Below are the key concepts: 1. Protection Systems Protection systems are designed to detect faults and isolate affected sections to prevent damage and ensure continuity of supply. a. Types of Faults Short Circuits: Occur due to insulation failure or accidental contact between conductors. Overloads: Excessive current flow beyond the rated capacity. Earth Faults: Leakage of current to the ground. Transient Faults: Temporary faults caused by lightning or switching operations. b. Protective Relays Protective relays detect abnormal conditions and trigger circuit breakers to disconnect faulty sections. Common types include: Overcurrent Relays: Detect excessive current. Distance Relays: Measure impedance changes to locate faults. Differential Relays: Compare current between two points to detect internal faults. c. Circuit Breakers Devices that interrupt high-voltage circuits during faults. Types include: Air Circuit Breakers (ACB) Oil Circuit Breakers (OCB) SF₆ Circuit Breakers (use sulfur hexafluoride gas) Vacuum Circuit Breakers (VCB) d. Fuses and Surge Arresters Fuses: Protect against short circuits by melting under excessive current. Surge Arresters: Divert excess voltage (e.g., from lightning) to the ground. 2. Control Systems Control mechanisms ensure the proper operation of high-voltage circuits, balancing demand and supply while maintaining system stability. a. Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) Monitors and controls power system components remotely. Provides real-time data on voltage, current, and frequency. b. Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) Maintains voltage levels within acceptable limits using transformer tap changers or capacitor banks. #electricalwork, #electricalindustry,#electricaldesign, #electricalenergy, #electricalmaintenance, #electricalinstallation, #electric, #electricaltesting, #elearning,##electricalwork, #electricalprotection, #electricaldesign#electricalengineering, #electricalwork, #electricalindustry,#electricaldesign, #electricalenergy, #electricalmaintenance, #electricalinstallation, #electric, #electricaltesting, #elearning,##electricalwork, #electricalprotection, #electricaldesignengineer, #electricalcontractor, #electricalwork,#safetymanual
