Protection Application Example

380 kV OHL

Z1B compared to Z1 because this is an overreach zone while Z1 is set to


underreach. The amount of additional R reach mainly depends on the ratio of
R reach to X reach setting. For the Zone Z1B the following limit is
recommended:

X ( Z1B) < R ( Z1B) < 4 ⋅ X ( Z1B)

Looking ahead at the applied setting for “1353 X(Z1B), Reactance” which is
6.633 Ohm, it is apparent that the lower limit will apply. The setting of R(Z1B)
therefore also is 6.633 Ohm.

1353 X(Z1B), Reactance: The Zone Z1B must be set to overreach Line 1. The
minimum setting is 120% of the line reactance. In practice however a setting
of 150% or greater is applied unless the line in question is extremely long.
Risk of underreach due to the effects shown in Figure 20, 22 and 29 are then
avoided. For this application, medium length line a reach of 150% is selected:

X ( Z1B) = 1.5 ⋅ X Line1


X ( Z1B) = 1.5 ⋅ 80 ⋅ 0.21
X ( Z1B) = 25.2Ω( prim)

The applied setting therefore is:

X ( Z1B) = 25.2Ω( prim) ⋅ 0.2632


X ( Z1B) = 6.633Ω(sec)

6.633 Ohm.

1354 RE(Z1B), Resistance for ph-e faults: As was the case for the Zone 1 settings,
this setting must cover all internal arc faults. The minimum setting therefore
equals the RE(Z1) setting, 2.358 Ohm. As described for setting “1352
R(Z1B)” additional reach is usually applied and the following rule of thumb is
used for the RE(Z1B) setting:

(1 + XE XL) ⋅ X (Z1B) < RE (Z1B) < (1 + XE XL) ⋅ 4 ⋅ X (Z1B)


(1 + RE RL) (1 + RE RL)
in this example the lower limit applies, so the setting for RE(Z1B) is:

RE ( Z1B) =
(1 + 1.07 ) ⋅ 6.633
(1 + 1.38)
R ( Z1B) = 5.769Ω(sec)

This setting is then applied, 5.769 Ohm.

1355 T1B-1phase, delay for single ph. Faults: In this POTT scheme both single
and multi phase faults must be tripped without additional delay. The setting
