EE4503Electrical Systems Design Protective Devices and Protective Devices Cooordination
Topics • LV protective systems • Protective Devices • Protective Devices Coordination
Low Voltage Protective Systems • Fully Rated Protective System • Selective Protective System • Cascade Protective System
Protective SystemsFully Rated Protective System • All devices are able to withstand the maximum short circuit current. (Interrupting Capacity) • Highest Cost • No need to prioritize the devices
Protective SystemsFully Rated Protective System Electrical Systems Design: ประสิทธิ์ พิทยพัฒน์ • If short circuit at F2 is 30kA and F1 is 10kA • A, B, C: • D, E, F:
Protective SystemsSelective Protective System • All devices are able to withstand the maximum short circuit current. (Interrupting Capacity) • Tripping Characteristic Curve of each devices are “selected” in the way that the device that is closer to the fault trips first.
Protective SystemsSelective Protective System Electrical Systems Design: ประสิทธิ์ พิทยพัฒน์ • A, B, C: • D, E, F: • There are two kinds • Fully • Partially
Protective SystemsFully Selective Protective System Electrical Systems Design: ประสิทธิ์ พิทยพัฒน์ • The selectivity is on the full range of short current. • A & B are selective more than
Protective SystemsPartially Selective Protective System Electrical Systems Design: ประสิทธิ์ พิทยพัฒน์ • The selectivity is only on a certain range of short current. • A & B are selective up to
Protective SystemsCascade Protective System • The upstream device has the faster tripping rate at the high current than the lower one. • The upstream device is able to withstand the maximum short circuit current while the downstream is lower capacity. • In case of high current short circuit the upstream handle the breaking function.
Protective Devices Coordination • Overlay the plot of tripping curve of each protective devices • In general, no crossing of tripping curve • Lower current (downstream devices) branch will be tripped faster. • Higher current (upstream devices) branch will be tripped slower.
