    Code of Practice For Power System Protection

    Uploaded by

    R.EASWARAN
    The document provides guidelines for wiring circuitry in power system protection. It specifies that wiring should be permanent and clearly identified. Copper leads should be used for current transformer secondary circuits and potential transformer secondary circuits for protection. Terminations should use ring lugs to avoid slippage. Current transformer secondary terminations require two nuts, one spring washer and two flat washers. Direct current and alternating current supplies should use separate cables. Standard color codes are provided for different size wires serving various purposes.

    Code of practice for power system protection

    01. The entire wiring of circuitry for indications, alarms, metering and protection should be
    permanent wiring.

    02. The leads should be marked and identified by ferrules near terminals.

    03. Every lead should end at a terminal point and no junction by twisting is allowed.

    04. The wiring should be by copper leads for CT secondary for all cores i.e. metering cores as
    well as protection cores and for PT secondary for protection core.

    05. The wiring should be by copper leads. The copper lead for above should be stranded but
    not single lead type.

    06. Aluminium leads can be used for indication, alarms and PT secondary for metering but
    stranded wires only are to be used. But copper leads are always preferable for these said
    purposes.

    07. The terminations should be lugged by ring shape O lugs. U shape lugs should be
    avoided since U shape lugs may slip if terminal is loosened.

    08. For CT Secondary terminations, two nuts with one spring washer and two flat washers to
    be compulsorily used.

    09. The CT terminal strips should be stud type with nuts and not screw-in-type.

    10. Wherever two sets of batteries are available, the primary protection and back-up
    protection should be from different batteries.

    11. Where there is only one battery at an Electrical Power Substation, the primary and back-
    up protections should be given D.C supply through two individual circuits with independent
    fuses run from D.C bus.

    12. When CBs have two trip coils, both main protection and backup protection will energize
    both the trip coils.

    13. D.C and A.C supplies should not be taken through different cores of the same cable.
    Totally different cables should be used for DC and AC supplies.

    14. Independent D.C cables should be run to each equipment in the yard and looping of D.C.
    supply from one equipment to other is not permitted.

    15. The D.C. emergency lighting in substation should be through independent cables and not
    mixed up with protection and other circuitry.

    16. Standard colour codes for wires in control circuit of different sizes should be as follows:

    PURPOSE SIZE COLOR


    Indication, Alarm, trip, close etc 1.5 mm2 Gray
    2
    Red Phase Metering PT Circuit 1.5 mm Red
    2
    Yellow Phase Metering PT Circuit 1.5 mm Yellow
    Blue Phase Metering PT Circuit 1.5 mm2 Blue
    2
    Red Phase Protection PT Circuit 2.5 mm Red
    2
    Yellow Phase Protection PT Circuit 2.5 mm Yellow
    2
    Blue Phase Protection PT Circuit 2.5 mm Blue
    2
    Red Phase Metering and Protection CT Circuit 2.5 mm Red
    Yellow Phase Metering and Protection CT Circuit 2.5 mm2 Yellow
    2
    Blue Phase Metering and Protection CT Circuit 2.5 mm Blue
    2
    Phase for auxiliary AC supply 2.5 mm Red
    Neutral for auxiliary AC supply 2.5 mm2 Black
    2
    Common star point of CTs 2.5 mm Black
    2
    Common star point of Protection PTs 2.5 mm Black
    2
    Common star point of Metering PTs 2.5 mm Black
    2
    Earthing Connection 2.5 mm Green

    17. The lead numbers are also standardized as follows so that anyone can easily identify the
    purpose for which the lead is connected:

    ALPHABET SERIES PURPOSE EXAMPLE


    J Series D.C. Incoming J1, J2, etc.
    K Series Control Closing, Tripping, etc. K1, K2, K3 etc.
    L Series Alarms, indications and annunciations L1, L2, L3, etc.
    M Series Motor Circuit M1, M2, etc.
    E Series Potential transformer secondary E1, E2, E3, etc.
    H Series LT A.C. Supply H1, H2, H3, etc.
    A Series C.T. secondary for special protection A1, A2, A3, etc.
    B Series Bus bar protection B1, B2, B3, etc.
    C Series Protection Circuits C1, C2, C3, etc.
    D Series Metering Circuit D1, D2, D3, etc.

    18. The CT ratios available and adopted with number of cores shall be displayed on each
    panel as follows: 400 200 100 / 1-1-1.

    19. Wherever CT cores are not used SHORTING LOOPS should be provided in CT secondary
    terminals and not in marshalling boxes or at panels.

    20. The Cable entries in the equipment, marshalling boxes and panels should be through
    appropriate size of cable glands. No other means are allowed.

    21. Standard lead numbers used in control circuit of protection of power system:

    Certain lead numbers are standardized as follows and should be compulsorily adopted with
    ferrules at terminations of leads.

    Main DC Positive supply J1

    Main DC Negative supply J2

    DC Positive bus inside panel K1

    DC Negative bus inside panel K2

    Metering CT secondaries D11, D31, D51, D71 etc.

    Protection CT secondaries C11, C31, C51, C71 etc.

    Special Protection CT secondaries A11, A31, A51, A71 etc.

    PT secondaries E11, E31, E51, E71 etc.
