Relay protection for overhead lines and cable feeders in distribution networks for different application areas

Feeder protection, precisely the protection of overhead lines and cables, is the most commonly used type of protection.

The protection must ensure that the grid continues to supply power. In the event of a fault, it must be prevented from propagating to the normal part of the network.

Relay protection must also minimise damage to cables and other connected equipment from faults and ensure the safety of everyone involved.

ABB offers a wide range of feeder protection. There is a wide range of multifunctional relays for different application areas.

There are some for general feeder protection (overcurrent protection) and backup protection, and some more specialised ones, e.g. for line differential protection.

Main advantages

• Devices can be used for a wide range of applications
• Ranging from simple protection devices as back-up protection to specialised protection devices
• Well-established and modern technology
• Arc detection as an option

Please note that product parameters and features may be updated due to changing skills and market conditions.

The counter of the ABB OCAH 940181103 has three inputs count, reset and set value; and two outputs-complete value and current value.

A count input is required to provide a counter for counting pulses, a resetinput is required to reset the counter, and a set value is required to provide a set count for the counter.

The done output is used to indicate that the counter has finished counting, and the Current Value shows the current value that the counter has counted so far.

The concept of security zoning is described in IEC62443. In short,

security zoning is a method to segment a system into zones with

different security levels. A security level is complied with by

implementing a combination of security counter measures. The

reason why it potentialy could make sense to divide a system into

security zones, which comply with different security levels, could be

that the risk for different parts of the system varies. Another could be

that the impact of a potential incident varies.

The Solution

The use of a Contrac continuous electric actuator ensures ideal positioning of the water spray control valve.

Even high temperature models with ambient temperatures up to 85 °C can achieve S9-100 % duty cycles without restriction.

The special design of the Contract actuator, with oil-lubricated spur gears and electrical components for S9-100 % duty cycles, allows high precision in the positioning of the sprinkler valve.

High precision and true continuous positioning of the water spray valve is achieved.

Due to the special design and operating principle of the Contrac actuator, the dead band is only ±0.05 %.

This precision allows for highly accurate positioning of all types of valves over the entire range.

All components are IP66 rated and can be used even under the harshest environmental conditions.

Introduction

The water injection valve on a steam boiler controls the amount of cooling water injected into the superheated steam in the superheater and reheater.

The amount of water injected is decisive for the temperature of the steam inside and at the output of the superheater.

Too much water injection can lead to excessive cooling of the steam, which negatively affects efficiency.

On the other hand, insufficient water injection leads to excessive steam temperature and pressure.

The risk of damage to the superheater, turbine and downstream components increases as a result.

For optimal operation of the superheater at the lowest possible steam temperature and the highest possible hot steam temperature, the

continuous and precise mass flow control of the injected cooling water is first required.

Depending on the operating conditions, this requirement means that very small amounts of water need to be supplied, thus requiring highly accurate positioning in disproportionate areas of the valve.

The operating environment is extremely harsh.

In addition, the ambient temperature in the superheater area can be very high.
