CPR -1 – Capacitor-Bank Protection-Relay

Section 1: Overview

CPR-1 Capacitor Bank protection device has been designed to protect the capacitors from
overload, over voltage and unbalance with the advanced and flexible microprocessor technology.

A wide range of protection elements are supplemented by advanced features such as control,
metering, data storage, remote communications, supervision and self monitoring features.

An HMI LCD display on the front of the device gives user-friendly access to read the
measurements, view and edit relay settings and operational annunciations. The backlit provides a
good visibility even in the poor room illumination. Four context soft keys facilitate easy and flexible
parameterisation through LCD display without the need of manual.

An interface is provided at the rear side of the device for remote communications via RS485 with
MODBUS protocol.

CPR -1 – Capacitor-Bank Protection-Relay

Section 2: Protection Function and Other Features

2.1 Introduction

CPR-1 device accepts 4 current inputs and 3 voltage inputs.

A full range “Fast Fourier Transformation” is performed on the input data of all channels (3 Voltage
channels, 4 Current channels). Thus provides information about the harmonic contents which
distort the sine waveform of the current and voltage channels.

Current inputs are available with two options either 1A input or 5A input.

Current IL1IL2IL3 inputs used to achieve overload protection, while IUB achieves unbalance
protection. Current measurements are derived from these inputs.

Voltage VL1VL2VL3 inputs used to achieve over voltage and under voltage protection. Voltage
measurements are derived from these inputs.

2.2 Protection Elements

2.2.1 Overload and Unbalance protection

Current IL1IL2IL3 and IUB elements provide Overload and Unbalance protection respectively. Each
element can be programmed to have two independent stages for current setting and DTL (definite
time lag) characteristic as described in section 3.

Samples of the current input signals are taken at a frequency of 12.8 kHz. This enables CPR-1 to
act as a True RMS measuring device (TRMS) over a wide frequency range.

CPR -1 – Capacitor-Bank Protection-Relay

2.2.2 Overvoltage and Undervoltage Protection

Voltage VL1VL2VL3 elements provide Over-voltage and Under-voltage. Each element can be
programmed to have two independent stages for current setting and DTL (definite time lag)
characteristic as described in section 3.

Samples of the voltage input signals are taken at a frequency of 12.8 kHz. This enables CPR-1 to
act as a True RMS measuring device (TRMS) over a wide frequency range.

2.2.3 Output contacts

CPR-1 relays are available with two types of output contacts

- two change over contacts

- four normally open contacts

Output contacts are user programmable to operate from protection characteristic, DTL for different
protection functions and relay self-monitoring feature (watchdog). These output contacts are shown
in de-energized state in the drawing under section 4.

Under normal mode of operation, output contacts remain energized for at least 100ms or for the
duration of fault detected by the protection function. Alternatively, outputs can be programmed to
operate as latching contacts, if required. It is also possible to invert the operation of the output
contacts.

2.3 Other features

2.3.1 Natural unbalance compensation

The CPR-1 contains the function "natural unbalance compensation". This function allows to
measure and store the natural unbalance current (Inuc) at the protected capacitor banks. The value
of the natural unbalance current depends on production tolerances. During the normal operation
the CPR-1 subtracts the stored Inuc value from the current In. The result of this operation should be
"0". In case of variations of this result it is possible to set a limit between 0.01A and 50kA to trigger
an alarm.

2.3.2 Metering functions

The CPR-1 metering features provide continuous measurement of Currents and Voltages which
are connected as analogue inputs. The signal processor calculates different values from these
inputs.

VLine to Neutral TRMS Voltages VL1-N, VL2-N, VL3-N

VLine to Line TRMS Voltages VL1-L2, VL2-L3, VL3-L1

I TRMS Current IL1, IL2, IL3, IUB

If RMS values of fundamental waves of currents (without harmonics)

Harmonics Order of (2-63) for current and voltages

THD THD – factors for voltages (VLine to Neutral) and all 4 currents

Ith exponentially damped current values to simulate thermal

measurement

T ambient temperature

CPR -1 – Capacitor-Bank Protection-Relay

2.3.3 Alarm system

The CPR-1 allows the programming of the output relays to produce alarms or trips. The alarm or
trip system works with two separate facilities:

• The output relays can be programmed separately. Each relay implements an inversion feature
as well as a hold state in which the user must manually reset the relay after activating alarm or
trip has become inactive again. The relays receive signals to “activate themselves” from one or
more of the 32 configurable alarms. Depending on its inversion setting, the relay closes or
opens on activation.

• A maximum of 32 alarms or trips can be assigned. Each of them continuously compares a

value to an assigned limit. If a selectable alarm or trip condition is true (value>limit or
value<limit), a delay timer is started. After the selected delay time is over, the alarm or trip
sends the activation signals to all output relays, which are programmed as “targets” for this
alarm or trip. A second, configurable timeout delay can be set for the time between the reset of
the alarm condition and the transmission of the deactivation signals to the output relays. A
graphical display message can be used to show the alarms in the LCD of the device. This
message can be programmed either with manually or automatically reset. The alarm display
message is treated as if it was another output relay (so it can simply be selected as target for
an alarm).

