1. Introduction
The majority of high voltage feeders on the RailCorp electrical network have a pilot wire
protection scheme installed.
Where there is a pilot wire scheme installed, then in addition to the schematic diagrams produced
for the individual equipment at either end of the scheme, an overall "Pilot Wire Schematic"
drawing is required to be produced.
If an existing pilot wire scheme is being modified and there is not an existing pilot wire schematic
drawing, then the project is responsible for producing a pilot wire schematic drawing.
Where an additional substation is installed between two existing substations and hence the
existing pilot wire scheme becomes two schemes there shall be a pilot wire schematic for each
individual scheme. The project is responsible for producing the pilot wire schematics.
Current transformers (including CT's used for other protection schemes) with secondary
circuitry connection to the pilot wire relay. CT's to be shown in correct position and
polarity identified.

1 Introduction
This document covers the Protection System requirements for the RailCorp High Voltage
AC Network for 11kV, 33kV, 66kV and 132kV system voltages.
This document does not include protection requirements for the 1500V DC system.
These protection requirements cover general design principles for protection schemes, as
well as requirements relating specifically to the protection equipment. They do not
include equipment used for detection and measurement of non-electrical protection
parameters (such as oil and gas sudden pressure change, fibre optic temperature
measurement), other than to specify necessary interface details.
The correct design, implementation and management of the overall protection system are
critical to the safe and reliable operation of the RailCorp power system. As such, all
design processes for the protection system must follow the RailCorp Engineering Design
Management Procedures.
All new installations, modified and refurbished existing installations must comply with the
requirements in this document.
High voltage protection systems existing at the date of release of this document are not
affected by the requirements of this document.

Substation The following are locations within the RailCorp electrical network which are
classified as system substations for the purpose of this document.

distribution substations that use HV fuses for protection are not classed as system
substations.
4.1 General
In designing the protection schemes for RailCorps high voltage network, the following
general principles shall be applied:
All high voltage faults shall be detected and able to be cleared by two independent
sets of protection (primary and backup). Either may be circuit breakers or fuses.
The primary and backup protection schemes shall be independent. All HV circuit
breakers shall be equipped with dual trip coils.
Where primary and backup protection is installed in the same substation, that
substation shall have two battery systems. Some substations are exempt from this
requirement. This exemption is based on risk exposure considering safety, operational
impact, economic and environmental considerations.
The rated continuous thermal current of the CTs shall not constrain the rating of
associated power system elements.
Primary protection shall be implemented using unit schemes wherever practical.
The protection schemes shall be designed to eliminate or manage blind spots.

4.2 P
rotection Settings
The protection shall be set to operate at not more than 2/3 of the minimum phase to
phase fault and not more than 2/3 of the minimum earth fault.
The overcurrent protection settings shall, as far as practicable, be at least 1.5 times
the maximum load current.
Fault clearing times shall be minimised.
4.3 G
rading
The protection shall be graded to ensure that the fault is cleared by the protection
closest to the fault, and the area of interruption is minimised.
A 0.3 second grading margin shall be provided as far as practicable for protection in
series except that breaker fail timers shall be 0.2 second.
Relay settings shall be, as far as practicable, at least 1.5 times the highest
downstream setting.
The primary and backup schemes shall use separate trip coils, one trip coil for
the primary scheme the second trip coil for the backup scheme. Refer to
Appendix B for standard trip coil arrangements and Appendix N for typical HV
switchboard arrangements.
The backup scheme (protection relay, trip coil control and supply) shall have its
auxiliary supply from a dedicated circuit originating at the distribution board.
Where two DC auxiliary supplies are required (see Section 5.5) the primary protection
scheme is to be supplied by battery A and the backup protection scheme supplied by
battery B.
SCADA monitored trip circuit supply supervision with local indication shall be
provided for all tripping circuits. The TCS scheme shall monitor with the ACCB
in the open or closed position.
The auxiliary supply for each bus-zone protection scheme (protection and multi-
trip relays) shall have its auxiliary supply from a dedicated circuit originating at
the distribution board. Fuse protection and monitoring shall be provided with the
monitoring relay connected to the SCADA system.
Individual protection schemes to be connected to dedicated current
transformers.

