Time : Three Hours *0454* Max. Marks : 80
_____________________________________________________________________
Notes : 1. Answer three questions from Section A and three questions from Section B.
2. Due credit will be given to neatness and adequate dimensions.
3. Assume suitable data wherever necessary.
4. Illustrate your answers wherever necessary with the help of neat sketches.
5. Use of slide rule and Non-programmable calculator is permitted.
SECTION A
1. a) Explain primary protection & Back-up protection. Draw necessary diagram. Explain types 8
of Back up protection.
3. a) Show the protection scheme of parallel feeders. Give the selection of relay with 6
justification.
4. a) Compare different types of distance relays & show their operating characteristics on R-X 6
diagram.
b) A line section has an impedance of 2.8+j5 ohms. Show this on R-X diagram as impedance 7
vector. If the arcing short circuit occurs having an impedance of (1.5+j0) ohms any where
along the line, find for each type of distance relay, the maximum portion of the line that can
be protected.

5. Write short notes on any two.
a) Induction cup relay. 6
b) Directional O/C relay 7
SECTION B
6. a) Draw differential protection scheme to protect delta-star transformer. Show operation & 7
non-operation of relay.
b) In percentage differential protection scheme of an alternator the relay has slope of 10%. The 7
high resistance ground fault occurs near the grounded neutral end. As a result the current
flowing at each end are (304+j0) Amp and (320+j0) Amp. Assume CT ratio of 400/5:
i) Find whether the relay trips the C.B.
ii) If alternator C. B. is open, find whether the relay operate.
b) A 5MVA, 6.6KV star connected alternator has a synchronous reactance of 2ohm/phase and 7
resistance of 0.5/phase. It is protected by a Merz-price balanced current system which
operates when out of balance current exceeds 30% of load current. Determine what portion
of alternator winding is unprotected if star point is earthed through a resistor of 6.5.
9. a) Explain in brief the recovery rate & energy balance theory applicable to current zero 6
interruption.
b) In a 132KV system, the inductance & capacitance upto the location of C.B. are 0.4H and 7
0.015 f respectively:
Determine:
i) The maximum value of restriking voltage.
ii) The maximum value of RRRV and
iii) The frequency of transient oscillation.
a) Buchholz relay. 7
