Overview The VIT self healing system can make multi source loop system without using communication. It can isolate the both sides of faulted sections before automatic close of tie switch, so there is no fault impact to the healthy network, and can avoid the series coordination problem of large numbers of protections devices. The VIT recloser and VIT Sectionalizer have the functions of directional sensitive earth fault, high impedance fault protection and open conductor fault protection, so it can improve the safety, reliability of the distribution line. The VIT sectionalizer works not only as conventional radial sectionalizer, but also loop sectionalizer and direct protection device from SEF, HIF, Open conductor faults. The VIT sectionalizer isolate the high fault current through fault current counting and clears the small ground current (SEF, HIF, Open conductor fault) by itself. 2. Enhanced Loop Operation The automatic loop operation during permanents fault can reduce the outage time and outage area dramatically compared to radial network. If the feeder divided into 4 sections and connected by normal open switch, 75% of the network can restore the service within short time. The conventional 5 recloser loop scheme was widely used, because it can reconfigure the feeder automatically without communication, but also it has serious draw backs. The main problem is that the load side of faulted section can not be isolated before tie switch close, so there are coordination problems of many protection devices and it inevitably makes the short circuit impact to the healthy network when the tie switch close. The other problem is the possibility of mistrip of healthy feeder recloser because of the increased load current. To overcome above problems, peer to peer communication, centralized communication, pulsed reclosing solutions are suggested, but the system is expensive and still can not fully solve the problems. The VIT self healing system isolate the source side of faulted section through the sequential operation of recloser and fault counting of sectionalizer. The load side of faulted section also can be isolated through voltage counting during the sequential operation of C.B or recloser. If the load side of faulted section can be isolated, then the sectionalizer can be used in loop network, and the results are better coordination, more sectionalizing segment, low cost and no short circuit impact to the healthy network. 2.1 Mid Point Recloser 1 - Source Side Isolation of Faulted Section Clears temporary and permanent faults through sequential operation. - Load Side Isolation of Faulted Section If the upstream protection device clears the fault, so if it senses loss of voltage, then it trips and counts the number of loss of voltage. If the counts satisfy the setting then it goes to lockout, but if the counts are more or less than set counts, then it will close again, when the voltage is restored. The close timer should be longer than maximum clearing time of upstream C.B or recloser VIT SELF HEALING SYSTEM - Load Encroachment Logics If the tie switch close, then the recloser of healthy feeder will supply more current than the normal and it may mistrip the recloser. To avoid mistrip and to maintain sensitivity, the control has two operation current levels. The first level will be qualified by both amplitude and load angle, the second level will be qualified by amplitude. - Automatic Setting Group Change The load side recloser will supply reduced current than normal and needs different setting group. If the load side restore the voltage first, then it automatically changes the setting group and if the line reconfigured after maintenance to the original network, then the setting group changes again to the normal setting group. . 2.2 Tie Recloser The tie recloser close automatically if the one side voltage is lost but if the fault was at the zone of tie recloser, it goes to lockout unlike conventional Tie recloser and automatically reset when both side voltages are restored. The tie recloser has two setting groups according to the power direction and automatically changes the setting group. If the tie recloser open not automatically, then it goes to lockout, so it will not close even one side voltage is lost, and the lockout state will be reset automatically when the both side voltage are restored. 2.3 Mid Point Sectionalizer The Sectionalizer can be used in loop network, so the series coordination problem of conventional five recloser loop scheme can be solved and the sectionalizing points can be increased. - Source Side isolation of Faulted Section Isolate the permanent fault through fault current counting during the sequential operation of upstream C.B or Recloser. - Load Side isolation of Faulted Section The sectionalizer isolate the source side of faulted section through voltage counting before the tie switch close. - Load Encroachment Logics During loop operation, the sectionalizer of healthy feeder will supply more current than the normal and it may cause miscount. To avoid this miscounting, the sectionalizer has similar load encroachment logics with recloser. - Automatic Setting Group Change The sectionalizer can have two setting groups and it changes the setting groups according to the power direction automatically and if the line is restored to original state, then it changes the setting group again. 