Measuring relays and protection equipment - Part 187-1: Functional requirements for differential protection - Restrained and unrestrained differential protection of motors, generators and transformers

This part of IEC 60255 specifies the minimum requirements for functional and performance
evaluation of (longitudinal) differential protection designed for the detection of faults in ac
motors, generators and transformers. This document also defines how to document and publish
performance test results.
This document covers the differential protection function whose operating characteristic can be
defined on a bias-differential plane. It includes specification of the protection function,
measurement characteristics, compensation of energizing quantities, additional restraint or
blocking methods (for overexcitation and magnetizing inrush), starting and time delay
characteristics. This document also covers unrestrained differential protection functions
traditionally combined with the restrained (biased) differential element to form a single
differential relay.
This document defines the influencing factors that affect the accuracy under steady state
conditions and performance characteristics during dynamic conditions. The test methodologies
for verifying performance characteristics and accuracy are also included in this document.
This document also includes current transformer requirements for the protection functions.

Relais de mesure et dispositifs de protection - Partie 187-1: Exigences fonctionnelles pour la protection différentielle - Protection différentielle avec et sans caractéristique de retenue des moteurs, générateurs et transformateurs

IEC 60255-187-1:2021 spécifie les exigences minimales relatives à l'évaluation fonctionnelle et à l’évaluation de la performance de la protection différentielle (longitudinale) conçue pour la détection des défauts dans les moteurs à courant alternatif, les générateurs et les transformateurs. Le présent document définit également comment documenter et publier les résultats des essais de performance.Le présent document définit les facteurs d'influence qui affectent la précision en état stable et les caractéristiques de performance dans des conditions dynamiques. Les méthodologies d’essai permettant de vérifier les caractéristiques de performance et la précision sont également incluses dans le présent document.
Le présent document, ainsi que l’IEC 60255-187-2 et l’IEC 60255-187-3, annule et remplace l’IEC 60255-13. Le présent document inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'IEC 60255‑13:
a. L’IEC 60255-13 a été considérablement révisée pour suivre la structure commune des normes fonctionnelles pour les relais de protection (série IEC 60255-1xx). L’IEC 60255-187-1 a été développée pour traiter la protection différentielle avec et sans caractéristique de retenue des moteurs, générateurs et transformateurs. Les révisions comprennent une description détaillée des fonctions, y compris les spécifications de performance, les essais et les exigences en matière de documentation.
