3.1 INTRODUCTION
The Protection Engineer is concerned with limiting theeffects of disturbances in a power system. Thesedisturbances, if allowed to persist, may damage plantand interrupt the supply of electric energy. They aredescribed as faults (short and open circuits) or powerswings, and result from natural hazards (for instancelightning), plant failure or human error.
To facilitate rapid removal of a disturbance from a power
system, the system is divided into 'protection zones'.Relays monitor the system quantities (current, voltage)appearing in these zones; if a fault occurs inside a zone,the relays operate to isolate the zone from the remainderof the power system.
The operating characteristic of a relay depends on theenergizing quantities fed to it such as current or voltage,or various combinations of these two quantities, and onthe manner in which the relay is designed to respond tothis information. For example, a directional relaycharacteristic would be obtained by designing the relay
to compare the phase angle between voltage and currentat the relaying point. An impedance-measuringcharacteristic, on the other hand, would be obtained bydesigning the relay to divide voltage by current. Manyother more complex relay characteristics may beobtained by supplying various combinations of currentand voltage to the relay. Relays may also be designed torespond to other system quantities such as frequency,power, etc.
In order to apply protection relays, it is usually necessaryto know the limiting values of current and voltage, andtheir relative phase displacement at the relay location,for various types of short circuit and their position in thesystem. This normally requires some system analysis forfaults occurring at various points in the system.
The main components that make up a power system aregenerating sources, transmission and distributionnetworks, and loads. Many transmission and distributioncircuits radiate from key points in the system and thesecircuits are controlled by circuit breakers. For thepurpose of analysis, the power system is treated as a
network of circuit elements contained in branchesradiating from nodes to form closed loops or meshes.The system variables are current and voltage, and in

steady state analysis, they are regarded as time varyingquantities at a single and constant frequency. Thenetwork parameters are impedance and admittance;these are assumed to be linear, bilateral (independent ofcurrent direction) and constant for a constant frequency.
3.2 VECTOR ALGEBRA
A vector represents a quantity in both magnitude anddirection. In Figure 3.1 the vector OP has a magnitude|Z| at an angle with the reference axis OX.
Figure 3.1
It may be resolved into two components at right anglesto each other, in this case xandy. The magnitude orscalar value of vector Zis known as the modulus |Z|, and
the angle is the argument, and is written as arg. Z.The conventional method of expressing a vectorZ
is to
write simply |Z|.
This form completely specifies a vector for graphicalrepresentation or conversion into other forms.
For vectors to be useful, they must be expressedalgebraically. In Figure 3.1, the vector
Zis the resultant
of vectorially adding its components x and y;algebraically this vector may be written as:
Z=x +jy Equation 3.1
where the operatorjindicates that the componentyisperpendicular to component x. In electricalnomenclature, the axis OC is the 'real' or 'in-phase' axis,and the vertical axis OY is called the 'imaginary' or'quadrature' axis. The operatorjrotates a vector anti-clockwise through 90. If a vector is made to rotate anti-clockwise through 180, then the operator j hasperformed its function twice, and since the vector hasreversed its sense, then:
j xj orj2 =-1
whence j = -1
The representation of a vector quantity algebraically interms of its rectangular co-ordinates is called a 'complexquantity'. Therefore,x+jyis a complex quantity and isthe rectangular form of the vector |Z| where:
Equation 3.2
From Equations 3.1 and 3.2:Z= |Z| (cos +jsin) Equation 3.3
and since cos and sin may be expressed inexponential form by the identities:
it follows thatZmay also be written as:
Z= |Z|ej Equation 3.4
Therefore, a vector quantity may also be representedtrigonometrically and exponentially.
3.3 MANIPULATION
OF COMPLEX QUANTIT IES
Complex quantities may be represented in any of thefour co-ordinate systems given below:
a. Polar Z
b. Rectangular x +jy
c. Trigonometric |Z| (cos +jsin)
d. Exponential |Z|ej
The modulus |Z| and the argument are together knownas 'polar co-ordinates', and xand y are described as'cartesian co-ordinates'. Conversion between co-ordinate systems is easily achieved. As the operatorjobeys the ordinary laws of algebra, complex quantities inrectangular form can be manipulated algebraically, ascan be seen by the following:
Z1 +
Z2 = (x1+x2) +j(y1+y2) Equation 3.5

