3.6.1 General
Equipment shall be selected in accordance with the relevant IEC 60079 series and shall be suitable
for use in the designated zone, apparatus group and surface temperature classification in which it is
located as defined in the project hazardous area drawings.
Electrical equipment and components for use in a hazardous area shall be designed, tested and
marked in accordance with the IEC 60079 series. For the certification of this equipment “IEC Ex”
shall be applied.
Areas which are pressurised with clean, filtered air and classified as "non hazardous" may be
equipped with normal industrial type equipment. Where the loss of pressurisation means the area
reverts to a Zone 1 (respectively Zone 2) hazardous area, then any equipment required to remain
energised shall be certified for use in a Zone 1 (respectively Zone 2) hazardous area.
Electrical equipment for use in hazardous atmospheres shall be selected in accordance with each of
the following criteria:
* The type of protection appropriate for the zone classification.
* The temperature classification of the equipment (T class) appropriate for the gases or vapors
involved.

* The equipment subgroup (applicable to types of protection d and I) appropriate for the gases
or vapors involved.
* The equipment construction appropriate for the environmental conditions.
* All the electrical equipment such as lighting fixtures, junction boxes and receptacles used
outdoor in the process, the turret and the utilities areas shall be suitable for Zone 2 minimum
whether those areas are classified as Zone 2 or non-hazardous areas.
Although many types of protection are available, the following shall be considered in the final
selection:
* For Zone 1, LV motors and all inherently non-sparking equipment, e.g., junction boxes and
luminaries shall have type of protection 'e' in accordance with IEC 60079-7. Type of
protection 'e' shall be preferred for the selection of lighting fixtures, terminals, joint boxes,
etc.
HV motors and all inherently sparking equipment, e.g., switchgear and control gear, shall have
type of protection ’d’ in accordance with IEC 60079-1. Where such type of protection is not
available, e.g., large high speed HV motors, type of protection 'p' shall be used. HV motors with
type of protection 'e' shall not be used.
* For Zone 2, motors and inherently non-sparking equipment shall have type of protection 'n',
albeit equipment approved for Zone 1 is also acceptable. Inherently sparking equipment shall
have type of protection ’d’ or 'p', as stated for Zone 1.
HV motors with type of protection 'n' or 'e' shall not be installed in Zone 2 areas when they
drive a centrifugal/screw hydrocarbon gas compressor. These motors shall have type of
protection 'd' or 'p'.
* In general, electrical equipment shall not be installed in a Zone 0 hazardous area. Where this
cannot be avoided then EEx'ia' certified equipment only will be acceptable.
* Equipment offering protection types 'h', 'm' and 'r' (hermetically sealed, encapsulated,
restricted breathing) may only be used with specific approval by the COMPANY.
* When installing equipment with 'p' type of protection, due attention shall be paid also to the
design of ducting, control, safety and alarm devices. This type of protection should only be
used where there is no other economic alternative and shall be subject to approval by the
COMPANY. The pressurizing control system shall be certified.
* Except where stated otherwise in the project documentation, all equipment specified for
hazardous areas shall have a temperature classification T3 and gas group IIA in accordance
with IEC 60079 - Part 1.

