    摘要: A system for high-impedance differential protection for power systems using a variety of signals from the power system. A fault may be detected using filtered phase current or filtered phase voltage magnitudes from current transformers (CTs) connected in parallel by phase. A fault may be detected using filtered phase voltages and raw phase voltages from the CTs. A fault may be detected using raw phase currents and raw phase voltages from the CTs. A fault may be detected using filtered phase currents and raw phase currents. A fault may be detected using raw phase currents and raw neutral currents. The embodiments herein maintain dependability and security of a differential element even when low-class CTs are used. The embodiments herein may allow users to optimize pickup settings even when low-class CTs are used.

    摘要: A system and method for determining when an electronic interrupting device will open in response to detecting overcurrent, where the interrupting device protects a transformer in a power distribution network. The method includes obtaining a time/current through fault protection curve that is defined by a plurality of time/current points for the transformer that identifies when the transformer may experience thermal or mechanical damage in response to a certain current flow over a certain time in the transformer windings, selecting a time multiplier, and determining an operating curve for the interrupting device by multiplying the multiplier and a time portion of each of the plurality of time/current points on the through fault protection curve, where the operating curve identifies when the interrupting device will open in response to a certain current flow over a certain time.

    摘要: Disclosed are systems and methods to determine an overexcitation condition on electric power delivery system equipment that includes a magnetizing core. Overexcitation conditions are determined even during sub-synchronous resonance, ferro-resonance, and other complex events. Power system voltage is integrated and normalized to determine a flux on the magnetizing core. The flux is compared with a protection model to determine the overexcitation condition on the magnetizing core. Once an overexcitation condition is detected, a protective action may be taken to remove power from the effected power delivery system equipment.

    摘要: An apparatus for detecting disconnection of a secondary side of a current transformer includes a sampling circuit coupled to the secondary side of the current transformer that samples signals from the secondary side of the current transformer. A pull-up circuit is switchably coupled to the sampling circuit in response to a coupling signal in a diagnostic phase. A processor is coupled to the sampling circuit for receiving sampled signals from the sampling circuit. The processor extracts corresponding signal information from the sampled signals and stores the extracted signal information in a memory. The extracted signal information corresponds to statuses that the secondary side of the current transformer is connected or disconnected to a load. A detector is coupled to the processor and the memory, and accesses the memory using the signal information of the sampled signals.

    摘要: A frequency-conversion differential protection method for an output transformer of a static frequency convertor system. The method comprises: a protection device measuring a three-phase current at each side of an output transformer of an SFC system; according to the connection manner of the output transformer, using a triangle side as a reference to conduct phase correction on a star side; at the same time, taking into account different secondary rated currents at each side of the transformer to adjust a balance coefficient of each side, so as to form sampling values of a correcting current and a differential current at each side, and using a startup and shut-down protection algorithm free from frequency influence in generator protection to calculate amplitude values of the correcting current, the differential current and a restraint current; and according to the magnitudes of the differential current and the restraint current, using the ratio restraint differential characteristic to achieve the frequency-conversion ratio differential protection of the output transformer. The present protection method is suitable for large-scale frequency change. Compared with the current quick-breaking protection, the sensitivity of internal failure detection in the output transformer is greatly improved.
