4th solution depends on the connection between the relay and the metal structure
of the CT and the ground
so if the turns of the relay is in contact with the CT , a high fault current will flow
through the connection and will be detected quickly []
5th solution : unlike the previous solution we can secure EF protection with phase
protection which comes with a higher cost that the previous solutions but it more
reliable
*OC-1 & OC-2 & OC-3 : is short for "Optical Carrier" with different transmission rate
are a standardized set of specifications of transmission bandwidth for digital signals
that can be carried on Synchronous Optical Networking (SONET) fiber optic
networks.
6th solution is called "Residual Voltage Relay" in this method instead of using
currents to detect the fault, we use the voltage of the three phases lines using VT
(voltage transformer)
as in normal cases the sum (Residual Voltage) of the three voltages is zero , in the
EF cases the sum equals to 3Vo
notes : how to connect the
the VT is connected between every phase line and the neutral so the relay could
read the value of the line voltage separately
to read the sum of the three voltages (Residual Voltage) we use a connection
called (residual connection) which is used to detect unsymmetrical faults
but this method can't detect symmetrical faults as it can't separate the fault case
(voltage sum is zero) from the normal case
