From the name itself it may lighten that it’s about the transmission line protection strategy. Ø   When do we need this?      We need to protect a long transmission line with good sensitivity and selectivity Ø     Why not over current Protection? Of course it is possible as it’s a cheaper. But not recommended where we need higher sensitivity and selectivity. That is, if the load current and fault current are almost comparable, overcurrent protection fails to distinguish between the two. Also it is more susceptible in taking action with the change in fault location. Ø     Advantages over other methods ·          Provides faster operation. ·          Has the directional feature. ·          Greater accuracy as more information is using for taking decision. ·          As a backu...

     Electrical Substations An electrical substation forms an integral part of the power system. It is placed at the both ends of the long distant transmission line... but why??!! Of-course to transform voltage!  A substation at the beginning End or say generation side normally used to boost up the voltage to higher magnitude suitable for transmitting the generated power to long distant load with minimum losses.( Uses a step up transformer )!! Yes the other type is at the other end of the long distant transmission line nearer to load centre... here the high voltage is stepped down to a relevant magnitude which may be used for distribution purpose or another voltage level transmission for near by substations.                    The heart of a substation is nothing but our transformer, depending upon the purpose transformer can be step up or step down!! Now we are considering a load end substation as a...
