About This Standard

This document covers the Protection System requirements for the RailCorp High Voltage AC Network for 11kV, 33kV, 66kV and 132kV system voltages. The scope of this publication does not currently include specific requirements for the high voltage AC network at 2kV. This will be incorporated in a future revision of this specification. This document does not include protection requirements for the 1500V DC system. The Specific Protection Equipment Requirements (Section 5 and associated Appendix) are common requirements for the entire high voltage network. These protection requirements cover general design principles for protection schemes, as well as requirements relating specifically to the protection equipment. They do not include equipment used for detection and measurement of non-electrical protection parameters (such as oil and gas sudden pressure change, fibre optic temperature measurement), other than to specify necessary interface details. The correct design, implementation and management of the overall protection system are critical to the safe and reliable operation of the RailCorp power system. As such, all design processes for the protection system must follow the RailCorp Engineering Design Management Procedures. All new installations, modified and refurbished existing installations must comply with the requirements in this document. High voltage protection systems existing at the date of release of this document are not affected by the requirements of this document.

General Protection Philosophy General

In designing the protection schemes for RailCorps high voltage network, the following general principles shall be applied: All high voltage faults shall be detected and able to be cleared by two independent sets of protection (primary and backup). Either may be circuit breakers or fuses. The primary and backup protection schemes shall be independent. All HV circuit breakers shall be equipped with dual trip coils. Where primary and backup protection is installed in the same substation, that substation shall have two battery systems. Some substations are exempt from this requirement. This exemption is based on risk exposure considering safety, operational impact, economic and environmental considerations. The thermal limit current of the CTs shall not constrain the rating of associated power system elements. Primary protection shall be implemented using unit schemes wherever practical. The protection schemes shall be designed to eliminate or manage blind spots.
4.2
Protection Settings
The protection shall be set to operate at not more than 2/3 of the minimum phase to phase fault and not more than 2/3 of the minimum earth fault. The overcurrent protection settings shall, as far as practicable, be at least 1.5 times the maximum load current. Fault clearing times shall be minimised.
4.3
Grading
The protection shall be graded to ensure that the fault is cleared by the protection closest to the fault, and the area of interruption is minimised. A 0.3 second grading margin shall be provided for protection in series except that breaker fail timers shall be 0.2 second.

Specific Protection Equipment Requirements Protection Equipment Design Principles - All New HV Switchgear
To ensure the independence and integrity of protection schemes the following principles shall apply: Protection current transformers shall be connected to protection equipment only. Approved transducers used for interfacing with the SCADA are to be regarded as protection equipment. Appendix I lists approved transducers. Primary and backup protection schemes shall be implemented using separate relays. Where the primary and backup scheme trip the same HV circuit breaker, the following shall apply: The primary and backup schemes shall use separate trip coils, one trip coil for the primary scheme the second trip coil for the backup scheme. Refer to Appendix B for standard trip coil arrangements and Appendix N for typical HV switchboard arrangements. The backup scheme (protection relay, trip coil control and supply) shall have a separate auxiliary supply.
Where two DC auxiliary supplies are required (see clause 5.5) the primary protection scheme is to be supplied by battery A and the backup protection scheme supplied by battery B. SCADA monitored trip circuit supply supervision with local indication shall be provided for all tripping circuits. The auxiliary supply for each bus-zone protection scheme (protection and multi-trip relays) shall have its auxiliary supply from a dedicated circuit originating at the distribution board. Fuse protection and monitoring shall be provided with the monitoring relay connected to the SCADA system. Individual protection schemes to be connected to dedicated current transformers.

5.2.1
Interfacing New Protection Schemes With Existing Equipment

Multiple Use of Current Transformers It is acceptable to have more than one protection scheme (maximum two schemes) connected to the same set of CTs as long as the following applies: It is not economically feasible to install additional CTs (eg. Circuit breaker would have to be replaced; additional post type CTs would be required.) The protection schemes are not the primary and backup protection for the same equipment. A failure of the CTs will not result in a piece of equipment having no protection due to an existing compromise in the protection system. The output of the current transformers shall be sufficient for the burden of all the connected protection schemes and associated equipment to ensure each scheme operates as required up to the available fault level.
5.2.2
Trip Circuit Supervision Where a new protection scheme is interfacing with existing switchgear that does not have trip circuit supervision (TCS), TCS shall be implemented either as a function of the protection relay (if available) or installation of a dedicated TCS relay (refer Appendix A).
5.2.3
Breaker Fail When new protection relays that have breaker fail functionality are installed in an existing substation, the breaker fail detection shall result in the energising of a multi trip relay. The multi-trip relay shall trip all the associated ACCBs on the busbar.
5.2.4
Inter-trip If the breaker fail function is associated with a feeder that does not have a dedicated ACCB, then it is acceptable to implement an inter-trip by destabilising the pilot wire schemes of feeders that are a possible source of fault current. When destabilising the pilot wire schemes this must be implemented at the pilot wire relay.
5.3
5.3.1
Current Transformers (CT)

General Requirements All protection and metering CTs shall comply with AS 1675.

