Mho Relay Settings for Distance Protection

This document discusses distance protection and provides an example problem. It summarizes: 1. A mho relay is being used to provide 100% protection for a 50km, 110kV transmission line. The relay settings are calculated based on the line impedance. 2. It is determined that the maximum load current will not cause the mho relay to trip, as it does not fall within the operating circle. 3. Using the kilometric approach and assuming a pu impedance per km, the settings for zone 1, 2 and 3 relays are determined based on the shortest and longest backup line lengths. This approach neglects load and operating condition effects.

3 Distance Protection
2.3.1 Example
1.

(a) Find out the value of Zn for a mho relay with torque angle
which has to give 100%
protection to a 50 km long 110kV transmission line with impedance
per km and
angle
.
Ans:
The two design parameters of a mho relay are Zn and
relay has been selected as
.
The transmission line impedance

. Here the torque angle,

of the

as on primary

where Rc, CT ratio = 200


Rv, VT ratio = 1000

where

angle of transmission line

, this value is to be set on the mho relay.


(b) If the maximum load on this line is 1000A at
lagging, is there any possibility of relay
tripping on load? CT ratio is1000:5
Ans:
Maximum Load current

= 1000A

Since this value will not fall within the operating circle, the mho relay will not trip for this load.

Assuming that pu impedance of all transmission lines in above fig 22.5 is


the setting of zone 1, zone 2 and zone 3 relays of R1.

pu

/km, determine

Ans:

[because BA is the shortest back up line]


[because BC is the longest back up line

This approach for setting of distance relays presented is known as kilometric


distance approach because the set values of impedances are proportional to
lengths. In doing so, we have neglected effect of load currents and as well as the
effect of change in operating condition in the system. More accurate settings can be
computed by evaluating fault impedance seen by the relay for a fault by using short
circuit analysis programs.
