Automatic source transfer (fig.

2) The system in figure 2 shows an installation with two busbars normally supplied by two sources with the coupling open (2/3 configuration). If source 1 is lost, the power system is reconfigured. Source 1 is opened and the coupling is closed; this automatic source transfer takes place according to a procedure: b initialization of the transfer by the detection of undervoltage (ANSI 27) on source 1 resulting in opening of the source 1 circuit breaker: Us = 70% Un, b inhibition of transfer if a fault is detected downstream from source 1 by an overcurrent protection unit (ANSI 50 and 50N), b enabling of transfer after the disappearance of voltage sustained by rotating machines is checked by the remanent undervoltage protection unit (ANSI 27R): Us = 25% Un, b enabling of transfer after verification that there is sufficient voltage (ANSI 59) on source 2 and closing of coupling circuit breaker: Us = 85% Un.

Load shedding function The load shedding function is used when a shortage of available power in comparison to the load demand causes an abnormal drop in voltage and frequency: certain consumer loads are disconnected according to a preset scenario, called a load shedding plan, in order to recover the required power balance. Different load shedding criteria may be chosen: b undervoltage (ANSI 27), b underfrequency (ANSI 81L), b rate of change of frequency (ANSI 81R).

There are two main classes of overtemperature thermal protective devices (49). One is a line break type, which interrupts load current directly. The second is a control circuit system using detector devices, which interrupts the motor current through its controller Stalled rotor: Motors have three modes of operation: locked rotor or stalled, acceleration, and running.--- A locked rotor (51LR) function is very common on this protection For Motor protection:1. Overcurrent protection-50, 51, 50N, 51N. 2. Directional ground Overcurrent protection-67N 3. Dynamic Cold Load pickup. 4. Voltage protection 27, 59. 5. Negative Sequence protection 46 6.

In systems with high-resistance neutral earthing (IE N Motor) I

Low impedance - Busbar protection


1) Cable-type current transformer is necessary for sensitive earth-fault protection
b) In systems with high-resistance neutral earthing (IE N Motor) I a) In systems with solid grounding or low-resistance neutral earthing (IE N Motor) I

2) Directional protection, Earth-fault monitoring

Especially used in multiple busbars for which an isolator replica is necessary Current transformers can be different Feeder protection can be connected to the same current transformer core
