The selection of electrical equipment shall be governed by fitness for purpose, safety, reliability,
maintainability, availability of spares and service, compatibility with specified future technical
options, design margins, suitability for environment, economic considerations and past service
history.
The whole design of the electrical installation shall be based on the provision of a safe and reliable
supply of electricity based on a ‘N+1’ philosophy i.e. on the assumption that simultaneous failure
of two pieces of equipment shall not be catered for achieving the electrical system availability. In
that respect, electrical fault or loss of generator prime movers shall be correctly and safely isolated
with the minimum of disturbance to the healthy system and ensure transient and steady state
stability.
The following Utility Functional Performance shall govern the design of the electrical generating
and distributing system:
* Reliability: The FLNG Facility shall not have an unplanned process curtailment for
electrical utilities reasons more than once per year and the curtailment shall not exceed 5
hours.
* Stability: With one (1) Boiler and/or one (1) power generator unavailable and with the
subsequent loss of a boiler or further boiler and power generator the power generation
system is to be stable and production continue without process shut down at a production
rate agreed with the COMPANY.
* Dynamic Response: the utilities shall be capable of handling a trip of a boiler and/or power
generator under load without consequence to the utilities or the FLNG facility nor suffering
process curtailment.
3.4 Standardisation of Equipment

The requirements relating to standardisation of equipment as stated in Sub-Section (2.4) of
COMPANY specification DEP 33.64.10.10-Gen. – [Electrical Engineering Design] shall be
applied as supplemented hereafter.

* 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.
3.6.2 Selection According to Zone of Risk

The selection of the type of protection for the zone of risk shall be in accordance with Table 1,
unless the relevant statutory regulations require otherwise.

Note: Electrical equipment located in Zone 0 shall require COMPANY Approval.

Some equipment may employ two types of protection. This is acceptable and can be preferred, for
example, with type 'd' equipment incorporating type e terminal arrangements, provided all the types
of protection are suitable for the zone of risk.
The types of protection for Zone 0 may be used in Zones 1, or 2, and similarly the types of
protection for Zone 1 may be used in Zone 2, provided all aspects of the installation and subsequent
maintenance comply with the requirements for that type of protection, which shall be subject to
approval by the COMPANY in each case.
In the application of type of protection 'e' to motors, the motor overload protection device when
carrying the stalled motor current (IA) shall trip the supply in a time less than the (tE) time for the
particular motor.
Due to the complexity of systems required for type of protection 'p', this type of protection should
only be used when there is no economic alternative and shall be subject to approval by
COMPANY.
3.6.3 Selection According to Temperature Classification;

There are six internationally accepted Temperature Classes (T class) allocated to electrical
equipment according to the maximum surface temperature of the equipment. These T class ratings
are given in Table 2.
Table 2
Temperature Classification
T Class Maximum Surface Temperature °C
T1 450
T2 300
T3 200
T4 135
T5 100
T6 85
The T class of equipment shall not exceed the ignition temperature of the gas or vapor in which the
equipment is to be installed. As T classifications are usually assigned on the assumption that the
ambient temperature is 40°C, then where the equipment is to be installed in an ambient temperature
greater than 40°C the T class temperature should be decreased by the amount by which the ambient
temperature exceeds 40°C. This amended T class shall not exceed the ignition temperature of the
gas or vapor in which the equipment is to be installed.

IEC 60079 groupings for electrical equipment for use in flammable atmospheres assign Group II
for use in gases / vapors found in the industries.
Group II equipment employing types of protection 'd' and 'i' are allocated subgroups IIA, IIB and
IIC according to their maximum experimental safe gap (MESG) and minimum ignition current
(MIC) respectively. Where these types of protection are to be used, the equipment subgroup shall
be appropriate to the gas or vapor in which the equipment is to be installed. Where subgroup IIA is
identified as appropriate for a specific gas or vapor, equipment with subgroup IIA, IIB, or IIC may
be used. Where subgroup IIB is identified as appropriate, for a specific gas or vapor, only
equipment with subgroup IIB or IIC shall be used but not equipment with subgroup IIA. Where
subgroup IIC is identified as appropriate for a specific gas or vapor, only equipment with subgroup
IIC shall be used.