Protection System Requirements for the High Voltage Network EP 19 00 00 02 SP
It is not economically feasible to install additional CTs (eg. Circuit breaker would have
to be replaced; additional post type CTs would be required.)
The protection schemes are not the primary and backup protection for the same
equipment.
A failure of the CTs will not result in a piece of equipment having no protection due to
an existing compromise in the protection system.
The output of the current transformers shall be sufficient for the burden of all the
connected protection schemes and associated equipment to ensure each scheme
operates as required up to the available fault level.
5.2.4 Inter-trip
If the breaker fail function is associated with a feeder that does not have a dedicated
ACCB, then it is acceptable to implement an inter-trip by destabilising the pilot wire
schemes of feeders that are a possible source of fault current. When destabilising the
pilot wire schemes this must be implemented at the pilot wire relay.
The CT shall be easily replaceable and shall be installed with polarity markings assuming
supply from the bus in all cases. All secondary leads shall be terminated in individual
links in the appropriate compartment where the CT is installed and the earth point formed
by using a proprietary cross connection for the links being used. The CTs shall be
earthed at one point. This single point earth is to be within the applicable LV
compartment.
CTs shall be rigidly clamped to prevent movement under short circuit conditions. They
shall be provided with rating plates and terminal markings as specified in AS 60044.1.
The rating plates shall be mounted in such a manner that they are visible, and the
secondary terminals shall be readily accessible. Duplicate rating plates shall be mounted
in the instrument compartment with connection diagram.

The majority of existing CTs installed in the RailCorps system has a rated secondary
current of 5A. With the installation of GIS switchgear, the reduced space available for
CTs has resulted in the necessity to install CTs with a rated secondary current of 1A.
CTs shall safely withstand the mechanical and thermal stresses set up by a short circuit
equal to the full short circuit rating of the switchgear. CTs shall have a minimum rated
continuous thermal current of at least 150% of rated primary current unless modified by
the RFT for the specific location.
See Section 6.1.5 for CT location requirements for 33 & 66kV Feeders.
See Section 6.3.4 for CT location requirements for HV Busbars and Bus-Ties.
The CT terminals shall be clearly marked to enable correct changing of the ratio. The
associated rating plate shall also be marked with the information to enable correct
changing of the ratio.
Differential schemes 5P
Overcurrent & earth fault 10P
The rated short time current shall have a minimum rating equal to the short time
withstand current of the associated switchboard or circuit breaker.
Appendix B has a table listing the typical ratio and designation of current transformers,
which are preferred for use in the RailCorp electrical network.
As a general guide the following are typical class of accuracy used in the RailCorp
network:
0.5 class for general tariff metering such as supplies to shops, workshops etc.
2.0 class for general measurement such as transducers and ammeters.
The measurement current transformers shall have the same ratio and rated continuous
thermal current as the associated protection CTs on the circuit.

The wiring shall be connected to the associated protection relay (or meter) via a test
block that allows isolation of the relay / metering and short-circuiting of the current
transformer secondary. If the relay test blocks are not integral with the relay enclosure,
test blocks of the type Schneider MMLG01 shall be provided.

High voltage fuse protection of VTs is not mandatory and is only required where
necessitated by equipment design.
The requirement for a residual winding is dependent on the type of protection relays to be
used.
For maintenance, and for the commissioning of protection relays, it shall be possible to
simulate the voltage conditions that would occur during earth faults and the supplier shall
explain how this is achieved. A typical way to achieve this is to remove the high-voltage
fuse in any one phase and earth that phase of the voltage transformer.
Terminal blocks for VT secondary wiring shall provide 4mm sockets for the connection of
test equipment.
All ACCBs shall be individually supplied from the 125V DC or 48V DC distribution
board(s). The majority of RailCorp locations have an auxiliary supply of 125V DC, other
locations have a supply of 48V DC.
In each ACCB, distinct control circuits and equipment shall be individually fused. The
fuses shall be sized to ensure there is discrimination.
The following is a list of typical ACCB circuits and equipment that would be individually
protected by fuses.

Connectivity of the substation (4 or more high voltage feeders) within the RailCorp
electrical network.
Maximum high voltage fault level and the margin to the rated short-time withstand
current capacity of the switchgear installed at the substation.
Criticality of the substation within the rail system. (eg. Main supply substation for city
circle, rail tunnel, rail junction, last traction substation on a radial rail line).
Where primary and backup protection is installed in the same substation, that
substation shall have two battery systems. Some substations are exempt from this
requirement. This exemption is based on risk exposure considering safety, operational
impact, economic and environmental considerations.
Complexity of the protection schemes and any resulting compromises in the protection
coordination.
The associated main distribution boards of the battery systems are to be capable of being
paralleled.
The two battery systems shall be of equal capacity and individually be rated for the full
load and duty cycle of the substation. Refer to EP 06 00 00 01 SP System Substation
Battery for further details.
Refer to Section 5.1 and Appendix C for specific requirements relating to protection
schemes when there are two auxiliary supplies at a substation.
Appendix A has a table listing the protection relays which are currently approved for use
in the RailCorp electrical network.
When specifying the type of protection relay to be used consideration must be given to
ensure adequate integrated system support including availability of system spares.

