Page 73 This operation of contact inputs also can be prevented by using the Auto-Burnish contact inputs or contact inputs with active impedance. Figure 3–21: CONTACT INPUT CONNECTED TO A CONTACT OUTPUT WITH RESISTOR (R2) ACROSS THE INPUT GE Multilin B30 Bus Differential System 3-21...
Page 74 (EQ 3.2) The 2 mA current is used in case the contact input is connected across the GE Form A contact output with voltage monitoring. Otherwise use the amperage of the active circuit connected to the contact input when its contact output is open and the voltage across the contact input is third trigger threshold to calculate the resistor value.

When a settings file is transfered to a B30 device, the date, time, and serial number of the B30 are sent back to EnerVista UR Setup and added to the settings file on the local PC. This infor- mation can be compared with the B30 actual values at any later date to determine if security has been compromised.
Page 111 With respect to the above diagram, the traceability feature is used as follows. The transfer date of a setting file written to a B30 is logged in the relay and can be viewed via EnerVista UR Setup or the front panel display. Likewise, the transfer date of a setting file saved to a local PC is logged in EnerVista UR Setup.

When entering a settings or command password via EnerVista or any serial interface, the user must enter the correspond- ing connection password. If the connection is to the back of the B30, the remote password must be used. If the connection is to the RS232 port of the faceplate, the local password must be used.
Page 139 Proper passwords are required to enable each command or setting level access. A command or setting password consists of 1 to 10 numerical characters and are initially programmed to “0”. The following procedure describes how the set the com- mand or setting password. GE Multilin B30 Bus Differential System...
Page 140 INVALID ATTEMPS BEFORE LOCKOUT The B30 provides a means to raise an alarm upon failed password entry. Should password verification fail while accessing a password-protected level of the relay (either settings or commands), the FlexLogic™ operand is UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS asserted.
Page 141 ACCESS AUTH TIMEOUT immediately denied. If access is permitted and an off-to-on transition of the FlexLogic™ operand is detected, the time- out is restarted. The status of this timer is updated every 5 seconds. GE Multilin B30 Bus Differential System 5-11...

Page 147 TIMEOUT: 120 s The B30 supports the Distributed Network Protocol (DNP) version 3.0. The B30 can be used as a DNP slave device con- nected to multiple DNP masters (usually an RTU or a SCADA master station). Since the B30 maintains two sets of DNP data change buffers and connection information, two DNP masters can actively communicate with the B30 at one time.
Page 148 DNP analog input points that are voltages will be returned with values 1000 times smaller (for example, a value of 72000 V on the B30 will be returned as 72). These settings are useful when analog input values must be adjusted to fit within cer- tain ranges in DNP masters.
Page 149 (for circuit breakers) or raise/lower (for tap changers) using a single control point. That is, the DNP master can operate a single point for both trip and close, or raise and lower, operations. The B30 can be configured to sup- port paired control points, with each paired control point operating two virtual inputs.
Page 150 60870-5-104 point lists must be in one continuous block, any points assigned after the first “Off” point are ignored. NOTE Changes to the DNP / IEC 60870-5-104 point lists take effect when the B30 is restarted. NOTE g) IEC 61850 PROTOCOL ...
Page 151 IEC 61850 GSSE application ID name string sent as part of each GSSE message. This GSSE ID string identifies the GSSE message to the receiving device. In B30 releases previous to 5.0x, this name string was repre- sented by the setting.
Page 152 DESTINATION MAC address; the least significant bit of the first byte must be set. In B30 releases previous to 5.0x, the destination Ethernet MAC address was determined automatically by taking the sending MAC address (that is, the unique, local MAC address of the B30) and setting the multicast bit.
Page 153 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 159 The GGIO2 control configuration settings are used to set the control model for each input. The available choices are “0” (status only), “1” (direct control), and “2” (SBO with normal security). The GGIO2 control points are used to control the B30 virtual inputs.
Page 160 GGIO1 (binary status values). The settings allow the selection of FlexInteger™ values for each GGIO5 integer value point. It is intended that clients use GGIO5 to access generic integer values from the B30. Additional settings are provided to allow the selection of the number of integer values available in GGIO5 (1 to 16), and to assign FlexInteger™ values to the GGIO5 integer inputs.
Page 161 Changes to the report configuration take effect when the B30 is restarted. Disconnect any IEC 61850 client connection to the B30 prior to making setting changes to the report configuration. Disconnecting the rear Ethernet connection from the B30 disconnects the IEC 61850 client connection.
Page 162 NUMBER: The Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) can be used to transfer files from the B30 over a network. The B30 operates as a TFTP server. TFTP client software is available from various sources, including Microsoft Windows NT. The dir.txt file obtained from the B30 contains a list and description of all available files (event records, oscillography, etc.).
Page 163 The B30 supports the IEC 60870-5-104 protocol. The B30 can be used as an IEC 60870-5-104 slave device connected to a maximum of two masters (usually either an RTU or a SCADA master station). Since the B30 maintains two sets of IEC 60870-5-104 data change buffers, no more than two masters should actively communicate with the B30 at one time.
Page 164 B30 clock is closely synchronized with the SNTP/NTP server. It may take up to two minutes for the B30 to signal an SNTP self-test error if the server is offline.
Page 165 MESSAGE (Modbus register address range) Fast exchanges (50 to 1000 ms) are generally used in control schemes. The B30 has one fast exchange (Exchange 1) and two slow exchanges (Exchanges 2 and 3). The settings menu for the slow EGD exchanges is shown below: ...

Measuring Unit Unbiased Differential...
Page 362: Dynamic Bus Replica Mechanism
9.2.1 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.
Page 363: Ct Ratio Matching
9.2.2 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.
Page 364: Differential Principle
Figure 9–3: 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’...

Page 366: Enhanced Security
9 THEORY OF OPERATION 9.3.3 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.
Page 367: Directional Principle
9.4.1 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.
Page 368: Saturation Detector
9.5.1 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.

Page 375: Zoning And Dynamic Bus Replica
To provide the bus differential zoning as shown in the figures, eight currents need to be measured. Consequently, the pro- tection cannot be accomplished by one B30. However, as each bus has not more than six connections, two B30s can be used.

Page 377: Biased Characteristic Breakpoints
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.
Page 378: Low Breakpoint
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. The relay copes with this threat by using a 2- out-of-2 operating mode for low differential currents. 10-6 B30 Bus Differential System GE Multilin...

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 ...
Page 474 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.
Page 475: Server Features And Configuration
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.
Page 476: Logical Node Name Prefixes
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 478 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 479: Ethernet Mac Address For Gsse/Goose
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.
Page 480: Gsse Id And Goose Id Settings
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.
Page 481: Iec 61850 Implementation Via Enervista Ur Setup
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.
Page 482: Configuring Iec 61850 Settings
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.
Page 483: About Icd Files
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 >...

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.

Figure 0–9: SCD FILE STRUCTURE, IED NODE C.5.6 IMPORTING AN SCD FILE WITH ENERVISTA UR SETUP The following procedure describes how to update the B30 with the new configuration from an SCD file with the EnerVista UR Setup software. Right-click anywhere in the files panel and select the Import Contents From SCD File item.
Page 491 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.
