C.T Dimensioning

PART I - Current Transformers Dimensioning [IEC 60044 – 1] Definitions : Current transformer An instrument transformer in which the secondary current, in normal conditions of use, is i s substantially proportional to the primary current and differs in phase from it by an angle which is approximately zero for an appropriate direction of the connections Current error (ratio error) The error which a transformer introduces into the measurement of a current and which arises from the fact that the actual transformation ratio is not equal to the rated transformation ratio. Current Error : is the ratio of the exciting current, which supplies the eddy current and hysteresis losses and magnetizes the core to the Primary Current. This current flows in the primary winding only and therefore, is the cause of the transformer errors. Generally expressed as a percentage of the r.m.s value of the primary current and is given by the formula:

CurrentError% 

where Kn Ip Is

is the rated transformation ratio; is the actual primary current; is the actual secondary current when Ip is flowing, under th e conditions of measurement.

Phase displacement The difference in phase between the primary and secondary current vectors, the direction of the vectors being so chosen that the angle is zero for a perfect transformer. The phase displacement is said to be positive when the secondary current v ector leads the primary current vector. It is usually expressed in minutes or centiradians. NOTE This definition is strictly correct for sinusoidal currents only. Accuracy Limit Factor (ALF )  Kssc : The Ratio of the rated Accuracy Limit Primary Current ( Max. Fault Current ) to the rated Primary Current .A current transformer is designed to m aintain its ratio within specified limits up to a certain value of primary current, expressed as a multiple of its rated primary current. This multiple is known as the current transformer’s rated accuracy accu racy limit factor (ALF). Dimensioning factor (Kx) : A factor assigned by the purchaser to indicate the multiple of rated secondary current (Isn) occurring under power system fault conditions, conditions, inclusive of safety factors, up to which the transformer is required to meet performance requirements" Composite error Under steady-state conditions, the r.m.s. value of the difference between: a) the instantaneous values of the primary current; and b) the instantaneous values of the actual secondary current multiplied by the rated transformation ratio, the positive signs of the primary and secondary currents corresponding to the convention for terminal markings The composite error Ec is generally expressed as a percentage of the r.m.s. values of the primary current according to the formula: Prepared by : Mohammad Subhi Abdel -–Halim Senior Substation Design Engineer PBME – AMMAN Office / JORDAN

PART I - Current Transformers Dimensioning [IEC 60044 – 1] Current transformers according to IEC 60044-1 class PX, IEC 60044-6 class TPS (and old British Standard, class X) : CTs according to these classes are specified approximately in the same way by a rated knee-point e.m.f. Eknee (Ek or Vk) for class PX, E kneeBS for class X and the limiting secondary voltage Ual for TPS). The value of the Eknee is lower than the corresponding Eal according to IEC 60044-6. It is not possible to give a general relation between the Eknee and the Eal but normally the Eknee is approximately approximately 80% of of the Eal. Therefore, the CTs according to class PX, X and TPS must have a rated knee-point e.m.f. Eknee that fulfills the follow f ollowing: ing: E knee knee  E k k  E kneeBS kneeBS  U al > 0.8 .

Class X or PX CTs are mostly used for high impedance circulating current protection which requires high Equivalent Secondary e.m.f (E) .This can be economically achieved with Class X or PX which is of Low Leakage Reactance and can have a High magnetizing Current at Vk . Three factors will influence the emf “E”. It’s the number of secondary turns “N”, the core area “A” and the induction in Wb/m2 “B”.

The induction is dependent of the core material, which influences the size of the magnetizing current. For a certain application the secondary turns and the core area are t hus selected to give the required emf output. C.T – AS 60044 – 1 Class PX The rated knee point e.m.f. is generally determined as follows: E K K ( V K K ) = K X X . ( R ct ct + R b b ) . I sn Where , Ek = rated knee point emf . Kx = multiple of Isn at which C.T must perform satisfactorily Isn = rated secondary current . Rb = rated resistive burden . Rct = winding dc resistance at 75º C .

