HV DC Busbar Differential Protection (87HV)

Protection Task

Faults to ground or neutral within protection zone

Evaluation Principle Abs(IdLH IdCH) > threshold

Initiated Sequences At rectifier: Converter Block to Pole Control At inverter: Converter Block to Pole Control, Bypass Pair Firing Inhibit Retarded Protection Task for both stations if firing pulses are blocked: Opening of HSNBS ESOF to Pole Control Typical settings Threshold = 0.25 p.u. Delay time = 10 ms
