Distance Protection
The basic principle is that the apparent impedance
seen by the relay reduces drastically in case of line
fault.
If the ratio of apparent impedance to the positive
sequence impedance is less than unity, it indicates a
fault.
This protection scheme is inherently directional.
Impedance relay and Mho relay use this principle.

Load-generation imbalance in a system leads to fall in
frequency.
Underfrequency relay detects this drop and isolates
local generation from the grid.
Load-generation balance has to be maintained in the
islanded system.
In order to speed up the islanding decision, rate of
change of frequency relay is used.

A relay is said to be dependable if it trips only when it is
expected to trip.
Dependability is the degree of certainty that the relay
will operate correctly.
Dependability can be improved by increasing the
sensitivity of the relaying scheme.
%Dependability =

Security
Security is a property used to characterize false
trippings.
A relay is said to be secure if it does not trip when it is
not expected to trip.
It is the degree of certainty that the relay will not
operate incorrectly.
Security can be improved by improving selectivity of the
relaying scheme.

Selectivity
It is the ability to correctly locate and classify the fault.
A relay should be able to discriminate whether the fault
is in its jurisdiction or not.
This jurisdiction of a relay is called zone of protection.
Protection zones are classified into primary and backup
zones.

As per equal area criteria, the post fault system

reaches stable equilibrium if accelerating area is equal
to the decelerating area.
If a machine goes out-of-step with the rest of the
system, it has to be islanded to a sub-system.
As the fault clearing time increases, the stability margin
reduces.
The fault clearing time at which the stability margin

Introduction
All electrical measurements and relaying decisions are
derived from current and voltage signals. CTs and VTs are
necessary because
They scale down line currents and bus voltages to fed
into the relays.
They are sensors for the relay.
They electrically isolate the relaying system from the
apparatus.
Electrical isolation from the primary voltage provides
safety for both human personnel and equipment.

Estimation of fault current is very important because

Fault current estimates and fault impedance form input
for setting and coordination of protective devices.
Since the system should withstand the resulting

The concept of sequence components was introduced
by Charles. L. Fortescue in 1918.
His intuition was that any 3 unbalanced system has 6
degrees of freedom whereas a balanced 3 has only 2
degrees of freedom.
Hence an unbalanced 3 phasors can be synthesized
by 3 sets of balanced phasors. They are

Applying sequence transformation, we get

V1 = Z1 I1 , V2 = Z2 I2 and V3 = Z3 I3
where Z1 = Z2 = Zs Zm and Z0 = Zs + 2Zm
Thus, for a transposed transmission line, the positive
and negative sequence impedances are equal. A
commonly used approximation for Z0 is to assume it to
be three times Z1 .

+ve sequence circuit, lground = 0, resistance/impenace

of ground or neutral wire plays no role. Hence ground
for +ve sequence circuit is equipotential surface.
Same Conclusion can be drawn for -ve sequence
current.
For zero sequence current, ground potential or drop in
the neutral conductor is not zero. It (arrests) the voltage
profile.
Usually, this drop orequivalent impedance is lumped
with apparatus impedance to creates a equipotential
ground plane.

The subtransient reactance Xd determines the current

during the first cycle after fault occurs.
In about 0.1sec, reactance increases to transient
0
reactance Xd .
In about 0.5sec to 2sec reactance increases to Xd , the
synchronous reactance; this is the value that
determines the current flow after a steady state
condition is reached.

During a fault, motor acts as a generator to supply fault

current. The rotor carrying the field winding is driven by the
inertia of the rotor and load. Stator excitation is reduced due
to drop in voltage. The fault current diminishes as the rotor
decelerates. The generator equivalent circuit is used for
synchronous motor. The constant driving voltage and three
00
0
reactance Xd , Xd , and Xd are used to establish the current
values at three points in time. Synchronous condensers can
be treated in same manner as synchronous motors.

Hence, double frequency emf and currents are induced

Zero Sequence currents cannot create rotating mmf. In

fact, with sinusoidally distributed three phase windings,
the net flux at any point in the air gap is zero.
Hence, zero sequence impedance is only a small %
(0.1-0.7) of the positive sequence impedances
Since synchronous machines only generate positive
sequence voltage, the internal voltages used with
negative sequence and zero sequence networks are
zero.
If Y point is grounded through impedance Zg , then 3Zg
will have to be added to zero sequence impedance of
generator.