CT types: Generally, there are three different types of CTs from the Construction Point of view : • High remanence type CT • Low remanence type CT • Non remanence type CT 1) High remanence CTs – This is mostly commonly used . The high remanence type has no given limit for the remanent flux. The CT has a magnetic core without any air gaps and the remanent r emanent flux might remain for almost infinite time. time. The remanent flux can be up to 70-80% of the saturation saturation flux. Typical examples of high remanent type CTs are class P, PX, TPS, TPX according to IEC 60044 and non-gapped class C according to ANSI/IEEE. ANSI/IEEE. 2) Low remanence CTs The low remanence type has a specified limit for the remanent flux. The magnetic core is provided with small air gaps to reduce the remanent flux flux to a level level that does not exceed 10% 10% of the saturation flux. Examples are class TPY according to IEC 60044-6 and class PR according to IEC 60044-1. Prepared by : Mohammad Subhi Abdel -–Halim Senior Substation Design Engineer PBME – AMMAN Office / JORDAN

PART I - Current Transformers Dimensioning [IEC 60044 – 1] 3) Non remanence CTs The non remanence type CT has practically negligible level of remanent flux. The magnetic core has relatively large air gaps in order to reduce the secondary time constant of the CT (to lower the needed transient factor) which also reduces the remanent flux to practically zero level. An example is class TPZ according to IEC 60044-6. Types of C.T’s from the Function point of view are : The output required from a current transformer depends on the application and the type of load connected to it : 1. Measuring Current Transformers : Metering equipment or instruments, like KW, KVar, A instruments or KWh or KVArh meters, are measuring under normal load conditions. These metering cores require high accuracy, a low burden (output) and a low saturation voltage. They operate in the range of 5-120% of rated current according to accuracy classes 0.2 or 0.5 (IEC) or 0.3 or 0.6 (IEEE). In each current transformer a number of different cores can be combined. Normally one or two cores are specified for metering purposes and two to four cores for protection purposes. Metering cores : To protect the instruments and meters from being damaged by high currents during fault conditions, a metering core must be saturated typically between 5 and 20 times the rated current. Normally energy meters have the lowest withstand capability, typically 5 to 20 times rated current. The rated Instrument Security Factor (FS) indicates the overcurrent as a m ultiple of the rated current at which the metering core will saturate. It is thus limiting the secondary current to FS times the rated current. The safety of the metering equipment is greatest when the value of FS is small. Typical FS factors are 5 or 10. It is a maximum value and only valid at rated burden. A higher output from a core will also result in a bigger and more expensive core, especially for cores with high accuracy (class 0.2).Class 0.2 for Cores with billing values metering or Class 0.5 or 1 for measuring /instrumentation without billing or Class 3 or 5 for no accurate measuring . Example : in 0.2 SFS10 CT, 0.2 : Accuracy Class % current ratio error at % of rated current S : stands for sec. It means that the C.T shall withstand for 0.2 sec a Current equal to 20 times I max. with a relative tolerance of 0% - 10 % . 10 : Rated Burden . Accuracy Class 0.2 : has 0.2 % current error at 100 % - 120 % of the Rated Current . Accuracy Class 0.2S : means 0.2 % current error at 20 % - 120 % of the Rated Current . Same for Class 0.5 and 0.5S . This means the Class with S is more accurate . 2. Protection Current Transformers : For protection relays and disturbance recorders information about a primary disturbance must be transferred to the secondary side. Measurement at fault conditions in the overcurrent range requires lower accuracy, but a high capability to transform high fault currents to allow protection relays to measure and disconnect the f ault. Typical relay classes are 5P, 10P or TP (IEC) or C 100-800 (IEEE). Protection Cores : 5P/10P are commonly used for Over Current/ Earth Fault, and Class PX CT Class PX is the definition in IEC 60044-1 formerly covered by class X of BS 3938 type CTs are used for high impedance circulating current protection and are also suitable f or most other protection schemes. We will elaborate only on the most commonly used Classes P & PX . For further details for the choice of C.T class for transient performance TPS , TPX , TPY & TPZ , please refer to the IEC 60044 – 6 . Class PX protective current transformer : A transformer of low leakage reactance f or which knowledge of the transformer secondary excitation characteristic, secondary winding resistance, secondary burden resistance and turns ratio is sufficient to assess its performance in relation to the protective relay system with which it is to be used.

