Question 2
(a) An engineer is required to design a protection scheme for the power system as shown in Figure Q2a below that meets the following requirement. Assume electrical power flows from left to right.
M - current transrormer
Figure Q2a
i) Draw the zone of protection and state the protection principle in your design.
ii) Explain the reason for your choice of main and back-up protection.
(b) A 50 MVA generator is supplying a 33 kV single feeder network. The current transformer ratio for relays A and B, and its I.D.M.T.L. relays are shown in the Figure Q2b below. The relay B is set at \(125\%\) plug setting and 0.1 time multiplier setting. If the three-phase fault level at the outgoing feeder from \( B \) is 300 MVA , find the suitable plug setting and time multiplier setting of relay A in order to achieve a minimum discriminative time margin of 0.4 second.