3.3.1 Complex variables
Some complex quantities are variable with, for example,time; when manipulating such variables in differentialequations it is expedient to write the complex quantityin exponential form.
When dealing with such functions it is important toappreciate that the quantity contains real and imaginary
components. If it is required to investigate only onecomponent of the complex variable, separation intocomponents must be carried out after the mathematicaloperation has taken place.
Example: Determine the rate of change of the realcomponent of a vector |Z|wtwith time.
|Z|wt= |Z| (coswt+jsinwt)
= |Z|ejwt
The real component of the vector is |Z|coswt.
Differentiating |Z|ejwt
with respect to time:
=jw|Z| (coswt+jsinwt)
Separating into real and imaginary components:
Thus, the rate of change of the real component of avector |Z|wtis:

3.3.2 Complex Numbers
A complex number may be defined as a constant thatrepresents the real and imaginary components of aphysical quantity. The impedance parameter of anelectric circuit is a complex number having real andimaginary components, which are described as resistanceand reactance respectively.
Confusion often arises between vectors and complexnumbers. A vector, as previously defined, may be acomplex number. In this context, it is simply a physicalquantity of constant magnitude acting in a constantdirection. A complex number, which, being a physicalquantity relating stimulus and response in a givenoperation, is known as a 'complex operator'. In thiscontext, it is distinguished from a vector by the fact thatit has no direction of its own.
Because complex numbers assume a passive role in anycalculation, the form taken by the variables in the
problem determines the method of representing them.
3.3.3 Mathematical Operators
Mathematical operators are complex numbers that areused to move a vector through a given angle withoutchanging the magnitude or character of the vector. Anoperator is not a physical quantity; it is dimensionless.
The symbol j, which has been compounded withquadrature components of complex quantities, is an
operator that rotates a quantity anti-clockwise through90. Another useful operator is one which moves avector anti-clockwise through 120, commonlyrepresented by the symbol a.
Operators are distinguished by one further feature; theyare the roots of unity. Using De Moivre's theorem, thenth root of unity is given by solving the expression:
11/n = (cos2m + jsin2m)1/n
where m is any integer. Hence:
where m has values 1, 2, 3, ... (n-1)
From the above expressionjis found to be the 4th rootand a the 3rd root of unity, as they have four and threedistinct values respectively. Table 3.1 gives some usefulfunctions of the a operator.

3.4 CIRCUIT QUANTIT IES
AND CONVENTIONS
Circuit analysis may be described as the study of theresponse of a circuit to an imposed condition, forexample a short circuit. The circuit variables are currentand voltage. Conventionally, current flow results fromthe application of a driving voltage, but there iscomplete duality between the variables and either maybe regarded as the cause of the other.
When a circuit exists, there is an interchange of energy;a circuit may be described as being made up of 'sources'and 'sinks' for energy. The parts of a circuit are describedas elements; a 'source' may be regarded as an 'active'element and a 'sink' as a 'passive' element. Some circuitelements are dissipative, that is, they are continuoussinks for energy, for example resistance. Other circuitelements may be alternately sources and sinks, forexample capacitance and inductance. The elements of acircuit are connected together to form a network havingnodes (terminals or junctions) and branches (seriesgroups of elements) that form closed loops (meshes).
In steady state a.c. circuit theory, the ability of a circuitto accept a current flow resulting from a given drivingvoltage is called the impedance of the circuit. Sincecurrent and voltage are duals the impedance parametermust also have a dual, called admittance.
3.4.1 Circuit Variables
As current and voltage are sinusoidal functions of time,varying at a single and constant frequency, they areregarded as rotating vectors and can be drawn as plan
vectors (that is, vectors defined by two co-ordinates) ona vector diagram.

For example, the instantaneous value, e, of a voltagevarying sinusoidally with time is:
e=Emsin(wt+) Equation 3.8
where:
Em is the maximum amplitude of the waveform;=2f, the angular velocity,
is the argument defining the amplitude of thevoltage at a time t=0
At t=0, the actual value of the voltage is Emsin. So ifEm is regarded as the modulus of a vector, whose
argument is , then Emsin is the imaginary componentof the vector |Em|. Figure 3.3 illustrates this quantityas a vector and as a sinusoidal function of time.
Figure 3.3
The current resulting from applying a voltage to a circuitdepends upon the circuit impedance. If the voltage is asinusoidal function at a given frequency and theimpedance is constant the current will also varyharmonically at the same frequency, so it can be shownon the same vector diagram as the voltage vector, and isgiven by the equation
Equation 3.9
where:
Equation 3.10
From Equations 3.9 and 3.10 it can be seen that theangular displacement between the current and voltagevectors and the current magnitude |Im|=|Em|/|Z| is
dependent upon the impedance
Z. In complex form theimpedance may be written Z=R+jX. The 'realcomponent', R, is the circuit resistance, and the

