Pilots

Pilots isolation
Pilot isolation transformers are required when any longitudinally induced voltage
in the pilot circuit is likely to exceed 5kV: in effect this means when protecting
feeders operating at voltages in excess of 33kV, unless these are short in length.
The use of pilot isolation transformers also extends the acceptable range of pilots.
This is achieved by the matching ratios available as shown in Table 4.

Pilots
KM 0.8 1.0 1.2 1.5 2.5 Matching ratio

Where KM = (turns rotation)2 for respective tap of pilot isolation transformers.

When pilot isolation transformers are not used KM = 1.

15
 Rp
The optimum value for KM is the nearest value in Table 4, where Rp is the
1000
measured pilot loop resistance.
There are two types of pilot isolation transformers: ZC0244-002 for schemes
without pilot supervision: HN0068-001 for schemes with pilot supervision.
The latter includes the injection filter for the pilot supervision circuit.
1 R
The pilot padding resistor (Rpp) at each end should be set to: 1000 – p
2 KM
Pilot voltage
The voltage applied across the pilots varies with fault current as shown in
Figure 12. For normal through load conditions the peak pilot voltage will be in
the order of 50V rising to a maximum of: 200V for MBCI 01, 80V for MBCI 02
under fault conditions.
When pilot isolation transformers are used this value of voltage is multiplied
by √ KM.
Note: Types MBCI 01 and 02 are not compatible. Relays should be of the same
type at either end.

Pilot current
The pilot current is typically 30mA for normal through load conditions and rises
to a maximum of 300mA under through fault conditions.

Line charging current

In applications pertaining to cables, with or without in zone shunt reactors, and
overhead lines, it is necessary for the most sensitive fault setting to be increased
to:
● 1.1 times the steady state line charging current for solidly earthed systems
● 3.2 times the steady state line charging current for resistance earthed systems
● 1.9 times the steady state line charging current for resistance earthed systems
with one relay per phase
In all cases, allowance should be made for some system overvoltage.
This requirement ensures stability during external ground faults which will cause
the three phase capacitance currents to be unequal, resulting in an increased
output from the summation transformer.
The high frequency line in-rush currents can be neglected because the setting of
the relay automatically increases at high frequencies by a factor:
Inrush frequency
Rated system frequency

Overcurrent starter/check element settings

The maximum resetting value of the overcurrent elements is not less than 90% of
the operating value. Thus, to ensure that they will reset when the current is
restored to the full load level, the setting should be at least 1.2 times the
maximum anticipated through load current.
The setting of the earth fault elements should be at least 1.2 times any standing
zero sequence current and not higher than 80% of the minimum earth fault
current.
The value chosen as an assessment of minimum earth fault current must be
conservative, due allowance being made for all aspects of minimum system
operating conditions and fault impedance; alternatively, a larger tolerance
below the nominal minimum fault current value is advisable.

Unit Protection of Plain Feeders

Fault settings for plain feeders
The input transformer has a summation ratio of 1.25:1:N where N = 3 for
normal use. N = 6 is used where low earth fault settings are needed.
The minimum operating current will therefore be dependent on the phase or

16
phases involved in the fault. The minimum earth fault current (Ιf) should be greater
than twice the least sensitive earth fault setting to ensure rapid fault clearance.
The range setting of fault settings is shown in Table 5.

Table 5

The minimum operating current of the relay will be increased by any shunt
impedance connected across the pilot wires, for example, pilot capacitance and
the magnetising path of the pilot isolation transformers. The effect of the pilot
capacitance is shown in Figure 12.
Values of Ks from 0.5 to 1.0 are provided to achieve effective fault setting equal
to the nominal value indicated in Table 5. This is achieved by single end injection
tests during commissioning. Values of Ks from 1.0 to 2.0 are used to increase the
setting when the application demands. Refer to section: Line Charging current.