5.1 Electrical loads and power supplies
5.1.1 Classification of loads

The definitions for ‘vital’, ‘essential’ and ‘nonessential’ loads stated in Sub-Section (3.2.1) of
COMPANY specification DEP 33.64.10.10-Gen. do not apply to this project. For the FLNG
project, loads shall be classified according to the following descriptions.
5.1.1.1 Normal Loads

Normal loads are defined as the ones which have no effect either on the safety or the safeguard of
the installation or equipment in case of normal power generation failure. Normal loads are only fed
from the main (normal) distribution systems. On loss of normal power supply, power supply to
normal loads is not maintained.
The consumers corresponding normal loads are identified in project document n°: 2000-110-F001-
UT01-U40000-EA-7704-00001 – [Electrical System General Description].
With regard to load classification as defined in COMPANY specification DEP 33.64.10.10-Gen. –
[Electrical Engineering Design], these loads correspond, in general, to the non-essential loads as
well as essential loads dedicated to the main process equipment.
5.1.1.2 Essential Loads

Essential loads are defined as the ones involved in the safeguard of equipment or installation and in
the restarting of the process facilities after main power generation shutdown. On loss of normal
power supply, power supply to essential loads shall be maintained from the essential power
generators. Under normal operating conditions, all essential loads shall be fed from the main power
generators and distribution system.
For the FLNG project, essential loads shall be categorized as follows:
* Base essential loads correspond to the essential power required to maintain normal marine
operations, personnel habitation and minimum operational service requirements of both the
topsides and the hull during main power failures and hotel operation (including extended
maintenance periods).
TSC Document number
60869M GF00U40000 ML 1600 00001

(Parent) (Child)
Code
* Start-up essential loads correspond to the power required from the essential diesel
generators, in addition to the above-mentioned base loads, to start anyone of the steam
turbine generators and its associated utilities following a total shutdown or upon initial start
up of the main power generation.
* Process Shutdown essential loads correspond to the power required from the essential diesel
generators to supply any of the process equipment (e.g. MOV) or associated utilities (e.g.
lubrication oil for compressor) for a safe shutdown of the process facilities.
The consumers corresponding to each category of the above mentioned essential loads are
identified in project document n°: 2000-110-F001-UT01-U40000-EA-7704-00001 – [Electrical
System general Description].
[Electrical Engineering Design], these loads correspond, in general, to the essential loads dedicated
to the utility facilities as well as process equipment auxiliary loads.
5.1.1.3 Emergency Loads

Emergency loads are classified as those required for safeguarding an item of equipment/installation
or the continuation of certain operations, i.e. the loads required to support the FLNG safety related
systems and to maintain minimum life support facilities for the personnel in the event of failure or
shutdown of the main topsides power generation and the essential generation.
Under normal operating conditions, all emergency loads shall be fed from the normal power
generation and distribution system through the essential power distribution system. On loss of
essential power supply, power supply to emergency loads shall be maintained for a minimum
duration from the emergency LV power generator(s) eventually through uninterruptible AC or DC
power supply depending on the nature of the supplied equipment.
For the FLNG project, emergency loads shall be categorized as follows:
* SOLAS emergency loads correspond to the emergency power required to maintain the safety
equipment and systems specified by the SOLAS International Convention – Chapter II.1 –
Part D.
* Non-SOLAS emergency loads correspond to all other emergency loads required to continue
the operation of equipment/items to maintain the safety of the FLNG installation and
personnel and allow re-starting of the essential power generation.
The emergency power supply for SOLAS and non-SOLAS emergency loads should be common.
In line with Sub-Section (6.3.1) of IEC 60092-201.
The consumers corresponding to each category of the above mentioned emergency loads are
identified in project document n°: 2000-110-F001-UT01-U40000-EA-7704-00001 – [Electrical
System General Description].
[Electrical Engineering Design], these loads correspond, in general, to the vital loads as well as
utility equipment auxiliary loads (e.g. essential diesel generator auxiliaries supply).
Provided that suitable measures are taken for safeguarding independent emergency operation under
all circumstances, the emergency generator may be used exceptionally, and for short periods, to
supply non-emergency circuits.

5.1.2 Load assessment and electricity consumption

The criteria and principles applicable for determining the installed electrical loads and the
maximum normal running load shall be the ones stated in sub-section 3.2.2 of COMPANY
specification DEP 33.64.10.10-Gen.
However, the principles described in the above mentioned sub-section shall be amended for the
determination of the peak load. The peak load shall be calculated as the sum of the maximum
normal load and 30% of the intermittent loads
The various load summaries are summarized based on the following assumptions:
For Continuous load X factor = 1 (100%)
For Intermittent load Y factor = 0.3 (30%)
For Stand-by load Z factor = 0 (0%)
(a) Normal power consumption is given as the sum of continuous running loads plus 30% of
the intermittent load for the given operating mode.
Power consumption is P = C*X + I*Y + S*Z
(b) Peak power consumption is given as the sum of normal power consumption (P) plus 30%
of the intermittent loads. Refer:
Peak power consumptions is Pp = C*X + (I*Y)*1.3 + S*Z
(c) 15% allowance of the maximum peak load is considered to cater the load growth during the
design phases
Peak power consumption with allowance is Po = Pp*1.15
The Standard Form DEP 05.00.10.80-Gen shall be amended to include additional information in
order to prepare separate loads schedules according to all main operating conditions, e.g.:
* Normal operation
* Normal operation with LNG off-loading
* Essential services : Long Term Running load scenario
* Essential services : Process Shutdown load scenario
* Essential services : Main Generating Unit start-up load scenario
* Emergency loads,
* Utility island operation,
* etc,
The CONTRACTOR shall coordinate with COMPANY to set the diversity / demands factors of
each electrical system item or equipment to fill-in load schedules.
The load power balance associated to the ‘Utility island operation’ shall correspond to the
operating mode when, after trip or shutdown of the process, the utilities continue to operate

