7.2.5 NEGATIVE SEQUENCE CURRENT ACCURACY
The 489 measures negative sequence current as a percent of Full Load Amperes (FLA). A sample calculation of negative
sequence current is shown below. Given the following generator parameters:
Rated MVA (
P
A
) = 1.04
Voltage Phase to Phase (
V
pp
): 600 V
we have:
With the following output currents:
The negative-sequence current Ins is calculated as:
Therefore, the negative sequence current is 14% of FLA. The specification for negative sequence current accuracy is per
output current inputs. Perform the steps below to verify accuracy.
1. Alter the following setpoints:
S2 SYSTEM SETUP\GENERATOR PARAMETER\GENERATOR RATED MVA:
1.04
S2 SYSTEM SETUP\GENERATOR PARAMETER\VOLTAGE PHASE-PHASE:
600
(Note: This is equivalent to setting FLA = 1000 A – For testing purposes ONLY!)
S2 SYSTEM SETUP\CURRENT SENSING\PHASE CT PRIMARY:
1000A
2. Inject the values shown in the table below and verify accuracy of the measured values. View the measured values in:
