side.
2.2.6 AVR Relay shall be in compliance with IEC 61850

2.3 Operating Voltage for RTCC
The control scheme for RTCC shall be 110 Vac operated. The 110 Vac (55V-0-55V)

2.6.1 Master-Automatic Mode
Raise and lower commands from the local AVR Relay are used to effect
changes in the locally controlled tap changer and the tap changer of the
transformer being operated in parallel.

2.6.2 Master-Manual Mode

changes in the locally controlled tap changer.

transformer is not actually being operated in parallel with another transformer
and RTCCs operating in Master/Follower modes will be automatically reset
to Independent mode if the paralleling condition is broken.
2.7.2 Selection of Independent mode on either a Master or Follower mode RTCC

shall force the paralleled transformer’s RTCCs to Independent mode.
2.7.3 Selection of a Follower mode RTCC to Master shall cause the existing
Master RTCC to be forced to Follower mode if the transformers are operating
in parallel.
2.7.4 Independent-Automatic mode selection and/or operation shall not be possible

2.8 SCADA Control of RTCC
2.8.1 If either the RTCC Local/Supervisory selector switch is selected to

“LOCAL” or the OLTC LCC Local/Off/Remote switch is selected to
“LOCAL” or “OFF”, no control from SCADA is available.
2.8.2 If RTCC Local/Supervisory selector switch is selected to “SUPERVISORY”

and the OLTC LCC selector switch is set to “REMOTE”, then control of the
RTCC cubicle shall be accessed through SCADA.
2.8.3 Control is achieved by selecting the Auto/Manual (AVR In/Out) selection

relay to “MANUAL”. When selected to “MANUAL” (AVR Out), the raise
and lower functions of the AVR are blocked and the red indicating LED
labeled “MANUAL” is illuminated. When selected to “AUTO” (AVR In),
the raise and lower function shall be through AVR and LED labeled “AUTO”
is illuminated.

mode.
2.8.6 Once SCADA has selected to “MANUAL” (AVR Out), the tap position can
be manually raised or lowered in Master or Independent modes. Tap changer
operation shall be in such a way that a SCADA raise command corresponds
to a raise in the tap position and a raise in the transformer low side voltage.
2.8.7 SCADA requirements shall be as per TES-P-119.27.
2.9 Local Control of RTCC
2.9.1 If either the RTCC Local/Supervisory switch is selected to SUPERVISORY

ii) Voltage measured on the respective 13.8 kV buses as specified vide cases I-
IV below.
1. CASE-I

Transformer T-1 measured HV side is above the set value of reactive power
(MVAr-1) and the duration of this reactive power exceeds the set value of

(MVAr-2) and the duration of the reactive power below this set value exceeds
the set value of time (t2), the Capacitor Bank -1 (C-1) shall be switchd OFF or
remain in OFF position.

and the duration of this reactive power exceeds the set value of time (t1). If the
reactive power measured is below the measured value of reactive power (MVAr-
2) and the duration of this reactive power below the set value exceeds the set
value of time (t2), then the Capacitor Bank-2 (C-2) shall be switched OFF or
2. CASE-II

value of time (t6), then the Capacitor Bank-2 (C-2) shall be switched OFF or
3. CASE-III (OVER VOLTAGE CONTROL)
Automatic switching OFF of the Capacitor banks shall be performed based on

the voltage measured on the respective bus; i.e when the bus voltage measures
higher operating voltage (13.8 kV – 16 kV). The Capacitor banks shall be
switched OFF when the measured value of voltage is above the set value of
voltage (V-1) and duration exceeds the set value of time (t-9). This requirement
shall be fulfilled even superseding the conditions of CASES I & II above.
4. CASE-IV (UNDER VOLTAGE CONTROL)
Automatic switching ON of the Capacitor banks shall be performed based on

the voltage measured on the respective bus; ie when the bus voltage measures
lower operating voltage (13.8 kV – 12 kV). The Capacitor banks shall be
switched ON when the measured value of voltage is below the set value of
voltage (V-2) & duration of time exceeeds the set value of time (t10). This
requirement shall be fulfilled even when superseding the conditions of CASES
I & II above.
ACCS shall also be provided with a facility to modify the setting and/or
bypass/deactivate the settings, as required. The minimum inputs to the ACCS

tie CBs, each 13.8 kV incomer voltage, each 13.8 kV bus voltage, each
Capacitor bank bus voltage, each Power Transformer’s VAR readings on the
HV side, and status of lockout relays of incomer CB(s)/Capacitor CB(s).
Provision for unbalanced protection shall also be incorporated. ACCS shall
prevent undesired switching in case of transient under voltage conditions.
When 13.8 kV incomer (Transformer) CB is switched OFF, the associated

Capacitor banks shall be switched OFF before 13.8 kV bus section CB is
switched ON .
The CB of the Capacitor bank once switched OFF shall not switch ON within
10 minutes. Auto / Manual and Local / Remote selection shall be provided for
the ACCS. In any case the 13.8 kV incomer breakers of Transformers T-1 or
T-2 shall be switched ON , the associated Capacitor shall not switch ON within
10 minutes.
The ACCS shall prevent undesired switching ON operation of CBs of

associated Capacitor banks in any one of the following cases.
i. 13.8 kV Bus fault

ii 13.8 kV Capacitor feeder unclear faults (main feeder CB or dedicated
Capacitor feeder CB lockout relay operates)
iii 13.8 kV Bus tie lockout operates
Auto/Manual and Local/Remote selection shall be provided for the ACCS
4.2.6 RANGE OF SETTINGS
a. MVAr Setting Ranges
