Short Circuit Currents

According to PUE-2017, each group line must be protected against short circuits. Instant disconnection (cut-off) of the line in the event of short circuits provides an electromagnetic release of the circuit breaker. Reliable tripping is possible if the current of a single-phase short circuit is greater than the instantaneous tripping current. Today on the market are widely available circuit breakers with characteristics "B", "C" and "D", which are characterized by different multiplicities of the cut-off current of the electromagnetic release. Some European companies produce circuit breakers with other characteristics, which greatly expands the possibilities protection of electrical equipment. The difficulty in organizing the selectivity of protection is that the circuit breakers of modular design when switching off short circuits are characterized by the same switching time (not more than 0.05 s). The purpose of the research is to find ways to organize the selectivity of protection in electrical networks with voltage up to 1000 V using reliable values of short-circuit currents. In networks with a voltage of up to 1000 V, the current of a single-phase short circuit can be calculated fairly accurately if the exact values of all sections of the electrical network are known. In practice, it is not always possible to obtain reliable data on the numerical characteristics of the 0.4 kV network to which a new energy facility is connected. Therefore, it is proposed to consider part of the network as an active quadrupole, the characteristics of which are obtained by measurements at the point of connection. For further calculations it is necessary to know the voltage at the clamps of the four-pole scheme and the internal impedance. Based on the theory of four-pole scheme, you can get the original data for calculations without calculating the internal parameters of four-poles scheme. Thus, it is proposed to use a hybrid method for estimating the magnitude of probable short-circuit currents in electrical networks up to 1000 V when designing new energy facilities. Credible values of short-circuit currents will allow to organize selective protection of electric networks.

Short Circuit Currents

The article deals with the problems of single-phase short-circuit current distribution in overhead power lines. Short-circuit disturbances cause many negative phenomena in power networks. Since experimental studies of short-circuits in real networks are practically impossible to perform, these effects can be evaluated only theoretically, based on short-circuit current calculations with the use of appropriate mathematical models. Although short-circuit modeling is considered to be one of the simplest power system calculations, the exact mathematical description of the phenomena occurring at short-circuits is complex. Simplified normative methods are often used for short-circuit current calculations; however, this does not give ground for a thorough analysis of short-circuit current distribution in power lines. The distributions are analyzed using power line models with different degrees of complexity in line with the assumptions made for a given model. The paper presents the problem of current distribution analysis in high-voltage overhead lines for single-phase faults to the tower structures. Simulation studies were conducted on the models developed for the calculation of short-circuit currents in the high-voltage power line earthing. The objective of the analysis was to assess the validity of simplification assumptions followed by practical recommendations on the applicability of the models.