2.4 Tie Sectionalizer The sectionalizer can be used as tie switch because both of the faulted sections are already isolated and the tie switch will go to lockout and will not try to close into fault, if the fault was at the zone of tie sectionalizer. If the sectionalizer is used as tie switch, then it may be set to one count to open, so if there is second fault during loop operation, the newly connected load will be removed after one operation of recloser. 2 SHINSUNG INDUSTRIAL ELECTRIC The tie sectionalizer close automatically if the one side voltage is lost but if the fault was at the zone of tie sectionalizer, it will be lockout unlike conventional tie switch. It automatically reset when both side voltages are restored. If the tie sectionalizer open, not automatically then it goes to lockout and the lockout state will be reset automatically when both side voltages are restored. 2.5 Loop System more than Two Sources If the feeder has no enough marginal capacity, so only 33% of the load can be supplied from other source, then it will be 3 section, 3 source interconnected loop scheme. The VIT self healing system can support multi source loop system through loss of voltage lockout features. 3. Enhanced Ground Fault Protection. 3.1 SEF (Sensitive Earth Fault) The SEF current is small but continuous, so it differs with HIF current from the points of no random, no arc burst, no high harmonic content etc. (1) 3 Phase 3Wire System The 3phase-3wire system has very small residual current during normal operation, because there is no phase to ground load. The sensitivity is limited by unbalanced phase to ground leakage current and the sensitivity of zero current transformer. The VIT recloser and VIT sectionalizer can detect sensitive residual current (below 100mA residual current at full load). To distinguish between forward and reverse fault, the phase angle between zero phase Voltage (Vo) and zero phase current (Io) should be compared. The maximum torque angle are different according to the grounding system and some times it needs fields tuning process to set exactly. The threshold level of Vo, Io and the MTA(maximum torque angle) between Vo and Io, the TAW(torque angle width) can be programmed. The SEF algorithm is based on continuous arc current, so if the arc current is not continuous, it will be covered by HIF algorithm. (2) 3 Phase, 4Wire Solidly Multi-Grounded System In case of 3 phase 4wire system, the SEF, HIF Protection are much more difficult than 3phase-3wire system because of high normal residual current. To achieve sensitive earth fault and high impedance fault, the continuous arc range should be lowered as far as possible. If the ground pick up level is lower than max phase current, it is needed to use directional ground protection to avoid mis-operation during source side fault. If the ground pick up level is fixed, then the sensitivity can not improved lower than maximum residual current during normal operation. To overcome this problem, the residual current ratio I0/I1 can be used to get better sensitivity. The open conductor fault algorithm also can improve the ground fault sensitivity if there is detectable increase of unbalance current because of open conductor, because the open conductor fault also can cover SEF, HIF and even just in-hang situation. If the ground fault current is small, then it has a tendancy to become random arc (HIF), so, it also need special random arc detection algorithms. 3 VIT SELF HEALING SYSTEM So the I0 pick up, I0/I1 pick up element needs directional protection and also random arc protection. The protection level may be as follows The protection level may be as follows; 1st level 2nd level 3rd level IG ≥ IP max. Non Directional 0.5 IP max.< IG < IP max. Directional I0/I1 Directional 3.2 HIF The SEF is also kinds of HIF, but the SEF is continuous arc and HIF has characteristics of high harmonics or random, arc burst. Generally, SEF and HIF use the same threshold level,. - Randomness - Arc Burst - Harmonic Content Analysis At the loop network, the SEF, HIF fault will be cleared first by VIT recloser, because at loop network, the load side of faulted section should be isolated during the sequential operation of recloser. If the SEF, HIF fault are at the radial network, then it will be cleared by VIT sectionalizer without tripping main line recloser. 3.3 Open Conductor Fault The open conductor fault may make normal ground fault, SEF, HIF, load side touched ground fault, or just in-hang (not touches the ground). If the fault was at the main line (not small branch line) and if there is VIT sectionalizer at the load side, the open conductor fault can be cleared with high sensitivity and with high security. The O.C algorithm has longer time delay than SEF, HIF, so if the fault can not be detected by SEF, HIF, then finally the O-C algorithm clears the fault. (1) Source side isolation of open conductor The source side of O.C detect abnormal unbalance current I2/I1, but the system voltage is stable, in this condition the open conductor fault timer start and if timed out, the switch open and lockout. The upstream switch has longer delay time than downstream switch and if the unbalance current disappear, then the timer will be reset. (2) Load side isolation of open conductor The load side switch detect strong unbalance voltage, so the zero phase voltage ratio (V0/V1) can detect open conductor situation. If the switch detect V0/V1, and detect no voltage during the open time window of upstream switch, then it will open and be lockout. 4. Built in RTU Functions The VIT self healing system fulfill the requirements of self healing feeder automation system without using communication, but if it is connected to the computer system through communication, then it will be much more flexible, convenient and powerful. 