The PCS-921 numerical relay provides the protection
of circuit breakers with breaker failure protection, pole
discrepancy protection, dead zone protection, phase/
neutral overcurrent protection, single and/or three-pole
auto-reclosing and synchronism check functions. The PCS-
921 relay employs the programmable logic, configurable I/
O and definable 3-color LEDs to provide flexibility for the
specifc applications. Frequency tracking is used to minimize
the sampling error caused by system frequency fuctuation.
The PCS-921 relay adopts the advanced multi-processor
platform, providing the interfaces to station bus and process
bus respectively and supporting IEC 61850-8-1 MMS,
GOOSE, IEC 61850-9-2 Sampling Value. In addition, RJ-45
faceplate port for testing and setting to make commissioning
and maintenance easier.
PCS-921
Circuit Breaker Protection
Functions
Protection and Control
Breaker failure protection (50BF)
Re-tripping the own breaker and tripping the adjacent
breakers will be issued if the external tripping command is
received but the overcurrent element does not drop off. To
improve the sensitivity of generator/transformer protection,
the neutral and negative-sequence overcurrent elements are
provided besides phase overcurrent element.
Pole discrepancy protection (62PD)
The pole discrepancy is detected using the breaker auxiliary
contacts, and the asymmetrical current element could be
selected as an additional criteria.
Dead zone protection (50DZ)
The adjacent breakers will be tripped if the fault between CT
and breaker (dead zone) is detected via the initiating binary
input from external protection, breaker auxiliary contacts and
overcurrent element.
Two stages of phase overcurrent protection (50/51P)
Second harmonic element could be selected to block the
overcurrent element to avoid the maloperation due to
transformer inrush current.
Two stages of neutral overcurrent protection (50/51N)
Second harmonic element could be selected to block the
neutral overcurrent element.
Synchronism check (25)
The criteria could be set as frequency difference, voltage
difference, and phase angle difference. And the checking
condition could be selected as live-bus to dead-line, dead-
bus to live-line or dead-bus to dead-line.
Single and/or three-pole auto-reclosing (79)
Up to 4 shots could be selected for the single-/three- pole
auto-reclosing.
Voltage and current drift auto adjustment
The relay continually and automatically traces the voltage
and current drifts and adjusts the zero point.
Frequency tracking
Frequency tracki ng i s provi ded to accommodate the
frequency shift in power system.

One faceplate RJ45 port for testing and setting
Clock synchronization via Pulse-Per-Second, IRIG-B and
SNTP
Features
The relay is based on NRs well established and proven
UAPC hardware platform with multi-processor architecture.
The multi CPU technology supports parallel operating
simultaneously.
The two independent data acquisition paths can prevent any
undesired trip caused by component failure. One works as a
fault detector and the other is designed for protection and its
logic. Tripping outputs are supervised by the fault detector to
prevent a mal-operation.
The sensitive DPFC fault detector element is integrated to
target on the quick response to short-circuit fault.
The relay is compatible with IEC 61850-8-1 MMS, GOOSE
and IEC 61850-9-2 Sampling Value and provides the
independent interfaces for station bus and process bus
respectively.
