PROTECTION SYSTEM AUDIT CHECK LIST
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PROTECTION MANAGEMENT
SUB-COMMITTEE ON RELAY/PROTECTION UNDER TASK
FORCE FOR POWER SYSTEM ANALYSIS UNDER
CONTIGENCIES
Preamble
As a follow up of one of the recommendations of the Enquiry Committee headed by Chairman, CEA on grid disturbances that took place in Indian grid on 30th and 31st July 2012, Ministry of Power constituted a ‘Task Force on Power System Analysis under Contingencies’ in December 2012. The Terms of Reference of Task Force broadly cover analysis of the network behaviour under normal conditions and contingencies, review of the philosophy of operation of protection relays, review of islanding schemes and technological options to improve the performance of the grid.
Apart from the main Task Force two more sub-committees were constituted. One for system studies for July-September 2013 conditions and another for examining philosophy of relay and protection coordination.
The tasks assigned to the protection sub-committee were to review the protection setting philosophy (including load encroachment, power swing blocking, out of step protection, back-up protections) for protection relays installed at 765kV, 400kV, 220kV (132kV in NER) transmission system and prepare procedure for protection audit. This was submitted to the Task Force on 22.07.2013.
Further one more task assigned to the protection sub-committee was to prepare model setting calculations for typical IEDs used in protection of 400kV line, transformer, reactor and busbar. This document gives the model setting calculations, line protection setting guide lines, protection system audit check lists, recommendations for protection system management and some details connected with protection audit.

MODEL SETTING CALCULATION DOCUMENTS FOR
TYPICAL IEDs USED FOR THE PROTECTION OF DIFFERENT
POWER SYSTEM ELEMENTS IN 220kV, 400kV AND 765 kV
SUBSTATIONS
INTRODUCTION
In addition to setting criteria guide lines prepared by Subcommittee on relay/protection under Task Force for Power System Analysis under Contingencies for 220kV, 400kV and 765kV transmission lines, the Subcommittee has prepared model setting calculation documents for IEDs used for protection of following elements.
• 400kV Transmission line
• 400/220/33kV Auto Transformer • 400kV Shunt Reactor
• 400kV Bus Bar
While guide lines as finalized by the Subcommittee have been used for the setting calculation document on transmission lines, for other power system elements like transformer, shunt reactor and bus bar, guide lines as given in CBIP documents and manufacturer's manuals have been used. The documents presented should serve as a model to various utilities in preparing similar documents for different power system elements that are used in 220kV, 400kV and 765kV EHV and UHV transmission systems. The documents are prepared to meet following expectations given in the Protection subcommittee report.
The numerical terminals referred as IED (Intelligent electronic device) contain apart from main protection functions several other protection & supervision functions which may or may not be used for a particular application. Many of these functions are having default settings which may not be suitable and may lead to mal-operations. Thus, it is important that the recommended setting document should contain all the settings for all functions that are used and indicate clearly the functions not used (to be Blocked / Disabled). This shall be followed not only for Line protection IEDs but also for other IEDs like Generator, Transformer, Reactor, Bus bar protection

and Control functions. It is also recommended that graphical representation of distance relay zones on R-X plane including phase selection, load encroachment & power swing characteristics should be done showing exact setting calculated.
Each of these documents has following main sections:
1. BASIC SYSTEM PARAMETERS: This section contains all the system related information
including single line diagram that will be required in carrying out the setting calculations and thus form an important part. This information is unique to each element like line, transformer, reactor or busbar. This helps not only in carrying out the setting calculations; it also helps in future, if there is a need to revisit this data.
2. TERMINAL IDENTIFICATION AND LIST OF FUNCTIONS: This section contains brief details
of the IED and lists all the functions that are available in the IED and clearly identifies the ones which are activated and those that are required to be set. Thus this section serves as a checklist of all the functions used and gives a quick overview of functions that needs to be set.
3. SETTING CALCULATIONS AND RECOMMENDED SETTINGS: This section contains
subsections viz., Setting guide lines, Setting calculations and Recommended settings for each function.
Setting guidelines: This subsection contains guide lines for each of the parameter to be set for
the function. The guidelines are taken from the report prepared by Protection subcommittee and CBIP guide lines mentioned in the report. In addition to the main settings the IED also has various other settings that need to be set. Guide lines for these settings are taken mainly from manufacturer's user manuals and these are also given here in brief. In such instances, where the setting is straight forward and does not involve any calculations, the recommended value are given and where applicable the reasoning for the adopted setting is given. Setting calculation based on the relay type, relay function is a major concern for utilities and understanding each setting and basis for setting helps in arriving at right settings. Further the guide lines help not only in carrying out the setting calculations, but also help in future, if there is a need to revisit the settings to take corrective actions in case of any mal-operations.
Setting calculations: This subsection contains details of calculations using system parameters
for those parameters that need calculations. Other parameters that do not require any calculations are not covered here. Making setting calculations after understanding the power system implications and as per setting guidelines helps not only in arriving at the right settings but also helps in future, if there is a need to revisit them to take corrective action in case of any

