Introduction Relays at the Transmission terminals talk with each other using telecommunication media. Pilot relays do not pick up for faults outside their defined zone of protection. Pilot relays pick up instantaneously for faults within their defined zone of protection. For increased reliability some type of backup protection is also provided SCE Property

Microwave Telecom Equipment
Each terminal is equipped with hot standby transmitter. Switching circuitry is bilateral in between transmitters The input to the receivers from the antenna is connected through an RF Hybrid Switching time for manual operation < 20 msec. Switching time for automatic operation < 25 msec. Operation of either or both of these switches cause a “Guard” or “Off Normal” lamps Hot standby operation of Transmitters and Receivers allows uninterrupted operation on failure of one equipment SCE Property

Pilot Relaying Philosophy
Principle of Differential Relaying is applied for instantaneous tripping for in zone faults Four wires, normally termed as Pilot Wires, run in between substations to compare current between terminals (Typical F/C 15ms – 25ms) HCB Relays from Westinghouse (ABB) are predominantly used as Pilot relays for lines up to 20 miles. HCB relay contains Sequence filters, DC polar unit with Operating and Restraining coils, Insulating and Saturating Transformers SCE Property

Pilot Relaying Philosophy
Westinghouse (ABB) LCB relays are used for Pilot Relaying for Transmission lines from 20 to 250 miles length. The communication medium is Fiber Optics The relay contains Sequence Filter, Transmitter Modulator ( 1 Ph -> FM), Receiver De Modulator (FM –> 1Ph), Phase comparison Unit (compare currents at Local/ Remote terminal) For out of zone fault, the signals would be out of phase and in phase for fault in the zone.

Phase Comparison Relaying
Relay combination used with phase comparison systems are SLD or SKBU carrier relaying and CO( Residual Ground)/ ICC (Directional ground). Phase comparison relaying compares current phasors at local and remote terminals. Line and Neutral potential are not required. Faults in the protected zone would cause the currents to trip in less than 3 cycles Fault detector turns on carrier signal during Fault Transmitter generates blocking pulse during negative half cycle. During external fault both transmitters produce additive blocking pulse for the full cycle. During internal fault out of phase pulse cancel blocking pulse, allowing the relay to trip. SCE Property
24
Phase Comparison Relaying
SPCU relays are used for Phase comparison for Phase and Phase to Ground faults Microwave is used for communication of current phasors. Guard signals are transmitted for communication health. Relay trips in 9 cycles on loss of guard signal. Noise on communication channel will block tripping. SRU/ UIO as auxiliary relay for annunciation purpose Directional comparison blocking ( SLYP/ SLYN) compares current direction at both terminals to determine in zone or out of zone faults to block tripping SLYP provides Zone1 element ( 80% of line: instantaneous trip with TT), Zone2 (125% of Line) (Instantaneous for in zone fault and TT or blocking signal for out of zone faults) and Zone3 (180% of line sends blocking signal out of zone faults) SLYN provides Directional overcurrent, trip for in zone faults and block for out of zone faults SCE Property
25
DCB Philosophy Impedance relays trip instantaneously for z1 faults covering 80% of line Over reaching impedance relays with z2 faults operate with time delay covering 125% of the line Directional comparison Blocking (DCB) allows over reaching relays to trip instantaneously by blocking out of zone faults Thus Phase Distance Relays and ground over current relays can provide instantaneous protection for in zone faults Only one Communication channel is used for sending blocking signal only , used with PLC schemes SCE Property

Typical Transfer Trip Relaying
Transfer Trip schemes are another flavor of Directional comparison schemes, where two relays communicate to trip rather than block. The two frequencies transmitted through two communication channels are: Guard frequency to keep guard relays closed to block tripping over channel noise Tripping Frequency to allow tripping relay to pickup and trip circuit breakers Basic Transfer trip Schemes: Direct Transfer Trip (DTP) Direct Overreaching Transfer Trip (DOTT) – 125% Direct Under reaching Transfer Trip (DUTT) – 80% Permissive Transfer Trip Permissive Overreaching Transfer Trip (POTT) – 125 % Permissive Under reaching Transfer Trip (PUTT) –80% SCE Property
28
Typical PUTT Relaying Scheme
Typical PUTT Relaying Scheme would have following components: 3 GCX (Directional Distance Relays ( Z1, Z2 and Z3 protection) Z2 and Z3 timer provides backup delayed tripping to POTT 1 JBCG directional Ground Relays 2 Transmitter and Receiver systems 2 Transfer Trip communication channels 1 Ground Fault detector relay (SC) 1 HD Balance relay to be used as backup for Transfer Tripping Trip signal at Remote terminal is enabled only when both transmitters are keyed to trip simultaneously, if Local and Remote permissive trip signal is available Loss of Guard signal for six cycles continuously will disable the channel equipment and if it continues for more than 2 seconds resulting into alarm and if alarm is continuous, then the relays are made inactive SCE Property

Typical POTT Relaying Scheme
Typical POTT Relaying Scheme would have following components: 3 CEY (Impedance relay with zone 2 timer- starts at fault detection) 1 SLYG directional Ground Relays 2 GE Type 40 Transmitter and Receiver systems 2 Transfer Trip communication channels (Primary/ Secondary) When a terminal receives the shift from Guard to trip frequency and a trip signal is present from Local relay, the local CB will trip Zone 2 timer is reset after the fault is cleared If zone 2 timer times out it will trip the local CBs irrespective of Tone signals from receiver to provide a backup protection If the fault is out of zone, then relay at the remote terminal will not pickup and removes the Guard frequency, preventing local relay to trip Loss of Guard signal for six cycles continuously will disable the channel equipment and continuous alarm will deactivate the relays SCE Property

Issues in Relay Communication
Optical fiber cable damage or too high output from communications interface causes loss of channel signal alarm and may need attenuation or proper splice tray connection. T1 communication standard (DS1) requires transmittal of at least one pulse within any eight bit sequence. Loss of synchronization and unlocked frequency clocks could result in frame slips. Resulting in data loss. Leased Phone Lines need CSU channels as demarcation point between vendor and customer’s communication terminals. Interference on the cable/ CSU may cause loss of signal. SCE Property
34
Issues in Relay Communication
High induced voltages across pilot wire possibly caused by faults or lightning could cause induced fluxes and rise in ground voltage. This is remediated through provision of neutralizing reactors, voltage limiting circuits or surge suppressors. Open or shorted pilot wires are monitored and resulting erroneous trip signals are blocked. SCE Property
