Modal analysis
• Modal analysis is a mathematical tool similar to
symmetrical components used for analyzing
unbalanced faults on three ph power system.
• It can be shown that no. of natural Nodes is
equal to the no. of conductors involved in the
propagation.
• For example, 3 nodes in the case of a single
circuit line with 2 earth wires earthed at each
tower.
• The ph conductor V or I can be resolved into 3
sets of natural mode components at any point on
a lossy, reflection free three ph line.

NSD 50 Transmitter & Receiver
• Transmitter
• Applying DC voltage to the input Tx command interrupts
the Pilot /Guard signal.
• Tx Speech cut off.
• Protection coupler will generate trip frequency which will
be fed to PLCC panel & Tx Counter increments.
• Receiver
• Continuously monitor guard signal.
• When found any trip frequency with absence of guard
signal, Rx Speech is interrupted & Rx counter
increments.
• At the same time Rx command on the protection relay
is activated.
NSD 50 Trip Frequencies
• Command A 872 Hz
• Command B 1090 Hz
• A & B Permissive Trip/ Uncoded Commands
• Command C 654 Hz / 1526 Hz
• Command D 654 Hz / 1745 Hz
• C &D Direct Trip / Coded Commands
• A,B,C & D Commands are transmitted in
Speech band
Transmission time ,Security & Dependability
• The Performance of a protection coupler is
assessed by means of three criteria.
• The Transmission time
• The Security ( Unwanted command probability)
• The Dependability ( Missing command probability)
Permissive & Direct
• This scheme is used for protection of power line with
Distance relay.
• Tripping can only take place at the receiving end if a
tripping signal is being received and local protection relay
detects a fault.
• Transmission Time – 12ms
• Command Prolongation (Trip Extension) time- 20ms
• Transmission Time – 26 ms
• Command Prolongation time- 100 ms

DC 42 Transmitter & Receiver
When there is a fault, the trip signals will be extended to the
DC CPU through DC COMIO module.
The DC CPC sends the corresponding command to the DC
REC module.
DC REC module decodes the command and corresponding
frequency /frequencies are transmitted.
At the receiving end, the composite signals from the DC
REC is fed to DC CPU module which detects the presence
of trip signal ( only in absence of the guard signals ) & gives
the corresponding command logic high /low & also logic
lines corresponding to frequencies to DC CPU module.
DC CPU module decodes the logic lines and corresponding
relays are activated.
The remote end breakers will be tripped only when the
protection receiver depending on the nature of the fault
receives the assigned combination of Trip frequencies.
