Page 86 This common voltage is implied to be a power supply common. Some systems allow the shield (drain wire) to be used as common wire and to connect directly to the L30 COM terminal (#3); others function correctly only if the common wire is connected to the L30 COM terminal, but insulated from the shield.
Page 87: Irig-B
IRIG-B is a standard time code format that allows stamping of events to be synchronized among connected devices. The IRIG-B code allows time accuracies of up to 100 ns. Using the IRIG-B input, the L30 operates an internal oscillator with 1 µs resolution and accuracy.
Page 88: Pilot Channel Communications
3.4 Pilot channel communications A special inter-relay communications module is available for the L30. This module is plugged into slot “W” in horizontally mounted units and slot “R” in vertically mounted units. Inter-relay channel communications is not the same as 10/ 100Base-F interface communications (available as an option with the CPU module).
Page 89: Fiber: Led And Eled Transmitters
CHAPTER 3: INSTALLATION PILOT CHANNEL COMMUNICATIONS All of the fiber modules use ST type connectors. For two-terminal applications, each L30 relay requires at least one communications channel. The current differential function must be “Enabled” for the communications module to properly operate. See the menu.

Selected records can be cleared from user-programmable conditions with FlexLogic operands. Assigning user- programmable pushbuttons to clear specific records is a typical application for these commands. Since the L30 responds to rising edges of the configured FlexLogic operands, they must be asserted for at least 50 ms to take effect.

This enables the relay to synchronize to the international time standard over an Ethernet network that implements PP.
Page 274 When a clock on start-up discovers that it is “better” than the present grandmaster, it assumes the grandmaster role and the previous grandmaster reverts to slave. The L30 qualification mechanism accepts a potential master clock as a new grandmaster, when in a four-second interval it has received three announce messages from it, all better than the present grandmaster clock and better than any other announce in this interval.

Page 528: Channel Asymmetry Compensation Using Gps
8.3 Channel asymmetry compensation using GPS 8.3.1 Introduction As indicated in the Settings chapter, the L30 provides three basic methods of applying channel asymmetry compensation using GPS. Channel asymmetry can also be monitored with actual values and an indication signalled (FlexLogic operands asserted) if channel asymmetry exceeds preset values.
Page 529: Compensation Method 2
CHANNEL ASYMMETRY COMPENSATION USING GPS If GPS is enabled at all terminals and the GPS signal is present, the L30 compensates for the channel asymmetry. On the loss of the GPS signal, the L30 stores the last measured value of the channel asymmetry per channel and compensates for the asymmetry until the GPS clock is available.
Page 530: Compensation Method 3
Create FlexLogic similar to that shown as follows to switch the 87L element to Settings Group 2 (with most sensitive settings) if the L30 has a valid GPS time reference. If a GPS or 87L communications failure occurs, the L30 switches back to Settings Group 1 with less sensitive settings.
Page 531: Instantaneous Elements
8.4.1 Instantaneous element error during L30 synchronization Two or three L30 relays are synchronized to each other and to system frequency to provide digital differential protection and accurate measurements for other protection and control functions. When an L30 system starts up, the relays adjust their frequency aggressively to bring all relays into synchronization with the system quickly.

