When the line isolator is open and the voltage from

cvt to
distance relay is absent and the bus isolator and
breaker
are closed; if a fault occurs between the line isolator
and
the ct a feature in dist. relay called stub protection
which is an instatanious none diretional oc relay
sends
trip command to breaker.This is usually in test and
service
conditions.

above written is right, one more thing stub protection

will
be active only when it get the status of line isolator as
open.

stub protection is used to protect the part of one and

half breaker scheme which is not protected by
distance protection.
it is active only when line isolator is open, and there is
no voltage from cvt for distance protection.it is an over
current relay which sense the fault and trip bus
breaker under such condition.

During a line open condition with the station breakers

closed, the bus between the station breakers and line
disconnect for ring bus and breaker and a half/third
configurations may not be protected. The line
protection
system shall be capable of protecting the open stub
through
the use of overcurrent protection. This protection shall

also function correctly for the case where the potential

transformers for the line protection are located on the
line side of line disconnect whether or not the line is
energized from the remote end.

When the line isolator is in open condition in between

ct &
line isolator protection is called stub protection.when
the
line isolator open condition then only stub protection
enable,
if it's line isolator closed protection it will not check
distance protection relay operation required voltage
so that

without voltage it will not operate ,so that time going

to
fourth stage of over current it will happen only at the
time
of ct saturation (or) surge.

In one and half circuit breaker scheme,when the bus

bar side
CB opened ,the area between central/tie breaker and
bus bar
side breaker is called stub area where only voltages
are
available but no current flowing i.e tee branch.When a
fault
occurs in this area the over current element of bus bar
protection activated which after time delay i.e 100ms,
trip
the central breaker and also send direct transfer trip
signal to remote end feeder to isolate the faulty area.

STUB PROTECTION IS USED AGAIST THE

POSSIBLE FOR THE
UNPROTECTED ISOLATOR WITH EARTH SWITCH
