This document summarizes a presentation on protection coordination given by Serge Beauzile to the Florida Electric Cooperatives Association. The presentation covered distribution circuit protection including fuse coordination, transmission line protection including distance and pilot protection schemes, and current differential protection. It discussed concepts such as the art and science of system protection, coordinating devices using time-current curves, and the goals of coordination including sensitivity, speed, security and selectivity. Specific protection devices and schemes were examined including expulsion fuse coordination, microprocessor relays, and fuse blow versus fuse save strategies.

Timing of device operation is verified using time
Timing of device operation is verified using time-
current characteristics or TCCs – device
response curves plotted on log-log graph paper.
Devices have inverse TCCs. They operate quickly for
large magnitude overcurrents, and more slowly

– Minimizes momentary interruptions and increases SAIDI
Minimizes momentary interruptions and increases SAIDI.
Improves power quality but decreases reliability.
• Fuse Save
• Fuse Save
– Minimizes customer interruption time by attempting to
open the breaker or recloser faster than it takes to melt the
fuse

– This saves the fuse and allows a simple momentary
interruption.

Zone 1 Reach = 0.8 * (35.11 83.97˚) Ω primary Zone 1 Reach = 28.09 83.97˚) Ω primary
Z 2 R h 1 2 * (35 11 83 97˚) Ω i Z 2 R h 42 13 83 97˚) Ω i
Zone 2 Reach = 1.2 * (35.11 83.97˚) Ω primary
Check Zone 2 reach does not overreach = Circuit 2 Impedance + (Zone 1 of Circuit 3) or (Zone 1of Circuit 6).
General rule = protected Circuit Impedance + Zone 1 of the Shortest Circuit past the protected circuit.
Zone 2 Reach = 42.13 83.97˚) Ω primary

Check for Zone 2 Overreach = 35.11. + (0.8 * 17.56) = 49.16 Ω primary
Zone 2 Reach = 42.13 < 49.16 no overreach
Zone 4 Reach = 52.55 83.35˚) Ω primary
Zone 4 Reach = (35.11 83.97˚) + (17.56 83.72˚) ( Ω primary)

77. Overcurrent Supervision Setting Criteria
1) Find the lowest Ø – Ø fault seen by relay 3
for a remote end bus (4 10 5 11)
Set above (maximum load) and 60% of min fault.
Zone 1 Phase Fault detector:
for a remote end bus (4, 10, 5, 11).
Zone 2 Phase Fault detector:
Set above (maximum load) and 60% of min fault.
1) Find the lowest Ø – Ø fault seen by relay 3
for a remote end bus (6, 12).
( , )
Zone 4 Fault detector same as Zone 2
Repeat same process for Ground Fault detector.
