There are three main aspects of power system protection: normal operation, prevention of electrical failures, and mitigation of failure effects. Protective relaying is one feature aimed at minimizing equipment damage and service interruptions when failures occur. Relays have evolved from electromechanical to static and digital types. Overcurrent protection is used for phase and earth faults, with inverse-time curves allowing coordination between relays. Adequate grading margins must be provided between relay operations.
The following topics are covered: components of power distribution systems, fuses, padmounted transformers, pole mounted transformers, vault installed transformers, transformer stations protection, transformer connections, thermometers, pressure relief devices, restricted ground faults, differential protection current transformers connections, overexcitation, inrush current, percentage differential relays, gas relays, characteristics of CTs.

Practical Arc Flash Protection for Electrical Safety ProfessionalsLiving Online
Electrical safety is an important issue for those working on electrical facilities in utility networks and large industrial installations. A number of serious accidents including fatalities occur every year due to accidents involving electricity resulting in huge financial losses and wasted man-hours. Arc flashes in electrical equipment are now considered one of the major causes of electrical accidents even surpassing the well known hazards of electric shock. Avoiding arc flash incidents and the resulting injuries is one of major challenges today facing electrical workers and requires adequate attention in the stages of system planning, design, installation, operation and maintenance.
Injuries due to arc flash can depend on many factors, one of which is the incident thermal energy on a worker exposed to a flash. Today, a considerable body of knowledge exists as a result of research efforts and is available to designers and maintenance engineers in the form of standards such as IEEE 1584 and NFPA 70E. This workshop will detail the basis of this approach and also about the major advances that have been made in the area of PPE made of FR fabrics and rated for different levels of thermal exposure.
Prevention however still remains the best form of protection and switchgear manufacturers have made considerable design advances to ensure that the effect of arc flash incidents is contained within the enclosure of switchgear (often called arc flash resistant switchgear) and methods of testing such switchgear have also evolved simultaneously. Another important factor is the approach to avoid arc incidents within the switchgear by proper design and maintenance and techniques to reduce the severity of the flash should such incidents occur.
These would form the key focus areas of this workshop.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