System transformers and 11kV/415V transformers shall have a close inhibit contact in
both the primary and secondary ACCB closing circuits where fitted.
If a protection relay has more than one function (eg A and C overcurrent elements),
then where practical each function shall have a separate alarm output.
Refer to Appendix A for protection relays currently preferred for use in the RailCorp
Electrical Network for type of inter-trip relay.
If there are no spare pilots in the existing pilot cable, the inter-trip may be achieved by
manipulating the feeder pilot wire scheme.
A minimum of 15kV isolation shall be provided to avoid transfer of voltages across the
pilots. This may be achieved by using an inter-trip relay that provides isolation at both
ends of the scheme.

It is preferred that the feeder pilot wire relay provides this function. Where the pilot wire
relay does not have this function an overcurrent and earth fault relay (with directional
capabilities) shall be provided to implement the breaker fail scheme. A contact from the
pilot wire relay shall be connected to the overcurrent and earth fault relay, which will
initiate an internal timer (nominally set to 0.2s). If the fault has not been cleared within this
time all possible sources of supply shall have their ACCBs tripped. All ACCBs on the
same busbar section as the failed ACCB shall be tripped via a multi-trip relay.
The buszone multi-trip relay shall be used for this purpose where fitted, otherwise the
multi-trip relay shall be an MTM relay for an indoor switchboard and an MTA relay for an
outdoor busbar.
However where this is not practicable, the current transformers for feeder protection may
be located on the line side of the feeder circuit breaker. In this arrangement an inter-trip
shall be provided to trip the feeder circuit breaker at the far end of the feeder whenever
the local feeder circuit breaker is tripped. The far end circuit breaker is only required to
trip if fault current is flowing through that circuit breaker.
Refer to Appendix Q for specific current and voltage transformer requirements applicable
to bulk supply points.
Details of the ammeter, metering and their connection are specified in the appropriate
switchgear standard.

The criticality of the installation, accessibility of the 11kV feeder and the fault level
determines the type of protection to be provided.
All pilot wire schemes shall include pilot circuit supervision. This can be implemented
either as a function of the pilot wire relay or using dedicated pilot circuit supervision
equipment.
Where the primary protection scheme is not required to be a pilot wire scheme, the
feeder shall be protected with an over-current and earth fault scheme.
Where the primary protection is a pilot wire scheme, the backup over-current and earth
fault scheme can be located on the same circuit breaker panel, however the scheme
must operate via a separate protection relay and ACCB trip coil.
Where the primary protection is not a pilot wire scheme, the backup over-current and
earth fault scheme shall operate via a circuit breaker and current transformers that are
not part of the primary scheme.
Where the primary protection is an overcurrent and earth fault scheme and is located on
a 11kV switchboard supplied directly from a transformer, a neutral leakage relay shall be
used as backup protection for earth faults.

Protection System Requirements for the High Voltage Network EP 19 00 00 02 SP
If the feeders are protected by a pilot wire scheme then the appropriate upstream circuit
breaker(s) shall be tripped. A time delay (0.2s) shall be provided to avoid nuisance
tripping.
However where this is not practicable, the current transformers for feeder protection can
be located on the line side of the feeder circuit breaker. This is subject to RailCorp
approval.
Details of the ammeter, metering and their connection are specified in the appropriate
switchgear standard.
The requirement for 11kV indoor switchgear to have bus zone protection depends
whether the location is a:
strategic location
location with high fault levels
location where there is more than one busbar section
The traditional high impedance bus-zone protection scheme using CTs is an approved
RailCorp scheme. A fault detection scheme that has been type tested and is an integral
system within the switchgear may be offered for consideration by RailCorp and if
approved will be the preferred scheme.
Strategically important outdoor 33kV and 66kV busbars shall also have high impedance
bus zone protection as the primary protection. The criteria for this decision will be
provided in a later version of this document.