'imaginary component',X, is the circuit reactance. Whenthe circuit reactance is inductive (that is, wL>1/wC), thecurrent 'lags' the voltage by an angle , and when it iscapacitive (that is, 1/wC>wL) it 'leads' the voltage by anangle .
When drawing vector diagrams, one vector is chosen asthe 'reference vector' and all other vectors are drawn
relative to the reference vector in terms of magnitudeand angle. The circuit impedance |Z| is a complexoperator and is distinguished from a vector only by thefact that it has no direction of its own. A furtherconvention is that sinusoidally varying quantities aredescribed by their 'effective' or 'root mean square' (r.m.s.)values; these are usually written using the relevantsymbol without a suffix.
Thus:
Equation 3.11
The 'root mean square' value is that value which has thesame heating effect as a direct current quantity of thatvalue in the same circuit, and this definition applies tonon-sinusoidal as well as sinusoidal quantities.
3.4.2 Sign Conventions
In describing the electrical state of a circuit, it is oftennecessary to refer to the 'potential difference' existing
between two points in the circuit. Since wherever sucha potential difference exists, current will flow and energywill either be transferred or absorbed, it is obviouslynecessary to define a potential difference in more exactterms. For this reason, the terms voltage rise and voltagedrop are used to define more accurately the nature of thepotential difference.
Voltage rise is a rise in potential measured in thedirection of current flow between two points in a circuit.
Voltage drop is the converse. A circuit element with avoltage rise across it acts as a source of energy. A circuit
element with a voltage drop across it acts as a sink ofenergy. Voltage sources are usually active circuitelements, while sinks are usually passive circuitelements. The positive direction of energy flow is fromsources to sinks.
Kirchhoff's first law states that the sum of the drivingvoltages must equal the sum of the passive voltages in aclosed loop. This is illustrated by the fundamentalequation of an electric circuit:
Equation 3.12
where the terms on the left hand side of the equation arevoltage drops across the circuit elements. Expressed in

m

=

2
steady state terms Equation 3.12 may be written:
Equation 3.13
and this is known as the equated-voltage equation [3.1].
It is the equation most usually adopted in electricalnetwork calculations, since it equates the drivingvoltages, which are known, to the passive voltages,
which are functions of the currents to be calculated.
In describing circuits and drawing vector diagrams, forformal analysis or calculations, it is necessary to adopt anotation which defines the positive direction of assumedcurrent flow, and establishes the direction in whichpositive voltage drops and voltage rises act. Twomethods are available; one, the double suffix method, isused for symbolic analysis, the other, the single suffix ordiagrammatic method, is used for numericalcalculations.
In the double suffix method the positive direction ofcurrent flow is assumed to be from node a to node b andthe current is designated Iab . With the diagrammaticmethod, an arrow indicates the direction of current flow.
The voltage rises are positive when acting in thedirection of current flow. It can be seen from Figure 3.4that
E1 and
Ean are positive voltage rises and
E2 and
Ebn are negative voltage rises. In the diagrammaticmethod their direction of action is simply indicated by anarrow, whereas in the double suffix method,
Ean and
Ebn
indicate that there is a potential rise in directions na and nb.

where a is the vector operator ej2/3. Further, if the phasebranch impedances are identical in a balanced system, itfollows that the resulting currents are also balanced.
3.5 IMPEDANCE NOTATION
It can be seen by inspection of any power systemdiagram that:
a. several voltage levels exist in a system
b. it is common practice to refer to plant MVA in
terms of per unit or percentage valuesc. transmission line and cable constants are given in
ohms/km
Before any system calculations can take place, thesystem parameters must be referred to 'base quantities'and represented as a unified system of impedances ineither ohmic, percentage, or per unit values.
The base quantities are power and voltage. Normally,they are given in terms of the three-phase power in MVAand the line voltage in kV. The base impedance resulting
from the above base quantities is:
ohms Equation 3.18
and, provided the system is balanced, the baseimpedance may be calculated using either single-phaseor three-phase quantities.
The per unit or percentage value of any impedance in thesystem is the ratio of actual to base impedance values.
Hence:
Equation 3.19
where MVAb = base MVA
kVb = base kV
Simple transposition of the above formulae will refer theohmic value of impedance to the per unit or percentage
values and base quantities.Having chosen base quantities of suitable magnitude all

