Why we not use the impedance relay in protection of short transmission line ?

Answer Posted / nagesh.patwari

1. During Short circuit current Step and Touch potential increases.Step potential : It is the potential developed between the two feet on the ground of a man or animal when short circuit occurs. This results in flow of current in the body leads to electrical shockTouch potential: It is the potential that is developed between the ground and the body of the equipment when a person touches the body during fault condition. When operating personnel touch an electrical equipment during short circuit condition, fault current flows through the human body. This is defined as touch potential.Gravel/Stones in the substation is provided to reduce the step potential and touch potential when operators work on switch yard.2. Power Transformers installed in the substations will have oil as cooling and insulating medium. Oil leakage takes place during operation or when changing the oil in the transformer. This oil spillage which can catch fire is dangerous to the switchyard operation. So Stones/Gravel is provided to protect from fire when oil spillage takes place.3. Stones eliminate the growth of small weeds and plants inside the switch yard4. Improves yard working condition5. Provides protection from wild life and snakes.

i have a 4 Mva transformer 34.5 kv / 480-277 v and i used 2 parallel 3200 amp bus duct for the secondary feeder using 3 ply of bus bar ( 3/8" x 5" ) as a common where the flexible link terminated and 6300 amps breaker for the main, the lower bus duct reaches 70 degrees and the upper bus duct reaches 55 degrees when i used thermal scanner. why the temperature is not balance when the load reaches 3600 amps.