associated bus-section shall be tripped. Close inhibit shall also be implemented, refer to
Section 5.7
The tripping of circuit breakers on an indoor switchboard shall be via a MTM relay. The
tripping of circuit breakers on an outdoor busbar shall be via an MTA relay.
The scheme shall be arranged to trip the circuit breakers at both ends of the tie cable via
a manually reset multi-trip relay. Close inhibit shall also be implemented, refer to Section
5.7.
The backup protection for a bus-tie shall be upstream over-current and earth fault
protection except where the switchboard directly interfaces with a Supply Authority.
Where the switchboard interfaces with a Supply Authority the bus-tie cables shall have a
duplicate high impedance protection scheme as the backup protection. Refer to Appendix
A for the type of relay to be used.
The current transformers for protection of the bus-tie cables shall be located on the
busbar side of the tie circuit breaker.
Where the current transformers for the feeder, bus-tie, or transformer circuits are not
located on the busbar side of the circuit breaker and the bus zone scheme is used to
cover the blind spots between the circuit breakers and the CTs, then the bus-zone
scheme shall also initiate tripping of the circuit breakers at the far end of the feeder or tie
cable, or on the other winding of the transformer.
If the transformer is cable connected (terminals/bushings are not exposed), the circuit
breaker shall be tripped via a MTM relay for earth faults.
The overcurrent elements are required to operate when a fault on the +1500V DC busbar
(constant voltage arc of 400V between positive busbar and negative used in calculation)
is detected.
A current transducer shall be provided in the B protection circuit. The transducer output

The following tables detail the ratio and designation of the majority of current
transformers, which are used in the existing RailCorp electrical network for typical
schemes on the 66kV & 33kV high voltage system.
These tables do not detail current transformers used with 1A secondaries or for new
equipment or installations.
The current transformer designation details are calculated based on the following
parameters:
Maximum CT secondary lead (loop) length of 20m with 2.5mm2 size cable for indoor
equipment and a lead (loop) length of 150m with 16mm2 size cable for outdoor
equipment.
CT core knee point flux density of 1.45T
System X/R = 5
MICOM P521 relay, refer to general equations for X/R<40 and tIdiff = 0.1s.
MBCI relay, refer to general equations, X=1, large X/R, Kt = 20.
Overcurrent and earth fault relays, Vk = In*If*(Rrelay+Rct+Rleads), with relay burdens
as specified by the manufacturer.
Where the equipment to be protected is not in the following tables or the standard
parameters above are not applicable then the protection CT requirements must be
determined on an individual basis.

In general, one auto re-close in 5 seconds by SCADA (ie the master station initiates the
auto re-close if all the requirements are met).
During periods of total fire ban the auto re-close is inhibited on 33kV and 66kV feeders
that traverse areas considered to be a bush fire risk . This is a master station function
initiated by the ESO's.
Auto re-close is also automatically inhibited for 10 minutes after a close control.

The following is a list of typical protection alarms required. The exact alarm requirement
depends on the following factors:
Type of relay
Capacity of RTU
Function of relay
Value adding of the alarm information to the EOC operator and RailCorp Protection
Engineer.
In many existing locations some of the protection alarms (eg. TCS) are connected in
parallel for each piece of equipment to give one general alarm. This was due to the
limitations on the quantity of alarms that could be connected to the RTU at the time of
installation.

Numerical protection relays can be used to convey the information by using discrete
output relays or via serial links. However certain information is critical for system
operation and must be independent on the protection relay or communication link to the
RTU.
The following list details the SCADA alarms and control that are required to be hard wired
to the RTU.
* If all circuit breakers on a switchboard are not fitted with numerical relays having
adequate RS485 communications to the RTU

Labels should be located above the relay. If this is not possible, then they
should be located directly below the relay.
Colour of Labels:
All protection relays labels shall have black writing on a yellow background.
All auxiliary relays (such as multi-trip relays) shall have black writing on a white
background.
Format
To keep the length of labels to a minimum, abbreviations shall be used for the
protection functions. The valid abbreviations are detailed in Table 12.
All labels are to be in CAPITALS (except for abbreviations such as Tx & kV).
The description of equipment shall be consistent with terminology as used in the
AC operating diagrams. This is summarised below:
FEEDERS: Feeder ID ;
Where Feeder ID is the unique 3 digit identification assigned to each high
voltage feeder.
TRANSFORMERS: Unit ID + voltage ratio + Tx ;
Where Unit ID is the identification given where there are multiple transformers
(eg. No.1, No.2 etc). voltage ratio is the voltage ratio of the transformer
usually expressed in kV (eg. 33/11kV, 66/33kV).
RECTIFERS: Unit ID + RECTIFIER