system impedances may be converted to those basequantities by using the equations given below:
Equation 3.20
where suffix b1 denotes the value to the original base
and b2 denotes the value to new base
The choice of impedance notation depends upon thecomplexity of the system, plant impedance notation andthe nature of the system calculations envisaged.
If the system is relatively simple and contains mainlytransmission line data, given in ohms, then the ohmicmethod can be adopted with advantage. However, theper unit method of impedance notation is the mostcommon for general system studies since:
1. impedances are the same referred to either side ofa transformer if the ratio of base voltages on thetwo sides of a transformer is equal to thetransformer turns ratio
2. confusion caused by the introduction of powers of100 in percentage calculations is avoided
3. by a suitable choice of bases, the magnitudes ofthe data and results are kept within a predictablerange, and hence errors in data and computationsare easier to spot
Most power system studies are carried out usingsoftware in per unit quantities. Irrespective of themethod of calculation, the choice of base voltage, andunifying system impedances to this base, should beapproached with caution, as shown in the followingexample.

From Figure 3.6 it can be seen that the base voltages inthe three circuits are related by the turns ratios of theintervening transformers. Care is required as thenominal transformation ratios of the transformersquoted may be different from the turns ratios- e.g. a110/33kV (nominal) transformer may have a turns ratioof 110/34.5kV. Therefore, the rule for hand calculationsis: 'to refer an impedance in ohms from one circuit to
another multiply the given impedance by the square ofthe turns ratio (open circuit voltage ratio) of theintervening transformer'.
Where power system simulation software is used, thesoftware normally has calculation routines built in toadjust transformer parameters to take account ofdifferences between the nominal primary and secondaryvoltages and turns ratios. In this case, the choice of basevoltages may be more conveniently made as the nominalvoltages of each section of the power system. Thisapproach avoids confusion when per unit or percentvalues are used in calculations in translating the finalresults into volts, amps, etc.
For example, in Figure 3.7, generators G1 and G2 have asub-transient reactance of 26% on 66.6MVA rating at11kV, and transformers T1 and T2 a voltage ratio of11/145kV and an impedance of 12.5% on 75MVA.Choosing 100MVA as base MVA and 132kV as basevoltage, find the percentage impedances to new basequantities.
a. Generator reactances to new bases are:
b. Transformer reactances to new bases are:
NOTE: The base voltages of the generator and circuits
are 11kV and 145kV respectively, that is, the turns
ratio of the transformer. The corresponding per unit
values can be found by dividing by 100, and the ohmic
value can be found by using Equation 3.19.

3.6 BASIC CIRCUIT LAWS,
THEOREMS AND NETWORK REDUCTION
Most practical power system problems are solved byusing steady state analytical methods. The assumptionsmade are that the circuit parameters are linear andbilateral and constant for constant frequency circuitvariables. In some problems, described as initial value
problems, it is necessary to study the behaviour of acircuit in the transient state. Such problems can besolved using operational methods. Again, in otherproblems, which fortunately are few in number, theassumption of linear, bilateral circuit parameters is nolonger valid. These problems are solved using advancedmathematical techniques that are beyond the scope ofthis book.
3.6.1 Circuit Laws
In linear, bilateral circuits, three basic network lawsapply, regardless of the state of the circuit, at anyparticular instant of time. These laws are the branch,
junction and mesh laws, due to Ohm and Kirchhoff, andare stated below, using steady state a.c. nomenclature.
3.6.1.1 Branch law
The currentI in a given branch of impedance
Z is
proportional to the potential differenceV appearing
across the branch, that is,V=
I
Z.
3.6.1.2 Junction law
The algebraic sum of all currents entering any junction(or node) in a network is zero, that is:
3.6.1.3 Mesh law
The algebraic sum of all the driving voltages in anyclosed path (or mesh) in a network is equal to thealgebraic sum of all the passive voltages (products of theimpedances and the currents) in the componentsbranches, that is:
Alternatively, the total change in potential around aclosed loop is zero.
3.6.2 Circuit Theorems
From the above network laws, many theorems have beenderived for the rationalisation of networks, either toreach a quick, simple, solution to a problem or to
represent a complicated circuit by an equivalent. Thesetheorems are divided into two classes: those concernedwith the general properties of networks and those