PART I - Current Transformers Dimensioning [IEC 60044 – 1] Class P current transformers Are defined so that, at rated frequency and with rated burden connected, the current error, phase displacement and composite error shall not exceed the values given in the table below : Accuracy Class

Current Error at Rated Primary Current

5P 10P

±1% ±3%

Composite Error at Rated Accuracy Limit Primary Current 5% 10%

The primary difference is that the measuring current transformer(FS) is required to retain a specified accuracy over the normal range of load currents, whereas the protective current transformer (5P , PX ) must be capable of providing an adequate output over a wide range of fault conditions, from a fraction of full load to many times full load. CT – Measuring vs Protection :





Measuring CT Under over current, the CT should limit the secondary current to avoid thermal overload of the connected equipment At rated burden (cos= 0.8) and rated security factor, the composite error should be>10%

Protection CT In case of over current, the CT should maintain the secondary current within the rated limit to enable proper protection operation At rated burden (cos= 0.8) and rated accuracy limit factor the composite error should be < 5% or 10%

Current transformers according to ANSI/IEEE Current transformers according to ANSI/IEEE are partly specified in different ways. A rated secondary terminal voltage UANSI is specified for a CT of class C. UANSI is the secondary terminal voltage the CT will deliver to a standard burden at 20 times rated secondary current without exceeding 10 % ratio correction. There are a number of standardized UANSI values e.g. UANSI is 400 V for a C400 CT. A corresponding rated equivalent limiting secondary e.m.f. EalANSI can be estimated as follows:

E alANSI  20  I sn  RCT  U ANSI  20  I sn  RCT  20  I sn  Z bANSI where ZbANSI : The impedance (i.e. complex quantity) of the standard ANSI burden for the specific C class (). UANSI : The rated secondary terminal voltage for the specific C class (V). The C.Ts according to class C must have a calculated rated equivalent limiting secondary e.m.f. EalANSI that fulfills the following:

E alANSI  Maximum of E alreq A C.T according to ANSI/IEEE is also specified by the knee-point voltage UkneeANSI that is graphically defined from an excitation curve. The knee-point voltage UkneeANSI normally has a lower value than the knee-point e.m.f. according to IEC and BS. UkneeANSI can approximately be estimated to 75 % of the corresponding Eal according to IEC 60044-6. Therefore, the CTs according to ANSI/IEEE must have a knee-point voltage UkneeANSI that fulfills the following: Prepared by : Mohammad Subhi Abdel -–Halim Senior Substation Design Engineer PBME – AMMAN Office / JORDAN

The applicable class for protection is class "C", which specifies a non air-gapped core. The CT design is identical to IEC class P but the rating is specified differently. The IEEE C class standard voltage rating required will be lower than an IEC knee-point voltage. This is because the IEEE voltage rating is defined in terms of useful output voltage at the terminals of the CT, whereas the IEC knee-point voltage includes the voltage drop across the internal resistance of the CT secondary winding added to the useful output.. Where IEEE standards are used to specify CTs, the C class voltage rating can be checked to determine the equivalent knee-point voltage (Vk) according to IEC. The equivalence formula is:



In general , there is no single rule/equation to apply for the C.T sizing calculations specially for the calculation of the Knee Point Voltage ( Vk ) f or Feeder Protection , Transformer differential & Restricted E/F protection .Since every protection relays manufacturer has his own recommendation and C.T requirements which shall be met and must be submitted by the contractors and must be followed .