Version 3.4
RailCorp
Page 18 of 85
EP 19 00 00 02 SP
The CT shall be easily replaceable and shall be installed with polarity markings assuming supply from the bus in all cases. All secondary leads shall be terminated in individual links in the appropriate compartment where the CT is installed and the earth point formed by using a proprietary cross connection for the links being used. The CTs shall be earthed at one point. This single point earth is to be within the applicable LV compartment. CTs shall be rigidly clamped to prevent movement under short circuit conditions. They shall be provided with rating plates and terminal markings as specified in AS 1675. The rating plates shall be mounted in such a manner that they are visible, and the secondary terminals shall be readily accessible. Duplicate rating plates shall be mounted in the instrument compartment with connection diagram. The majority of existing CTs installed in the RailCorps system have a rated secondary current of 5A. With the installation of GIS switchgear, the reduced space available for CTs has resulted in the necessity to install CTs with a rated secondary current of 1A. CTs shall safely withstand the mechanical and thermal stresses set up by a short circuit equal to the full short circuit rating of the switchgear. CTs shall have a minimum thermal limit current at least 1.5 times rated current unless modified by the RFT for the specific location. See 6.1.5 for CT location requirements for 33 & 66kV Feeders. See 6.2.5 for CT location requirements for 11kV Feeders. See 6.3.4 for CT location requirements for HV Busbars and Bus-Ties. See 6.5.7 for CT location requirements for System Transformers. 5.3.2 Additional Requirements for CTs with a Rated Secondary Current of 1 Amp. If it is proposed to use CTs with a rated secondary current of 1A, then the following issues shall be complied with. Provision of a detailed design solution for the secondary wiring under system fault conditions. This design solution must address the voltage withstand ratings of all connected equipment as the secondary voltages developed are five times larger than if the CTs have the preferred value of 5A. A complete integrated system support analysis of using the non-standard protection equipment must be economically justified. See 5.10 Integrated Support System for details.

Multiple Ratio Current Transformers Where multiple ratio CTs are used, the links associated with changing the CT ratio shall be fit for purpose. The CT terminals shall be clearly marked to enable correct changing of the ratio. The associated rating plate shall also be marked with the information to enable correct changing of the ratio.
5.3.4
Protection Current Transformers Protection CT shall be of a class entirely suitable for the connected equipment so as to give correct operation under all service and fault conditions. The following composite error shall apply: Differential schemes 2.5% Overcurrent & earth fault 10%
The rated short-time is 3 seconds. The rated short time current shall have a minimum rating equal to the short time withstand current of the associated switchboard or circuit breaker. Appendix B has a table listing the typical ratio and designation of current transformers, which are preferred for use in the RailCorp electrical network. 5.3.5 Measurement Current Transformers Measurement CTs shall be of a class entirely suitable for the application as specified in AS 1675. As a general guide the following are typical class of accuracy used in the RailCorp network: 0.5M for general tariff metering such as supplies to shops, workshops etc. 2M for general measurement such as transducers and ammeters.
The measurement current transformers shall have the same ratio and thermal current limit as the associated protection CTs on the circuit. 5.3.6 Current Transformer Secondary Wiring All CT secondary wiring shall be provided with test links at the marshalling strip within the respective low voltage compartment. The test links shall be Weidmuller SAKC10. The wiring shall be connected to the associated protection relay (or meter) via a test block that allows isolation of the relay / metering and short-circuiting of the

current transformer secondary. If the relay test blocks are not integral with the relay enclosure, test blocks of the type Areva MMLG01 shall be provided. The test blocks shall be located adjacent to the respective protection relay. The current transformer secondary wiring shall be coloured as detailed below: A : red B : white C : blue Neutral : black
The wiring shall be a minimum size of 2.5mm2 and have an insulation rating of 0.6/1 kV. Where 2.5mm2 wiring is used it shall have a stranding of 50/0.25mm. All wiring connections to CTs and to protection relays shall be made using double grip ring type pre-insulated crimp lugs. Wiring identification shall be in accordance with AS2067. Refer to EP 00 00 00 15 SP Common Requirements for Electrical Power Equipment, for details of cable identification requirements.

