Protection riddle no. 10 – Differential protection and auto transfer system
» Protection
In a low voltage substation, including two incomings and a coupling circuit
» Protection Riddles 1
breakers, incoming [Link] are connected to two individual power transformers
» Protection Riddles 2 which are fed from upstream medium voltage system.
» Protection Riddles 3
The two low voltage bus bars are equipped by a fast auto transfer system which
is considered for coupling C.B auto closing when one of two bus bars is dead.
» Protection Riddles 4
Also each transformer is protected by standard differential relay that must trip
» Protection Riddles 5 medium and low voltage [Link] via fast interposing trip relays.
» Protection Riddles 6
The problem observed when a short circuit occurred in one of two transformer
windings. The differential relay operated and only relevant medium voltage
» Protection Riddles 7
circuit breaker tripped. The fault clearing stage was done successfully and
» Protection Riddles 8 related low voltage bus bar was dead. In this case the auto transfer system
» Protection Riddles 9
closed the low voltage coupling circuit breaker, and the short circuit point
energized again.

Indeed, the relevant low voltage C.B of faulty transformer couldn't open on
» Protection Riddles 23 time. Last investigation didn't show any problem in low voltage C.B mechanism
» Protection Riddles 24 or related circuits.
» Protection Riddles 25
How can you explain the reason of low voltage C.B inactivity?

Transformer vector group is to be looked in to. If it is delta/star and the fault is

As M.V. side is in delta connection, E/f in this winding produces no fault

» Protection Riddles 46 When the higher voltage circuit breaker is tripped after a heavy internal fault,
» Protection Riddles 47
by protection which cannot conveniently provide an auxiliary contact with a
dwell time long enough to ensure correct tripping of the lower voltage circuit
» Protection Riddles 48 breaker.
» Protection Riddles 49 Typically the relay is initiated by transformer protection, such as overall
» Protection Riddles 50
differential where both the HV and LV circuit breakers are to be tripped
simultaneously.
» Protection Riddles 51 The HV circuit breaker may be expected to trip more quickly than the LV
» Protection Riddles 52 breaker. So the tripping signal is maintained by the delayed resetting, to ensure
complete clearance by the fault may have been cleared largely by the HV
» Protection Riddles 53
circuit breaker and the protection has started to reset.
» Protection Riddles 54 Therefore a good solution is applying of trip relay with suitable drop off time in
» Protection Riddles 55 LV voltage side for remaining of protection system trip command on LV circuit
breaker for enough time.

I agree with the author that any fault between the zone protected by differential
» Protection Riddles 61 CTs ie Primary and Secondary of transformer will give trip command to both
» Protection Riddles 62 MV and LV breakers siomultaneously sothat transformer is isolated. The
differential relay 87T will operate for the faults within the zone and not any
» Protection Riddles 63
fault occuring out side the zone.
» Protection Riddles 64 If there is a fault after the protected zone of 87T occuring say at LV bus and if
» Protection Riddles 65 the protective relay gives trip command only to MV breaker then LV breaker
will not operate and bus fault continues even after ATs [Link] may be the
» Protection Riddles 66
reason of the case described here.
