1.11. Substation Bus Arrangements
1 The substation configuration must be selected in consultation with the Owner. The
functional protection requirements should be confirmed concurrent with the
configuration selection (Refer to Part II - Protection, of this document).
2 Primary selective substations are mandatory for the primary supply of each major
operating division within the Suncor plant.).
3 Captive transformer configurations should be used where large motors are supplied.
Captive transformers are required for all nominal 13.SKV motors. Other large motor
requirement for captive transformers shall be demonstrated by system studies. The
motor control circuit breaker can be located on the primary or secondary side ofthe
captive transformer.
4 Voltage drops permitting, consideration should be given to supplying all auxiliaries

for the motor and its load from a utility transformer supplied from the same upstream
source as the motor. These auxiliaries include:
a) Synchronous excitation power supplies
b) Cooling and lubrication system power supplies
c) Power supplies for other systems associated with the motor or its load
d) If auxiliaries can not be supplied from the secondary of the captive
transformer the auxiliaries shall be fed from a secondary selective
STD-0520 Part I Power System Design March 2006 11 of 43
substation.
5 Process loads shall be fed from the main process area substation.
6 Secondary Selective configurations shall be used in all area Substations.
7 Secondary selective substations shall include automatic bus transfer schemes.
8 Automatic Transfer Systems will allow closed transition manual transfer and open
transition automatic transfer in the event of a power outage to one bus.
9 Radial configurations can be used where directed by the Owner. Four standard
variations provide design flexibility:
a) Fused primary, with no secondary switch devices are intended for temporary
loads, such as seasonal pumps, construction power, and the like, where keeping
costs to a minimum is the paramount consideration. This substation configuration
would not likely be used on transformers larger than 500 kV A.
b) Fused primary, breaker secondary configurations are intended for motor loads
where it is convenient to tap off an overhead line, rather than having to run
feeders back to a supply point where breakers are available. The secondary
breaker is required to protect the motors against single phasing.
c) Breaker primary, no secondary configuration would be used as an alternative
to, the fused primary, breaker secondary configuration, where a breaker protected
supply point is convenient, or where the size ofthe transformer warranted sudden
pressure and primary ground fault protection or single phasing is unacceptable!.
Emergency de-energization of the main bus must be accomplished by one of the
following:
• Primary breaker in same room
• Load break transformer primary disconnect switch
• Manual initiation of transfer trip (86) to the primary breaker
d) Breaker primary, breaker secondary configurations are intended for those
loads where there is a strong possibility of requiring a secondary selective
substation in the near future, but current budgets dictate the work be staged.
lOA radial fed sub bus must have an incoming breaker for emergency de-energization
unless one of the following conditions exists:
• Source breaker is in the same room
• Load-break incoming switch
------------
L -_______________________
• Manual initiation of transfer trip (86) to the source breaker
1.12. System Grounding
1 Refer to IEEE 80 - Guide for Safety in AC Substation Grounding, for ground grid
design considerations.
2 Refer to IEEE 142 "Green Book" - Recommended Practice for Grounding of

Industrial and Commercial Power Systems, for grounding resistor sizing
considerations.
3 For high resistance grounded systems where tripping is required the charging currents
shall be calculated to ensure that ground fault overcurrent relays can be applied. The
maximum ground fault current shall be at least 500% ofthe maximum feeder
charging current.
4 Refer to OSG Standard 0524 Neutral Grounding Resistors
5 See Process Area Grounding in Suncor Standard 501.

system voltage. An additional 5% drop is permissible, if necessary, for intermittent
process loads such as sump pumps
2 Motor circuit allowable voltage drops during starting and re-acceleration shall be as
specified in the following table (% of nominal):
Condition Main Area Area
Distribution Substation Substation
Substation Primary Secondary
Primary Voltage Voltage(4160-
Voltage 480V)
Starting 3% 5% 15%
Reacceleration 3% 5% (for group) 15% (for group)
1.14. Motor Starting
Full voltage non-reversing (FVNR) motor starters shall normally be used.

2 Motors shall be supplied from a bus dedicated to the process unit in which the motor
is installed.
3 Where motors are designated to have full redundancy (spare) or partial redundancy it
is preferred to supply them from secondary selective alternate buses wherever
practicable.
4 Single phase process motors shall be supplied from process/instrumentation panels,

not from building services panels.
5 Where a group of motors requires re-acceleration and more than a single re-
acceleration step is required due to voltage drop restrictions, the re-acceleration
schedule will be established by process priorities.
1.15. SUbstation Automation

other computer based systems for the programming of maintenance applications such
as the Substation Annunciator, Circuit Breaker Control/Auto-Transfer Systems, and
Lighting System Timers.
4 The Substation Automation system will include a local Graphic User Interface
System(GUI) or Human Machine Interface System(HMI).
5 The Substation Automation Network will be integrated with the Suncor Business
LAN. The HMI system will have a Client-Server Architecture to allow the HMI
application to be available to selected users on the Suncor LAN in addition to the
HMI computers located in the Substation.

