However, in such case where Zone-3 reach is set to enter into next lower voltage level,
Zone-3 timing shall be coordinated with the back-up protection (Directional over current
and earth fault relay) of power transformer. Where such coordination cannot be realized, it
is recommended to carry out simulation studies for relay reach & time coordination and
suitable solution may be devised. Some of the typical solution can be like application of
back up distance protection for power transformer, duplicated protection for downstream
220kV feeders or special protection scheme logic. Similar issues, if encountered for Zone-2
reach setting, should also be addressed in the above manner.
It is recommended that all the distance relays should have quadrilateral / polygon
characteristic. For relays having Mho characteristic, it is desirable to have load
encroachment prevention characteristic or a blinder.
In the absence of credible data regarding minimum voltage and maximum load expected
for a line during emergency system condition, following criteria may be considered for
deciding load point encroachment:
Maximum load current (Imax) may be considered as 1.5 times the thermal rating of
the line or 1.5 times the associated bay equipment current rating (the minimum of
the bay equipment individual rating) whichever is lower. (Caution: The rating
considered is approximately 15minutes rating of the transmission facility).
Minimum voltage (Vmin) to be considered as 0.85pu (85%).
Due to in-feeds, the apparent fault resistance seen by relay is several times the actual
value. This should be kept in mind while arriving at resistive reach setting for Zone-2 and
Zone-3.
