3 1. Introduction

4 UR Protection and Control Devices... Proven State of the Art Family of P&C Systems Common hardware Plug and play modules Reduced stock of spare parts Reduced maintenance cost Swappable modules Modular design that delivers unparalleled flexibility and fights obsolescence

5 2. Why Upgrading?

6 Lifespan of Digital Protection Relays Determining lifespan factors of any digital relays are based on environmental conditions, application of the relay and individual component age. Old relays may: Lower the reliability and process uptime Increase in service/maintenance costs Lower personnel safety Lower the electrical equipment lifespan Not comply with new requirements (i.e. smart grids) Have problem with replacing components unavailability due to obsolesce Typical lifespan Bathtub curve Infant Mortality Weak Solder joint; cracked ceramic caps or silicon die; Design margin issues Steady State Single event burnout; Silver/NiCr corrosion; Optoisolator/LED degradation; Airborn particles Wearout Electrolytic caps; solder joint fatigue; connector corrosion; Package delamination Proactive action is crucial Solution: Retrofit

7 UR Power Supply Life Expectancy Continuous Design Improvements 1H Power Supply > 2004 Design life 10 confirmed by field return data At 10 year point, the device failure rate is expected to increase at a rate of 1% per year Life of Electrolytic capacitors affected by heat and electrical stress Analog subsystem susceptible to failure of C27/C28 (8V Rail) (GER-4477) Failure of 27/C28 (8V Rail) may result in incorrect metering and false trip RH Power Supply > 2014 (Jun) Utilized newer Capacitor technology to increase design life of 15 At 15 year point, the device failure rate is expected to increase at a rate of 1% per year Added 200mS ride through capability KEMET Capacitor batch issue described in GER4012B (2005/2006) SH Power Supply 2014 (Jun) Eliminated C27/C28 & others, leaving only 1 long life reservoir capacitor for ride through Utilized new technology to give design life of 40 years 28% more output power, without increase in heat dissipation Micro controller on board to manage output rail sequencing Voltage rail monitoring to ensure analog & digital subsystems operate correctly

8 Solutions Retrofit by Replacing Cost of new relay, accessories and spare parts Re-engineering costs(new drawings, settings, trainings, tests, etc.) Panels modification costs(new cut-out, door, blank/drop-in plates, wiring, relocation, etc.) Service, maintenance and outage costs Months Months Days Days 1-2 Days Validate complete IED -New complete hardware -New complete Firmware Create new Engineering standards -Create new drawings -Create new settings files with reconfigured I/O -Create testing procedures -Retrain all staff on new IED & S/W Remove existing IED -Disconnect all wiring -Remove IED Create new panel cutout Install new IED -Install IED Reconnect all wiring -Test all wiring (point to-point) Commission new IED -Test all IED functions -Test all I/O from and to other devices and equipment -Test all wiring -Perform system tests

9 Solutions Retrofit by Upgrading Using UR Replacement kits No need to replace the relay Not offered by all vendors No panel modification needed Compatible with the existing protection and control system Limited service, maintenance and outage costs Enhanced functionalities and new generation relay features Relays more than almost 10-year old are concerned. Modular design provides seamless upgrades resulting in average savings of 50% on retrofit project.

12 3. Who Is Affected?

13 Upgrade Recommendation Upgrade recommended for UR Devices 10 years and older The recommended replacement for UR relays (versions 3.5 or below): CPU versions T, U, V DSP versions L, M, N, R, S Firmware versions: 7.xx and above If existing standards dictate other versions, they can be offered. CPU and DSP modules have to be changed, i.e. version 3 DSP s are not compatible with later versions. UR Relays with Firmware 3.5 and below CPU Cross Reference UR 3 CPU A C D Recommended UR 7 CPU T, U or V. If 2 serial ports required, UR 9E T or U T or U UR Relays with Firmware 3.5 DSP Cross Reference UR 3 DSP Recommended UR 7 DSP 8A 8L 8B 8M 8C 8N 8D 8R 13 UR Upgrade Program 9/9/2015
