CAUTION!
When MV equipment is operating, certain components are live, other parts may be in movement and some may reach high
temperatures. Therefore, the use of this equipment poses electrical, mechanical and thermal risks.
In order to ensure an acceptable level of protection for people and property, and in compliance with applicable environmental
recommendations, Ormazabal designs and manufactures its products according to the principle of integrated safety, based on
the following criteria:

Elimination of hazards wherever possible.

Where elimination of hazards is neither technically nor economically feasible, appropriate protection functions are
incorporated in the equipment.

Communication about remaining risks to facilitate the design of operating procedures which prevent such risks,
training for the personnel in charge of the equipment, and the use of suitable personal protection equipment.

Use of recyclable materials and establishment of procedures for the disposal of equipment and components so
that once the end of their service lives is reached, they are duly processed in accordance, as far as possible, with
the environmental restrictions established by the competent authorities.
Consequently, the equipment to which the present manual refers complies with the requirements of section 11.2 of the
forthcoming IEC standard 62271-1. It must therefore only be operated by appropriately qualified and supervised personnel, in
accordance with the requirements of standard EN 50110-1 on the safety of electrical installations and standard EN 50110-2 on
activities in or near electrical installations. Personnel must be fully familiar with the instructions and warnings contained in this
manual and in other recommendations of a more general nature which are applicable to the situation according to current
legislation.
The above must be carefully observed, as the correct and safe operation of this equipment depends not only on its design but
also on general circumstances which are in general beyond the control and responsibility of the manufacturer. More specifically:

The equipment must be handled and transported appropriately from the factory to the place of installation.

All intermediate storage should occur in conditions which do not alter or damage the characteristics of the
equipment or its essential components.


1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ekorRP range of protection, metering and control units brings together an entire family
of different equipment, which depending on the model, may incorporate protection functions
as well as other functions such as local control, remote control, electrical parameter
metering, automation, etc., related to the current and future automation, control and
protection needs of Transformer and Switching Substations.
Its use in Ormazabal’s CGMCOSMOS, CGM-CGC and CGM.3 cubicle systems allows the
configuration of customised products for meeting the diverse needs of the different
installations.
The ekorRP protection, metering and control units have been designed to meet the national
and international standard requirements and recommendations that are applied to each of
the parts that make up the unit:
EN 60255, EN 61000, EN 62271-200, EN 60068,
EN 60044, IEC 60255, IEC 61000, IEC 62271-200, IEC 60068, IEC 60044

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR
ekorRP
PROTECTION, METERING AND CONTROL UNITS
Designed to be integrated in a cubicle, the ekorRP units also provide the following
advantages over conventional devices:
 Reduction in handling of interconnections when installing the cubicle. The only
connection required is limited to MV cables.
 Minimisation of the need to install control boxes on the cubicles.
 Avoidance of wiring and installation errors; minimisation of commissioning time.
 All the units are factory installed, adjusted and checked; each piece of equipment (relay
+ control + sensors) also undergoes a comprehensive check before being installed.
The final unit tests are carried out once the unit is incorporated in the cubicle before
delivery.
 They protect a broad power range with the same model (e.g.: ekorRPG from 160 kVA
up to 15 MVA, in CGMCOSMOS system cubicles).
1.1. GENERAL FUNCTIONAL CHARACTERISTICS
All the relays of the ekorRP units include a microprocessor for
processing the signals from the metering sensors. They
process current metering by eradicating the influence of
transient phenomena and calculate the magnitudes needed for
to carry out protection functions. In addition, the efficient
electrical metering values, which provide the instantaneous
value of these installation parameters, are determined.
They are equipped with keypad for local display, setup and
operation of the unit, as well as communication ports to handle
these functions from a computer, whether locally or remotely.
A user-friendly design has been employed, so that the use of
the various menus is intuitive.
The current is measured by means of several current sensors
with a high transformation ratio, making it possible for the
same equipment to detect a wide range of power levels.
These transformers or current sensors maintain the accuracy
class in all of their rated range.

