Applying the SEL-352 Relay

for Automatic Throw-Over Control
of a Bus Tie and Incoming Circuit Breakers
Shaojun Chen and Scott Anderson

INTRODUCTION
The SEL-352 Relay is an extremely flexible device. Two voltage source inputs and enhanced
SELOGIC® control equations allow the SEL-352 Relay to implement throw-over control functions
in addition to its pre-designed tasks. Automatic throw-over control of a bus tie and incoming
circuit breakers reduces the time that load is disconnected from a power source after a power
system disturbance. This application guide describes how to use the SEL-352 Relay to
automatically restore power to either 110 kV bus tie sections or 10 kV double bus sections as
shown in Figure 1, in the event that the respective source is removed.

 In the 110 kV section of Figure 1, the SEL-352 Relay opens or closes circuit breakers CB1 and
CB2 to provide consistent power to as many as two 110/10 kV transformers connected to an
alternate power source. In the 10 kV bus section of Figure 1, when either of two 10 kV buses is
deenergized, the SEL-352 Relay detects a live bus and closes the bus-tie Breaker 6 (CB6) to
quickly restore power to the bus. The restoration schemes use line potential transformer inputs to
distinguish dead line or live line for 110 kV incoming feeders and use 10 kV bus potential
transformer inputs to specify which 10 kV bus is dead.
We present four cases based on the pre-disturbance bus arrangement and the desired
post-disturbance arrangement. Undervoltage elements, overcurrent elements, programmable
SELOGIC control equations, and intermediate timers provide a fast and orderly restoration of load.

THROW-OVER CONTROL CASE:

The automatic throw-over logic described here assumes the following:
• All outgoing loads connected to 10 kV buses are radially connected.
• Circuit breakers CB1, CB2, CB3, CB4, CB5, and CB6 have fault current interruption
capability.
• Both 110 kV incoming lines have sufficient capacity to serve both 10 kV Buses 1 and 2
simultaneously.
• External inputs (bus protection trip inputs in particular) are externally latched.
Throw-over control is provided for the following cases:
• Throw-over Control Case 1: Breaker 1 and Breaker 3 normally are closed. When Breaker
1 is removed from service, Breaker 2 automatically is closed to provide an alternate source
for both distribution transformers.
• Throw-over Control Case 2: Breaker 2 and Breaker 3 normally are closed. When Breaker
2 is removed from service, Breaker 1 automatically is closed to provide an alternate source
for both distribution transformers.
• Throw-over Control Case 3: Breaker 4 and Breaker 5 normally are closed. When Breaker
4 is removed from service, Breaker 6 automatically is closed to provide an alternate source
for Bus Section 1.
• Throw-over Control Case 4: Breaker 4 and Breaker 5 normally are closed. When Breaker
5 is removed from service, Breaker 6 automatically is closed to provide an alternate source
for Bus Section 2.
Table 1, Table 2, Table 3, and Table 4 summarize the desired breaker operations for faults on the
various sections.

 OUT105 = RTA (trip Circuit Breaker 1)
OUT106 = RTB (trip Circuit Breaker 2)
OUT107 = RTC (trip Circuit Breaker 3)

C-phase of the Bus 1 potential transformer (PT3) and the inputs VAY, VBY, and VCY to the

Connect the inputs IA, IB, and IC of the relay to the current transformer (CT) associated with
bus-tie CB6.
OUT102 through OUT104 of the SEL-352 Relay are asserted to close Circuit Breakers 4 through
6, and OUT105 through OUT107 are asserted to trip Circuit Breakers 4 through 6, respectively.
A summary of general closing and tripping settings for breakers CB4, CB5, and CB6 follows:
SALOG = CUSTOM
SBLOG = CUSTOM
Relay inputs:

OUT106 = RTB (trip Circuit Breaker 5)
OUT107 = RTC (trip Circuit Breaker 6)

THROW-OVER CONTROL CASE 1: AUTOMATIC CONTROL OF CIRCUIT BREAKER 2

Use SELOGIC control equations to program the SEL-352 Relay to effect the automatic throw-
over. Timer T2A is set once the pre-fault condition (see Table 1) is true for the timer pickup
time. T2B supervises external trip inputs and CB2 status. Conditions for the throw-over
initiation are the collapse of Line 1 voltage and the disappearance of load current. Should these
conditions persist for longer than the T3A time setting, CB1 is tripped via T3B followed by the
closing of CB2 via T3C.

SELOGIC control equations:

X27D3 = dead line voltage on Line 1

Y27D3 = dead line voltage on Line 2 (not used)
Y59L3 = live line voltage on Line 2
T2A = !52AA*52AB*!52AC*X59L3*Y59L3 (Breakers 1 and 3 closed, Breaker 2
opened)
T2B = IN105 + !52AB + T3C (block throw-over)
where:
IN105 = external blocking input
50LD = load current of Line 1
T3A = T2AD*(X27D3 *Y59L3)*!50LD*!T2BD (Line 1 dead following Case 1
operation condition, no blocking)
T3B = T3AD*!52AA (set longer than the longest auto-reclose dead time)
RTA = T3BD (trip Circuit Breaker 1 after T3Apu delay)
T3C = T3AD*52AA
CCB = T3CD (close Circuit Breaker 2 right after CB1 opens)
If voltage on the incoming Line 1 is restored before CB2 closes, X27D3 deasserts thus aborting
the closing of CB2. If the voltage collapse is due to a permanent fault on Line 1, the Line 1
protection trips CB1 and the SEL-352 Relay closes CB2. Tripping of CB1 is reinforced via T3B
to ensure that CB2 is not energized onto a permanent fault.

Figure 4 shows the logic for tripping CB2 and closing CB1. Should Line 2 lose its voltage, CB2
trips sequentially via the SEL-352 Relay. CB1 then automatically closes after a T3Cpu time
delay. If voltage returns to Line 2 before CB1 closes, the logic aborts the closing of CB1.

Figure 6 shows the logic for tripping either CB4 or CB5 and then closing CB6. When the Throw-
over Case 3 and 4 condition exists for T2Apu (e.g., 10 seconds), the automatic throw-over control
of CB6 is enabled. Should the Bus 1 lose its bus voltage because of internal faults on
Transformer 1, CB4 trips sequentially after a T3Apu time delay via the SEL-352 Relay. CB6
closes automatically after CB4 opens.

Close CB6 for loss of voltage on Bus 1 but for full voltage on Bus 2. Set the T3Apu time delay
greater than the tripping time of CB4. This ensures that CB4 has time to open before the relay
attempts to close CB6.

 If a permanent fault occurs on Transformer 1 (T1), the transformer protection of T1 trips CB4.
Close CB6 after verifying that Bus 1 loses its source to restore power on Bus 1. If a permanent
fault occurs on Transformer 2 (T2), Breaker 5 trips, and the above throw-over control logic closes
CB6 to restore power to Bus 2.
