The pilot wires are used to connect the relays. Under normal working conelton, the two currents at bath ends are equal ‘and pilot wires do not carry any current, Keeping relays inoperative. Under faut conditions, The two currents at two ends are no longer same, this causes circulating euront flow through pilot wires.

Hence no current flows through relays Under fault condition, two currents at the two ends are diferent. Thus the secondary voltages of the two C.Ts also difer. This circulates a circulating current through the pilot wires and the relays, Thus the relays trip the circult breakers to isolate the faulty section The advantages of this method are, 1. Can be used for parallel as well as ring main system. 2. Provides instantaneous protection tothe ground faults. pin yourelectichame.com/2011/0shstferental-protection-otfeeders.himl “42is012018 The limitations of this method are, 41. The C.T.s used must match accurately. 2, The pilot wires must be healthy without discontinuity, 3. Economically not suitable as the cost is high due to long pilot wires. 4, Due to long plot wires, capacitive effects may affect the operation of the relays. 12 Tanslay Scheme The transla relay is another type of diferential relay. The arrangement is similar to overcurrent relay but the secondary winding is not closed on itself ‘Additonaly copper ring or copper shading bands are provided on the central limb ‘as shown in the Fig, 2. Fewie rey os ex / | vivrsecomormt a hl 5 com Sa = These type of relays are used in the feeder protection and the scheme is called ‘Transiay scheme. In this scheme, two such relays are employed at the two ends of feeder as shown in the Fig. 3 cr. ox Fig. 3 Taney scheme of feeder protection ‘The secondaries of the two relays are connected to each other using pilot wires. The connection is such that the voltages induced in the two secondaries ‘oppose each other. The copper colls are used to compensate the effect of pilot wire capacitance currents and unbalance between two currents transformers. Under normal operating conditions, the current atthe two ends ofthe feeder is, ‘same. The primaries of the two relays carry the same currents inducing the same voltage in the secondaries. As these two voltages are in opposition, no current flows through the two secondaries circuits and no torque is exerted on the discs of both the relays, pin yourelectichome.com/2011/0sksiferental-proection-olfeedershiml Diferental Protection of Feeders (Plote Wire Protection) | your electrical home LABELS appendix Basic basics of transmission and distribution CB devices cables Circuit Breaker D.C, Generator D.C.

Hence unequal voltages are induced in the secondaries. Hence the circulating current flows in the secondary circuit causing torque to be exerted on the disc of ‘each relay. But as the secondaries are in opposition, hence torque in one relay ‘operates so as to close the trip circuit while in other relay the torque just holds the movement in unoperated position. The care is taken that atleast one relay operates under the fault condition Role of copper ring : Mainly relays may operate because of unbalance in the current transformers, The copper rings are so adjusted that the torque due to current induced in the copper ring due to primary winding of relay is restraining and do not allow the disc to rotate, Its adjusted just to neutralise the effect of unbalance between current transformers. The copper rings also neutralise the effect of pilot capacitive currents. Though the feeder current is same at two ends, the pilot capacitive currents may allow inthe pilots, This current leads the secondary voltage by 90°. The copper rings are adjusted such that no torque Is exerted on the disc, {due to such capacitive pilot currents, by adjusting the angle between the induced current in the disc and secondary current to be 90°. The advantages of this scheme are, 1. Only two pilot wires are required. 2. The costis very low, 3. The current transformers with normal design can be employed. 4. The capacitive effects of plot wire currents do not affect the operation ofthe relays. ‘Sponsored links : i —— jigox B & Gasifie Safety Separation Combustion, NonStop Indus Eneray Supp, Buy!
