    Objective We are here to help make your job easier.

    This is very informal and designed aroundISO Applications. Please ask question.We are not here to preach to you.

    The knowledge base on GE MultilinRelays varies greatly at ISO. If you have aquestion, there is a good chance there are3 or 4 other people that have the samequestion. Please ask it.

    Selection of protective relays requires compromises:

    Maximum and Reliable protection at minimumequipment cost

    High Sensitivity to faults and insensitivity to maximumload currents

    High-speed fault clearance with correct selectivity

    Selectivity in isolating small faulty area

    Ability to operate correctly under all predictable powersystem conditions

    Cost of protective relays should be balancedagainst risks involved if protection is notsufficient and not enough redundancy.

    Primary objectives is to have faulted zones

    primary protection operate first, but if there areprotective relays failures, some form ofbackup protection is provided.

    Backup protection is local (if local primaryprotection fails to clear fault) and remote (ifremote protection fails to operate to clear

    fault)

    1. Overlap is accomplished by the locations of CTs, the key source forprotective relays.

    2. In some cases a fault might involve a CT or a circuit breaker itself, whichmeans i t can not be cleared until adjacent breakers (local or remote) areopened.

    IEEE relay class is defined in terms of the voltage a CTcan deliver at 20 times the nominal current ratingwithout exceeding a 10% composite ratio error.

    For example, a relay class of C100 on a 1200:5 CT means thatthe CT can develop 100 volts at 24,000 primary amps(1200*20) without exceeding a 10% ratio error. Maximumburden = 1 ohm.

    2. Reactance Grounded: Total systemcapacitance is cancelled by equalinductance. This decreases the

    Grounding Differences.Why?

    Ungrounded Very little ground current (less damage) Big neutral voltage shift

    Must insulate line-to-line voltage

    May run system while trying to find ground fault Relay more difficult/costly to detect and locate ground

    faults

    If you get a second ground fault on adjacent phase,watch out!

    Devices such as circuit breakers or fused switchesprovide protection against short circuits and groundfaults

    Interrupting devices (other than fuses) are non-automatic. They require control signals instructingthem to open or close.

    Monitoring and control circuitry work together withthe switching and interrupting devices to turncircuits on and off, and guard circuits fromdegradation or fluctuations in power supply thatcould affect or damage equipment

    Routine metering functions include operatingamperes and voltage, watts, kilowatt hours,frequency, power factor.

    ultl n

    An electric arc flash can occur if a conductive object getstoo close to a high-amp current source or by equipment

    failure (ex., while opening or closing disconnects, rackingout) 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 exposureand 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.
