Solution Manual To Chapter 03 PDF

The document summarizes the operation of an electromagnetic relay and differential relay under different fault conditions. 1) An overcurrent relay is analyzed with a CT ratio of 100/1, induction motor load of 90A, relay rating of 1A and fault current of 550A. The plug setting is determined to be 100% of the relay rating and the operating time is calculated as 0.4052 seconds. 2) A differential relay operation is analyzed for a high resistance ground fault near the generator neutral. With load, the fault current is below the differential relay settings so it will not trip. Without load, the fault current exceeds the differential relay settings so it will trip.

24. A percentage differential relay employed in the protective scheme of Fig. 2.43 has a minimum pick-up of 0.05 A
and 10% slope. A high resistance ground fault has occurred near the grounded neutral end of the generator
winding while the generator is carrying load. The resulting current magnitudes are given in Fig. 2.43. Assuming
that the CTs have 400/1 amp ratio and no inaccuracies, will the relay trip the breaker under this condition?
Would the relay operate at the given value of the fault current if the generator were carrying no load with the
breaker open?
When the generator is carrying load,
I1 = 400 amp
I2 = 375 amp
\ If = (I1 – I2) = 25 amp

Fig. 2.43

The currents reproduced in secondary of 400/1 amp C.T. are


i1 = 1 amp
i2 = 0.9375 amp
\ i1 - i2 = 0.0625 amp
This is more than basic setting of 0.05 amp.
Pick-up ratio,
(i1 – i2)
_______
(i1 + i2)/2 [ 0.0625
]
= _______ × 100 = 6.45%
0.96875
This is less than bias setting of 10%. Therefore, biased differential relay will not operate.
When breaker is off,
I1 = If = 25 amp
and I2 = 0
\ Secondary equivalents are,
i1 = 0.0625 amp
i2 = 0 amp
\ (i1 – i2) = 0.0625 amp, which is higher than basic setting.
(i1 – i2)
[
0.0625 – 0
and, _______ = ________ × 100 = 200%
(i1 + i2)/2 0.0625/2 ]
This is more than bias setting. Hence biased differential relay will operate under this condition.
