Abstract: Protective relays and devices have been developed over 100 years ago to provide “last line” of defense for the electrical systems. They are intended to quickly identify a fault and isolate it so the balance of the system continue to run under normal conditions.
Overcurrent Protection for Phase and Earthfaults. 1. Introduction. Protection against excess current was naturally the earliest protection system to evolve. From this basic principle, the graded overcurrent system, a discriminative fault protection, has been developed.
Our equations cover both the fail-open and fail-short failure scenarios (fused, fuseless, and temporarily repaired banks). The paper also derives equations for calculating the degree of internal overvoltage that a failure puts on the healthy capacitor units in the bank. Next, we derive equations for the unbalance protection operating signals as
Magnitude of the asymmetry (transient component) depends on the phase of the generator voltage at the time of the fault. In this class, we will use the steady-state current component, , as our primary fault current metric. The reactance of the generator was assumed constant in the previous example.
Under normal circumstances, the three phase currents will sum to zero resulting in an output of zero from the Zero Sequence CT’s secondary. If one of the feeder phases were to shorted to ground, the sum of the phase currents would no longer equal zero causing a current to flow in the secondary of the zero sequence.
The protection relay adjustments are first calculated to provide the shortest tripping times at maximum fault currents and then verified to understand if tripping will also be acceptable at the minimum short circuit current anticipated.
