1.

Overvoltage Relay for 500kV Transmission Line: In the NTDC specification, it is proposed to use three single phase OverVoltage Relays connected between different phase to phase having functions 59-I, 59-L and 59-H. Now, three phase Numerical Over-Voltage Relays are available like Schneider Electric make Relay Type MiCOM P922, which covers all the functions stated above, which protect all three phases for all the above mentioned three conditions occurring anytime and anywhere. So, M/s BARQAAB suggested to use this relay instead of three separate single phase relays as specified. System Protection (NTDC) accepted the proposal to replace three single phase relays with 3-phase MiCOM P922 but they insisted to put two P922 relays, one as primary protection and second as back-up. M/s BARQAAB proposed that Over-Voltage condition on 500kV Transmission Line does not lie under actual fault category like ground faults, phase-phase faults, 3-phase faults etc. for which redundant Protection is needed. Since Over-Voltage condition is a symptom to the fault, and the system is well protected from over voltages by surge arrestors and shunt reactors and moreover, system is designed to withstand high over voltages. So the redundancy in this kind of Protection is not required. Hence, BARQAAB suggested that the use of only one number MiCOM P922 is enough for this purpose. Adding more Relays without necessity can increase the probability of malfunction of Protection System. System Protection (NTDC) agreed for using one number over voltage relay type MiCOM P922 (3 - phase). M/s NEIE / C.E (SP)

Type Tests Requirement In case of Chinese Relays: M/s NEIE representative informed during the meeting that they will supply Schneider Electric, Alstom & Siemens make Protection Relays just assembled in China. Whereas in the bid the relays were offered with Schneider France and Alstom UK tag. The terms used in the bid as Schneider France and Alstom UK refers to the fact that these relays are owned by Schneider France and Alstom UK group. Moreover, M/s NEIE ensured that the Protection Relays offered will be China assembled, but these are actually the property of Schneider France, Siemens Germany etc. and the quality of Chinese assembled Protection Relays are fully guaranteed. The System Protection Department mentioned that the contractor should supply the relays manufactured by Schneider Electric in France, Alstom in UK and Siemens in Germany as per bid. However, the European Origin Relays manufactured in China may be used in the panels subject to successful type testing. M/s. NEIE accepted the proposal of type testing to be witnessed by System Protection NTDC inspectors.

Hence, external CT proposed by System Protection (NTDC) in grounded leg connection shall not be used. 4. Zone Overlapping Inside CTs: M/s BARQAAB explained their view point about Zone Overlapping within the CT area itself, where the cores are tightly close to each other and have no physical distance among them. So, Zone Overlapping is of least importance as in case of fault inside the CT between the overlapped zones, will damage all the CTs Cores and all the Protection connected to the CT Cores will operate. However, CT faults are very rare up till now we havent experienced any actual CT faults. System Protection (NTDC) proposed that if no cost impact is involved then there is no harm to go for Zone Overlapping of various Protections. Hence M/s BARQAAB agreed principally that proposed Zone Overlapping CT Scheme is applicable and will be followed. 5. 500kV & 220kV CVT Specification and Connection to Distance Relay 21-A with (A/R) & 21-B with (A/R). As per Contract Specifications, the 500kV and 220kV CVTs specification with secondary windings burden and class rating is as under : Winding1 Winding2 110/ 3 V ,100VA, Class 0.2 110/ 3 V,100VA, Class 3P M/s NEIE / C.E (SP) / M/s BARQAAB M/s NEIE

Whereas the NTDC CVT Specification is as under, Winding1 Winding2 110/ 3 V , 75VA, Class 0.5 110/ 3 V , 200VA, Class 6P

M/s BARQAAB proposed to use secondary windings of CVT as class 0.2 winding connected to Distance Relay 21-A, 3-Phase Over Voltage Relay (59) & Metering, and the second winding of class 3P to be connected to Distance Relay 21-B and synchronizing Relay (25) having separate MCBs. As 0.2 & 3P class only determines the accuracy of voltage output, since metering requires more accuracy for which it is connected to 0.2 class winding; however class 0.2 is also better for Protection Relays than 3P Class winding. So there is no problem of connection of Protection Relays with 0.2 class core. The same connections have been adopted by M/s ABB for 500kV Line CVTs at existing Ghazi Barotha Substation. System Protection (NTDC) agreed the CVTs Secondary Circuit distribution as mentioned below only as a special case no precedence for other projects.
Winding1 Winding2 110/ 3 V , 100VA, Class 0.2 for 21-A, 59(3 phase) & Metering 110/ 3 V , 100VA, Class 3P for 21-B, 25

6.