PROTECTION, METERING AND CONTROL UNITS
The unit contains an events log where all of the latest trips made by the protection functions
are registered. In addition, the total number of operations is saved as well as the unit's
settings parameters. The local interface uses menus to provide the instantaneous values of
the current metering for each phase and zero-sequence current, as well as the setting
parameters, trip motives, etc. They can also be accessed via the communication ports.
From a maintenance perspective, the ekorRP units have a series of features that reduce the
time and the possibility of errors in the test and service restoration tasks. The main features
include some toroidal-core current transformers with larger diameters and test connections;
accessible and disconnectable terminal blocks for tests using current injection; and built-in
test contacts, even in the basic models.
1.2. PARTS OF THE UNIT
The parts that form the ekorRP protection, metering and control unit include the electronic
relay, current sensors, power supply and test board, selfpowered toruses (only for
selfpowered models) and the bistable trigger.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR
ekorRP
PROTECTION, METERING AND CONTROL UNITS
1.2.1. Electronic Relay
The electronic relay has keys and a display to set and view
the protection, metering and control parameters. It includes
a seal on the SET key to ensure that once the settings
have been made they cannot be changed unless the seal is
broken.
The protection trips are registered on the display with the
following parameters: reason for tripping, fault current
value, tripping time and the time and date the event
occurred. Errors in the unit, such as a switch failure,
incorrect thermometer connection, low battery, etc., are
also shown permanently.
The 'On' LED is activated when the equipment receives
power from an external source or the self-powered
transformers. In this situation, the unit is operational to
perform the protection functions. If the 'On' LED is not
activated, only the unit's parameters can be viewed and/or
adjusted (function exclusively assigned to the relay's internal battery).
The current analog signals are conditioned internally by small and very accurate
transformers that isolate the electronic circuits from the rest of the installation.
The equipment has two communication ports, one on the front used for local configuration
(RS232), and another one on the rear used for remote control (RS485). The standard
communication protocol for all models is MODBUS. Others may be used depending on the
application.
1.2.2. Current Sensors
The current sensors are toroidal-core current
transformers with a 300/1 A or 1000/1 A ratio,
depending on the models. Their range of action is the
same as the switchgear where they are installed. They
are factory-installed in the cubicle bushings, which
significantly simplifies the on-site assembly and
connection. This way, once the MV cables are
connected to the cubicle, the installation protection is
operational. There are no sensor installation errors,
due to earthing grids, polarities, etc. since they are
previously installed and tested at the factory.
Current
sensors
Bushing
The inner diameter of the toroidal-core current
transformers is 82 mm, which means they can be used
in cables of up to 400 mm2 without any problems for performing maintenance testing
afterwards.
If the equipment is selfpowered, the toroidal transformers are equipped with some anchorage
points to place them in the same area as the metering transformers, thus forming a single,
Page 9 of 84
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR
ekorRP
PROTECTION, METERING AND CONTROL UNITS
compact block. These transformers supply 1 W when the primary current is ≥ 5 A. This power
is enough to allow the units to function correctly.
All the current sensors have an integrated protection against the opening of secondary
circuits, which prevents overvoltages.
1.2.3. Power Supply and Test Board
The selfpowered equipment's power supply board prepares the selfpowered
transformers' signal and converts it into a DC signal to safely power the equipment. The
transformers permanently feed power from 5 to 630 primary amps to the board.
It also has a 230 Vac input with 10 kV level of insulation. This input is for direct connection to
the Transformer Substation's LVB.
The power supply board of models with auxiliary power supply has an input for
connecting both the AC (24 to 110 Vac) and DC (24 to 125 Vdc) power supply. The board
prepares the signal, converting it into a DC signal
suitable for safely powering the equipment.
Furthermore, both types of board have a built-in
protection trip test circuit as well as connectors for
carrying out current injection functional tests during
maintenance and checking operations. The units also
have a protection device for absorbing the excess
energy produced by the transformers when there are
short-circuits up to 20 kA.
1.2.4. Bistable trigger
The bistable trigger is an electromechanical actuator that is
integrated into the switch driving mechanism. This trigger
acts upon the switch when there is a protection trip. It is
characterised by the low actuation power it requires for
tripping. This energy is received in the form of pulses
lasting 50 ms and with an amplitude of 12 V. When there is
a fault, these pulses are repeated every 400 ms to ensure
that the switch opens.

1.3. COMMUNICATIONS AND PROGRAMMING SOFTWARE
All the ekorRP units have two serial communication ports. The standard RS232 front port is
used to set the local parameters with the ekorSOFT program[1]. At the rear, there is an
RS485 port which is used for remote control.
The standard communication protocol implemented in all equipment is MODBUS-RTU
(binary) transmission mode, although other specific protocols can be implemented depending
on the application. This protocol has the advantage of greater information density than other
modes, resulting in a higher transmission rate for the same communication speed. Each
message must be transmitted as a continuous string and the silences are used to detect the
end of the message.
[1]
For more information about the ekorSOFT program, consult Ormazabal’s IG-155 document.

2. APPLICATIONS
2.1. TRANSFORMER PROTECTION
The distribution transformers require various
protection
functions.
Their
selection
depends primarily on the power and level of
responsibility they have in the installation.
As an example, the protection functions that
must be implemented to protect distribution
transformers with a power rating between
160 kVA and 2 MVA are the following:
 50

Instantaneous
phase
overcurrent. Protects against shortcircuits between phases in the primary
circuit, or high value short-circuit
currents between phases on the
secondary side. This function is
performed by the fuses when the
protection cubicle does not include a
circuit-breaker.
 51  Phase overload. Protects
against excessive overloads, which
can deteriorate the transformer, or
against short-circuits in several turns
of the primary windings.
 50N  Instantaneous earth fault. Protects
against phase to earth short-circuits or
secondary winding short-circuits, from the
primary interconnections and windings.
 51N  Earth Leakage. Protects against highly
resistive faults from the primary to earth or to
the secondary.
 49T  Thermometer. Protects
excessive transformer temperature.

2.2. GENERAL PROTECTION
The client supply installations require general
protection to ensure that an installation is
disconnected from the rest of the network in the
event of a fault. In this way, the Utility's supply
line will remain energised and other clients will
remain unaffected. It also protects the client's
installation by disconnecting it from the power
source in the event of a fault.
In this type of protection, all the faults detected
in the substation's main circuit breaker should
be simultaneously detected in the transformer
substations so that they can be cleared before
the line trips (protection selectivity).
 50  Instantaneous phase overcurrent. Protects against short-circuits between
phases.
 51  Phase overload. Protects against excessive overloads, which can deteriorate the
installation. It is also used as a limiting device to control the supply's maximum power.
 50N  Instantaneous earth fault. Protects against phase-to-earth short-circuits.
 51N  Earth leakage. Protects against highly resistive faults between phase and earth.

