  28. ? Situate the protection relay DISCRIMINATION Points to remember G Network protection F E The various discrimination types The various discrimination types D The various earthing system types C Network disturbances B Network architecture A What exactly is protection

  29. - 6 types of discrimination to optimise continuity of supply 6 discrimination principles: • time • current • logic • by directional protection • by differential protection • combined Discrimination: Isolate only the faulty part Supply the healthy sector Choice of protection relay as per: Network Disturbances incurred Earthing system

  30. - Time discrimination • Principle: “time” • time delays increasingly short as we move away from the source Source • tripping as close as possible to the fault TA =1.1 s. • Advantages TB =0.8 s. • simple • automatic standby TC =0.5 s. TD =0.2 s. • Drawbacks • tripping too long in A, in event of fault at this level Phase-to-phase fault

  31. - Current discrimination • Principle: “current” Source • The further the fault from the source, the weaker the fault current IscBmax • Advantages Section A • Each relay monitors its section • Simple, inexpensive and fast • Drawbacks Section B • No « standby » protection Condition IsA > IscBmax IsA > IscAmin

  32. - Logic discrimination • Principle: “ … ” • A (blue) additional network connects all the protection relays to allow exchanges and decisions as to « which relay is concerned ». Source • Advantages • Avoids over long tripping times • Tripping time not dependent on number of protection devices Logic wait • Standby system • Drawbacks • An additional wiring network is required Phase-to-phase fault Additional wiring

  33. Cable Cable Vref. Busbar - Discrimination by directional protection • Principle: “directional” • Measures flow direction • Network in loop on 2 sources • Advantages • Preserves 1 out of the 2 power supplies in event of fault in 1 • Simple solution • Drawback • The cost of the voltage transformers

  34. - Discrimination by differential protection • Principle: "differential" Source • IA = IB ? • Tripping on a difference! • Advantages • Sensitive Section • Instantaneous Protected area • Drawbacks • Cost • Implementation • Standby to provide

  35. - In short, discrimination is ... • 1 … time • Discrimination applies to • I phase • 2 … current • Io earth • 3 … logic • 4 … direction • Global discrimination and redundancy • Mix discrimination types • 5 … difference • 6 ? • 6 Discrimination combination
