Some customers prefer very low currents to display as zero, while others prefer the current be displayed even when the value reflects noise rather than the actual signal. The B30 applies a cut- off value to the magnitudes and angles of the measured currents.
Selected records can be cleared from user-programmable conditions with FlexLogic operands. Assigning user-programma- ble pushbuttons to clear specific records are typical applications for these commands. Since the B30 responds to rising edges of the configured FlexLogic operands, they must be asserted for at least 50 ms to take effect.
MESSAGE MIN TIME: 0 ms : The B30 is equipped with two independent serial communication ports. The faceplate RS485 COM2 BAUD RATE PARITY RS232 port is intended for local use and is fixed at 19200 bit/s baud and even parity. The rear COM2 port is RS485 and has settings for baud rate and parity.

ETHERNET NETWORK TOPOLOGY The B30 has three Ethernet ports. Each Ethernet port must belong to a different network or subnetwork. Configure the IP address and subnet to ensure that each port meets this requirement. Two subnets are different when the bitwise AND oper- ation performed between their respective IP address and mask produces a different result.

The delay in switching back ensures that rebooted switching devices connected to the B30, which signal their ports as active prior to being completely functional, have time to completely initialize themselves and become active. Once port 2 is active again, port 3 returns to standby mode.

Figure 5–39: UR ARCHITECTURE OVERVIEW The states of all digital signals used in the B30 are represented by flags (or FlexLogic operands, which are described later in this section). A digital “1” is represented by a 'set' flag. Any external contact change-of-state can be used to block an ele- ment from operating, as an input to a control feature in a FlexLogic equation, or to operate a contact output.

8 THEORY OF OPERATION 8.1INTRODUCTION 8.1.1 BUS DIFFERENTIAL PROTECTION Referring to the figure below, input currents defining (through the dynamic bus replica) the bus differential zone are received by the B30 from current transformers (CTs) associated with the power system. Measuring Unit Unbiased Differential...
8.2.1 DYNAMIC BUS REPLICA MECHANISM The B30 provides protection for one bus differential zone. The bus differential zone of the B30 allows for protecting bus sections that include circuits that are switchable between different bus sections. Proper relay operation is achieved by associating a status signal with each input current.
8.2.2 CT RATIO MATCHING The B30 allows for using CTs with various rated secondary currents and transformation ratios. Scaling to a common base is performed internally by the relay. The maximum allowable ratio mismatch is 32:1. For proper setting of the differential char- acteristic, it is imperative to understand the common base used by the relay.
Figure 8–3: BIASED OPERATING CHARACTERISTIC The higher slope used by the B30 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’...

8 THEORY OF OPERATION 8.3.3 ENHANCED SECURITY In order to enhance the performance of the B30, the differential characteristic is divided into two regions having diverse operating modes as shown in following diagram. The first region applies to comparatively low differential currents and has been introduced to deal with CT saturation on low- current external faults.
8.4.1 CURRENT DIRECTIONAL PROTECTION For better security, the B30 uses the current directional protection principle to dynamically supervise the main current differ- ential function. The directional principle is in effect permanently for low differential currents (region 1 in the Two Regions of Differential Characteristic figure) and is switched on dynamically for large differential currents (region 2 in the same figure) by the saturation detector (see the Saturation Detector section) upon detecting CT saturation.
8.5.1 CT SATURATION DETECTION The saturation detector of the B30 takes advantage of the fact that any CT operates correctly for a short period of time even under very large primary currents that would subsequently cause a very deep saturation. As a result of that, in the case of an external fault, the differential current stays very low during the initial period of linear operation of the CTs while the restraining signal develops rapidly.

Figure 8-10 presents the bus currents and the most important logic signals for the case of an external fault. Despite very fast and severe CT saturation, the B30 remains stable. Figure 8-11 presents the same signals but for the case of an internal fault. The B30 trips in 10 ms (fast form-C output con- tact).

It is also assumed that the CTs have been selected without considering a B30 application, but the B30 settings are to be calculated for proper relay application. The CT data used in this example are kept to a minimum and in a generic form. The CT data does not reflect any particular notation or national standards.

Assuming 0.003 Ω/m lead resistance and approximating the B30 input resistance for the 5A input CTs as 0.2 VA / (5 A) 0.008 Ω, the limits of the linear operation of the CTs have been calculated and presented in the Limits of Linear Operations of the CTs table.
A combination of very high residual magnetism and a DC component with a long time constant may saturate a given CT even with the AC current below the suggested value of the lower breakpoint.