3. There are three aspects of a power system
These aspects are as follows:
A. Normal operation
B. Prevention of electrical failure.
C. Mitigation of the effects of electrical failure.
4. Normal Operation
The term normal operation assumes no failures of equipment, no mistakes of
personnel, nor Acts of God. It involves the minimum requirements for supplying
the existing load and a certain amount of anticipated future load.
A. Choice between hydro, steam, or other sources of power.
B. Location of generating stations.
C. Transmission of power to the load.
D. Study of the load characteristics and planning for its future growth.
E. Metering
F. Voltage and frequency regulation.
G. System operation.
E. Normal maintenance
5. Outages
Electrical equipment failures would cause intolerable outages.
There must be additional provisions to minimize damage to
equipment and interruptions to the service when failures occur.
Two recourses are open:
(1) to incorporate features of design aimed at preventing
failures, and
(2) to include provisions for mitigating the effects of failure
when it occurs
6. Prevention of Electrical Failure
The type of electrical failure that causes greatest concern is the short
circuit, or “fault” as it is usually called, but there are other abnormal
operating conditions peculiar to certain elements of the system that
also require attention. Some of the features of design and operation
aimed at preventing electrical failure are:
A. Provision of adequate insulation.
B. Coordination of insulation strength with the capabilities of lightning arresters.
C. Use of overhead ground wires and low tower-footing resistance.
D. Design for mechanical strength to reduce exposure, and to minimize the likelihood
of failure causable by animals, birds, insects, dirt, etc.
E. Proper operation and maintenance practices .
7. Design And Operation For Mitigating The
Effects Of Failure
Some of the features of design and operation for mitigating the effects of failure are:
A. Features that mitigate the immediate effects of an electrical failure.
1. Design to limit the magnitude of short-circuit current.1
a. By avoiding too large concentrations of generating capacity.
b. By using current-limiting impedance.
2. Design to withstand mechanical stresses and heating owing to short-circuit currents.
3. Time-delay under-voltage devices on circuit breakers to prevent dropping loads
during momentary voltage dips.
4. Ground-fault neutralizers (Petersen coils).
B. Features for promptly disconnecting the faulty element.
1. Protective relaying.
2. Circuit breakers with sufficient interrupting capacity.
3. Fuses.
C. Features that mitigate the loss of the faulty element.
1. Alternate circuits.
2. Reserve generator and transformer capacity.
3. Automatic reclosing.
8. Protective Relaying
Thus, protective relaying is one of several features of system design
concerned with minimizing damage to equipment and interruptions to
service when electrical failures occur.
When we say that relays “protect,” we mean that, together with other
equipment, the relays help to minimize damage and improve service.
Therefore, the capabilities and the application requirements of
protective-relaying equipments should be considered
concurrently with the other features.
9. Protection Technology
The
last thirty years have seen enormous
changes in relay technology.
The electromechanical relay in all of its
different forms has been replaced
successively by static, digital and numerical
relays
10. ELECTROMECHANICAL RELAYS
The mechanical force is generated through current
flow in one or more windings on a magnetic core or
cores, hence the term electromechanical relay
The principle advantage of such relays is that
–
–
they provide galvanic isolation between the inputs and
outputs in a simple, cheap and reliable form
therefore for simple on/off switching functions where the
output contacts have to carry substantial currents, they are
still used.
11. Philosophy of over Current Protection
Over
current protection is directed entirely to
the clearance of faults, although with the
settings usually adopted some measure of
overload protection may be obtained.
12. Attracted Armature Relays
These generally
consist of an ironcored electromagnet that attracts a
hinged armature when
energized.
A restoring force is
provided by means of
a spring or gravity so
that the armature will
return to its original
position when the
electromagnet is deenergized.
13. Typical attracted armature relays
The contacts can be
made quite robust and
hence able to make,
carry and break
relatively large
currents under quite
onerous conditions
(highly inductive
circuits).
This is still a significant
advantage of this type
of relay that ensures
its continued use.
18. Induction Cup Unit
• These two structures
are shown in Fig
• They most closely
resemble an induction
motor, except that the
rotor iron is stationary,
• Only the rotorconductor portion
being free to rotate.
20. The data required for a relay
setting study
i. A single-line diagram of the power system involved, showing the
type and rating of the protection devices and their associated
current transformers
ii. The impedances in ohms, per cent or per unit, of all power
transformers, rotating machine and feeder circuits
iii. The maximum and minimum values of short circuit currents
that are expected to flow through each protection device
iv. The maximum load current through protection devices
v. The starting current requirements of motors and the starting and
locked rotor/stalling times of induction motors
vi. The transformer inrush, thermal withstand and damage
characteristics
vii. Decrement curves showing the rate of decay of the fault current
supplied by the generators
viii.Performance curves of the current transformers.
26. Fault withstand levels
• The typical duration of external short circuits that a transformer
can sustain without damage if the current is limited only by the
self-reactance is shown in Table
• Maximum mechanical stress on windings occurs during the first
cycle of the fault.
• Avoidance of damage is a matter of transformer design.
27. Over current and Earth Fault Relay
•
•
•
•
Starting current
103 - 110% of current setting.
Closing current
130% of current setting.
Resetting current
The maximum current up to which
the disc will completely reset is 90%
of current setting.
Time settings
0 - 3s at 10 times current setting.
0 - 1.3s at 10 times current setting.
•
•
Resetting time
With the time multiplier set at 1.0 the
resetting times of the above are 9s and 4s
respectively.
Overshoot
On removal of a current equal to 20 times
current setting the overshoot times of the
above are 0.065s and 0.04s respectively.

41. Grading Margin
The time interval that must be allowed between the
operation of two adjacent relays in order to achieve
correct discrimination between them is called the
grading margin.
The grading margin depends on a number of factors:
i. the fault current interrupting time of the circuit
breaker
ii. relay timing errors
iii. the overshoot time of the relay
iv. CT errors
v. final margin on completion of operation
42. Grading Margin
At one time 0.5s was a normal grading
margin. With faster modern circuit
breakers and a lower relay overshoot time,
0.4s is reasonable, while under the best
conditions even lower intervals may be
practical.
