What is Protection is system in electric system ?


What the advantage if it used protection system in power electric system ?
What kind of protection for the whole electrical system ?
What is different or the same between relaying system and protection system ?
Give the description a condition for the best protection system in electrical system ?

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

c.
d.
e.
f.

Potential Transformer
Distance Relay, Differential Relay, and Bucholz Relay in Transformer
Lightning Arrester
etc.

4. Different : Relaying system is a part of electrical protection system which has a


function to connect and disconnect a part of electrical system to another part. While
Protection System is a system which is used to protect electrical system from fault
caused by internal or external disturbance, such as short-circuit, overvoltage, etc.
Similarity : Basically, relaying system and protecting system used in electric system
to protect and prevent electric system from fault.
5. To achieve a best protection system in electrical system, protection system must meet
several requirement condition, i.e.
a. Sensitivity
The protection system must be alive to the presence of the smallest fault current.
The smaller fault current it can detect, the more sensitive it is.
b. Selectivity
Protection system must be selective in choosing the protection zone and isolate it,
thus causing minimum disruption to the system.
c. Speed
Protection system must be act fast when fault occurs, to prevent damage to
electrical apparatus. The longer fault persist on system, the larger damage to the
system.
d. Reliable
Protection system must be able to operate for amount of fault occurance. The good
reliability has 90%-99% operation due to fault ocurance.
