ABB Distribution Protection Unit DPU2000R Addendum 071709 to DPU2000R IB 7.11.1.7- 4, Issue E DPU2000R firmware maintenance releases have been issued May 29, 2009, and are available to customers that wish to utilize the improvements and additions the firmware releases entail in their installed DPU2000R units. A DPU2000R can be flash upgraded to the applicable latest maintenance release using the ABB flash programming tool WinFPI. Table A-1 shows the three DPU2000R hardware platforms and the highest CPU firmware version now available that applies per the maintenance releases covered in this addendum. Each hardware platform has a maximum CPU firmware version to which it can be flashed upgraded. A DPU2000R’s CPU version can be obtained via the LCD using the Unit Information menu option in the Settings menu for non-Operated Control Interface (OCI) units and Main Menu for OCI units or via WinECP using the status bar located on the bottom of the window.

The applicable section and page number(s) of the Instruction Booklet (IB) are provided in the heading. Section 1: Sensitive Earth Fault (SEF) Option, 50N-2(I0>2) – Definite Time, page 1-6 The directional SEF option utilizes the zero sequence current measured via the Sensor 5 current input terminals 45 and 46, see Figures 9-5 and 9-6 for connection details, for its operate quantity and the Sensor 5 current angle and zero sequence voltage angle from either the measured Sensor 10 voltage input angle terminals 35 and 36, see Figures 9-5 and 9-6 for connection details, or derived zero sequence voltage with wye-(star-)connected VT’s, see Section 2 Configuration Settings on page 2-1 as its polarization quantity. (Note: In Directional SEF DPU2000R units with CPU firmware V4.13 to V6.12, the polarization quantity utilized the neutral current input Sensor 4 when the Configuration setting “VT Connection” was set to either “69 Wye 3V0 Input” or “120 Wye 3V0 Input” which gave an effective sensitivity of 100 mA, not the 5 mA sensitivity achievable with the current input Sensor 5.) Section 1: Ground Directional Power Element 32N-2 (I2>-->), page 1-28 When the 32N-2 ground directional power element’s Select setting is set to “Enable – Zero Seq”, the element utilizes the zero sequence current angle measured via the Sensor 4 current input terminals 47 and 48, see Figure 9-46 for typical connection details, and the zero sequence voltage angle from either the measured Sensor 10 voltage input angle terminals 35 and 36, see Figures 9-5 and 9-6 for connection details, or derived zero sequence voltage with wye-(star-) connected VT’s, see Section 2 Configuration Settings on page 2-1, as its polarization quantity.

(Note: In PTH and SMT platform DPU2000R units with CPU firmware <V2.02 and <V4.15, respectively, ULO9 will reset whenever the seal-in alarms are cleared and the unit is reset.) Section 7: Page 7-6 CPU System Error Codes and Troubleshooting Instructions The DPU2000R CPU includes embedded self-diagnostics that run continuously and when an error is discovered will lead to a System Error code being displayed on the DPU2000R LCD and the disabling of protection.

  • What Are Electronic Timing Relays? a Relay Is an Electromagnetic Switch Which Operates on a Small Electric Current
    What Do You Know About Electronic Timing Relays? There are certain components that form the core of the modern control systems. One such important component used in many applications is an Electronic Timing Relay (ETR). Let us start by understanding some basics. What are Electronic Timing Relays? A relay is an electromagnetic switch which operates on a small electric current. These switches are used to turn on or off a circuit of higher amperage. When electricity is applied, the electromagnetic coil causes the armature to move, opening or closing the contacts, controlling the flow of electricity from a high current source connected to the load side of the relay. Relays act as bridges that activate larger currents using smaller ones. This allows you to use a relay to safely switch on and off different devices. An Electronic Timing Relay has circuitry integrated which controls the armature motion upon input voltage being applied. This addition gives the relay the property of time-delay actuation. Electronic Timing Relays are constructed to delay armature motion on coil energization, de-energization, or both. ETRs provide a wide range of selectable functions so that users can customize their specific machine operation. Relay Components and Operation What are the Best Features of Electronic Timing Relays? Electronic timing relays are used in a number of electronic applications, owing to the unending list of their features, which are as follows: • Multi-function timer, which allows the user to adjust between multiple timing functions. • High duty cycle applications. • DIN rail or panel mounting. • Resistant to mechanical shock and vibration.

  • Experiment (1) Principles of Switching
    Experiment (1) Principles of Switching Introduction When you use microcontrollers, sometimes you need to control devices that requires more electrical current than a microcontroller can supply; for this, electrical relays and transistors are used. In this experiment, we will investigate two types of switching; electromechanical switching and solid state switching. Objectives This experiment aims to: 1- Understand the basic principles of switching devices. 2- Introduction to electromechanical switching as well as solid state switching. 3- Understand the advantages and disadvantages of each type. 4- Study the relative speed of different type of switches. Theory Electromechanically Relays Relays are electromechanical devices that use an electromagnet to operate a pair of movable contacts from an open position to a closed position. The relay is a switch that is controlled by a small electric current. It can be used to control motors, heaters or lamps circuits which themselves can draw a lot more electrical power. Figure 1 shows the circuit symbol for a relay. Figure 1: Circuit symbol for a relay In figure 2, the relay’s coil is energized by the low-voltage (12 VDC) source, while the single- pole, single-throw (SPST) contact interrupts the high-voltage (480 VAC) circuit. It is quite likely that the current required to energize the relay coil will be hundreds of times less than the current rating of the contact. Typical relay coil currents are well below 1 amp, while typical contact ratings for industrial relays are at least 10 amps. Mechatronics Systems Design Lab Figure 2: Relay drive an AC load One relay coil/armature assembly may be used to actuate more than one set of contacts.
