Transmission Line Protection

Distance Relays: -
Tata Power Delhi Distribution Limited

Introduction:
The impedance relays also called distance relays are
employed to provide protection to transmission lines
connected in a network as they are economic and possess
several technical advantages.

They are comparatively simple to apply, operate with

extremely high speed, and both primary and backup
protection features are inherent in them.
They can be easily modified to work as unit schemes by
coordinating them with power line carrier facilities and are
suitable for high speed reclosing

The impedance relay is made to respond to the

impedance between the relay location and the point
where fault is incident.

The impedance is proportional to the distance to the

fault, (hence the name 'distance relay') and is therefore
independent of the fault current levels.

Distance Relaying Principle:

A distance relay compares the currents and voltages at

Tata Power Delhi Distribution Limited

the relaying point with Current providing the operating

torque and the voltage provides the restraining torque.
In other words an impedance relay is a voltage
restrained overcurrent relay.

The equation at the balance point in a simple

impedance relay is K1V2 = K2I2 or V/I = K3 where K1,
K2 and K3 are constants. In other words, the relay is on
the verge of operation at a constant value of V/I ratio,
which may be expressed as an impedance.

Since the operating characteristics of the relay depend upon the

ratio of voltage and current and the phase angle between them,
Tata Power Delhi Distribution Limited

their characteristics can be best represented on an R-X

diagram where both V/I ratio and the phase angle can be
plotted in terms of an impedance R+jX.

The power system impedance like fault impedance, power

swings, loads etc. can also be plotted on the same R-X diagram.
Therefore response of a particular relay during power swing,
faults and other system disturbances can easily be assessed.

shown in fig.

Operation of the impedance relay is independent of the phase

angle between V and I.

The operating characteristic is a circle with its center at the

origin, and hence the relay is non-directional.

The directional unit of the relay causes

separation of the regions of the relay
characteristic shown in the figure by a line
drawn perpendicular to the line impedance
locus.

The net result is that tripping will occur

only for points that are both within the
circles and above the directional unit
characteristic.

The Reactance-type Distance Relay:

Tata Power Delhi Distribution Limited

Reactance relay measures V/I Sin0 (i.e. Z sin 0 - ). Whenever the
reactance measured by the relay is less than the set value, the relay
operates. The operating characteristic on R-X diagram is shown in fig

The resistance component of impedance has no

effect on the operation of reactance relay.

The relay responds solely to reactance component of

impedance.

This relay is inherently non-directional.

The relay is most suitable to detect earth faults

where the effect of arc resistance is appreciable.

admittance relay.

Its characteristic on R-X diagram is a circle whose

circumference passes through the origin as illustrated in

Main Features in Distance Scheme

Tata Power Delhi Distribution Limited

Distance schemes consist of the following major components:-

 Starters.

 Measuring units.

 Timers

 Auxiliary relays

4/29/2014

Knowledge Sharing – Make it a way of LIFE
 APTRANSCO

Starters: -

 The starting relay (or starter) initiates the

Tata Power Delhi Distribution Limited

distance scheme in the event of a fault within

the required reach (more than zone-3).

 Other functions of the starter are: -

 Starting of timer relays for second and

third zones.

 Starting of measuring elements.

 The starters are generally of Mho or impedance

type.

4/29/2014

 APTRANSCO

Mho type starters: -

Measuring units for phase and earth faults
can be either directional or non-directional
Tata Power Delhi Distribution Limited

as Mho starter is inherently directional.

With impedance type starters: -

Measuring units have to be directional as
impedance starters are non – directional.

The under impedance relay can be used in

conjunction with the directional relay as
starter which will then function similar to the
Mho starter.