concerned with network reduction.
Of the many theorems that exist, the three mostimportant are given. These are: the SuperpositionTheorem, Thvenin's Theorem and Kennelly's Star/DeltaTheorem.
3.6.2.1 Superposition Theorem(general network theorem)
The resultant current that flows in any branch of anetwork due to the simultaneous action of severaldriving voltages is equal to the algebraic sum of thecomponent currents due to each driving voltage actingalone with the remainder short-circuited.
3.6.2.2 Thvenin's Theorem(active network reduction theorem)
Any active network that may be viewed from twoterminals can be replaced by a single driving voltageacting in series with a single impedance. The driving
voltage is the open-circuit voltage between the twoterminals and the impedance is the impedance of thenetwork viewed from the terminals with all sourcesshort-circuited.
3.6.2.3 Kennelly's Star/Delta Theorem(passive network reduction theorem)
Any three-terminal network can be replaced by a delta orstar impedance equivalent without disturbing theexternal network. The formulae relating the replacementof a delta network by the equivalent star network is as
follows (Figure 3.8):Zco =
Z13
Z23 / (

and so on.

and so on.
3.6.3 Network Reduction
The aim of network reduction is to reduce a system to asimple equivalent while retaining the identity of thatpart of the system to be studied.
For example, consider the system shown in Figure 3.9.The network has two sources E and E, a line AOBshunted by an impedance, which may be regarded as the
reduction of a further network connected betweenA andB, and a load connected between O andN. The object ofthe reduction is to study the effect of opening a breakeratA or B during normal system operations, or of a faultatA or B. Thus the identity of nodesA and B must beretained together with the sources, but the branch ONcan be eliminated, simplifying the study. Proceeding,A,B,N, forms a star branch and can therefore be convertedto an equivalent delta.

The network is now reduced as shown in Figure 3.10.
By applying Thvenin's theorem to the active loops, thesecan be replaced by a single driving voltage in series withan impedance as shown in Figure 3.11.
Figure 3.11
The network shown in Figure 3.9 is now reduced to thatshown in Figure 3.12 with the nodesA and B retainingtheir identity. Further, the load impedance has beencompletely eliminated.
The network shown in Figure 3.12 may now be used tostudy system disturbances, for example power swingswith and without faults.
Figure 3.12
Most reduction problems follow the same pattern as theexample above. The rules to apply in practical networkreduction are:
a. decide on the nature of the disturbance ordisturbances to be studied
b. decide on the information required, for examplethe branch currents in the network for a fault at a
particular location
c. reduce all passive sections of the network notdirectly involved with the section underexamination
d. reduce all active meshes to a simple equivalent,that is, to a simple source in series with a singleimpedance
With the widespread availability of computer-basedpower system simulation software, it is now usual to usesuch software on a routine basis for network calculations
without significant network reduction taking place.However, the network reduction techniques given aboveare still valid, as there will be occasions where suchsoftware is not immediately available and a handcalculation must be carried out.
In certain circuits, for example parallel lines on the sametowers, there is mutual coupling between branches.Correct circuit reduction must take account of thiscoupling.

Three cases are of interest. These are:
a. two branches connected together at their nodes
b. two branches connected together at one node only
c. two branches that remain unconnected

In order to evaluate the branches of the equivalentmesh let all points of entry of the actual circuit becommoned except node 1 of circuit 1, as shown inFigure 3.15(c). Then all impressed voltages exceptV1 will be zero and:
I1 = Y11V1
I2 = Y12V1
If the same conditions are applied to the equivalentmesh, then:
I1 = V1Z11
I2 = -V1/Z12 = -V1/Z12
These relations follow from the fact that the branchconnecting nodes 1 and 1' carries current I1 andthe branches connecting nodes 1 and 2' and 1 and2 carry current I2. This must be true since branchesbetween pairs of commoned nodes can carry no
current.By considering each node in turn with theremainder commoned, the following relationshipsare found:
Z11 = 1/Y11
Z22 = 1/Y22
Z12 = -1/Y12
Z12 = Z1 2 = -Z21 = -Z12
Hence:
Z11 = Z11Z22-Z212_______________Z22