2.3. LINE PROTECTION
The purpose of the line protection is to isolate this
part of the network in case of fault, without it
affecting the rest of the lines. Generally, it covers
any fault that originates between the Substation,
or Switching Substation, and the consumption
points.
The types of fault that occur in these areas of the
network primarily depend on the nature of the
line, overhead line or cable and the neutral used.
In networks with overhead lines, most faults are transitory. Hence, many line reclosings are
effective.
On the other hand, in case of phase-to-earth faults in overhead lines, when the ground
resistance is very high, the zero-sequence fault currents have a very low value In these
cases, an ‘ultrasensitive’ neutral current detection is required.
The underground cables have earth coupling capacities, which causes the single phase
faults to include capacitive currents. This phenomenon makes detection difficult in isolated or
resonant earthed neutral networks and thus requires the use of the directional function.
Line protection is mainly accomplished by the following functions:
 50  Instantaneous phase overcurrent. Protects against short-circuits between
phases.
 51  Phase overload. Protects against excessive overloads, which can deteriorate the
installation.
 50N  Instantaneous earth fault. Protects against phase-to-earth short-circuits.
 51N  Earth leakage. Protects against highly resistive faults between phase and earth.
 50Ns  Ultrasensitive earth instantaneous overcurrent. Protects against phase to
earth short-circuits of very low value.
 51Ns  Ultrasensitive earth leakage protection. Protects against highly resistive
faults between phase and earth of very low value.

3. PROTECTION FUNCTIONS
3.1. OVERCURRENT
The units have an overcurrent function for each one of the phases (3 x 50-51) and,
depending on the model, they may have another one for earth (50N-51N). The implemented
protection curves are the ones listed in standard IEC 60255.
Overcurrent functions that can be performed depending on the model:
 Overload multicurve protection for phases (51).
 Protection of phase-to-earth multicurve faults (51N).
 Short-circuit protection (instantaneous) at a defined time between phases (50).
 Short-circuit protection (instantaneous) at a defined time between phase and earth
(50N).
Meaning of the curve parameters for phase settings:
t(s) Theoretical tripping time for a fault which evolves with a constant current value.
I Actual current flowing through the phase with the largest amplitude.
In
Rated setting current.
I> Withstand overload increment.
K Curve factor.
I>> Short-circuit current factor (instantaneous).
T>> Short-circuit delay time (instantaneous).
 Pick-up current value of NI, VI, and EI curves = 1.1 x In x I>
 Pick-up current value of DT curve = 1.0 x In x I>
 Instantaneous pick-up current value = In x I> x I>>
In the case of earth settings, the parameters are similar to the phase settings. Each of
them is described below.
to(s)  Theoretical tripping time for an earth fault which evolves with a constant
current value I0.
Io  Actual current flowing to earth.
In  Rated phase setting current.
Io>  Withstand earth leakage factor (phase).
Ko  Curve factor.
Io>>  Short-circuit current factor (instantaneous).
To>>  Short-circuit delay time (instantaneous).
 Pick-up current value of NI, VI, and EI curves = 1,1 x In x Io>
 Pick-up current value of DT curve = 1,0 x In x Io>
 Instantaneous pick-up current value = In x Io> x Io>>

3.2. THERMOMETER (EXTERNAL TRIP)
The equipment has an input for connecting volt-free contacts and tripping the switch. This
input is protected against erroneous connections (e.g. 230 Vac) showing an error code on the
display when this anomaly occurs.
The switch trips when the volt-free contact is
closed for at least 200 ms. This prevents
untimely tripping due to external disturbances.
External tripping protection is disabled when
all of the overcurrent protection functions are
disabled (for firmware version 18 or later).
In this situation, the relay will not trip the
switch but a flashing arrow will appear at the
top of the display screen to show that the
external trip contact is closed (see section
§8.4).
The purpose of this function is to protect the
transformers' maximum temperature. The trip input is associated to contact of the
thermometer which measures the oil's temperature and when the maximum set value is
reached, its associated contact closes and the switch trips. Unlike conventional coils, it has
the advantage of not having low-voltage network connections with the consequent
overvoltages generated in the control circuits.
This trip input can also be associated to output contacts of remote control terminals, alarms
and auxiliary relays responsible for opening the switch.
3.3. EARTH ULTRASENSITIVE DEVICE
This protection corresponds to a particular type of
overcurrent protections. It is primarily used in
networks with isolated or resonant earthed neutral,
where the phase-to-earth fault current value
depends on the system cable capacity value and
on the point in which the fault occurs. Generally, in
Medium Voltage private installations with short
cable stretches, simply determine a minimum zerosequence current threshold at which the protection
must trip.
0-sequence
toroidal
transformer
Page 19 of 84
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR
ekorRP
PROTECTION, METERING AND CONTROL UNITS
The current flowing to earth is detected using a toroidal-core current transformer which
covers the three phases. In this way, the metering is independent from the phase current,
thus avoiding errors in the phase metering transformers. In general, this type of protection
must be used when the set earth current is less than 10% of the rated phase current (for
example: for a rated phase current of 400 A with earth faults below 40 A).
On the other hand, in the lines, whose cable stretches are usually long, it is necessary to
identify the fault direction. Otherwise, trips can occur due to capacitive currents from other
lines, when there is not any fault in the line.
The available curves are: normally inverse (NI), very inverse (VI), extremely inverse (EI)
and defined time (DT).
The setting parameters are the same as in the earth faults of the overcurrent functions
(section §3.1 Overcurrent), with the exception that factor Io> is replaced with the value
directly in amps Ig. This way, this parameter can be set to very low earth current values,
regardless of the phase setting current.
 Pick-up current value of NI, VI, and EI curves = 1.1x Ig
 Pick-up current value of DT curve = Ig
 Instantaneous pick-up current value = Ig x Io>>

4. METERING FUNCTIONS
4.1. CURRENT
The current values measured by the ekorRP units
correspond to the efficient values of each of the
phases I1, I2 and I3. Eight samples from a halfperiod are used and the mean of five consecutive
values is calculated. This measurement is updated
every second. It offers Class 1 meter accuracy,
from 5 A up to 120% of the current sensor’s
maximum rated range. The zero-sequence current
measurement Io is performed in the same way as
the phase currents.
 Current meters: I1, I2, I3 and Io
5. SENSORS
5.1. CURRENT SENSORS
The electronic current transformers are designed for
optimal adaptation to digital equipment technology,
with a slight modification of the secondary interface.
Therefore, the protection, metering and control
equipment for these sensors operate with the same
algorithms and with the same consistency as
conventional devices.
The low power outputs from the sensors can be
adapted to standard values using external amplifiers.
In this way, you can use conventional equipment or
electronic relays.

