  • DC Protection and control circuits

Substation DC Systems

  • Purpose for DC systems in substations
  • Batteries, different types and comparison
  • Battery capacity, battery installation
  • Battery chargers
  • Trip circuits
  • Close circuits
  • DC circuit monitoring

Voltage Transformers

  • Electro-magnetic Voltage Transformers (EMVT)
  • Capacitive Coupled Voltage Transformers (CCVT)
  • VT accuracy

Current Transformers

  • Types of current transformers
  • CT ratios & polarity
  • CT accuracy, burden, and saturation
  • Shorting CT secondary circuits
  • Open-circuit CT voltage and safety considerations
  • CT magnetization
  • CT Connection in ring bus / breaker & a half schemes

Protective Relay Types

  • Dependability, security, selectivity, speed
  • IEEE device numbers
  • Electromechanical, Electronic, & Microprocessor
  • History, Comparison of types

Transformer Protection

  • Fuses - Good for small transformers, difficulties coordinating with downstream devices
  • Overcurrent – simplicity but limited mainly as backup protection
  • Differential – single & multiple slope, harmonic inrush restraint
  • Delta-wye transformer connection considerations
  • Sudden Pressure & Bucholz relays
  • Voltage controller (90)

 

DAY TWO

Bus Protection

  • Bus differential
  • Bus configurations and CT connections

  • Transmission circuits, reclosing considerations

Underfrequency Load Shedding

Generation Protection

  • Stator grounding, high resistance or low resistance
  • Stator protection, generally differential
  • Accidental energization - generator acts as a motor and produces high current in the rotor
  • Start-up protection
