I. Discussion and deliberations of the Group:
a. Tripping at 26-09-2014 at 15:50 hrs
1. It was informed by KPCL representative that that B-phase to earth fault had occurred
in 220kV Kadra-Kodasalli line. Main-2 distance relay (PZ1000) had sensed the fault
in zone-2, but backup e/f relay operated at Kodsalli end. The fault in B-phase was
initially a high resistance fault as the voltage dip was very less and fault current was
around 1.2kA. The fault current was observed to be gradually increasing. This was
verified with the relay event log. The issue of trip command from Mian-1 relay could
not be confirmed from the relay event log. Main-1 relay (Quadramho) is faulty at
Kodasalli end.
2. At Kadra end it was told that the Main-2 relay (PZ1000) had sensed the fault in zone-
1. However it was observed from the relay event log that the gradually increasing
fault current was persisting for around 380 ms. Time at which distance relay picked
up and issued trip could not be verified as D.R was not available.
3. 220kV Kaiga-Kadra line and 220kV Kaiga-Kodasalli line tripped from Kaiga end at
328ms and 400 ms respectively.
4. The 220kV Nagjheri-Kodasalli lines were kept in open condition from Nagjheri end.
5. The running unit at Kodasalli tripped due to tripping of evacuating lines. Hence bus
dead condition occurred at Kodasalli and Kadra.
6. The Prefault and Post fault conditions were depicted as below.

2
b. Tripping at 05-10-2014 at 17:22 hrs
1. B-phase to earth fault had occurred in 220kV Kadra-Kodasalli line. This was a
gradually developing high resistance fault. Zone-2 had picked up at Kadra and
Kodasalli but did not trip. 220kV Kaiga-Kadra and 220kV Kaiga-Kodasalli lines
tripped from Kaiga end on distance protection zone-2 in 300ms and 400ms
respectively.
2. The 220kV Nagjheri-Kodasalli lines were kept in open condition from Nagjheri end.
3. The running unit at Kodasalli tripped due to tripping of evacuating lines. Hence bus
dead condition occurred at Kodasalli and Kadra.
4. The Prefault and Post fault conditions were depicted as below.

3
c.Tripping at 14-10-2014 at 15:18 hrs
1. As informed by KPCL representative that distance protection zone-2, B-phase had
operated at Kodasalli end. Fault was cleared from Kadra end. The time of zone-2
pickup and trip could not be verified due to the absence of D.R. Back up earth fault
operated at Kadra end.
2. Two units were in operation at Kodasalli.
3. 220kV Kaiga-Kodasalli tripped from Kaiga end on operation of distance protection
Zone-3, B-phase at Kaiga. Fault was observed to be persistent for 560 milli seconds.
4. The running Unit at 220kV Kodasalli power house tripped as 220kV lines connected
from Kodasalli to Kadra and Kaiga tripped and 220kV Nagjheri line-1&2 were kept
out of service. This resulted in de-energization of 220kV bus at Kodasalli power
house. Generation loss was 74 MW.
5. The Prefault and Post fault conditions were depicted as below.

II. Recommendations of PSAG-10 & Follow up for Kadra and
Kodasalli Generating Stations (KPCL).
S.NO Recommendation To be Implement

1 The PSAG-10 members recommended to replace the KPCL in Latest by
Main I (Q21 static Quadramho relay -SHPM 101) coordination December,

having DR and EL features.
2 The PSAG group also advised KPCL to test the KPCL in Latest by
Main II Relay (PZ1000 numerical relay) at the coordination December,
earliest . with KPTCL 2014.
3 The PSAG group recommended to have a uniform KPCL in Completed
Zone II time settings as agreed in the Tripartite coordination on
meeting of KPCL, KPTCL and Kaiga (NPCIL) held with KPTCL 12.11.2014
during 11th& 12th of December, 2013) in the Kaiga – .
Kali Complex.
KPCL informed that they had revised their Zone
II time settings from 350 ms to 300 ms in all the
lines connected to Kadra, Kodasalli and Kaiga
Power House.
4 The Resistive reach of distance protection relay of KPCL in Latest by
Kadra – Kodasalli (both ends), Kadra – Karwar I, coordination 21.11.2014
Kadra – Karwar II (Kadra end), Kodasalli – with KPTCL
Nagjheri I, Kodasalli – Nagjheri II (both ends) lines
to be increased so as to operate on high resistance
faults within the permissible limits .
Since the present settings are prone to under reach
and initiating unwanted tripping at the other
locations, PSAG has recommended to suitably
increase the resistive reach of all the lines. PSAG
advised KPCL to revise the settings at the earliest.
5 PSAG recommended to make the carrier aided KPCL in Latest by
protection functional for 220kV Kadra-Kodasalli, coordination December,
220kV Kadra-Kaiga and 220kV Kodasalli-Kaiga with KPTCL 2014
lines.
In addition, since most of the faults are seen as high
resistance fault, PSAG suggested to revise the
existing PUR to POR scheme for all the lines at Kali
complex.
6 The PSAG group noted that most of the faults were By KPTCL Regularly
in the ‘B’ Phase (of RYB) to ground faults. The / As and
group observed that it may be due to thick when
vegetation below Kadra – Kodasalli, Kadra – Kaiga, needed.
Kodasalli - Kaiga line.
Hence the PSAG group members advised to have
regular thorough line patrolling and clearing the
corridor (i.e. Right Of Way).

 7 PSAG had recommended to have a uniform setting KPCL in Latest by
for the backup earth fault protection (67N) provided coordination 21.11.2014
through distance relay (i.e PZ1000) and separate with KPTCL
back up earth fault relay (CDD21 of English
Electric, electro mechanical) immediately.
8 The PSAG group advised to disable the phase over KPCL in Latest by
current protection in distance relays (i.e PZ1000 of coordination 21.11.2014
CSPC make) immediately. with KPTCL
9 KPCL informed that installation of GPS for time KPCL As
synchronization of all relays and other protection reported
devices is under process. KPCL is requested to earlier.
expedite the same.
10 It is suggested to check timings (opening and KPCL Periodically
closing) on Kadra line CB test at Kodasalli station
periodically and the record of checking to be
maintained in the substation.
11 It was observed that Kodasalli – Nagjheri I & II lines KPTCL / SLDC Latest by
were kept open at Nagjheri end on 26.09.2014, 21.11.2014
5.10.2014 & 14.10.2014 during bus dead conditions
at Kodasalli station. KPTCL (SLDC) is requested to
clarify /review the issue.
12 The DR and EL data of the line/unit tripping shall be KPCL/KPTCL/ As per the
made available for analysis at station level / SLDC NPCIL IEGC (i.e.
/SRLDC/SRPC level. within 24
Hours)

The action/steps taken by KPCL/KPTCL in implementing the

recommendation / review of protection coordination settings as
suggested by PSAG-10 to avoid the similar Grid Disturbance may
please be reported to SRPC Secretariat on or before the 38th PCSC
meeting (scheduled on 27.11.2014) through e-mail / fax latest by
25.11.2014.

end during over voltage tripping’s. direct trip is received from remote substation. To prevent
continuous direct trip signal from Kaiga to remote substation,
logic modification in trip lockout relay circuit will have to be
made, this will result in bypassing of some of the line protections.
Hence it is not possible to make any modification in existing
scheme.
To trigger DR in case of over voltage Presently KGS end DTR triggering is enabled whenever direct trip
