Introduction
• Relays at the Transmission terminals talk with
each other using telecommunication media.
• Pilot relays do not pick up for faults outside their
defined zone of protection.
• Pilot relays pick up instantaneously for faults
within their defined zone of protection.
• For increased reliability some type of backup
protection is also provided

• Remote tripping
• Transfer trip
• Line differential

Pilot Relaying Philosophy
500 KV Pilot Relaying Schemes:
• Redundant Pilot relaying systems
• Redundant Transfer Trip relaying systems
• One set of electromechanical relays as
backup protection system.
• Mix of communication system like Power
Line Carrier (PLC) and Microwave are
used for communication redundancy

Pilot Relaying Philosophy
220 KV Pilot Relaying Schemes:
• One Pilot relaying systems
• One set of electromechanical relays or
another Pilot relaying scheme with
microwave as communication channel are
used as backup protection system
• Mix of communication system like Power
Line Carrier (PLC) or Microwave are used
for communication redundancy
SCE Property
17
Pilot Relaying Philosophy
• Principle of Differential Relaying is applied for
instantaneous tripping for in zone faults
• Four wires, normally termed as Pilot Wires, run
in between substations to compare current
between terminals (Typical F/C 15ms – 25ms)
• HCB Relays from Westinghouse (ABB) are
predominantly used as Pilot relays for lines up to
20 miles.
• HCB relay contains Sequence filters, DC polar
unit with Operating and Restraining coils,
Insulating and Saturating Transformers

Pilot Relaying Philosophy
• Westinghouse (ABB) LCB relays are used for
Pilot Relaying for Transmission lines from 20 to
250 miles length.
• The communication medium is Fiber Optics
• The relay contains Sequence Filter, Transmitter
Modulator ( 1 Ph -> FM), Receiver De Modulator
(FM –> 1Ph), Phase comparison Unit (compare
currents at Local/ Remote terminal)
• For out of zone fault, the signals would be out of
phase and in phase for fault in the zone.

Phase Comparison Relaying
• Relay combination used with phase comparison systems are SLD or
SKBU carrier relaying and CO( Residual Ground)/ ICC (Directional
ground).
• Phase comparison relaying compares current phasors at local and
remote terminals. Line and Neutral potential are not required.
• Faults in the protected zone would cause the currents to trip in less
than 3 cycles
• Fault detector turns on carrier signal during Fault
• Transmitter generates blocking pulse during negative half cycle.
• During external fault both transmitters produce additive blocking
pulse for the full cycle.
• During internal fault out of phase pulse cancel blocking pulse,
allowing the relay to trip.

SPCU relays are used for Phase comparison for Phase and Phase to
Ground faults
Microwave is used for communication of current phasors. Guard signals
are transmitted for communication health. Relay trips in 9 cycles on loss
of guard signal. Noise on communication channel will block tripping.
SRU/ UIO as auxiliary relay for annunciation purpose
Directional comparison blocking ( SLYP/ SLYN) compares current
direction at both terminals to determine in zone or out of zone faults to
block tripping
SLYP provides Zone1 element ( 80% of line: instantaneous trip with
TT), Zone2 (125% of Line) (Instantaneous for in zone fault and TT or
blocking signal for out of zone faults) and Zone3 (180% of line sends
blocking signal out of zone faults)
SLYN provides Directional overcurrent, trip for in zone faults and block
for out of zone faults
SCE Property
24
DCB Philosophy
• Impedance relays trip instantaneously for z1 faults
covering 80% of line
• Over reaching impedance relays with z2 faults operate
with time delay covering 125% of the line
• Directional comparison Blocking (DCB) allows over
reaching relays to trip instantaneously by blocking out of
zone faults
• Thus Phase Distance Relays and ground over current
relays can provide instantaneous protection for in zone
faults
• Only one Communication channel is used for sending
blocking signal only , used with PLC schemes

Typical Transfer Trip Relaying
• Transfer Trip schemes are another flavor of Directional comparison
schemes, where two relays communicate to trip rather than block.
• The two frequencies transmitted through two communication
channels are:
– Guard frequency to keep guard relays closed to block tripping over
channel noise
– Tripping Frequency to allow tripping relay to pickup and trip circuit
breakers
• Basic Transfer trip Schemes:
– Direct Transfer Trip (DTP)
• Direct Overreaching Transfer Trip (DOTT) – 125%
• Direct Under reaching Transfer Trip (DUTT) – 80%
– Permissive Transfer Trip
• Permissive Overreaching Transfer Trip (POTT) – 125 %
• Permissive Under reaching Transfer Trip (PUTT) –80%
SCE Property
27
Typical PUTT Relaying Scheme
•
Typical PUTT Relaying Scheme would have following components:
– 3 GCX (Directional Distance Relays ( Z1, Z2 and Z3 protection)
– Z2 and Z3 timer provides backup delayed tripping to POTT
– 1 JBCG directional Ground Relays
– 2 Transmitter and Receiver systems
– 2 Transfer Trip communication channels
– 1 Ground Fault detector relay (SC)
– 1 HD Balance relay to be used as backup for Transfer Tripping
– Trip signal at Remote terminal is enabled only when both transmitters
are keyed to trip simultaneously, if Local and Remote permissive trip
signal is available
– Loss of Guard signal for six cycles continuously will disable the channel
equipment and if it continues for more than 2 seconds resulting into
alarm and if alarm is continuous, then the relays are made inactive

Typical POTT Relaying Scheme
•
Typical POTT Relaying Scheme would have following components:
– 3 CEY (Impedance relay with zone 2 timer- starts at fault detection)
– 1 SLYG directional Ground Relays
– 2 GE Type 40 Transmitter and Receiver systems
– 2 Transfer Trip communication channels (Primary/ Secondary)
– When a terminal receives the shift from Guard to trip frequency and a
trip signal is present from Local relay, the local CB will trip
– Zone 2 timer is reset after the fault is cleared
– If zone 2 timer times out it will trip the local CBs irrespective of Tone
signals from receiver to provide a backup protection
– If the fault is out of zone, then relay at the remote terminal will not
pickup and removes the Guard frequency, preventing local relay to trip
– Loss of Guard signal for six cycles continuously will disable the channel
equipment and continuous alarm will deactivate the relays

Issues in Relay Communication
• Optical fiber cable damage or too high output from
communications interface causes loss of channel signal
alarm and may need attenuation or proper splice tray
connection.
• T1 communication standard (DS1) requires transmittal of
at least one pulse within any eight bit sequence. Loss of
synchronization and unlocked frequency clocks could
result in frame slips. Resulting in data loss.
• Leased Phone Lines need CSU channels as
demarcation point between vendor and customer’s
communication terminals. Interference on the cable/
CSU may cause loss of signal.
SCE Property

Issues in Relay Communication
• High induced voltages across pilot wire possibly caused
by faults or lightning could cause induced fluxes and rise
in ground voltage. This is remediated through provision
of neutralizing reactors, voltage limiting circuits or surge
suppressors.
• Open or shorted pilot wires are monitored and resulting
erroneous trip signals are blocked.
