Reference phase identification
DONE Selected reference voltage ID :
Check at site the relevant “as-built” documentation with Powerlink L2 (PH/N) <=> L2
representative in order to clearly identify WHICH electrical phase (L1/L2/L3,
0/4/8, 4/8/12, A/B/C, R/YB, R/W/B….) has been selected to feed the PoW
controller with a reference voltage.
It is your responsibility to check whether this reference voltage is well:
6
- a PHASE-TO-NEUTRAL AC voltage (it is STRICTLY FORBIDDEN to
use a PHASE-PHASE voltage instead !)
- delivered by the SOURCE-SIDE Voltage Transformer, i.e. this AC

voltage must be available at CSD input before any CB closing / opening
command gets sent.
Load-side voltages
DONE
Review at site the relevant “as-built” documentation with Powerlink
7 representative in order to check whether the 3 AC load-side voltages feeding
the PoW controller are well PHASE-TO-NEUTRAL voltages (it is STRICTLY
FORBIDDEN to use a PHASE-PHASE voltage instead !)
CT connection polarity
DONE
Review at site the relevant “as-built” documentation with Powerlink
8 representative in order to check whether the 6 wired connections from the CT
outputs to the PoW controller inputs are properly oriented. For some
applications the disrespect of current polarity might lead dramatic effects.

2 INTEGRATION CHECK INTO THE BAY PROTECTION & CONTROL SYSTEM

DC source inspection check
DONE
PoW controller commissioning cannot be started in case the FINAL DC source (battery) is
not yet available at site.
1
The use of a diesel generator or any similar temporary power source is NOT PERMITTED.
Check at site that the DC source feeding the PoW for CB coils control is well the FINAL
DC source (battery).
PoW controller versus Protection relays / auto-recloser / synchro-coupler

DONE
Reminder: a PoW controller is NOT A PROTECTION RELAY
Hence it shall receive CB opening and/or closing commands from the Bay Control Unit
(BCU), but NOT from any emergency protection device like protection relays or post-
fault auto-recloser.
Furthermore PoW controller is dedicated to CB operations FAST synchronization

(Controlled Switching) upon intentional switching command as issued from the Bay
Control Unit (BCU) in order to mitigate switching transients (overvoltages, inrush
currents).
This feature shall NOT be confused with Synchro-coupling (SLOW synchronization)

2 whose purpose is to issue a CB closing command in order to interconnect 2 power
systems as soon as their frequency and phase shift appear to be synchron.
OK NOT OK
Check on the bay P&C diagram that this basic principle is well respected prior to go on with PoW
commissioning.
Page 12 of 65
CP.01561
DT1-362-F3 C05-Q20
PoW controller bypass
DONE
Under particular circumstances it might be required to perform UNCONTROLLED
switching of the circuit breaker, for instance (non-exhaustive list):
- Circuit breaker maintenance

- Sole circuit breaker erection & commissioning
- First energization of a substation from a line whose feeding CB is to be
PoW controlled
- Need to switch the CB located in the middle of a “one and a half”
arrangement
- PoW device disorder (damaged)
- PoW control temporarily not possible (missing reference voltage, DC
voltage out of range, etc.)
- …
In order to address such cases, the design of the Protection & Control system
shall include a “bypass” circuit as shown below:
Check at site with P&C engineering staff (Powerlink) that such a bypass circuit is
well included in the system and review its active conditions (manual / automatic).
WARNING:
A safe and reliable bypass circuit ensures that ANY PHYSICAL CONNECTION IS
INTERRUPTED between the PoW controller outputs and the circuit breaker coils
when the bypass is active.
Page 13 of 65
CP.01561
DT1-362-F3 C05-Q20

PoW control and transformer NO-LOAD condition
DONE
Controlled switching on a transformer bay makes sense *ONLY* when the
concerned transformer is in NO-LOAD condition as shown below:
Open LAST Open FIRST

Close FIRST Close LAST
transformer
CT
load VT
PoW
source VT
interlocks
BCU
The bay Protection & Control system shall include some logics (interlocks…)
ensuring that this condition is well checked prior that CB opening / closing
4 commands reach the PoW controller.
Check at site with P&C engineering staff (Powerlink) that such a logics is well
included in the bay P&C system.
WARNING:
As soon as any impedance is solidly connected to the transformer that can’t be
switched OFF, the NO-LOAD condition of the transformer cannot be ensured and
therefore the concerned PoW configuration settings shall be adjusted according to
the concerned impedance (line capacitance in the below example):

to moving forward (check out the CSD100 web HMI
“measurements” page to identify which alarms are currently ON
that are driving the monostable/watchdog contact).
Useful reminder:
Among most common causes for monostable/watchdog contact
to be ON and drive the bypass relay(s), check out below listed
basics:
1. Both DC polarities “DC1” and “DC2” must be measured by CSD100
device inside the allowed range (as defined in web HMI
“settings/Alarms” page)
2. An AC reference voltage must be applied on CSD100 (X9 socket)
that is well inside the allowed ranges of magnitude and frequency (as
defined in web HMI “settings/Alarms” page)
3. The current date and time must have been properly adjusted (web
HMI page “System/Date and Time”)

