Some comments on CT locations

according to alternative 1

Fault at F1 will be cleared instantaneously

Fault at F2 will be cleared through LBB

For fault in overlapped zone both circuits get

disconected

In parallel connected CTs there could be

dissimilar performance resulting in out of
balance current

Autoreclosing takes place for faults in parallel

connected CTs

Priority Unit

Priority unit allows closing of one breaker first

and upon successful reclosing of this breaker
the second breaker is allowed to close

This reduces wear and tear of breaker when

they are to reclose on persistent faults

Auto reclosure circuits

If DC supply to the group in which reclosing

relay is connected fails in the event of asingle
phase fault only the protection in the other
group operates and gives single phase trip
signal to breakers but there will be no
autoreclosing

To avoid this DC fail relay of auto reclose DC

circuit converts single phase trip impulse of
line protection in the other group to three
phase trip

under the following conditions

Manual trip or automatic trip of main breaker

when the tie breaker is open

Manual trip or automatic trip of tie breaker

when main breaker is open

Breaker fail relay of main breaker operated

Breaker fail relay of tie breaker operated

Three phase unit A or B operated

Bus bar protection operated (If tie CB Open)

Line and Reactor Protection Cubicles

Group A and Group B protections are

connected to separate DC source and are in
separate cubicles

CT and PT connections are from independent

cores

Over voltage protection is duplicated

Direct trip channels are separate for group A

and B

Group -A
Reactor dif relay
Back up relay
Oil temp trip
Pressure relief trip

Group -B
Buchholz trip
Restricted E/F relay
Winding temp trip
Oil level high/low trip

Breaker Relay Panels

Trip Unit A trips TC-1 and Trip Unit B Trips

TC-2 and these are housed in different
cubicles

Auto reclose relay is in Group A

Breaker fail relay is in Group B

If tripping of both TC1 and TC2 is arranged

from these trip units , both group A and Group
B breaker relays can be housed in one
cubicle
