Disturbance & fault recorders are mainly used for recording the dynamic fault processes of power
system.
The main tasks of the disturbance & fault recorders are to record the changing process of relative
electrical parameters of the system as well as the activities of relay protection and automatic
safety devices after the great system disturbance occurs.
Digital substation is the developing trend in the future. More and more substations have started the
digital construction and transformation. Application of digital technology can not only greatly
reduce cost but also bring much convenience for management and maintenance. At the same
time, application of digital technology has brought profound reforms to traditional management
mode. Based on a great deal of researches on the features of digital technology and practices of
the digital substation technology of our company, we specially designed the PCS-996R

measuring and recording of various substations in a wide area. The hardware and software have
truly realized the modular structure, which enables flexible assembly and high versatility, allowing
for batch process.
The hardware and software of the device adopt modular structure, the universal modules can be
applied conveniently. The device is suitable for mass production.
PCS-996R is designed with multiple reliability measures to ensure high reliability.

t = 0ms: The start time of disturbance
A B C
S T
Figure 3.2-1 Time stage sequence of waveform recording
Where:
A, B, C are 3 time stages of waveform recording duration.
S is the start time of the time stage A.
T is a moment during the time stage B.
The waveform recording will be carried out in the sequence shown in above figure.
 Time stage A: Record the data before a disturbance, output original recorded waveform
and the recording duration ≥40ms.

 Time stage B: Record the data of early stage after a disturbance, output original recorded
waveform and the recording duration ≥0.1s.
 Time stage C: Record the data of middle stage after a disturbance, output continuous RMS
values at standard power frequency (e.g.: 50Hz) and the recording time≥1s.
 Initial trigger: When any trigger condition is met, the wave recoding will be carried out from
the moment S in a sequence of time stages A, B, C.
 Repeated trigger: During the process of recording, if there is an output of a binary input or
a sudden change of quantity in the Time stage B, the recording will be carried out
repeatedly from the moment T in a sequence of Time stage B & Time stage C. Otherwise
the recording is carried out repeatedly from the moment S in a sequence of Time stage A,
Time stage B, Time stage C.
 Automatic recording termination condition: All trigger quantities reset.
NOTE: As for the timestamp of output data, the start time of a disturbance is taken as the
zero point of time coordinate for this event such as a short-circuit fault. Recording
durations and sampling rates of each time stage can be set manually.
3.3 Data Storage
2 waveform recording methods and 3 storage locations are adopted in the application of
PCS-996R:
1) Transient disturbance & fault recording and storage.
2) Continuous disturbance & fault recording and storage.
3) Storage in local DFR analysis workstation.
After the occurrence of system disturbance, PCS-996R will start disturbance & fault recording at
the sampling rate up to 9.6KHz, and the data will be stored in local CF card (Capacity: 2G). These
data are so-called transient disturbance & fault recording data.
No matter there is system disturbance or not, PCS-996R keeps on disturbance & fault recording at
the sampling rate of 1.2KHz continuously, and the data will be stored in local CF card (Capacity:
32G). These data are so-called continuous disturbance & fault recording data.
The transient disturbance & fault recording data and the continuous disturbance & fault
recording data can be sent to local DFR analysis workstation to be analyzed and stored. When
there is no spare storage space in the CF card of PCS-996R or the hard disk of the local DFR
analysis workstation, the latest data will overwrite the oldest data.
Thus the style of 2 waveform recording methods and 3 storage locations is realized to ensure the
integral reliability of the storage of the disturbance & fault recording data.
2 independent CPU modules are used to realize transient disturbance & fault recording and

steady disturbance & fault recording respectively. In this way, the relative independence in
hardware and software are ensured and the integral reliability of the device is enhanced.

5.2.4 BI Module（NR1502）on B10~B14 (Optional)
NOTE：BI module（NR1502）is an optional module. But in application, this module is
often applied because analog inputs are often necessary for PCS-996R.
Intelligent binary input module (BI module for short) (NR1502) can supervise 24 binary inputs at
the same time and transmit binary inputs to other modules by inner bus.
NR1502A and NR1502D share the same pin definition, only their working voltages of all the binary
inputs are different.
For NR1502D, the rated working voltage of all the binary inputs is 24V/48V;
For NR1502A, the rated working voltage of all the binary inputs is 220/110V.
When the voltage of binary input is greater than 70% of rated working voltage, the binary input is
energized;
When the voltage of binary input is smaller than 60% of rated working voltage, the binary input is
de-energized.
BI module (NR1502A) and its typical wiring connection are shown in the following figure.
In this figure, the BI module (NR1502A) gets the 110V/220V power supply from Pin 10 and Pin 11

7.1 Overview
This chapter will introduce the hidden settings of PCS-996R.
These settings are not displayed in the menus on the LCD display, but they can be viewed and
modified by a debugging tool.
Each power line can adopt 1-wire measurement, 2-wire measurement, 3-wire measurement or
4-wire measurement.
If a power line adopts 1-wire measurement or 2-wire measurement, the corresponding settings are
the same, but if this power line adopts 3-wire measurement or 4-wire measurement, the
corresponding settings will be different.
The following sections will introduce the settings of PCS-996R.

