SYNOPSIS
The project is completed at KMML, world's first fully integrated Titanium
dioxide pigment plant. The electrical system of KMML includes 110 kV
substation. The project aims to design the protective system of the
substation along with setting up a trip circuit.
INTRODUCTION
ABOUT KMML
Located on the coast of the Arabian Sea, one of the richest mineral
deposits in the world, Kerala Minerals and Metals Ltd. (KMML) is among the
pioneers in the field of mineral sand industry in India. The mineral separation
industry, MIs F.X. Perira and sons Pvt. Ltd., established in 1932, turned KMML in
1972. Today KMML has variety of products like iIImenite, silimenite, monozite,
synthetic rutile, zircon, leucoxene, titanium dioxide pigment, etc. in finest quality.
The Plants U100 - 500 forms together the Pigment Production Plant (PPP).
Utilities available are:-
Boiler
Water Treatment Plant
Air Compressor Station
Oxygen Plant.
Plant Process
The Mineral Separation Plant mines and separates iIImenite, rutile and
leucoxene. Since the availability of rutile (95% Ti02) is limited, illmenite is the raw
material for the Ti02 Production. The raw illmenite is beneficiated to 90-92% Ti02 by
reduction and leaching in the ISP. The spent Hydrochloric acid (leach liquor) is
regenerated in the ARP for minimum pollution. Finally, the PPP converts the
beneficiated illmenite to the Titanium dioxide Pigment.

Power Transformer
The yard includes two power transformers one an each line, steps down
11Okvto 6.6kV for further distribution, with specification:
ONAN/ONAF indicates type of cooling - Oil Natural Air Natural and Oil Natural Air
Forced. Above 10MVA transformers are air-blast cooled using fans. The on load
tap changer is provided for regulating the secondary voltage at 6.9 kV. The value of
NGR is 9.5Ω
The 110kv tapped from the Edk-2 line is stepped down to 6.9kV using
the power transformers. This power is fed to 13HT motors and 5 inplant substations.
The MSDS facilitates the control of the yard derives - isolators, GCB, earth switch.
Various relays are installed to sense the faults on both the 110kv and 6.9kv sides.
The circuit breakers on the 6.9kV side. MOCBs are set up on the control panel for
the HT motors. The Remote Tap Changing Centre (RTCC) , monitors and controls
the on load tap changer.
Implant Substation
There are fine 6.6/.433kV substations erected at the site of different plants.
The implant substations consists two 6.6/.433kV transformers. The .433V supply is
fed to the PowerControlCentre(PCC)through bus ducts and then to Motor Control
Centers (MCC) that feed the LT motors.
PCC distributes power to different MCCs and PDBs through protective relays
and circuit breakers. The secondary of the two transformers at each implant
substation is loaded through the PCC. The two sections from the two transformers
can be connected through bus-coupler when any section fails.
Every Motor in the industry is controlled from the 17MCCs. The motors are
operated using the local start and stop buttons from the MCC. MCC module for each
motor consists of DOL starter. Overload Relay (OLR), Contactor and the switch fuse
units. The module has provisions for protection and isolation of the motors.
SUBSTATION
Bus bars
Power Transformers
Circuit Breakers
Circuit breakers are operated to make or break any circuit manually under
normal conditions and automatically on fault. Air circuit breaker, Oil circuit breaker,
Vacuum circuit breaker and SF6 breakers are commonly used. Relays are provided
to inform the breaker about the fault.
Isolators
Instrument transformers
For the purpose of measuring and monitoring the current and voltage in the
line Instrument transformers; current transformers (C.T) and Potential transformer
(P.T) are used. Current transformers are step - up transformers lowering the current
level proportionately. Potential transformers are step - down transformers with a
lower secondary voltage. In addition to metering, instrument transformers are
important to protective units.
lightning Arresters
lightning Arresters are provided on the three lines for protection against
surges due to lightning. The over voltages produced are passed to the earth without
interfering the system operation.
Faults lead to the damaging of the equipment and the entire installation
as the faulty current level is excessive. During faults, voltages of the three phases
become unbalanced and the power flow is towards the fault. In power system the
probability of occurrence of abnormality is more on power lines.
Simultaneous fault
The above mentioned are the most common and dangerous faults occurring
in the power system and are together called short - circuit or shunt faults. They are
a result of the breakdown of insulation.
These short circuit faults have the following harmful effects on power system.