Voltage Transformers
General Requirements Voltage transformers shall be provided for all three phases and can either be a 3 phase voltage transformer or 3 single phase voltage transformers. Voltage transformers shall be manufactured and tested in accordance with AS 1243. They shall have a rated primary voltage as specified by the switchgear and have two secondary windings with a voltage factor of 1.9 for 30 seconds as follows:

EP 19 00 00 02 SP
connected to suitably insulated terminals located in the LV compartment and earthed. The voltage transformers shall be protected by suitably rated circuit breakers connected in the low voltage circuit as close as possible to the transformer terminals. High voltage fuse protection of VTs is not mandatory and is only required where necessitated by equipment design. The requirement for a residual winding is dependent on the type of protection relays to be used. For maintenance, and for the commissioning of protection relays, it shall be possible to simulate the voltage conditions that would occur during earth faults and the supplier shall explain how this is achieved. A typical way to achieve this is to remove the high-voltage fuse in any one phase and earth that phase of the voltage transformer. 5.4.2 Voltage Transformer Secondary Wiring The voltage transformer secondary wiring shall be coloured as per the current transformer wiring with the exception of any open delta wiring, which shall be purple. Terminal blocks for VT secondary wiring shall provide 4mm sockets for the connection of test equipment. 5.4.3 Voltage Transformer Alarms A three phase, phase failure relay shall be connected to the star connected secondary winding of the voltage transformer. The phase failure relay shall provide a normally closed 'VOLTAGE TRANSFORMER FAIL' alarm contact as well as visual indication. The relay shall detect both under-voltage and negative phase sequence voltage unbalance on the load side of the main circuit breaker. 5.4.4 Voltage Transformer Supply to Protection Relays The VT supply to protection relays shall be via a dedicated circuit breaker for each protection relay. The circuit breaker shall have a voltage free auxiliary contact which is connected to the SCADA system to give an FEEDER XXX DIRECTIONAL VOLTAGE FAIL' alarm.

Auxiliary Supply (DC)

General Requirements The following are general requirements for the arrangement of auxiliary supplies to protection circuits and ACCB control.
JUNE 2007
Version 3.4
RailCorp
Page 22 of 85
EP 19 00 00 02 SP
All ACCBs shall be individually supplied from the 125V DC or 48V DC distribution board(s). The majority of RailCorp locations have an auxiliary supply of 125V DC, other locations have a supply of 48V DC. In each ACCB, distinct control circuits and equipment shall be individually fused. The fuses shall be sized to ensure there is discrimination. The following is a list of typical ACCB circuits and equipment that would be individually protected by fuses. 5.5.2 electronic protection relays trip coil circuits close control circuit motor/spring charge circuits alarm & indication circuits DC/DC power supplies (eg. ILIS power supply, transducer supplies)
Requirement for Two battery Systems To ensure integrity of the RailCorp electrical network is maintained when an auxiliary supply fails, strategic substations are required to have two independent substation battery systems. The criteria determining this requirement are: Connectivity of the substation (4 or more high voltage feeders) within the RailCorp electrical network. Maximum high voltage fault level and the margin to the rated short-time withstand current capacity of the switchgear installed at the substation. Criticality of the substation within the rail system. (eg. Main supply substation for city circle, rail tunnel, rail junction, last traction substation on a radial rail line). Where primary and backup protection is installed in the same substation, that substation shall have two battery systems. Some substations are exempt from this requirement. This exemption is based on risk exposure considering safety, operational impact, economic and environmental considerations. Complexity of the protection schemes and any resulting compromises in the protection coordination.

The associated main distribution boards of the battery systems are to be capable of being paralleled. Refer to Section 5.1 and Appendix C for specific requirements relating to protection schemes when there are two auxiliary supplies at a substation.
5.6
Protection Relays
All protection relays shall be flush mount and withdrawable. The auxiliary supply to the protection relays shall be 125V DC or 48V DC as determined by the existing substation battery or specified in the Substation design. Appendix A has a table listing the protection relays which are currently approved for use in the RailCorp electrical network. When specifying the type of protection relay to be used consideration must be given to ensure adequate integrated system support including availability of system spares. See 5.3.2 Additional Requirements for CTs with a Rated Secondary Current of 1 Amp. Alternatives to relays specified in Appendix A must be approved by the Chief Engineer, Electrical Systems.
5.7
Close Inhibit
Where a protection operation results in an MTM relay being energised, the MTM relay shall have normally closed contacts in the closing circuit of all the HV ACCBs that were tripped by the MTM. This is to prevent the ACCBs from being closed. This is applicable for all protection schemes. System transformers and 11kV/415V transformers shall have a close inhibit contact in both the primary and secondary ACCB closing circuits where fitted.
5.8
Protection Alarms
Every operation of a protection relay shall result in an individual alarm being sent to the SCADA system and provide a local indication. The alarm shall enable the Electrical System Operators to accurately identify the protection scheme that has operated. If a protection relay has more than one function (eg A and C overcurrent elements), then where practical each function shall have a separate alarm output. Refer to Appendix L for a detailed listing of SCADA alarms.

