(HIR) - HIGH RESISTANCE OPEN PHASE (HIROP) SCHEME:

HIGH RESISTANCE (Ground) and OPEN PHASE (HIROP) protection schemes have been installed on HV transmission lines, 500/230kV Autotransformers, 230/115kV Autotransformers, HV Lines terminating in an Autotransformer, Generator Transformers and Bus Tie Breakers to help detect and clear open circuit and high impedance ground fault conditions.

. s: T5 n! x2 ^" zThe advantage of HIROP protection scheme is that it can help to detect both the open phase conditions associated with load-carrying broken conductor (or malfunctioning switches/breakers) as well as extremely high impedance faults which may not have been detected by other `conventional' relays. In general, it is intended to improve the selectivity and coordination of power system operations

Whenever an OPEN PHASE occurs, load current creates an imbalance in the system phases and in the neutral (ground), compared to a PHASE GROUND when fault current creates an imbalance in the system phases and neutral (ground).) ` @ y+ O1 ~

The protection is designed to detect current imbalance situations and initiate the removal of affected apparatus from service. The Hydro One system configuration is such that the terminals of the element affected by HIROP detectable conditions will be subject to more imbalance current than any other element. Thus, it follows that relays on all terminals set with the same pick-up and time settings would support selective removal of the faulted element. In situations where this selectivity can be compromised (e.g. so much fault current that a difference in relay operating time is virtually non-existent), additional features have been provided to enhance selectivity.

0 w/ [" X1 d- hThis is due to the fact that the inverse time relay could, for light-current conditions, take longer than 10 seconds to operate, and breaker reclose capability takes only 10 seconds to recover after a breaker is closed (or recloses); thus, the breaker could reclose after being tripped and be closed for 10 seconds before the inverse time protection operated again, which would allow reclosure again after the next trip, etc.# P* u5 \% I7 i) o# v! @

In such cases, in order to provide coordinated backup protection for 115 kV systems (much of which does not have duplicated line protection groups) a 115 kV system `group' HIROP protection will be provided with CT’s connected at the secondary of the autotransformer.

Some directional comparison schemes will have their timed (.4 s) feature removed since this could operate faster than HIROP's inverse timed (500ms) feature. This means that the only tripping from conventional directional comparison schemes will be in the instantaneous mode (when the block signal has not been received).! M& i1 Q& K6 @' o4 e' y- Z

Both open phase and high resistance grounds produce zero sequence currents manifested as ground or neutral currents. They circulate in the power system and are distributed across all system elements in inverse proportion to their sequence impedance. The affected element carries most of the zero sequence current since it is the “source” of this current. Therefore, inverse time overcurrent based protection in the neutral, set with the same pick up current and time characteristics for all power system elements, provides selective isolation of the affected system element.; B3 m( Q0 t8 [ g5 b( P
6 Q' l& U7 e; x0 b& {* Q& ~6 X9 rIdentical inverse time characteristics for all HIROP protection ensures that the faulted element is cleared first since it carries higher zero sequence current than adjacent (non-faulted_ elements.

To further ensure proper coordination, sufficient margin has been incorporated in the settings, minor variations have been introduced in the nominal pick-up setting of the overcurrent relay (set for 360A primary in the neutral) and instantaneous and directional protections have been employed where appropriate.
