– Which power analyzer is best for Harmonic measurement? I need to measure Harmonics order’s magnitudes and phase angle.
– Fluke 1735
– Fluke 434

Which power companies are using the whole IEC61850 (Sample Value, GOOSE, and MMS) in their substations? or are they just adept GOOSE and MMS only? The CT and PT are still conventional types?

– How to check this relay?
– the setting is 20%

Inject the current above that value and check the trip time. Pick up and all.
– How to test locked rotor in Easergy p3 g32 relay?
– How do know the TMS and type of curve of this overcurrent relay? how to Calculate the time of tripping?
…3-sec normal inverse curve.
– TMS 0.2
– Would you please explain?
– How do you get it?
-100% IDMT settings. 800% instantaneous setting.
– Check there I don’t know what to call them, those toggle switch which side they are selected just sum it, And multiply by the factors mentioned and you will get the setting.
– For the left side instant setting
200 + (2+1) 200 = 800 % For TMS 0.12= 0.2

-The upper two are for different purposes.
– Different tables are mentioned over there Just check the S 1 -8 no. And then see the upper two toggle positions.
– I hope it is clear to you.

– We have two transformers (66/11.5 kV, 50/55 MVA, 600A NGR earthed on the 11.5kV side). There is two incomer-one bus coupler scheme at 11kV bus.
– Due to some constraints, we are not able to get a 66 kV supply from the grid. However, 11kV direct supply is offered by the grid for no-load charging at an 11kV bus from the identical transformer on the grid side.
– Please revert with technical constraints related to the subject.
– Hi everyone, l hope you are well, and safe; could you share ” relay coordination and setting for substation 230/400kv(excel sheet+ explanation) thanks in advanced.

– We are facing one issue in one of the plants that we have laid 3Core 400 Sq.mm 22KV XLPE cable to provide power supply to one of the small production units. The cable length is approximately 2500Mtrs and the state electricity board has implemented KVAH billing now. So the problem is even though there are zero loads at receiving end source end meter shows 40KVAH apparent power and 40KVAR reactive power. Is it because of cable capacitance? If yes what is the solution to avoid the same?

– As KVAH billing is implemented it is directly impacting cost very heavily.

– Can experts give your valuable inputs on this.
– Since it is a cable then it will be generating ” VAR”.. hence it is not possible 40 kVAH & 40 kVAR
– there is a chance of a cable charging current. Once check with the leakage meter in the secondary side of metering MFM, check how much leakage current is showing. And also ensure whether c.t wiring is connected properly or not it means the metering core of c.t is to be connected to meter only and also protection core of c.t is always connected to be relaid. I think the only possibility is to charge current.
– We have checked the wiring and it doesn’t have any issue. Also, we have removed the cable earthing at one end which was connected to both ends earlier. But still, the problem persists.
– Check cable insulation.
– Pls share the SLD with CT location.. and also cable parameters.
– Is it a cable feeder or it is connected through a transformer at your end and of course power provider end power factor to be confirmed.
– I think it is OK, the cable is 2.5km long, 40kVAR is 1 amp at 22kV. Who can explain why it is wrong?
– Hi team, I want to know which electrical software is better to learn to come into the design side?
– If anyone from the design side or if anyone knows better share the knowledge so it will be helpful to someone who doesn’t know.

– 1I need the ERL LPRO4500 relay setting calculation sheet, if anyone has, pls send it.
– How to calculate REF fault current for transformer
-I injected the same current in all phases but it tripped in earth fault
-Why does this happen I checked the wiring it’s fine
– You check the star point of internal CT
– Injected directly at relay backside
– Check the phase angles
– It must be 0, 240 and 120
– Apply three current with the same magnitude and zero phase angle and check N current
– For earth, fault inject individual phase with phase angle 0 degrees. The phase angle is ok
– Which relay is this..?? Line protection..??
– simple over Current and earth fault only
– Can u share a pic of the relay showing phase angles while injecting a 3phase balanced current?
– Relay CT terminal neutral loop wrong
– Got corrected it was a mistake in setting
– How to calculate CT size for motor hp please suggest me
– Sizing of CT should include 120% of FLA and peak fault saturation and sub transient for dynamic half cycle


-Anyone in the group has an idea about microgrid relaying protection?
– Do anyone knows about Schnider ltmr relay custom logic preparation?
-No you can’t connect. Because the Current will flow on a low resistance path only. If you used 0-500 tap for R1. The same core you can’t connect R2.
– You can connect two relays in serious on a single adequate tap and configure accordingly. But don’t connect two relays in parallel, as boopathi said, the current will flow on a low resistance path. If it’s a high impedance differential protection, then don’t share the CT.
– And relay may malfunction due to the current magnitude flow into 2 different relays and the direction of the current subject type of protection.
– Can’t we use the same tap for overcurrent and then in series for high impedance REF? Not on different taps but on different cores
-In the REF phase and Neutral CTs are connected in such a way that current is nullified. So it is not possible to use over current with REF.
– In a High impedance circuit, stabilizing resistor and metrosil will be part of the ct circuit, so it’s not advisable to combine both in the same ct core
– Actually, we have commissioned many projects like this. The only thing we extended inputs to overcurrent element first then conjugated with neutral ct adding metrosil and stabilization resistance and fed to REF element.
– Technically we don’t find any issue. Maybe you have any practical experience, please share for taking care. Phase ct and neutral ct should be paralleled in such a way that the current is nullified during normal conditions. Further, how the OC relay will get the correct measurement with a high impedance circuit? Please check your secondary circuits
– High impedance coil input to relay is dedicated and it is voltage-operated although we give current as an input. However, OC elements core must be different than high Z core.
-Are you using RET 670 relay?
– Technically not correct. It may work but note that REF opération depand on CT magnétisation characteristics. It can malfunction also. REF should not operate for external faults. This is RET 670 relay CT connection for REF and over current used

