Transfer Trip Scheme

An overview
1. PUTT –Permissive Underreaching Transfer Trip
• Instantaneous Zone-1 of the protective scheme at each end of the protected
line is set to cover 80% of the line. remaining 20% comes under zone 2
protection causes, it will take more time to trip.
• Also, the fault is still on the line even though Relay-1 tripped and current is
flowing through Relay-2.
• To avoid this one relay will send a trip signal to the other for instantaneous
tripping.
• 100 % zone 1 instantaneous inter trip (<3 cycles) can be achieved by
interconnecting the distance relays are each end of the line by Transfer Trip.
• Suppose fault under R1-zone 1 region makes CB1 trip and R1 send trip signal to
R2,hence instantaneous tripping of CB2 as well .

An overview
• Suppose fault under R2-zone 1 region makes CB2 trip and R2 send trip signal to
R1,hence instantaneous tripping of CB1.
• To avoid mal-operation due to receipt of false signal each case piolet trip signal
is supervised by Zone 2.

 Transfer Trip Scheme
An overview
1. POTT –Permissive Overreaching Transfer Trip
• In this scheme the Zone2 (may be 120%) of the line, is used to send an inter-
tripping signal to the remote end of the line.
• It is essential that the receive relay contact be monitored by a directional relay
to ensure that tripping does not take place unless the fault is within the
protected section.
• The disadvantage of this scheme is that some cases, there is no independent
Zone-1 tripping. The fast tripping therefore relies entirely on signaling channel.
• This scheme is suitable for short lines where an underreaching Zone-1 would
be too short to be of any practical use.
