The problems • Shunt capacitors have a considerable impact on the circulating currents and transient behaviour of the protection relay during line faults under weak infeed conditions. • Some faults can challenge the basic principles and, unless measures are taken, incorrect operation of the protection devices can result. • Some examples of such conditions are close-up faults where the faulted voltage is virtually zero, so that the correct direction is more difficult to determine. • Reverse faults in Porto Velho S/S may be seen as a forward fault when one side of the transmission system is weak. • Moreover, the apparent fault resistance depends on the fault location and is very pronounced in Abuna S/S (Semaphore effect). This has a similar effect as an additional strong infeed, and thereby increases enormously the measured fault resistance when the fault location approaches the opposite line-end near Porto Velho S/S.

Conclusions • In geographically large countries, the power must often be transferred from remote power generation centres to the load centres. In the case presented, the transmission system angle can therefore exceed 60°. • For the majority of faults, distance protection operates correctly in the Acre-Rondonia system. • To achieve the best results under all system conditions, more than one polarisation quantity for the directional decision must be used:- directional decision built-in each of the 6 measured loops- directional decision based on more than one polarising quantity (adaptive measurement characteristics with automatic selection) - directional decision using cross-polarising healthy phases in conjunction with memory polarisation, selectivity conditions and filtering techniques.
