DOUBLE MAIN BUS & TRANSFER BUS SYSTEM
1. In This Two Main Buses Are Available.
2. They Are Called Bus-1 & Bus-2.
3. One More Bus Is Available. This is Not Main Bus.
4. We Call As Transfer Bus Or Auxiliary Bus Or Temporary Bus.
5. This is Useful only, When any Of the Circuit Breaker (only One) Is Out Of Service Or
Maintenance Or Trouble.
6. If One Of the Circuit Breaker in Trouble, This Is More Useful.
7. If Second Circuit Breaker is also in Trouble, then This Is Not Useful.
8. Most Of The Time, The Auxiliary Bus Is Kept Open.
9. Based On My Experience, Now a Days, this May Be Least Useful.
10. Note: Checking of Every Month, One Day, One Feeder is to be Kept On Transfer Bus and to
Ascertain Healthiness Of Transfer Bus. This is to be Followed Regularly, Then the Transfer
Bus is Available When Emergency Occurs.
11. But, this System is Not Useful For CT Troubles or any other Equipment Troubles.
12. The Tentative Substation Layout Is Shown In Next Slide.
13. This System is adopted When ABCBs, BOCBs, MOCBs Are Available.
14. The ABCBs, BOCBs, MOCBs Requires Regular Maintenance.
15. The reason behind for Adoption of Transfer Bus System is, During The Maintenance of
Circuit Breaker, the Consumer Should Not Suffer.
16. Now A Days SF6 CBs With Trouble Free Mechanisms are Coming and all Substations are
having Redundant or Alternative Source of supply is Available, Still Following This Concept is
Some What Unhappy.
17. The Location of CT is after Line Isolator and towards Line. This is also one more
Disadvantage.
18. For Maintenance Of CT, The Line is to be Taken LC and Remove the Jumpers And to Test.
19. This Type Of One More Unhappy System Is Available i.e. Double Bus With Bypass Isolator.

