Power System Protection Tutorial 3

This document contains solutions to tutorial problems about power system protection. It includes: 1) Calculating line currents for a line-to-line fault with 10kA flowing out of line B and back on line C. 2) Analyzing the operation of an overcurrent relay connected to a CT for a 200A primary fault, including whether the CT will saturate and the percentage error. 3) Determining phase and residual currents for various faults, including a single-phase fault with 9kA and a two-phase fault with 5kA, using 600:5 class C100 CTs. 4) Calculating CT secondary output and error for primary loads of 400A and 1200

1.. The circuit shown in Fig.1 below has a line – to line fault with 10 kA going
out B line and back on line C. Choose the current through line B to be as the reference
line, calculate the currents through phase relays (OC) and earth fault relay (EF).

transformer (whose excitation curve is given in Figure 2 below) with CT ratio
=100:5, Zs = 0.082 Ω and ZB = 0.8 Ω. The core area is 2.8x10-3 m2 and f= 50 Hz.
(a) Will the relay detect a 200A fault current on the primary side?
(b) Determine whether or not the CT will saturate.
