3. INTRODUCTION
The concept of symmetrical
components for enhancing
protection scheme by providing a
practical technology for
understanding and analyzing
power system operation during
unbalanced condition. 3
4. PROTECTION SYSTEM
What is need of protective system ?
In order to maintain steady state of
power system by taking correct and
quick remedial action during any faulty
condition.
Properties of a good protective system
Automatic
Quick
Minimum amount of disruption 4
5. SYMMETRICAL COMPONENT
Unbalanced systems are difficult to handle.
It provide balanced analysis of an unbalanced
system
The unbalanced three phase system can be
transformed into three balanced phasors
Positive Sequence
Negative Sequence
Zero Sequence
5
6. POSITIVE PHASE SEQUENCE
Each have the same magnitude.
Each positive sequence voltage or
current quantity is displaced 120°
from one another.
The positive sequence quantities
have a-b-c, counter clock-wise,
phase rotation.
6
7. NEGATIVE PHASE SEQUENCE
Each have the same magnitude.
Each negative sequence voltage
or current quantity is displaced 120°
from one another.
The negative sequence quantities
have a-c-b, counter clock-wise,
phase rotation.
7
8. ZERO PHASE SEQUENCE
Each zero sequence quantity has the same magnitude.
All three phasor with no angular
displacement between them, all in phase.

FAULT
o General Causes of fault
Fault due to lightning
Tree limbs falling on the line
Wind damage
Effects of fault
Flow of excessive current
Abnormal voltages
Induces over voltages on neighbouring
equipments.
Hazards to human, equipment and animals
10. TYPES OF FAULTS
• Balanced Faults :
– Three-phase fault
• Unbalanced Faults :
– Single line to ground fault
– Line to line fault
– Double line to ground fault
10
12. SINGLE LINE TO GROUND FAULT
The most common type of fault is the single line to
ground fault:
12
13. 13
The SLG fault can be described by the following
voltage and current relationship:
Ib=0 & Ic=0
Va=IaZf
The Sequence current can be given as:
14. LINE TO LINE FAULT
It occurs when two conductors are short circuited.
There is no zero sequence component due to
absence of ground return path.
The positive and negative sequence components
are connected in parallel.
14
15. DOUBLE LINE TO GROUND FAULT
In double line to ground fault two line conductors
come in contact with each other and ground .
The networks are connected in parallel.
For the zero sequence component it requires to add
an external impedance of Zf+3Zg

16. OVER CURRENT RELAY
Short-circuit currents are generally several times (5
to 20) full load current. Hence fast fault clearance is
always desirable on short circuits.
A relay that operates or picks up when it’s current
exceeds a predetermined value (setting value) is
called Over current Relay.
Over current includes short-circuit protection, and
short circuits can be:
Phase faults
Earth faults
Winding faults

17. TYPES OF OVER CURRENT RELAY
I. Instantaneous Over current (Definite Current)
Relay
II. Definite Time Over current Relay
III. Inverse Time Over current Relay (IDMT
Relay)
i. Moderately Inverse
ii. Very Inverse Time
iii. Extremely Inverse
IV. Directional over current Relay

18. ALGORITHM
The criterion function for discriminating fault from
non fault switching is defined as follows :
R= |I1|-|I2| / |I1|+|I2|
18
20. RESULTS
Several non faults events are applied to
this system along with some short circuit
events a different time.
The discrimination of fault from a non
fault event could be done by representing
two cases
Transformer energizing
Fault
20
21. TRANSFORMER ENERGIZING
Various inrush current condition were simulated.
Various parameters which have considerable effect
on the characteristic of the current signal were
changed and was analysed.
FAULT
In this case a single line to ground fault occurs.
21
24. CONCLUSION
Simple method of improving over current relays
operation by algorithm, based on different
behaviour of the current amplitudes. Based on
the differences, a criterion function R is defined
such that undesirable operation of the over
current relays to the switching is prevented.