The high flexibility of this alarm system is achieved due to the following points:

1. One alarm or trip can cause the activation of one or more output relays.

2. One relay can be activated from more than one alarm or trip. If two or more alarms use the
same relay as output, a logical OR condition is used: one active alarm or trip suffices to cause
the relay to switch.

CPR -1 – Capacitor-Bank Protection-Relay

Both, relays and alarms, are invertible in their function.

2.3.4 Usage

The device provides 4 keys to the user to accept any inputs. The keys are numbered key 1... key 4
from left to right. The actual function of a certain key changes due to the actual context. The keys
function is indicated by small pictograms in the bottom line of the display.

After turning on the supply power, the CPR-1 automatically starts with displaying values of the
measurement menu. The key, which is labelled with capital letters „M“ can be used to switch to the
main menu.

2.3.4.1 Main menu

In the main menu, one can choose between the following possibilities:

• measurement = display measured values

• harmonics = display harmonics

• setup = device setup sub-menu

• device info = display device information

• reset alarms = reset all relays, configured with “manual reset”

Use the keys „↑“ and „↓“ to place the desired entry next to the tiny arrow („>“) on the left side.
Press the „→“ - key to activate the selected entry.

CPR -1 – Capacitor-Bank Protection-Relay

Whenever a capital “M” is used as key symbol in any sub-menu, pressing the key

! will switch straight to the main menu.

2.3.4.2 Menu “measurement”

This menu holds nearly all the measured values. Each value is displayed together with its name
(VLN, Ith,... ) and its origin (L1, L2, L3, N). The units of the measured values are also displayed.
Use keys „↑“ and „↓“ to select from the variety of measured values.

In the top line the actual state of the assembled relays is shown with the backlit on each number. A
dark number on bright ground represents an inactive relay. Inverse display (bright number on dark
ground) indicates an activated relay.

The „M“ - key switches back to the main menu.

2.3.4.3 Menu “harmonics”

All harmonics are normalized to 100% of the fundamental harmonic. Key “↔“ selects the data
source (voltages, currents), “↑“ and “↓“ move the display to higher and lower harmonics. The
index, which is shown with each harmonic, specifies its order. The fundamental harmonic (index
01) is not shown as it is always 100%.

Technical Documentation: Rev.: 07

CPR -1 – Capacitor-Bank Protection-Relay

If the harmonic display quotes “not available”, the current or voltage, which

! sources the harmonic calculation is below a certain limit or even not present.
This makes the FFT calculation of the harmonics very inaccurate or impossible.

2.3.4.4 Menu “setup”

The „setup“-menu is protected from unauthorised usage by means of a password. The password is
fixed („0000“). Because of the huge amount of setup possibilities, a set of submenus is used.

At certain points the user will be confronted with the need to enter numeric values. The CPR-1 will
prompt with the old or a default value. One digit of this value will be marked with a “-“ below it. Now
this digit can be changed with the „+“ and „-“ keys. „→“ will switch to the next digit which can then
be altered as described. After you have reached the last digit, press the right button once more and
the new value will be used by the device.

2.3.4.7 Menu “setup->relay”

Setup for the relays:

• „normally open ↔ normally closed“ - this selects the relay inversion. If one chooses „normally
open“, the relay will be open in inactive state and it will close on activation. “normally closed”
inverts this behaviour.

• „automatic reset ↔ manual reset“ - If a relay is set to “manual reset”, it will stay activated once
it has been triggered by an alarm or trip, even if the alarm or trip is inactive again (hold state). If
“automatic reset” is used, the relay will fall back to inactive state automatically once the
activating alarms or trips have become inactive again.

Section 6: Commissioning Guide

6.1 Test

Before putting the CPR-1 in normal service the device should be tested for the correct function.
This will be done at site by using a secondary injection test kit. After keeping the required current,
on delay time and output relays for example the relay should be checked. This is also applicable
for the voltage setting.

6.2 Installation

The CPR-1 device is packed in a separate carton inside an outer packaging. Open the carton
carefully and unpack the device. Also remove the manual included inside the carton. After
unpacking the device make a visual inspection to confirm the CPR-1 is all right.

Check that the measurement voltage, supply voltage and current transformer ratings comply with
the ratings given on the back of the device.

6.3 Connection

The dimensions of the case and the necessary cut-out in the control panel are given in the manual.
Mount the device in the control panel by means of the two mounting clamps included in the carton.

The screw type terminal blocks to connect the CPR-1 device are mounted on the left and right side
on the back. The optional connection for the Modbus via RS485 is also mounted on the back.

The case of the CPR-1 must be grounded to meet protective equipment

! grounding requirements. This ground connection is an absolute requirement for

a proper operation.
