Extended Protection Features

On the ADVC Controller

With the flexVUE Operator Interface

Extended Protection Features

There are two Extended Protection features that can be enabled on an ADVC controller.
1. Protection control settings per protection group.

2. Individual Maximum Time setting for each protection trip that uses an inverse curve.

Enabling the Extended Protection Features - OCP

Extended Protection features are disabled by default and can be enabled individually.
Extended Protection features can be enabled via the ADVCs Operator Interface in the Engineering Menu:

Enabling the Extended Protection Features - WSOS

Extended Protection features are disabled by default and can be enabled individually.
Extended Protection features can also be enabled via WSOS in Feature Selection.

Protection Control Settings ON/OFF

The existing ON/OFF controls for the Protection Control Settings are global.
- Protection - Auto Reclose - Negative Phase Sequence Protection - Earth Fault Protection - Sensitive Earth Fault Protection

OPERATOR CONTROLS Auto Reclose OFF

i.e. Once configured they will apply regardless of which protection group is active.

OPERATOR CONTROLS E/F OFF, SEF OFF OPERATOR CONTROLS

Extended Protection functionality will allow the ON/OFF status for these settings to be determined by the active protection group.

Changing Protection Groups

Group A Group B

When the Protection Group is changed, e.g. A to B, the protection control settings may also change if the DEFAULT settings for the selected group are different to the previously active settings.

Default Protection Control Settings

When Extended Protection is enabled, each protection group has its own DEFAULT Protection Control settings.
GLOBAL CONTROL A Auto Reclose OFF These settings are referred to as non-volatile as they will be retained in the protection group settings despite changes to the operational settings when their group is active. These settings can be viewed on the operator interface in the Engineering Menu Protection Menu Protection Global Global Control The same options are available as for the Operator Settings. N.B. Protection OFF is included in the Auto Reclose ON/OFF field.

Maximum Time
The second of the Extended Protection features changes the way the Maximum Time setting can be used.
Normally there is only one Maximum Time setting for each protection Group. Maximum Time is a Global setting which means that it applies to all trip settings in that group which use an inverse curve for timing. Extended Protection provides a separate Maximum Time setting for each inverse curve that has been applied. (Max 18) Extended Protection reduces the minimum value for Maximum Time settings from 2.0s to 0.2s.

Extended Protection Features - Summary

Each Protection Group has its own default Protection Control settings which become active when that Protection Group becomes active. An operator can change the active protection control settings but if the changed settings are different to the default setting for the active Protection Group they will only survive until:
- The active Protection Group is changed. - Another setting change is made to the active settings.

A separate Maximum Time setting can be configured for each trip curve. The minimum Maximum Time setting is 0.2s. Extended Protection features are disabled by default.
