SO THAT :
X Damage to the faulted equipment is limited;
X Disruption of supplies to adjacent unfaulted
equipment is minimised.
SUMMARY :
Protection must :
X Detect faults and abnormal operating conditions;
X Isolate the faulted equipment.
So as to :
X Limit damage caused by fault energy;
X Limit effect on rest of system.

Less damage
Less pre-heating of circuit breaker contacts (reduced

X Speed
Fast operation :
Minimises damage and danger
Very fast operation :
Minimises system instability
Discrimination and security can be costly to
achieve as it generally involves additional
signaling / communications equipment.

X Dependability / Reliability
Protection must operate when required to
Failure to operate can be extremely damaging
and disruptive
Faults are rare. Protection must operate even
after years of inactivity
Improved by use of: Back-up protection and
duplicate protection
X Security / Stability
Protection must not operate when not required to,
e.g. due to : Load switching
Faults on other parts of the system
Recoverable power swings
X Phase Discrimination
Correct indication of phases involved in the fault
Important for single phase tripping and auto-
reclosing applications
