EHV Parallel 230 kV Underground Cables Example
EHV Parallel 230 kV Underground Cables Example
This application example presents an underground cable system with double-
ended 230 kV parallel cables (see
). SEL-421 Relays protect each end
of the first circuit. This example explains settings calculations for the SEL-421 at
Station S that protects Cable 1 between Station S and Station R.
The SEL-421 uses communications-assisted high-speed tripping to provide pro-
tection for faults along the 230 kV underground cable.
The two 230 kV underground cables run from Station S to Station R. Each circuit
consists of three single-phase cables, each having an oil-filled copper conductor
(hollow core). The cables are insulated with impregnated paper and have a lead
sheath to prevent intrusion of moisture and to withstand fluid pressure. The
cables are also grounded at both ends. Depending on the nature of a ground fault,
ground fault current can return via the sheath, the ground, or both the sheath and
ground.

values and parameters that correspond to your system when you set the relay,
using this example as a guide.
