✅ Why Protection

- Power System designed by human has a probability of failure


- We can not design a power system which free from failure
- It is not economically feasible to design a power system which is free from failure
- It is advisable to design a power system considering the economics in mind and
allowing the failures to happen and design a protection system to reduce the damage
is always better

✅ What is Protection

- Protection system is equipment / equipments together detects, isolate the fault /


failures / abnormalities to minimise the damage and prevent the cascaded failure
- Fuse,
- CT, Cable, Relay, CB
- MCB
- MCCB & ACB

✅ What is Protection Coordination?

- There are many Protection Devices available in the system


- Hence we need to coordinate these protection devices

✅ Objective of Protection coordination studies

- Isolate the fault


- Isolate only the fault
- Isolate only the fault as quick as possible
- Isolate the fault along with minimum possible healthy equipments in case if the main
protection system fails

✅ Reference Standards

What is included and excluded?

Protection:

- HV / EHV
o Differential
o Distance
o Restricted Fault
- MV
o Over current – 51 (IDMT OC) and 50 (Instant OC)
o Earth Fault – 51N (IDMT EF) and 50N (Instant EF)
- LV
o Thermal Magnetic Release
o Electronic Release / Microprocessor Release
- Other Protection
o Frequency
o Voltage

✅ When to use Definite Time and when to use Instantaneous Over current Protection

✅ IDMT Earth Fault Protection – How to select Pick up, Curve and Time Dial Setting

✅ Instantaneous Earth Fault Protection – How to select Pick up

✅ manual calculation

✅ simulations using ETAP


Protection:

- Current detection based


- Phase faults – OC
o IDMT
o Instant
o Definite Time
- Ground / Earth Faults

TCC – Time Current Characteristic Curve

CT Ratio:

- FLA * Margin = 179 *1.1

Over Current Protection:

IDMT

- Inverse Definite Minimum Time


o Inverse curve ends and becomes definite Minimum Time at 20 / 30 / 50 times
the Pick up current
- Applications
o Transformer – IEC EI
o Motor – IEC VI / IEC LTI
o Cable – IEC NI
o Buscoupler – IEC NI
o Incomer – IEC NI
o Capacitor
- Three Parameters
o Pick up current (I>)
 Full load current * Over Load margin * Safety Margin / (Reset Ratio *
Under Voltage Margin)
o Curve
 IEEE 242

o Time Dial Setting (TDS) / Time Multiplier Setting (TMS)
TCC Curve

- Adjust TDS / TMS to move the curve vertically


- Adjust the pick up to move the curve horizontally – Pick up is science

Curve and Time Dial Setting has to be selected together based on

- Should not trip for motor starting (Motor starting current 6 / 7.2 / 10 times)
- Should not trip for transformer energisation (Transformer inrush current could be 6 to
12 times of FLA)
- Should not trip for Capacitor switching (APFC)
- This should have coordination with downstream relay
- Ensure that overloading capability of equipment is utilised without tripping
- Ensure that equipment is protected against damage

Why we are not selecting pick up current as Full load current?

- There is a probability of overloading of equipments for short time and equipments


has the capability to withstand
- CT always have error – 5P20
- Equipments in power system are designed operate for a range of voltage (Voltage
Tolerance – Typically +/- 10%)

Instant OC – 50

- Pick up
o Above Starting Current
o Above inrush and Through fault for transformer
o Above inrush current for capacitor
o Importance to RMS – Includes DC, Harmonics
