33KV BUSBAR DIFFERENTIAL PROTECTION PANEL & SCHEME :

The Busbar Protection scheme shall be high impedance type, discriminated zone
(separate zone of protection for each section of bus) with check zone busbar differential
protection with all necessary auxiliaries, In/Out selector switch, control switches,
indications, window annunciators, trip relays, CT supervision/shorting relays, stabilizing
resistor, metrosil etc. required to make the scheme in completely professional and
ergonomic design. Separate trip relays to trip for each feeders shall be used and the
maximum operating time of this trip relays shall not exceed 10msec. Separate external Ct
supervision/shorting relays shall be used for each zones of Busbar differential protection

The complete busbar protection scheme as said above shall be fixed in a separate
busbar protection panel. The protection shall be capable of detecting 3 phase, phase-phase
and phase-earth busbar faults and have two independent sets of protective equipment for
each Main zone, one common protection as a check zone. The concerned main zone and the
common Check zone relays must operate to initiate tripping in the event of a busbar fault in
any zone. The check set of equipment shall be common to all discriminating zones to form
one overall zone.

In addition, automatic and continuous supervision of the current transformer circuit


shall be provided (either integral to numeric high impedance relays or externally if integral
CT supervision is not available) to give warning of the out of balance current having reached
an undesirable value. This CT supervision relay on operation shall short circuit all the 3
phases of CTs Bus with an alarm.
The CT bus wire supervision shall be provided for all discriminating zones and check zone.

The supply include the provision of all necessary current transformers, auxiliary
switches, relays, panels and multicore cable etc. It shall be noted that the secondary of all
the bus bar protection CTs shall be brought to the Bus bar protection panel and the CT bus
wiring shall be done in the protection panel only. Each zone of protection shall be capable of
being switched out of service separately whilst leaving the other zone or zones in service.
For each feeders or incomer breakers one no. hand and electrical reset trip relay shall be
provided. For bus section two such relays shall be provided (one relay for each zone on
either side of the bus-coupler breaker).

Trip isolation links for each circuit shall be provided on the control and relay panels.
Two contacts of each relay (main and check) shall be used in parallel for reliable operation
of the tripping scheme.

Suitable CT test and change-over links shall be provided at or in the marshalling


kiosks adjacent to each circuit breaker. These links shall enable the current transformers to
be shorted and/or isolated from the protection in order that testing and maintenance can
be carried out. Links are to have a switch protective cover and warning

If the Bus bar protection CTs are located in between Earth Switch and the 33KV cable
termination point, then the CT circuits of Main and check zones (for each phase) from each
panel shall be routed through the ES auxiliary contacts for the ES closing and for opening
Tender requirements in Protection aspect
for 33/11 KV, 10/20MVA Primary SS
conditions. When ES is closed, the CT wires of individual panel shall short to ground and
disconnect from the protection/CT bus and when the ES is in open condition, The CT wires
of individual panel shall connect to protection/ CT bus and open the shorting/ground. The
ES auxiliary contacts shall be suitably designed for the reliable functionality.

Alternatively, the scheme can also be performed with a Reliable DC operated Bi-
stable high impedance relay arrangement such that, the CT wires of individual panel shall
short to ground and disconnect from the protection/CT bus (Bi stable relay –Set condition)
when the CB is moved from service to Test position in case of AIS (where ES can be closed
only when the CB is in Test position) and when the TPS switch is in OFF/Earth position in
case of GIS. The CT wires of individual panel shall connect to protection/ CT bus and open
the shorting/ground (Bi stable relay –Reset condition) when the CB is moved from Test to
service position in case of AIS (where CB can be moved from Test to service only when the
ES is in Open position) and when the TPS switch is in ON position in case of GIS. The ES
closing electrical interlock shall be passed through Bi stable relay –Set condition and the CB
closing interlock shall be passed through Bi stable relay –Reset condition of both main and
check zones. This arrangement shall preferably done in each SWGR panel.

Generally, two silver plated contacts in parallel are to be used for all normally open
auxiliary switches in CT circuits to the protection relay, and one silver plated contact to be
used for all normally closed auxiliary switches in CT circuits for shorting and ground. This is
for each phase and for each zone.

The contractor may also propose any other reliable arrangement to prevent mal-
operation of BB protection while earthing the cable, during external EF under both end of a
cable in earthed condition etc. and also the reliability for the CT circuits shall be taken care.

INTERLOCKED PHASE & EARTH FAULT BUSBAR PROTECTION SCHEMES FOR 11KV SWGR

The aim of this document is to get the 11KV bus bar protection (with 100msec) with the
application of OC & EF relays only (not employing high/low impedance busbar protection) to quickly
clear the bus fault rather than waiting for the coordinated IDMT protection to time out to operate.
The below figure as an example shows two incomers and a bus section substation, with two
outgoing feeders on each section. The only additional requirement is that the bus section demands
directional OC & EF relay.
The below Figure as an example shows how this facility can be enabled in the outgoing
feeder relays, and communicated to the incomer and bus section relay as a ‘block’ signal. This block
does not block the critical time-overcurrent function in the incomer relay, but merely blocks a
definite-time high-set that has been specially configured to offer busbar protection.
The high-set, measuring phase overcurrent and earth fault are delayed by a margin marked
as ‘time to block’. This deliberate delay on operation is necessary to allow enough time for an
external fault to be detected by an outgoing feeder / bus section relay, and for it to be
communicated as a ‘block’ command, and acted upon by the incomer / bus section relay. Only if the
incoming feeder relay measures fault current above the high-set setting, and no block arrives, it
determines that the fault must lie on the protected busbar, and a bus zone trip command is issued.

Referring to the above block logic diagram, Incomer receives block input from start output of
all feeders’ (which are connected to the same bus section of the Incomer) and also from bus section
relays. If the fault is external to the feeder or in the next section bus, then any one input is active
and the highset protection is blocked. If the Incomer does not receive input, then it will trip on
Highset with 100msec delay.
Similarly, bus section also will receive separate block input from start output of all feeders’
which are connected to each bus section separately. If the fault is external to the feeder, then any
one input is active and the highset protection is blocked. If the bus section does not receive input,
then it will trip on Highset with 100msec delay.

be of the medium discharge type. The battery shall comply with IEC 623:1978 and shall be
designed for a life of twenty five (25) years under site conditions.

Cartridge fuses shall be provided in both positive and negative leads and positioned
as close to the battery as possible and shall be rated for at least three times the maximum
battery discharge current at the highest operating voltage.

The two fuses shall be mounted on opposite ends of the battery stands or rack.
These fuse links shall comply with BS 88 clause DC 40 and shall be bolted in position without
carriers. Fuses shall be contained in poly carbonate fume proof boxes.

Warning labels shall be fitted to warn personnel of the danger of removing or


replace a fuse whilst the load is connected and that fuses should not be removed
immediately following boost charge due to the possible ignition of hydrogen gas. It shall not
be possible to leave the battery disconnected without some local/remote indication that
such a state exists.