Code
supplied by the main power generation system without the need to start the essential generating
units (i.e. transfer from normal operation to utility island operation shall not cause a black-out of
the FLNG facility).
Load Summary for each of the above listed configuration shall be established through Smart-Plant
Electrical package software. Resulting power balance are given in project document n° 2000-110-

(a separate communication link is provided between the DCS and the ENMCS servers to
enable the parameters of the electrical power distribution network to be monitored by the
CCR operator through the DCS workstation).
The number and location of CCU shall be selected in order to minimise the risk exposure,
linked to operation of switchgear directly in front of the associated assembly. As a minimum,
each switch-room and each Local Equipment Room shall receive a CCU.

a self-sufficient system (this shall include storage of the individual alarm and trip functions
of the associated equipment).

switchboard) shall not be equipped with IED. However, they shall be provided with the
hardwired I/O capability for interfacing with a Centre Control Unit.
The detailed description of signals and information required for monitoring and control of the
electrical system by the ENMCS is described in project document n°: 2000-110-F001-UT01-

5.6.2 Interface with Instrumented Protective System (IPS)

The interfaces with the Instrumented Protective System (IPS) shall be via an interposing relay

latter requirement does not apply to feeders supplying the Fire and Gas distribution cabinets
as Fire and Gas will trip directly circuit breakers.
This interface shall be designed in such a way that it may be permanently disabled (bypassed) when
the emergency shutdown trip functionality is not required.
Each battery shall be provided with a circuit breaker for disconnection from its associated UPS
unit/circuit. Such circuit breaker shall be equipped with the above mentioned interposing relay for
interfacing with the Instrumented Protective System. In addition, a by-pass of the IPS system
interposing relay consisting of a key-lockage device shall be provided to allow overriding the
tripping order from the IPS during the black-start sequence.

The prime objectives of electrical protection system are to:

(Parent) (Child)
Code
* 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.

* 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:

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:

load sharing lines between electrical equipment and other equipment shall be designed in
accordance with the general principles specified in project document [Instrument / Electrical
Interface philosophy] as necessary amended to comply with the following requirements relating to

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.

third party Supplier.
The overall scope of the transient stability and system dynamic study shall include, but is not
limited to, the following;
* Identify motor starting limitations for the electrical system
* Identify transformer energization limitations for the electrical system
* Identify any configurations of the electrical system which lead to instability including faults,
loss of generators, etc.
* Verification and optimization of the load shed scheme, including recommendations on the
quantity and size of load shedding steps
* Verify settings of under / over voltage, under / over frequency relays
* Determine transient voltage and frequency variations during fault, motor starting,…
A sufficient number of system studies for different loading conditions and system configurations
shall be done to ensure acceptable system design and operation is achieved. The CONTRACTOR
shall submit for COMPANY approval a description of case condition and system configuration
prior to perform the transient and dynamic studies.
5.8.5.1 Transient stability studies

The transient stability study shall be conducted to review the impact on system voltage and
frequency and examine the electrical system dynamic performance during and following system
disturbance such as loss of generating unit, short circuit faults, large load shift between generators,

In particular, transient stability studies shall allow determining the maximum fault clearing time of
the protection system. In order to cater for modelling and calculation inaccuracy, the maximum
fault clearing time of the protective scheme (from fault to actual opening of the relevant
switchgear) shall be 20ms lower than the calculated maximum fault clearing time.
The study shall consider all primary protective relaying and back up protective relaying operating
conditions. The transient stability study shall determine if the generators remain stable for faults

5.9.1 Failure Modes and Effects Analysis

The CONTRACTOR shall undertake a Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) to identify
credible failure modes of components of the electrical generation and distribution systems,
including controls and utilities, and their effects on consumer supply.
The FMEA should define the loss of functionality due to single equipment fault, failure or
intentional removal out of service and demonstrate that faults are contained and isolated to limit
their effect.

