What is a unit protection?
Unit protection is designed to operate for abnormal conditions inside the protected zone while remaining stable for abnormal conditions outside the protected zone. This scheme requires current to be measured at each end of the zone.
What is unit differential protection?
• Differential protection is the best technique in protection. In this type of. protection the electrical quantities entering and leaving the protected zone. or area are compared by current transformers (C.T.s).
What is a non unit protection?
Non-unit protection consists of circuits that measure and compare the voltages and currents at the relaying point. It is able to determine the location of the fault from these values. This contrasts with unit protection which will not operate for a fault outside its zone.
Which of the following relay belongs to Unit protection?
If the relay is used for the protection of faults within a specified device like transformer, generator, motor etc., are called as unit protection relays. Examples: 1. Differential relays 2. Buccholz relays If the fault outside the unit protection area or zone are called through faults.
What is generator transformer unit protection?
The generators are directly connected to step up transformer to which it is connected, together from a generator transformer unit. The protection of such a unit is achieved by differential protection scheme using circulating current principle.
Which type of protection scheme is a unit protection scheme?
Unit and Non-Unit Protection Scheme. a) Unit Protection Scheme: Unit type schemes protect a specific area of the system i.e. a transformer, transmission line, generator or bus bar. The unit protection schemes are based on Kirchhoff’s Current Law – the sum of the currents entering an area of the system must be zero.
