• About 1500 False trips
in 16 months (NERC)
• 16 Times more False
Trips than Failure to
Trip
• 41% of False trips are
during an external fault
Unpleasant Facts

Cost of Relays has come down an inflation adjusted 90% since 1980
Pleasant Fact

Why Do We Apply Redundant Protection ?
It Costs More
Extra Engineering
Extra Maintenance
Extra Wiring
![Page 7: Enhanced Power System Protection](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022013108/5695d2801a28ab9b029ab015/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Hole Filling
![Page 8: Enhanced Power System Protection](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022013108/5695d2801a28ab9b029ab015/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
So what Constitutes a Hole ?
Arc Resistance Coverage
Communication Failure Coverage
Power Swing Response
Fuse Failure (loss of potential) Response
It’s only a holeIf you hit it.

Relay Failure Backup

OR
A+B A+C B+C
Two of Three Logic Improves Dependability and Security
Let’s Define (A,C,B):1% chance of False Trip95% chance of Correct Trip
A+B = 1%2 = .01% Chance of False Trip(A+B)*(A+C)*(B+C)= 0.03% Chance of False Trip
A+B = 95%2 = 90.25% Chance of Correct Trip(A+B)*(A+C)*(B+C)= 99.9% Chance of Correct Trip
OR
AND AND AND

What Does It Mean to be Different ?
Voting Must be Different to Count

Human Error and Training Considerations
• Settings and Calculations
• Different Schemes
• Operations
• Maintenance
• Relay Out-of-Service

Testing Changes
• Test of Relay Modifies
Scheme Logic
• Voting Logic is Part of
System Test

Questions to Ask
How Many False Trips per Year are Acceptable?
What is the System Cost of a False Trip Coupled with a Correct Trip? Is This Condition Modeled

Conclusions
• Two of Three Voting can Reduce False Trips Significantly
• Costs of Voting Schemes are 15% of Dual Schemes 35 Years Ago
