Abstract :
The reliability of an industrial power system can be increased by proper selection and application of protective relays. This is especially true for the medium-voltage distribution system. An effective protective relay application scheme is presented that uses devices widely used in present pulp and paper mill power distribution systems. The effective use of summation overcurrent and directional overcurrent relays for multisource generator buses makes it possible for the power system protective engineer to achieve good selective operation between source buses for both phase and ground fault current conditions. This greatly enhances the reliability of the power distribution system