In asynchronous machines, transient state of current is

damped quickly i.e. within 1-2 cycle. During a fault,
rotor is driven by inertia of load and rotor itself. There is
no dc field excitation on rotor. Rotor winding is short
circuited. Hence, whatever rotor excitation is present, it
is due to the induced fields in the rotor from the rotating
stator mmf. As stator excitation is lost and rotor slows
down, this field is lost quickly. The current contribution
of an induction motor to a terminal fault reduces and
disappears completely after a few cycles.
As a consequence, only the sub transient value of
00
reactance Xd is assigned for positive and negative
sequence. This value is almost equal to the locked
rotor reactance. Subsequently, machine behaves as a
kV 2
passive element with impedance of value Z = MVA
where rated LL voltage and 3 phase MVA rating is used.

The generator equivalent circuit can be used to represent a

utility system. Usually, the utility generators are remote from
the industrial plant. The current contributed to a fault in the
remote plant appears to be merely a small increase in load
to the very large central station generators, and this current
contribution tends to remain constant. Hence, it is
represented at the plant by single valued equivalent
impedance referred to the point of connection.

During arcing period, fuse must withstand transient

voltage condition and steady state recovery voltage.
Because of the stored energy in the inductive elements
of the power system, for large currents, arcing time is
large.
Addition of melting time and arcing time gives the total
clearing time.
Total clearing curve (TCC) gives this information.
These characteristics are used to coordinate fuse with
overcurrent relays.
Voltage rating of a fuse is the highest voltage at which
fuse is designed to operate.

Expulsion Fuse
It is used in overhead circuits and equipments where
expulsion gases causes no problem.
Due to high temperature of the arc, special gas
generating materials like fiber, melanine,boric acid, oil
etc rapidly create gases.
These gases help to reduce the arc channel and
deionize the arc.
This leads to rapid build up of dielectric strength that
can withstand the transient recovery voltage.

Expulsion Fuse
It is used in overhead circuits and equipments where
expulsion gases causes no problem.
Due to high temperature of the arc, special gas
generating materials like fiber, melanine,boric acid, oil
etc rapidly create gases.
These gases help to reduce the arc channel and
deionize the arc.
This leads to rapid build up of dielectric strength that
can withstand the transient recovery voltage.
Vacuum Fuse
Its design, operation and current-voltage-time
characteristics are similar to that of expulsion fuse.
It is a completely sealed unit.
There is no expulsion action.

Interruption

The basic principle is to insert a high resistance in the
fault circuit which is otherwise inductive.
This makes zero crossing of current and voltage in
phase.
Thus temporary arc is extinguished and dielectric
medium will be quickly deionized.
The fusible element used is very long and surrounded
by silica sand.

From the equation it can be seen that

The current is proportional to the area under the
difference of source and arc voltage.
A higher source voltage will adversely affect the
interruption of current.
A high fuse arc voltage will help in limiting the fault
current.
The fuse arc voltage sustained over a time has a
positive impact on limiting fault current.
Lower the inductance, higher the available prospective
fault current.

It is difficult to control the time to trip.

This makes primary backup relay coordination difficult.
Once fuse melts, it has to be replaced for
reenergization of the equipment.
Thus it is difficult to have remote operation.

Summary

Overcurrent relays normally play the dual roles of
primary and backup protection.
Backup action requires a wait state.
By providing the additional setting feature of TMS, this
can be achieved.
TMS is defined as the ratio TTm , where T is the desired
relay operating time for a given PSM and Tm is the
corresponding operating time at TMS=1.
Relay operating time can be varied by varying the TMS
setting.

Lack of Coordination Between Fuse and DT relay

DT relay R1 has to back
up fuse.
After point X relay acts
faster than fuse.
This lack of coordination
is due to different
characteristics of fuse
and relay.
This lead to the
development of inverse
characteristics for
overcurrent relay.

Relays
Pickup current should be above the maximum load
current.
Pickup current should be below minimum fault current.
Pickup current should also be below the minimum fault
current of the feeder that it has to back up.
The back up relay also should provide time for primary
relay to operate. This time interval is known as
coordination time interval.

Summary
Problem 2
An 8MVA, 138/13.8kV transformer is connected to an
infinite bus. If a bolted three phase fault occurs at F,
find out the fault current. The impedance of the
transformer is 10% and location of the fault is close to
the bus as shown in the figure.
If the distribution feeder has 600/5 C200 CT with a
knee point of 100V, calculate the voltage developed
across CT and comment on its performance. CT
secondary resistance is 0.414, lead wire resistance is
0.411 and relay impedance is 0.259.

Summary
If the existing 8MVA transformer is replaced with a new

28MVA transformer with 10% leakage impedance, find
out the new fault current. Will this new fault current lead
to CT saturation?
In case CT saturates, comment on the performance of