Knowledge Sharing – Make it a way of LIFE
 APTRANSCO
Measuring units: -
They are generally of a mho or reactance or a
combination of mho, reactance and resistance
types.
Tata Power Delhi Distribution Limited

Phase Fault Units:-

 These measuring units are fed with line to
line voltages (such as Vab, Vbc) and
difference between line currents (Ia-Ib).
 They measure the positive sequence
impedance from the relay location to the
fault point.
 Three such relays respond correctly to all
possible single line to ground faults line to
line faults, double line to ground faults
and 3-phase faults.
 They however do not respond correctly to
earth faults.
4/29/2014
22
Knowledge Sharing – Make it a way of LIFE
 APTRANSCO

Earth Fault Units: -

 These measuring units utilize line to neutral
voltage (Van, Vbn Vcn) and phase currents (Ia,
Tata Power Delhi Distribution Limited

Ib, Ic).
 In order to make these units measure the positive
sequence impedance correctly, a zero sequence
current compensation is to be provided which is
obtained by:

 KN = (Z0-Z1)/ 3*Z1 where

 Z1 = positive sequence impedance of
line.
 Z0 = Zero sequence impedance of line.

 In the current circuit (1+KN) Ia will be fed for

the above measurement.

Timers: -
 Timer relays when initiated by starters
Tata Power Delhi Distribution Limited

provide the time lag required for zones.

 They also will be used for zone extension
purpose whenever required.

Auxiliary relays: -
 Distance scheme comprises of several
auxiliary relays, which perform functions
such as flag indications, trippings,
signaling, alarm etc.

 Power Swing blocking: - APTRANSCO

Distance relay which respond to balanced 3-phase

changes in the impedance will be affected by power
swings.
Tata Power Delhi Distribution Limited

Swings or oscillations occur following a system

disturbance such as major load change or a dip in voltage
due to delayed fault clearance.

In case of fault, the transition from period of impedance

locations (25 to 33% of starter impedance) to fault
impedance (starter impedance) is sudden whereas during
power swings it is slow.

The PSB relays use this difference to block the tripping

during swings.

VT fuse failure relay: -

Tata Power Delhi Distribution Limited

The distance relays being voltage restraint O/C

relays, loss of voltage due to main PT fuse failure or
inadvertent removal of fuse in one or more phases
will cause the relay operation.

The fuse failure relay will sense such condition by

the presence of residual voltage without residual
current and blocks the relay.

 APTRANSCO

Switch onto fault: -

When the line is switched on to a close by fault (say

after line clear with earth switch closed), the voltage
Tata Power Delhi Distribution Limited

at the relaying point will be zero. Faults of this type

will normally be cleared by backup zones.

The voltage applied to the relay is low and this

condition occurring simultaneously with the
operation of starter will cause instantaneous trip by
SOTF relay.

This SOTF feature will be effective only for about

1-2 seconds after the line is charged.

Faults occurring after this time will be measured in

the normal way.

Fault locator: -
It measures the distance between the relay
Tata Power Delhi Distribution Limited

location and fault location in terms of Z in

Ohms, or length in KM or percentage of line
length.

This relay gets same inputs as the distance

relay (connected in series with one of the main
relays). The measurement is initiated by trip
signal from distance relays.

The fault locator gives the exact location of the

fault, thereby reducing the time of restoration.

Factors affecting distance relay

operation:-

Fault resistance.

Infeed effect.

Branching-off effect.

Load encroachment.

Fault resistance:-
Fault resistance has two components:-
 Arc resistance.
 Ground resistance.
Tata Power Delhi Distribution Limited

In a fault between phases, only arc resistance is

involved.

For a fault at F, the actual line impedance

R + JX = ZL

Due to the presence of fault resistance, the

impedance measured by the relay
R + JX + RF = ZR (where ZR > ZL).

4/29/2014

Knowledge Sharing – Make it a way of LIFE
 APTRANSCO

 Fault arc resistance is given by Warrington's formula:

Rarc = 8750 x L / I 1.4

where L = length of arc in ft

Tata Power Delhi Distribution Limited

I = fault current in Amps

 The arc resistance has little effect on accuracy of zone-1 unit

as it operates instanteously before the arc can stretch
appreciably except in case of short lines.

 Reactance relays are therefore used for short lines where the
fault resistance may be comparable with that of the protected
lines and also for ground faults where the ground resistance is
high.

