Process We Follow

Data collection

VB is pioneer in conducting Relay Coordination Studies. With our experience gained in conducting Short Circuit Protection Relay Services we have created a structured data collection procedure for relay coordination studies.

Our dedicated electrical professional team will visit your location as per schedule. Collect all the required data with our VB Tantra mobile app. For conducting a relay setting calculation we need all the electrical installation data of the plant and their complete behaviour manuals. Power system relaying is configured by the OEMs as a standard international practice and the manufacturer will have a defined parameters with respect to the behaviour of the equipment.

SLD preparation, short circuit, and relay coordination studies

Once the data required for conducting short circuit coordination study and the relay coordination and OEM library for Protection Relay in Power System Studies Is modelled in SKM or etap protection coordination study software module.

The loading conditions and the short circuit study values will be calculated and marked in the skm or etap relay coordination module for identifying the overcurrent relay coordination in the network.

overcurrent relay coordination

Once the data from VB Tantra mobile app is received by our back-end team, we model the data collected in the reputed electrical simulation software ETAP /SKM. The modeled network will be subjected to various simulation studies like voltage drop analysis, short circuit studies and protective device coordination studies. The fault current calculation shall be done to identify what is the maximum available fault current at each feeder and bus. IEEE short circuit current calculation sheets will provide you the values of the 3-phase bolted and arcing fault. We have to use these short circuit calculation values obtained to perform relay coordination calculation. Relay setting calculation will depend on the fault current calculation and the time values.

Tabulating results and Final Report

After successfully calculating the over current protection required for the network to with stand the load and short circuit currents we will check for the mis coorcination in the electrical networks using skm or etap relay coordination software module.

The Relay Protection Coordination Services are part of our Power system studies for designing of the plant as turnkey solution.

The settings and ratings of each protective device i.e., circuit breakers, fuses, motor controllers, etc. as determined in the analysis are kept in a table for comparison with present field settings and ratings. We prepare the detailed final report as per the international standards and deliver the output.

More Features

etap relay coordination

In power system networks, protection has to be designed such that protective relays isolate the faulted portion of the network, to prevent equipment damage, injury to operators and to ensure minimum system disruption enabling continuity of service to healthy portion of the network.

Power system analysis is a very critical part in any electrical design and its operation. Relay coordination study or relay coordination calculation is a part of the traditional power system analysis performed for all plants and facilities for a smooth operation. Relay coordination studies plays a vital role in the electrical maintenance and plant operation.

Relay coordination is used to achieve proper fault identification and fault clearance sequence. These relays must be able to differentiate between the normal operating currents that including short time over currents that may appear due to certain equipment normal operation such as motor starting currents, Transformer inrush currents and sustained overcurrent due to fault conditions. power system relaying and overcurrent protection are mutually dependent concepts which contribute to the plants smooth operation. Protection coordination or protective device coordination study will include the protection relay setting calculation and the power system protection and switchgear, MCB, Fuse, ACB, VCB so on.

In order to provide the overcurrent protection we need to properly conduct the power system protection and the protective device coordination study with our compromising the electrical safety of the system. The main object of the protection coordination is to avoid nuisance tripping by proper protection relay setting calculation by enabling the power system protection. During fault conditions, these relays must operate quickly so as to isolate the faulted part of the network only and allowing for continued operation of the healthy circuits.
