ABSTRACT:
Protection systems for electrical systems such as substation power dividers are described. The protection systems may be designed and used to detect and clear faults that may occur within the substation power dividers. For example, a first Rogowski coil may be used to detect current along a primary conductor, and output a corresponding current signal to a multi-function, differential relay having multiple voltage and current inputs. Similarly, additional Rogowski coils may be used at each of a plurality of secondary feeders, where power from the primary feeder may be distributed to the secondary feeders using a connection bus. By comparing the signals from the first Rogowski coil and the additional Rogowski coils, the differential relay may determine whether a fault exists at some point along the conductor(s) and between the first Rogowski coils and the additional Rogowski coils, including whether a fault is associated with the connection bus. Further, the relay may then, in response to the fault, trip a circuit breaker or other network protection device, so that the fault may be corrected.
