March 2000 Busbar Protection:- General Principles and Application Examples (Lecture) Presented by A. VargheseBUSBAR PROTECTION ory In the early days of Power Systems, Busbars were regarded as intrinsically safe and left without specific protection. It was anticipated that system or back—up protection would provide sufficient cover. Many feared that accidental operation of Busbar protection, if fitted, would cause more disruption than that by a fault on unprotected bars. TeaneeBUSBAR PROTECTION x x ! | I t Los ra Tw fi?) T I ” T T | x x x I \ { | | t i * i There are fewer faults on busbars than on other parts of the power system. WITHOUT BUSBAR PROTECTION * No dislocation of system due to accidental operation of busbar protection * Slow Fault Clearance. Busbar faults at F1 and F2 are cleared by remote time delayed protection on circuits feeding the faults: Time Delayed Overcurrent or Time Delayed Distance ProtectionAs the Power System developed and fault levels increased Busbar Protection became essential since damage resulting from one uncleared fault may extend in magnitude up to the complete loss of the station by fire It is now usual to subdivide the Busbar into sections each of which is separately protected. A fault in one section does not involve tripping the complete station. Important loads can be then fed from two or more sections, and will not suffer interruption of supply if one section is tripped. easeBUSBAR FAULTS ARE USUALLY PERMANENT. CAUSES: * Insulation Failures Circuit Breaker Failures Falling Debris Isolators Operated Outside Their Ratings — Safety Earths Left Connected.

Ideal for the protection of phase segregated switchgear where earth fault protection only is required. DISADVANTAGES. 1). Insulation is required between switchgear sections. 2). It is not possible to discriminate between faults on two sets of busbars running through common switchgear frames. 3). Care must be taken in construction of the substation in order to ensure that the fixing bolts do not come in to contact with the steel reinforcing of the concrete. 7>— FRAME EARTH PROTECTION SCHEME —, > Only an earth fault system > Involves measuring fault current from switchgear frame to earth > Switchgear insulated by standing on concrete plinth > Only one earthing point allowed on switchgear > C.T. mounted on single earth conductor used to energise instantaneous relay > All cable glands must be insulated Froy— SINGLE ZONE FRAME-EARTH PROTECTION ‘Switchgear frame rs x H t t K Frame-earth fault relay y 1 { ' “ @—212 Trip all breakers circuit r— CURRENT DISTRIBUTION FOR EXTERNAL FAULT——— Outgoing feeder Swtchgearframe 5 ngear ame Frame-leakage current bar Ip=ly+ Io transformer / poone | Ch) Generator Frame insulation resistance to earth System earthing resistor Iy+ Tp Earthing electrode resistanceGeENeeAToe SYSTEN ERNIE Reterance FAgTiWG ELEeroDE fesisranee FIG.

Typical currents :— 30ma for use with 1 amp CTs 100ma for use with 5 amp CTs Tous-— DIFFERENTIAL RELAYS Relays used for high impedance protection are high stability, unbiased and tuned to nominal frequency. Two modular types are available :— MCAG14/34 Current calibrated with external stabilising resistor. MFAC14/34 Voltage calibrated with internal high impedance. -—CT WIRING SUPERVISION | Open circuit connections between CT’s and relay circuit result in unbalance currents which may operate the protection. Supervision is applied by a voltage relay across differential relay circuit. Supervision relay is time delayed, gives alarm and also shorts out bus wires to protect differential relay circuit. Typical effective setting is 25 primary amps or 10% of lowest circuit rating, which ever is greater.

Le a knowledge of the secondary exciting current, the secondary winding resistance and the turns ratio is sufficient to assess its performance and conesquently avoids the necessity to carry out heavy current conjunctive tests. WIRING Stability and sensitivity is maintained by keeping the lead burdens between c.t.'s as low as possible. Buswires are run in the form of a ring to give the following advantages:— (a). This prevents inadvertant operation due to disconnection of the buswires (b). It permits easier future extension of the scheme.EFFECT OF C.T.

In particular on installations where CT output not sufficient for high impedance application. Low impedance protection also operates on circulating current. Through fault stability often assured by low value stabilising resistance plus through load bias. 64807MODERN LOW IMPEDANCE BUSBAR PROTECTION Fast Modular scheme design allows relays to relate to each circuit and function of the protection. This enables the user to easily understand the principles of application. High sensitivity for phase and earth faults. Protection for each phase can be relatively independent Earlier schemes were less stable than high impedance schemes. Modern schemes incorporate saturation detectors and are extremely stable. Duplicate measuring circuits are included. Current transformers can be : of different ratio of relatively small output shared with other protections Current transformer secondary circuits are not switched. Continuous supervision of CT circuits and constant monitoring of vital circuits are included.TOTAL CURRENT It = Stn + Etout (lal Typical bias characteristic. “| &/ me —t ry = ff 2 rs i 5 orceaion zane ii 2 i | 7 gg 1 a ayy 13 )2 2k r seal 25 2 A ¢ 2 2 22 2Ck 23 10 DOUBLE BUS PROTECTION a eh = é 5 Bt a 5 tsi “Ja g--4 ~~ a r e é Ste tJ -----4 Ew eg | Pt sry t= « a = uw a = 2 te 5 - & o.||}©)6 | dP occ E- pe -— 3 7 = [=] MBCZ a ry 2kral 23 ~-1t qu 4 \ fA 7] TI "| bell 1 fl u 13} Ick BS 22 i zu F2 Bc }, [PSt | |Ps2 | |Ps3y| TH i | I! | pt Wit i t i REFERENCE DESCRIPTION MODULE DESIGNATION 21.23, 10K ZONE DIFFERENTIAL MBCZIG FiJ Fe FEEDER MODULE MBCZI2Z BS BUS SECTION MODULE macZ 13 8c BUS COUPLER HODULE MaCzI an ALARM MODULE MBC PSI, PSZ POWER SUPPLY MSTZ03 TH TEST HODULE maczi8 FIGURE CONNECTIONS FoR DOUBLE BLS PROTECTION SCHEMEa BS 2 ae 2b ee FI F2 FF Fe BC? 600mm TT pst |ps2 [ps3 | TH 71 | 73 |72}24 | | ps power suppLy +++ |_ TM TEST MODULE zex} gs am] | Z MAIN ZONE MODULE ZK CHECK ZONE MODULE - 5 | | AM ALARM MODULE 180mm BS BUS SECTION F FEEDER MODULE FA FA BE BUS COUPLER ee | BCI BC2 ; RACK/ CUBICLE LAYOUT FRONT VIEWStability with Saturated CTs Stability with Saturated CTs.Operation with Saturated CTs Operation with Saturated CTsDuplication of Circuits rr] Sup. t Bias [| Biditt rl — En, | nea [| tite areal | & deel] | Dual 4 Out of 4 Logic Main zone Check zone Dc1 BD1 Det BD1 —. —.