mal-operations (if excel based sheets with macros are used for setting calculations, they should be used cautiously in a transparent manner and explained the reasoning associated with macros / formulae).
Recommended settings: This subsection details recommended setting list with settings for all
the parameters. Settings given in this section need to be used by site engineer for setting the IED.
It is recommended that these model setting calculations are reviewed periodically to take care of any changes in manufacturer's design, use of simulation tools, RTDS, or better understanding of settings and guidelines etc. It is also recommended that setting calculation documents are prepared for IEDs of different manufacturers that are used in the system.
Disclaimer: The model setting calculations and recommended settings presented in this
document are for the specific case considered here. Further, the make of the relay considered is also for illustration purpose only. In the settings which do not require any calculations based on network data, few of the settings may need review for other practical cases. For settings that require calculations, power system network data pertaining to respective cases is to be considered. However, the methodology adopted in this example shall be used for calculating the line and other equipment protection relay settings and arriving at list of recommended settings.

3.1.4 Time Synchronization
Guidelines for Settings:
These settings are used for synchronizing IED clock time with network time. Ex: GPS or IRIG-B time.
CoarseSyncSrc: Select the time synchronization source available such as SPA, LON, SNTP etc.
Synchronization messages from sources configured as coarse are checked against the internal relay time and only if the difference in relay time and source time is more than 10s then relay time will be reset with the source time. This parameter need to be based on time source available in site.
FineSyncSource: Select the time source available in network like IRIG-B, GPS, SNTP, SPA etc.
once it is selected, time of available time source in network will update to relay if there is a difference in the time between relay and source. This parameter need to be based on time source available in site.
SyncMaster: Normally it is set OFF. If time to the relay is received from a GPS antenna (example),
make the relay as master to synchronize with other relays.
TimeAdjustRate: Fast
HWSyncSrc: This is applicable if process bus IEC61850-9-2 protocol is used for receiving analog
values (optical CT PTs). In this case select time source available same as that of merging unit. This setting is not applicable in present case.
AppSynch: If there is any loss of time sync, protection function will be blocked if AppSynch set to
Synch based on SyncAccLevel. If AppSunch set to NoSynch, protection functions are not blocked. Recommended setting is NoSynch.
SyncAccLevel: If this is set to “Class T5 (1us)” and time synch error is more than 1us, protection
functions will be blocked. SyncAccLevel should be set to “Unspecified” when Nosynch is selected at AppSynch. This parameter is not applicable in present case.
ModulePosition: if BIN is set for FineSyncSource, ModulePosition setting is applicable. Here slot
position of IO module in the relay is to be set (Which slot is used for BI). This parameter is not applicable in present case.
BinaryInput: Which binary input is used for time sync input shall be set here. This parameter is
applicable if BIN is set for FineSyncSource. This parameter is not applicable in present case.
BinDetection: Which edge of input pulse need to be detected has to be set here (positive and
negative). This parameter is applicable if BIN is set for FineSyncSource. This parameter is not applicable in present case.
ServerIP-Add: Here set Time source server IP address.
29
MonthInYear, DayInWeek, WeekInMonth and UTCTimeOfDay for DSTBEGIN and DSTEND are applicable where Day light saving is used. If it is not used set same date for both DSTBEGIN and DSTEND. This setting is not applicable in this case.
NoHalfHourUTC: Time shift from GMT has to be set a multiple of half hours. Example for India it is
+05:30, means +11. Hence this parameter is set to +11 in present case.
SYNCHIRIG-B Non group settings: These settings are applicable if IRIG-B is used. This parameter
is not applicable in present case.
SynchType: Type of hardware input used for time sync, whether Opto or BNC. This parameter is not
applicable in present case.

