Protection Application Example

380 kV OHL

3110 Operating mode: A total of 4 stages are available, one of which may be
applied as inverse stage. In this application only three stages will be used,
the 3I0>>> stage for fast (single time step) directional operation and the
3I0>> stage for time delayed directional operation and fast directional
comparison as well as the 3I0> stage for non-directional back-up operation.
This stage must therefore be set to Forward.

3111 3I0>>> Pickup: This stage must operate with the same sensitivity as the
backup (emergency) overcurrent stage 3I0>> (refer to setting 2612).
Therefore apply the setting 3.50 A here. Note that this stage is only active
when distance protection is not picked up (Z1 and Z1B), and it is directional
(no reverse fault operation) whereas the backup O/C stage only operates in
the emergency mode when distance protection is not available.

3112 T 3I0>>> Time delay: This stage must operate with single time step delay
therefore set 0.25 sec here.

3113 Instantaneous trip via Teleprot./BI: The stage 3I0>> will operate with
teleprotection so the setting here is NO .

3114 Instantaneous trip after SwitchOnToFault: As stated above, only the distance
protection operates with SOTF so set NO here.

3115 Inrush Blocking: As stated above, inrush blocking is not applied so set NO
here.

3120 Operating mode: In this application only three stages will be used, the 3I0>>>
stage for fast (single time step) directional operation and the 3I0>> stage for
time delayed directional operation and fast directional comparison as well as
the 3I0> stage for non-directional back-up operation. This stage must
therefore be set to Forward.

3121 3I0>> Pickup: This stage must operate for all internal high resistance faults,
use a 20% margin.
