BUSBAR PROTECTION TRIP

1.In transformer feeder busbar protection will operate both the High side breaker and
lower side breaker

2.BF stage -1 and BB protection will initiate TC1 & TC2 of all breakers.

MICOM 142 DOCR TRIPPING CONDITION

Relay will trip single phase faults reference with other phase voltage

For three phase fault relay will take last one min memorised RYB voltage.

If one hour maintenance shout down memory voltage will errised then any bady switch on the CB with three fault there is no voltage in memory and relay will not operate for this fault.But in Line protection relay SOTF will operate.

BASICS OF ELECTRICAL

ATOMS

All meters (solid, Liquid, Gas) are composed by minute particals called Malicules. There are two part in Atom, 1. Nucleus 2.Extra Nucleus

a. Nucleus

The Nucleus contains Protons and Neutrons

Protons are positively charged particals and Neutrons have no particals

b.Extra Nucleus

Extra Nucleus contain only Electrons

Electrons are negatively charged particals and moves around the Molicules with different orbits.

The number of Protons are equels to Number of electrons in an Atom.

Atomic Wieght = No. of Protons + No. of Neutrons

Atomic Number = No. of Protons or No. of Electrons

Normally the Number of Protons and Number of electrons are equles in a body. So the resultant charge is zero and the body electrically neutral.

Charge

The charge is Electrical energy possessed by protons or Electrons in an Atoms

Unlike charges attract each other and like charges or repels each other.

The Law of Conservation

The Law of Concervation stats the algebraic sum of chares remain constant in a closed path. Therefore the charge can neither be created nor be distorted.

The unit of the charge

The charge on an electron is so small that is not convenient to select it as the unit charge. Normally Coulomb is the unit of charge. One Coulomb is equal to the charge on 6.28 X electrons.

Each protons has positive charge = 1.6 X C.

If 6.28 X Electrons remove from a neutral body then the body as positive charge 1 coulomb.

If we say that a body has a negative charge of 1 C we should remove 6.28 X electrons from that body.

Coulomb Inverse square Law

The force two point charges is directly proportional to product of the two charges and inversely proportional to square of distance between two charges.

F = 1/4π q1q2/

r - Distance between two charges

ε0 – The permittivity of free space

ε0 – 8.514

If charge placed in a material then

Permittivity = ε0 εr

εr – Relative permittivity of the material

Electric Field

The space around the charge in which the influence is felt is known as Electric field.

Electric field Intensity

The force experienced by an unit coulomb charge called Electric field Intensity.

E = F/q

F – Force in Newton

q – Charge in Coulomb

CURRENT AND VOLTAGE

American physicists TOLMAN and STEWART experimentally con formed that the electric current in a conductor is a carried by electrons. The electrons in outer most orbit will less bound with nucleus and called free electrons. The free electrons move at random from one atom to other atom in the materials.

Electro Motive Force

An external force necessary to move the free electrons in definite direction is called Electro Motive Force.

Faradays Law

When ever a conductor cut the magnatic field an E.M.F induced in the conductor.

E.M.F = BAL sinθ

B – Magnatic density in webber

A – Area of the conductor

L – Length of the conductor.

Theory of current (The Machanism of flow of current )

A metal piece contain a large number of free electrons moving in randam directin. The maxiumam speed the free electrons in the order of m/s. Due to e.m.f the electrons get accelerated and move in a definite direction. Due to electric field of moving electrons the electrons in the closed circuit also get accelerated and start to move.

The direction of moving electrons can be find by Flamings Right hand rule.

If E is the strength of the electric field applied from conductor closed circuit then the force on the electrons in the closed conductor

F = e.E

e- The charge on electrons in closed circuit.

The acceleration produced on on electrons in a closed circuit

a = F/m m – Mass of the electrons a = eE / m

Due to acceleration the velocity of an electron increase but happens only short time τ.

The electrons in a closed circuit contain The additional velocity acquired from e.m.f for τ time is called DRIFT VELOCITY.

Vd = a τ =( eE / m) τ.

Consider a wire of cross section ‘A’. Let ‘n’ be the number of free electrons per unit volume. The free electrons moves towards left with a constant drift velocity Vd.

Numer of free electrons passed through the area of cross section per unit time = nAVd. Therefore the charge that flows per unit time = nAVde. This also called the current flows through the wire I= nAVde.

This is relation between current and velocity

I= nA E τ/ m.

Electric current

The rate of follow of charge in any cross section of a wire is defined as the electric current.

I = Total charge flowing in a cross section / Time taken

If charge dq flows through a wire in small time dt. The electric current = dq / dt.

The unit of current is Ampere.

One coulomb of charge flow through the wire in one second is called one Ampere.

One ampere = 1 coulomb of charge (c) / 1 second (s) = 1

If there is no changes in rate of change of current and rate of change of time the the current is called steady current and if any one or both frequently change then the current called Alternating current .





Theory of Potential different

Consider a body in that one coulomb of negative charge is removed

Now the body is called positively charged body. Certain work was done to charge the body and it is stored in the body as potential energy.

AUTO RECLOSE

Auto Reclose Blocking Scheme
1. AR shall not be intiated under line is connected with generator bus unless proper analizes in the fulty line.
2. In case genarating power plant bus is connected to grid by medium and long lines,high-speed auto reclosing can be intiated by reverse direction (first chargeing the line from remote end and then reclose the CB at power plant end) for lines which restict the fult current to such a level that maximum shaft torques are with in the genarator specification under fault conditions.
3. AR shall not be intiated under the following conditions
a. BFP, BB protection trips
b. Direct transfer receiving Trips ( BF,PD)
c. SOTF Trips
d. Time delay trip
e. All type of communication failures ( 21 , 87L, BF,PD)
f. Both line & Bus side VT fuse failures

Testing Tips CT

CT Testing

1. When your test the CT with CT analyzer remove the Metrosil connections.
Otherwise analyzer will show the more Ratio error and class fail.

2. Some ring type CT's core are connected with bus voltage. Take more care on dressing the wires.This wires are connect with RYB three phases.Therefore wires should be separate with appropriate air gap.

DESIGN TIP GIS

Inter lock bypass key should not bypass the SF6 minimum operating pressure interlock

Friday, August 12, 2011

DESIGN TIP BF II STAGE

1. The BF second stage (86BF) no need to use in close block circuit because breaker already trouble to open. Breaker 'b' contact already serious in closing circuit if breaker is in open condition it will not allow the closing command to CB.

2. The trip setting of Tie breaker should be less then the trip setting of other to Incomers

Because if any fault on tie breaker side then Tie breaker should trip first and save the incomer voltage.

Design Tip AUX RELAYS

TIMING FOR AUXILIARY RELAYS

1. High speed relay used for SOE, TFR 1ms
2. Other signals ANNU, SCADA 4 ms
3. BF initiation timers ( 0 - 100 ms)
4. High speed 85 DTTR, 85 PD relays 4 ms
5. DC supervision relays 100 ms

Design Tip AR BLOCK

Why 94BF -1, 86 BF -2 trip no need to block the AR relay ?

The breaker status contact is given to AR relay to monitor the breaker.
AR relay give the close command if CB is in open condition.

Breaker failure operate means CB in closed condition and failure to open for trip command.

AR relay automatically blocked when the CB is in closed condition.

Therefore separate close block no need from 94BF -1, 86 BF -2.
