1 INTRODUCTION

The Ohmega family of Digital DistanceRelays give full scheme protection with

independent measurements for everyzone and fault loop. Impedance startingelements are not required. Optionalfeatures provide a full range of protectionfunctions supplements by control,metering, data storage and fibre optic datacommunication capabilities.

The relays can be applied to eitheroverhead line or cable feeders and,depending on the availability and type ofteleprotection channels available, can beconfigured to provide unit protection in a

number of different models.

2 CURRENT TRANSFORMERREQUIREMENTS

The current transformers used withOhmega relays should be class TPS toIEC 46-6 (ie BS3938 class x). The CTsshould have a knee point voltage Vk asfollows:-

Vk = K.Ip (I + Xp) (0.03 + Rct + RI)N Rp

Vk = K.Ie (I + Xe) (0.06 + Rct + RI)N Re

Where:

Ip = phase fault current calculated for Xp/Rpratio at the end of zone 1.

Ie = earth fault current calculated for Xeratio at the end of zone 1 Re

N = C.T. ratio

Xp/Rp = power system resistance toreactance ratio for the total plant includingthe feeder line parameters calculated for aphase fault at the end of zone 1.

Xe/Re = similar ratio to above butcalculated for an earth fault at the end ofzone 1.

Rct = C.T. internal resistance

RI = lead burden, C.T. to Ohmega

A zone 1 extension scheme allows twosettings to be made for the zone 1 reach.The first is the standard 80% setting. Thesecond is a higher setting which can beapplied under certain circumstances.

When zone 1 extension is enabled, thehigher setting is used for instantaneoustripping, and during the autoreclosesequence the zone 1 reach is reduced tothe lower setting (80%). For a transientfault, the tripped circuit breakers willreclose successfully after clearing thefault. For a permanent fault, when thecircuit breaker is reclosed the zone 1reach will be reduced to its normal (non-extended) value and relay operation willbe the same as for the time steppeddistance scheme. Given that most faults

are transient in nature, this will giveimproved fault clearance over 100% of theline. The disadvantage is that theextended zone 1 reach will allowinstantaneous tripping for faults inadjacent zones in adjacent feeders beforethe auto-reclose sequence is started.This will obviously involve a greaternumber of circuit breaker operations andthus more circuit breaker maintenance.

It is particularly important to ensure thatthe impedance of the protected feeder is

accurately known and the mutual effectsdue to adjacent feeders are considered forall known operating conditions. On a teed-feeder the zone 1 impedance settingshould be approximately 80% of thepositive sequence impedance from therelaying point to the nearer of the remoteends.

On lines with tee-off transformersconnected to them, the Zone 1 setting canextend beyond the tee-off point, provided itdoes not reach beyond the windings of

any transformer. If a transformer isearthed on the line side, it can supply zerosequence current which is equivalent to aninfeed (see Fig. 1), and should beconsidered when choosing the Zone 1setting.

On feeder transformers, Zone 1 should beset to cover at least 1.2 times the positivesequence impedance of the feeder. Itshould not, however, exceed 0.8 times thesum of the feeder impedance and thetransformer impedance.

Having decided upon the impedancesetting required, the relay setting isdetermined as follows:-

where:

Equation 1

Ll = required Zone 1 reach in primarypositive sequence ohms.C = protection current transformer ratioV = protection voltage transformer ratioThe available setting ranges are:-

I amp relay = 0.5 250 ohms2 amp relay = 0.2 125 ohms5amp relay = 0.1 50 ohms

Equation 1 gives the relay setting at therelay characteristic angle.

Example (A)For Ll = 34 ohms; C = 750/1 and V =22OkV/110V

Zone 1 setting =

34 x 750 x 110 =12.75 ohms1 220,000

The zone 1 setting is 12.75 ohms

3.2 Residual Compensation Setting

Equation 1 gives the relay setting for bothphase and earth fault measurement. Toallow for variations in the earth return path,earth fault measurement is compensatedusing the residual compensation

technique. The setting of the ResidualCompensation for correct earth faultmeasurement is determined as follows:-

Where:-

Zo = Zero sequence impedance of feeder.Zl = Positive sequence impedance offeeder.

The relay automatically calculates thecorrect value of residual compensationwhen the user enters the ratio of

The available setting rangesis:- 0 10 in 0.01 steps.

The Z0 angle must also be entered on the

relay.

Example (B)

Let Zo = 1.4 ohms/km and Zl = 0.55ohms/kmTherefore

The neutral compensation factor can beset to 2.5. This factor is common for all

zone impedance settings. The fault angleFigure 1 must be calculated from the Zoparameter. The residual impedancesetting and the zone impedance setting iscombined to give a composite setting.

3.3 Zone 2 Setting

Zone 2 setting should be at least 1.2 timesthe positive sequence impedance of theprotected feeder. For teed feeders thesetting should be at least 1.2 times theimpedance to the most remote end, the

effect of infeeds at the tee points beingallowed for as shown in choose the settingfor maximum infeeds, but take care it doesnot encroach onto the second zone ofdistance protection of adjacent feeders forminimum fault infeed conditions.

On lines with tee-off transformersconnected to them, the tee-offtransformers can supply zero sequencecurrent if they are earthed on the line side.This is equivalent to an infeed as indicatedin and must be taken into account when

choosing the Zone 2 setting. Normally theZone 2 reach will be set so that it does not

extend beyond a power transformer, butshould a particular application require anextended reach of this nature, then careshould be taken to grade the protectionaccordingly.

The Zone 2 setting is obtained byadjusting the impedance setting.

3.4 Zone 3 Settings

The Zone 3 setting will depend upon thesystem adjacent to the protected feeder

and the amount of back-up protectionrequired. To give back-up protection onthe protected feeder, the Z3 should be atleast equal to and not less than the Z2setting.

The Zone 2 and Zone 3 timers arenormally set to give a grading marginbetween the zones.

On lines with tee-off transformers, thetransformers can supply zero sequencecurrent if they are earthed on the line side.

This is equivalent to an infeed as indicatedin and should be considered whenchoosing the Zone 3 setting. Care shouldbe taken to grade the Zone 3 setting withthe rest of the system.

As with Zone 2, the Zone 3 reach willnormally be set so that it does not extendbeyond a power transformer, however if aparticular application requires anextension of reach beyond a transformerthen the protection should be gradedaccordingly.

The Zone3 setting is obtained byadjustment of the impedance range.The characteristic of the zone 3 allows fora reverse reach setting which is adjustableand this is programmed as a secondaryimpedance.

Status Inputs

As stated in the PerformanceSpecification (section 5 of this manual),

status inputs used for protection signallingare high speed devices with operatingtimes of under 5ms. As supplied, allstatus inputs are of this type. Should theuser require any status input to meet therequirements of ESI 48-4-1 ie to have highstability in the presence of spurioussignals, the relevant status input moduleshould be withdrawn from the relay caseand the desired inputs changed inaccordance with figure 3.
