3.1 Overview
The VBC unit includes management and monitor module (MON module, NR2125) and fiber optic
input and output module (IO module, NR2213), the MON module is used for control algorithm
calculation, communication with HMI and recording, and the IO module is used for communication
with SMCs.
MON Module
Data bus
ARM DSP
IO 1 IO 2 IO 16
The MON module comprises of three processor, ARM, FPGA and DSP, as shown in the above
figure. The FPGA is responsible for transmitting the status information and measurements of
sub-modules to the DSP via data bus, and the DSP is responsible for data process, control logic
calculation and transmitting the calculated control signals to the FPGA via data bus, then FPGA
distributes and sends the control signals to SMCs via IO module. The ARM is used for operating
the embedded Linux operating system, receiving and processing the sub-module information and
device operation information sent by FPGA and DSP and converting them to event, remote
measurement, remote control and recording, etc.
under-voltage and ensuring the normal operation of sub-module without the effect of abnormal
voltage. The VBC unit calculates each SMCs’ control signal according to the voltage balance
algorithm, and the SMCs adjust dynamically sub-module voltages to be balanced based on the
control signals.
If the number of faulty sub-modules is greater than the number of redundancy sub-modules, VBC
unit will issue blocking commands to all SMCs and send the operation signal to PCP unit, which
executes the tripping output.
The device faults include hardware fault, software fault and communication fault, and these faults
are classified into three classes, slight fault, severe fault or emergent fault. The VBC unit will light
the corresponding indicators according to the fault class, for slight fault or severe fault, the
indicator “ALARM” will be lit, for emergent fault, the indicator “TRIP” will be lit. For the detailed
alarm signals, please refer to Chapter 4.
The sub-module faults are also classified into seven types, bypass status, bypass failure,
communication fault, IGBT fault, voltage abnormality, power supply fault and over-temperature
fault. Besides, there is an overall alarm signal of sub-module faults, so for each sub-module, it has
eight types of alarm signals. For the detailed alarm signals, please refer to Chapter 4.

4.1 Overview
The device is in quiescent state under normal conditions, and it is required to respond promptly for
faults occurred. When it is in energizing process before the LED “HEALTHY” is on, the device
needs to be checked to ensure no abnormality. Therefore, the automatic supervision function,
which checks the health of the control system when startup and during normal operation, plays an
important role.
In case a defect is detected during initialization when DC power supply is provided to the device,
the device will be blocked with indication and alarm of device out of service. It is suggested a trial
recovery of the device by re-energization. Please contact supplier if the device is still failure.
A minor abnormality may block a certain number of the functions while the other functions can still
work. However, if severe hardware failure or abnormality, such as PWR module failure, are
detected, all the functions will be blocked and the LED “HEALTHY” will be extinguished and
blocking output contacts will be given. The device then can’t work normally and maintenance is
required to eliminate the failure. The following table lists the alarm signals, which can be displayed
in the HMI.

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.
NOTICE!
All these precautions can only be effective if the station ground is of good quality.
Metal accessories such as side plates, blanking plates etc., must be effectively connected
NOTICE!
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 7.7-1).
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.
NOTICE!
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).

There are some ground terminals on some connectors of this device, and the sign is “GND”. All the
ground terminals are connected in the cabinet of this device. So, the ground terminal on the rear
panel (see Figure 7.7-2) is the only ground terminal of this device.
The grounding strips must therefore be of (preferably tinned) braided copper and not round copper
conductors, as the cross-section of round copper would have to be too large.
Proper terminations must be fitted to both ends (press/pinch fit and tinned) with a hole for bolting
them firmly to the items to be connected.
The surfaces to which the grounding strips are bolted must be electrically conducting and
non-corroding.

