1 The substation configuration must be selected in consultation with the Owner. The
functional protection requirements should be confirmed concurrent with the
configuration selection (Refer to Part II - Protection, of this document).
2 Primary selective substations are mandatory for the primary supply of each major
operating division within the Suncor plant.).
3 Captive transformer configurations should be used where large motors are supplied.
Captive transformers are required for all nominal 13.SKV motors. Other large motor
requirement for captive transformers shall be demonstrated by system studies. The
motor control circuit breaker can be located on the primary or secondary side ofthe
captive transformer.
substation.
5 Process loads shall be fed from the main process area substation.
8 Automatic Transfer Systems will allow closed transition manual transfer and open
transition automatic transfer in the event of a power outage to one bus.
9 Radial configurations can be used where directed by the Owner. Four standard
variations provide design flexibility:
a) Fused primary, with no secondary switch devices are intended for temporary
loads, such as seasonal pumps, construction power, and the like, where keeping
costs to a minimum is the paramount consideration. This substation configuration
would not likely be used on transformers larger than 500 kV A.
b) Fused primary, breaker secondary configurations are intended for motor loads
where it is convenient to tap off an overhead line, rather than having to run
feeders back to a supply point where breakers are available. The secondary
breaker is required to protect the motors against single phasing.
c) Breaker primary, no secondary configuration would be used as an alternative
to, the fused primary, breaker secondary configuration, where a breaker protected
supply point is convenient, or where the size ofthe transformer warranted sudden
pressure and primary ground fault protection or single phasing is unacceptable!.
Emergency de-energization of the main bus must be accomplished by one of the
following:
• Primary breaker in same room
• Load break transformer primary disconnect switch
• Manual initiation of transfer trip (86) to the primary breaker
d) Breaker primary, breaker secondary configurations are intended for those
loads where there is a strong possibility of requiring a secondary selective
substation in the near future, but current budgets dictate the work be staged.
lOA radial fed sub bus must have an incoming breaker for emergency de-energization
unless one of the following conditions exists:
• Source breaker is in the same room
• Load-break incoming switch

(momentary) identified in the fault study, based on calculated X/R ratios and ANSI
C37.
7 For automatic secondary selective substations the contact parting duties (interrupting)
and first cycle duties (momentary) shall be based on the tie breaker closed and one
incoming breaker open.
8 For substations where the secondary bus may be energized with both incomers and
the bus tie closed in normal operation (not momentary) the switchgear must be rated
for this operating condition. This also applies to LV Switchgear supplied from Utility

4 For motor branch cables installed in tray, consideration shall be given to applying for
a variance to the CEC for derating of more than three power conductors in a raceway.
The basis of the submission is as follows:

125%
b) Lighting and EHT power cables are also normally sized for 125% of full load
current due to circuit breaker derating factors.
c) The calculated demand load is normally only 50% of the connected load as
process design usually calls for motors and other critical loads to have 100%
spare back up. As a result only 50% of all motor and other critical load power
cables will be carrying current at anyone time.
d) Control cables will usually be randomly run in the same cable trays as the
associated power cables thereby further reducing heat build up.
e) The cables will be run in open ventilated cable trays.

generator out of service (i.e. assume the generator making the most significant
contribution to the fault level is out of service). Synchronous equipment to be
based on transient impedance. Induction equipment to be omitted.
18 For backup device clearing time less than 0.5 second (30 cycles) use minimum fault
level. For backup device clearing time greater than 0.5 second (30 cycles) use steady
state impedances in minimum network configuration.

the relevant system. All element labeling shall be consistent between the single line
and the tabular format
22 For secondary selective substations, demands shall be given for both open and closed
bus tie breaker operation

9 Motors 200HP and below shall be provided with the following metering:
a) Instantaneous phase current (la, lb, Ic)
2 Alarms are to be reported to the control room of the Plant in which the equipment is
located or serves. Alarms may be initiated by common outputs of the local
annunciation.
3 Sequence of event recording (SER) shall be provided at main substations The SER
shall record all trip and alarm events with 1 ms time resolution unless otherwise
specified.
2.5. Documentation
2 Curves shall be plotted using the curve shifting method to account for different
voltage bases or in-feed considerations.

3 Where distance elements may overreach overcurrent elements, the equivalent current
characteristic of the distance element shall be plotted on the appropriate curves.
4 Devices shall be plotted at the highest applicable voltage base of the devices plotted.
5 A co-ordination curve plot shall be provided for Three phase faults and Single line-
to-ground faults
6 Each curve shall display all devices at the upstream and downstream locations, which
respond to the specific fault.
7 All devices shall be clearly identified with reference to the protective device number
of the single line diagram.
9 Coordination plots shall be based on actual contributions seen by the relay. Identify
and describe any motor or source in-feed conditions considered. Consideration of
motor in-feed conditions will necessitate a separate plot for maximum fault levels
since in-feed condition will change for minimum and breaker failure fault levels.
3 Devices 63, S1 GT and 87 (if required) shall transfer trip the supply breaker via an 86
lockout relay located with the primary switchgear. If the breaker is at a remote
location the transfer trip circuit continuity shall be supervised (74TM) and alarm after
delay to avoid nuisance alarms. The transfer trip wiring shall be routed with the
power cables.
4 NGRM shall alarm only. For mine applications tripping is required when grounding
resistor opens as per CSA M421.

6 Primary side protection shall be provided for any transformer on tapped feeders
where feeder protection does not:
a) Protect adequately as per the CEC or;
b) Provide adequate through fault damage protection (ANSI/IEEE C57.12.00)
2 The ground fault relay 51 N shall be definite time. If no downstream devices can
detect the same ground fault the relay shall be set to trip instantaneous for systems
with low resistance or solidly grounded neutrals.
1 Refer to ANSI C37.97 Guide for Protection Relay Applications to Power System
Busses.
For secondary selective busses of 13.8KV and above, protection shall include:
2 The primary and backup protections shall trip via independent 86 lockout relays. The
Owner may specify bus differential protection at other voltages levels.
3 Secondary selective substation bus tie breakers do not require overcurrent protection.

2 Primary selective substations shall be used for Main and Process area Substations:
3 For primary selective substations at voltages 34.5kV with incoming breakers, bus
protection shall consist of:
a) 87!?? High impedance differential or reverse zone interlocking
b) 50/51G Backup ground overcurrent protection.
1 Supply mains shall have local redundant "A" and "B" protection for the Main
distribution Substation primary supply mains, this will permit the supply main to
remain in service during maintenance to one protection. It is preferred that "A" and
"B" protections are supplied by different vendors. A and B protection systems are not
required for process area substations.