4.1 INTRODUCTION
A power system is normally treated as a balancedsymmetrical three-phase network. When a fault occurs,the symmetry is normally upset, resulting in unbalancedcurrents and voltages appearing in the network. The onlyexception is the three-phase fault, which, because itinvolves all three phases equally at the same location, isdescribed as a symmetrical fault. By using symmetricalcomponent analysis and replacing the normal system
sources by a source at the fault location, it is possible toanalyse these fault conditions.
For the correct application of protection equipment, it isessential to know the fault current distributionthroughout the system and the voltages in differentparts of the system due to the fault. Further, boundaryvalues of current at any relaying point must be known ifthe fault is to be cleared with discrimination. Theinformation normally required for each kind of fault ateach relaying point is:
i. maximum fault current
ii. minimum fault current
iii. maximum through fault current
To obtain the above information, the limits of stablegeneration and possible operating conditions, includingthe method of system earthing, must be known. Faultsare always assumed to be through zero fault impedance.
4.2 THREE-PHASE FAULT CALCULATIONS
Three-phase faults are unique in that they are balanced,that is, symmetrical in the three phases, and can becalculated from the single-phase impedance diagramand the operating conditions existing prior to the fault.
A fault condition is a sudden abnormal alteration to thenormal circuit arrangement. The circuit quantities,current and voltage, will alter, and the circuit will passthrough a transient state to a steady state. In thetransient state, the initial magnitude of the fault currentwill depend upon the point on the voltage wave at whichthe fault occurs. The decay of the transient condition,
until it merges into steady state, is a function of theparameters of the circuit elements. The transient currentmay be regarded as a d.c. exponential current

superimposed on the symmetrical steady state faultcurrent. In a.c. machines, owing to armature reaction,the machine reactances pass through 'sub transient' and'transient' stages before reaching their steady statesynchronous values. For this reason, the resultant faultcurrent during the transient period, from fault inceptionto steady state also depends on the location of the faultin the network relative to that of the rotating plant.
In a system containing many voltage sources, or havinga complex network arrangement, it is tedious to use thenormal system voltage sources to evaluate the faultcurrent in the faulty branch or to calculate the faultcurrent distribution in the system. A more practicalmethod [4.1] is to replace the system voltages by a singledriving voltage at the fault point. This driving voltage isthe voltage existing at the fault point before the faultoccurs.
Consider the circuit given in Figure 4.1 where the driving
voltages are
Eand
E, the impedances on either side of
fault point FareZ1and
Z1 , and the current through
point Fbefore the fault occurs isI.

The voltageVat Fbefore fault inception is:

After the fault the voltageVis zero. Hence, the change
in voltage is - V. Because of the fault, the change in thecurrent flowing into the network from Fis:
and, since no current was flowing into the network fromFprior to the fault, the fault current flowing from thenetwork into the fault is:
By applying the principle of superposition, the loadcurrents circulating in the system prior to the fault may

be added to the currents circulating in the system due tothe fault, to give the total current in any branch of thesystem at the time of fault inception. However, in mostproblems, the load current is small in comparison to thefault current and is usually ignored.
In a practical power system, the system regulation issuch that the load voltage at any point in the system is
within 10% of the declared open-circuit voltage at thatpoint. For this reason, it is usual to regard the pre-faultvoltage at the fault as being the open-circuit voltage,and this assumption is also made in a number of thestandards dealing with fault level calculations.
For an example of practical three-phase faultcalculations, consider a fault atA in Figure 3.9. With thenetwork reduced as shown in Figure 4.2, the load voltageatA before the fault occurs is:

The nodeA is the junction of three branches. In practice,the node would be a busbar, and the branches arefeeders radiating from the bus via circuit breakers, asshown in Figure 4.3(b). There are two possible locationsfor a fault atA; the busbar side of the breakers or theline side of the breakers. In this example, it is assumedthat the fault is atX, and it is required to calculate thecurrent flowing from the bus toX.

Let this current be 1.0 per unit. It is now necessary tofind the fault current distribution in the various branchesof the network and in particular the current flowing fromA toXon the assumption that a relay atXis to detectthe fault condition. The equivalent impedances viewedfrom either side of the fault are shown in Figure 4.4(a).