3.1.9 Signal Matrix For Analog Inputs SMAI
Guidelines for Settings:
DFTReference: Set ref for DFT filter adjustment here. These DFT reference block settings decide
DFT reference for DFT calculations.
The settings InternalDFTRef will use fixed DFT reference based on set system frequency. AdDFTRefChn will use DFT reference from the selected group block, when own group selected adaptive DFT reference will be used based on calculated signal frequency from own group. The setting ExternalDFTRef will use reference based on what is connected to input DFTSPFC.
There are three different task groups of SMAI with 1ms, 3ms and 8ms. Use of each task group is based on requirement of function, like differential protection requires 1ms, which is faster.
Each task group has 12 instances of SMAI, in that first instance has some additional features which is called master. Others are slaves and they will follow master. If measured sample rate needs to be transferred to other task group, it can be done only with master.
Receiving task group SMAI DFTreference shall be set to External DFT Ref.
DFTReference shall be set to default value InternalDFTRef if no VT input is available. Since VT input is available in this case, the corresponding channel shall be set to DFTReference. Configuration file has to be referred for this purpose.
DFTRefExtOut: This parameter is available only in Master. If reference is to be sent to other task
36
connected to 3rd SMAI of 1ms task group, AdDFTRefCh3 is to be set in DFTRefExtOut of 1ms task group.
DFTRefExtOut shall be set to default value InternalDFTRef if no VT input is available. Configuration file has to be referred for this purpose.
Negation: Set negation of the function block here. If R, Y, B and N inputs are connected and
Negation is set to NegateN, it will give output R, Y, B and –N. If Negation is set to Negate3Ph, it will give output -R, -Y, -B and N.
If R, Y, B inputs are connected, N=R+Y+B, and it will do as above. This parameter is recommended to be set to OFF normally.
MinValFreqMeas: Set the measured minimum value here. It is applicable only for voltage input.
SMAI will work only if measured input magnitude is greater than set value in MinValFreqMeas. This parameter is recommended to set 10% normally.
UBase: Set the base voltage here. This is parameter is set to 400kV.

3.1.11 Distance Protection Zone, Quadrilateral Characteristic (Zone 1)
ZMQPDIS
General guide lines for Setting Distance protection Zones:
The zones are set directly in primary ohms R, X. The primary ohms R, X are recalculated to secondary ohms with the current and voltage transformer ratios. Figures 3-2 and 3-3 show the characteristics for phase-to-earth measuring and phase-to-phase measuring respectively. The secondary values are presented as information for zone testing.
40
Figure 3-3: Characteristic for phase-to-phase measuring
Guidelines for Setting:
Zone-1:
Setting X1, R1 and X0, R0: To be set to cover 80% of protected line length. Zero sequence
compensation factor is (Z0 – Z1) / 3Z1.
RFPP and RFPE: For phase to ground faults, resistive reach should be set to give maximum
coverage considering fault resistance, arc resistance & tower footing resistance. It has been considered that ground fault would not be responsive to line loading.
Setting of the resistive reach for the underreaching zone 1 should follow the condition to minimize the risk for overreaching:
41
In case of phase to phase fault, resistive reach should be set to provide coverage against all types of anticipated phase to phase faults subject to check of possibility against load point encroachment considering minimum expected voltage and maximum load expected during short time emergency system condition.
To minimize the risk for overreaching, limit the setting of the zone 1 reach in resistive direction for phase-to-phase loop measurement to:
RFPP ≤3 × X1.
IBase: Set the Base current for the Distance protection zones in primary Ampere here. Set to the
current value of the primary winding of the CT. This parameter is set to 1000A in present case.
UBase: Set the Base voltage for the Distance protection zones in primary kV here. Set to the
voltage value of the primary winding of the VT. This parameter is set to 400kV in present case.
IMinOpPP: Setting of minimum sensitivity for zone Phase-Phase elements. Measures IL-IL for each
loop. This is the minimum current required in phase to phase fault for zone measurement. To be set to 20% of IBase.
IMinOpPE: Setting of minimum operating current for Phase faults. Measures ILx. This is the
minimum current required in phase to earth fault for zone measurement. To be set to 20% of IBase.
IMinOpIN: This is the minimum 3I0 current required in phase to earth fault for zone measurement.
To be set to 10% of IBase.
Setting Calculations:
OperationDir = Forward Operation PP = On Operation PE = OnZone 1 phase fault reach is set to 80.0% of the total line reactance
X1Z1' = 46.664Ω Note! Zone will send carrier signal The secondary setting will thus be
X1Z1 = 12.833Ω
Set the positive sequence resistance for phase faults to (this gives the characteristic angle) R1Z1' = 4.378Ω
The secondary setting will thus be R1Z1 = 1.204Ω
Setting of zone earth fault zero sequence values
42 The secondary setting will thus be
X0Z1 = 44.81Ω
Set the zero sequence resistance for earth faults to R0Z1' = 40.873Ω
The secondary setting will thus be R0Z1 = 11.24Ω
Setting of the fault resistive cover
The resistive reach(phase to Phase) is set to cover a maximum expected fault resistance arrived from Warrington formula given below
Rarc =
It is set to 15.0 Ω. (Considering a minimum expected ph to ph fault current of 1500A and arc length of 15meter).
Note that setting of fault resistance is the loop value whereas reactance setting is phase value for phase faults.
The resistive reach (phase to earth) is set as 50 Ω keeping a value of 10 Ω for tower footing resistance, arc-resistance of 15Ω and remote end infeed effect of 25Ω (considering equal fault feed from both side)
Set the resistive reach for phase faults to: RFPPZ1' = 30Ω (loop value) The secondary setting will thus be
RFPPZ1 = 8.25Ω
Set the resistive reach for earth faults to RFPEZ1´= 50Ω
The secondary setting will thus be RFPEZ1 = 13.75Ω
Set the Base current for the Distance protection zones in primary Ampere.

