    BASIC PROTECTIVE RELAYING

    Relays are compact analog, digital, and numerical devices

    that are connected throughout the power system to detect

    intolerable or unwanted conditions within an assigned area.

    They are, in effect, a form of active insurance designed to

    maintain a high degree of service continuity and limit

    equipment damage. They are Silent Sentinels.

    1. PROTECTI VE RELAYS

    Detect defective lines, defective apparatus, or other

    dangerous or intolerable conditions. These relays generally

    trip one or more circuit breakers, but may also be used tosound an alarm

    2. VERI FI CATI ON OR MONI TORI NG RELAYS

    One whose functions is to verify power system conditions

    with respect to prescribed limits and to initiate or permit

    automatic functions other than opening a circuit breaker

    during fault conditions. These relays includes fault detectors,

    alarm units, channel-monitoring relays, synchronism

    verification, and network phasing.

    3. RECLOSI NG RELAYS

    Establish reclosing sequence for a circuit breaker following

    tripping by protective relays.

    4. REGULATI NG RELAYS

    Are activated when an operating parameter deviates from

    predetermined limits. Regulating relays function throughsupplementary equipment to restore the quantity to the

    prescribed limits.

    Ex: OFR, UFR

    5. AUXI LLARY RELAYS

    Operates in response to the opening or closing of the

    operating circuit to supplement or assist another relay or

    device. These include timers, contacts-multiplier relays,

    sealing units, isolating relays, lockout relays, closing relays

    and trip relays.

    6. SYNCHRONI ZI NG RELAYS

    Assure that proper conditions exist for interconnecting two

    sections of a power system.

    BASIC PROTECTIVE RELAYING(I. INTRODUCTION)

    Branch of electric power engineering concerned with the

    principles of design and operation of equipment (called

    relays or protective relays) which detect abnormal

    power system conditions, and initiate corrective action as

    quickly as possible in order to return the power system to

    its normal state.

    Dependability

    Relays must detect designated abnormalsystem conditions on the power system

    Speed

    Relay systems should operate as quickly aspossible in order to minimize the duration of

    system disturbances

    Economy

    The cost of the relay system should be as lowas possible

    Security

    Relays must never misinterpret normalcurrents and voltages as conditions which

    require tripping

    Selectivity

    Relay systems should only trip as much ofthe system as necessary to de-energize

    distressed components

    Reliability

    It is not possible to build a system which will never fail.

    shall make thy tripping decisions in terms of a second

    split into a hundred parts.

    3. Thou shall not trip faults outside thy zone of protection

    except in back-up assistance to a failing brother.

    4. Thou shall not trip under heavy load conditions even

    though thy coils do carry much current.

    Provide fault detection in the end zones

    Must over reach the end of the line for selectivity(typically set 120% of line impedance)

    Ideally will not over reach first zone in adjacent line segments

    But must be selective with first zone of adjacent lines

    Causes of Most Transmission Line Faults:

    Lightning induced flashover

    Insulator contamination Trees or brush growing into the line

    Animals and birds

    Most (80-90%) of Transmission Line Faults are non-persistent if the fault is de-energized promptly

    After the Ionized Air in the Vicinity of the Fault Dissipatesthe line can be re-energized

    Single Pole Trip and Reclose:

    Trip and reclose only the faulted phase

    Applied most often on EHV lines

    Greater assurance of successful reclose

    Maintain power transfer and synchronism throughtwo healthy phases

    Require more complex relaying (phase

    discrimination)

    Require more expensive breakers

    Deionization time is considerably longer
