1.0 Coordination

SGC/Senergy was contracted by Leighton, LLC to complete a coordination analysis of the
generator step up transformer protection. This analysis includes the transformer high
side fuse, the transformer damage curve, and the transformer low side breaker
protection. This does not include the generator breaker protection since the setting
configuration and coordination with the kiosk transformer low voltage circuit breaker
protection is the responsibility of GE. From the study, it was found that proper
coordination was achieved for fault currents less than 10,000 amps. The results are
discussed in more detail below.

2.0 CLIENT PROVIDED DATA / ASSUMPTIONS

Data was provided to SGC/Senergy to create a system short circuit model in the Aspen
software to complete a coordination study for Salkhit Wind Farm. The same model was
used to complete the generator step-up transformer protection coordination. For the
assumptions to develop the original model, please reference the protection study report
titled 2013-11-04 Salkhit Wind Farm Protection Study. In addition to this data, the
transformer low side breaker protection was provided to determine if proper
coordination between the high side transformer fuse and the low side breaker protection
was achieved. The data provided includes the transformer low side breaker manual
(See Appendix A) and the settings from the breaker control. The settings provided from
the breaker control are as follows:

Long Time Trip:
I
r
= 2,000 Amps = 100.0% I
n

Curve Type = I
2
t
Time Delay = C2
Cooling Time = Instantaneous

Short Time Trip:
Inverse Time Trip = 4.0 x I
r
= 8,000 amps
Inverse Time Delay = C2 and 0.19 seconds at 6 x I
r
or 12,000 amps
Fixed Time Trip = 3.0 x I
r
= 6,000 amps
Fixed Time Delay = 0.4 seconds

Instantaneous Trip:
Instantaneous Trip = 5 x I
r
= 10,000 amps

These three components make up the protection curve for the transformer low side
breaker and are all included on the graph in Figure 1. In this figure, curve A is the
transformer damage curve, curve 1 is the fixed time portion of the short time trip curve,
curve 2 is the inverse time curve for the short time trip curve, curve 3 is the long time

curve and the instantaneous curve combined, and curve 4 is transformer high side fuse
curve.

3.0 COORDINATION ANALYSIS

The coordination curves are shown in Figure 1 on the next page. Note that curves 1, 2,
and 3 are the curves representing the transformer low side breaker protection. Curve 2
represents the short term inverse curve and is well above all other protection and will
never trip the breaker. The long term inverse curve (curve 3) is below the high side
fuse curve and properly coordinates with the fuse. This curve intersects the short term
definite time curve (curve 1) at 6,000 amps. Since the definite time curve operates
faster than the time portion of curve 3, this element takes over from 6,000 amps until
10,000 amps. This portion of the protection also properly coordinates with the high side
fuse. At 10,000 amps, the definite time curve intersects the instantaneous portion of
curve 3, and since the instantaneous curve operates faster than curve 1, it takes over
from 10,000 amps on. The instantaneous curve properly coordinates with the high side
fuse until the acceptable time margin for proper coordination of 0.3 seconds is reached
at approximately 12,000 amps. At this point, the high side fuse may be impacted even
though the instantaneous element picks up first. Thus, proper coordination is achieved
between the transformer low side breaker and the transformer high side fuse for all fault
currents below 12,000 amps. For fault currents greater than 12,000 amps, it is possible
that the transformer high side fuses and low side breaker may both operate.

Based on the GE generator breaker instantaneous setting of 8,000 amps as shown on
GEs setting drawing in Appendix B, it is possible that the transformer and generator
breakers will both trip instantaneously for all fault currents greater than 10,000 amps.

From this analysis, the transformer low side breaker properly coordinates with the
transformer high side fuse for most available fault current. For bolted faults exceeding
10,000 amps, more than one device may operate, but will still provide adequate
equipment protection. However, short of using a fuse type with different characteristics,
the transformer low side breaker coordination cannot be improved on.
