Objective
We are here to help make your job easier.
This is very informal and designed around
ISO Applications. Please ask question.
We are not here to preach to you.
The knowledge base on GE Multilin
Relays varies greatly at ISO. If you have
a question, there is a good chance there
are 3 or 4 other people that have the same
question. Please ask it.

Protection
Selection of protective relays requires
compromises:
Maximum and Reliable protection at minimum
equipment cost
High Sensitivity to faults and insensitivity to
maximum load currents
High-speed fault clearance with correct
selectivity
Selectivity in isolating small faulty area
Ability to operate correctly under all
predictable power system conditions

Protection
Cost of protective relays should be
balanced against risks involved if
protection is not sufficient and not
enough redundancy.
Primary objectives is to have faulted
zones primary protection operate first,
but if there are protective relays
failures, some form of backup
protection is provided.
Backup protection is local (if local
primary protection fails to 14
clear fault)
and remote (if remote protection

Overlap
1. Overlap is accomplished by the locations of CTs, the key
source for protective relays.
2. In some cases a fault might involve a CT or a circuit breaker
itself, which means it can not be cleared until adjacent
breakers (local or remote) are opened.

Current Transformers
Current transformers are used to step primary system
currents to values usable by relays, meters, SCADA,
transducers, etc.
CT ratios are expressed as primary to secondary;
2000:5, 1200:5, 600:5, 300:5
A 2000:5 CT has a CTR of 400

58
GE Consumer & Industrial
Standard IEEE CT Relay
Accuracy
IEEE relay class is defined in terms of the voltage a CT
can deliver at 20 times the nominal current rating
without exceeding a 10% composite ratio error.

For example, a relay class of C100 on a 1200:5 CT means that


the CT can develop 100 volts at 24,000 primary amps
(1200*20) without exceeding a 10% ratio error. Maximum
burden = 1 ohm.

100 V = 20 * 5 * (1ohm)
200 V = 20 * 5 * (2 ohms)
400 V = 20 * 5 * (4 ohms)
800 V = 20 * 5 * (8 ohms)

System Grounding
1. Ungrounded: There is no
intentional ground applied to
the system-however its
grounded through natural
capacitance. Found in 2.4-
15kV systems.

2. Reactance Grounded: Total


system capacitance is
cancelled by equal inductance.
This decreases the current at
the fault and limits voltage
across the arc at the fault to
decrease damage. 68
GE Consumer & Industrial
System Grounding
3. High Resistance Grounded:
Limits ground fault current to
10A-20A. Used to limit
transient overvoltages due to
arcing ground faults.
R0 <= X0C/3, X0C is capacitive
zero sequence reactance
4. Low Resistance Grounded: To
limit current to 25-400A
R0 >= 2X0

69
GE Consumer & Industrial
System Grounding

5. Solidly Grounded: There is a


connection of transformer or
generator neutral directly to
station ground.
Effectively Grounded: R0 <=
X1, X0 <= 3X1, where R is
the system fault resistance

GE Consumer & Industrial
A Bad Day in System
Protection
CTs or VTs are shorted, opened, or their wiring is
Relays do not declare fault due to setting errors,

Arc Flash Hazard

122
GE Consumer & Industrial
Arc Flash Mitigation:
Problem Description
An electric arc flash can occur if a conductive object gets
too close to a high-amp current source or by equipment
failure (ex., while opening or closing disconnects, racking
out)
The arc can heat the air to temperatures as high as 35,000 F, and
vaporize metal in equipment
The arc flash can cause severe skin burns by direct heat exposure
and by igniting clothing
The heating of the air and vaporization of metal creates a pressure
wave (arc blast) that can damage hearing and cause memory loss
(from concussion) and other injuries.
Flying metal parts are also a hazard.

123
GE Consumer & Industrial
Methods to Reduce
Arc Flash Hazard
Arc flash energy may be expressed in I2t terms,
so you can decrease the I or decrease the t to
lessen the energy
Protective relays can help lessen the t by
optimizing sensitivity and decreasing clearing time
Protective Relay Techniques
Other means can lessen the I by limiting fault
current
Non-Protective Relay Techniques

124
GE Consumer & Industrial
Non-Protective Relaying Methods
of Reducing Arc Flash Hazard
System design Electronic current limiters (these
modifications increase devices sense overcurrent and
interrupt very high currents with
power transformer replaceable conductor links
impedance (explosive charge)
Addition of phase reactors Arc-resistant switchgear (this
Faster operating breakers really doesn't reduce arc flash
Splitting of buses energy; it deflects the energy
away from personnel)
Current limiting fuses
Optical arc flash protection via
(provides partial protection fiber sensors
only for a limited current Optical arc flash protection via
range) lens sensors

125
GE Consumer & Industrial
Protective Relaying Methods
of Reducing Arc Flash Hazard
Bus differential protection (this FlexCurve for improved
reduces the arc flash energy by coordination opportunities
reducing the clearing time Employ 51VC/VR on feeders
Zone interlock schemes where fed from small generation to
bus relay selectively is allowed improve sensitivity and
to trip or block depending on coordination
location of faults as identified Employ UV light detectors with
from feeder relays current disturbance detectors
Temporary setting changes to for selective gear tripping
reduce clearing time during
maintenance
Sacrifices coordination