Main advantages derived from the use of sensor based systems:
 Small volume.The decreased power consumption of these transformers allows their
volume to be drastically reduced.
 Improved accuracy. Signal acquisition is much more accurate due to high
transformation ratios.
 Wide range. When there are power increases in the installation, the sensors do not

 Greater safety. The open-air live parts disappear, increasing personnel safety.
 Greater reliability. The full insulation of the whole installation provides greater levels
of protection against external agents.
 Easy maintenance. The sensors do not need to be disconnected when the cable or
cubicle is being tested.

The wiring of the aforementioned transformers is performed in two different ways, depending
on whether they have a zero-sequence toroidal current transformer installed or not. As a
general rule, the zero-sequence toroidal transformer is used when the earth fault current is a
below 10% of the phase current rating.

7.3. ekorRPT UNITS
7.3.1. Functional description
The ekorRPT protection, metering and control unit is used for the protection of distribution
transformers. It is installed in fuse-combination switch cubicles so the electronic system
performs all the protection functions, except high polyphase short-circuit values, which are
cleared by the fuses.
When an overcurrent that is within the values that the load break switch can open is
detected, the relay acts upon a low power bistable trigger that opens the switch. If the fault
current is greater than the breaking capacity of the load break switch[2], the switch trip is
blocked so that the fuses will blow. On the other hand, the equipment is disconnected and
the fuses do not remain energised.

Selection process for the ekorRPT unit protection parameters in CGMCOSMOS-P cubicles:
1. Determine the required fuse rating to protect the transformer in accordance with the fuse
table in Ormazabal’s document IG-078. The maximum ratings that can be used are 160 A
for voltages up to and including 12 kV, and 125 A for voltages up to and including 24 kV.
2. Calculate the transformer rated current In = S/3xUn.
3. Define the continuous overload level I>. Normal values in transformers of up to 2000 kVA
are 20% for distribution installations and 5% for power generation installations.
4. Select the transitory overload curve. Coordination between relay curves and LV fuses is
performed with the EI type curve.
5. Define the delay time in transitory overload K. This parameter is defined by the
transformer’s thermal constant. This way, the greater the constant, the longer it takes for
the transformer’s temperature to increase under an overload condition; and therefore, the
protection trigger can be delayed longer. The usual value for distribution transformers is
K = 0.2, which means that it trips in 2 s if the overload is 300% in the EI curve.
6. Short-circuit level I>>. The maximum value of the transformer’s magnetisation current
must be determined. The current peak produced when a no-load transformer is
connected, due to the effect of a magnetised nucleus, is several times greater than the
rated current. This peak value, up to 12 times the rated value (10 times for more than
Page 32 of 84

ekorRP
PROTECTION, METERING AND CONTROL UNITS
IG-159-GB
version 07
20.09.2012 84
1000 kVA) has a very high harmonic content, so its fundamental 50 Hz component is
much less. Therefore, a usual setting value for this parameter is between 7 and 10.
7. Instantaneous time delay T>>. This value corresponds with the protection trip time in the
event a short-circuit occurs. It depends on the coordination with other protections and the
usual values are between 0.1 and 0.5 s. If the short-circuit value is high, the fuses will act
in the time determined by their characteristic curve.
8. Determine the current value in case of secondary three-phase short-circuit. This fault
must be cleared by the fuses, and it corresponds with the intersection point’s maximum
value between the relay and the fuse curves. If the intersection point is greater than the
secondary short-circuit value, the settings must be adjusted to meet this requirement.
To select the ekorRPT unit protection parameters in CGM-CMP-F and CGM.3-P cubicles,
the steps to follow are similar to those proposed in the paragraphs above, except for the first
step. The fuse rating required to protect the transformer is determined according to the fuse
table of Ormazabal’s documents IG-034 and IG-136 respectively. Please take into
consideration that the minimum protection powers are listed in the table above.
In case of protecting a transformer with following characteristics in CGMCOSMOS cubicle
system:
S = 1250 kVA, Un =15 kV and Uk = 5%
Follow the procedure below for proper coordination between the fuses and the protection
relay:
 Fuse selection according to IG-078. 10/24 kV 125 A fuse
 Rated current. In = S/3 x Un = 1250 kVA/3 x 15 kV  48 A
 Continuous withstand overload 20%. In x I> = 48 A x 1.2  58 A
 Extremely Inverse Curve type. E.I.
 Transitory overload factor. K =0.2
 Short-circuit level. In x I> x I>> = 48 A x 1.2 x 7  404 A
 Instantaneous time delay T>> = 0,4 s
 Secondary short-circuit. Ics = In x 100/ Uk = 48 A x 100 / 5  960 A

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR

PROTECTION, METERING AND CONTROL UNITS
Figure 7.1: Example for SIBA SSK fuse
The earth unit setting depends on the characteristics of the line where the unit is installed. In
general, the earth fault values are high enough to be detected as overcurrent. Even in
isolated or resonant earthed neutral networks, the fault value in transformer protection
installations is clearly different from the capacitive currents of the lines. This way, the
transformer protection ekorRPT units are used in isolated neutral networks that do not
require the directional function. The values of the setting parameters must guarantee
selectivity with the main switch protections. Given the variety of protection criteria and types
of neutral used in the networks, it does not exist a single parameterisation; each case
requires a specific parameterisation. For transformers up to 2000 kVA, the settings below are
given as a general example. It must be ensured that they properly apply to the protections
upstream (general, line or main switch protections, among others.)

