Objective

• We are here to help make your job easier. This is very informal and designed around ISO Applications. Please ask question. We are not here to “preach” to you.

• The knowledge base on GE Multilin Relays varies greatly at ISO. If you have a question, there is a good chance there are 3 or 4 other people that have the same question. Please ask it.

Desirable Protection Attributes

• Reliability: System operate properly– Security: Don’t trip when you shouldn’t– Dependability: Trip when you should

• Selectivity: Trip the minimal amount to clear the fault or abnormal operating condition

• Speed: Usually the faster the better in terms of minimizing equipment damage and maintaining system integrity

• Simplicity: KISS

• Economics: Don’t break the bank

Page 13: Electrical Protection Basics

13GE Consumer & Industrial

Selection of protective relays requires compromises:

• Maximum and Reliable protection at minimum equipment cost

• High Sensitivity to faults and insensitivity to maximum load currents

• High-speed fault clearance with correct selectivity

• Selectivity in isolating small faulty area

• Ability to operate correctly under all predictable power system conditions

• Cost of protective relays should be balanced against risks involved if protection is not sufficient and not enough redundancy.

• Primary objectives is to have faulted zone’s primary protection operate first, but if there are protective relays failures, some form of backup protection is provided.

• Backup protection is local (if local primary protection fails to clear fault) and remote (if remote protection fails to operate to clear fault)

Primary Equipment & ComponentsPrimary Equipment & Components• Transformers - to step up or step down voltage level

• Breakers - to energize equipment and interrupt fault current

to isolate faulted equipment

• Insulators - to insulate equipment from ground and other

phases

• Isolators (switches) - to create a visible and permanent

isolation of primary equipment for maintenance purposes

and route power flow over certain buses.

• Bus - to allow multiple connections (feeders) to the same

source of power (transformer).

Primary Equipment & ComponentsPrimary Equipment & Components• Grounding - to operate and maintain equipment safely

• Arrester - to protect primary equipment of sudden

overvoltage (lightning strike).

• Switchgear – integrated components to switch, protect,

meter and control power flow

• Reactors - to limit fault current (series) or compensate for

charge current (shunt)

• VT and CT - to measure primary current and voltage and

supply scaled down values to P&C, metering, SCADA, etc.

• Operate region lies above selected curve, while no-operate region lies below it

• Inverse curves can approximate fuse curve shapes

1. Overlap is accomplished by the locations of CTs, the key source for protective relays.

2. In some cases a fault might involve a CT or a circuit breaker itself, which means it can not be cleared until adjacent breakers (local or remote) are opened.

• Current transformers are used to step primary system currents to values usable by relays, meters, SCADA, transducers, etc.

• CT ratios are expressed as primary to secondary; 2000:5, 1200:5, 600:5, 300:5

• A 2000:5 CT has a “CTR” of 400

• IEEE relay class is defined in terms of the voltage a CT can deliver at 20 times the nominal current rating without exceeding a 10% composite ratio error.

For example, a relay class of C100 on a 1200:5 CT means that the CT can develop 100 volts at 24,000 primary amps (1200*20) without exceeding a 10% ratio error. Maximum burden = 1 ohm.

100 V = 20 * 5 * (1ohm)

200 V = 20 * 5 * (2 ohms)

400 V = 20 * 5 * (4 ohms)

800 V = 20 * 5 * (8 ohms)

Equipment Grounding

– Prevents shock exposure of personnel– Provides current carrying capability for the

ground-fault current– Grounding includes design and construction of

substation ground mat and CT and VT safety grounding

System Grounding

– Limits overvoltages– Limits difference in electric potential through local

area conducting objects– Several methods

• Ungrounded• Reactance Coil Grounded • High Z Grounded• Low Z Grounded• Solidly Grounded

Page 56: Electrical Protection Basics

68GE Consumer & Industrial

1. Ungrounded: There is no intentional ground applied to the system-however it’s grounded through natural capacitance. Found in 2.4-15kV systems.