1st Step Self Healing Automation System * VIT Recloser, VIT Sectionalizer * Fault Isolation, Service Restoration * Automatic Setting Group Change 4 SHINSUNG INDUSTRIAL ELECTRIC 2nd Step Computerized Distribution Automation System * Adding the modem * VIT Self healing system works as redundancy system * Remote Monitoring * Remote Operation * Remote Measurement * Remote Setting Change 5. Application 5.1 The Problems of Conventional 5 Recloser Loop Scheme SR 1 C.B 1 F1 MR 1 F2 F3 TR C.B 2 SR MR TR SR 2 MR 2 Sectionalizing Recloser Mid Point Recloser Tie Recloser (Normally Open) The conventional recloser loop scheme can isolate the source side, but can not isolate the load side of faulted section. So during tie recloser close, 4~5 protection device should coordinate properly and can not avoid fault impact to the healthy network. The healthy feeder recloser have to supply more load current, so without changing the setting, it may mis-trip or have to sacrifice the sensitivity, so they say it needs communication. To solve above problems, they suggest the recloser use as Sectionalizer during normal operation, but still operate it as recloser during loop operation to remove the fault, but it can not avoid short circuit impact to the healthy network. The pulsed reclosing techniques are introduced to solve the problems, but it still can not be the fundamental solution. The VIT self healing system solve above problems through “both side isolation of faulted section before tie switch close” and the sectionalizer can be used even for loop operation with better coordination, more sectionalizing points, reduced cost. 5 F1 fault CB 1 SR1 TR Lockout after sequential operation Open lockout after sense loss of voltage more than livebus timer Close after sense loss of voltage of one side more than close timer. F2 fault SR 1 TR MR1 Lockout after sequential operation Close after sense loss of voltage of one side more than close timer Trip and lockout VIT SELF HEALING SYSTEM NOTE: The series coordination between CB2, SR2, MR2, TR and MR1, will be very difficult and healthy feeder experience unnecessary fault impact. F3 fault MR 1 TR TR Lockout after sequential operations Close after sense loss of voltage of one side more than close timer Trip and lockout NOTE: The coordination between CB2, SR2, MR2 and TR will be very difficult and the healthy feeder experience unnecessary fault impact even it can not restore the service. 5.2 Enhanced 5 VIT Recloser Loop Scheme SR 1 C.B 1 F1 MR 1 F2 F3 TR SR 2 C.B 2 SR MR TR MR 2 Sectionalizing Recloser Mid Point Recloser Tie Recloser (Normally Open) The VIT Recloser can isolate both side of faulted section before tie recloser close, so it solves the problem of series coordination of many protective devices and it avoids unnecessary impact to the healthy network CB1, CB2 SR1, SR2 MR1, MR2 TR F1 fault CB 1 SR1,MR1 CB 1 CB2 SR1 TR MR1 O-CO-CO O-CO-CO No voltage trip Lockout after voltage count O-CO-CO No voltage trip Lockout after voltage count Automatic close when one side voltage is lost Lockout after voltage count Close Close Open Open Open Open lockout Lockout after voltage count Close Close (setting group change) 6 SHINSUNG INDUSTRIAL ELECTRIC F2 fault SR 1 MR1 SR 1 SR1 MR1 TR Open Open Close Open Close Open, lockout Lockout after voltage count Close F3 fault MR1 MR 1 MR1 TR Open Close Open Close open and lockout Lockout after voltage count, No close into fault NOTE: 1. The VIT recloser loop scheme isolate the source side and load side of faulted section before tie recloser close. So there is no series coordination problem, no short circuit impact to the healthy network, not necessary to use pulse reclosing techniques, not necessary to use communication. 2. The reclosers have load encroachment algorithm to avoid mis-tripping during loop operation. So, it is not necessary to change the setting of healthy feeder recloser through communication before tie recloser close. 3. The VIT recloser has SEF, HIF and open conductor fault protection functions. The operating sequence of SEF, HIF will be the same with above example. The VIT recloser has two open conductor fault algorithm, load side confirmed O.C and non load side confirmed O.C algorithms. At the middle of network, it operates according to load side confirmed O.C algorithm with high security and sensitivity and at the end of network, it operates according to non load side confirmed O.C algorithm based on abnormal unbalance load ratio or negative sequence current ratio. Even the case of open conductor fault, the both side of faulted section will be isolated. 7 VIT SELF HEALING SYSTEM 5.3 Enhanced VIT Recloser and VIT Sectionalizer Loop Scheme The sectionalizer could not be used before at the loop scheme, because during tie switch close, the fault should be removed by recloser (The load side of faulted section was not removed before tie switch close) But the VIT Self healing loop system can use recloser, sectionalizer and the coordination will be better because, the sectionalizer has no time-current characteristics. The VIT self healing systems are economical, better coordination, more sectionalizing points, better protections (SEF, HIF, Open Conductor Fault) than conventional recloser loop scheme.

The first level will be qualified by the amplitude and load angle. The second level may be double of first level, but qualified only by amplitude. So during loop operation, it will not mis-operate even the load currents are higher than first level. 6.