Over Flux / Over Voltage Relay at 500kV Auto-Transformer Bank: It was decided that the Over fluxing relay shall be used as Built-in function of the Differential Relay and independent Over Voltage Relay shall be provided for Auto-transformer Bank.

Auto-Recloser on Distance Relay It was decided during the meeting that Auto-Rescloser will be required with both sets of the Distance Protection as independent units. M/s NEIE was advised to follow the same scheme. M/s NEIE

8.

Energy Meters at HV & LV Side of Auto-Transformers: M/s NEIE was advised that the Energy Meters shall be installed on both sides of the Auto-Transformer i.e. HV Side & LV Side. M/s NEIE

9.

Transducer Fed Meters: System protection (NTDC) advised the Contractor M/s NEIE that all the Analog Meters i.e Ampere, MW, kV, MVAR etc. shall be transducer fed. The Transducer mA DC Outputs will also be used for SCADA Measurements. M/s NEIE

10.

GPS Antenna for Time Synchronization: M/s NEIE proposed to use software enabled device for time synchronization at Shikarpur S/Station. System protection (NTDC) did not agree with the proposal and advised the Contractor M/s NEIE to use GPS Antenna for Time Synchronization as per NTDC practice. M/s NEIE

11.

IEC 61850 or 60870 for Protection Relay: M/s NEIE asked during the meeting to follow which standard i.e. either IEC 61850 or IEC 60870 for protection relays. M/s BARQAAB insisted to prefer on using IEC 61850-8-1 Communications Protocols over the 608705-103 for protection relays. However, System Protection (NTDC) advised the Contractor to provide IEC 61850-8-1 Communication Protocols. The Contractor argued that the manufacturer can only provide 60870-5-103 Communications Protocols in Protection Relays due to the reasons that IEC 61850-8-1 Communication Protocols are not available for Protection Relays. The Protection Relays in which IEC 61850-8-1 Communication Protocols are not available then IEC 60870-5-103 Communication Protocols will be acceptable.

M/s NEIE

12.

Inputs / Outputs of Protection Relays: The inputs / Outputs of the Protection Relays whether (24 or 32 nos.) shall fulfill the requirement of the Protection Scheme used by the Contractor. M/s NEIE is required to confirm that the Inputs / Outputs of the offered Relays will be sufficient for the Protection Scheme as per NTDC / WAPDA practice and shall submit the Protection Schematics accordingly. BARQAAB proposed that the binary inputs / outputs should be in accordance to the Protection Scheme Design with some spares available for future use. This should be left over to Protection Scheme Designer to choose the appropriate input / outputs, which will ultimately be checked during Protection Schematics approval by concerned engineers. Direct tripping from relay to trip coils by main protection relays shall be ensured. M/s NEIE / C.E (SP)

170781816.doc Route: MA/BAZ Page 4 of 5

Protection: System Protection NTDC insisted the Contractor M/s NEIE to provide Schneider Electric Relay type MiCOM P141 for Auto-Transformer and Transmission Line Over Current Protection against Schneider Electric Relay type MiCOM P127. M/s Barqaab claimed that the Relay P127 offered by M/s NEIE is justified and can serve the purpose of Line and Auto-Transformer Over Current Protection. Because P141 is Breaker Management Relay same as Bay Control Unit (BCU) having high price and extra features as compared to P127 which is primarily designed for Over Current function. M/s. BARQAB proposed Micom P127 as over current relay. 14. External Synchronizing Check Relay for Distance Relay: It was decided during the meeting that External Auto-Reclosure Relay with syncrocheck function is required as units with the Distance Protection Sets I & II independently. System Protection (NTDC) advised M/s NEIE that the Distance Relay internal auto-reclosure & syncrocheck function is not required. But the external auto-recloser shall be equipped with internal Synchro-check function. M/s NEIE