LAN environment. Actual MMS protocol services are mapped to IEC 61850 abstract ser- vices in IEC 61850-8-1. The B30 relay supports IEC 61850 server services over TCP/IP. The TCP/IP profile requires the B30 to have an IP address to establish communications. These addresses are located in the ...
APPENDIX C C.1.3 FILE TRANSFER BY IEC 61850 The B30 supports file transfer by IEC 61850. The approach is as follows, using the SISCO AX-S4 61850 client software as an example. In the AX-S4 61850 Explorer window, click the Tools menu and access the SISCO File Transfer Utility.
C.2.2 GGIO1: DIGITAL STATUS VALUES The GGIO1 logical node is available in the B30 to provide access to as many 128 digital status points and associated time- stamps and quality flags. The data content must be configured before the data can be used. GGIO1 provides digital status points for access by clients.
A limited number of measured analog values are available through the MMXU logical nodes. Each MMXU logical node provides data from a B30 current and voltage source. There is one MMXU available for each con- figurable source (programmed in the ...

The protection elements listed above contain start (pickup) and operate flags. For example, the start flag for PIOC1 is PIOC1.ST.Str.general. The operate flag for PIOC1 is PIOC1.ST.Op.general. For the B30 protection elements, these flags take their values from the pickup and operate FlexLogic operands for the corresponding element.
C.3.4 LOGICAL DEVICE NAME The logical device name is used to identify the IEC 61850 logical device that exists within the B30. This name is composed of two parts: the IED name setting and the logical device instance. The complete logical device name is the combination of the two character strings programmed in the settings.
A built-in TCP/IP connection timeout of two minutes is employed by the B30 to detect ‘dead’ connections. If there is no data traffic on a TCP connection for greater than two minutes, the connection will be aborted by the B30. This frees up the con- nection to be used by other clients.
MAC address for GSSE messages. If GSSE DESTINATION MAC ADDRESS a valid multicast Ethernet MAC address is not entered (for example, 00 00 00 00 00 00), the B30 will use the source Ether- net MAC address as the destination, with the multicast bit set.
Page 555
The B30 has the ability of detecting if a data item in one of the GOOSE datasets is erroneously oscillating. This can be caused by events such as errors in logic programming, inputs improperly being asserted and de-asserted, or failed station components.
Page 556
REMOTE IN 1 ITEM item to remote input 1. Remote input 1 can now be used in FlexLogic equations or other settings. The B30 must be rebooted (control power removed and re-applied) before these settings take effect. The value of remote input 1 (Boolean on or off) in the receiving device will be determined by the GGIO1.ST.Ind1.stVal value in the sending device.
GSSE and GOOSE messages must have multicast destination MAC addresses. By default, the B30 is configured to use an automated multicast MAC scheme. If the B30 destination MAC address setting is not a valid multicast address (that is, the least significant bit of the first byte is not set), the address used as the destina- tion MAC will be the same as the local MAC address, but with the multicast bit set.
An ICD file is generated for the B30 by the EnerVista UR Setup software that describe the capabilities of the IED. The ICD file is then imported into a system configurator along with other ICD files for other IEDs (from GE or other ven- dors) for system configuration.
Transmission GOOSE dataset may be added or deleted, or prefixes of some logical nodes may be changed. While all new configurations will be mapped to the B30 settings file when importing an SCD file, all unchanged settings will preserve the same values in the new settings file.
Although configurable transmission GOOSE can also be created and altered by some third-party system con- figurators, we recommend configuring transmission GOOSE for GE Multilin IEDs before creating the ICD, and strictly within EnerVista UR Setup software or the front panel display (access through the Settings > Product Setup > Com- munications >...

Furthermore, it defines the capabilities of an IED in terms of communication services offered and, together with its LNType, instantiated data (DO) and its default or configuration values. There should be only one IED section in an ICD since it only describes one IED. GE Multilin B30 Bus Differential System C-15...

The EnerVista UR Setup will prompt to save the file. Select the file path and enter the name for the ICD file, then click OK to generate the file. The time to create an ICD file from the offline B30 settings file is typically much quicker than create an ICD file directly from the relay.

The software will open the SCD file and then prompt the user to save a UR-series settings file. Select a location and name for the URS (UR-series relay settings) file. If there is more than one GE Multilin IED defined in the SCD file, the software prompt the user to save a UR-series set- tings file for each IED.
