This paper discusses communications conditions, such as bandwidth limitations, latency, and packet loss, and analyzes them with respect to SV-based protection. We examine the impacts of SV data loss on line percentage differential, Alpha Plane differential, and line. An SV-based system includes merging units (MUs) that convert analog signals to SV, Ethernet network switches, a high-accuracy time source, fiber-optic cables, and SV relays, all connected to a communications network. Selectivity is a mandatory requirement for all protection, but the importance of it depends on the application. For example, unselective protection operation during a medium voltage network fault will cause an outage for an unnecessarily large number of consumers. Protective Relays - Technical Seminar Nov 2016 - Copyright: IEEE 2 Abstract: Protective relays and devices have been developed over 100 years ago to provide "lastline"of defense for the electrical systems. This document includes: The document is divided into the four major sections identified above. This is why protection relays must undergo thorough tests throughout their entire lifecycle – from development and manufacturing to commissioning and regular maintenance.