Minimum operation for earth faults with through load

Bias being a direct function of through current, increases minimum operating
current with through load. Figure 14 shows the minimum earth fault current
required for various levels of through load.
The curves shown are for the first relay to trip. The second relay will trip
sequentially provided the resulting in-feed at that end is above the setting value.
To ensure that simultaneous tripping will occur the minimum fault current should
be greater than twice the minimum operating current given in Figure 14.

It is not necessary for the line current transformers at the two ends of the
protected system to have the same knee point voltage. Differences of up to 4:1
can be tolerated provided both are above the minimum value. However, the
three line current transformers at any one end should have similar magnetising
characteristics.

17
 Magnetising current:
In order that the minimum effective operating current of the relay remains low, it
is necessary to apply a limit to the value of the magnetising current demanded
by the line current transformers:
10
IM ≤ 0.05 In at V
In
Mesh type switchgear arrangements
The relay may be fed by parallel connected current transformers as shown in
Figure 15. It is essential to balance the lead resistance in the circulating
secondary current path to ensure stability for a through busbar fault. Connecting
the current transformers as shown in Figure 15 will result in the required balance
being obtained. It is essential that the current transformers at the same end
should have similar magnetising characteristics. The value of RCT to be used in
calculations should be the resistance of one current transformer plus the
resistance of one lead between the two parallel connected current transformers.
The value of RL should be the resistance of a single lead from the common
connection of the current transformers to the relay.
Methods of reducing the current transformer requirements:
In general the larger the current transformer the better the overall performance.
However, when current transformer size is critical the following notes should
prove helpful.
● The operation time varies with fault current as shown in Figure 16. Stability is
maintained with smaller current transformers if the value of Kt is reduced. This
will of course result in the operation time increasing, typical operation times
being:
Kt 40 20 14 6 3
Time at 5x setting 30 50 65 90 300 (ms)
● Kt= 20 will suit most current transformers on distribution systems
Kt = 40 is the preferred setting for EHV systems where high speed operation
is required
● It should be noted that the knee point requirement increases with the nominal
current rating Ιn. Advantage is therefore obtained by using a low value of
rated current eg. 1A or even 0.5A.
● Wires may be connected in parallel to reduce the lead resistant (RL ) and
hence the current transformer requirements.
● If the relay is fed from delta connected line current transformer then N = 1.
● If one relay is used per phase then assume N = 1

Stabilising resistance
VK 12
Rs = Ω but not greater than Ω
40 In In2
Note: This resistor is not required for single phase protection or when Translay S
is fed from delta connected current transformers.
Additional requirements:
● It is a stability requirement that the relays at both ends have the same value of
N & Kt selected.
● It is preferred, although not absolutely essential, that the equipment at the two
line ends have the same rated current Ιn.

Small in-zone teed loads

Small three phase loads may be connected to the feeder within the protected
zone; normally these will be supplied by a delta/star transformer connected to
the line through HRC fuses. Substantial faults on this circuit will cause the fuses to
blow very quickly before the differential relay can operate. The limiting
condition is a value of fault current which will just produce an A-C phase setting

18
current in the relay: this current must cause the fuse to operate quickly enough to
discriminate. Most fusing time curves show pre-arcing time and some allowance
must be made for the arcing period.
To accommodate the largest teed load, use may be made of the Ks (setting
multiplier) adjustment, and/or selection of a value of Kt corresponding to a lower
operating speed.
The particulars tabulated below for teed loads connected to a fused 11kV feeder
may be helpful as a general example.
Feeder 11kV 300A rating
Tee Transformer rating(kVA) Fuse rating (A) Ks Kt
300 20 1 40
400 25 1.7 40
400 25 1.5 6
500 30 1.75 3
Table 6
The table above refers to individual teed loads. When smaller loads are connected
at separate locations, on the basis that only one will be subject to a fault at any
instant, the aggregate load may be greater. For example twelve 100kVA
transformers each protected by 10A fuses could be connected to the above line,
with main protection settings Ks = 1 and Kt = 40. Similarly for ten 300kVA
transformers each protected by 20A fuses, relay settings Ks = 2.0 and Kt = 20
would be suitable. In general the aggregate tee-off load should not exceed 0.25Ks x
current transformer rating.

