GE Multilin D60 Line Distance Protection System 8-15
8 THEORY OF OPERATION 8.2 PHASE DISTANCE APPLIED TO POWER TRANSFORMERS
8
If applied at location H, the relay sees the following input signals:
The relay is set as follows:
XFMR VOL CONNECTION = “Dy11”
XFMR CUR CONNECTION = “Dy11”
Consequently, the following signals are applied to the phase AB distance element:
(EQ 8.1)
(EQ 8.2)
This results in the following apparent impedance:
(EQ 8.3)
The above value is a correct measure of the distance from the VT location to the fault. For relay location 2, this certainly
includes the positive-sequence impedance of the transformer:
(EQ 8.4)
Thus, 0.127 90° + 0.05779 85° = 0.1847 88.4° primary side or 2.569 88.4° on the secondary side.
The above example illustrates how the relay maintains correct reach for fault behind power transformers. When installed at
X, the relay shall be set to 0.687 85° secondary in order to reach to the fault shown in the figure. When installed at H,
the relay shall be set to 2.569 88.4° to ensure exactly same coverage.
See Chapter 9: Application of Settings for more information on setting calculations.