Chapter 8 WEB
Chapter 8 WEB
8.1 Overview
With the rise and development of the Internet technology, during the management and interaction
of the embedded equipments, the application based on WEB acts an important role in the main
stream nowadays.
PCS-996R supports the WEB browsing function. On the computer which acts as the WEB client,
the information of PCS-996R can be viewed by WEB browser conveniently. The WEB browsing
function will be introduced in this chapter.
Firstly, PCS-996R should be ensured to be connected to the computer via RJ45 ethernet ports,
and then an appropriate IP address and a correct subnet mask should be assigned to the RJ45
ethernet port of the computer.
Such an example will be taken in this chapter:
Suppose the [IP addrA] setting of PCS-996R is set as “198.120.0.33”,
and the [Subnet mask addrA] setting of PCS-996R is set as “255.255.255.0”.
The IP address of the RJ45 ethernet port of the computer can be set as “198.120.0.x”.
(x=1,2,3… 254, i.e.: x can be any integer between 1 and 254, but x can not be 33 because the IP
address of the computer must be different from the [IP addrA] of PCS-996R).
The subnet mask of the RJ45 ethernet port of the computer must be configured as
“255.255.255.0”. (i.e.: the subnet mask of the computer must be the same as the [Subnet mask
addrA] of PCS-996R).
NOTE: 2 CPU boards can be configured in PCS-996R , but the WEB browsing
function can only be realized by connecting the RJ45 ethernet port of the computer to
the RJ45 ethernet port of the left CPU board (viewed from the back of PCS-996R), or by
connecting it to the RJ45 multiplex port on the front panel of PCS-996R.
I.e.: the WEB browsing function can not be realized by connecting the RJ45
ethernet port of the computer to the RJ45 ethernet port of the right CPU board (viewed
from the back of PCS-996R).
NOTE: All the RJ45 ethernet ports of the left CPU board (viewed from the back of
PCS-996R) and the RJ45 multiplex port on the front panel share the same IP address
([IP addrA]) and the same subnet mask([Subnet mask addrA]).
Now the WEB browsing function can be realized by this computer. Please input the IP
address ([IP addrA], in this example, it is “198.120.0.33”.) of PCS-996R in the address bar of
Internet Explorer to connect PCS-996R. A login interface will appear as shown in the following

Company or agent, should departures from the delivery note, the shipping papers or the order be
found.
Visually inspect all the material when unpacking it. When there is evidence of transport damage,
lodge a claim immediately in writing with the last carrier and notify the nearest NR Company or
agent.
If the equipment is not going to be installed immediately, store all the parts in their original packing
in a clean dry place at a moderate temperature. The ambient temperature and humidity required
for storage please refer to Chapter 2.
9.4 Material and Tools Required
The necessary mounting kits will be provided, including screws, pincers and assembly
instructions.
A suitable drill and spanners are required to secure the cubicles to the floor using the plugs
provided (if PCS-996R is mounted in cubicles).

9.5 Device Location and Ambient Conditions
The place of installation should permit easy access especially to front of the device, i.e. to the
human-machine interface of the equipment.
There should also be free access at the rear of the equipment for additions and replacement of
electronic boards.
Since every piece of technical equipment can be damaged or destroyed by inadmissible ambient
conditions, such as:
1) The location should not be exposed to excessive air pollution (dust, aggressive substances).
2) Severe vibration, extreme changes of temperature, high levels of humidity, surge voltages of
high amplitude and short rise time and strong induced magnetic fields should be avoided as
far as possible.
3) Air must not be allowed to circulate freely around the equipment.
The equipment can in principle be mounted in any attitude, but it is normally mounted vertically
(visibility of markings).
WARNING: Excessively high temperature can appreciably reduce the operating life of
the PCS-996R.
9.6 Mechanical Installation
This device is made of a single layer 4U height with some connectors on its rear panel. The
following two figures show the dimensions and cut-out size in the cubicle of PCS-996R for
reference in mounting.
Figure 9.6-1 Dimensions of PCS-996R (unit: mm)

179.00
101.60
Figure 9.6-2 Cut-out size of PCS-996R in the cubicle (unit: mm)
NOTE: It is necessary to leave enough space top and bottom of the cut-out in the cubicle
for heat emission of the PCS-996R.
All the modules must be plugged into the proper slots of the PCS-996R respectively. The safety
instructions must be abided by when installing the boards, see Section 9.2”Safety Instructions”.
In the case of equipment supplied in cubicles, place the cubicles on the foundations that have
been prepared. Take care while doing so not to jam or otherwise damage any of the cables that
have already been installed. Secure the cubicles to the foundations.
9.7 Electrical Installation and Wiring
9.7.1 Grounding Guidelines

