PROTECTION IS INSTALLED TO :
Detect fault occurrence and isolate the faulted equipment.
SO THAT :
Damage to the faulted equipment is limited;
Disruption of supplies to adjacent un-faulted equipment is
minimized.
Summary :
Protection must :
Detect faults and abnormal operating conditions;
Isolate the faulted equipment.
So as to :
Limit damage caused by fault energy;
Limit effect on rest of system.

Protection must operate when required to
Failure to operate can be extremely
damaging and disruptive
Faults are rare : Protection must operate
even after years of inactivity
Improved by use of : Back-up protection
and duplicate protection

DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS
Large numbers of switching and distribution points,
transformers and feeders
TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS
Emphasis is on technical considerations rather than economics
Economics cannot be ignored but is of secondary importance
compared with the need for highly reliable, fully discriminative
high speed protection
Higher protection costs justifiable by high capital cost of power
system elements protected
Risk of security of supply should be reduced to lowest practical
levels
High speed protection requires unit protection
Duplicate protections used to improve reliability
Single phase tripping and auto-reclose may be required to
maintain system stability
