HV protection concept
HV protection concept
(OP)
Dear All.
Are someone have expirience with French utilities?
I was involved in projects in the country, that operated according to French standards and I have couple of common Q's about standard and concepts.
Could you please help me?
1. Transformer protection for Xfr 90kV 45MVA
What is requeremnts: two 87T protection( both include 50/51), one 87T and one 50/51?
2. Are must used LOR , if yes one for DC1 and one for DC2?
3. Are must used test-plug?
4. Are must used busbar protection?
5. Are possible use one protection for BBP and for BFP?
6. Are must used LOR for BBP?
Best Regards.

RE: HV protection concept
Our french TSO ( RTE) do not use differential protection for transformers.
what is LOR?
test plug is most likely required.
BBP is also required.
Note that protection relay to be used shall be autorize by RTE ( autorisation d'emploi).
What is BFP?
Regards
RE: HV protection concept
LOR = lockout relay, ANSI code 86.
BFP = breaker fail protection. I'm unsure of the ANSI code for BFP.
Do you know why do the French utilities not implement differential protection for their transformers?
----------------------------------
If we learn from our mistakes I'm getting a great education!
RE: HV protection concept
Thanks a lot for your answers.
I will used for this project only AREVA relays, Micom series.
LOR-lock out relay with mechanical or elrctrical reset ( for example RADE of CEE).
BFP-breaker failure protection, part of utilities is request a independenr relay, part used it as part of main 1 or main 2 protective relay, part is approve used mix BBP and BFP in one box, for example Micom P740 (741, 742).

RE: HV protection concept
As I remember, Scotty you do projects for ME, in the ME LOR is MUST, in the US and Canada is must too.
For Xfr's from 5-10MVA, we always install diff protection.

It may be like this in theory and practice, but in real life it is completely different.
The favourite sentence of my army sergeant
RE: HV protection concept
For HV transformer, there is special protection relay (PTP = protection de transformateur primaire) including all required protections ( masse cuve, tap changer, oil temp and so on ..)
I am not 100% sure, but I belive that RTE is still using old philosophies and still avoid 87T due to old reasons ( no interposing CT ...)
50 BF ( bkr failure) is required and may be part of the BBP.

RE: HV protection concept
It's very helpful.
I will back with additional Q's

lz5pl . project in the central Africa
RE: HV protection concept
where in Africa?
some utilities stick more or less of RTE philosophies.
87T may be use/required in some place.

RE: HV protection concept
Is Gabon
Thanks a lot.

RE: HV protection concept
Im found manual of PTP8000 only in French, but is good enough, pict and technical words more or less same.
OK, I see is possible use for this porposes Micom P632 in the 19" box.
What is a TPN, TSA, are grounding transformers? Becouse buholltz trip connect from those trefos too.
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards.
Slava
RE: HV protection concept
TPN is rougly a grounding transfo.
TSA is for auxilliaries services.
I will go for 87T relay for SEEG. ( company for electricity & water of Gabon).
Rgds.
RE: HV protection concept
Thanks a lot again.
Maybe you can help me with next additional Q about SEEG...please.
What is a standard protection concept for sub-transmission lines 90kV
Are used 87L, line diff protection?
Are used 67N and 67 protection?
What is a concept for command between substations: optical, etc...?
Sorry for disturb, my main contractor don't have some connection person in SEEG yet, I would like build concept of protection before his meeting in Gabon.
Best Regards.

RE: HV protection concept
As far as I remenber there is mainly isolated small network in Gabon.
Most likely 67/67N being used and not 87L.
Philosophie for protection is like the one used at distribution level in France . visit h
for relevant document but only in French ( sorry !!!)
Rgds.
RE: HV protection concept
Thanks a lot. I found lot of usefull information on this site.
No problem, in end of the project, maybe, I will speak French.
Merci!!!
