Line protection varies based on voltage level, neutral grounding method, and line type (cable or overhead). Protective relays are used to detect defective lines or apparatus and to initiate the operation of circuit-interrupting devices to isolate the defective equipment. Relays are also used to detect abnormal or undesirable operating conditions other than those caused by defective equipment and either. Protective relays and devices have been developed over 100 years ago to provide “lastline”of defense for the electrical systems. This comprehensive article delves into the key aspects of relay protection in HV/MV substations, including calculations, settings. The documents presented should serve as a model to various utilities in preparing similar documents for setting protection relays installed installed at 220kV, 400kV and 765kV EHV and UHV transmission systems. The numerical terminals referred as IED (Intelligent electronic device) contain apart. Generator protection covers: phase-to-phase short circuits in stator windings, stator ground faults, inter-turn short circuits in stator windings, external short circuits, symmetrical overload, stator overvoltage, single- and double-point grounding in the excitation circuit, and loss of excitation.