Some clients require the calculations to be based on the corrected VA and not the rated VA of the C.T where a margin of 25 % shall be taken into account for rated VA calculations for 5P class cores for the Rated Knee Point Voltage and Operating ALF conversions as per the following formulas which will give accurate dimensioning which we will follow in our examples :

Also , some clients specify two Main Protections from different manufacturers for each type of protection on the 400 KV and 132 KV Substations . In our calculated examples , we will elaborate on the different protection relays which are most commonly used for each circuit on the 132 KV system (cable feeder , OHL , Transformer & Bus coupler / Section ) which will cover both ( One Protection or Two Protection schemes ).

The CT saturation is directly affected by the voltage at the CT secondary terminals. This voltage is developed in a loop containing the conductors and the relay burden. For threephase faults, the neutral current is zero, and only the phase conductor and relay phase

burden have to be considered. For earth faults in solidly earthed systems it is important to consider the loop containing both the phase and the neutral conductors. In most cases the CT requirements are based on the maximum fault current for faults in different positions. Maximum fault current will occur for three-phase faults or in some cases for single-phase-to-earth faults. The current for a single phase-to-earth fault will exceed the current for a three-phase fault when the zero sequence impedance in the total f ault loop is less than the positive sequence impedance. This can be the case in solidly earthed systems and therefore both fault types have to be considered. If the fault current contains a DC-component there is a considerable risk that the CTs will saturate. In most cases the CTs will have some remanence, which can increase the saturation rate of the CTs. If a CT has been saturated the secondary current will not recover until the DC-component in the primary fault current has subsided. This can cause a delay in the relay operation. Depending on the design of the relay and to consider a certain amount of DC-component, a factor has been used in the Rated Knee Point Voltage calculation Equation . This safety factor gives a satisfactory operation. The following sample calculations will assist you in quick reviewing and approximate verification of the different contractors submittals as a minimum requirement to be met for the C.T sizing calculations , the calculations will be based on the most commonly used 132/11 KV substations with 2000 A bus bar , 40 KA which is applicable for all Voltage levels and both the Outdoor AIS Switchgear or Indoor GIS where the different data and C.T ratio if any to be considered , 4 mm² as a lead conductors will be used in the calculations , types of the protection relays used in the calculations are only examples for different C.T requirements as per the different Manufacturer recommendations .

Since , the operating accuracy limiting factor KOALF=120.4/100.52 being higher than the required accuracy limiting factor 26.6/40 for CT ratios 1500/1000/1 A , the proposed 5P20, 22.5/15VA current transformer is adequate The O/C & E/F protection functions are mostly incorporated in the Bay Control Unit ( BCU ) or the Pilot Wire Differential Protection along with the Breaker Failure function . However , the same procedure to be followed for the loose relays if used. If the proposed BCU incorporate other protection functions such as Breaker Failure where as per the manufacturer recommendation that the CTs must have a rated equivalent secondary e.m.f. Eal that is larger than or equal to the required secondary e.m.f. Ealreq which must be verified also . 3. Bus Bar Protection : This is a form of bus bar protection using either unbiased high input impedance relays or biased low impedance relays. Differential protection uses the principal of Kirchhoff’s first law to sum the current from the CTs covering the protected zone. The relay detects the summation current and will trip the associated breakers if it indicates a fault within the zone. It shall be verified with all circuits connected to the Bus Bar Protection . 1.

Bus Bar Protection - Low Impedance :

Protection must have a low burden to enable it to be installed in series with other equipment on common secondary cores of the current transformers. It has to allow the use of different class and type of CTs made by different manufacturers. In particular, it will have to be able to accept mixes of plant, satisfying different standards (e.g. British Standard 3938: Class X, IEC 185: Class 5P20, IEC 44-6 Class TPX, TPY or TPZ).The protection has to be stable for all types of external faults and in particular under CT saturation conditions. This saturation has to be able to be detected in less than 2 ms. The differential bus bar protection has to implement also an effective protection against circuit breaker failures.