Stability is disturbed
Over voltages
Reversal of power
Power swings
Under frequency
Temperature rise
Instability
Some faults are not serious enough to call for the tripping of
circuit breakers. In such cases protective relaying is arranged for giving an alarm. In
more serious cases, the continuation of abnormal condition can be harmful. In such
cases the faulty part should be disconnected without any delay.
SYSTEM PROTECTION
Every electrical system must operate continuously under normal service conditions
and must withstand short-time over currents and over voltages during abnormal conditions.
The abnormal state, fault, diverts current from its intended path. The faulty impedance is
negligible and heavy current flows. An uncleared fault may result in fire which not only
damages the equipment of its origin but may spread in the system and cause total failure. If
the faulty section is not isolated soon, the entire installation will be destroyed.
Zones of Protection
Back - up protection
Overvoltages
The voltage surges in the power system caused by lightning and switching
resonance is shielded by
The over voltages caused in the system is diverted to the earth by reducing
the resistance of the earth path using the above devices. The elements of power
system should withstand the over voltages without insulation failure. The insulation
level and quality is graded, so that the damage due to overvoltage is minimum and
equipment insulation is economical.

external short circuits. A through fault is one which is beyond the protected zone of
the transformer, but fed through the transformer. Internal faults are within the
protected zone of the transformer, phase to phase or phase to ground short circuits.
Incipient faults ,are initially minor and gradually become serious.
Relays
Circuit breakers
Transducers
The process of fault - clearing involves, operation of relay on fault, opening of the
Circuit breaker and disconnection of the faulty portion.
Static relays have stationary electronic circuits for measuring and are being
increasingly used for various applications. Recently, programmable relays have
been developed. Some relays of interest to this project are discussed below:
Overcurrent Relays
Overcurrent relays are provided for overcurrent protection, where the relay
picks up when the current exceeds the pick up level. Overcurrents occur due to
short circuits caused by the phase faults, earth faults or winding faults. Depending
on the relay time, overcurrent relays are categorized as:
The relays designed to act instantaneously without time delay, on faults are
the instantaneous overcurrent relays. These are simple and fast electromagnetic
attraction type relays. Instantaneous overcurrent relay functions to clear the sudden
excessive fault current. The contacts of the relay close immediately, the current
exceeds the set value. Each relay is set for a particular value of current.
The time delay relay, Inverse time overcurrent relay has definite time
delay set on requirements. The fault is cleared within the time set, such that it varies
inversely to the amount of fi:lUlt current. The characteristic of such relays varies
widely, depending on the point of core saturation in the electromagnetic induction
relays.
0
definite characteristic, l t= k
1
Inverse characteristic, 1 t= k
n
More- inverse characteristic, ,I t= k
over the working range. The core saturates early and the relays act after the
specified time irrespectively of the value of fault current. Some relays, initially follow
the inverse characteristic near the pick up then follows the definite time curve slightly
above pick up; such relays are IOMT relays. The inverse time relays have an
inverse time current relationship. The more inverse relays may be of very inverse or
extremely inverse.
The Indian standards (IS: 3231-1965) specify only the IDMT curve. The
extremely inverse relays are more elective than IOMT relays, since it's possible to
achieve accurate distinction between faults and surges after an outage.
Principles of operation
The secondary winding is connected in series with the winding of the lower
magnet. This winding is energized by induction from the primary, and together they
set up the rotational torque on the suspended aluminum disc. The torque is
controlled by a spiral spring and a brake magnet on the disc. The rotating disc
spindle carries a moving contact that bridges the fixed contact. The angle of rotation
of the disc can be set by the time setting multiplier. The time multiplier is not the
operating time but is a multiplier to obtain the actual time from the name plate curve
of the relay.
The induction disc type relays are crafted with plug setting and time-setting
multiplier to obtain wide operating range. Each relay has associated time-current
characteristic; refer figure (5) the abscissa and ordinate being the plug setting
multiplier and operating time. The time-PSM curve corresponding to the time
multiplier setting equal to one is always provided on the relay name plate.
Attracted Armature relays are commonly used overcurrent relays, based on the
electromagnetic attraction. These relays are simplest in construction and operation. The relay
consists of an electromagnet energised by the actuating quantity. The plunger coupled to the
electromagnet is subjected to the magnetic attraction when the coil is energised. The action
of the plunger closes the contacts of the relay. These are fast relays and the operating time
does not depend of the value of the actuating quantity.
The currents on the two sides of the power transformer are unequal.
