Understanding Distance Protection (21) Video

Distance Protection Video Thumbnail

The last video in our end-to-end testing series gave you a general overview of distance protection, and why we use it in modern electrical systems.  It is important to know how a regular distance protection (21) scheme will react to different faults around the relays, and how those reactions are different from communication-assisted

In the previous post about Directional Overcurrent relay (67) testing (Finding the Direction in Directional Overcurrent Relays), we reviewed Directional Overcurrent protection from a system perspective to enhance the descriptions in The Relay Testing Handbook: Principles and Practice. We’ll be looking at Directional Overcurrent relays from a testing perspective in

Can You Predict What Happens in a Directional Comparison Blocking (DCB) Scheme?

DCB Protection

The Relay Testing Handbook: End-to-End Testing covers the most common Communication-Assisted Protection Schemes including the Directional Comparison Blocking (DCB) Scheme. This bonus animation shows the steps involved for a DCB trip. End-to-end testers should understand how this scheme operates before they test it and this animation was created to help relay
