Relaying and System Protection for Electric Utilities - Volume III:Line Protection
In Relaying and System Protection for Electric Utilities - Volume III:Line Protection, you'll learn ...
- The relaying schemes and processes used to protect transmission lines
- The application of both non-directional and directional overcurrent relays
- Distance relaying schemes as they apply to transmission lines
- The predominate communications channel types in use today for pilot relaying
Overview
This course is the third in a series of five courses on the design of relaying and system protection programs for electric utilities. These courses describe the fundamental concepts of electric system protection and provide detailed examples of the application of relaying. In most cases, the material is based on electromechanical relays to give the reader a strong understanding of current relaying practices.
This course explains the practices involved in protecting transmission lines and includes overcurrent relaying, distance relaying, and pilot relaying.
This series is divided into five separate courses. Each course essentially stands on its own, and the courses do not necessarily need to be taken in the order listed. However, for a thorough understanding, it makes sense to take the courses as presented.
Specific Knowledge or Skill Obtained
This course teaches the following specific knowledge and skills:
- The types of relay schemes used for line protection
