Application

Long transmission lines often transfer great quantities of electric power from
generation to consumption areas. The unbalance of the produced and consumed
electric power at each end of the transmission line is very large. This means that a
fault on the line can easily endanger the stability of a complete system.
The transient stability of a power system depends mostly on three parameters (at
constant amount of transmitted electric power):
• The type of the fault. Three-phase faults are the most dangerous, because no
power can be transmitted through the fault point during fault conditions.
• The magnitude of the fault current. A high fault current indicates that the
decrease of transmitted power is high.
• The total fault clearing time. The phase angles between the EMFs of the
generators on both sides of the transmission line increase over the permitted
stability limits if the total fault clearing time, which consists of the protection
operating time and the breaker opening time, is too long.
The fault current on long transmission lines depends mostly on the fault position
and decreases with the distance from the generation point. For this reason the
protection must operate very quickly for faults very close to the generation (and
relay) point, for which very high fault currents are characteristic.
The instantaneous phase overcurrent protection PHPIOC can operate in 10 ms for
faults characterized by very high currents.
