Single-phase ground fault is the most common type of injury in electrical networks of the middle class voltage (up to 85-90% of the total number of violations of normal operation of networks depending on their destination and a design). They give rise to surges, damage to insulation and in most cases they develop in the phase to phase short-circuit or multi-seat breakdown of insulation from the group a faulty electrical equipment, accompanied by large-scale damage of equipments

                                                                                Topicality

To date, there are large number of both directed and undirected protection against phase-to-earth [1], but they are not reliable enough and in many cases triggered falsely. Therefore, in this paper is to build protection for the more selective and more sensitive than a defense based on the relay type ssh-1 and RTS-51.

Of the multiple studies in the system's own needs TPP can be concluded that due to varying distance load is connected to 6 kV buses, as well as various cable laying feeder earth fault currents in all feeders are very different from each other. However, they are usually very low values, and the total ground fault current rarely reaches the 10 A. Because of all this, there is the complexity of configuration settings of protection and hence the sensitivity of the established protections do not always reach the minimally acceptable value.

From the statistics obtained at Zuevskaya TPS, which are installed on the engine fault on the ground working to disconnect the damaged connection, it is known that the closure of the land on the feeder with a small capacitive current on their own land, except for a damaged connection disconnected feeder with the highest current circuit on the ground, indicating that non-selectivity of protection installed on the relay type RTZ-51.

With regard to the direction of protection relay ssh-1, which react to the direction of power, then [2] it is known that in many cases off the damaged connection with the phenomenon Ferro resonance data relay false trigger due to loss of focus.

Based on the foregoing, the task of developing a more sensitive and selective protection from phase-to-ground fault is considered to be relevant.

 

                                                            Aims and objectives. Alleged scientific.

                                                               Research objectives

                                                         Alleged practical value


The results of this study can be used to increase the sensitivity and selectivity of protection against phase-to-ground fault in any system with isolated neutral. Especially effective protection in a system with a small current circuit to earth.

                            Review of existing methods for solving the problem

To ensure high reliability and selectivity of the tasks and the technical result achieved by the fact that the protection device of earth fault in a network with isolated neutral, which contains the zero sequence current transformers on the quantities of linear connections, to the output of which parallel connected voltage limiters and intermediate transformers with bridge rectifier, the outputs are connected to the inputs of RC-circuit and connected to a dc amplifier, the outputs of the past combined with the executive relays, diodes and the first dividing by the number of connections, the source of the residual voltage, which is connected to the output voltage relay with time delay, the source reverse voltage, and resistor, with Klema connection between the neutral network and the ground. This device also has a changeover contact relay executive at the amplifier input dc moving contacts are through the opener voltage relay with time delay connected to the plus pole of the polarity of the voltage blocking, locking the fixed contacts are connected to the plus pole of the reverse voltage sources directly, but NC still contact through the appropriate separation diodes - to the condensers of these RC-circuits, in addition imposed on the number of accessions current-limiting resistors in series with dividing diodes, amplifiers, dc instant action and normally open contacts in series in the chain of input signals of each of the reacting bodies of the device.  

Common features with the prototype are listed in a limited part of the formula. These include: zero sequence current transformers by the number of linear connections, voltage limiters and intermediate bridge rectifier transformers, RC-circuit, DC amplifiers, executive relays, diodes dividing by the number of connections, the source voltage zero-sequence voltage relay with time delay zastiryvayuschego source voltage, and resistor, also in quantity of accessions changeover contact relay executive at the input DC voltage mobile relay with time delay, lock the fixed contacts and break the fixed contacts through that scheme are included through appropriate розділювальні Diodes - Capacitors for these RC-circuits.  

Important distinguishing features of the claimed device earth fault protection with well-known features provide obtaining a technical result, such as: increased and improved reliability and selectivity of protection against earth fault.

The drawing shows a schematic diagram of security device earth fault for two accessions.  

The device has the transformers 1 and 2 to the current zero-sequence (TTNP), measuring bodies made in the form of RC-circuit and operational amplifiers 3 and 4 DC intermediate relays 5 and 6 at the outlet, which also serve as the executive body, connected to the transformer current 1 and 2 through rectifiers 7 and 8, intermediate transformers 9 and 10, the source of 11 residual voltage connected to its output relay 12 residual voltage with time delay, isolating diodes 13 and 14, 15 and 16 limit the voltage.