5.6.3 Protection
The prime objectives of electrical protection system are to:

Prelude FLNG Project ELECTRICAL DESIGN MANUAL
* reliably identify system faults and automatically initiate action to isolate the affected plant
whilst minimising disruption to the healthy part of the system,
* prevent, or minimise, equipment damage by early identification of fault conditions and rapid
control action,
* identify abnormal conditions that could affect personnel safety (e.g. touch voltages of faulted
equipment) and avoid these by design,
* maintain full plant availability – i.e. avoid nuisance trips.
To meet the above objectives, the main requirements applicable to the design of the protection
system are:
* Redundancy - i.e. if a single protection device or circuit fails there shall be an independent
secondary method for fault identification and isolation. A single relay shall not be used as
both main and back-up protection e.g. differential and over-current. However, it is permitted
to use a single relay for two separate main protection functions, e.g. differential and
restricted earth fault protections, which may also share current transformers.
NOTE: Secondary protection need not have such stringent requirements for minimal disruption
as the primary protection.
* The possibility of dormant, un-revealed faults in protection systems shall be minimised by
design - e.g. use of trip circuit supervision, self-checking relays etc.
* Positive operation for the full range of anticipated system fault levels.
* Fault clearance within the critical clearing times to ensure system stability.
* Stable operation for short time overloads and normal system transients such as motor starting
currents; transformer magnetising inrush currents, switching surges etc.
* Protection of electrical equipment.
The overall protection philosophy shall be based on the application of either unit/zone protection
scheme (e.g. HV generators and HV distribution equipment) or time-current graded over-current
devices (e.g. LV distribution system, lighting circuits).
The protective systems shall be designed to achieve selective isolation of faulted equipment with
minimum delay and within a time corresponding to the short circuit current withstand capability of
equipment, system stability limits and the maximum fault clearance times.
Maximum fault clearance time and protection settings shall be determined based on the power
system studies (5.7) to be performed by the CONTRACTOR. These settings shall be fully effective
for every operating conditions of the electrical system including the conditions of minimum
generation (essential or emergency generator operation). In that respect, the numerical protective
devices shall be chosen to cater with multiple setting groups to be selected via the ENMCS or
alternatively locally according to switchgear position switches.
The selection and specification of switching and protective devices, control circuits and associated
auxiliary equipment for HV and LV switchgear shall be in accordance with the following project
documents:
* 2000-110-F001-UT01-U40000-EA-2384-00003 – [HV Switchgear Schematic Diagram]
* 2000-110-F001-UT01-U40000-EA-2384-00004 – [LV Switchgear Schematic Diagram]

5.6.4 Intertripping
Intertripping shall be provided between associated switchboard and switchgear to correctly isolate
faulty items and to leave the system in a predictable orderly state after the operation of protection
devices.
The following general principles shall govern the design of the intertripping functions:
* Operation of the downstream incomer protection shall trip the downstream incomer and
intertrip the corresponding upstream outgoing feeder circuit.
* Tripping by protection of an upstream breaker shall cause the corresponding downstream
breaker to be tripped.
Electrical interfaces such as hard wired status contacts, interlocks, intertripping signals, load
sharing lines between electrical equipment located in areas which are provided with dedicated air
intakes and gas detection features shall be designed so as to prevent voltages from control and/or
communication circuit being introduced from a different location in case a specific area is shut
down due to confirmed gas detection. In particular the following general principles shall generally
be applied:
1. Fibre optic shall be used for communication circuit between equipments located in separate
rooms. Use of copper wires as communication support shall be subject to COMPANY approval
and requires specific measures to be implemented for de-energizing communication lines in case of
ESD (on both ends).
2. For potential free interfaces from electrical equipment located in the Living
Quarter/Accommodation Area to Topsides or Hull or Turret, the loop power shall generally be
derived from the electrical equipment located on the Topsides or Hull or Turret.
3. For potential free interfaces from electrical equipment located on the Topsides or Hull or Turret
to electrical equipment located in the Living Quarter/Accommodation Area, the loop power shall
be derived from the electrical equipment located on the Topsides or Hull or Turret.
4. For potential free interfaces from electrical equipment located on the Topsides or Turret to
electrical equipment located in the Hull, the loop power shall be derived from the electrical
equipment located on the Topsides or Turret.
5. For potential free interfaces from electrical equipment located in the Hull to electrical
equipment located on the Topsides or Turret, the loop power shall be derived from the electrical
equipment located in the Topsides or Turret.
6. Other cases shall be submitted to COMPANY for approval.

