We use ungrounded DC system (220V/110V) for control and
protection system in substations etc. Suppose we have long
2 core DC cables running from our DCDB in control room to
the load (length of around 2 to 3 km). Do we need to
protect these long DC cables from earth leakages or not? If
yes how?

Answer / krishna
Usage of differential relay for 220V/110V is not an
economical idea. Differential protection is the costlier
protection. DC Cables should be protected from earthleakage
bacause of which voltage differences occurs and trips the
circuits due to large variations. I suggest to go for
MCCB/MCB of required rating which trips the circuit when
earth leakage occurs.

Answer / ch.shankar
use dc differential relay or poles insulation monitor which
will help u to measure leakage

Answer / k.prakashchandra
Normally dc earth fault locater is employed. If one polarity
shows earth fault there is nothing to panic.Heavy fault
current occurs if the other polarity also develops fault. If
tripping is provided ,the protection may get lost.

A 100 kVA , 400 v/250 kv testing transformer has 8% leakage reactance and resistance on 100 KVA base . A cable has to be tested at 500 kv using the above transformer as a resonant transformer at 50 hz . if the charging current of the cable at 500 kv is 0.4 A find the series inductance required . Assume 2% resistance for the inductor to be used and the connecting leads . Neglect dielectric loss of hte cable . what will be the input voltage to the transformer ?