Inter-Trip Arrangements
Preferred Technology Optical fibre pilots are preferred for inter-tripping. Refer to Appendix A for protection relays currently preferred for use in the RailCorp Electrical Network for type of inter-trip relay.
5.9.2
Fibre Optic Pilots Where fibre optic pilots are available, the inter-tripping may be achieved utilising pilot wire relays that have inter-tripping as a function of the relay.
5.9.3
Copper Pilots Where inter-trip arrangements are required for a feeder, it is preferred the intertrip scheme is implemented using a dedicated pair of pilots for the scheme. If there are no spare pilots in the existing pilot cable, the inter-trip may be achieved by manipulating the feeder pilot wire scheme. A minimum of 15kV isolation shall be provided to avoid transfer of voltages across the pilots. This may be achieved by using an inter-trip relay that provides isolation at either end of the scheme.
5.10
Integrated Support System

An Integrated Support System exists for protection equipment. This current system is based on 5 Amp CTs and protection relays nominated in Appendix A. An economically justified integrated support analysis is required for any proposal to use non preferred schemes, relays or CTs. The analysis shall include relevant requirements of EP 00 00 00 12 SP and take account of the following: Test and support equipment Relay programming software Staff training Spares analysis and procurement Maintenance requirements analysis Operation and maintenance manuals

Specific Equipment Applications 33kV & 66kV Feeders

Standard Protection Schemes The following schemes shall be provided for the protection of 33kV and 66kV feeders:
RailCorp network feeder Primary Protection Pilot wire
Bulk Supply Feeder Directional over-current and earth fault (looking towards supply point) and Pilot wire or Distance protection (zone 1, last 20% Zone 2) at the supply end
Backup Protection
over-current and earth fault (may be directional if required by system configuration to achieve discrimination) and circuit breaker fail
In accordance with the other Network Operators policy
TABLE 2: 33kV & 66kV Feeder Protection Schemes 6.1.2 Primary Protection If the pilot circuit is not run via a dedicated pilot cable, an instantaneous overcurrent and earth fault check relay shall be provided in series with the trip from the pilot wire relay to prevent nuisance tripping of the feeder. All pilot wire schemes shall include pilot circuit supervision. This may be implemented either as a function of the pilot wire relay or using dedicated pilot circuit supervision equipment. 6.1.3 Backup protection The unit protection on the feeder shall be backed up by an over-current and earth fault scheme. This scheme shall operate via a circuit breaker and current transformers that are not part of the primary scheme.

Version 3.4
RailCorp
Page 26 of 85
EP 19 00 00 02 SP
6.1.4
Circuit Breaker Fail Scheme The failure of a circuit breaker to open in response to a protection trip command shall be detected and the appropriate upstream circuit breaker(s) tripped. A time delay shall be provided to avoid nuisance tripping. It is preferred that the feeder pilot wire relay provides this function. Where the pilot wire relay does not have this function an overcurrent and earth fault relay (with directional capabilities) shall be provided to implement the breaker fail scheme. A contact from the pilot wire relay shall be connected to the overcurrent and earth fault relay, which will initiate an internal timer (nominally set to 0.2s). If the fault has not been cleared within this time all possible sources of supply shall their ACCBs tripped. All ACCBs on the same busbar section as the failed ACCB shall be tripped via a multi-trip relay. Where the operation of a breaker fail scheme shall cause a Supply Point feeder to be not available, the associated protection relay(s) shall attempt to trip the ACCB via all available trip coils. The trip coils shall be connected to separate output contact/relays of the protection relay.
6.1.5
Location of Current Transformers It is preferred that the CTs are located on the busbar side of the feeder circuit breakers. However where this is not practicable, the current transformers for feeder protection may be located on the line side of the feeder circuit breaker. In this arrangement an inter-trip shall be provided to trip the feeder circuit breaker at the far end of the feeder whenever the local feeder circuit breaker is tripped. The far end circuit breaker is only required to trip if fault current is flowing through that circuit breaker. Refer to Section 5.9 Inter-Trip Arrangements for further details on inter-tripping. See Appendix J for typical Pilot Wire arrangements.
6.1.6
Metering Requirements Every feeder shall be provided with an ammeter and all bulk supply feeders shall be provided with kWh metering. Details of the ammeter, metering and their connection are specified in the appropriate switchgear standard.

6.2 11kV feeders

6.2.1 Standard Protection Schemes The 11kV network supplies a large variety of installations with varying degrees of operational criticality. These installations range from underground stations, major signal boxes to minor maintenance locations supplied from pole mounted transformers. The criticality of the installation, accessibility of the 11kV feeder and the fault level determines the type of protection to be provided. 6.2.2 Primary Protection The following list details the requirement for the primary protection to be a pilot wire scheme. 11kV feeders supplying underground railway stations. 11kV feeders supplying major signal boxes 11kV feeders installed in tunnels 11kV feeders supplying installations deemed to be operationally critical 11kV feeders where it is time critical to clear the fault due to high fault levels or bushfire hazards. All pilot wire schemes shall include pilot circuit supervision. This can be implemented either as a function of the pilot wire relay or using dedicated pilot circuit supervision equipment. Where the primary protection scheme is not required to be a pilot wire scheme, the feeder shall be protected with an over-current and earth fault scheme. 6.2.3 Backup protection The primary protection on the feeder shall be backed up by an over-current and earth fault scheme. Where the primary protection is a pilot wire scheme, the backup over-current and earth fault scheme can be located on the same circuit breaker panel, however the scheme must operate via a separate protection relay and ACCB trip coil. Where the primary protection is not a pilot wire scheme, the backup overcurrent and earth fault scheme shall operate via a circuit breaker and current transformers that are not part of the primary scheme.