Bus Bar Protection - High Impedance :

High-impedance protection responds to an equivalent voltage across the relay. During external faults (with severe saturation of some of the CTs) the voltage does not rise above certain level. This is because the other CTs will provide a lower-impedance path as compared with the high relay input impedance. Traditionally high impedance schemes have provided greater stability during through faults. This type of protection requires all CTs must have the same transformation ratio, are class x and dedicated to the protection scheme. The current transformers used in high impedance circulating current differential protection systems must be equal turns ratio and have reasonably low secondary winding resistance. Current transformers

PART I - Current Transformers Dimensioning [IEC 60044 – 1] of similar magnetizing characteristic with low reactance construction such as IEC60044 Class PX, or similar, are preferred. The relay requirements are based upon a calculation of the required knee-point voltage with the IEC definition of the knee-point voltage . Example with (VA TECH – Reyrolle Siemens )DAD – N , 7SG12 High Impedance Relay : Typically applied to provide 3 – phase high impedance differential protection of busbar, connections, auto-transformers, reactors and motors. The stability of the high impedance scheme depends upon the operate voltage setting being greater than the maximum voltage which can appear across the relay under a given through fault condition. An external series stabilizing resistor and shunt non-linear resistor per phase complete the scheme. The series resistor value is determined by the voltage level required for stability and the value of relay current calculated to provide the required primary fault setting. Non-linear resistors protect the relay circuit from high over-voltages. C.T Data : CT Ratio Class of Accuracy CT Resistance Knee Point Voltage Magnetizing Current Burden of DAD-N Burden of CT Leads

Check zone needs separate CT cores



Isolator replica requires switching of CT secondaries , additional check zone obligatory. Pilot Wire Current Differential Protection :

CHARGING CURRENT COMPENSATION The basic premise for the operation of differential protection schemes in general is that the sum of the currents entering the protected zone is zero. In the case of a power system transmission line, that may not be entirely true because of the capacitive charging current of the line. For short overhead transmission lines, the charging current can be treated as a small unknown error. In that case, the error due to the line charging current is covered by the percentage restraint characteristic of the current differential scheme. For long transmission lines and cables, the charging current may be too large to treat as an unknown error. In that case, it is often necessary to desensitize the current differential protection to prevent mis-operations due to the line charging current which shall be considered in the Relay setting :

Reactor Protection : We will elaborate on the Reactor Differential Protection , Restricted Earth Fault (REF) and the Stand – by E/F protection which mostly will cover the Transformer Protection . Since , if separate back up Over – Current and E/F are used , the same previous dimensioning for the Feeder circuit is applicable : 1. Differential Protection : A differential relay, of high impedance type should be used as main protection. CT’s should be specified at both the phase and the neutral side of each phase and a three phase protection should be used as a three phase protection gives a higher sensitivity for internal faults. The general requirement on the function values of the high impedance differential protection is that at maximum through f ault current for an external faults the relay wont mal-operate even with one CT fully saturated. For a reactor the dimensioning criteria will be for the inrush current, since a reactor only will give a through fault current equal to rated current, at an external earth-fault. The maximum inrush current for a reactor is approximately two times the rated current. If no specific requirement concerning at what current the relay should be stable exists, five times the rated current is used when operating voltage is selected. The function value of the relay should be chosen: Prepared by : Mohammad Subhi Abdel -–Halim Senior Substation Design Engineer PBME – AMMAN Office / JORDAN

Restricted E/F Protection of 132 KV Reactor – HV Side and Neutral CT Cores :

Example : The relay type MICOM P122 , AREVA CT Ratio Class of Accuracy

150/1 A CLX

Introduction : The MICOM P122 restricted earth fault relay is a high impedance differential scheme which balances zero sequence current flowing in the transformer neutral against zero sequence current flowing in the transformer phase windings. Any unbalance for in-zone fault will result in an increasing voltage on the CT secondary and thus will activate the REF protection. This scheme is very sensitive and can then protect against low levels of fault current in resistance grounded systems where the earthing impedance and the fault voltage limit the fault current. In addition, this scheme can be used in a solidly grounded system. It provides a more sensitive protection, even though the overall differential scheme provides a protection for faults over most of the windings. The high impedance differential technique ensures that the impedance of the circuit is of sufficiently high impedance such that the differential voltage that may occur under external fault conditions is lower than the voltage required to drive setting current through the relay. This ensures stability against external f ault conditions and then the relay will operate only for faults occurring inside the protected zone. High impedance schemes are used in a differential configuration where one current transformer is completely saturated and the other CTs are healthy.