As-built link electrical phases  CB poles  PoW controller inputs/outputs
DONE
Connection cables between the PoW controller and the breaker’s Local Control Cubicle
might have been installed by non-specialists, as well as cables between LCC and drives.
14
Hence connections might have been unexpectedly swapped between poles along any of
the junction blocks, thus impairing PoW control.
It is your responsibility, as a Point-on-Wave controller commissioner, to detect and fix

such troubles so that the final “as built” arrangement gets clearly identified and reported
below, linking electrical phases on one hand (e.g. R / Y / B), circuit breaker poles on the
other hand (e.g. poles A / B / C), as well as CSD100 inputs/outputs (aux. contacts/coils
driving) e.g. L1 / L2 / L3.

DONE
1. Make sure that your circuit breaker is in CLOSED POSITION (important

!)
If not, close it (either locally from LCC or via PoW bypass circuit)
2. Temporarily disconnect the PNT tripping relay (“Phases Not Together”,
also named “Poles discrepancy”), in order to allow CB poles to be
operated ONE BY ONE:

NOTE:
In case this relay would be outside the CB cubicle (e.g. in a
protection relay function), an agreement is required to
temporarily disable this auto-tripping feature.
3. Temporarily disconnect wires from X14:3, X14:5, X15:3 and X15:5 pins
as shown below, so that the device cannot drive opening and closing
coils of phases L2 (L2) and L3 (L3):

4 CIRCUIT BREAKER MECHANICAL TIMINGS FINGERPRINT
Once the CSD100 has been fully erected and its connections duly tested, CB actual mechanical timings must be accurately
measured at site as per the below setup and procedure (a “CB timing analyzer” typ. Megger TM1800 or equivalent is required).
WARNINGS:
1. such a breaker timings measurement is mandatory upon CSD100 SAT: any set of previous
measurements performed without properly configured CSD100 in the circuit must NOT be
considered.
2. Such measurements cannot be started in case the FINAL DC source (battery) is not yet
available at site. The use of a diesel generator or any similar temporary power source is NOT
PERMITTED.
3. Since PoW controlled operations are mandatorily required for this timings measurement, it is
MANDATORY that CSD100 controller has previously been duly configured and fully connected
to the circuit breaker before starting i.e. ALL STEPS of the above section #3 MUST HAVE
BEEN COMPLETED.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY for SPECIFIC MEASUREMENTS:
In any case such a measurement requires preliminary EHS induction as per applicable safety
standards as well as site owner’s safety rules and GE safety rules for insulating, earthing and de-
insulating HV equipments as per the below sequence:
1. Open, lock-out and tag-out the series disconnector (to isolate the breaker from the HV grid)
2. Check the absence of voltage at the 3 grid-side breaker HV terminals
3. Safely earth the 3 grid-side breaker HV terminals (using either an earthing switch or earthing
cable + insulated stick) and securely lock them
Page 43 of 65
CP.01561
DT1-362-F3 C05-Q20
4. Check the absence of voltage at the 3 load-side breaker HV terminals

5. Safely earth the 3 load-side breaker HV terminals (using either an earthing switch or earthing
cable + insulated stick) and securely lock them
6. Temporarily remove (switch OFF) the breaker load-side earthing connections.
7. Temporarily connect the breaker load-side HV contacts to the CB timing device (chrono-
analyzer).
8. Perform 5x breaker closing + 5x breaker opening
9. Safely restore the breaker load-side earthing connections
10. Safely remove the temporary wires to HV terminals and LV signals
11. Safely remove all earthing connections from the breaker HV terminals
NOTE:
A MEWP (Mobile Elevating Working Platform) is required to connect

wires to breaker HV terminals in case switchable earthing pads +
HV insulating sticks would not available.
In such a case, a qualified driver for MEWP is obviously also

required as well as earthed anti-falling harnesses (IPE).

5 DRY SWITCHING FUNCTIONAL TESTS
Once the CSD100 has been fully erected, actual wirings duly tested and CB mechanical measurements measured as expected,
the next step consists in:
 Uploading your final settings (including measured mechanical timings) to the device memory
 Operating the breaker via CSD100 for 1x controlled opening + 1x controlled closing while the bay is kept in DRY
conditions (disconnectors OFF, earthing switches ON).
 Check the consistency of related archive records (no alarm, measured timings vs. forecasted timings, etc.)