Page 28 of 85
EP 19 00 00 02 SP
Where the primary protection is an overcurrent and earth fault scheme and is located on a 11kV switchboard supplied directly from a transformer, a neutral leakage relay shall be used as backup protection for earth faults. The transformer primary overcurrent protection may be used to backup feeder overcurrent protection. This is subject to the transformer overcurrent settings being suitable. 6.2.4 Circuit Breaker Fail Scheme The failure of a circuit breaker to open in response to a protection trip command shall be detected and all ACCBs on the same busbar section as the failed ACCB shall be tripped via a multi-trip relay. The multi-trip relay used to implement this may be the bus-zone multi-trip relay. If the feeders are protected by a pilot wire scheme then the appropriate upstream circuit breaker(s) shall be tripped. A time delay (0.2s) shall be provided to avoid nuisance tripping. It is preferred that the protection relays provide this function. 6.2.5 Location of Current Transformers It is preferred that the CTs are located on the busbar side of the feeder circuit breakers. However where this is not practicable, the current transformers for feeder protection can be located on the line side of the feeder circuit breaker. This is subject to RailCorp approval. 6.2.6 Metering Requirements Every feeder shall be provided with an ammeter and all feeders that are a dedicated supply to commercial premises (eg, train maintenance centres) shall be provided with kWh metering.

Current Transformers (33kV & 66kV)
The following tables detail the ratio and designation of current transformers, which are to be used in the RailCorp electrical network for typical schemes on the 66kV & 33kV high voltage system. The current transformer designation details are calculated based on the following parameters: Maximum CT secondary lead (loop) length of 20m with 2.5mm2 size cable for indoor equipment and a lead (loop) length of 150m with 16mm2 size cable for outdoor equipment. CT core knee point flux density of 1.45T System X/R = 5 MICOM P521 relay, refer to general equations for X/R<40 and tIdiff = 0.1s. MBCI relay, refer to general equations, X=1, large X/R, Kt = 20. Overcurrent and earth fault relays, Vk = In*If*(Rrelay+Rct+Rleads), with relay burdens as specified by the manufacturer.
Where the equipment to be protected is not in the following tables or the standard parameters above are not applicable then the protection CT requirements must be determined on an individual basis. Typical examples of these scenarios are: Lead lengths > 20m. System transformers with a size or voltage not specified below. Transformers with a different configuration. Feeders with a higher capacity than 500A.

Bus-Zone Schemes & Transformer Differential
The overall design of a bus-zone scheme is critical to ensure stability for through faults. The requirement for stabilising resistors to ensure stability and for metrosils to limit CT output voltage shall be determined for each individual scheme. Please refer to the AREVA MCAG34 application brochure for methods of calculation and requirements. CTs for use on bus-zone schemes have been sized on a fault level of 31.5kA.

Standard Test Block Wiring & Input/Output Relay Configuration
The following test block, protection relay input and output configurations are based on the majority of existing configurations in the RailCorp network. The configurations do not determine the requirement for a particular protection function, but detail the test block connections and output or input relay if that function is to be implemented. It is not general practice to connect alarms via the test block or connect spare output relays to the test block. The test block shall be located adjacent to the protection relay it is associated with. It is important that new installations comply with these diagrams as they affect the programming of electronic relays, the testing procedures for periodic maintenance and the production of standard designs. Any deviations from the standard configuration must be approved by the Protection Engineer.

Auto Re-close on High Voltage Feeders
The RailCorp re-closure policy is as follows: In general, one auto re-close in 5 seconds by SCADA (ie the master station initiates the auto re-close if all the requirements are met). This policy applies to the following: 2kV, 11kV, 33kV 66kV aerial lines 11kV, 33kV 66kV cables, no auto re-close 2kV signalling cables do have auto re-close because of the criticality of maintaining the supply and often the fault blows clear. A feeder that is partially cable and partially aerial line is treated as aerial line.
The auto re-close is taken off 33kV and 66kV feeders that traverse areas considered to be a bush fire risk when fire bans are imposed. This is a master station function initiated by the ESO's. Auto re-close is also automatically inhibited for 10 minutes after a close control.

Not all the alarms in the above list will be applicable. When determining the proposed alarms the following factors must be considered: Type of relay Capacity of RTU Function of relay Value adding of the alarm information to the EOC operator and RailCorp Protection Engineer.
In many existing locations some of the protection alarms (eg. TCS) are connected in parallel for each piece of equipment to give one general alarm. This was due to the limitations on the quantity of alarms that could be connected to the RTU at the time of installation.