Choice of Measuring CT • For classes 0.1 – 1, the accuracy is based on a total connected burden between 25% to 100% of the rated burden • For classes 0.1, 0.2 and 0.2S with rated burden < 15VA, an extended range of burden can be specified (from 1VA to 100% of the rated burden) Dimensioning factor (Kx) : a factor assigned by the purchaser to indicate the multiple of rated secondary current (Isn) occurring under power system fault conditions, inclusive of safety factors, up to which the transformer is required to meet performance requirements".

For special measurement of fault current (transient current,) including both a.c. and d.c. components, IEC 60044-6 defines the accuracy classes TPX, TPY and TPZ. The cores must be designed according to the transient current: • TPX cores have no requirements for remanence flux and have no air gaps. • TPY cores have requirements for remanence flux and are provided with small air gaps. • TPZ cores have specific requirements for phase displacement and the air gaps will be large. Typical secondary time constants are for • TPX core 5 - 20 seconds (no air gaps) • TPY core 0.5 - 2 seconds (small air gaps) • TPZ core ~ 60 msec.

Use of composite error The numeric value of the composite error will never be less than the vector sum of the current error and the phase displacement (the latter being expressed in centiradians). Consequently, the composite error always indicates the highest possible value of current error or phase displacement. Prepared by : Mohammad Subhi Abdel -–Halim Senior Substation Design Engineer PBME – AMMAN Office / JORDAN

63

PART I - Current Transformers Dimensioning [IEC 60044 – 1] The current error is of particular interest in the operation of overcurrent relays, and the phase displacement in the operation of phase sensitive relays (e.g. directional relays). In the case of differential relays, it is the combination of the composite errors of the current transformers involved which must be considered. An additional advantage of a limitation of composite error is the resulting limitation of the harmonic content of the secondary current which is necessary for the correct operation of certain types of relays.

Annex – B : Metering Cores : At lower burdens than the rated burden, the saturation value increases approximately to n:

S n  R ct  I sn 2

n  F s 

S  R ct  I sn 2

where Sn = S Isn Rct

rated burden in VA = actual burden in VA = rated secondary current in A = internal resistance at 75ºC in ohm

To fulll high accuracy classes (e.g. class 0.2, IEC) the magnetizing current in the core must be kept at a low value. The consequence is a low ux density in the core. High accuracy and a low number of ampere-turns result in a high saturation factor (FS). To fulll high accuracy with low saturation factor the core is usually made of nickel alloyed steel. NOTE! The accuracy class will not be guaranteed for burdens above rated burden or below 25% of the rated burden (IEC). With modern meters and instruments with low consumption the total burden can be lower than 25% of the rated burden (see Figure 2.1). Due to turns correction and core material the error may increase at lower burdens. To fulll accuracy requirements the rated burden of the metering core shall thus be relatively well matched to the actual burden connected. The minimum error is typically at 75% of the rated burden. The best way to optimize the core regarding accuracy is consequently to specify a rated burden of 1.5 times the actual burden. It is also possible to connect an additional burden, a “dummy burden”, and in this way adapt the connected burden to the rated burden. However, this method is rather inconvenient. Annex – C : Shunt Reactors : Introduction : During normal operation of an electrical power system, the transmission and distribution voltages must be maintained within a small range, typically, from 0.95 to 1.05 pu of rated value. Due to the load variations, shunt reactors and capacitors have been applied in power systems to compensate excess Prepared by : Mohammad Subhi Abdel -–Halim Senior Substation Design Engineer PBME – AMMAN Office / JORDAN

64

PART I - Current Transformers Dimensioning [IEC 60044 – 1] reactive power (inductive for heavy load conditions, and capacitive for light load conditions). Shunt reactors are commonly used to compensate the capacitive reactive power of transmission and distribution systems and thereby to keep the operating voltages within admissible levels. Shunt reactors are used in high voltage systems to compensate for the capacitive generation of long overhead lines or extended cable networks. The reasons for using shunt reactors are mainly two: 1. to limit the over-voltages 2.

to limit the transfer of reactive power in the network.

