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
Autoreclosing takes place for faults in parallel
connected CTs

Ratio of CT can be
selected to match

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

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

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
