Course Objectives:
On successful completion of this course, the students will be able to:

 Protect power apparatus and transmission systems
 Protect reactors, booster and capacitors
 Protect digital hardware
 Protect switch gears and circuit breakers
Course Description:
PROTECTION OF POWER APPARATUS & TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS, an Overview:
General philosophy of protection – characteristic function of protective relays – basic relay elements and relay terminology – basic
construction of static relays – non-critical switching circuits.
Protection of generators stator phase fault protection – loss of excitation protection, generator off- line protection – Transformer
protection – factors affecting differential protection – magnetizing inrush current – Application and connection of transformer
differential relays – transformers over current protection. - Bus protection -line protection – classification of lines and feeders –
Techniques applicable for line protection – distance protection for phase faults – Fault resistance and relaying – long line protection.
PROTECTION OF REACTORS AND CAPACITORS:

Placement of reactors in power system – Types of reactor – reactor rating application and protection – booster in the power system
– transformer tap changing – protection of boosters – capacitors in an interconnected power system – series – shunt – series shunt
connections – protection of capacitors.
SWITCH GEAR:
Switchgear terminology – arc characteristics – direct and alternating current interruption – arc - quenching phenomena
CIRCUIT BREAKERS - Types of faults in power systems-short circuit current and short circuit MVA calculations for different types of
faults rating of circuit breakers – symmetrical and asymmetrical ratings. Classification of circuit breakers-design, construction and
operating principles of bulk oil, minimum oil, air blast, SF 6 and vacuum circuit breakers – Comparison of different types of circuit
breakers, Testing of circuit breakers.