Appendix M
Implementation Of SCADA Alarms & Control
The SCADA alarms and control to and from equipment can be implemented by hard wiring or using a high level interface such as a serial link. Electronic protection relays can be used to convey the information by using discrete output relays or via serial links. However certain information is critical for system operation and must be independent on the protection relay or communication link to the RTU. The following list details the SCADA alarms and control that are required to be hard wired to the RTU.
ACCB control ACCB indication (both open and closed) ACCB DISCONNECTOR/ISOLATOR indication (all positions)* EARTH SWITCH indication (both open and closed)* Tapchanger control Battery Charger alarm Protection relay watchdog alarms Trip Circuit Supervision (TCS), where provided by a dedicated TCS relay. Analogues (current and voltage) Phase failure relay * If all circuit breakers on a switchboard are not fitted with electronic relays having adequate RS485 communications to the RTU

Protection Relay Labelling Guidelines
The following rules apply to the labelling of protection relays and associated auxiliary relays: LOCATION OF LABELS: Labels should be located above the relay. If this is not possible, then they should be located directly below the relay.
COLOUR OF LABELS: All protection relays labels shall have black writing on a yellow background. All auxiliary relays (such as multi-trip relays) shall have black writing on a white background.
FORMAT To keep the length of labels to a minimum, abbreviations shall be used for the protection functions. The valid abbreviations are detailed in Table N1. All labels are to be in CAPITALS (except for abbreviations such as Tx & kV). The description of equipment shall be consistent with terminology as used in the AC operating diagrams. This is summarised below: FEEDERS: Feeder ID ;
Where Feeder ID is the unique 3 digit identification assigned to each high voltage feeder. TRANSFORMERS: Unit ID + voltage ratio + Tx ;
Where Unit ID is the identification given where there are multiple transformers (eg. No.1, No.2 etc). voltage ratio is the voltage ratio of the transformer usually expressed in kV (eg. 33/11kV, 66/33kV). RECTIFERS: Unit ID + RECTIFIER
Where Unit ID is the identification given where there are multiple rectifiers (eg. No.1, No.2 etc).

Definitions and Abbreviations

For the purpose of this specification the definitions specified in the referenced Australian Standards apply. Item Rotable item Description A major item of equipment/item/component that may be removed from its operating position for scheduled maintenance and subsequently reinstalled or replaced with a serviceable equivalent. A non repairable component which is damaged or wears due to use and is replaced with new component when necessary or where predetermined wear limits are reached, ( items such as contacts, lubricants, etc). An equipment component which may be removed from its operating position for maintenance, restored to a predetermined serviceable condition and reinstalled for a further use, such as switchgear bushings, high speed circuit breaker. An equipment component purchased and stored as replacement component for use in repairing the systems to serviceable condition subsequent to the occurrence of a major incident that causes secondary damage, such as damage to OHW, train derailment and the like. Insurance spares are normally components that are susceptible to sustaining damage beyond economical repair if involved in an incident and/or, have excessive lead times for replacement, and are required to restore a system to service. Maintenance requirements analysis (MRA) The process of determining the range of tasks in the maintenance schedules that will preserve the inherent levels of reliability of the design and which provide an effective and efficient means of keeping the equipment in the condition required.

Planned maintenance requirements shall as a minimum include the following, to the extent applicable to the design: Pre-operating procedures. Preventive maintenance, including service/lubrication tasks, condition monitoring requirements, scheduled restore/discard tasks, failure finding testing and any other tasks considered appropriate for all installed systems and equipment. Recommended overhaul requirements, including the recommended overhaul interval and location (onsite/depot/service centre). Details of any items subject to finite replacement or inspection lives, including structural inspections where applicable.
Maintenance checklists and procedures necessary to carry out the proposed tasks shall be defined. Maintenance checklists and procedures shall include information on consumable items used as part of the task and reference to any special tools,
Version: 2.0 Issue Date: JUNE 2007 Rail Corporation Page 11 of 37
facilities or equipment needed to perform the task as well as any special skills and/or training necessary for the task. The recommended maintenance requirements established as a result of this activity shall be documented in the form of a Technical Maintenance Plan as defined in 4.2.4. 4.2.2 Maintenance Requirements Analysis (MRA) The MRA process shall be undertaken in accordance with the RailCorp Maintenance Requirements Analysis Manual AM 9995 PM, which is based upon a Failure Modes, Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) and Reliability Centred Maintenance (RCM) methodology. (see below) The results of the MRA shall be documented and supplied. The Hazards and Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S) implications resulting from the MRA shall also be analysed and documented prior to completion of the respective sets of Service Schedules. The analysis and documentation shall be undertaken using either the OEMs inhouse software tools, or the templates provided. Where in-house tools are used, hard and electronic copy of the analysis shall be provided in an agreed format to allow transfer of the information into the maintainer's systems. 4.2.3 Failure Modes, Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) A Failure Modes, Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) shall be completed, documented and supplied as part of the MRA. The FMECA serves to identify potential failure modes that must be considered as part of the reliability estimation process for a specific item and to provide information on those that should receive highest priority for reliability improvement. The FMECA also provides the basis for development of programmed maintenance requirements and for identifying failure modes and effects for consideration as part of the Safety program. The FMECA will be conducted down to the Lowest Replaceable Unit level. The FMECA process shall be completed and documented to either: RailCorps requirements as specified in the Maintenance Requirements Analysis Manual AM9995PM, or the OEMs standard, provided that the approach meets the basic objectives set out within the potential Failure Mode and Effect Analysis Handbook, which forms part of the set of documentation for the QS 9000 supplement to QS 9000 Quality Systems. The FMECA shall be documented using the OEMs FMECA software tool.
The purpose of the FMECA is to review and analyse the equipments design to establish:
Potential or demonstrated failure modes for each significant item within the design. This will be carried out at the replaceable subassembly level. The likelihood of failure for each identified failure mode, where possible expressed in terms of failure per million operating hours. The effect of failure in terms of the impact on safety, operating performance, environmental impact and economic consequences, including damage to other equipment. The criticality of failure in terms of operation of the system, that is, whether trains can continue to operate without delay or whether the rail systems/subsystem can continue to operate after the failure has occurred.

