Tripping Arrangements
Protection Systems will be grouped in two different systems Group A & B Both systems will be connected with different DC supplies for redundancy & to enable protection system maintenance with the equipment live Group A & B will be electrically separated & physically segregated except relays associated with the CBs Direct Inter trip receive contacts are duplicated in both the Groups A & B Main 1 & Main 2 Protections give trip impulses to Single Phase trip units of respective CB Poles & All other protections give trip impulses to three phase trip units of respective Breakers

DC Supply Arrangements
Each bay will have dual DC supplies for protection & control purposes with individual DC supervision systems DC Supply one is for Main 1 protection relays & respective trip circuits and control schemes,
DC Supply two is for Main 2 & respective trip circuits, Backup, Bay control system and CB auxiliary supplies
In addition to this one separate DC circuit may be provided for alarm & signalling purposes

3.Implementation using numerical relays
The Connection of relay A should be made in such a way that it detects the discontinuity of Trip circuit. It is desired to have the trip circuit supervision relay to be as a last equipment in the circuit) The Trip circuit healthy contact is wired on circuit breaker closing circuit to make sure the CB trip circuit is health/available to trip The alarm supply should be independent of tripping supply so that the indication is obtained in the event of a failure in the tripping supply

Supervision
Master Trip Relay Supervision
The Tripping relays are important components of the trip systems DC Supply will be supervised by a No Volt relay for each trip relay
Both the DC supplies will be supervised For Static & Numerical multifunction relays it is very important to monitor the self supervision watch dog contacts, to indicate any failures occurring in the relays internal circuits

Types of Inter tripping
To ensure that protection at both the ends of faulted circuits operate to isolate the equipment

Inter tripping
Points to consider
The system protection interface shall provide the DTT send initiation inputs from external trip contacts DTT signaling equipment should have switching and test facilities.
Operation of the tripping outputs shall be conditioned by the line Disconnector auxiliary switch on banked and teed circuits.
The trip output contacts will have sufficient rating to activate the following

To isolate certain functions/circuits without removing any wiring & to carry out Maintenance activities
Examples
To isolate the relays from the Primary Plant circuits (Current, Voltage, DC & Trip circuits) It facilitates the short circuiting of CT secondary circuits to allow the secondary injection testing of the relays

Transfer buses are designed for on load bypassing of circuit breakers CB Maintenance can be done without Load interruption The protection needs to be transferred to Transfer Bus Coupler & is done through Trip transfer switch The following also needs to be selected LBB of TBC is to be initiated. Auto Reclose initiation and lockout of TBC. The line voltage has to be taken to TBC for synchronising

Transfer buses are designed for on load bypassing of circuit breakers for maintenance from the Main Bus to transfer Bus CB & CT Maintenance can be done without Load interruption Protection is not affected , so no trip transfer switch required Inter tripping needs to be re routed to TBC

Required in double busbar Substations when Bus voltage transformers are used Achieved using set of Voltage selection relays VTs are not to be paralleled due to the fact that the difference in secondary voltage can cause circulating current between the VTs cause the winding to over heat. However for distance protection schemes momentary paralleling of VTs is essential for the protection stability The schemes can be built using self reset or using electrical reset relays In some cases the selection can be done manually through Selector Switches

Output Relays
Variety of electrical outputs provided in relays for tripping, interlocking and remote indication purposes
Majority of the applications employ self reset type contacts Hand reset types are required when it is necessary to maintain a signal or lockout condition.
Some of the protection relays having high speed tripping contacts for direct tripping of Circuit breakers
Relay contacts are not designed to break the Circuit breaker trip coil currents
