MOTOR PROTECTION RELAY FOR MINING EFFICIENCY NEWELEC

Simulation of Motor Relay Protection Circuit

Simulation of Motor Relay Protection Circuit

This project simulates protected system that includes a source, circuit breaker, transformer, and motor. An experimental 3-Phase Squirrel Cage Induction Motor with Fault Simulator is available at the microgrid laboratory of SQU. Reliability of induction motors is crucial for continuous service in industrial applications. Over-current relay operates at currents exceeding 16A, while under-current relay triggers below 12A. The numerical relay (L&T MPR 300) has been designed to protect the motor against five major problems which are Thermal overload, Single phasing, Earth fault, locked rotor and under current.

Relay protection according to different functions

Relay protection according to different functions

The various protective functions available on a given relay are denoted by standard. For example, a relay including function 51 would be a timed overcurrent protective relay. Types of Protective Relays: Protective relays are categorized by their mechanism (electromagnetic, static, mechanical) and function (time-based, current, voltage). Its main purpose is to safeguard electrical equipment like transformers, generators, and transmission lines from damage due to. It functions as a watchdog by constantly surveying multiple system components including voltage, current, frequency, and phase angle. A protective relay definition is; a switchgear device used to detect faults & begin the circuit breaker operation to separate the faulty element of the system.

220kV relay protection operating time

220kV relay protection operating time

For high fault resistance ground faults, the operating time of the protection is usually stepped from m 1–3 seconds and operating times are harmonised with the protection of the main grid. The 110 and 220 kV lines of the main grid are protected by means of two primary protection schemes (two distance relays or a distance and a differential line relay) or a primary protection relay (distance relay) and a backup protection relay (overcurrent and earth fault relay). Time-graded protection is implemented using overcurrent relays with either definite time characteristic or inverse time characteristic. The numerical terminals referred as IED (Intelligent electronic device) contain apart. In case of Long Line, followed by Short Line, the above mentioned Formula may not give us margin against possible underreaching. Inverse time delay, on the other hand, depends on the current magnitude so, the higher the current, the shorter the delay.
