    In SVC Thyristor Switched Capacitor TSC but not Controlled Capacitor?

    Hi, As you know the Static Var Compensator SVC consists of branches TCR, TSC and Filters. Can anyone give explanation why we can't do a smooth controlling in capacitors instead of fully conducting or fully off? Thank you SMB

    Using Open Circuit Supervision "95" for REF

    Hi everyone, I understand the application of CT Open Circuit supervision in High Impedance Busbar protection. Could you please explain why we don't use it in High Impedance REF scheme. thank you,

    Problem with Double Wye Capacitor Unbalance Protection

    Dear All, I am talking about Double Wye ungrounded Capacitor Unbalance protection using Neutral CT and neutral VT as explained in IEEE C37.99-2000 section 8.2.6.2. i have 13.8KV capacitor bank double way ungrounded and both unbalance protection approches are used: CT approach: CT will be...

    Distance Operation Due to inrush

    Hi, I have distance protection relay used for 33KV radial line around 80 KM long with more than 150 Distribution transformers. this relay have been operating by Zone-1 many times at energization due to high inrush current 800 A while the maximum feeder load is 200 A. to avoide this situation...

    AutoRecloser setting: is it protection or operation responsibility

    Hi, AutoRecloser setting: is it protection or operationility staff responsibility? We all know that A/R relay or function is under protection responsibility in term of setting implementation, testing shcheme, .. etc. However, the setting of the relay should come from operation/planning people...

    3rd harmonics filter for TCR

    Hi, usually TCR doesn't produce 3rd harmonics components, but i have seen 3rd harmonic filter in one SVC installation. when i asked the people there, they told me TCR can produce 3rd harmonics in case unbalance is inherent in the system. Can any body explain more? thanks

    Do we still need tripping relays

    hi every one, my question is as in the subject, do we still need to add stand-alone tripping relays? what is your practice? thank you,,

    AVR Time Setting

    Hi everybody I have two time setting of the AVR relay T1 & T2 Type SPAU341C. I want to consider the operating time mechanism of the Tap Changer and then add it to the time setting. My question is how much time tap-changer does need to perform one operation? Note that I have 69/13.8KV Xfmr...

    Shunt Capacitor & SVC

    Dear All, Currently, our engineers writting a specification of installing a Fixed shunt capacitor (FC). But in future project they may replace the FC by SVC. Now, What shall they consider in the FC specification to use them as a filter when TCR installed. thanks and regards SMB

    Rising the Xfmr Tap Causing HV side to be down

    Hellow, every body In our dispatch center i have seen that when the dispatcher raises the tap form the HV side, the following happened: 1. The voltage in the secondary increased (Which is OK and expected) 2. The voltage in the primary (HV side) reduced ??? (N1/N2)=(V1/V2) V2=(N2/N1)*V1 From...

    Negative Seq. Relay setting for Xfmr

    I have 69/13.8KV Xfmr Delta(HV)/Way(LV) I want to set the –ve seq. relay to coordinate it with OC protection in the LV side If the L-G fault is 4500 A. What is the value of the –ve sequence in the HV side I got the result from Aspen Oneliner but I could not get the same result by hand. So...