7.3.3. Installation in a Cubicle
The integral parts of the ekorRPT units are the electronic relay, the power supply and test
board, the bistable trigger and the current sensors.
The electronic relay is fixed to the cubicle driving mechanism using anchors. The front of the
equipment, which contains the components of the user interface, display, keys,
communication ports, etc., is accessible from the outside without the need to remove the
mechanism enclosure. The rear contains the X1 and X2 connectors, as well as the wiring
that connects it to the power supply board.

All of the signals that come from the relay go through the board. Hence, the board enables
the unit to be checked. Furthermore, there is a volt-free contact (J3) which is activated
simultaneously with the relay trip. This enables to use conventional current injection
equipment for testing the protection relays.
The selfpowered transformers are also connected to the power supply board using the J7
connector in the selfpowered relays. The signal transformers are connected to the board's J8
connector, the function being to inject current into the secondary in order to test the relay.
The ekorRPT protection, metering and control unit has three connectors (J1, J3 and J4) to
which the user can connect. They are situated on the upper part of the power supply and test
board and their functions are as follows:

7.3.5. Installation of Toroidal-core current transformers
The installation of toroidal-core current transformers requires special attention. It is the main
cause of untimely tripping problems, and its improper operation can cause trips that go
undetected during commissioning. Aspects that must be considered in the installation:
 The toroidal-core current transformers are installed on the outgoing cables of the
cubicle. The inner diameter is 82 mm, which means that MV cables can easily pass
through the inside.
 The earthing screen MUST go through the
toroidal-core current transformer when it
comes out of the part of cable remaining
above the toroidal-core current transformer.
In this case, the braided pair goes through
the inside of the toroidal-core current
transformer before it is connected to the
earthing of the cubicle. The braided pair must
not touch any metal part, such as the cable
support or other areas of the cable
compartment, before it is connected to the
cubicle's earth.
Earth screen: it must pass through
the inside of the toroidal-core
 The earthing screen must NOT go through the toroidal-core current transformer when
it comes out of the part of cable remaining under the toroidal-core current transformer.
In this case, the braided pair is connected directly to the earthing collector of the
cubicle. If there is no braided pair for the earthing screen because it is connected at the
other end (as in metering cubicles), the twisted pair should also not go through the
toroidal-core current transformer.
7.3.6. Checking and Maintenance
The ekorRPT protection, metering and control unit is designed to perform the operating test
necessary for both commissioning and regular maintenance checks. Several levels of checks
are available depending on the possibility of interrupting service and accessing the MV
cubicle cable compartment.
 Check through the primary: This case corresponds to the tests that are performed on
the equipment when it is completely shut down, since it involves actuating the switchdisconnector and earthing the cubicle outgoing cables. When current is injected
through the toroidal-core current transformers, you must check that the protection
opens the switch within the selected time. In addition, you must make sure that the
tripping indications are correct and that all the events are being recorded in the history
log.
CAUTION
To perform this check, the unit must be powered up. Hence more than 5 A must be
injected, or it must be connected to 230 Vac for self powered relays. As regards those
which have auxiliary power supply, feed the voltage through the board's J4 connector.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR

PROTECTION, METERING AND CONTROL UNITS
To perform this check, follow the steps indicated below:
-
Open the cubicle’s switch-disconnector and then earth the output.
Access the cable compartment and pass a test cable through the toroidal-core
current transformers.
Connect the test cable to the current circuit of the tester.
Connect the power supply board's J3 connector to the tester's timer stopper input.
Open the earthing switch and close the switch. Reset the latch and remove the
actuating lever in order to leave the cubicle ready for tripping.
Inject the test currents and verify the tripping times are correct. Check that the
trips are correctly displayed.
For phase trips, the test cable must pass through two toroidal-core current transformers.
The cable must pass through each of them in opposite direction; in other words, if in the
first one current flows up bottom, in the other it must flow bottom up so that the sum of
the two currents equals zero and no earth trip occur.
For earth trips, the test cable is passed through a single toroidal-core current transformer
(zero-sequence or phase toroidal, depending on whether a zero-sequence toroidal is
available or not). Trip tests must be performed for all toroidal-core current transformers
to check the proper operation of the complete unit.
 Check through the secondary. In this case, the tests are performed on the equipment
when the cable compartment is not accessible. This occurs because the cubicle
outgoing cables are energised and cannot be connected to earth. In this case, it is not
possible to feed a test cable through the toroidal transformers and current must be
injected from the power supply board. This testing method is much better than using
testing equipment (normally more than 100 A).
To perform this check, follow the steps indicated below:
-
Page 40 of 84
Access the control's upper compartment where the power supply board is located.
Disconnect the bistable trigger.
Disconnect the blue, brown, black and earth cables of the J8 connector,
corresponding to points J8-6, J8-8, J8-10 and J8-1 respectively.
Connect the previously disconnected cables to the earth points N of connector J83. This operation will short-circuit the current transformers' secondary circuitry.

