PRAKATA DARI NAIB PRESIDEN (PENGHANTARAN)
Buku TNB Transmission Protection and Control Code of Practice Edisi Pertama yang diterbitkan
enam tahun dahulu pada Mac 1995 memberi garis panduan amalan system perlindungan dan
kawalan tempatan sistem penghantaran TNB. Seperti yang diharapkan, buku ini perlu dikemaskini
dari masa ke masa mengikut perkembangan sistem dan perkembangan teknologi. Edisi kedua ini
merupakan dokumen amalan bukan sahaja untuk sistem penghantaran TNB, malah merangkumi
sistem penjanaan, penghantaran dan pembahagian TNB. Struktur dokumen ini juga berbeza dari
Edisi Pertama. Polisi atau dasar di mana amalan asas dinyatakan supaya amalan dan keperluan
dapat difahami dan dihayati.
Berbeza dengan dokumen yang asal yang memberi maklumat dalam bentuk menyerupai spesifikasi
sistem dan peralatan, dokumen ini menyatakan amalan dalam bentuk yang ringkas. Kehendakkehendak teknikal yang lebih terperinci di buat dalam bentuk Garispanduan Teknikal dan Spesifikasi
Teknikal yang telah dan akan disediakan kelak.
Saya berharap, Edisi Kedua yang dinamakan TNB Protection and Control Code of Practice akan
digunakan sebagai bahan rujukan dalam merekabentuk sistem perlindungan dan kawalan tempatan
bagi sistem Penjanaan, Penghantaran dan Pembahagian TNB. Ianya juga di harap dapat
menyeragamkan amalan-amalan di dalam sistem tenaga TNB.
Akhir kata, saya ingin mengucapkan syabas dan tahniah serta terima kasih kepada kesemua jurutera
dan anggota kerja yang terlibat dalam penerbitan buku ini. Usaha gigih yang dilaksanakan oleh
Kumpulan-Kumpulan Kerja yang berkenaan dalam membuat kajian, penyusunan dan pengumpulan
maklumat dan data adalah disanjungi. Diharap usaha-usaha diteruskan untuk mengulangkaji
dokumen ini dari masa ke semasa.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
1. Background
The first TNB Transmission Protection and Control Code of Practice (COP) describes the
requirements of protection and control for TNB transmission only. It is primarily used as
reference and guidelines for the preparation of tender specification for construction of
TNB substation.
This reviewed document segregates the basic practices from the detail requirements for
easy understanding, and also as a reference to detailed designs of TNB protection system.
Unlike the previous document, which does not cover the generation and distribution
sections, this reviewed document also includes the protection and control policies for all
TNB core businesses i.e. the generation, transmission and distribution sections.
2. Objective
The primary objective is to standardise the policies, schemes and practices on the
protection, control and their supporting equipment for TNB generation, transmission and
distribution systems.
3. Assumption
Basic electrical engineering, protection and control knowledge is required for the
understanding of this document.
4. References
The following standards and engineering practice documents have been the references for
formulating this COP;
1. COP 1st Edition - March 1995,
2. TEPCO Study Group No. 2: Technical Recommendations,
3. Confrence Internationale des Grands Reseaux Electriques (CIGRE),

3.
2. Definitions
1.
Substations form vital nodes in high voltage systems. They are used in transmission
network for transporting high power using high voltage levels often over larger
distances, while the distribution networks cover shorter distances with much lower
voltage levels.
In TNB power system, the transmission voltage levels are at 500kV, 275kV and
132kV, while the distribution voltage levels are at 33kV, 22kV and 11kV.
A substation typically consists of the following equipment;
a. Primary equipment,
b. Secondary equipment,
c. Auxiliary equipment.
The following definitions are used to segregate the functionality of a substation;

Descriptions
The primary system comprises all equipment, which, in whole or
in part, is in service at the nominal voltage of the electrical power
system.
Two types of primary equipment based on insulating media;
a. Air insulated switchgear (AIS),
b. Gas insulated switchgear (GIS).
For example, circuit breakers, disconnectors (isolators), current
transformers, voltage transformers, surge arresters, power
transformers, etc.
The secondary system comprises all equipment, which is used for
the control, protection, monitoring and measurement of the
primary system. The system collects and processes information
from substation primary equipment.
For example, protection systems, control systems, etc.
Auxiliary systems are those which are required to enable the
primary and/or secondary equipment to operate.
For example, A.C. auxiliary supplies, D.C. auxiliary supplies,
generator set, etc.

