DIGITAL DISTANCE PROTECTION
WITH AUTOMATIC RECLOSING EQUIPMENT FOR MEDIUM VOLTAGE NETWORKS |
|
The digital distance protection with automatic
reclosing equipment for medium voltage networks of type DKTVA-EP is part
of device family named EuroProt. This short description contains special
data of this type. General and common features of EuroProt family can be
found in the EuroProt system information sheet. Accordingly it is proposed
to study both this short description and system information sheet too, in
order to understand the device entirely.

Application field |
|
The DKTVA-EP type digital distance protection
completed with sensitive earth fault protection and automatic fault locator
is applied as a selective phase and sensitive earth fault protection of
an overhead line or cable in a medium voltage network which is effectively
not earthed, but isolated or compensated and meshed.
A three shot three phase automatic reclosing equipment is also built
into the protection.

Working principles |
|
The current and voltage inputs go through inductive
auxiliary transformers and low pass filters to the multiplexer and the sample/hold
circuit which gets sample in each 0,5 ms. Signals of an A/D converter go
through high speed series bus to the central unit and to the fault recorder
if it was ordered as an option. On the PCB of central unit, a digital signal
processor (DSP) makes necessary arithmetical operations with high speed.
A central processor carries out the time delaying and logical functions,
and holds interconnections with the optical coupler inputs and the output
relay drivers.
The overcurrent stages (3Io>t, I>t) detect current with average
measurement. The operation conditions of the phase OC stage is that the
VT midget CB trips, i.e. when the impedance stages are also blocked.
The distance protection has got four directed impedance stages,. the
first three stages have forward direction, the 4th stage is directed to
backward
The four stages of the distance protection are blocked by the VT midget
CB trip.
All the four distance protection stages have polygon characteristics
in the impedance plane, see Figure 1.

Figure 1.
All the four impedance stages work with an algorithm solving the transmission
line differential equation.
The momentary values of six impedance measuring units of the protection
calculated may be read on an on-line screen of an external PC connected
to the protection. Checking the proper connection of analogue inputs is
helped by an on-line screen on which each analogue signal may be inquired.
The suitable directional connection of device may be also known, checked
by symmetrical load current.
The distance protection is able to receive permissive overreach and underreach
transfer trip command from the distance protection placed on the other
side of the protected line. The command overrides the second stage timer
[t(Z2<) = 0].
On close-in-fault, the protection remembers the voltage before the fault.
This feature gives a direction detection without dead zone.
On close-to-fault, the fact of whole voltage collapse (neither before
nor under the fault) determines the close-to-fault event, so if there
is current detection in the same time as well, the protection trips instantaneously
and definitely.
On an effectively not earthed network, the current value of a single
earth fault is fairly low compared to the phase fault current. The single
earth fault is catched by a sensitive directional zero sequence OC stage
(3Io>UoIoj t), which has an operation condition of zero sequence voltage
relay (Uo>) for safety.
On an effectively not earthed network, a double earth fault, i.e.single
earth faults in two different phases and two different places occurs very
frequently.
If double earth fault occurs in one line, the distance protection trips
it.
If the two earth faults occur on two different lines, the distance protection
system trips always the line on which the fault takes places before the
other in phase sequence (cyclic selection system).
Three shot three phase automatic reclosing equipment is built into the
device. Any possibility of the reclosing cycles may be separately blocked.
The reclaim time of the automatic recloser is set to teml = 5 s, fixed.
Operation of some output relay contacts, of the logical (dc) busbar protection
and of two additional timers (matrix column units) may be separately programmed
by software matrix.
Seven red LED's on the front plate give fast information about the events
on protection operation.

cabinet frame, this form is also able to mount directly to a relay panel
with flash mounted form. The other form is a relay panel mounted device
with raised-hinged form. Its size depends on the chosen form.
