Problems solved by technology

[0008] The problem with the above method is that if the neutral point grounding method of the system is changed, for example, when the arc suppression (Petersen) coil or the neutral point grounding resistor in the network is turned on or cut off, the directional characteristics must be changed immediately and the applicable setting
The disadvantage of the automation change is that it increases the complexity of the system by e.g. requiring auxiliary wiring, which involves additional costs
A possible disadvantage of the proposed solution is that it only provides a partial solution for automatic adaptation: when the neutral grounding process is changed, only the directional condition is adapted, but lacks other parameters that may need to be changed. Automatic adaptation of possible protection settings

Abstract

A method and an apparatus for adapting earth-fault protection settings in a three-phase electric network, the apparatus (10) comprising means for determining a value for a directional phasor quantity at a measuring point in the three-phase electric network after an earth fault has been detected in the three-phase electric network, means for comparing the determined value for the directional phasor quantity with predetermined boundaries on a complex plane, means for determining, on the basis of the comparison, a neutral earthing state of the electric network, and means for adapting one or more earth-fault protection settings on the basis of the determined neutral earthing state of the electric network.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the adaptive modification of ground fault protection settings in a three-phase grid. Background technique [0002] Generally, directional earth fault protection can be based on two conditions of simultaneous monitoring of directional quantities: [0003] ●direction [0004] ●Amplitude [0005] When the above two conditions are met at the same time, that is, the direction matches the set operating direction and the magnitude of the monitored quantity exceeds the set operating threshold, the operating condition of the directional ground fault protection is satisfied. There may be one or several monitored quantities whose magnitudes are monitored and must exceed the set threshold limit. [0006] A typical arrangement for directional earth fault protection in high resistance earthed networks is such that a general fault indication is obtained when the magnitude of the fundamental frequency component of the residual voltage excee...
