DESCRIPTION DESCRIPTION The BUS1000 is a high-speed static protection system aimed at detecting phase to phase and to ground faults in buses at high voltage substations. The main unit is an overcurrent three phase differential relay with percentage restraint and stabilization resistors.
Page 9
Auxiliary voltage: 110 Vcc. Correlative numbers Because of the great variety of options and configurations in the BUS1000 systems, a complete list of the models is not included in this document. The specific information corresponding to the customer's model is provided with the chosen equipment.

The current transformers are an integral part of the whole protection system and their characteristics are an important factor for the correct operation of the protection. Their physical locations mark the limits of the protection zone covered by the protection system. GEK-98514B BUS1000 Busbar Protection...

With these values the equation is reduced to: − ≥ For an internal fault I , so: ≥ − 1 /( From this equation we obtain the relay's sensitivity in amperes for the different values of K. GEK-98514B BUS1000 Busbar Protection...
Page 16
In the same way, when the K restraint percent value increases, a greater differential current is allowed without providing a trip in the unit since V will increase. BUS1000 Busbar Protection GEK-98514B...

APPLICATION APPLICATION APPLICATION The BUS1000 system has been designed for bus protection in high voltage substations from 30 KV to 500 KV. Its main characteristics are: • Short operation time , especially where fault levels are high, in order to minimise damage to the switchgear and assist system stability.

Housing in separate 19-inch racks or in complete cabinets. 4.2. CALCULATION OF SETTINGS For a correct application of the BUS1000 protection system and selection of its adjustments, the following points must be considered: 4.2.1. MAIN CURRENT TRANSFORMERS The BUS1000 system does not require the use of dedicated current transformers for bus differential protection.

5.1. CABINETS BUS1000 systems are provided in complete cabinets. They are made up of standard 19 inches wide and four units high racks, fully wired to connecting blocks placed in the back. Connections between the different cases are achieved only from their connecting blocks.
Page 26
5.2. PANEL MOUNTED RACKS The racks provided separately for the installation of BUS1000 board mounted systems are standard, 19 inches wide and their dimensions are shown in figure 22. The external connections are provided in terminal blocks mounted in the rear part of the rack.

The various configurations available in a bus protection system are carried out combining the number of modular components requested in order to obtain the whole of the desired functions and the number of input and output circuits requested. The BUS1000 is a flexible and modular system made up of the components described below.
