The “Sudden change in current variation” function is a fast way of finding any abnormality in line currents. When there is a fault in the system, the current changes faster than the voltage. SCCVPTOC finds abnormal condition based on phase-to-phase current variation. The main application is as a local criterion to increase security when transfer trips are used.
For more detailed information on “Sudden change in current variation” function, refer to ABB, Relion 670 Series manuals.
The “Compensated over and undervoltage protection” function calculates the remote end voltage of the transmission line utilizing local measured voltage, current and with the help of transmission line parameters, that is, line resistance, reactance, capacitance and local shunt reactor. For protection of long transmission line for in zone faults, COUVGAPC can be incorporated with local criteria within direct transfer trip logic to ensure tripping of the line only under abnormal conditions.
For more detailed information on “Compensated over and undervoltage protection” function, refer to ABB, Relion 670 Series manuals.
The “Low active power and power factor protection” function measures power flow. It can be used for protection and monitoring of phase wise low active power, phase wise low power factor and phase wise reactive power and apparent power as service values.
For more detailed information on “Low active power and power factor protection” function, refer to ABB, Relion 670 Series manuals.
“Analog inputs” (input channels) must be configured and set properly in order to get correct measurement results and correct protection operations. For power measuring, all directional and differential functions, the directions of the input currents must be defined in order to reflect the way the current transformers are installed/connected in the field ( primary and secondary connections ). Measuring and protection algorithms in the IED use primary system quantities. Setting values are in primary quantities as well and it is important to set the data about the connected current and voltage transformers properly.
For more detailed information on “Analog inputs”, refer to ABB, Relion 670 Series manuals.
The “Frequency time accumulation protection” for generator protection provides the START output for a particular settable frequency limit, when the system frequency falls in that settable frequency band limit and positive sequence voltage within settable voltage band limit. The START signal triggers the individual event timer, which is the continuous time spent within the given frequency band, and the accumulation timer, which is the cumulative time spent within the given frequency band.
For more detailed information on “Frequency time accumulation protection” function, refer to ABB, Relion 670 Series manuals.
By the “100% Stator earth fault protection, 3rd harmonic based” either the 3rd harmonic voltage differential principle, the neutral point 3rd harmonic undervoltage principle or the terminal side 3rd harmonic overvoltage principle can be applied. However, differential principle is strongly recommended. Combination of these two measuring principles provides coverage for entire stator winding against earth faults.
For more detailed information on “100% Stator earth fault protection, 3rd harmonic based” function, refer to ABB, Relion 670 Series manuals.
The “Voltage unbalance protection of shunt capacitor bank” function uses the neutral voltage measurement of an ungrounded single or double WYE configuration of SCB. The protection arrangements are based on the terminal voltage limit and the current limit of the capacitor units.
For more detailed information on “Voltage unbalance protection of shunt capacitor bank” function, refer to ABB, Relion 670 Series manuals.

Any internal fault in the capacitor bank leads to unbalance in the shunt capacitor banks (SCB) and severe damage to the entire bank, which can result in an explosion or fire. In the shunt capacitor bank, the internal faults are due to open-circuit or short circuit of the capacitor units or elements. The “Phase voltage differential based capacitor bank unbalanced protection” can detect the voltage unbalance in the capacitor bank. It can be applied to grounded and ungrounded capacitor bank configurations, where the three-phase bus and tap voltage measurements are available.

Any internal fault in the capacitor bank leads to unbalance in the Shunt capacitor banks (SCB) and severe damage to the entire bank, which can result in an explosion or fire. Generally internal faults in the shunt capacitor bank are due to the open or short-circuit of the capacitor units or elements. The “Current unbalance protection of SCB” function uses measured phase current (I3P) and measured unbalance current (I3UNB). Based on the measured unbalance current deviation from the stored reference current value, the function identifies the severity of the internal fault in the SCB.
For more detailed information on “Current unbalance protection of SCB” function, refer to ABB, Relion 670 Series manuals.

Cascading failures are series faults in shunt capacitor banks involving more than one capacitor unit (or even more than one rack). They are characterized by the presence of an unbalanced shunt capacitor bank (SCB) current. However, as the connected power system is much stronger than the SCB rating, any unbalance voltage due to cascading faults inside the capacitor bank is typically not present in the system. The “Shunt capacitor cascading failure protection” function provides protection against cascading faults and has two modes to detect the unbalances.
For more detailed information on “Shunt capacitor cascading failure protection” function, refer to ABB, Relion 670 Series manuals.
