  • Chapter-7 Bus P.T. Voltage Selection Scheme

    Voltage selection relays are used in double busbar substations to select the appropriate bus voltage for metering and protection depending on which bus a circuit is connected to. This is achieved through voltage selection relays like the VAA51, VAA21, or VAJC11 relays. While VTs cannot normally be paralleled, the voltage selection scheme allows for momentary paralleling when a circuit changes buses to avoid maloperation of distance protection during the transition. Different relay types are suitable for different protection schemes depending on whether they have built-in fuse failure detection. Redundancy of DC supply can be maintained for main protection schemes when using self-reset relays versus electrically reset relays.

    CHAPTER-7
    BUS P.T. VOLTAGE SELECTION SCHEME
    In double busbar layout s/s where the VT supply for protection and metering is taken from the
    busbar connected VTs , depending on the bus to which the circuit is connected the corresponding
    bus voltage should be selected for metering & protection. This can be achieved by means of
    voltage selection relays. Voltage selection relays are available as self reset relays type VAA51,
    VAA21 or electrically reset relays type VAJC11.

    As a general rule VTs are not to be paralleled due to the fact that the difference in secondary
    voltage can cause circulating current between the VTs leading to overheating of the winding. In
    our voltage selection scheme for distance protection, when there is a change over of circuit from
    one bus to the other there is a momentary paralleling of VTs . During this change over the bus
    coupler will be closed and therefore both buses will be at the same potential and the circulating
    current will be negligible. This momentary paralleling of VTs is allowed in voltage selection
    scheme for distance protection to avoid possible mal operation of the protection due to
    momentary loss of VT supply.

    VAA51 voltage selection relay.

    This relay is used for selection of VT supply for distance protection relays like PYTS, PYTC, &
    PD521 in double busbar installations. For these protection schemes VAPM31 relay is used as VT
    fuse failure relay. The selected VT supply for directional relays can also be taken through this
    relay. The voltage selection relay contacts of 75C coil used in VAPM31 relay circuit will have a
    time delay on pick up so that VAPM31 relay will not pick up first due to contact race during DC
    restoration. (After the DC has failed). Similarly a time delayed contact of 75C coil is introduced
    on the positive side of distance protection so that the DC is extended to the scheme after the VT
    supply is stabilised in the potential circuit of distance scheme.

    When VAPM31 relay is used for V.T. supervision scheme 2 sets of fuses per phase should be
    provided at the V.T. secondary side as close to the V.T. as possible.

    VAA21 Voltage selection relay

    This relay is used for selection of VT supply for distance protection relays like Micromho,
    Quadramho, Optimho, EPAC in double busbar installations. These distance relays have built in
    VT fuse failure scheme. VAA21 relay can be used for selecting VT supply for directional relays
    and metering also. Except distance protection, for all other protection & metering voltage
    selection relays will have N/C contact of other coil in series, ( As shown in the sketch) to prevent
    operation of both coils simultaneously and thereby paralleling of VTs. Sometimes due to
    improper operation of isolator auxiliary contacts both coils of the relay will remain picked up and
    if one of the buses is dead, then the V.T.connected to that bus may be back charged and thereby
    the bus also will get charged. Fatal accident has occurred to maintenance staff due to the above.

    When two distance protections are employed for lines as Main-1& Main-2, it is preferable to
    have independent voltage selection schemes using VAA21or VAA51self reset relays for Main-

    Page1of2
    1& Main-2 for redundancy of D.C supply. If electrically reset relay VAJC11 is used for voltage
    selection both Main-1 & Main-2 protection can be connected to the same voltage selection relay
    without losing the redundancy in D.C. supply.

    Bus P.T. voltage selection can be done manually also through ODS selector switch.
    Some customers connect the Protection & Metering to line V.T. under normal condition and
    under line V.T. fail condition, the protection & metering are transferred to bus V.T. through a
    selector switch. The appropriate bus voltage is selected by the voltage selection relay as
    described above.
