contents
What are bus bars?
• Thick copper strips, rigid or hollow conductors
which has many inputs and outputs
• It has incoming & outgoing line connections.

• Bus bar zones include bus-bars, isolating


switches, current breakers, CTs, bus
sectionalizing reactors etc.
• Hence require special attention
Faults in bus bars & reasons
faults
• Earth fault or line to ground fault
• Phase to phase fault
Reasons
• Insulator flash over due to over voltages
• Failure due to connected equipment
• Earth fault due to insulator support failure
• Leakage in the frames(Switch gear panel)
• Un-forseen reasons like mechanical damages or
earth quakes
Methods of bus-bar protection
Differential protection for bus-bar
arrangement
• Incomer line is connected with CT1 & CB1
• Out going feeders are connected with CT2,
CT3, CB2 & CB3.
• All 3 CTs secondary are connected in parallel
• Incomer side CTs and feeder side CTs are
connected through pilot wires, across which
relay coil is connected.
Working
 During normal operation and external
fault( beyond the bus bar zone), the sum of
incoming current equals the outgoing current ,
and the relay will not operate.
 For an internal fault, the incoming current will
be more than the outgoing currents, and a
proportionate differential current would flow
through the relay coil, and the relay coil will
operate the trip circuit.
Frame leakage/Fault bus protection
working
• This method insulates the bus-supporting
structure and its switchgear from the ground,
interconnecting all the framework, circuit
breakers tanks, etc. and provided a single
ground tank connection through a CT that
feeds an overcurrent relay.
• The overcurrent relay controls a multi-contact
auxiliary relay that trips the breakers of all
circuits connected to the bus.
