Bus Protection Panel

Busbar Protection Panel

Sanion’s 154kV busbar protection panel, which is developed and manufactured by pure domestic technology, consists of multiple bay units (BU) which monitor the current of each feeders connected to the busbar and collect status information of circuit breakers and disconnecting switches. It also consists of a central unit (CU) which performs current differential protection by using the current values and status information received from the bus. In addition, CU measures the voltage of each busbar to use it for fault detection.

Definition

  • A busbar is one of the power system facilities in the substation, which concentrates and re-distributes electric power by connecting transmission lines and transformer banks. In case of a busbar fault, the fault current is very large. If the fault learing gets delayed, it migt be extended to a much wider range of faults.

    There are various types of busbar structures such as radial type, ring type or double type busbar. Among these types, double busbar is most widey used because it is able to shorten fault duration and provide high reliability and good maintainability. In particular, 345kV class adapts 1.5CB structure in which 3 circuit breakers are placed between the two busbars. 154kV busbar protection panel provides current differential protection function to ensure fast and accurate fault detection in a double busbar structure and to isolate faults and safely protect the busbar.

    Busbar protection function is internally divided into the separate zone (zone 1 or 2) protection to detect busbar with a fault. The entire busbar protection detects which part of the busbar has a fault. For example, if both entire busbar protection and separate protection for zone 1 detect a fault, the busbar protection function determines that a fault has occurred on No. 1 busbar.