To equalize them interposing CTs are used between the transformer and the relay.
Interposing CTs have different turns ratio but the currents flowing from them to the
relay will be equal. The phase-correction of the two currents is achieved by the
appropriate CT connection. As a general rule, CTs on any star winding are delta
connected and CTs on ay delta winding are connected in star. The different CT
ratios result in circulating currents under through fault conditions. The undesirable
operation of the relay is likely to occur during tap-changing and energising of the
transformer.
The biased differential relay has two coils operating coil and the restraining
coil. The relay operates whenever the torque produced by the operating coil is
greater than that produced by the restraining coil. Under normal conditions the
restraining coil produces the higher torque and the operating coil carries no current.
The mal operation during through load conditions, tap-changing and inrush of
magnetizing current is prevented by the restraining component in the percentage
differential relay
Buchholz Relay
Faults involving flow of current on the earth return path are earth
faults. Normal current in the earthed neutral wire is zero. On earth faults currents
pass through the neutral wire to the ground. Over current relays engaged in earth
fault protection are earth fault relays. The setting is done independent of the load
current since earth fault currents are low compared to phase fault currents.
The restricted earth fault protection employs 3 line CTs and a neutral CT
to achieve the purpose. The secondary of the line CTs and neutral CT are paralleled
with the relay. Ideally the output of the CTs is proportional to the sum of 4zero
sequence currents in the line and neutral earth connection if the latter is within the
protected zone. The relay current for external faults is either absent or summed to
zero. For internal faults, the relay current is equal to twice the total fault current as
the sum of zero sequence currents in the CTs is greater than zero. Thus the
protection is restricted to the particular zone.
The Motor Protection relays take care of complete protection of motors. The
faults likely to occur in motors may be summed under the five heads:-
Stalling
Unbalancing
Over current
Over Voltage
Earth fault
The motor protection relays comprehend the entire motor protection. These
relays are exclusively used in motor protection and are of different types. The choice
depends on the size and capacity of the motors.
The type CTMM relay has five independent units to sense the various
faults.
Thermal unit: Acts when the current exceeds 105% of the relay settings current. The
unit is provided against auxiliary supply failures.
Instantaneous 3 phase over current unit: To sense the balanced over current to the
motor. The unit is adjustable and time delay of operation is provided to allow transient starting
current.
Time delayed 3-phase over current unit: Provides protection during starting and
prolonged starting conditions.
Instantaneous unbalance and single phasing element: Set up to trip instantly against
Unbalancing against single phasing.
Instantaneous earth fault element: Prevents the motor from earth fault adversities.
Circuit Breakers
Circuit Breakers are mechanical devices employed in closing or opening of
an electrical circuit. The functioning circuit breaker carries full load current
continuously with provision of making or breaking the operating current. In
fault clearing, circuit breaker interprets information from the relay by isolating the
faulty part.
To receive the signal from the fault sensor the circuit breaker is equipped
with trip coils. The switching and current interruption is performed by the fixed and
moving contacts. When the breaker is closed these contacts touch each other and
carry the current, under normal conditions. The contacts, called electrodes engage
each other under the pressure of a spring. Whenever fault occurs on any part of the
system the trip coils get energized and the moving contacts are pulled apart
by some mechanism, opening the circuit. During normal operation, station operator
opens or closes the breaker for the purpose of maintenance and switching.
The operation of circuit breaker is initiated by exciting the trip coils and
involves separation of the current carrying contacts. This action leads to arcing
between the contacts. The circuit is opened only when the discharge, ceases, i.e
current interrupted. The arcing continuous for a brief period after the contacts are
parted, allowing gradual transition from current carrying to isolating states of the
breaker. In case of fault isolation, the circuit needs to be opened quickly. The
phenomenon of arcing delays the current interruption, also generates huge amounts
of heat, damaging the system or / and breaker itself. Therefore circuit breaker must
be able to extinguish the arc within the shortest possible time.
ACB
In the ACB the contact separation and arc extinction takes place in air.
The arc is extinguished by cooling, lengthening and splitting the arc. The high
resistance principle increases the voltage drop across the arc above the system
voltage and the arc is extinguished at current zero of the ac wave. This is the
principle of operation of Air break type breaker in which the arc is split by the
arc-chute. In Air-blast breakers, compressed air in admitted into the arc extinction
chamber and the air blast removes the ionized gases extinguishing the arc.