– I support everyone’s input if the overcurrent element is not in the relay and phase CT star point is not made thru the relay and parallel with neutral ct.
– It all depends on the relay features and how you are making start point phase CTs.
Thanks for all your inputs.
– Hi do anyone have abb ret 543 relay communication software
– What should be the value of coil current taken by a trip coil of the breaker?
– 400 kV GE make Breaker
– Nonmagnetic cable gland is required in single-core DC cables?

– I am facing a problem with the abb rel670 relay. When the line is charged condition with both main and tie breakers in close position. If we open the main breaker, abb rel 670 is sending DT on another end. But we check the DT send logic, it is ok we checked it by taking a shutdown.
– What will be the problem?
– This is the normal logic for DT. DT is for Over Voltage, Manual Open, LBB, and Busbar trip.
– On manual-open main CB, DT will send only if tie CB is already open
– Ok. Tie CB status is given to this relay? But here the problem is when is in charged condition with both main & tie CB in the closed condition when we open the main CB only DT is sending
– Normally REL670 will not mal operate. I think there may be an issue with the logic.
– You check online signal monitoring and find out which outputs are energized during that time

– main incomer breaker of capacitor bank get trips by using relay when the power factor exceeds 0.86. The capacitor banks are newly installed. What May the reason for capacitor banks to draw more current
– Did u check each capacitor’s bank-wise currents?
– Check the load settings of the breaker.
– We are using Tapcon 320 expert in one of our sites, in which we are trying to communicate the Tapcon using the ethernet port. During which link/activity light is not glowing in ethernet port. Tapcon is showing error event 38. No connection to the communication interface card. Communication info is showing as blank; no version available in the Tapcon

These days can’t perform many of the required analyzes in electrical networks without using the relevant engineering software. Therefore, engineering software has been very effective in industrial environments. One of the most famous software is ETAP which is used in the analysis of distribution networks in industrial Plants and is made by the Operational Technology company. In this training package, in addition to collecting the required technical information in an attractive multimedia environment, various analyzes, and how to do them using ETAP software are presented practically.

ETAP has been designed and developed for engineers to study different aspects of power systems in one integrated package.

This course is structured into 4 chapters, with theory and practical examples. It is designed for protection engineers to understand the power system, short circuit concept, protection, and coordination.

Chapter 1, part 01: overviews different tools in ETAP with an example. ETAP offers a suite of fully integrated electrical engineering software solutions including load flow, short circuit, protection and coordination, harmonic analysis, transient stability, cable ampacity, arc flash, optimal power flow, and more. Some of these tools may not be required in our study. So we should know which part is the most important tool for us. This part overviews different parts of ETAP before starting the course. In this way, we can find the main tools and parts on which we should focus on.

Chapter 1, part 02: An introduction to ETAP software. We start with creating a new project and explaining different toolbars and menus in ETAP.

Chapter 1, part 03: This part overviews the main parameters of a busbar, 2 winding transformers, and 3 winding transformers.

Chapter 1, part 04: Overview of the main parameters of a transmission line and cable.

Chapter 1, part 05: overviews the main parameters of a static load, lumped load, and power grind.

Chapter 2, Part 01: shows how to study parameters with load flow analysis. To do so, we run a load flow analysis on a simple one-line diagram and study the effect of different parameters.

Chapter 2, Part 02: overviews the load flow study case and plot option settings.

Chapter 2, Part 03: presents a practice to understand the parameters of load, equipment cable, busbar, cable, and transformer deeply. Then it presents load flow and load analyzer tools.

Chapter 2, part 04: overviews the main parameters of low voltage circuit breaker and high voltage circuit breaker.

Chapter 2, part 05: overviews the main parameters of an induction machine and how to model an induction machine in three different methods.

Chapter 2, part 06: overviews the main parameters of a synchronous generator.

Chapter 2, Part 07: presents a practice to understand the parameters of an induction machine and a synchronous generator deeply.

Chapter 2, Part 08: presents how to remove the critical alarm. To do so CB overload, cable overload, and transformer overload alerts have been removed. To remove these alerts, we should know how to do cable sizing and transformer sizing in ETAP.

Chapter 3, Part 01: shows the effect of different parameters in the short circuit current. An induction motor can inject current to a grid even more than an equivalent generator, this part show this concept in ETAP.

