System Protection

Impedance Relays for Fault Detection

Description

Impedance relays help protect power lines by watching the voltage-to-current ratio on a line. They measure the apparent impedance, which is the electrical opposition the relay sees at that point in the system. This makes them useful when time-delay overcurrent relays are hard to coordinate in complex radial systems and when ...

在复杂的径向系统中,协调定时限过电流继电器具有挑战性,而在多电源输电环路中,方向过电流继电器的协调同样困难。

阻抗继电器通过响应电压与电流的比值来解决这些问题,在三相故障期间,当电流增大、电压降低时,其灵敏度会提高。

这些继电器的阻抗定义了其闭锁区和跳闸区。

在正常运行情况下,较小的负荷电流会使阻抗保持在继电器动作圆范围之外,从而防止继电器动作;然而,当发生故障导致继电器测得的阻抗超过线路阻抗时,继电器将动作跳闸。

尽管阻抗继电器本身不具备方向性,但可通过添加方向闭锁元件或采用改进型阻抗继电器来实现方向性功能。

阻抗继电器的动作范围表示其故障检测范围。通常每相使用三个继电器,每个继电器的动作范围依次增大,且延时逐渐增...
