This document is not meant to supersede the requirements of the National Electrical Code. It is intended to supplement those requirements and to define the basic protection philosophy so that standardization of schemes and devices can be established, CONFLICTS AND DEVIATIONS 21 Conflicts Any conflicts between this general specification and other Unocal specifications or between this specification and the industry codes and standards listed herein shall be brought to the attention of the Unocal representative who will resolve the conflict in consultation with the appropriate parties. 22 Deviations This specification defines the minimum requirements which Unocal will normally find acceptable. This document recognizes that the application of power-system and equipment protection involves a certain degree of compromise and judgment based on experience, and that the philosophy presented herein may not always provide the optimum solution to any specific situation. Accordingly, the engineer is encouraged to exercise experience and judgment in the development of the protection scheme. However, any deviations providing less than the minimum requirements of this specification shall be addressed to Unocal for resolution.

SYSTEM GROUNDING The method of grounding the power-system neutral involves each of the following sections of this specification. Accordingly, the subject of system grounding as it applies to Unocal installations will be addressed at this stage of the document 61 Low-Voltage Systems 240/120-volt single-phase three-wire and 208Y/120-volt three-phase four-wire systems are solidly grounded so that loads can be connected between line and neutral. Bolted phase-to-ground faults will be detected by the phase-overcurrent elements, but the possibility of arcing ground faults does exist. The application of ground-fault interrupters (GF ls) is a general practice on receptacle and wet-location Circuits. However, these devices are indended primarily for personnel safety rather than for system protection The original 480-volt three-phase three-wire systems installed on Unocal platfroms in the Gulf of Thailand were solidly grounded. This lead to a number of problems, most notably circulating third-harmonic Zero-sequence currents, and the further use of solidly-grounded 480- volt systems has been discouraged. Power circuit breakers used in solidly-grounded 480-volt applications have been equipped with direct- acting ground fault elements. However, because molded-case breakers and motor-control circiruts were not equipped with ground- fault devices, coordination of ground-fault protection can not be established | GENERAL SPECIFICATION GS-48 Unocal Thailand POWER-SYSTEM AND | Revision 0 ELECTRICAL-EQUIPMENT PROTECTION | Page 9 of 48 7.0 6.2 Newer 480-volt systems have been high-resistance grounded with the resistors sized to limit ground faults to five amperes or less. On these systems, the presence of a ground fault is detected by a voltage relay placed across the grounding resistor. This ground-fault signal is used to initiate an alarm rather than to cause a breaker-trip operation The high-resistance grounding system uses a pulser to periodically cut out part of the resistance and a clip-tong detector to trace the location of the system fault. These schemes do not employ down-stream ground-detection devices. Medium-Voltage Systems Medium-voltage systems are low-resistance grounded using resistors sized to limit the ground-fault contribution from each source to 400 amperes. Fault currents of this magnitude contain energy capable of inflicting damage and require dependable detection and early isolation, System-protection schemes should employ instantaneous elements where possible. However, where instantaneous elements will not coordinate with down-stream protection, inverse-time/current devices without instantaneous elements should be used. INTERRUPTING DEVICES 7A 7.2 Power Fuses Fuses are not used in Unocal Thailand power-system installations except for the protection of contro! circuits and associated apparatus. The subject of power fuses is not addressed by this specification Molded-Case Circuit Breakers Molded-case breakers are employed in low-voltage applications where possible because they generally provide an economic and reliable solution to system-protection requirements Circuit breakers with only magnetic elements (MCPs), in combination with contactors equipped with thermal-type overload relays, are used to protect low-voltage motor circuits. Molded-case breakers equipped with both thermal and magnetic-type elements can be used to protect feeder and transformer circuits, | GENERAL SPECIFICATION GS-48 Unocal Thailand | POWER-SYSTEM AND Revision 0 8.0 | ELECTRICAL-EQUIPMENT PROTECTION | Page 10 of 48 Older 480-volt installations used molded-case breakers and MCPs with integral current-limiting fuses in high-fault current applications. More current practice has been to employ breakers with 65,000-ampere interrupting capacity. 7.3. Low-Voltage Power Breakers Low-voltage power circuit breakers will be used in those situations where molded-case breakers are not adequate for the particular application, Where possible, power circuit breakers will incorporate integral solid- state trip (SST) units. In applications where the solid-state trip units do Not provide the full range of functions required, the solid-state trip units shall be supplemented by the inclusion of appropriate protective relays into the scheme. 7.4 Medium-Voltage Power Breakers All medium-voltage switchgear will employ power circuit breakers. Unocal Thailand does not permit the use load-interrupter gear or NEMA class-E2 medium-voltage motor-control equipment. Medium-voltage power circuit breakers will be controlled by appropriate protective relays, PROTECTIVE RELAYS Protective relays may be of the electro-mechanical type or the solid-state type. Where available, relays should be provided with drawout-type flush-mounted cases. Test plugs should be provided to permit testing the relays in their cases. The test plugs should be of a type which automatically short circuits the current transformers and disconnects the trip circuits Where available, microprocessor-based systems incorporating a range of protection features, such as the General Electric DGP modular generator- Protection package and the Westinghouse 10-1000 motor-protection system may be employed. When necessary, supplemental protective relays shall be included in the scheme. Unocal Thailand | Revision 0 _ | ELECTRICAL-EQUIPMENT PROTECTION | Page 11 of 48 F 9.0 GENERAL SPECIFICATION |. Gs-48 POWER-SYSTEM AND The following sections mention specific manufactures and device types. The specification is not intended to limit the protective systems to those items identified. Other items may be employed subject to the approval of the Unocal representative. GENERATOR PROTECTION 92 81 General Electrical power is generated on Unocal platforms at low voltage (480 volts) or at medium voltage (4,160 volts or 13,800 volts) In both cases the generators are direct connected to load buses. Unit connected generators employing dedicated power transformers for connection to the power system are not used by Unocal in offshore applications. Low-Voltage Generators 8.2.1 Low-voltage generators are generally rated at less than 1,500- kVA and are not considered to justify the expense of elaborate or extensive protection 9.2.2 The minimum requirements for a low-voltage generator protection scheme are shown on Figure 9.1. The protective devices to be employed for a low-voltage generator are shown on the following chart.

Voltage-balance relay compares potentials of voltage- regulator reference potential transformers with the voltages of the corresponding phases of the metering and protection-circuit potential transformers. A difference of voltage indicates a loss of phase or fuse failure. Indication of potential loss in the metering and protection circuit blocks the loss-of-excitation relay (device 40) and the voltage-controlled overcurrent relays (device 51V) and initiates an alarm. Indication of potential loss from the regulator-reference transformerstrips the field breaker (device 41) and the generator breaker (device 52) via auxiliary-tripping relay (device 94F). May be incorporated into prime-mover control and protection system,