Voltage for tripping and protection supply of HV switchgear shall be 110 V DC.
Preference shall be given to the use of duplicated (fully redundant) DC supply for control, signal,
protection and alarm functions. The duplicated DC supply shall be of ample capacity and provided
with a selective DC distribution switchboard, incorporating earth leakage monitors per outgoing
circuit. This arrangement of DC power supply shall be compulsory for assemblies with multiple
bus sections.
Each DC supply unit shall be capable of closing or charging at least two switching devices
simultaneously and all others in succession per assembly while maintaining DC voltage level
within the specified voltage variation range. However, if the supply unit serves circuit breakers for
motor feeders, each supply unit shall be rated for simultaneous closing of at least 30 % of all motor
feeders of the assembly with a minimum of two units. The closing or tripping of switching devices
shall not result in a voltage of less than the permissible voltage specified for the installed protective
relays.
The output voltage ripple of the DC supply shall not cause interference with the other equipment of
the assembly.
When switching devices are remotely controlled, a positive closing and tripping action shall be
possible under all conditions up to 500 m using 2.5 mm2 control cabling.
The power supply from the DC distribution board shall be routed independently to protection relays
and trip coils through the associated relay and control panel. The design of the protective scheme
shall ensure that the risk of damage to the power supply cabling or of power system failure shall be
minimised to ensure plant safety and availability.
The auxiliary power supply wiring inside the relay and control panel/compartments shall be done
by looping in all the equipment supply terminals in parallel, thus forming positive and negative
supply buses with as many connection points as required by the number of circuits. These supply
buses shall end at the terminals of the DC supply supervision relay to ensure 100 % coverage of
auxiliary supply supervision.
Where in use, the two breaker trip coils shall be wired to two supplies drawn from two different
DC buses. The main and back-up protection devices shall also be supplied from two independent
DC buses. Each DC supply bus shall be independently supervised by a supply supervision relay.

The same principle shall be followed for DC supply distribution of switchgear that utilises only one
trip coil. Outgoing power circuits with only one protective device installed shall be supplied from a
DC supply bus derived from two independent sources connected together by blocking diodes.
External wiring systems for protection relays that exit the substation building shall be designed so
that electromagnetic interference does not adversely affect the operation of the protection devices.
This shall be achieved by utilising a secure auxiliary DC supply via interposing relays to provide
digital inputs to these sensitive devices ensuring that the independent DC bus voltage does not exit
the substation. The operating time of the protective scheme shall take account of the additional time
required for the operation of these interposing relays (20 ms).
Current transformers (CTs) and voltage transformers (VTs) shall be specified with characteristics,
e.g., rated output and accuracy class, which are adequate for the associated protection, control
and/or monitoring equipment. Requirements applicable to the selection of CTs and VTs associated
to specific equipment are defined in the relevant requisition based on power system studies results.

Ring core current transformers (also referred to in project documents as cable type current
transformers) shall be supplied with necessary supporting structures and with suitable devices to
ensure alignment of cables versus ring opening.
A measuring CT core shall not be used for protection purpose, unless so specified (e.g. when
Intelligent Electronic Devices are implemented as fully integrated control, protection and
measuring units) or otherwise agreed by COMPANY. Separate secondary windings - one for
protection and one for measuring - shall be systematically provided when both functions are
required for synchronous generators.
Where applicable, characteristics of CTs for protection and measuring supplies to and from third
parties shall be advised by the COMPANY.
Secondary circuits of VTs shall be solidly earthed. Industrial type cartridge fuses or miniature
circuit breakers shall be provided to protect the secondary windings of VT. All protective devices
shall have status/monitoring contacts and shall be capable of handling the inrush currents under all
service conditions, without abnormal ageing or deterioration. The devices shall be installed as close
as practicable to the LV terminals of the voltage transformers, to avoid extensive unprotected
wiring through the panel. The rating of the protection devices shall be selected in such a way that
selective coordination with upstream and downstream protection is guaranteed.
Earthing of the primary winding of VTs shall be earthed irrespective of the system earthing of the
system to which it is connected.
The voltage factor of VTs shall be selected in relation with the system earthing method of the
system to which it is connected. The voltage factor shall be selected to ensure proper operation of
the voltage relays and VTs on the healthy phases during an earth fault. Typical voltage factors are:
* 1.2 continuous for line VTs.
* 1.2 continuous or 1.5 for 30 s voltage factor is used for phase-earthed VTs in effectively
earthed systems.