software), the menu can be viewed one page at a time to display a full column of data and text.
This PC software also allows settings to be entered more easily, saved to a file on disk for future
reference or printed to produce a setting record. Refer to the PC software user manual for details.
If the software is being used for the first time, allow sufficient time to become familiar with its
operation.
These product checks cover all aspects of the device which should be checked to ensure that it
has not been physically damaged prior to commissioning, is functioning correctly and all input
quantity measurements are within the stated tolerances.
If the application-specific settings have been applied to the device prior to commissioning, it is
advisable to make a copy of the settings so as to allow them restoration later. This could be done
by extracting the settings from the device itself via printer or manually creating a setting record.
This device is fully numerical and the hardware is continuously monitored. Commissioning tests
can be kept to a minimum and need only include hardware tests and conjunctive tests. The
function tests are carried out according to user’s correlative regulations.
The following tests are necessary to ensure the normal operation of the equipment before it is first
put into service.
Hardware tests
These tests are performed for the following hardware to ensure that there is no hardware
defect. Defects of hardware circuits other than the following can be detected by
self-monitoring when the DC power is supplied.
Function tests
These tests are performed for the following functions that are fully software-based. Tests of
the protection schemes and fault locator require a dynamic test set.
Timers test
Conjunctive tests
The tests are performed after the device is connected with the primary equipment and other
external equipment.
On load test.
After unpacking the product, check for any damage to the device case. If there is any damage, the
internal module might also have been affected, contact the vendor. The following items listed is
necessary.
Device panel
Carefully examine the device panel, equipment inside and other parts inside to see that no
physical damage has occurred since installation.
The rated information of other auxiliary protections should be checked to ensure it is correct
for the particular installation.
Panel wiring
Check the conducting wire which is used in the panel to assure that their cross section
meeting the requirement.
Carefully examine the wiring to see that they are no connection failure exists.
Label
Check all the isolator binary inputs, terminal blocks, indicators, switches and push buttons to
make sure that their labels meet the requirements of this project.
Check each plug-in module of the equipments on the panel to make sure that they are well
installed into the equipment without any screw loosened.
Earthing cable
Check whether the earthing cable from the panel terminal block is safely screwed to the panel
steel sheet.
Check whether all the switches, equipment keypad, isolator binary inputs and push buttons
work normally and smoothly.
Insulation resistance tests are only necessary during commissioning if it is required for them to be
done and they have not been performed during installation.
Isolate all wiring from the earth and test the isolation with an electronic or brushless insulation
tester at a DC voltage not exceeding 500V, The circuits need to be tested should include:
DC power supply
Output contacts
Communication ports
Test method:
To unplug all the terminals sockets of this device, and do the Insulation resistance test for each
circuit above with an electronic or brushless insulation tester.
On completion of the insulation resistance tests, ensure all external wiring is correctly reconnected
to the device.
Check that the external wiring is correct to the relevant device diagram and scheme diagram.
Ensure as far as practical that phasing/phase rotation appears to be as expected.
Check the wiring against the schematic diagram for the installation to ensure compliance with the
customer’s normal practice.
The device only can be operated under the auxiliary power supply depending on the device’s
nominal power supply rating.
The incoming voltage must be within the operating range specified in Chapter “Technical Data”,
before energizing the device, measure the auxiliary supply to ensure it within the operating range.
Other requirements to the auxiliary power supply are specified in Chapter “Technical Data”. See
this section for further details about the parameters of the power supply.
WARNING!
Energize this device only if the power supply is within the specified operating ranges in
Chapter “Technical Data”.
On power up, the green LED “HEALTHY” should have illuminated and stayed on indicating that
the device is healthy.
The device has latched signal relays which remember the state of the trip, auto-reclose when the
device was last energized from an auxiliary supply. Therefore these indicators may also illuminate
when the auxiliary supply is applied. If any of these LEDs are on then they should be reset before
proceeding with further testing. If the LED successfully reset, the LED goes out. There is no testing
required for that that LED because it is known to be operational.
It is likely that alarms related to voltage transformer supervision will not reset at this stage.
Apply the rated DC power supply and check that the “HEALTHY” LED is lighting in green. We
need to emphasize that the “HEALTHY” LED is always lighting in operation course except that the
equipment find serious errors in it.
Produce one of the abnormal conditions listed in Chapter “Supervision”, the “ALARM” LED will
light in yellow. When abnormal condition reset, the “ALARM” LED extinguishes.
After the above tests are completed, remove all test or temporary shorting leads, etc. If it has been
necessary to disconnect any of the external wiring from the device in order to perform the wiring
verification tests, it should be ensured that all connections are replaced in accordance with the
relevant external connection or scheme diagram.
If the device is in a new installation or the circuit breaker has just been maintained, the circuit
breaker maintenance and current counters should be zero. If a test block is installed, remove the
test plug and replace the cover so that the device is put into service.
Ensure that all event records, fault records, disturbance records and alarms have been cleared
and LED’s has been reset before leaving the device.

Since the device is almost completely self-monitored, from the measuring inputs to the output
relays, hardware and software defects are automatically detected and reported. The
self-monitoring ensures the high availability of the device and generally allows for a corrective
rather than preventive maintenance strategy. Therefore, maintenance checks in short intervals are
not required.
Operation of the device is automatically blocked when a hardware failure is detected. If a problem
is detected in the external measuring circuits, the device normally only provides alarm messages.
2. It is only allowed to plug or withdraw the board when the supply is reliably switched off. Never
allow the CT secondary circuit connected to this equipment to be opened while the primary system
is live when withdrawing an AC module. Never try to insert or withdraw the board when it is
unnecessary.
3. Check weld spots on PCB whether they are well soldered without any rosin joint. All dual
inline components must be well plugged.
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 (AI, PWR, MON, DSP, etc.)
and hardware type-form as the removed module. Furthermore, the MON module replaced should
have the same software version. In addition, the AI and PWR module replaced should have the
same ratings.
The module name is indicated on the top front of the module. The software version is indicated in
LCD menu “Version Info”.
CAUTION!
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 MON module, check
the settings.
1) Replacing a module