 The arc resistance will have greater impact on accuracy of

backup zones (time delayed) as the arc stretches appreciably.

Infeed effect:-

The effect of intermediate current source between relay

location and fault point is termed as infeed effect.
Tata Power Delhi Distribution Limited

Consider the sketch indicated in fig ---

A fault at F on the line BC is at a distance of Z1+Z2 for the

relay at station A. But when current I2 flows from bus D,
the impedance to the fault as seen by the relay at A is
Z1 + Z2 + Z2 x (I2/I1).

Thus the fault is seen by the relay as farther than what it

really is, i.e. distance relay under reaches due to the infeed
effect.

The effect of infeed becomes more pronounced with more

interconnections at station B.

Branching-off effect: -

A fault at F is at the distance of Z1+Z2 for the relay at

Tata Power Delhi Distribution Limited

station A. But when current I1 gets distributed as I2 &

I3 at station B, the impedance to fault seen by the relay
at station A will be (Z1 + I3/I1 * Z2) which is less
than (Z1+Z2).

Then the fault is seen by the relay as nearer than what it

really is i.e. distance relay overreaches due to
branching-off effect. This overreaching tendency will
cause the relay to loose its selectivity.

Load encroachment: -
]
While protecting long lines the necessary reach may be
Tata Power Delhi Distribution Limited

so large that the minimum service impedance (or load

impedance) falls within the region of the starter. This
would result in tripping without there being any fault.

The two conditions i.e. operation at heavy load and

short circuit differ by virtue of phase angle between
voltage and current.

For the load impedance, the phase angle will be within

+30 to -30 Deg. While during short circuits, the fault
impedance has a phase angle of 60 to 80 deg. (i.e. line
angle).

Load encroachment problem is more pronounced in case

of under impedance starters and gets lessened in case of
mho, elliptical, lens etc, type of starters.

Relays with suitable characteristic on R-X diagram have

to be carefully chosen to protect long and heavily loaded
lines, and this becomes easily possible with
microprocessor based numerical relays.

Non-switched scheme vs switched scheme: -

Tata Power Delhi Distribution Limited

In an ideal Non-switched scheme, there will be 6

starters, 3 for phase faults and 3 for ground faults.

There will be independent measuring units for

both phase faults and earth fault for each phase,
for all three zones, totaling to 18 units.

This scheme is faster and more accurate but is

costly.

In the switched scheme, only one measuring unit

will be used for all types of faults

4/29/2014
38
Knowledge Sharing – Make it a way of LIFE
 APTRANSCO

This single measuring unit is switched to the

correct fault loop impedance by switching-in
the respective voltages and currents by the
Tata Power Delhi Distribution Limited

starter.

The reach of the measuring element gets

extended to zone-2 and zone-3 after the elapse
of corresponding timings through zone
extension process.

Switched scheme is relatively slow in

operation and has the risk of total scheme
failure in the event of failure of the only one
measuring unit available.

Zone extension schemes: -

As a via media between non-switched and switched
schemes, there are schemes with zone extension

facility (such as EE make MM3V & MR3V relays).

These schemes consists of 3 measuring units for

phase faults and 3 measuring units for earth faults
(apart from 3 starters).

zone-2 and zone-3 after elapse of corresponding
timings through a zone extension process.

Other Operating Characteristics:

Earlier when electromagnetic relays were in use, the

characteristics involving straight lines and /or circles

on R-X diagram were only possible.

With the advent of static relays, microprocessor

based relays and presently of numerical relays, any
desired/required-operating characteristic is possible
giving wider choice for selection of relays. Infact
there are relays, which can be programmed
remotely.

Application of distance relays:

Since the distance relays are fed from the secondaries of

Tata Power Delhi Distribution Limited

line CTs and bus PTs/line CVTs, the line parameters are
to be converted into secondary values to set the relay as
per requirements.

Zsecy = Zpri/Impedance ratio

(where Impedance ratio = P.T.Ratio/C.T.Ratio)

Hence any changes in C.T .ratio has to be effected along

with revision of relay settings only.
