132 KV LINES PROTECTION
DISTANCE AND OVER CURRENT
Relays used on 132kv lines
The rated frequancy of these relays is 60 cycle per second.
The rated voltage are 125 voltage.
The CT ratio also similar of 11kv feeders.
DISTANCE RELAY
Distance relay works on voltage and current ratio.It has two coils.
One coil energizes from CT and second coil energizes from PT.In falt
conditon.Wheare impedance of line less than adjusted value of relay
impedance.Then torque produce and relay operate.
CONSTRUCTION
It consist horizental beam.The beam is povit in middle of lower side.
They are two electomagnetic under balance beam
One electromagnetic or coil is called oprating coil and other is called
restraning coil.
Oprating coil is energized from CT and resterning coil is energized from
PT.
There are also two connects held uper side in middle of beam.There are
two fixed connect from front of beam connects.These connects relates with
. trip circuit.
There are two armature held in the lower left and right side. The armature
coils of both side are not closed at no load. They are placed in up and down.
WORKING
The relays consist of two main parts directional and non direction element.
When fault occur then fault current passes through the current coils. Then
Flux produce in the lower core of directional element.So, flux will also

control with help of directional element. The directional element works first
The relay works at the time of reverse current.If reverse current increased from
adjust value.
BUCHHOLZ’S RELAY
Buchholz relay only used for immersed oil transformer. It provides the protection against
Internal fault of transformer. That relay connected between transformer tank and
conservator.
When fault occur in the transformer then heat produce so, as a result gases produce.
If fault current is low than relay will provides the signal to alarm circuit. If fault current is
high than relay provides the signal to breaker circuit.
So circuit breaker disconnected the supply that connected with a transformer.
CONSTRUCTION
It consists of domed type oil tight container.
There are two floats and two mercury switch in relay container.
In fault condition. These floats inverse or actuate the mercury switch and gives
the signal to alarm and tripping circuit.
That relay internally completed with oil.
These floats are held in oil and made of aluminum. Every float has a counter
weight that was made of mild steel.
WORKING
When lightly fault occur in transformer then oil will be decomposed so, lightly
bubble and gas produce. That gas moves towards the conservator from main
tank.
During passes through relay the gas stored in the relay housing. so oil level in
relay becomes low.
Then first float that held internally upper side moves down due his counter
weight effect and mercury switch tilt so, the contacts of alarm circuit shorted
with each other. In this way alarm on and provides the fault information.
When heavy fault occur in transformer so, a large amount of gas will be
produced and for that risen whole oil of tank will be transfer to conservator.
So, the balence of lower float will be disturb.
WORKING
It provides very high resistance path to normal voltage but provides
low resistance path between line and earth during high voltage surges.
It earthed high voltage surges of line.
In result there is produce non blowing discharge in special discs
Capillaries and then goes to earth.
When arrester discharge the whole surge then arrester return to
the initial position.
In normal voltage condition, there is a high insulation strength
Between scarp gaps points with help of air provide high insulation
Between gaps and points. So current could not pass through the arrester.
When high voltage surge reached at upper terminal that connected with line,
So the insulation strength between spark gaps becomes zero so current
Passes through these gaps and goes to earth.
So it works as a switch at time of high voltage surges.
The loads can not longer that used to connect with earth.
TYPES
These arrester used for 66kv voltage and also used for higher voltage.
And generating station, sub station these used for 220kv or higher voltage.
ADVANTAGES
DISADVANTAGES
These types of arrester are not used to check the steep fronted.
TRANSFORMER
I vist the whole grid station of 132kv khanewal
First i select the transformer portion for four month traning
The grid station has four transformer
Three tranformers are using for consumers load and industrial load
But one transformer for khanewal Railway.
first of all i observe the first transformer. It was made in 1993 from china.
It has 20/26 MVA capacity with out fan 20 MVA and 26 MVA with fan.
It is step down transformer
It is a three phase transformer.
