SEL-387 (4 current sets), SEL-387B (6, can be combined with three units for total of 18), CA-16 is an older electromechanical type bus dif relay. I'm not familiar with other brands, but there are many others made by ABB, GE, etc.

The purpose of the bus bar protection unit is to isolate any bus by tripping its contactor or isolate a faulty bus in the variable ac system?

The Bus Bar is (usually 3, or 4) solid copper bars that run through an MCC (Motor Control Center) and just supply power to the individual 'buckets' (compartments that contain the individual motor starters). The only protection for a bus bar would be from the 'Panelboard', or 'Switchboard' breaker that feeds the bus bar mounted in a separate MCC. Make Sense???, let me know if not...

Why the impedance of infinite bus bar is zero?

...because it is an infinite bus bar, meaning it can supply infinite current. By Ohm's law, since the voltage at the bus bar is fixed, to have infinite current, you must have a zero impedance.


What is relay coil?

An electrical device, typically incorporating an electromagnet, which is activated by a current or signal in one circuit to open or close another circuit.Based on Characteristic the protection relay can be categorized as-Definite time relaysInverse time relays with definite minimum time(IDMT)Instantaneous relays.IDMT with inst.Stepped characteristic.Programmed switches.Voltage restraint over current relay.Based on of logic the protection relay can be categorized as-Differential.Unbalance.Neutral displacement.Directional.Restricted earth fault.Over fluxing.Distance schemes.Bus bar protection.Reverse power relays.Loss of excitation.Negative phase sequence relays etc.Based on actuating parameter the protection relay can be categorized as-Current relays.Voltage relays.Frequency relays.Power relays etc.Based on application the protection relay can be categorized as-Primary relay.Backup relay.Primary relay or primary protection relay is the first line of power system protection whereas backup relay is operated only when primary relay fails to be operated during fault. Hence backup relay is slower in action than primary relay. Any relay may fail to be operated due to any of the following reasons,The protective relay itself is defective.DC Trip voltage supply to the relay is unavailable.Trip lead from relay panel to circuit breaker is disconnected.Trip coil in the circuit breaker is disconnected or defective.Current or voltage signals from CT or PT respectively is unavailable.As because backup relay operates only when primary relay fails, backup protection relay should not have anything common with primary protection relay.Some examples of Mechanical Relay are-Thermal(a) OT trip (Oil Temperature Trip) (b) WT trip (Winding Temperature Trip) (C) Bearing temp trip etc.(a) Buchholz (b) OSR (c) PRV (d) Water level Controls etc.Float typePressure switches.Mechanical interlocks.Pole discrepancy relay.


How do you make 3 ply bus bar bending?

To make a 3-ply bus bar bending, first, gather the necessary materials, including the bus bar, bending tools (like a hydraulic or manual bender), and safety equipment. Measure and mark the desired bending points on the bus bar, ensuring precise angles for functionality. Position the bus bar in the bender, align it with the marks, and apply pressure gradually to achieve the required bends. Finally, verify the bends for accuracy and ensure they meet the specified electrical and structural requirements.

About bus bar protection ques and ans?

Protection of busbars is mainly done using differential relays. These relays sense current flowing into the bus and current flowing out of the bus. If current in != current flowing out, the relay assumes there is a fault on the bus and trips breakers to isolate the bus.


What Happen if BUS BAR Protection relay fails?

In the event of a busbar fault, the next level of protection will operate and disconnect the busbars.


What is purpose of ct supervision relay in high impedance bus bar protection?

A high impedance bus bar relay uses summed CTs from multiple breakers into a high resistance to determine a fault condition. Since all CTs connect to a single input on the relay, the relay cannot determine if a valid fault condition has occured, or one of the CTs is disconnected (open circuited). External CT supervision must be supplied to confirm.

What is pillars?

feeder pillars are used for distribution of electrical supply to customer in which having a such arrangement that the Incomer with Protection (MCB, SFU,MCCB) from this protection the O/G is connected to the Bus bar and from bus bar the O/G are provided to customer,


How can you calculate the copper bus bar according to the amp?

To obtain the amp of the copper bus bar, multiply the width of the bus bar by the thickness of the bus bar to obtain the current carrying capacity of the bus bar.

What are the types of bus bar arrangements?

Single bus is used in smaller, less important substations. A fault on the bus requires tripping of all lines into the bus. When higher redundancy is necessary, ring and breaker and 1/2 schemes are used. These are the three most common.