Operate the breaker via CSD100 : 1x OPEN + 1x CLOSE
DONE
1. Ensure that a reference voltage is being injected and the bypass relay is
OFF
2. Perform a POW-controlled opening of the CB (i.e. via CSD100)
3. Wait approx. 10 seconds
1 4. Perform a POW controlled closing of the CB (i.e. via CSD100)
NOTE:
Where possible, operate the CB from the Bay Controlling Unit
(BCU) rather than using temporary wirings or applying DC
polarity to the CSD100 input pins.
Page 46 of 65
CP.01561
DT1-362-F3 C05-Q20
Check out CSD100 records consistency (1x DRY POW open + 1x DRY POW close)
DONE
1. Load both records into the software “CSD100 Records Viewer”, and
check that both are well marked as “POW CONTROLLED”:
2. Check that the 3 poles well got switched:
3. analyse both opening and closing records in order to check that:

4.1. Current rising instant is not delayed from CSD100 output activation
instant:
4.2. Measured mechanical opening/closing times are in line with

expectations, both within allowed duration range and within applicable
tolerance.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
In case of a mismatch, it is MANDATORY to identify and clear the root cause(s) out prior to move
forward.
no alarm was unexpectedly trigged depicting a mechanical misbehaviour:
Some other alarms might get trigged upon these switchings, that are not linked to the CB mechanical behaviour.
Depending on the bay specificities, some of these alarms might be ignored, among which (but not limited to):
In particular, the below alarms might get raised upon dry POW controlled opening if some AC current is getting injected:

Page 48 of 65
CP.01561
DT1-362-F3 C05-Q20
Adjust the coil energy detection thresholds
DONE
1. Using the Records Viewer software (“Measurements” view), note down
the amount of energy that was transmitted to each breaker opening coil
and closing coil upon these 1x POW opening + 1x POW closing as shown
below:
2. Adjust accordingly the corresponding detection threholds in the CSD100

software settings (web HMI):
The recommended value for each threshold is approx. 30% of the average coil energy that has been measured upon the
corresponding POW controlled switching
3. Click the “Apply” button on the top-right corner to store new values.
Page 49 of 65
CP.01561
DT1-362-F3 C05-Q20
Reset operations counters and reignitions counters
DONE
1. Browse the web HMI “Settings/Mechanical” page and assign to each of
the “uncontrolled” operation counters the current value that is
displayed on the mechanical counter inside each mechanical drive:
2. Reset to ZERO all other counters (controlled switchings + re-ignitions):
3. Click the “Apply” button on the top-right corner to store new values.

6 ADAPTIVE CONTROL INITIALIZING & STABILIZING
Depending on the HV switching application, adaptive control might or not be required.
By default it is recommended to activate this feature in case the breaker would be operated quite often (typ. ≥ 10 times /
month).
Since adaptive control feature is DISABLED in your specific case, you can move to next chapter.

7 LIVE SWITCHING PERFORMANCE TESTS
This section aims to describe in a step-by-step approach the acceptance tests to be performed on each concerned Controlled
Switching System (CSS = CSD + circuit breaker) in the concerned bay “C05-Q20”.

Prepare initial conditions
Be sure that the breaker is kept in OPEN position.
DONE
Be sure that the CSD100 controller is NOT BYPASSED.
Be sure that the residual flux level in the CSD100 memory is well reset to ZERO p.u. on each phase (HMI web page
"Settings/Mechanical"):
De-isolate breaker “T2_Transformer” (earthing switches OFF, disconnectors ON) so that next closing will well energize
the transformer.
Be sure that the concerned transformer is in NO-LOAD CONDITION:
EXAMPLE: BAY INITIAL CONFIGURATION BEFORE STARTING LIVE TESTS

CP.01561
DT1-362-F3 C05-Q20

Energize + de-energize the transformer via CSD100 (fixed angles strategy)
DONE
1. Close the CB via CSD100 from the BCU (Bay Control Unit), as per Powerlink
standard procedure.
EXPECTED INRUSH CURRENT LEVEL: 0.1 to 0.5 p.u.

REMINDER:
√2. rated transformer power in kVA

1 p. u. = [A peak]
√3. actual RMS PH − PH voltage in kV
Example:
375 MVA transformer under 275 kV RMS ph-ph  1 p.u. = 1113 A peak.
3 2. Wait > 5 minutes (for flux stabilization in the transformer core).
3. Open the CB via CSD100 from the BCU (as per Powerlink standard procedure) in
order to switch the transformer OFF (still in NO-LOAD condition).
Such a controlled switch OFF is mandatory for transformer core demagnetization (

residual magnetic flux ~0 Wb).

