VOLTAGE OPERATED
Stabilizing voltage
The voltage developed across the CT secondary during maximum fault condition.
Vs If * ( Rct + (2 * RL))
IF
Rct
- CT secondary Resistance
RL
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
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.
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.
Busbar Stability Test
1. Current operated Relay
1. Calculate the Primary operating current for relay setting value current
Ex: Relay setting 20%
CT ratio = 3000/1
20 % of secondary current 0.2Amps
Primary Current 600 Amps
2. Short the Stabilising resistor with small shorting wire
3. Drown out the CT supervision Relay to reduce the load for Primary injection kit.
4. Drown out the Main protection relay and circuit will short in side and get closed path.
5. Open the metrosil one side wire ( Don't short the Metrosil)
5. Slowly inject the primary current and reach 0.2 Ampls secondary
6. Now inset the Protection relay let it operate and measure the current.
7. Primary current value will if Metrosil , Resistor , CT supervision relay are include in
the circuit.
2. Voltage operated Relay
1. Calculate the Primary operating current for relay setting value voltage
Ex: Relay setting 175v Rsh = 1500 Ohms
CT ratio = 3000/1
Don't inject the current continuously to the relay. Because relay will get
damage.