It has delta to star connection means its input winding is in delta connection and out
put winding in star connection
It has 132/11kv voltage rating. It takes 132kv in put voltage and provides the
11 kv voltage from out put
It current rating is 113.7/1305A.In put current 113.7 and out put current is
1305 ampere
I see the in puts and out puts these are properly connected with
in put supply and out put supply.
It observe the whole transformer externally the bushing connections
were properly connected, no external fault transformer was damaged
the basement was made with connect cemented. it is a H-type basement
Then i visit the second transformer, it is made of Asia Sweden
It is capacity 5/6.25 MVA
It has 132/66 kv voltage rating
It is also step down transformer
It was made in 1962
It has different method of cooling. It has oil natural, air natural and
air force cooling. oil natural cooling means oil that is used in transformer
provides cooling. In air natural the air of atmosphere is used for cooling. For
this purpose radiator tubes are used.
is depend on current direction. It gives the trip single at the time of reverse
direction power from normal direction of power. The combination of non directional
and directional element make the relay that operates when current flow in a
over current relay for make the electromagnetic over current directional relay.
directional power relays, directional over current relay and directional earth fault
relay are include in directional relays categories. During matching of directional feature
the current coil is connected with CT and voltage coil is connected with PT secondary
side.
WORKING
The relay consistent of two main parts directional element and non directional
element.
When fault occur then fault current passes through the current coil.
Then flux produce in the lower core of directional element. So, flux will also

contacts and rotating disk. Under condition of torque spindle moves and moving contacts
After completing that process the lower and upper cores of non directional element
will be
automatically energized. So, due to resultant flux the spindle of non directional element
will rotates. The rotation will complete after some time and fixed contacts closed with
moving contacts and trip single provides to trip circuit.
In this method the motion or working of non directional element can be control with
help of
directional element the directional element works first and then non directional
element.
The relay work at the time of reverse current, if reverse current increased from adjust
value.
TRANSFORMER PROTECTION
Differential relays is used with transformer that are help at 132kv grid station
Khanewal.
over current relays are also used with transformer.
These relays works on 50 cycle per second
supply. But another relay that is the part of transformer is called buchholz relay.
INTRODUCTION OF LIGHTING ARRESTERS
Lightning arrester is a safety device that is used to
connect the in coming high voltage surges to the earth lightning arrester provides
the low impedance and easy path to high voltage surges and direct to the earth.
It provides the resistance path for current in abnormal condition because during
high terminal voltages it provide low resistance, but low terminal voltages it has
high resistance.
When high voltage surge reached at lightning arrester, then insulation of air breakdown
As surges diverts to earth then surge divert becomes non positive and disconnect the path
The lightning arrester also has a non linear resistor that is used for current limited
purpose.
The arrester used for medium voltage, 22kv, 66kv, 220kv.The arrester used for
Transmission protection as a wire used above transmission. This wire continually used
as with as transmission.
oil.
In normal condition the primary voltage remains constant, so volt meter can not show
reading.
In abnormal condition the primary winding voltage changes, so voltages across volt
meter change,
and it indicates these changes. The change of voltage effect on relay plunger contacts
and relay contacts close with each other and relay gives trip single to circuit breaker.
COSTRUCTON
Its construction contains of interrupter unit and gas system.
Interrupter unit:
This unit contains of fixed and moving contacts. The blast shield is
used for control the arc displacement and hot gases. The moving
contacts are in form of hollow nozzle. There is also side vent that
provides gas into interrupter chamber.
In normally condition both contacts closed with other and at fault
moving contacts separate from fix contact then arc will produced.
Working:
In normal condition fixed contacts and moving contacts are in
closed position on tough with each other and current can flow
from supply to circuit.
When fault occurs then due to arc pressure the contacts separate to
each other.
The arc shifted from main contacts to arcing contacts. There is a
layer of copper tungsten arc resistance on the surface of arcing and
main contacts. The SF6 gas is provided between contacts from
reservoir with the help of valve that opened with pressure. The
SF6 gas molecule absorb the electron become negative ions
because this gas high electro negative.
