Some comments on CT locations according to alternative 1

Fault at F1 will be cleared instantaneously

Fault at F2 will be cleared through LBB For fault in overlapped zone both circuits get disconected In parallel connected CTs there could be dissimilar performance resulting in out of balance current

ABB Group - 3 15-Jan-14

Autoreclosing takes place for faults in parallel connected CTs

Priority Unit

Priority unit allows closing of one breaker first and upon successful reclosing of this breaker the second breaker is allowed to close
This reduces wear and tear of breaker when they are to reclose on persistent faults

Auto reclosure circuits

If DC supply to the group in which reclosing relay is connected fails in the event of asingle phase fault only the protection in the other group operates and gives single phase trip signal to breakers but there will be no autoreclosing
To avoid this DC fail relay of auto reclose DC circuit converts single phase trip impulse of line protection in the other group to three phase trip

Direct trip to remote end breaker is sent under the following conditions

Manual trip or automatic trip of main breaker when the tie breaker is open
Manual trip or automatic trip of tie breaker when main breaker is open

ABB Group - 14 15-Jan-14

Breaker fail relay of main breaker operated

Breaker fail relay of tie breaker operated Three phase unit A or B operated Bus bar protection operated (If tie CB Open)

Line and Reactor Protection Cubicles

Group A and Group B protections are connected to separate DC source and are in separate cubicles
CT and PT connections are from independent cores Over voltage protection is duplicated Direct trip channels are separate for group A and B

Line and Reactor Protection Cubicles

Reactor protections are grouped as under

Group -B Buchholz trip Restricted E/F relay Winding temp trip Oil level high/low trip Fire Protection trip

Group -A Reactor dif relay Back up relay Oil temp trip Pressure relief trip

Transformer Protection Cubicles

These are not duplicated but grouped as under Group -B High imp diff relay Buchholz trip Restricted E/F relay Back-Up relay (LV) Overload relay Wdg temp trip OLTC trip Oil level high/low Neutral e/f relay

Group -A Biased diff relay Back-Up relay (HV) Over fluxing relay Oil temp trip Pressure relief trip Delta wdg protection

Breaker Relay Panels

Trip Unit A trips TC-1 and Trip Unit B Trips TC-2 and these are housed in different cubicles
Auto reclose relay is in Group A

Breaker fail relay is in Group B

If tripping of both TC1 and TC2 is arranged from these trip units , both group A and Group B breaker relays can be housed in one cubicle
