKUP setting is provided to cope with spurious differential signals when the bus carries a light load and there is no
effective restraining signal.
The first breakpoint (
LOW BPNT
) is provided to specify the limit of guaranteed linear operation of the CTs in the most unfa-
vorable conditions such as high residual magnetism left in the magnetic cores or multiple autoreclosure shots. This point
defines the upper limit for the application of the first slope (
LOW SLOPE
).
The second breakpoint (
HIGH BPNT
) is provided to specify the limits of operation of the CTs without any substantial satura-
tion. This point defines the lower limit for the application of the second slope (
HIGH SLOPE
).
Figure 9–2: BIASED OPERATING CHARACTERISTIC
The higher slope used by the B90 acts as an actual percentage bias regardless of the value of the restraining signal. This is
so because the boundary of the operating characteristic in the higher slope region is a straight line intersecting the origin of
the ‘differential - restraining’ plane. The advantage of having a constant bias specified by the
HIGH SLOPE
setting creates an
obstacle of a discontinuity between the first and second slopes. This is overcome by using a smooth approximation (cubic
spline) of the characteristic between the lower and higher breakpoints. Consequently, the characteristic ensures:
•
a constant percentage bias of
LOW SLOPE
for restraining currents below the lower breakpoint of
LOW BPNT
,
•
a constant percentage bias of
HIGH SLOPE
for restraining currents above the higher breakpoint of
HIGH BPNT
, and
•
a smooth transition from the bias of
LOW SLOPE
to
HIGH SLOPE
between the breakpoints.