In addition, the device has a high resistance resistor 17, which is included among the neutral network (for example, the zero point of the winding of high voltage transformer substation own needs) and the land that creates additional active ground fault current equal in magnitude to 50-100% of the capacitive current of the metal closure in the network (but not less than 3-4A); power supply 18, which is also the source of reverse voltage, as well as tipping contacts 19 and 20. Advanced imposed resistors 21 and 22, which included series with the diodes 13 and 14, and normally open contacts 22 and 23 which are guided by amplifiers 24 and 25.

It works this way.

In normal mode, with no reduction of insulation resistance of one phase relative to the ground below normal, that is, to a state single-phase circuit, the relay 12 is not triggered. Relay contacts 5, 6 and 12 are in the initial state, the capacitors through the closed relay contacts 5, 6 and 12, diodes 13 and 14 charged from the power supply voltage 18, which closes transistor amplifiers 3 and 4 of the DC relay 5 and 6 remain deenergized, contacts 22 and 23 are open.

In a single-phase ground fault through resistance, whose values are within range of protection, the relay 12 and time delay opens its contact trigger elements 24 and 25, snap contacts 22 and 23, thus providing the same conditions recharge capacitor "C" despite the introduction of the scheme of current-limiting resistors 21 and 22, capacitors RC-chains are beginning to be recharged from TTNP 1 and 2 through the intermediate transformers 9 and 10, rectifiers 7 and 8, and the faster, more zero current line. Upon reaching the capacitor required level of building the relay 5 (with confirmation of line 1), a signal to switch off the corresponding circuit breaker, and exchanged contact 19 provides switching power 18 reverse voltage so that the capacitors on the RC-circuits of all other accessions resumes reverse voltage, and firing the executive relay other accessions did not occur.

After switching off the damaged line, the circuit returns to its original state. Needed for selective operation of this unit is the difference between the amplitude values of zero sequence currents in the damaged and undamaged accessions, provides grounding network via high-resistance resistor 17. Thus the invention provides a stable setting alarm relay executive in blocks of all accessions, and also has a high enough pomehooshibkoustoychivosti, selectivity and reliability.

The use of this device improves the reliability of electricity consumers and improve the safe operation of personnel during the operation of electrical distribution networks.

A large number of papers [3,4,5] on this subject offer connecting phase, with the greatest value of the voltage relative to earth with the earth through the first resistance, simultaneously linking phase with the lowest value of the voltage relative to the ground with the ground through a second resistance, measure the leakage current to earth, phase voltage and determine the insulation resistance of the network from the ground and compare it to an acceptable value and if it is less than the allowable, then form a signal to turn off the damaged part of the network, record the value of insulation resistance at certain times, for it determines the future value of insulation resistance, compared to with a valid value, and if it is less than allowable, then form an information signal the approach of a possible accident, and each newly recorded value of insulation resistance is used in the subsequent calculation of future values of insulation resistance and determine the residual life of insulation.

However, this method of protection from ground fault considerably difficult to implement and requires replacement of basic equipment such as relays. Besides the description of these inventions are not considered false positives if you disable the other accessions.

                     The method used in the master's work

The method is to increase the selectivity and sensitivity of anti-single-phase ground fault by installed equipment, with a defense of more selective and sensitive than those discussed above.

The principle of protection is based on the magnetization of zero sequence current transformers [6], consisting of two identical cores in each of which is wound with two windings, so you can do the detuning of the current imbalance and increase the sensitivity factor on the damaged accession by strengthening the core of the magnetic flux produced by current in primary winding is connected to the flow created by the residual voltage winding bias.

The drawback of the prototype device is the possibility of false positives when disconnecting circuit damaged accession because of overcharging occurring between a tank.

The purpose of the invention is to increase the selectivity and sensitivity towards the protection of single-phase earth fault.


                                                                          Conclusion

1. The causes of non-selective earth fault protection in networks of their own needs TPP with isolated neutral and selected areas to improve security in which the basis adopted by the overcurrent protection with directional bias of the core current transformer zero-sequence with an additional winding connected to a voltage transformer. 

 

2. Testing of protection on the computer and physical model confirmed the correctness of the principles of protection devices are phase-to-earth.
