ANSWER
1. Protection system is a system which is designed to protect electrical power system
from faults, and concerned with minimizing damage to equipment and interruptions to
service when electrical faults occurs.
2. There are several advantages of using protection system in electrical power system
i.e.,
a. Able to avoid and minimize damage of electrical apparatus caused by fault
(abnormal system condition)
b. Able to localize area where the fault occurs to minimize zone of fault.
c. Able to provide electrical service for consumer with high reliability and good
power quality.
d. Able to protect human from harms caused by electricity.
3. Protections which is needed for a whole electrical system i.e.,
a. Short-circuit protection
Protect electrical system from overcurrent fault caused by short-circuit of lineline, line-netral, or line-ground.
b. Overvoltage/Undervoltage protection
Protect electrical system from overvoltage caused by lightning or CB switching
operation which is producing high voltage transient. Prevent undervoltage caused
by disturbance in AVR or increase of load.
c. Overload protection
Protect electrical system from fault due to consuming power exceed than
generated.
d. Frequency unstable protection
A few example of electrical protection apparatus i.e.,
a. Circuit Breaker
b. Current Transformer
