    Bus Differential Protection

    The key factors in designing bus differential protection are properly sizing current transformers to be identical in ratio and ability to transform currents uniformly. The current transformers must be able to develop a voltage that is twice the terminal voltage calculated at the differential relay with the worst fault current. This knee point voltage must be greater than or equal to two times the terminal voltage. The current transformers also must be connected with the proper polarity.

    BUS DIFFERENTIAL PROTECTION The most important factor to consider in the design of a Bus Differential Protection is the proper

    sizing of current transformers. These current transformers must be identical not only in their current ratio, but also most importantly, in their ability to uniformly transform all levels of line currents. The current transformers must be able to develop a voltage that is twice as the terminal voltage (Vs) calculated at the Differential Relay (87B) terminal on the occurrence of worst fault current. That is, the Knee-Point Voltage of a current transformer must be equal to or greater than 2Vs. Another important factor is the proper connection of the current transformers with regard to polarity.

    Example of application: Design the Bus Differential Protection for the system shown below.

    DS

    T1 12 MVA 69/13.8 kV 8 %Z

    DS

    T2 12 MVA 69/13.8 kV 8 %Z

    13.8 kV

    13.8 kV

    SOLUTION: Assume that the farthest CT is 20 meters away from the 87B and that the wire used has 9.45 / Km . Then calculate the maximum through-fault current on that CT.

    1. Solve for IF3


    IF3 = 2 = 12.55kA 0.08 13800 3 12 10 6

    2. Solve for Vs and Check for Vk

    Is =

    12 10 6 13800 3

    = 502 Amp

    Try : 600/5 CT, Model 780, C100, RCT = 0.193 ohm RL = 9.45 / Km RLT = 2[9.45 / Km x 0.02 Km] = 0.378 VS = IF3 as viewed at the secondary of CT [RLT + RCT ]
    12550 [0.378 + 0.193] = 59.7volts = 600 5

    Vk 2VS > 2(59.7) 119.45 volts Model 780 is not suitable because the required Vk is 119.45 volts while the CT can only deliver 100 volts.

    Try : 600/5 CT, Model 785, C200, RCT = 0.349 ohm VS = IF3 as viewed at the secondary of CT [RLT + RCT ]
    12550 [ 0.378 + 0.349] = 76volts = 600 5

    Vk 2VS 2(76) 152 volts Model 785, C200 is suitable because the required Vk is only 152 volts while the CT can deliver 200 volts without saturation.