Maximum induced pilot loop voltage

Ideally the pilot cores should be wormed (twisted together) so that the induced loop
voltage is kept to a minimum. The required level of this voltage to cause operation
varies with the setting multiplier Ks as shown in Figure 17.

Unit Protection of Transformer feeders

Fault Setting
The relay internal summation is identical to that used for plain feeders but the turns
ratio used is 2.25:6. This is connected as shown in Figure 18 and will result in
secondary settings as given in the table below:
Relay setting in amps = Ks x Ιn constant in table below

Where Ks = setting multiplier which may be adjusted between
0.5 and 2.0

NB. The Figures quoted in this table are those to be expected under
conditions of secondary injection testing
Note 1: As shown in Figure 18 there is a restricted earth fault relay in the
neutral of the star connected CTs on the delta side of the power
transformer. This provides protection against earth faults on the delta
side of the power transformer when the infeed is into the delta. It will
provide settings lower than any of the phase to neutral settings given
above.
Note 2: The MBCI relay, when used in the transformer feed application, does
not require a stabilising resistor.

 Line Current Transformer Requirements for Transformer Feeders:

provided the following CT requirements are satisfied (Kt = 14):

will give operating times less than 160ms and assured through fault stability (Kt = 6):

RCT = resistance of CT secondary winding (Ω)
RL = resistance of a single lead from the CT’s to the relay (Ω)
Note 1: Operating times are quoted at 5x rated current.
Note 2: The above equations for through fault stability are applicable for up to
20% CT mismatch.
Note 3: In normal applications, to ensure the fast operation of the MFAC, the knee
point voltage Vk must be greater than twice the voltage setting Vs of the
MFAC relay. However, when used with the MBCI/MCTH relay
combination, lower knee point voltage, down to Vs, may be used provided
operating times up to the scheme operating time of 80ms are accepted.

Where Vs = setting of MFAC (V)

If = maximum through fault current referred to CT secondary for
which stability is required (A-rms)
In = rated currency of relay (A)
RCT = resistance of secondary winding (Ω)
RL = resistance of a single lead from the CT’s to the relay (Ω)

The effective primary operating circuit (Ιop) of the MFAC 14 is given by:
Iop = n(IR + NIIu)
Where IR = relay operating current and metrosil current at setting voltage
(see MFAC publication)
Iu = current transformer magnetising current at setting voltage (A)
Nl = number of connected current transformers
n = current transformer turns ratio
The following notes on this application are also important:
– A setting of 14 is recommended for Kt to ensure sufficient time for inrush blocking.
Tripping for internal faults will then occur (typically) within
60-80 ms.
– The N = 6 setting on the MBCI relay must be used to achieve increased sensitivity.
– Where the CT lead resistance is a predominant part of the CT burden at one, or
both, line ends then the use of 1A line CT’s is recommended. The selected rating
of current transformers must be the same as the relays (MBCI and MCTH) which
they supply.
– Additional conductors may be connected in parallel in order to reduce the lead
resistance (RL) and, hence, the current transformer requirements.
– The pilot resistance should not exceed 700Ω.

20
 – With 15kV pilots, the MCTH output contacts should be connected on the relay
side of the isolating transformer to terminate numbers 17 and 18 of the MBCI
relay.
– The MCTH overcurrent settings for each phase, set by 3 front-mounted
potentiometers (one per phase), should be set at least 50% above the
maximum possible load current.
– The steady state magnetising current must not exceed the three phase fault
setting of the MCBI relay. For a Ks = 1 setting, the three phase fault setting is
14% of rated current. If the transformer is likely to be subjected to overfluxing,
with the corresponding increase in steady state magnetising current, then the
three phase setting must be permanently set above this higher magnetising
current by increasing Ks.