If the reactive power transfer is minimized i. e. the reactive power is balanced in the different part of the networks, a higher level of active power can be transferred in the network. Reactors to limit overvoltages are most needed in weak power systems, i.e. when network short-circuit power is relatively low. Voltage increase in a system due to the capacitive generation is: U(%) 

Q c  100 S shc

where “Qc” is the capacitive input of reactive power to the network and “Sshc” is the short circuit power of the network. With increasing short circuit power of the network the voltage increase will be lower and the need of compensation to limit over-voltages will be less accentuated. Reactors to achieve reactive power balance in the different part of the network are most needed in heavy loaded networks where new lines cannot be built because of environmental reasons. Reactors for this purpose mostly are Thyristor controlled in order to adapt fast to the reactive power required. Especially in industrial areas with arc furnaces the reactive power demand is fluctuating between each half cycle. In such applications there are usually combinations of Thyristor controlled reactors (TCR) and Thyristor switched capacitor banks (TSC).These together makes it possible to both absorb, and generate reactive power according to the momentary demand. Four leg reactors also can be used for extinction of the secondary arc at singlephase reclosing in long transmission lines. Since there always is a capacitive coupling between phases, this capacitance will give a current keeping the arc burning, a secondary arc. By adding one single phase reactor in the neutral the secondary arc can be extinguished and the single-phase auto-reclosing successful. The calculation of optimum ratings and points of connection of shunt reactors is generally done by means of extensive load-flow studies, taking into account all possible system configurations. CONNECTIONS IN THE SUBSTATION The reactors can be connected to the bus bar, a transformer tertiary winding or directly to the line, with or without a circuit-breaker (see gure 1).


65


The shunt reactor is normally connected to the transmission line to avoid excess over voltage appearance when the load decreases at night and off days. Since the substations in the urban areas mostly have the transmission lines of small short-circuit capacities, the line voltages fluctuate largely when the shunt reactor of a large capacity is connected or di sconnected. Shunt reactors carry out different types of tasks: 





They compensate the capacitive reactive power of the transmission cables, in particular in networks with only light loads or no load. They reduce system-frequency over-voltages when a sudden load drop occurs or there is no load. They improve the stability and efficiency of the energy transmission.

Reactors to limit over-voltages are most needed in weak power systems, i.e. when network short-circuit power is relatively low. Mostly problems occur on gas-insulated circuit breaker for shunt reactor switching. The frequent switching of the SF6 CB for shunt reactors degraded gas insulation level. The melted contacts, in turn, could not clear the current prospectively. Meanwhile, the high rise rate of transient recovery voltage of inductive current switching caused re-striking phenomenon and incomplete tripping. These two mai n characteristics make the SF6 CB used for shunt reactor un-expectantly damaged . Therefore “ Separate Type Test Report from Accredited Testing Laboratory shall be submitted for the proposed C.B Type for Shunt Reactor or Shunt Capacitor banks Switching .” The unavoidable high frequency transient recovery voltage (TRV) existed in circuit breakers due to inductive switching can be depressed to reasonable and safely level by equipping suitable arrestor. The maintenance policy for the breakers should be planned based on a fixed period maintenance schedule or conditional basic maintenance schedule. Finally, the circuit breaker should be re-flashed after every 500 switching operations to maintain the power system normally Typically, the voltage variation at the high voltage bus bar after switching of a shunt reactor shall not be higher than 2 to 3% of rated voltage. MAIN CALCULATION OF SHUNT REACTORS: All the shunt reactor data and rating will be given in the contract specifications, this summary is just for information. For the calculation of the positive sequence reactance and the current requirements of a shunt reactor, it is necessary to know only the rated three-phase reactive power and the rated system voltage and frequency, as summarized in the table below.