6.9.2.2 Application of protection relays

Modern numerical protection relays are capable of providing a complete suite of protection features
in order to provide the required level of protection, in which case the following shall apply.
* To protect low-value equipment or equipment for non critical applications or equipment
provided with installed spare capacity (e.g. 4x33% configuration), a single multifunctional

* To protect high-value equipment or equipment for critical applications, e.g. main plant
generation and main distribution transformers and feeders, at least two protective devices
shall be used with main and back up protection features divided between two separate
protective channels. Duplication of tripping coil is not required. Duplication of input current
measuring systems shall only be required whenever main and back-up protective functions
are based on similar method (e.g. over-current backed-up by an over-current protection).
Where the main and back-up protection devices configuration is used, tripping circuits shall be
arranged such that failure of one protective relay does not trip the associated switching device.

the associated equipment.
Where only one protective device is used, failure (including loss of supply) of the protective device
shall trip the associated switching device and, if relevant, the associated equipment.

Code
6.9.3 Tripping schemes
6.9.3.1 Trip coils

For protection purpose, circuit breakers shall only be equipped with one trip coil of the shunt
release type (energization to trip).
Similar ‘energization to trip’ philosophy shall be applied to contactors when provided with latched
mechanism.
Tripping of non-latched contactor shall be based on ‘de-energize to trip’ philosophy (holding coil).
6.9.3.2 Tripping and lockout relays

Circuit breakers or contactors shall be tripped directly or also through a tripping relay. The
operating time of the tripping relay shall be less than 10ms. Tripping relays shall be of the self-reset
type and shall be suitable for continuous energization.
A tripping relay that has extensive external wiring associated with its operating coil circuits shall
be of the high burden type.
The tripping contacts shall have adequate making capacity to handle the maximum current that can
occur in the circuits controlled by these relays. They shall also be capable of breaking such currents
unless other contacts elsewhere in the circuits are used to break the trip current.
Lockout relays shall be used to block the closing of a breaker or contactor, more generally, the
operation of electrical equipment (e.g. motor or generator) under faulty conditions. To prevent
resetting of this relay on failure of auxiliary supply, the latching mechanism of the lockout relay
shall be mechanical. The reset mechanism of the lockout relay shall be electrically operated to
facilitate both local and remote resetting. Lockout relays shall be equipped with a pair of normally
closed contacts arranged to break their own coil circuit when in the latched position.
Lock-out relays shall preferably be independent and segregated from the protective relays in
particular when several protective relays are implemented in a single protective channel or when
two protective channels (main/back-up) are specified. Used of lock-out functionality provided by
the modern numerical protective relay shall be subject to COMPANY written approval.
A flag shall be provided for both tripping and lockout relays. The resetting of the flag shall match
the resetting of the relay. A combined relay performing both trip and lockout functions may be
used provided it meets the requirements of both applications.
6.9.3.3 Inter tripping

Power circuits, typically HV transformer or plain feeder circuits to HV systems that have no
inherent inter-tripping capability, shall be equipped with a send and receive inter-trip relay. This
system shall indicate the activation of the inter trip feature at both ends of the circuit.
6.9.3.4 Trip circuit supervision

Trip supervision circuit shall be provided in the design of all high voltage circuit protection
schemes. Any loss of trip supply or broken wire in the trip circuit shall operate an alarm relay with
contacts wired up for a remote alarm facility (e.g. ENMCS).
Trip circuit supervision will be arranged to monitor the tripping coil in both the open and closed
conditions.

Code
6.9.3.5 Breaker fail protection

Breaker failure protection shall be incorporated in the protection schemes of the main switchboards
to which the main and the essential generating units are connected (either directly or through a
step-up transformer).
6.9.4 Supply voltages for control and protection

The supply arrangement for control and protection shall be one of the following:
* combined DC supply unit(s) for closing, tripping and protection;
* DC supply unit(s) for tripping and protection and AC supply for opening and closing HV
motor’s contactor coil.
Voltages for closing of HV circuit breakers shall be 110 V DC in combined closing, tripping and
protection supply units. Voltages for closing of HV contactors shall be 230 V AC.
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.

Code
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).

where class 10P is specified as adequate by the Supplier. Current transformers shall have an
appropriate VA rating and saturation factor that will ensure the proper working of the protective
devices for all short-circuit currents up to the rated value of the switchgear. Special attention shall
be paid to the time constant and DC (aperiodic) component of short-circuit currents as well as the
actual load of the protection circuit to ensure that CTs do not saturate before the associated
protective device initiates a tripping order.
Where required by some types of high impedance protective relay (e.g. differential protection), the
CTs shall be specified in terms of knee point voltage, excitation current and secondary winding
resistance (class PX) so as to ensure stability (non-saturation) under through fault conditions.

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.

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:

Miniature circuit breakers (MCBs) shall have a normally closed auxiliary contact to activate an
alarm when the MCB is open and/or tripped. MCBs for distance and other similar protection shall
be of the single-phase type so that a fault on one phase shall not result in the loss of the healthy
