Concepts and applications of AC transmission line protection are presented in this guide. Many important issues, such as coordination of settings, operating times, characteristics of relays, mutual coupling of lines, and use of communication channels, are examined. The impact of different electrical parameters and system performance considerations on the selection of relays and protection schemes is discussed.
Concepts of transmission line protection are discussed in this guide. Applications of these concepts to various system configurations and line termination arrangements are presented. Many important issues, such as coordination of settings, operating times, characteristics of relays, impact of mutual coupling of lines on the protection systems, automatic reclosing, and use of communication channels, are examined. Special protection systems, multi-terminal lines, and single-phase tripping and… read more reclosing are also included. The impact that system parameters and system performance have on the selection of relays and relay schemes is discussed as well. read less