Connect the power supply to the J4 connector: 230 Vac for selfpowered units and
24 to 125 Vdc or 24 to 110 Vac for auxiliary power supply units.
Connect the test cable to the J8 connector, bearing in mind the following ratio
between the connector's points and the phases:
Current through L1 – J8-6 and J8-1.
Current through L2 – J8-8 and J8-1.
Current through L3 – J8-10 and J8-1.
Current through L1 and L2 (without earthing current) - J8-6 and J8-8.
Current through L1 and L3 (without earthing current) - J8-6 and J8-10.
Current through L2 and L3 (without earthing current) - J8-8 and J8-10.
Connect the test cable to the current circuit of the tester.
Connect the power supply board's J3 connector to the tester's timer stopper input.
If the switch can be opened, put it in closed position. Reset the latch and remove
the actuating lever in order to leave the cubicle ready for tripping and connect the
bistable trigger. If the switch cannot be operated, the bistable trigger should
remain disconnected and the checking process should be performed as shown in
next section: “Check without switch operation”.
Inject the secondary test currents taking into account that the transformation ratio
is 300/1 A. Check that the trip times are correct. Check that the trips are correctly
displayed.
NOTE
It is advisable to perform the CHECK THROUGH THE PRIMARY or the CHECK
THROUGH THE SECONDARY annually to guarantee correct equipment operation.
 Check without operating the switch. In many occasions, the protection cubicle
switch cannot be operated and therefore, the maintenance checks are performed
exclusively on the electronic unit. In these cases, the following points shall be
considered:
- Always disconnect the bistable trigger. This way, the relay can trip without acting
upon the opening mechanism.
- Inject the current according to the section above "Check through the secondary".
- The toroidal-core current transformers can be verified if the approximate
consumption is known. The current that circulates through the secondary J8-6
(blue), J8-8 (brown) and J8-10 (black) must correspond to the 300/1 A ratio.
- As regards selfpowered relays, check that the selfpowered transformers provide
the operating power needed by the relay, if the primary current is greater than 5 A.
To do this, check that the voltage in connector J7 (between points 1- blue and 2brown) is greater than 10 Vdc.

7.4.1. Functional description
The ekorRPG unit is used for the general protection of lines, private installations,
transformers, etc. It is installed in circuit-breaker cubicles - models CGMCOSMOS-V,
CGM-CMP-V and/or CGM.3-V - so that the electronic unit performs all the protection
functions.
When an overcurrent that is within the relay operational value range is detected, this relay
acts upon a low power bistable trigger that opens the circuit-breaker.

For CGM-CGC and CGM.3 system cubicles
Selection process for the ekorRPG unit protection parameters in CGMCOSMOS-V, CGMCMP-V and CGM.3-V cubicles:
1. Determine the system power to be protected and select the ekorRPG model in
accordance with the table above.
2. Calculate the rated current In = S/3xUn.
3. Define the continuous overload level I>. Normal values in transformers of up to 2000 kVA
are 20% for distribution installations and 5% for power generation installations.
4. Select the transitory overload curve. Coordination between relay curves and LV fuses is
performed with the EI type curve.
5. Define the delay time in transitory overload K. This parameter is defined by the
transformer’s thermal constant. This way, the greater the constant, the longer it takes for
the transformer’s temperature to increase under an overload condition; and therefore, the
protection trigger can be delayed longer. The normal value for distribution transformers is
K = 0.2, which means that it trips in 2 s if the overload is 300% in the EI curve.
6. Short-circuit level I>>. The maximum value of the transformer’s magnetisation current
must be determined. The current peak produced when a no-load transformer is
connected, due to the effect of a magnetised nucleus, is several times greater than the
rated current. This peak value, up to 12 times the rated value (10 times for more than
1000 kVA) has a very high harmonic content, so its fundamental 50 Hz component is
much less. So, a normal setting value for this parameter is between 7 and 10. In the case
of general protections for several transformers, this value can be lower.
7. Instantaneous time delay T>>. This value corresponds with the protection trip time in the
event a short-circuit occurs. It depends on the coordination with other protections and the
normal values are between 0.1 and 0.5 s.

In the case of a general protection for two transformers, 1000 kVA each:
S = 2000 kVA, Un =15 kV
The steps to follow for proper setting of the protection relay are the following:
 Rated current. In = S / 3 x Un = 2000 kVA / 3 x 15 kV  77 A
 Continuous withstand overload 20%. In x I> = 77 A x 1.2  92 A
 Extremely Inverse Curve type. E.I.
 Transitory overload factor. K =0.2
 Short-circuit level. In x I> x I>> = 77 A x 1.2 x 10  924 A
 Instantaneous time delay T>> = 0.1 s
The earth unit setting depends on the characteristics of the network where the equipment is
installed. In general, the earth fault values are high enough to be detected as overcurrent. In
the isolated or resonant earthed neutral networks, when the fault value is very low, in other
words, when the earth protection is set to a value below 10% of the rated phase
current, it is recommended that an ultrasensitive earth protection be used.
The values of the setting parameters must guarantee selectivity with the main switch
protections. Given the variety of protection criteria and types of neutral used in the networks,
it does not exist a single parameterisation; each case requires a specific parameterisation.
For transformers up to 2000 kVA, the settings below are given as a general example. It must
be ensured that they properly apply to the protections upstream (general, line or main switch
protections, among others.)

7.4.3. Installation in a Cubicle
The integral parts of the ekorRPG units are the electronic relay, the power supply and test
board and flip-flop trigger and the current sensors.
The electronic relay is fixed to the cubicle driving mechanism using anchors. The front of the
equipment, which contains the components of the user interface, display, keys,
communication ports, etc., is accessible from the outside without the need to remove the
driving mechanism enclosure. The rear contains the X1 and X2 connectors (see section §
7.4.4) as well as the wiring that connects it to the power supply board. The signals that are
operational for the user are located on a terminal block that can be short-circuited and
accessed from the upper part of the cubicle. Furthermore, there is a volt-free contact (G3G4) which is simultaneously activated with the relay trip. This enables to use conventional
current injection equipment for testing the protection relays.
The functionality of the terminal block G for connecting the user is described below.

