The maximum fault current (IF ) The maximum fault current (IF ) or Maximum short circuit current is the base value for design the substation system. The Equipment specifications and relay settings are calculated based on the Maximum fault current value of the system. The Maximum fault current is specified in the standard for each system voltage For Example : In SEC standard TES - P-119.02 CLAUSE 8.2.4 SYSTEM VOLTAGE
SHORT CIRCUIT CURRENT
380 kV 230 kV 115 kV 34.5 kV 13.8 kV
63kA 63kA 40 kA 25 kA 21 kA
Consider 380kV system IF - 60kA If - Maximum fault current in CT secondary = 21 A for CT 3000/1 Tap selection Rct - CT secondary Resistance Rct can get from the CT specification Consider 3000/1 Tap used for Bus bar protection and Rct = 4.65 ohms

Sajjad ahmed qureshi RL - Lead resistance of cable Example: 6 Sqmm cable RL = 0.00308 ohm/meter at 20 dec C RL at 75 dec C = RL ( 1+ ∞ 20 (T2-T1)) Consider length = 500m RL at 75 dec C =1.88 ohms Stabilizing voltage Vs ≥ IF * ( Rct + (2 * RL)) Vs = 21 X ( 4.65 + ( 2 X 1.88 )) = 177 volts Consider 20% Margin = 177 x 1.2 = 211.932 volts Hence select Vs = 275 volts Therefore in maximum fault current the voltage developed across the CT secondary at the relay end is 275 V. VOLTAGE OPERATE RELAY (MFAC - AREVA) Calculate voltage actually need to operate the relay or total voltage drop in the secondary circuit during the Maximum fault condition Is = Total secondary current drop Is = CT Magnetizing current + CT supervision relay coil current ( MVTP) + Protection relay coil current for set value (MFCA SETTING RANGE 25-325 V) + Metrosil leakage current = Im + I mvtp +Ir + Imetrosil Consider 8 CTs are connected parallel = (0.005 x 8) + 0.003 + 0.03 + 0.018 Is = 0.091 A This is the secondary current drop during the fault condition. In other words this is the current enough to operate the protection relay. PRD BY NSH

Sajjad ahmed qureshi Convert this current to Primary value in 3000/1 ratio CT Ip = Is x 3000 = 273 Amps Voltage for 63000A is 275V Voltage for 273A is ? 63000 / 273 =275/ Vsec Vsec = 1.2 volts This voltage is enough to operate the relay. This voltage and current is too small compared to Maximum fault current and corresponding voltage. This secondary operating current can achieve even leakage or through fault. So we have to decide the fault current at which the relay should operate Shunt Resistor Say The primary fault current 742A at which the relay should operate. This is called bias value and up to this value relay should not operate. To achieve this condition add some resistance and increase the Is secondary leakage current value. This External resistor should perllaly connect with Relay. Ip = (Is + (Vs/Rsh)) x 3000 742 = (Is + 275/Rsh) x 3000 Rsh = 1759.7 ohms So select the 2700 ohms Variable resister and adjust the value. Adjust the resistance value according to our primary operating fault current requirement .

Example Manifa Final relay setting for MFAC relay Vs = 175 V Ir = 0.20A Rsr = 850 Omhs Therefore Ip = (Is +Vs/Rsh) x 3000 Ip = (((0.005 x 8) + 0.003 + 0.03 + 0.018) + (175/850) ) x 3000) =888 Amps should be develop in primary and 0.266 Amps should be flow through the Secondary circuit to operate the relay with this setting. CURRENT OPERATE RELAY (MCAG - AREVA) All other calculations are same except Stabilising Resistor Relay setting Voltage Vs = 275 Volts Relay setting current Ir = 0.2 Amps Relay burden at 275V setting is consider as 1 VA Stabilising resistor required Rsr = ( Vs/Ir) - ( Relay burden - Ir^2) Rsr = 1350 Omhs Select the resistor range 0-1500 Ohms CT SUPERVISION RELAY This relay parallely connected with Main protection relay

Consider 'R' phase wire open in CT -2. The CT-1 load current will start to flow through both relays. This is not a fault current but it causes unnecessary trip. To avoid this trip CT supervision relay is used. The voltage setting of this relay is very low with time delay. So this relay will operated for leakage current and its contact short the CT. Main relay setting is Grater then this value and instantaneous. So for heavy internal busbar fault Main protection will operate immediately. Final relay setting Vs=14 v Time = 3 sec Open 'R' phase CT will save by metrosil mounted near the CT marshaling box. METROSIL This is non liner resistor During Heavy fault condition Protection relay will immediately clear the fault . If fault not clear and secondary fault voltage will damage the relay. This kind of situation Metrosil will short the CT secondary circuit and save the relay coil. Some times circuit is open due to relay coil damage. In this situation if fault occur heavy voltage will develop and CT get damage. To avoid this metosil will short the circuit and save the CT. Metrosil should withstand the for voltage develop due to maximum shout circuit stability voltage Vs.

Sajjad ahmed qureshi Don't inject the current continuously to the relay. Because relay will get damage. PROCEDURE FOR BUSBAR DIFFERENTIAL STABILITY 1. Check the polarity P1-P2 and S1-S2 for the Incomer panel and the feeder panel physically and verify it as per the drawing. 2. Check the CT ratio of Bus differential core for Incomer is same as for the Feeder. 3. Connect the primary injection kit one end of the cable to Phase A of the Incomer Panel and other end of the cable to Phase A of the feeder panel. 4. The circulation of the current should flow from the incomer secondary to the feeder secondary current circuit. 5. Check the FT switches links for the corresponding CT circuits are closed. 6. Inject 10% (for eg. Say 50A and ct ratio 500/5A) of the current through the test kit. 7.
Measure the current flowing thro FT in Incomer Panel A Phase CT circuit. (Approximately it will come 0.5 A)
8. Measure the current flowing thro FT in the Feeder panel A phase CT circuit. (Approximately it will come 0.5 A). 9. Measure the Current flowing in the Relay is 0 Amps and the relay will not sense any fault current for trip. This shows the Stability of the Differential relay. 10. Switch off the primary injection test kit. 11. Now to check the operation of the relay, swap the polarity S1-S2 for any one the incomer CT circuit or the feeder CT circuit. 12. Inject the current again in the same phase; the relay will operate to trip the circuit. Measure the current in the Relay (Approximately it will come 1A), it reads summation of the incomer and feeder secondary current to operate the relay. This shows the Sensitivity of the Differential relay. 13. Turn off the Injection test kit. 14. Normalize the CT circuit back as per the system. 15. Similarly follow the above same procedure for B phase and C phase and also for the other Outgoing feeders