DOUBLE MAIN BUS & TRANSFER BUS SYSTEM
1. NORMALLY EACH FEEDER / TRANSFORMER / REACTOR IS TO BE CONNECTED TO EITHER
BUS-1 OR BUS-2, NOT BOTH.
2. THE CONCEPT BEHIND IS WHEN EITHER OF THE BUS BAR PROTECTION OPERATES
ATLEAST 50% CIRCUITS WILL BE IN SERVICE.
3. FOR MAINTANENCE POINT OF VIEW IT IS HAPPY THAT ALL CIRCUITS KEPT ON ONE BUS
AND ANOTHER BUS CAN BE TAKEN IN TO MAINTANENCE.
4. NORMALLY BUS-1 OR BUS-2 SELECTION IS TO BE DONE BEFORE CHARGING CIRCUIT.
5. APTRANSCO STANDARD PRACTICE, IN CASE OF DOUBLE CIRCUIT, ONE CIRCUIT ON BUS-
1 AND CIRCUIT -2 ON BUS-2.
6. FOR EXAMPLE VEMAGIRI-1 & 2 FEEDERS ARE AVAILABLE, VEMAGIRI -1CONNECTED ON
BUS-1 AND VEMAGIRI-2 CONNECTED ON BUS-2.
7. IN CASE OF TRANSFORMER ICT-1 CONNECTED ON BUS-1 AND ICT-2 CONNECTED ON
BUS-2.
8. THE BUS COUPLER BREAKER IS ALWAYS IN SERVICE. THE BUS-1 & 2 ISOLATORS BOTH
ARE CLOSSED POSITION.
9. DURING SERVICE, CHANGE OVER BUS IS NOT A PRACTICE, HOWEVER THIS IS POSSIBLE
WHEN BUS COUPLER IS CLOSSED CONDITION ONLY. PLEASE REFER THE INTERLOCK
CIRCUIT OF ANY FEEDER.
10. DURING SERVICE THE CHANGING OF BUS PROCEDURE IS AS FOLLOWS: IF THE CIRCUIT
IS CONNECTED ON BUS-1, CLOSE BUS-2 ISO AND OPEN BUS-1 ISO. SIMILARLY FOR BUS-2
TO BUS-1 CHANGE OVER. DONOT PRACTICE REGULARLY. THIS IS PURELY FOR
EMERGENCY AND WHEN BOTH ISOLATORS & CB OF BUS COUPLER IS CLOSSED
CONDITION ONLY.
11. THE ISOLATOR SELECTION IS GOING TO BUSBAR PROTECTION. i.e. IF BUS-1 ISO CLOSES
CT IS CONNECTED TO BUSBAR-1 PROTECTION OR BUS-2 ISO CLOSES CT IS CONNECTED
TO BUSBAR-2 PROTECTION.
12. DURING BUS BAR PROTECTION OPERATES, THE BAYS CONNECTED TO THAT BUS AND
BUSCOUPLER CBs ARE OPENED. THIS EXPLAINED IN BUSBAR PROTECTION IN NEXT
SLIDES.
DOUBLE MAIN BUS & TRANSFER BUS SYSTEM
1. NORMALLY TRANSFER BUS COUPLER CB & ISOs ARE ALWAYS IN OPEN CONDITION.
2. WHEN ANY OF THE CB TROUBLE COMES THAT WILL BE TRANSFERED TO AUXILIARY BUS
AND THAT CIRCUIT IS FED FROM AUX BUS.
3. THE OPERATION OF TRANSFER BUS WILL BE EXPLAINED IN NEXT SLIDES.
4. FROM THE SAMPLE LAYOUT WE ARE PRESUMED THAT FEEDER-1, ICT-1 & FEEDER-3 ARE
CONNECTED ON BUS-1 AND FEEDER-2, ICT-2 & FEEDER-4 ARE CONNECTED ON BUS-2.
5. BUS COUPLER CB & ISOLATORS ARE IN SERVICE.
6. DURING THIS CHANGE OVER TO TRANSFER BUS, THE TRIPPING CIRCUITS ARE
TRANSFERRED TO TRANSFER BUS COUPLER CB.
7. DURING THE CIRCUIT IS CONNECTED ON TRANSFER BUS COUPLER, IF FAULT OCCURS
ON CIRCUIT, THE PROTECTIVE RELAYS WILL GIVE TRIP SIGNAL TO CONCERNED CB AND
TRANSFER BUS CB.
8. THIS CAN BE AVOIDED BY USING SOME MORE LOGIC.
9. THE TBC CT ONE CORE IS CONNECTED TO SELECTION OF BUSBAR PROTECTION EITHER
BUS-1 & BUS-2 BASED ON ISOLATOR SELECTION.
10. ANOTHER CORE IS CONNECTED TO BUS-3 BUSBAR PROTECTION.
11. THIS IS EXPLAINED IN BUS BAR PROTECTION PRESENTATION.
12. IN TRANSFER BUS PANEL, AUTO RECLOSURE RELAY IS AVAILABLE. THIS IS USEFUL
WHEN ANY FEEDER IS CONNECTED TO TBC, THEN IT IS USEFUL.
13. IN TRANSFER BUS PANEL, TBC LBB RELAY IS ALSO AVAILABLE.
14. DURING THE OPERATION OF TRANSFERING THE CIRCUIT TO THE TBC, THE COMPLETE
SEQUENCE IS TO BE FOLLOWED. ANY THING WRONG, THEN ALARM WILL COME. THE
OPERATION COMPLETES PERFECTLY THE ALARM WILL DISAPPEAR.
15. NORMAL CONVENTIONAL SYSTEM WE ARE PROVIDING TTS SWITCH. THIS IS TRIP
TRANSFER SWITCH. IN NORMAL MODE TRIPING IS DONE FOR PARTICULAR CIRCUIT
BREAKER, IF IT IS TRANSFER MODE THE TRIP CIRCUIT IS PARALLED AND EXTENDED TO
TBC CIRCUIT BREAKER BAY.
16. IN AUTOMATION SYSTEM, THE LATCH RELAY MAY PROVIDE, FOR THIS OPERATION AND
THAT CAN BE OPERATED FROM BCU/ REMOTE.