7.4.6. Checking and Maintenance
The ekorRPG protection, metering and control unit is designed to perform the operating test
necessary for both commissioning and regular maintenance checks. Several levels of checks
are available depending on the possibility of interrupting service and accessing the MV
cubicle cable compartment.
 Check through the primary: In this case the tests are performed on the equipment
when it is completely shut down, since it involves actuating the circuit-breaker and
earthing the cubicle outgoing cables. When current is injected through the toroidal-core
current transformers, you must check that the protection opens the circuit-breaker
within the selected time. In addition, you must make sure that the tripping indications
are correct and that all the events are being recorded in the history log.
CAUTION
To perform this check, the unit must be powered up. Hence more than 5 A must be
injected, or it must be connected to 230 Vac for selfpowered relays. As regards those
which have auxiliary power supply, feed the voltage through the board's J4 connector.
To perform this check, follow the steps indicated below:
-
Open the cubicle’s circuit-breaker. Close the earthing switch and then close the
circuit-breaker for an effective earthing.
Access the cable compartment and connect the test cable to the test connector
of the toroidal-core current transformers.
Connect the test cable to the current circuit of the tester.
Connect terminals G3-G4 to the tester's timer stopper input.
Open the circuit-breaker. Open the earthing switch and then close the circuitbreaker. To open the circuit-breaker using the protection unit, the earthing switch
must be open.
Inject the test currents and verify the tripping times are correct. Check that the
trips are correctly displayed.
In order to detect phase trips, the test cable must be connected to the test bars of two
toroidal-core current transformers. The current must go through each one in opposite
directions. In other words, if the current flows up bottom in one of the test cables, in the
other it must flow bottom up so that the sum of the two currents is zero and no earth fault
trips occur.
For earth trips, the test cable is connected to a single toroidal-core current transformer
(zero-sequence or phase toroidal transformer, depending on whether a zero-sequence
toroidal is available or not). Trip tests must be performed for all toroidal-core current
transformers to check the proper operation of the complete unit.

- Disconnect the bistable trigger.
- Short-circuit, and then disconnect current circuit terminals G7, G8, G9, G10, G11
and G12. This procedure short-circuits the current transformer secondaries.
- Connect the power supply to the G1-G2 connector: 230 Vac for selfpowered units
and 24 to 125Vdc or 24 to 110 Vac for auxiliary power supply units.
- Connect the test cable to terminals G7 to G12, taking into account the following
relation between the connector's points and the phases.
Current through L1 – G7 and G12.
Current through L2 – G8 and G12.
Current through L3 – G9 and G12.
Current through L1 and L2 (without earthing current) - G7 and G8.
Current through L1 and L3 (without earthing current) - G7 and G9.
Current through L2 and L3 (without earthing current) - G8 and G9.
- Connect the test cable to the current circuit of the tester.
- Connect the G3-G4 connector to the tester's timer stopper input.
- If the circuit-breaker can be opened, put it in closed position. If the circuit-breaker
cannot be operated, make sure the bistable trigger remains disconnected, and
start the check as explained in the following section "Check without circuit-breaker
operation".
- Inject the secondary test currents taking into account that the transformation ratio
is 300/1 A or 1000/1 A, depending on the model. Verify the tripping times are
correct. Check that the trips are correctly displayed.

1000/1 A.
As regards selfpowered relays, check that the selfpowered transformers provide
the operating power needed by the relay, if the primary current is greater than 5 A.
To do this, check that the voltage in connector J7 (between points 1- blue and 2brown) is greater than 10 Vdc.

8. SETTING AND HANDLING MENUS
8.1. KEYPAD AND ALPHANUMERIC DISPLAY
As can be seen in the image, the ekorRP protection, metering and control units have a total
of 6 keys:
SET: gives access to the ‘Parameter Setting’ mode. In addition, the key has a
confirmation function within the various menus of the 'Parameter Setting' mode.
This function is explained in greater detail in this section.
ESC: This key allows the user to return to the main screen ('Display') from any
screen without saving changes made to the settings up to this point. Using this
key, the unit's trip indications can be reset.
Scrolling keys: The ‛Up’ and ‛Down’ arrows enable the user to scroll through
the different menus and change values. The 'Right' and 'Left' arrows allow
values in the 'Parameter Setting' menu to be selected for modification, as
detailed later.
Along with the keypad, the relays have an alphanumeric display which makes it easier to use
them. To save energy, the relay has a standby mode (display switched off), which starts to
operate any time the relay does not receive an external signal for 1 minute (pressing of any
key, except the SET key, or communication via RS-232), or for 2 minutes if the user is
modifying the parameters in the ‘Parameter Setting’ mode. Likewise, if either type of external
signal is received (pressing of the ESC, arrow up, down, left or right keys; or communication
via RS-232) the relay will exit the standby mode and return to its active status, as long as the
relay remains powered.
Page 51 of 84
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR
ekorRP
PROTECTION, METERING AND CONTROL UNITS
8.2. DISPLAY
The 'Display' mode is the normal mode of the relay when in
operation. Its main function is to allow the user to view various unit
parameters which can be summarised in 4 groups:
 Current metering
 Viewing the setting values
 Values of the last and penultimate trip
 Current date and time
The ‛Display’ mode is shown by default in the relay, both when it is
switched on and when it returns from its standby status, or when pressing the ESC key from
any screen. In this operating mode, the ‛Up’ and ‛Down’ keys are enabled so that the user
can scroll through the various parameters in the ‛Display’ mode. The SET key gives access
to the ‛Parameter Setting’ mode.
The following figure shows an example of several 'Display' mode screens for the
ekorRPunits.
The screens shown in the relay display consist of two data lines. The first indicates the
parameter for the specific screen; the second establishes the value of this parameter.
Additionally, error codes can be indicated in both the display screen and the two data lines
(refer to section 8.5: “Error codes”). These indications are displayed with the other
indications.
A table with the “Display” mode parameters sequence is shown below. This table includes
the text that appears on the first line of the relay display, along with an explanation of the
corresponding parameter.