5 Where possible, arrange to have Civil pile designs incorporate welded connections to
bond all the pile steel and rebar so that the pile acts as a 'concrete encased' ground
rod.
6 The substation ground grid shall completely surround the substation building, power
transformers and fences which shall all be connected directly to the grounding grid.
7 Exposed non-current carrying metal parts of all electrical equipment, metal buildings

demand. Minimum of 600A.
4 Switchgear interrupting ratings shall be not less than 125% of the contact parting
duties (interrupting) identified in the fault study, based on calculated X/R ratios and
ANSI C37.
5 Arc-Resistant Indoor Switchgear is to be vented outside of buildings.
6 Switchgear momentary ratings shall be not less than 125% of the first cycle duties
(momentary) identified in the fault study, based on calculated X/R ratios and ANSI
C37.
7 For automatic secondary selective substations the contact parting duties (interrupting)
and first cycle duties (momentary) shall be based on the tie breaker closed and one
incoming breaker open.
8 For substations where the secondary bus may be energized with both incomers and
the bus tie closed in normal operation (not momentary) the switchgear must be rated
for this operating condition. This also applies to LV Switchgear supplied from Utility
Power in parallel with emergency generators where a feeder breaker or bus will see a
fault current from two sources.
9 Primary breakers for individual transformers shall have a continuous rating not less
than the maximum forced cooled rating of the transformer.
10 Primary breakers for two or more transformers shall have a continuous rating not less
than the maximum forced cooled ratings of all the transformers in the group
11 Main incoming secondary breakers shall have a continuous rating not less than the
maximum forced cooled rating of the transformer.
12 Bus tie breakers in secondary selective substations shall have a continuous rating not
less than the maximum forced cooled rating ofthe transformer. The intent is that the
tie breaker can act as an emergency spare to the main incoming secondary breakers.
13 Feeder breakers or incoming circuit breakers supplying busses shall have a

continuous rating not less than the continuous rating of the bus or cable.
14 Circuit breakers are required for 13.8KV motor control.

1.23. Motor Feeders
Motors feeders shall be sized to meet voltage drop criteria outlined in this standard.
1.24. Cables
1 Refer to Suncor STD-504 Cables

cable shall be installed in tray at one diameter spacing and rated as per the CEC.
suncor Energy Power System Engineering Rev. 4 Page
sTO-0520 Part I Power System Design March 2006 19 of 43
4 For motor branch cables installed in tray, consideration shall be given to applying for
a variance to the CEC for derating of more than three power conductors in a raceway.
The basis of the submission is as follows:
a) The NEC and CEC require that motor and transformer cable sizes be oversized by
125%
b) Lighting and EHT power cables are also normally sized for 125% of full load
current due to circuit breaker derating factors.
c) The calculated demand load is normally only 50% of the connected load as
process design usually calls for motors and other critical loads to have 100%
spare back up. As a result only 50% of all motor and other critical load power
cables will be carrying current at anyone time.
d) Control cables will usually be randomly run in the same cable trays as the
associated power cables thereby further reducing heat build up.
e) The cables will be run in open ventilated cable trays.
±) Governing cable sizing criteria shall be documented.
5 15kV Insulated cables and above shall not be run through plant areas experiencing
the following conditions:
a) high temperature and humidity
b) where subjected to contaminants and corrosive atmospheres
c) where subjected to falling objects
d) areas with difficult access for both construction and maintenance
6 The termination of shields on HV cables will follow IEEE 525 "Guide for Design and
Installation of Cable Systems in Substations"
1.25. Engineering Studies
Identify all process loads and categorize as follows:

a) critical loads
b) dual supplied loads ( i.e. secondary selective loads)
c) radial and captive loads
2 Categorize loads by process area to identify energy monitoring points. The electrical
system architecture should match and be compatible with the process system
architecture.
3 As warranted prepare lists of:

a) automatically re-accelerated loads
b) load shedding and peak shaving load groupings
4 Identify any fast transfer requirements.
5 Categorize automatic transfer timings between upstream and downstream substations.
6 Create area classification drawings, refer to Suncor Standard 0503 Area

Classification.
7 Determine substation locations.
8 Allocate utility corridors throughout the plant.
9 Determine the critical services generator locations and distribution.
10 Prepare preliminary single line diagram and a report outlining the electrical system
design criteria. Submit for owner review and project implementation
11 An Arc-Flash Hazard Calculation is required per IEEE 1584.
12 A computerized fault study is required, fault calculations shall conform to the

methodology of the IEEE Std. 141 "Red Book".
13 The designer will clearly state all assumptions used in the calculations.
14 Fault calculation shall be done using SKM software.
15 Fault calculations are required for two distinct purposes:

a) Equipment Procurement - Based on maximum available contribution from
utility and plant sources. Rotating equipment to be represented by
subtransient impedances and appropriate multipliers. For equipment
procurement the following fault levels will be required:
• First Cycle Duties (momentary) for bus bracing and cutouts. Asymmetrical
fault levels shall be calculated.
• First Cycle Duties (momentary) for fuses and low voltage circuit breakers.