GENERAL

¾ Some broad guidelines for Engineering of Protection

System are given below and could be refined if felt
necessary by the Utility according to its specific
needs and practices.
¾ Wherever two sets of DC sources are available, to
obtain redundancy and to be able to take protection
out for maintenance, while equipment.
¾ in service, the relays are electrically and physically
segregated into two groups.
¾ Interconnection between these two groups shall not
generally be attempted.
¾ Segregation of protections and trip circuits in two
groups may be considered by giving DC supplies
through separate fuses.
CBIP Guidelines on Protection
GR-A & GR-B TRIPPINGS

For 400kV stations there shall be two separate Battery Systems

available for Protection, Control & Tripping/ Closing operations.
To obtain Redundancy and to be able to take Protection out for
Maintenance, while equipment is in service, the Relays are
Electrically and Physically segregated in to Two groups.
Grouping is done to the extent possible in such a way that each
group can independently carryout Protective functions with near
equal redundancy. Inter connection of these two groups shall not
be generally be attempted.
Distribution of DC supply shall be done bay wise to feed the
following
1. Protection
2. CB control
3. Isolator / earth switch control
4. Annunciation / indication
CBIP Guidelines on Protection
GR-A & GR-B TRIPPINGS

a) Protection Function:
For each group of protection, separate DC sources
are recommended.
Example: Group-1: 21L1, 87T1, 67HV, 87R, 87BB1
Group-2: 21L2, 87T2, 67LV, 21R, 87BB2
b) CB Functions
Trip coil 1 & 2 shall be fed from separate sources.
Closing coil can be from either of these two sources.
c) Isolator / Earth switch
These associated with any one circuit shall be fed
from one of the two DC sources.
In the case of One and half (1 & ½) CB arrangement,
the Isolator / Earth switch associated with the tie CB
can be fed from either source 1 or 2.
CBIP Guidelines on Protection
GR-A & GR-B TRIPPINGS

d) Annunciation & Indication

For each bay, these functions can be fed from either
one of the two sources. Each function shall be fed
however through separate feeds.
e) Monitoring Functions
These shall be grouped in 3 groups
(i) Disturbance Recorders
(ii) Fault Locators
(iii) Event Loggers
All the three groups shall be fed through separate
feeds from either of the two sources.
Now days Numerical IEDs / Protective Relays are
Having above functions are offered as inbuilt. Most of
the Utilities are accepting this.
CBIP Guidelines on Protection
Cabling

It is recommended that:
(i) Separate cables are used for AC & DC circuit.
(ii) Separate cables are used for DC 1 & DC 2 circuits.
(iii) For different cores of CT & CVT separate cables
shall be used.

 AUTO RECLSOING FUNCTION
AUTO RECLOSING CIRCUITS:
Arrangement of Relays
When Line is Transferred to Transfer Bus, Auto Reclosing Facility for This CB can be
extended in Two Ways
* CB Oriented
1. Individual Auto reclosure and Synchro-check relay for each CB . Hence co-
operation between CB’s and Synchro-check relay etc., is straight forward.
2. Interconnection between Line relays and reclosure relays complicated.
* LINE Oriented
1. Interconnection between Line relays and reclosure relays Simpler.
2. Connections to CB Oriented equipments complicated.
Note: CB Oriented Arrangement is preferred.

 BASICS OF LBB/BFR PROTECTION
LOCAL BREAKER BACKUP PROTECTION

A PROTECTION WHICH IS DESIGNED TO CLEAR A

SYSTEM FAULTY BY INITIATING TRIPPING OTHER CIRCUIT
BREAKER(S) IN THE CASE OF FAILURE TO TRIP OF THE
APPROPRIATE CIRCUIT BREAKER.

BREAKER BACK-UP

BECAUSE OF THE HIGH COST OF HIGH VOLTAGE

CIRCUIT BREAKERS, IT IS NOT FEASIBLE TO DUPLICATE
THEM.
IN CASE OF A BREAKER FAILURE THE OTHER CIRCUIT
BREAKERS CONNECTED TO THE SAME BUS AS THE FAULTED
BREAKER MUST THERE FORE BE TRIPPED.

CLEARENCE BREAKERS

The Breaker Failure Protection (LBB/BFR) can operate single-stage/two-

stage.
When used as single-stage protection, the Bus trip command is given to
the adjacent Circuit Breakers if the protected feeder Breaker fails.
When used as two-stage protection, the first stage can be used to
repeat the trip command to the relevant feeder Breaker, normally on a
different trip coil, if the initial trip command from the feeder protection
is not successful. The second stage will result in a Bus trip to the
adjacent Breakers, if the command of the first stage is not successful.
