A bus differential protection scheme, regardless of the type of relay used, simply compares the current entering the bus with the current leaving the bus. Any difference in the current entering and leaving the bus, above some predetermined threshold, is an indication of a bus fault that must be isolated quickly.
Consequently, the busbar differential protection can detect a fault when current transformers are ranged on the busbar side or in the case of a busbar coupler with 1 or 2 current transformers. The calculated current results in disconnection of the faulty busbar by the busbar differential protection.
In voltage differential busbar protection the CTs of all incoming and outgoing feeders are connected in series instead of connecting them in parallel. The secondaries of all CTs and differential relay form a closed loop. If polarity of all CTs are properly matched, the sum of voltage across all CT secondaries is zero.
Current transformers (CTs) are installed to monitor all currents entering and leaving a bus through the normal circuits connected to the bus. A bus differential protection scheme, regardless of the type of relay used, simply compares the current entering the bus with the current leaving the bus.
Voltage Differential Protection: In this scheme, CTs are connected in series, and faults are detected based on voltage differences to avoid issues with CT saturation. Sectionalized Busbar Protection: Different zones of a busbar have separate protection relays to isolate faults in specific sections, enhancing system stability.
A typical DC circuit for busbar differential protection scheme is given below. Here, CSSA and CSSB are two selector switch which are used to put into service, the busbar protection system for zone A and zone B respectively. If CSSA is in “IN” position, protection scheme for zone A is in service.