Switching operations in HV installations generate transient over voltages on control signal cables.
There is also a background of electromagnetic RF fields in electrical installations that can induce
spurious currents in the devices themselves or the leads connected to them.
All these influences can influence the operation of electronic apparatus.
On the other hand, electronic apparatus can transmit interference that can disrupt the operation of
other apparatus.
In order to minimize these influences as far as possible, certain standards have to be observed
with respect to grounding, wiring and screening.
NOTE: All these precautions can only be effective if the station ground is of good quality.
9.7.2 Cubicle Grounding
The cubicle must be designed and fitted out such that the impedance for RF interference of the
ground path from the electronic device to the cubicle ground terminal is as low as possible.
Metal accessories such as side plates, blanking plates etc., must be effectively connected
surface-to-surface to the grounded frame to ensure a low-impedance path to ground for RF

interference. The contact surfaces must not only conduct well, they must also be non -corroding.
NOTE: If the above conditions are not fulfilled, there is a possibility of the cubicle or parts
of it forming a resonant circuit at certain frequencies that would amplify the transmission
of interference by the devices installed and also reduce their immunity to induced
interference.
Movable parts of the cubicle such as doors (front and back) or hinged equipment frames must be
effectively grounded to the frame by three braided copper strips (see Figure 9.7-1 Cubicle
grounding system).
The metal parts of the cubicle housing and the ground rail are interconnected electrically
conducting and corrosion proof. The contact surfaces shall be as large as possible.
NOTE: For metallic connections please observe the voltage difference of both materials
according to the electrochemical code.
The cubicle ground rail must be effectively connected to the station ground rail by a grounding strip
(braided copper).
Figure 9.7-1 Cubicle grounding system
9.7.3 Ground Connection on the Device
There is a ground terminal on the PWR module of the device, and the ground braided copper strip
can be connected with it. Take care that the grounding strip is always as short as possible. The
main thing is that the device is only grounded at one point. Grounding loops from unit to unit are
not allowed. When the PWR module is plugged into the proper slots of the device, the ground
terminals of the PWR module is connected with the metal parts of the cubicle housing. There are
some ground terminals on some other connectors of this relay. All the ground terminals are
connected in the cabinet of this relay. So, the ground terminal on the PWR module is the only
ground terminal of this device.

Chapter 11 Maintenance
11.1 Maintenance Schedule
It is recommended that products supplied by NR receive periodic monitoring after installation. In

view of the critical nature of the device and their infrequent operation, it is desirable to confirm that
they are operating correctly at regular intervals.
This device is self-supervised and so requires less maintenance. Most problems will result in an
alarm so that remedial action can be taken. However, some periodic tests should be done to
ensure that the device is functioning correctly and the external wiring is intact.
11.2 Regular Testing
The device is almost completely self-supervised. Therefore regular testing can be minimized to
check the unsupervised aspects.
11.3 Failure Tracing and Repair
Failures will be detected by automatic supervision or regular testing.
When a failure is detected by supervision, a remote alarm is issued and the failure is indicated on
the front panel with LED indicators.
When a failure is detected during regular testing, confirm the following:
 Modules are securely inserted in position.
 Correct power voltage is applied.
 Test circuit connections are correct.
 Test procedures comply with those stated in the manual.
11.4 Replace Failed Modules
If the failure is identified to be in the module of this device and the user has spare modules, the
user can recover the protection by replacing the failed modules.
Repair at the site should be limited to module replacement. Maintenance at the component level is
not recommended.
Check that the replacement module has an identical module name ( NR1301,… , etc.) and
hardware type-form as the removed module. Furthermore, the CPU module replaced should have
the same software version. Furthermore, the PWR module replaced should have the same

ratings. The example to pull out a board is shown in the following figure.
Figure 11.4-1 Example of pulling out a board
WARNING: Units and modules may only be replaced while the supply is switched off and
only by appropriately trained and qualified personnel. Strictly observe the basic
precautions to guard against electrostatic discharge.
WARNING: When handling a module, take anti-static measures such as wearing an
earthed wrist band and placing modules on an earthed conductive mat. Otherwise, many
of the electronic components could suffer damage. After replacing the CPU module,
check the settings.
DANGER: After replacing modules, be sure to check that the same configuration is set
as before the replacement. If this is not the case, there is a danger of the unintended
operation of switchgear taking place or of protections not functioning correctly. Persons
may also be put in danger.
11.5 Cleaning
Before cleaning the equipment ensure that all AC and DC supplies, current transformer and
voltage transformer connections are isolated to prevent any chance of an electric shock whilst
cleaning. Use a smooth cloth to clean the front panel. Do not use abrasive material or detergent
chemicals.
