Earth-Fault Compensation Controller EFC50 / EFC50i
Application In high impedance grounded power distribution networks the neutral point of the network is connected to earth by means of a stepless adjustable inductor. If the resonance circuit formed by the adjustable inductive coil and the earth capacitance of the network is tuned to or close to resonance, the fault current is greatly reduced in case of a line-to-earth fault (earth fault). In most cases the arc caused by the fault current is etinguished without the need to switch off the faulty part of the network. As the Arc Suppression Coil (ASC) and the earth capacitance form a resonance circuit, the neutral-to-ground voltage of the network depends on the value of the inductance of the ASC and reaches a maimum when the ASC is tuned to resonance. This dependence of the neutral-to-ground voltage is utilised by the EFC50 and EFC50i Earth-Fault Compensation Controller for automatic tuning of on load adjustable ASCs. Control Algorithm Minimal Coil Movement- EFC50 During a tuning operation the ASC is adjusted by a small amount. Measuring the coil-position as well as the neutral-to-ground voltage during the adjustment operation, the controller computes the detuning value v, the asymmetry value k and the damping value d, which determine the resonance curve of the neutralto-ground voltage. Taking into consideration a customer settable under- or overcompensation, the controller calculates the necessary position and directly adjusts the ASC to the calcu lated value. Determining the Resonance Peak by Going Beyond It - EFC50 This method may be used if the asymmetry of the network is small, which results in very low neural-toground voltages. In this case, network reactions may cause fluctuations of the neutral-to-ground voltage. Therefore it is not possible to compute reliably the parameters of the network by means of a small detuning of the ASC. So the controller adjusts the ASC over a wider range, which must include the resonance peak. It stores the measured values and calculates out of these the resonance curve. Taking into consideration the desired under- or overcompensation, it computes the necessary position and adjusts the ASC to that value. Determination of the Resonance Point by Current Injection - EFC50i The EFC50i calculates the resonance curve by injecting a current into the zero sequence system of the network and measuring the vectors of both the neutral-to-ground voltage and the injected current. Where a network is essentially symmetrical and the neutral-to-ground voltage etremly low, and no reliable control signal is readily available, it is possible to increase the neutral-to-ground voltage by using the permanent current injection in a way that changes of the network configuration provide a reliable signal for the controller (inverse operation mode). In case of an outage of the current injection, the EFC50i automatically changes to a redundancy control mode whereby the resonance curve is determined via a slight adjustment of the ASC. 2

ECI Current Injection Device The Current Injection Device ECI is used to produce differential measurement values by means of the current injection into the zero-phase sequence sytem. This approach is used by both the Earth-Fault Compensation Controller EFC50i (see page 2) and the Earth-Fault Detection Device EFD (see brochure E667). Where a network is essentially symmetrical and the neutral-to-ground voltage etremely low, and no reliable control signal is readily available, it is possible to increase the neutral-to-ground voltage by using the permanent current injection in a way that changes of the network configuration ensuring a reliable signal for the controller (inverse operating mode implemented in the EFC50i control algorithm). The current injection into the zero-phase sequence system is usually done via a power auiliary winding of the Arc Suppression Coil. The Current Injection Device ECI essentially consists of a transformer, capacitors for current limiting, relays, control- and signal contacts. The following designs are available: indoor design, outdoor design, mounting plate for installation in an eisting cubicle, 19 -rack mounting.
