Bus faults involve highest fault currents in the system and require
quick clearance
With out bus bar protection fault is to be cleared by back up
protections of equipments and lines. This involves time delay of up to
0.5 sec. which is for Zone 2 delay of line at far end and up to 0.8
sec.for Generator / Transformer back up protections. This delay with
high fault currents results in loss of system stability, danger to
equipments feeding the faults etc.
When fault is isolated on back up protections all equipments and
lines connected to entire bus system will trip out and cause large
scale outage which may result in system black outs. Bus
sectionalizing, double bus etc arrangements will not be put to full
use.
When bus bar protection is provided only faulty isolatable section of
the bus is isolated retaining other sections minimizing the outage

The decay filter out put and rectified out puts are compared continuously and if
decay filter out put is more than rectified, then out put pulses are generated. With no
saturation the pulse width is very less and with saturation the pulse width is more in
which case it is detected as CT saturation and blocking command is given
Local Breaker Back up protection
Function
Whenever the intended breaker on command from the relay fails to
trip to trip all such breakers connected to the same section of the bus
thus isolating the faulted equipment
Also called as Struck breaker protection / Breaker failure relay
The intended breaker may fail to trip due to
Loss of DC supply to breaker, Loss of breaker air or gas supply,
breaker mechanism fault, faulty contact of trip relay
Failure of intended breaker to trip will cause
Continued fault feeding to the equipment and consequent damage to
them
Fire hazards etc.
Hence LBB protection is provided for all EHV and large
equipments / systems
