ES 586b- Power System Protection Protection of Complex Transmission lines – parallel feeders, muti-ended feeders, series-compensated lines Submit to Dr. Sidhu By James Lee 250 198067 M. Eng PARALLEL FEEDERS Figure 1: Example of Parallel Line System Complicated transmission and distribution line such as parallel feeders which has terminals with more than one circuit carried on a common structure have been extensively utilized in modern power systems to enhance reliability and security for the transmission of electrical energy. The effect of mutual coupling makes parallel feeders protection challenging. Figure 2: Mutual coupling on double circuit line The coupling of positive and negative sequence between the parallel feeders for symmetrical lines is usually small and usually can be neglected. Figure 3: Positive Sequence diagram This is not the case for zero sequence mutual coupling; the coupling effect is strong and cannot be ignored. Furthermore, when there is an earth fault on a feeder when the parallel feeder is out of service and earthed at both ends the mutual effect is also taken into account. Figure 4: Zero Sequence diagram The voltage applied in one circuit includes an induced voltage proportional to the zero sequence current in the other circuit when a ground fault occurs in the system. For the impedance measurement, the current measured does not reflect the effect of mutual coupling and depending on the direction of the current flow in the circuit the relay‟s measured impedan
