O/C E/F Relay & Time Coordination Relay Operation Time - 2 Actually our problem is to decide relay settings and not relay time of operations as shown previously Hence Unknowns are Relay PSM Relay TMS Whereas known facts are Relay placement and purpose of use Relay current during fault ( i.e. CT secondary current during fault. ) Relay desired time of operation. General Steps 1) Decide PSM 2) Find out fault current 3) Find out multiple of relay set current as per decided PSM in step-1 4) Find out time of operation for above multiple of current and TMS=1 using relay characteristic curve 5) Decide relay time of operation as per protection needs 6) Find out TMS = Required Time of operation /Time of operation with TMS =1

Basic Information – Selection of PSM E/F PSM generally selected as 30% ( Other than 30% settings may also be selected but about this discussed somewhere else in the presentation) For O/C PSM is selection depends upon place and purpose of use for example – 1.Transformer O/C protection a) Transformer HV or LV side O/C relay PSM settings should be in commensuration with transformer full load current and respective CT ratio such that PSM = T/F Full load current / CT ratio ( Generally expressed in %) b) For example for a 25 MVA transformer HV side full load current is 109 A if HV CT ratio is 200/1 Amp then PSM =109/200 ≈ 55% ( exact value 54.5%) c) For old type numerical relay it was not possible to go as near as possible to value calculated from above formula due to large steps available d) Under such condition it is decision as per local condition to select higher or lower nearest PSM e) In above example it is customary to select 50%, however due to this selection there is apparent loss of about 10% capacity of the T/F f) It is also possible to select 75% but load on transformer is to be monitored carefully ( and manually ) 2.For 220-132 kV feeder Here generally it is customary to select relay PSM as pera) Line conductor allowable loading limit b) CT primary normal current c) Substations capacity/normal load feed by the line d) Considering above facts it is very common to select 100% PSM for 132kV lines with CT ratio 400/1 Amp e) For 220kV lines with CT ratio 800/1 amp and conductor 0.4 ACSR or 0.525 AAAC it is 100% a)For 33-11kV feeder a) As per local feeder condition, load pattern and needs ranging between 50% to 100%
O/C E/F Relay & Time Coordination Relay Operation Time - 3 Desired time of operation will depend upon a) Equipment being protected b) Time discrimination from down stream protection (150 ms – 250 ms) c) Time of operation of main protection etc. • For transformer LV side protection it is common to adopt 250 ms as operating time. • This is so as to have 150 ms time discrimination from 100 ms relay time of operation for lower (feeder) protection. • When relays are used as backup protection of 132kV lines it’s time of operation shall be equal to Z-2 time of operation (300 – 350 ms). • Once these two things decided there remains only mathematical part

History of power system protection dates back nearly to the start of development of power system it self In real sense power system started growing due to invention of incandescent lamp by Edison during 1880 Edison was promoter of DC power system ( Why ? ) General Electric founded by him was main supplier of electricity in Newyork. Washington first introduced AC system with the advancement in transformer during 1887 During 1890 charls introduced symmetrical component analysis which helped in analyzing 3 ph. Power system and there by possible to design larger machines and power systems. Modern day power system came into existence from 1890 One of the patent of fuse is in the name of Edison Development of relays breakers and instrument transformers took place during 1890 to 1920 and modern day protection system came into existence. And during last century development of power system continuous to be there however main principles of power system protection are 3S and 1R remained same. Development of relays breakers and instrument transformers took place during 1890 to 1920 and modern day protection system came into existence.

O/C E/F Relay & Time Coordination General Requirements of Protective Scheme
• For any protective device following Functional Characteristic are important. – Sensitive – Selectivity – Speed – Reliability • ( Note:- 3 S & 1 R ) • As a improvement over simple fuses (in above areas) other protective devices get developed with the advancement of power system
Sensitivity is that property of protection system which enables it to distinguish between fault and no fault condition very correctly. As if we say that some animals are more sensitive than humans to natural disasters like earthquake. Where as selectivity is that property of the power system which enables it to isolate only the faulty part from healthy part. In this sense differential protection is most selective protection Once the fault detected by SENSITIVE system and area to be disconnected detected by SELECTIVE system then there comes the SPEED. This faulty section should be get cleared as early as possible. For EHV system Faults are once in blue moon. Hence this all above said things should happen RELIABELY even after 5-10 years from design and commissioning of the protection system.

O/C E/F Relay & Time Coordination Study of Time Co-ordination and its role in design of protection scheme.
• Over Current and Earth Fault Protection is used for – Protecting a equipment – Selective tripping of faulty section of the power system – Backing up the main protection
42
O/C E/F Relay & Time Coordination Role of Over Current Relay in Protecting the Equipment
• It is obvious that over current protective system should act and interrupt the fault current before to damage of equipment due to fault current through it. • Power system equipments include Line, Isolator, CT, Breaker, Transformer • Obviously Transformer is most costliest and delicate (for fault currents) equipment first we will consider its damage curve and decide parameters of protection system so that it should act fast enough to protect the transformer • This can be ascertained with the help of Damage Curve of the transformer and time-current curve of the protective system
43
O/C E/F Relay & Time Coordination Role of Over Current Protection in Selective Tripping
• It is obvious that only that part of the power system should get disconnected where the fault exists • Hence proper time co-ordination should be there so as to let the down stream protection should act fast enough and up-stream protection should give sufficient time for down stream protection to act • Otherwise un-necessary larger area get affected
44
O/C E/F Relay & Time Coordination Backup Protection
• When ever main protection fails to separate the faulty section backup protection take up this role • As such there is inherent time delay in operation of backup protection • This backup protection can be employed in main protection itself as additional function, but invariably it is employed as a separate relay to ensure it’s operation even if failure of quantities/links which are common to both functions such as– – – –

O/C E/F Relay & Time Coordination Back up protection
• EHV line faults are of sever nature from power system security and stability point of view. Hence must be cleared instantaneously • For this purpose distance relays which operates instantaneously (Z1) are employed for protection of EHV lines • For protection of EHV transformers differential and REF relays are employed which are also instantaneous