Guidelines for Setting:
Setting X1, R1 and X0, R0:
To be set to cover minimum 120% of length of principle line section. However, in case of double circuit lines 150% coverage must be provided to take care of under reaching due to mutual coupling effect. Zero sequence compensation factor is (Z0 – Z1) / 3Z1.
tPP and tPE settings:
A Zone-2 timing of 0.35s (considering LBB time of 200mS, CB open time of 60ms, resetting time of 30ms and safety margin of 60ms) is set for the present case.
RFPP and RFPE:
Guidelines given for resistive reach under zone-1 is applicable here also. Due to in-feeds, the apparent fault resistance seen by relay is several times the actual value. This should be kept in mind while arriving at resistive reach setting for Zone-2.
IBase: Set the Base current for the Distance protection zones in primary Ampere here. Set to the
current value of the primary winding of the CT. This parameter is set to 1000A in present case.

Zone 2 phase fault reach is set to 150.0% of the total line reactance
X1Z2' = 87.495Ω Zone is accelerated at receipt of Carrier signal. The secondary setting will thus be
X1Z2 = 24.061Ω
Set the positive sequence resistance for phase faults to (this gives the characteristic angle) R1Z2' = 8.208Ω
The secondary setting will thus be R1Z2 = 2.257Ω
Setting of zone earth fault zero sequence values
X0Z2' = 305.52Ω 150.0%of the total line reactance The secondary setting will thus be
X0Z2 = 84.018Ω
Set the zero sequence resistance for earth faults to R0Z2' = 76.637Ω
The secondary setting will thus be R0Z2 = 21.075Ω
Setting of the fault resistive cover
The resistive reach for phase to phase is set to cover a maximum expected fault resistance of 30.0Ω
(Considering a factor of 2 on the Zone-1 resistive reach value to take care of in-feed effect) Set the resistive reach for phase faults to:
RFPPZ2' = 60Ω The secondary setting will thus be
RFPPZ2 =16.5Ω
Set the resistive reach for earth faults to RFPEZ2´= 75Ω
The secondary setting will thus be RFPPZ2 = 20.625Ω

Zone 2 timers setting
Setting of Zone timer activation for phase-phase and earth faults tPP2 = On
tPE2 = On Setting of Zone timers:
tPP2 = 0.35s tPE2 = 0.35s
Note: In this case, Zone-2 reach is not encroaching into 220kV side of the transformer due to in-feeds and therefore zone-2 tripping delay need not be coordinated with HV side backup protection of Transformer as explained in Appendix-I.
