Standards for Fault Calculation

IEC 60909 and 61393 ANSI / IEEE Standard C37 and UL 489

Modern Power System Protective Relaying

94

IEC 60909
Calculation

is based on equivalent voltages at the


point of the fault (LF is required prior to SC)

The

introduction of a voltage factor c is necessary


for various reasons (IEC 60909-0, 1.3.15). These
are:
voltage

variation depending on time and place;


changing of transformer taps;
neglecting loads and capacitances by calculating
according to IEC 60909-0 (see 2.3.1);
the sub-transient behaviour of generators, powerstation units and motors.
Modern Power System Protective Relaying

95

ANSI IEEE C37.010-1979


The Method is described in IEEE Std.
C37.010-1979 and its revision in 1999,
is used for high-voltage (above 1000V)
equipment
The
IEEE standard permits the
exclusion of all 3-phase induction
motors below 50 hp and all singlephase motors. Hence, no reactance
adjustment is needed for these motors.
The Chart at right clarifies the
ANSI/IEEE procedure.

Elements Affecting SC Calculation


Capacitors & non rotating load (not affecting calc)

Static convertors (initial contribution to If, but no


contribution on SC breaking current)
Limiting reactors (taken as part of the current return)

Motors (to take it into account is: Sin > Ik/100):


Synchronous motors begin to function like generators and feed
the fault (sub-transient reactance xd is applied to dissipate
energy stored in motors)
Asynchronous motors (neglected for some cases)
The contribution of LV motors is negligible

Load Flow Calculations


To calculate Load Flow (LF) the power system is
represented through a model of its components
The model for Load Flow Calculations is the
same as the model for short circuit calculations
The load flow calculations show the flow of load
in the power system
Maximum and minimum load flow is calculated,
which are used for equipment specification and
operations and for protection settings
LF example is shown in the Case study
