GE Multilin F60 Feeder Protection System 2-12 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 2.1 INTRODUCTION22 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 2.1INTRODUCTION 2.1.1 OVERVIEWThe F60 Feeder Protection System is a microprocessor based relay designed for feeder protection.Overvoltage and undervoltage protection, overfrequency and underfrequency protection, breaker failure protection, direc-tional current supervision, fault diagnostics, RTU, and programmable logic functions are provided. This relay also providesphase, neutral, ground and negative sequence, instantaneous and time overcurrent protection. The time overcurrent func-tion provides multiple curve shapes or FlexCurves™ for optimum co-ordination. Automatic reclosing, synchrocheck, andline fault locator features are also provided. When equipped with a type 8Z CT/VT module, an element for detecting highimpedance faults is provided.Voltage, current, and power metering is built into the relay as a standard feature. Current parameters are available as totalwaveform RMS magnitude, or as fundamental frequency only RMS magnitude and angle (phasor).Diagnostic features include a sequence of records capable of storing 1024 time-tagged events. The internal clock used fortime-tagging can be synchronized with an IRIG-B signal or via the SNTP protocol over the Ethernet port. This precise timestamping allows the sequence of events to be determined throughout the system. Events can also be programmed (viaFlexLogic™ equations) to trigger oscillography data capture which may be set to record the measured parameters beforeand after the event for viewing on a personal computer (PC). These tools significantly reduce troubleshooting time and sim-plify report generation in the event of a system fault.A faceplate RS232 port may be used to connect to a PC for the programming of settings and the monitoring of actual val-ues. A variety of communications modules are available. Two rear RS485 ports allow independent access by operating andengineering staff. All serial ports use the Modbus ® RTU protocol. The RS485 ports may be connected to system computerswith baud rates up to 115.2 kbps. The RS232 port has a fixed baud rate of 19.2 kbps. Optional communications modulesinclude a 10Base-F Ethernet interface which can be used to provide fast, reliable communications in noisy environments.Another option provides two 10Base-F fiber optic ports for redundancy. The Ethernet port supports IEC 61850, Modbus ® /TCP, and TFTP protocols, and allows access to the relay via any standard web browser (F60 web pages). The IEC 60870-5-104 protocol is supported on the Ethernet port. DNP 3.0 and IEC 60870-5-104 cannot be enabled at the same time.The F60 IEDs use flash memory technology which allows field upgrading as new features are added.
