ELECTRICAL PROTECTION 4B (EPR420S) – ASSIGNMENT 2
TOTAL MARKS: 40
DUE DATE: 30 OCTOBER 2022

EXAMINER: Penti Paulus

MODERATOR: Mrs Kehinde Awodele

Instructions to candidate:
1. Read and understand the questions for this assignment before attempting to answer.
2. Answer all questions in this question paper.
3. Any questions you have may be directed to me on the discussion forum on MS Teams
or WhatsApp group.
4. Any form of academic dishonesty: Copying directly from reference books, internet
sources, another student’s work, etc., will attract ZERO marks.
 Question 1 [15]
The bus-bar protection scheme of Figure Q1 uses high-impedance voltage relays for the detection
of fault currents. For faults at ‘A’ and ‘B’,

Fig Q1
(i) Draw the equivalent current transformer circuits and calculate the relay voltage in each
case (Assume CT to be completely saturated). (9)
(ii) Comment on your results in terms of the settings and the safety of the protection
equipment (assume NO CT saturation). (6)

Question 2 [30]

In the system of Figure Q2, given the power rating and voltage ratio of the power transformer and
the CT ratios:

Figure Q2

(i) Determine the transformation ratios and the connections of the compensation
transformers required in order to set the differential relays, which are not provided with
taps. (20)
(ii) Produce the complete three-phase connection schematic and identify the currents in
each of the elements. (10)