About This Standard

This document details the whole of life performance requirements for indoor 11kV non-withdrawable switchgear for use in the RailCorp distribution system. All information required to ensure that the switchgear is electrically suitable for the RailCorp network is contained in this document or referenced by this document. Switchboard units of various configurations are fitted with SCADA controlled circuit breaker and load break fault make switch panels complete with interlocked make-proof earthing facilities combined and arranged in linear configurations. The normal arrangement whereby a busbar and associated switchgear is to be sectionalised into two or more sections is accomplished by each section comprising a separate switchboard unit, physically separated from the other unit(s) and connected by a tie cable through a bus tie circuit breaker at each end of the tie cable. Where space or building constraints (cable ducts etc) exist a bus coupling circuit breaker arrangement maybe required for the busbar sectionalising function this is not a preferred configuration. Specific circuit breaker panel configuration requirements are set out for the following applications: feeder, bus tie, transformers and capacitors. Some configurations will require switch disconnector functional units. The protection and control equipment is an integral part of the switchboard and located with the associated switchgear. Specific details of the required protection schemes and associated equipment are provided in a companion document, EP 19 00 00 02 SP Protection System requirements for the High Voltage network. The requirements of this protection document must be complied with in the supply and use of 11kV switchgear specified herein. Busbar voltage transformers shall be provided for each busbar in each switchboard. This standard does not apply to ring main units.

Background
RailCorp operates a high voltage AC network in which the nominal voltages used are 11kV, 33kV, 66kV and 132kV. RailCorp also operates a 1500V DC network that supplies power for electric traction. The RailCorp high voltage distribution system operates at 11kV and supplies railway signalling, stations and other loads along the rail corridor. The RailCorp 11kV system comprises both overhead lines and underground cable. Some portions of the RailCorp 11kV system are solidly earthed while other portions are resistively earthed. System substations are either outdoor or indoor. Indoor arrangements are preferred for new construction. System substations by definition are locations that include a SCADA controlled HV circuit breaker. Distribution substations are either pole mounted, kiosks (pad mount), or indoor and are generally protected by a HV fuse. Some distribution substations have self-powered HV circuit breakers.

Bus tie cable circuit breaker

Railcorp switchgear code = T Where required for 11kV network reasons more than one switchboard may be required in a substation. Such switchboards would normally be physically separated to reduce the risk of one event damaging both. Switchboards are interconnected by a tie cable through a bus tie circuit breaker at each end of the tie cable. This is the preferred bus sectioning arrangement at a substation location. The cable tie requires a high impedance unit protection scheme. All bus cable tie ACCBs shall be arranged for local and remote control as specified in this document.

Prior Service Conditioning Circuit breaker contacts for capacitor or filter control shall be conditioned prior to use in switching a capacitor bank. This may be achieved by placing a low voltage welder across the circuit breaker contacts, ramping the current to the circuit breaker rating then successively opening and closing the breaker. Conditioning removes any manufacturing sharp edges that may have resulted which in first true service may ultimately lead to re-strike. An alternate method of achieving conditioned capacitor bank circuit breaker contacts is to swap the circuit breaker with one that is already in service and that has been switched on load. The circuit breaker to be swapped must be similar in all other respects to the new unconditioned circuit breaker. Confirmation of Opening Duty A circuit breaker intended to supply a capacitor bank shall be confirmed suitable for the duty by the manufacturer, such that no re-strike will occur after the arc is extinguished in each pole. It shall be noted that capacitor bank de-energisation will place a DC offset on the power frequency voltage across the circuit breaker contacts. In the worst case this DC offset may be taken to be 150% of the system peak phase to neutral voltage. If a circuit breaker is not able to be confirmed by the manufacturer as suitable for capacitor bank opening resulting in a 150% DC voltage on the load side, then the expected opening transients shall be simulated and supplied to the manufacturer for consideration and approval. Where a floating neutral capacitor bank is used, then opening transient voltage simulations shall take into account possible purely capacitive coupling of the capacitor bank neutral to earth and possible purely resistive coupling of the capacitor bank neutral to earth. Either case results in a differing trapped charge on the capacitor bank neutral following the last two poles of the circuit breaker to open. Time domain simulations shall account for saturable Voltage Transformers if they exist on the capacitor bank load side of the circuit breaker. Time domain simulations shall account for individual pole opening on current zero crossings when an open command is issued. Vacuum interrupting is preferred due to its natural dielectric recovery upon arc extinguishing. If SF6 interrupters are used then the SF6 arc quenching mechanism shall not rely on movement of the SF6 gas through the arc to quench the arc. This requirement allows for unexpected delayed re-strike to be interrupted with arc quenching and dielectric strength recovery with the circuit breaker contacts held still in the fully open position. Confirmation of Closing Duty
Rail Corporation
Page 31 of 86
The designed capacitor bank inrush currents and contact voltages on Closing shall be time domain simulated. Three phase plots of the circuit breaker contact inrush current shall be forwarded to the circuit breaker manufacturer for approval. Time domain simulations shall account for any back to back capacitor bank switching where applicable. Circuit earthing Provision of suitable earthing switches, interlocks and components for circuit and capacitor discharge capability shall be included. Where required, supplementary earthing switch(s), interlocks and circuity for the neutral of a floating capacitor bank shall be provided.

