METHODS OF OBTAINING
SELECTIVITY
The most positive selective relaying
system is the differential type, wherein
relay operation is obtained when there
is a difference between current entering
and leaving a protected element. This
system of relaying requires a pilot
channel or interconnecting circuitry
between the terminals of the protected
element which can be used in making
the current comparisons.
Where a pilot channel is not available, selectivity can be obtained by a
graded time-overcurrent relay system.
Briefly described, this system uses current and time settings so that the relays
intended for protecting the faulted element operate before the relays located
upstream or closer to the source operate.
Directional relays may be used in combination with the overcurrent relays to
prevent operation except in one predetermined direction of power flow.
Where the maximum current that can
be fed over a sound element is exceeded
by the current which will flow into that
element when it is (itself) short circuited, instantaneous overcurrent relays
can be used to supplement the timeovercurrent relays, thus minimizing
tripping time. The instantaneous relays
should be set above the maximum
through-fault current.
Where an element embraces appreciable impedance such as open line
wires, distance relays may be used to
obtain selectivity. The characteristic of
these relays is such that they respond
to an indicated impedance or component of the impedance such as reactance.
This ohmic indication can be used to
permit relay operation only when a
fault occurs in the element which the
relay is protecting.

INCOMING-LINE RELAYING
Single line Operation
Many industrial systems are fed from
utilities through a single incoming line.
Further, it is not uncommon for the
utility to supply power at a voltage level
which is suitable for either direct use or
distribution by the industrial. Minimum
relaying for these single incoming circuits consists of three time-overcurrent
relays. Usually, two of the relays are
arranged to monitor the phase currents,
with the third relay monitoring ground
currents. In addition, the phase units
may also include high-set instantaneous
elements. Figure la shows such an arrangement. Operation of the relays,
Devices 50/51 and 5lGS. should trip
circuit breaker, Device 52. (For switchgear device function number see reference No. 1.)
Where the voltage of the utility supply is at a level that is unsuitable for
the industrial system, a transformer
must be included in the utility interconnection. Figures lb and Ic show two
such typical arrangements.

Figure 3 shows a typical arrangement
where transformers with fused primaries
are provided between the industrial and
utility systems. Devices 50/51, 67, and
67N provide protection as outlined in
connection with Figure 2. The inclusion
of directional instantaneous overcurrent
as a part of Device 67 improves transformer protection. By setting these relays to operate on bus-feed transformer
fault currents which are above the currents that can flow for faults out on the
utility system, high-speed tripping for
the more serious transformer failures
can be secured without sacrificing COordination. Devices 51G( )A and 51G

seldom considered necessary. The addition of the primary circuit breakers provides a means of readily isolating either
transformer from both the utility and
industrial system. The use of transformer differential protection (Devices
87T and 86T) should therefore seriously
be considered for transformers rated
5000 kva and above. As discussed previously in connection with Figure lc, Device 87L provides high-speed tripping
for faults on utility lines.

Generator Circuits
Protection for generator circuits is
covered by Figure 9. The voltage-restrained overcurrent relays, Device 51V,
provide system back-up protection.
Where the generator is operated in
parallel with other sources, they also
provide protection for the generator.
Ground protection is provided by either
Device 51G or 50GS. If the system is
grounded at some point other than the
generator-neutral instantaneous-ground
relay, Device 50GS should be included.
It will provide sensitive high-speed
ground-fault protection for the generator. In the event the system is grounded
at the generator neutral, relay Device
51G should be furnished. This relay is
of the time-delay type and will provide
system back-up as well as generator
ground-fault protection. Device 5lG
will be slower operating than 50GS.
Anti-motoring protection, Device 32,
should be provided for all machines except hydro-generators and those steamturbine generators which are provided

above 5 percent of the machine rating,
the Type ICW relay should be used.
Motoring losses below 5 percent would
require the Type GGP relay. Two types
of relays are available for use as Device 40 to detect loss of excitation. The
simplest type is the IC2820Al00 undercurrent relay. It would be connected in
series with the generator field and would
operate wherever current ceases to flow.
The relay should be provided with a
short time delay to ride through momentary interruptions of current flow
which sometimes occur due to short
circuits on the system. The relay would

during starting. When the motor is at
standstill, the frequency of these induced currents is system frequency and
the tripping time of the relay is short.
As the motor rotates and comes up to
speed, the frequency drops, increasing
the tripping time. Such an arrangement
automatically compensates for the additional motor operating time which is
permissible as a result of the cooling
effect produced by rotation of the rotor.
