Differential Protection Symposium
Belo HorizonteNovember 2005
Conclusions
ü Combined distance and differential protection relays , together with
modern comms, allow to enhance line protection in a cost saving way.
üThe dissimilar protection principles complement each other perfectly.
üDistance and differential protection can both be configured as phase
segregated teleprotectionschemes allowing absolute phase selective fault
clearance and autoreclosureeven with complex cross county and inter-
circuit faults.
üDigital relay to relay commsallows to exchange data for upgraded two
sided fault locating.
üUsing a single relay type for distance and/or differential protection also
saves on cost in investment and operation.