CP.01561
DT1-362-F3 C05-Q20
Analyze the voltage waveforms and adjust CSD100 settings accordingly (CLOSING)
DONE
1. On recorded closing voltage waveforms, note the “making time error” as displayed by
the CSD100 Records Viewer on the FIRST phase to get closed (L2-N load voltage
in this case), i.e. the time delay from the targeted instant to the actually achieved
making instant :
This time delta is due to the combination of several contributions:
- Mechanical error (breaker pole mechanical scatter): displayed in the

4
“measurements” view.
- Dielectrical error (targeted pre-arcing time vs. measured pre-arcing time): this
residual error is due to the delta between the theoretical value of the pole
RDDS* and its actual value (depending on actual gaz pressure, closing velocity
and high voltage conditions of magnitude and frequency)
- IF this time delta is mainly due to a mechanical error

THEN no change is to be made on the switching strategy (targeted pre-arcing
times kept unchanged) and the cause(s) of this mechanical misbehaviour is to be
identified and fixed (roll back to DRY switching tests, chapter #6)
- ELSE (making error mainly due to dielectrical behaviour)
the value of the targeted pre-arcing time (Tpa) shall be adjusted accordingly as
follows.
adjust the targeted pre-arcing times for next controlled closings in CSD100 software
settings using this measured time delta as follows:
- IF actual making occurred EARLIER than the target

THEN the value of targeted Tpa shall be INCREASED by +/- measured delta for
the FIRST phase to get closed (L2, phase L2).
- ELSE (actual making occurred LATER than the target)
the value of targeted Tpa shall be DECREASED by +/- measured delta for the
FIRST phase to get closed (L2, phase L2).
- FINALLY, the targeted pre-arcing time for both other phases (L1 & L3) shall be
calculated as :
√3
TpaL1 = TpaL3 = . TpaL2

CP.01561
DT1-362-F3 C05-Q20
Repeat steps 3 & 4 up to finding the optimal value of targeted pre-arcing time
DONE
Repeat steps #3 & #4 above with updated value of targeted pre-arcing times, up to
when inrush currents get:
- Low enough regarding the applicable acceptance criterion (typically < 1 p.u.)
- Statistically repeatable along > 3 consecutive closings
Practically:
- 2 - 3 LIVE consecutive controlled closings shall be required

- WORST-CASE INRUSH CURRENTS SHALL NOT EXCEED 1 P.U. (upon
the first attempt) and shall fall down BELOW 0.5 P.U. upon successive
attempts

Estimate actual RDDS
DONE
use the optimal value of targeted pre-arcing time (as obtained above on the FIRST
POLE to get closed (i.e. L2 i.e. L2) to estimate its ACTUAL RDDS value thanks to
the below formula:
where:
- RDDS is the Rate of Decrease of Dielectric Strength (in kV/ms) of the
concerned pole (in this case L2 i.e. L2)
Page 56 of 65

DT1-362-F3 C05-Q20
- (in ms) is the optimal value of the targeted pre-arcing time as obtained
in step 5 above for pole L2 i.e. L2

Prepare CSD100 settings for a dynamic management of the residual flux
Done
1. Browse the CSD100 web HMI ("Settings/Transformer") to switch from a STATIC to a DYNAMIC
management of the transformer residual flux:
2. Enter the CB specific characteristics: (per pole RDDS, mechanical scatter, number of “idle half-
cycles” to be inserted between the 1st making instant and the remaining one(s) for a spread
sequence, etc.):
3. Reset the current residual flux level to 0 p.u. on each phase:
Page 58 of 65
CP.01561
DT1-362-F3 C05-Q20
4. Do not forget to apply changes:
NOTE #1: a value of TWO half-cycles is recommended by default as a good compromise between:
 A too long duration that might cause a protection trip (poles discrepancy…)
 A too short duration that might alter the PoW inrush currents mitigation in case the PH-N
capacitance of an underground cable would oscillate with the respective transformer
windings:
The capacitance of an underground cable might resonate with transformer windings.
NOTE #2: it is recommended to keep unchanged the default proposed RMS thresholds for residual
flux computation (by default 25% of rated PH-N RMS voltage at transformer-side VT outputs):
Page 59 of 65
CP.01561
DT1-362-F3 C05-Q20
For a cross-check of proper settings after upload completion, you might browse the “Measurements”
page of the CSD100 web HMI and check there the target points as automatically prepared by
CSD100 for the next controlled closing: they shall match the ones in case of a "fixed angles"
strategy with initial residual flux level = 0 p.u. (i.e. 540°/90°/540° resp. for L1 / L2 / L3 in this
case):
NOTE: a slight difference of +/- 5° el. might be observed between theoretical targets for an ideal
breaker and computed targets, due to the finite RDDS setting value.