8.3. PARAMETER SETTING
The 'Parameter Setting' menu can be accessed from any screen of the 'Display' menu by
pressing the SET key. The protection remains operational with the initial parameters, until the
user returns to the ‘Display’ menu by pressing on the SET key again.
As a precautionary measure, the ‛Parameter Setting’ menu is protected by a password,
which is entered each time the user wishes to access this menu. By default, all of the
ekorRP units have the password 0000. This password can be modified by the user as
explained further on.
This menu allows the user to make changes to various relay parameters.
These parameters can be grouped as follows:
 Parameters for the protection and detection functions
 Date and time
 Communication parameters
 Information on the number of trips
 Password change
When the relay is in the 'Parameter Setting’ menu, the indication SET on
the lower middle section of the relay screen allows the user to identify the
menu quickly.
8.3.1. Protection parameters
The ekorRP units include two methods for selecting the setting parameters. manual and
automatic.
The manual method consists of entering each protection parameter one by one.
On the other hand, the automatic method makes the parameter entry easier and quicker for
the user. In this method, the user simply enters 2 pieces of data: Installation transformer
power (Pt), and line voltage (Tr). From these 2 pieces of data, the relay sets the parameters
according to:
In 
Pt
(Tr  3 )
The selected full load current value is achieved by always rounding up the value.

* For protection using the ekorRPT-101, 201 or 301 models with 5-100 A range toruses, the short-circuit factor
is 7 and the instantaneous tripping time is 0.4.
8.3.2. Parameter Setting Menu
When accessing the ‘Parameter Setting’
menu through the SET key, the relay
requests a password. The settings
introduction area is accessed once it is
verified that the password is correct. At this
moment, manual configuration (CONF PAR)
or automatic configuration (CONF TRAF)
must be selected. You can change from one
to the other using the ‘right’ and ‘left’ keys.
Press the SET key to select the desired
option. The diagram on the right graphically
explains this process.
Once inside any of the two settings entry
areas, the user can move from one
parameter to another using the ‘up’ and
‘down’ keys, the same as in the ‘Display’ mode. Press the ESC or SET key to exit this menu
and access the ‘Display’ menu. The ESC key will disregard all setting changes made
previously, whereas the SET key will save all data before continuing.

To change a setting, proceed as follows:
1. Display the setting to be changed on the screen.
2. Press the ‘Left’ or ‘Right’ keys. The data will start to flash.
3. Adjust the value required with the 'Up' and 'Down' keys. If the setting
is numeric, the blinking number can be changed with the 'Left' or
'Right' keys.
4. To exit, press SET (save and exit), or ESC (clear changes and exit).
The password can be modified by first entering the
current password. The process is explained graphically in
the diagram on the right. As shown in this diagram,
password modification consists of four steps.
The two following tables show the protection parameters
in the ‘Parameter Setting’ menu, along with an
explanation of each of them and the values they can
have. This information is shown for each of the two
setting modes: manual or automatic.

8.4. TRIP RECOGNITION
Whenever a trip occurs, the relay immediately accesses the
'Trip recognition" menu. This menu can be easily identified
because a blinking arrow is located on the upper part of the
display, just below the name of the function that has caused
the trip. The ekorRP units signal five possible trip causes
using the upper arrow.
 Phase time-delayed trip
I>
 Phase instantaneous trip
I>>
 Earth time-delayed trip I 0>
 Earth instantaneous trip
I 0>>
 External trip
Ext
To quit the ‘Trip recognition’ menu, press the ESC key from any of the menu screens. The
relay recognises that the user has checked the trip and then returns to the first screen of the
‘Display’ menu. In any case, the trip data will continue to be available to the user from the
‘Display’ menu until two new trips have occurred.
The various screens of the of 'Trip Recognition' menu provide two types of information. The
initial screen shows the current detected at the tripping moment, by phase or earth
depending on the tripped unit. Subsequent ‘Trip Recognition’ screens display the date and
time of the trip, along with the time elapsed from the unit start up to the trip.
The following table shows the sequence in which the data appear. As in the rest of the
menus, the 'Up' and 'Down' keys are used to scroll throughout the various data.

9. MODBUS PROTOCOL FOR ekorRP RANGE UNITS
The two communication ports of the relay use the same protocol: MODBUS in RTU
transmission mode (binary). The main advantage of this mode over the ASCII mode is that
the information is packed tighter, allowing a higher data transmission rate at the same
communication speed. Each message must be transmitted as a continuous string, as the
silences are used to detect the end of the message. The minimum duration of the SILENCE
is 3.5 characters.

The MODBUS ADDRESS of the relay (also called peripheral number) is a byte that takes
values between 0 and 31.
The master addresses the slave, indicating its address in the respective field and the slave
answers by indicating its own address. The '0' address is reserved for the 'broadcast' mode
so it can be recognised by all slaves.

9.2. Password-protected Register Writing
The parameters are protected against writing by the USER PASSWORD.
A write session of password-protected parameters starts by entering the PASSWORD in the
respective address. The write session ends with the update of registers once the respective
PASSWORD has been transmitted again. If the timeout period has elapsed, the process is
aborted and the system returns to normal mode. In normal mode, any attempt to write a
protected registration will result in an error code 2'. The write session is valid for only one
port (the one that entered the PASSWORD has priority).
9.3. CRC GENERATION
The cyclical redundancy check (CRC) field contains two bytes that are added to the end of
the message. The receiver must re-calculate it and compare it with the received value. Both
values must be equal.
The CRC is the remainder obtained when dividing the message by a binary polynomial. The
receiver must divide all bits received (information plus CRC) by the same polynomial used to
calculate the CRC. If the remainder obtained is 0, the information frame is deemed correct.
The polynomial used will be: X15+X13+1
