Unit III Lecture-15 Differential Protection of Transmission Line Carrier Current Protection

Carrier current protection uses a carrier signal between 50-700 kHz that is coupled to the transmission line via coupling capacitors. Line traps confine the carrier signal to the protected section. The phase of the carrier signal is compared at each end - a phase difference indicates a fault. This scheme can protect lines up to a maximum length due to propagation time delays and phase shifts caused by the transmission line. It is widely used for EHV and UHV lines.

Carrier Current Transmission Line
Protection Scheme
Currier Current Protection
• The most widely used scheme for the
protection of EHV and UHV power lines.
• Carrier signal of 50 Khz to 700 Khz is directly
coupled to the high voltage line.
• Below this range the cost and size of coupling
equipment becomes very high.
• Above this range signal attenuation and
transmission loss is considerable.
• Power level is about 10-20 W.

Function of Line Trap
• The line trap is a parallel resonant circuit tuned to
the carrier frequency connected in series with the
line conductor at each end of the protected line
section.
• This keeps the carrier signal confined t the protected
line section and does not allow the carrier signal to
flow in to the neighbouring sections.
• It offers very high impedance to the carrier signal but
very low impedance to power frequency current.
Function of Coupling Capacitor
• It consists of a porcelain-clad, oil filled stack of
capacitors connected in series.
• It offers very high impedance to power
frequency current but low impedance to
carrier frequency current.
• Inductance offers a low impedance to power
frequency current and high impedance to
carrier frequency

Wave Shape
Limitation of Length of TL Protected by
Phase Comparison
• The propagation time, i.e. The time taken by
the carrier signal to travel from one end to
other end of the protected line section ( up to
0.06 degree per kilometer)
• The time of response of the band pass filter
(about 5 degree)
• The phase shift caused by the transmission
line capacitance ( up to 10 degree)