Switchboard Configurations
Due to the variability of the requirements for SCADA controlled 11kV switchboards, it is not possible to identify all configurations. Each switchboard is to be designed and manufactured specifically for each site within the following constraints: The switchgear functional units shall be assembled into switchboard panels. Each switchboard shall include a bus bar voltage transformer (VT). Standard circuit breaker functions are: Feeder, System Transformer, Distribution Transformer, Tie (Bus) and Bus coupler. Switchboards with single bus tie panels should have the bus tie at one end of the switchboard. Switchboards with two bus tie panels should have the bus tie panels at opposite ends of the switchboard. The position of each functional unit will be specified at time of order in accordance with the approved for purchase operating diagram see Appendix B.3

Sulphur-hexafluoride (SF6) insulated switchgear shall be filled with SF6 that complies with the requirements of IEC 60376. Cladded gas compartments shall be designed as hermetically sealed pressure system according to AS 62271200. The switchgear shall be factory sealed so as not require any routine gas replenishment during installation or in normal service. The complete busbar system shall be integrated completely and throughout within the gas filled cladded compartments of the switchgear. All HV conducting parts are to be isolated from the external environment. The design, construction and sealing of gas compartments shall be such that the gas will not require replenishment for at least 30 years. Gas compartment seals of static bushings and pressure relief devices shall be kept to a minimum. A common gas tight rotary bushing shall be used for any rotary actuators. Gas compartments are to be welded and static bushings must be sealed by pressure gaskets for operational life. The operational leak rate for gas insulation must not exceed 0.1% per year. Bushings are to be used between the internal gas filled clad compartment and the external atmosphere for cable connections and for the flanging of metal enclosed components (VTs etc). It is preferred that switchgear that requires gassing after panels are assembled into switchboards be gassed at the factory and transported to site as a single unit. Only if specifically approved by RailCorp, shall gas compartments be assembled, gassed and sealed on site. In this situation the supplier shall test the tightness, in accordance with AS 2650 clause 6.1, and shall certify and warrant for gas tightness. A device for monitoring the SF6 pressure in each gas compartment while in service shall be provided. This device shall provide indication of the minimum

End of life gas recovery After the operational life of the switchboard it must be possible to recover the complete SF6 gas of every gas filled compartment by a serial recovery valve.
8.7
Earthing bar
To assist with stray current mitigation measures from the dc traction system, it may be necessary to connect 11kV cable screens to a separate cable screen earth bar on feeder panels only. This arrangement is to facilitate future installation of a transient earth clamp. The transient clamp acts as a DC decoupler, to provide DC isolation between earthing points that are still AC connected. Under an AC earth fault the clamp impedance momentarily changes state to a virtual short circuit, acting to provide a direct connection of HV cable screens to the switchboard earth bar. The transient earth clamp blocks the path to dc stray current that could otherwise flow via the cable screen. Note some HV panels will require all HV earth screens to be directly connected to the switchboard earth bar. Each switchgear panel shall include two copper earthing bars, rated for maximum fault levels and not less than 120 mm2 cross section area to facilitate earthing. The cable screen earth bar shall be connected to the switchboard earth bar via removable links and shall be isolated from similar bars in adjacent panels. It shall be insulated from the frame of the switchboard by insulated mounts that have been rated for maximum earth potential rise and tested for at least 11/3 kV for 1 minute. The cable screen earth bar shall provide for connection of the removable link, three HV cable screens and two cable connections holes for a transient earth clamp. The switchboard earth bar shall interconnect adjacent switchgear panels and provide: for all switchgear bonding for two cable connections to the main substation earth grid for a removable link per feeder panel for connection to the insulated earth screen earthing bar for three cable screens for panels other than feeders requirements for circuit test facility (see clause 8.19)