MOCB
The circuit breaking contacts are placed in insulting oil medium. The heat
generated by the arc struck between the contacts evaporates the surrounding oil and
dissociates it into hydrogen gas at high pressure. The hydrogen gas cools the arc
due to its high heat conductivity and forces the oil into the space between the
contacts after arc interruption at current zero.
GCB
The gas circuit Breakers use sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) gas with good arcquenching
properties and high dielectric strength as the insulating fluid. SF6 is
superior to oil and air chemically and physically.
VCB
The make-break contacts of the VCB are placed in vacuum. Ideal vacuum
is a perfect dielectric medium in which arc cannot persist. However, the separation
of contacts give rise to plasma, the vapor released from the contact surfaces, the
vapor is of positive ions released from the metallic contacts. After current zero the
rate of release of vapor falls and the medium regains dielectric strength.
stable and reliable operation of the power system; protection of the system. The
circuit breaker must operate under varying situation. The making breaking capacities
are to be maintained always.
The transducers are current and potential transforms. They reduce the
current or voltage of the system to a level acceptable to the relays. The lower level
input to the relays ensure that the physical hardware of the relays will be quite small
and less expensive. Also, the personnel working with the relays will be in a safe
environment.
Core 2 Relays
The core 2 relays alias 50, 51 and 51-G detect the overcurrent resulting from
short circuits. They act through the master trip relay 86-2 to open the GCB. The
faults resulting in overcurrent on the lines are cleared by the action of these relays.
50
Type : CDG
So the safe operating point is arbitrarily chosen at 850% of the normal primary
current.
When huge currents result from faults instant tripping must be ensured, for
which the instantaneous relay is best suited. The operating point is set at a high
value to allow the flow of heavy starting currents. The relay features with flag
indication for each phase and 3 x 2 NO contacts. One of the 2 NO is connected to
the master relay coil and the other goes for flag indication.
51
Type : CDG 31
The relay operating time = 10 seconds from the graph in figure (2)
For the relay to operate in 2 seconds keep the time multiplier at 0.2
51- G
Referring to the block diagram, the currents 11and b from the 2 sides
of the power transformer are vectorialy added in the centre tapped bias transactor
T1. The bias setting of 15%, 30% and 45% can be obtained by 3 taps in each half of
the transactor primary. The output of T1 is rectified and smoothed to obtain the
restraint bias voltage VB. The centre tap is connected to the differential circuit T2, T3
and T4 in series. The difference between 11and 12flows through the primaries of T2
the harmonic restraint transactor, T3the operating transactor and T4 high-set current
transformer.
The attracted armature output unit has 3 NO contacts, one for each phase
and a flag indication. When the differential fault is sensed on any phase the
corresponding NO contact closes and the relay is flagged. The closed contact
completes the circuit to the master trip relay 86-1, which is then energised to open
the GCB on 110kV side and the MOCB on the 6.6 kV incomer.
Miscellaneous Relays
Various other relays are provided to sense the faults that are not the concern
of above mentioned relays. Also, supervisor relays are employed to handle tripping
of breakers.
63-x
The relay 63-X is attached to the mercury switch, associated with the alarm of
the Buchholz relay mounted on the power transformer. The incipient faults within the
transformer are sensed by the Buchholz relay and the alarm is initiated by the
63 - X. Voltage activated, attracted armature type auxiliary unit is used.
49-X
Type : VAA 12
63.Y
Type : VAA 12
As the name indicates the relay senses major faults in the power transformer,
high oil temperatures and low oil levels. The relay is reset manually after clearing
the fault. The 63-Y is the trip relay for the faults indicated by the alarms of 49 - X
and 63 - X. The relay is connected to the breaker through 86 -1.
86 -1
Type : VAJ
The tripping relay 86-1 is the Master trip relay for 63Y, 8F and 50 R. The NO
contact of the relay closes whenever the 63Y, 87 and 50R is energized. The
peculiarity of 86-1 is that it opens both the GCB and MOCB. The MOCB is the
breaker on the secondary side of the transformer. Thus the transformer is isolated
from either side. The fault sensed by these relays calls for the tripping of the primary
and secondary sides. The relay supervises the clearing of serious faults.
86 -2
Type : VAJ
The relays 50,51 and 51-G opens the GCB through the master trip relay, also
called as the lock out relay, 86-2.lnstead of connecting each of the three relays
directly to the GCB, a single relay, 86-2 connects them to the GCB.
97
Type : VAX
The entire relay circuit is under the supervision of the 97. The relay indicates
the failure of the ?c supply to the relays. The relay is set up to act when the primary
protection fails.