0.68/0.62 = 1.1ohmsand
0.68/0.38 = 1.79ohms
The circuit of Figure 4.4 (b) has been included becausethe Protection Engineer is interested in these equivalentparameters when applying certain types of protectionrelay.
4.3 SYMMETRICAL COMPONENT ANALYSISOF A THREE-PHASE NETWORK
The Protection Engineer is interested in a wider variety offaults than just a three-phase fault. The most commonfault is a single-phase to earth fault, which, in LV
systems, can produce a higher fault current than a three-phase fault. Similarly, because protection is expected tooperate correctly for all types of fault, it may benecessary to consider the fault currents due to manydifferent types of fault. Since the three-phase fault isunique in being a balanced fault, a method of analysisthat is applicable to unbalanced faults is required. It canbe shown [4.2] that, by applying the 'Principle ofSuperposition', any general three-phase system ofvectors may be replaced by three sets of balanced(symmetrical) vectors; two sets are three-phase but
having opposite phase rotation and one set is co-phasal.These vector sets are described as the positive, negativeand zero sequence sets respectively.
The equations between phase and sequence voltages aregiven below:

Equation 4.2
where all quantities are referred to the reference phaseA. A similar set of equations can be written for phaseand sequence currents. Figure 4.5 illustrates theresolution of a system of unbalanced vectors.
Figure 4.5
When a fault occurs in a power system, the phase
impedances are no longer identical (except in the case ofthree-phase faults) and the resulting currents andvoltages are unbalanced, the point of greatest unbalancebeing at the fault point. It has been shown in Chapter 3that the fault may be studied by short-circuiting allnormal driving voltages in the system and replacing thefault connection by a source whose driving voltage isequal to the pre-fault voltage at the fault point. Hence,the system impedances remain symmetrical, viewed fromthe fault, and the fault point may now be regarded as thepoint of injection of unbalanced voltages and currents
into the system.This is a most important approach in defining the faultconditions since it allows the system to be representedby sequence networks [4.3] using the method ofsymmetrical components.
4.3.1 Positive Sequence Network
During normal balanced system conditions, only positivesequence currents and voltages can exist in the system,and therefore the normal system impedance network is a
positive sequence network.

replacing the fault branch by a source equal to the changein voltage and short-circuiting all normal driving voltagesin the system results in a current
I flowing into the
system, and:
Equation 4.3
whereZ1 is the positive sequence impedance of the
system viewed from the fault. As before the fault nocurrent was flowing from the fault into the system, itfollows that

flowing from the network into the fault is:
Equation 4.5
The impedances in the negative sequence network are
generally the same as those in the positive sequencenetwork. In machines Z1 Z2 , but the difference is
generally ignored, particularly in large networks.
The negative sequence diagrams, shown in Figure 4.7, aresimilar to the positive sequence diagrams, with twoimportant differences; no driving voltages exist beforethe fault and the negative sequence voltage
V2 is
greatest at the fault point.

Also, the zero sequence diagram is that of Figure 4.7,substituting

The currents and voltages in the zero sequence networkare co-phasal, that is, all the same phase. For zerosequence currents to flow in a system there must be areturn connection through either a neutral conductor orthe general mass of earth. Note must be taken of thisfact when determining zero sequence equivalent circuits.Further, in general

4.4 EQUATIONS AND NETWORK CONNECTIONSFOR VARIOUS TYPES OF FAULTS
The most important types of faults are as follows:
a. single-phase to earth
b. phase to phase
c. phase-phase-earth
d. three-phase (with or without earth)
The above faults are described as single shunt faultsbecause they occur at one location and involve aconnection between one phase and another or to earth.
In addition, the Protection Engineer often studies twoother types of fault:
e. single-phase open circuit
f. cross-country fault
By determining the currents and voltages at the fault
point, it is possible to define the fault and connect thesequence networks to represent the fault condition.From the initial equations and the network diagram, thenature of the fault currents and voltages in differentbranches of the system can be determined.
For shunt faults of zero impedance, and neglecting loadcurrent, the equations defining each fault (using phase-neutral values) can be written down as follows:
a. Single-phase-earth (A-E)
Equation 4.7
b. Phase-phase (B-C)
Equation 4.8
c. Phase-phase-earth (B-C-E)
Equation 4.9
d. Three-phase (A-B-C or A-B-C-E)
Equation 4.10
It should be noted from the above that for any type offault there are three equations that define the faultconditions.

When there is a fault impedance, this must be taken intoaccount when writing down the equations. For example,with a single-phase-earth fault through fault impedanceZf, Equations 4.7 are re-written:

4.4.1 Single-phase-earth Fault (A-E)
Consider a fault defined by Equations 4.7 and by Figure4.8(a). Converting Equations 4.7 into sequencequantities by using Equations 4.1 and 4.2, then:
