Without Busbar Protection

F2F1

There are fewer faults on busbars than on other parts of the power system. No risk of dislocation of system due to accidental operation of busbar protection.

Argues

Without Busbar Protection

F2F1

Slow fault clearance.Busbar faults at F1 and F2 are cleared by remote time delayed protection on circuits feeding the faults:

Time Delayed Overcurrent orTime Delayed Distance Protection

Drawbacks

With Busbar Protection

BUSBARZONE

F1

Fast clearance by breakers at the busbars

BUSBARZONE

F2F1

Where busbars are sectionalised,Protection can limit the amount of system

disruption for a busbar fault

Busbar Faults Are Usually Permanent

Causes of Busbar Faults :

Falling debris

Insulation failuresCircuit breaker failuresCurrent transformer failuresIsolators switchs operated on load or outside their ratingsSafety earths left connected

Therefore :

Circuit breakers should be tripped and locked out by busbar protection

08/0205/02/0312 12

Busbar Protection must be :

RELIABLE– Failure to trip could cause widespread damage to the substation

STABLE– False tripping can cause widespread interruption of supplies to

customers / possible power system instability

DISCRIMINATING– Should trip the minimum number of breakers to clear the fault

FAST– To limit damage and possible power system instability

Can detect only earth faults

Switchgear must be insulated from earth (by standing on concrete plinth)

Only one single earth conductor allowed on switchgear

All cable glands must be insulated

Switchgear sections must be insulated

Main CT must be identical

Current switching via auxilliary relay is not acceptable.

Requirement of number of position contact (Disconnector switch) is high

Interposing CT are not acceptable