The relays on the primary sides are discussed above. On the secondary side the
similar scheme is followed. The incomer on the 6.6 kV side of the transformer is
operated by the MOCB. The breaker is released manually by operating personnel
under normal conditions of switching. Upon fault the relay sense the fault and pass
the information to the trip circuit of the circuit breaker.
The control panel for the HT motors is located in the MSDS. Every motor has
associated MOCB and the motor protection relays- The CTMM or the MM-30. The
MM-30 is the programmable relay, set up with the LCD display. CTMM relays
employ static circuitry in discriminating the faults and electromagnetic operation for
tripping.
SEQUENCE COMPONENTS
Fortesque theorem states that any unbalanced three phase system of sinusoidal
quantities can be resolved into three balanced systems of phasors called symmetrical
components of the unbalanced system. The balanced systems are the
The positive sequence currents are the normal current in the 3 lines of the
supply system. The flow of only the positive sequence currents occurs for normal
operation and during a 3 - phase fault. For a 3- phase fault, the magnitude of the
current increases to a high value, their phase sequence remaining the same as
under normal conditions. Such faulty situations are due to balance 3 - phase faults.
Current Transformer
The three phase current transformer reduces the current level in the lines
according to the ratio 100:1. The trip circuit is connected in the secondary of the
current transformer. The rating of the CT is selected in association with the
continuous current possible through the circuit. The primary of the CT has a single
turn while the secondary is multi-turn winding. It is a step up transformer, stepping
down the current to a suitable value.
Sequence Filter
Any unbalanced current in the system is resolved into 3 sequence components - negative
sequence, positive sequence and zero sequence. The sequence filtering is accomplished
by the connection of the transducers across the CT secondary. The transducer 1 is between
the B-phase and R-phase such that the current through it is the differential B-R current. When
only positive sequence current flows the upper have of the centre-tapped transducer 1 is
effective. The current in any phase at that time is equal to all others and only a pair of lines
needs to be used. During unbalanced conditions both negative and positive sequence
current flows for which the additional transducer is provided between the remaining
lines.
Transducer
Transducers are devices that convert one form of energy into another
form of energy .The current to voltage transducer, used here, are a transformer with
more number of turns on the secondary. The step up transformer is designed with
high voltage and, very low current on the secondary. The reduction in current is
achieved by using high resistance copper wire. So secondary winding is made out of
thinner wires than the primary winding. The two centre tapped transducers are rated
8 mVJ2V,7.5VAThe primary winding has the same number of turns as the secondary
of the CT so that the CT secondary current is same as the primary current of the
transducer.
Squaring circuit
Bridge Rectifier
The bridge rectifier uses four diodes for the rectification of the ac
voltage in the circuit. The coil chosen operates on dc voltage, but the entire circuit is
set up on ac. The rectifier forms an interface between the dc coil and the circuit.
Since a differential quantity is the actuator, the direction of power flow cannot be
predicted. Therefore bridge rectifier is essential at this stage.
Relay
Separate relay units are provided for the positive sequence and negative
sequence elements. The positive sequence element is slower, neglecting the
transients. The reactance of the coil is 140 ohms, operating voltage 10V. The
negative sequence relay coil is 945 ohms, 10V. The negative sequence element has
a higher impedance to handle the huge voltage due to boosting.
The circuit consists of two relay units, one for positive sequence tripping
(1+)and the other for negative sequence tripping (I-). The positive sequence element
is directly connected to the secondary of the transducer (TR1). When a three phase
fault occurs, which is a rare event, the voltage across the transducer rises to a high
value and energizes the 1+element directly. The coil operates at 10V but the
resistors R1, R2 and R3 causes the relay to catch only at 24V.
DESIGN
The circuit is designed to operate the relay when the input current exceeds
12A and 4A for the positive sequence and negative sequence elements respectively.
The values are referred to the secondary of the CT.

CONCLUSION
The system protection is an important concern of a power engineer. The
expansion of power system has ensued in and is ensuing from the rapid industrial
progress leading to improvement of standard of living of people. The relevance of
operation of power system, without intervention of faults, is thus realized with no
doubt. Interruption of supply services by faults is prevented by protective systems.
We have designed a protective scheme covering all the basic protection requirements of a
substation that assists in the infallible service of the supply system. Objectionable situations,
faults are to be screened under any circumstances. Different protective schemes prevail, we
add ours to them.