2. Reactance Grounded: Total system capacitance is cancelled by equal inductance. This decreases the current at the fault and limits voltage across the arc at the fault to decrease damage.

X0 <= 10 * X1

3. High Resistance Grounded: Limits ground fault current to 10A-20A. Used to limit transient overvoltages due to arcing ground faults.

R0 <= X0C/3, X0C is capacitive zero sequence reactance

4. Low Resistance Grounded: To limit current to 25-400A

R0 >= 2X0

commercial and utility applications• Covers a variety of actual uses, including motor

control, distribution panels and outdoor switchyards

• The term "switchgear" is plural, even when referring to a single switchgear assembly (never say, "switchgears")

• May be a described in terms of use:– "the generator switchgear" – "the stamping line switchgear"

A Good Day in System Protection……

– CTs and VTs bring electrical info to relays– Relays sense current and voltage and declare

fault– Relays send signals through control circuits to

circuit breakers– Circuit breaker(s) correctly trip

What Could Go Wrong Here????

Page 68: Electrical Protection Basics

92GE Consumer & Industrial

Multilin

A Bad Day in System Protection……

– CTs or VTs are shorted, opened, or their wiring is– Relays do not declare fault due to setting errors,

faulty relay, CT saturation– Control wires cut or batteries dead so no signal is

sent from relay to circuit breaker– Circuit breakers do not have power, burnt trip coil

or otherwise fail to trip

Protection Systems Typically are Designed for N-1

Arc Flash Hazard

Page 83: Electrical Protection Basics

123GE Consumer & Industrial

Arc Flash Mitigation:Problem Description

– An electric arc flash can occur if a conductive object gets too close to a high-amp current source or by equipment failure (ex., while opening or closing disconnects, racking out)• The arc can heat the air to temperatures as high as 35,000 F, and

vaporize metal in equipment • The arc flash can cause severe skin burns by direct heat exposure

and by igniting clothing• The heating of the air and vaporization of metal creates a pressure

wave (arc blast) that can damage hearing and cause memory loss (from concussion) and other injuries.

• Flying metal parts are also a hazard.

Page 84: Electrical Protection Basics

124GE Consumer & Industrial

Multilin

Methods to Reduce Arc Flash Hazard

– Arc flash energy may be expressed in I2t terms, so you can decrease the I or decrease the t to lessen the energy

– Protective relays can help lessen the t by optimizing sensitivity and decreasing clearing time• Protective Relay Techniques

– Other means can lessen the I by limiting fault current• “Non-Protective Relay Techniques”

Page 85: Electrical Protection Basics

125GE Consumer & Industrial

Multilin

Non-Protective Relaying Methods of Reducing Arc Flash Hazard

– System design modifications increase power transformer impedance• Addition of phase reactors• Faster operating breakers• Splitting of buses

– Current limiting fuses (provides partial protection only for a limited current range)

– Electronic current limiters (these devices sense overcurrent and interrupt very high currents with replaceable conductor links (explosive charge)

– Arc-resistant switchgear (this really doesn't reduce arc flash energy; it deflects the energy away from personnel)

– Optical arc flash protection via fiber sensors

– Optical arc flash protection via lens sensors

Page 86: Electrical Protection Basics

126GE Consumer & Industrial

Multilin

Protective Relaying Methods of Reducing Arc Flash Hazard

– Bus differential protection (this reduces the arc flash energy by reducing the clearing time

– Zone interlock schemes where bus relay selectively is allowed to trip or block depending on location of faults as identified from feeder relays

– Temporary setting changes to reduce clearing time during maintenance • Sacrifices coordination

– FlexCurve for improved coordination opportunities

– Employ 51VC/VR on feeders fed from small generation to improve sensitivity and coordination

– Employ UV light detectors with current disturbance detectors for selective gear tripping
