SECTION B – (1 x 10 = 10 marks)
(Compulsory Question)
7 Figure given below shows distance protection for a section
of a power system. I zone setting at A and B is 150 ohms.
(a) What will be impedance seen by the relay at A for a
fault at F1? Will the relay at A operate before the circuit
breaker at B has tripped?
(b) Will the relay at B trip for a fault at F1 before the circuit
breaker at A has tripped?
(c) If the circuit breaker C2 fails for a fault at F2, will the
fault be cleared by relays at A and B?
(d) How will the fault at F2 be cleared?
