Objective
• We are here to help make your job easier. This is very informal and designed around ISO Applications. Please ask question. We are not here to “preach” to you.
• The knowledge base on GE Multilin Relays varies greatly at ISO. If you have a question, there is a good chance there are 3 or 4 other people that have the same question. Please ask it.

Selection of protective relays requires compromises:
• Maximum and Reliable protection at minimum equipment cost
• High Sensitivity to faults and insensitivity to maximum load currents
• High-speed fault clearance with correct selectivity
• Selectivity in isolating small faulty area
• Ability to operate correctly under all predictable power system conditions

• Cost of protective relays should be balanced against risks involved if protection is not sufficient and not enough redundancy.
• Primary objectives is to have faulted zone’s primary protection operate first, but if there are protective relays failures, some form of backup protection is provided.
• Backup protection is local (if local primary protection fails to clear fault) and remote (if remote protection fails to operate to clear fault)

Primary Equipment & ComponentsPrimary Equipment & Components• Transformers - to step up or step down voltage level
• Breakers - to energize equipment and interrupt fault current
to isolate faulted equipment
• Insulators - to insulate equipment from ground and other
phases
• Isolators (switches) - to create a visible and permanent
isolation of primary equipment for maintenance purposes
and route power flow over certain buses.
• Bus - to allow multiple connections (feeders) to the same
source of power (transformer).

• Operate region lies above selected curve, while no-operate region lies below it

2. In some cases a fault might involve a CT or a circuit breaker itself, which means it can not be cleared until adjacent breakers (local or remote) are opened.

• IEEE relay class is defined in terms of the voltage a CT can deliver at 20 times the nominal current rating without exceeding a 10% composite ratio error.
For example, a relay class of C100 on a 1200:5 CT means that the CT can develop 100 volts at 24,000 primary amps (1200*20) without exceeding a 10% ratio error. Maximum burden = 1 ohm.
100 V = 20 * 5 * (1ohm)
200 V = 20 * 5 * (2 ohms)
400 V = 20 * 5 * (4 ohms)
800 V = 20 * 5 * (8 ohms)

1. Ungrounded: There is no intentional ground applied to the system-however it’s grounded through natural capacitance. Found in 2.4-15kV systems.
2. Reactance Grounded: Total system capacitance is cancelled by equal inductance. This decreases the current at the fault and limits voltage across the arc at the fault to decrease damage.

Arc Flash Mitigation:Problem Description
– An electric arc flash can occur if a conductive object gets too close to a high-amp current source or by equipment failure (ex., while opening or closing disconnects, racking out)• The arc can heat the air to temperatures as high as 35,000 F, and
vaporize metal in equipment • The arc flash can cause severe skin burns by direct heat exposure
and by igniting clothing• The heating of the air and vaporization of metal creates a pressure
wave (arc blast) that can damage hearing and cause memory loss (from concussion) and other injuries.
• Flying metal parts are also a hazard.

Methods to Reduce Arc Flash Hazard
– Arc flash energy may be expressed in I2t terms, so you can decrease the I or decrease the t to lessen the energy
– Protective relays can help lessen the t by optimizing sensitivity and decreasing clearing time• Protective Relay Techniques
– Other means can lessen the I by limiting fault current• “Non-Protective Relay Techniques”

Non-Protective Relaying Methods of Reducing Arc Flash Hazard
– System design modifications increase power transformer impedance• Addition of phase reactors• Faster operating breakers• Splitting of buses
– Current limiting fuses (provides partial protection only for a limited current range)
– Electronic current limiters (these devices sense overcurrent and interrupt very high currents with replaceable conductor links (explosive charge)
– Arc-resistant switchgear (this really doesn't reduce arc flash energy; it deflects the energy away from personnel)
– Optical arc flash protection via fiber sensors
– Optical arc flash protection via lens sensors

Protective Relaying Methods of Reducing Arc Flash Hazard
– Bus differential protection (this reduces the arc flash energy by reducing the clearing time
– Zone interlock schemes where bus relay selectively is allowed to trip or block depending on location of faults as identified from feeder relays
– Temporary setting changes to reduce clearing time during maintenance • Sacrifices coordination
– FlexCurve for improved coordination opportunities
– Employ 51VC/VR on feeders fed from small generation to improve sensitivity and coordination
– Employ UV light detectors with current disturbance detectors for selective gear tripping
