Description / Abstract:
The scope of this guide is to discuss the application and
coordination of protection for radial power-system distribution
lines. It includes the descriptions of the fundamentals, line
configurations, and schemes. In addition to these, the scope
includes identification of problems with the methods used in
distribution line protection and the solutions for those
problems.
Purpose
This guide educates and provides information on distribution
protection schemes to utility engineers, consultants, educators,
and manufacturers. The guide examines the advantages and
disadvantages of schemes presently used in protecting distribution
lines. This provides the user with the rationale for determining
the best approach for protecting an electric power distribution
system.