Page 539: Theory Of Operation
The second major technical consideration is the restraint characteristic, which is the decision boundary between situations that are declared to be a fault and those that are not. The L30 uses an innovative adaptive decision process based on an online computation of the sources of measurement error. In this adaptive approach, the restraint region is an ellipse with variable major axis, minor axis, and orientation.
Page 540: L30 Architecture
CHAPTER 10: THEORY OF OPERATION The third major element of L30 design is sampling synchronization. In order for a differential scheme to work, the data being compared must be taken at the same time. This creates a challenge when data is taken at remote locations.
Page 541: Disturbance Detection
If more than one CT is connected to the relay (breaker-and-the half applications), then a maximum of all (up to four) currents is chosen to be processed for traditional restraint. L30 LINE CURRENT DIFFERENTIAL SYSTEM – INSTRUCTION MANUAL 10-3...
Page 542 Outside of the restraint boundary, the computed severity grows as the square of the fault current. The restraint area grows as the square of the error in the measurements. 10-4 L30 LINE CURRENT DIFFERENTIAL SYSTEM – INSTRUCTION MANUAL...
Page 543: Ground Differential Element
The line ground differential function allows sensitive ground protection for single-line-to-ground faults, allowing the phase differential element to be set higher (above load) to provide protection for multi-phase faults. The L30 ground differential function calculates ground differential current from all terminal phase currents. The maximum phase current is used for the restraint.
Page 544: Clock Synchronization
A loop filter then uses the frequency and phase angle deviation information to make fine adjustments to the clock frequency. Frequency tracking starts if the current at one or more terminals is above 0.125 pu of nominal; otherwise, the nominal frequency is used. 10-6 L30 LINE CURRENT DIFFERENTIAL SYSTEM – INSTRUCTION MANUAL...
Page 545: Frequency Detection
(GPS) to compensate for the channel delay asymmetry. This feature requires a GPS receiver to provide a GPS clock signal to the L30. With this option there are two clocks at each terminal: a local sampling clock and a local GPS clock.
Page 546: Phase Detection
In all cases, frequency deviation information also is used when available. The phase difference between a pair of clocks is computed by an exchange of time stamps. Each relay exchanges time stamps with all other relays that can be reached. 10-8 L30 LINE CURRENT DIFFERENTIAL SYSTEM – INSTRUCTION MANUAL...
Page 547 This can be done either in software or hardware, provided the jitter is limited to less than plus or minus 130 µs. A fixed bias in the time stamp is acceptable, provided it is the same for all terminals. L30 LINE CURRENT DIFFERENTIAL SYSTEM – INSTRUCTION MANUAL 10-9...
Page 548: Phase-Locking Filter
It is very important to combine these two integrators into a single function because it can be shown if two separate integrators are used, they can drift in opposite directions into saturation, because the loop would only drive their sum to zero. 10-10 L30 LINE CURRENT DIFFERENTIAL SYSTEM – INSTRUCTION MANUAL...

Page 550: Start-Up
10.1.16 Online estimate of measurement errors GE's adaptive elliptical restraint characteristic is a good approximation to the cumulative effects of various sources of error in determining phasors. Sources of error include power system noise, transients, inaccuracy in line charging current computation, current sensor gain, phase and saturation error, clock error, and asynchronous sampling.
Page 551: Ct Saturation Detection
The L30 applies a dedicated mechanism to cope with CT saturation and ensure security of protection for external faults. The relay dynamically increases the weight of the square of errors (the so-called ‘sigma’) portion in the total restraint quantity, but for external faults only.
Page 552: Charging Current Compensation
For short transmission lines the charging current is a small factor and can therefore be treated as an unknown error. In this application, the L30 can be deployed without voltage sensors and the line charging current is included as a constant term in the total variance, increasing the differential restraint current.
Page 553: Differential Element Characteristics
Since the zero sequence voltage is not available, the L30 cannot compensate for the zero sequence current. The compensation scheme continues to work with the breakers open, provided that the voltages are measured on the line side of the breakers.
Page 554: Relay Synchronization
CT errors can be high and/or CT saturation can be experienced. The major difference between the L30 differential scheme and a percent differential scheme is the use of an estimate of errors in the input currents to increase the restraint parameter during faults, permitting the use of more sensitive settings than those used in the traditional scheme.
Page 555: Operating Condition Characteristics
10.2 Operating condition characteristics 10.2.1 Description Characteristics of differential elements can be shown in the complex plane. The operating characteristics of the L30 are fundamentally dependant on the relative ratios of the local and remote current phasor magnitudes and the angles of I as shown in the Restraint Characteristics figure.

Page 557: Trip Decision Example
Current Differential section of the Settings chapter. The following figure shows how the L30 settings affect the restraint characteristics. The local and remote currents are 180° apart, which represents an external fault. The breakpoint between the two slopes indicates the point where the restraint area is becoming wider to override uncertainties from CT saturation, fault noise, harmonics, and so on.
Page 558: Fault Locator