Chapter 3, Part 02: explains the settings in the short circuit analysis. To explain the parameters of short circuit analysis and understand the short circuit modeling in ETAP, we have simulated an AG fault in PSCAD.

Chapter 3, Part 03: presents several duties and tools in short circuit analysis mode.

Chapter 4, Part 01: overviews the elements which are related to relay protection and coordination.

Chapter 4, Part 02: shows overcurrent parameters in ETAP and relay configurations software. The setting of overcurrent relays (P121 and distance relay SEL 421) are shown in the configuration software (Esergy studio and AcSELerator quick set software).

Chapter 4, Part 03: In this part, three-phase voltage and currents are injected into the SEL 421 with a secondary test kit (Omicron CMC 256) to explain the values in a relay and test the intravenous overcurrent function.

Chapter 4, Part 04: presents how to calculate the CT ratio and time delay overcurrent elements (Ansi 51). Then the coordination between two relays is explained with the help of start view tools.

Chapter 4, Part 05: the coordination between three relays and how to test the coordination with the help of the sequence viewer tool are presented.

Chapter 4, Part 06: This part explains the plot option parameters in the Star View.

Chapter 4, Part 07: This part explains how to set instantaneous overcurrent parameters (ANSI 50).

ETAP has been designed and developed for engineers to study different aspects of power systems in one integrated package. This course is structured into 4 chapters, with theory and practical examples. It is designed for protection engineers to understand the power system, short circuit concept, protection, and coordination.

Chapter 1, part 01: overviews different tools in ETAP with an example. ETAP offers a suite of fully integrated electrical engineering software solutions including load flow, short circuit, protection and coordination, harmonic analysis, transient stability, cable ampacity, arc flash, optimal power flow, and more. Some of these tools may not be required in our study. So we should know which part is the most important tool for us. This part overviews different parts of ETAP before starting the course. In this way, we can find the main tools and parts on which we should focus on.

Chapter 1, part 02: An introduction to ETAP software. We start with creating a new project and explaining different toolbars and menus in ETAP.

Chapter 1, part 03: This part overviews the main parameters of a busbar, 2 winding transformers, and 3 winding transformers.

Chapter 1, part 04: Overview of the main parameters of a transmission line and cable.

Chapter 1, part 05: overviews the main parameters of a static load, lumped load, and power grind.

Chapter 2, Part 01: shows how to study parameters with load flow analysis. To do so, we run a load flow analysis on a simple one-line diagram and study the effect of different parameters.

Chapter 2, Part 02: overviews the load flow study case and plot option settings.

Chapter 2, Part 03: presents a practice to understand the parameters of load, equipment cable, busbar, cable, and transformer deeply. Then it presents load flow and load analyzer tools.

Chapter 2, part 04: overviews the main parameters of low voltage circuit breaker and high voltage circuit breaker.

Chapter 2, part 05: overviews the main parameters of an induction machine and how to model an induction machine in three different methods.

Chapter 2, part 06: overviews the main parameters of a synchronous generator.

Chapter 2, Part 07: presents a practice to understand the parameters of an induction machine and a synchronous generator deeply.

Chapter 2, Part 08: presents how to remove the critical alarm. To do so CB overload, cable overload, and transformer overload alerts have been removed. To remove these alerts, we should know how to do cable sizing and transformer sizing in ETAP.

Chapter 3, Part 01: shows the effect of different parameters in the short circuit current. An induction motor can inject current to a grid even more than an equivalent generator, this part show this concept in ETAP.

Chapter 3, Part 02: explains the settings in the short circuit analysis. To explain the parameters of short circuit analysis and understand the short circuit modeling in ETAP, we have simulated an AG fault in PSCAD.

Chapter 3, Part 03: presents several duties and tools in short circuit analysis mode.

Chapter 4, Part 01: overviews the elements which are related to relay protection and coordination.

Chapter 4, Part 02: shows overcurrent parameters in ETAP and relay configurations software. The setting of overcurrent relays (P121 and distance relay SEL 421) are shown in the configuration software (Esergy studio and AcSELerator quick set software).

Chapter 4, Part 03: In this part, three-phase voltage and currents are injected into the SEL 421 with a secondary test kit (Omicron CMC 256) to explain the values in a relay and test the intravenous overcurrent function.

Chapter 4, Part 04: presents how to calculate the CT ratio and time delay overcurrent elements (Ansi 51). Then the coordination between two relays is explained with the help of start view tools.

Chapter 4, Part 05: the coordination between three relays and how to test the coordination with the help of the sequence viewer tool are presented.

Chapter 4, Part 06: This part explains the plot option parameters in the Star View.

Chapter 4, Part 07: This part explains how to set instantaneous overcurrent parameters (ANSI 50).

Chapter 4, Part 08: presents how to calculate overture ground elements in ETAP and how to set these parameters in the relay.

Chapter 4, Part 09: This part presents how to add a proper fuse to a feeder and coordinate the relays with the fuse.

Chapter 4, Part 10: This part explains the protection page of the main elements and how to protect an element with an overcurrent element.

Chapter 4, Part 11: This part presents helpful tools in the protection and coordination study room.