15.9 Protective Device Code
1. Policy
1.
2.
3.
Protective devices, equipment, functions or systems shall be identified by ANSI based

device code and BS 3939: Guiding Principles.
All relays shall be labelled with the relevant protective device codes. The codes do
not replace the existing protection names. The main relay function shall complement
the protective device codes.
The device reference designation for protective devices shall include the protective
device code. For example, Main 1 Distance Protection is represented by -F21Z/1.
2. Purpose
1.
The purposes of the protective device code are to;

a. Ease the NLDC, RCC and relevant personnel to understand the relay
functions,
b. Ease the reporters and investigators to interpret relay operation,
c. Standardize the relay names or codes,
d. Avoid confusion encountered in determining the relay function for certain
relay make/type when the relay indication/flag/LED operated,
e. Identify the relay function independent of the relay brand/make name.
3. Concept
1.
The concept of the protective device code are;

a. The code shall consist of device numbers and may include suffix letters that
immediately explain the function and type of the protective devices,
b. The code shall be simple as possible,
c. The device number may be followed by combination of suffix capital
letter(s),no more than 4, to further describe the device specific function,
d. Device that perform two relative important functions may be identified by
using double function numbers separated by a plus(+) without spacing,
e.g. 50+51 or 24+59OV.
e. Devices with the same function, but different ranking or location, shall be
followed with number(s) or letter(s) separated by a slash (/), e.g. 21Z/1
and 21Z/2, or 64REF/HV and 64REF/LV.
f. Devices with the same function, but different stages or for different trip
coils, shall be followed with number(s) or letter(s), e.g. 64SBEF1 and
64SBEF2, or 86E1 and 86E2.
4. Relay Flag
and Lighting
Device
Indications
1.
The device flags and lighting indications on the relay shall be clearly labelled with
common understanding description according to its function.
5. Protective
Device Code
1.
The standard protective device codes are as listed in Appendix B.

Definition
Alternating current
Air Insulated Switchgear
Some refers as autoreclose, is the automatic reclosing of CB associated with faulted
section of network after an interval of time which permits that section to recover
from transient fault [IEC 50(604)-1987]
The time during autoreclose when the power line(s) or phase(s) is(are) not
connected to any network voltage. Note: For radial fed power lines, the dead time
is equal to the autoreclose open time. [IEC 50(448)-1995]
The time after an autoreclosure, before the autoreclose equipment will initiate
another reclosures in the event of another power system fault. [IEC 50(448)-1995]
Circuit Breaker
Current Comparison
The non-selective part of a multi-zone High Impedance Busbar protection, generally
supervising current flow at the terminals of the complete substation. Note: Tripping
from the Busbar protection is conditional on operation of both the check zone and
discriminating zone. [IEC 50(448)-1995]
Coil used in the electromagnet that supplies power for the closing the device, usually
CB. Note: In an air or other stored-energy-operated device, the closing coil may be
the coil used to release the air or stored energy which in turn closes the device.
[IEEE C37.100-1981]
Direct current
The selective part of a multi-zone High Impedance Busbar protection, generally
supervising current flow into and out of a single section of busbar, see also Check
Zone. [IEC 50(448)-1995]
Disturbance Recorder
Delay Three Pole Autoreclose, is defined as delayed reclosing shall only be initiated
in the event of a single-phase fault or two-phase fault. Three-phase fault shall
initiate lockout condition.
Evolving fault terminology must include the operation of autoreclose cycle, where it
is classified as fault that occurs after the clearance of the first-detected fault and
during the dead time of the first-detected fault.
Fault Recorder
Fast Single Pole Autoreclose, is defined as single-pole, high speed reclosing shall be
initiated only in the event of a single-phase fault, and delay reclosing in the event of
two-phase fault. Three-phase fault shall initiate lockout condition.
Gas Insulated Switchgear
The current which results when a switching device is closed to energise an inductive
or capacitance circuit .
The disconnection of faulty equipment or part of the network after a pre-determined
number of reclosures and conditions. Sometimes the number of reclosures can also
be zero. Sometimes refer as final tripping [IEC 60(604)-1987]
Mean Time Between Failure, which is calculated using CIGRE WG34.10 method.
An autoreclosing repeated more than two times if it is unsuccessful.
Nickel Cadmium
National Load Despatch Center for TNB
A fault which affects a device and prevents its restoration into service until action
has been taken at the point of the fault. [IEC 50(604)-1987]
Permissive Underreach Transfer Trip
Permissive Overreach Transfer Trip
Regional Control Center for TNB
Standby Earth Fault. For TNB system, it is usually an Earth Fault relay using Definite
Time characteristic.
Some refers as self-checking, where self-testing by microprocessor-based relays that
checks operation of the processor software. [IEEE C37.113-1999]
Substation Interrogation and Monitoring System
Sometimes refer as single-phase-to-ground fault.

TTWC
Two-phase fault
Definition
Switch On To Fault, usually occurs during closing of CB for when fault happens at
the same period of time.
Three-phase fault includes phase-to-phase-t o-phase fault and phase-to-phase-t ophase-to-ground fault. In TNB system, if autoreclose is employed, it shall initiate
lockout condition.
The resistance between the tower grounding system and true ground.
TTC is chaired by the Vice President of Transmission Division of TNB. TTC is the
highest divisional committee to accept or to approve any changes to the philosophy,
policy and requirement. TTC is the body that acknowledge the acceptance of relay
model, SCS equipment and protection/control anciliary equipment to be used in TNB
secondary systems.
Transmission Technical Working Committee.
Two-phase fault includes phase-t o-phase fault and phase-to-phase-t o-ground fault
