    Transmission Line & Feeder Protection

    Uploaded by

    Ravindra Vankina
    This document discusses protection methods for transmission line feeders. It notes that feeders need protection from faults like overloading, over voltage, under frequency, and short circuits. Protective relays are used to detect faults and isolate defective elements. Methods of feeder protection include time-graded overcurrent protection, current-graded overcurrent protection, distance protection, differential protection, and carrier-current protection. The document also discusses protection schemes for parallel feeders and ring main feeders.

    transmission line & feeder protection

    Objective
    Introduction
    Need for protection
    Protective relay
    Methods of protection of feeder
    Protection of parallel feeder
    Objective
    Feeder is the line that transfers the power
    from source end to the distribution end.
    To have a uninterrupted power supply for
    consumers, feeders need to be protected
    from various faults using different schemes.
    Introduction
    The word FEEDER may be referred as the connecting link
    between the two circuits. The feeder could be in the form
    of transmission line that is short, medium, or long or this
    could be a distribution circuit.
    Feeders form the integral part of power system, as power
    is transferred through feeders from source to load.
    Hence it is important to protect feeders from faults for
    continuous supply of power to consumers.
    Need for protection
    Following conditions lead to various faults:
    Over loading
    Over voltage
    Under Frequency
    Power Swings
    Transient Faults
    Permanent Faults
    Atmospheric Conditions(Temperature, Lightening)
    Short circuit Faults
    Protective relay
    It is a device that detects the fault and initiates the
    operation of the circuit breaker to isolate the defective
    element from rest of the system.

    Methods of protection of
    feeder
    Non Unit Type Protection:
    1. Time-graded over-current protection
    2. Current-graded over current protection
    3. Distance protection

    Unit Type Protection:


    1. Differential protection
    2. Carrier-current protection
    Non unit type protection
    Time
    Time--graded protection

    Drawbacks:
    Drawbacks:
    Time lag is provided which is not desirable on short circuits.
    Suitable for radial feeders with supply at one end only
    Difficult to coordinate and requires changes with addition of load.
    Current graded protection

    As time graded system provides delay which is not required at


    high faulty currents, we use current graded system.
    It cannot differentiate the zone in which fault occurred due to
    low difference in their magnitudes.
    So time graded IDMT relays are used along with current grading
    scheme to overcome the limitations.
    Protection of parallel feeder:

    Fig: parallel feeder protection

    Due to the limit of loading of a single line, parallel feeders


    are used to meet the increased demand .
    As the power may flow in opposite direction at faults ,
    directional relays are also used to provide protection.
    Protection of ring main feeder

    Fig: ring main feeder protection

    For reliability of power supply to all consumers even during


    faults in one path ring main feeder is used .
    In this feeder an alternative path is established to load end and
    power is supplied without any interruption .
