The uniqueness of the electrical environment (asynchronous connection to power system, variable frequency operation, and harmonics) on the output of adjustable-speed drives (ASDs) requires special consideration to be given to the motor protection. The Working Group has investigated and addressed these concerns. This paper announces the report on the findings of this activity and the recommendation...Show More

Disturbance is an inherent part of any power system during the transition from one steady-state operating condition to the next. Protective relays may experience abnormal operating conditions during this transient period. This paper reviews various control actions that play a part during the transition and provides technical guidance to the industry on the application and setting of generator prot...Show More
This paper is based on a report of the same title, prepared by Working Group K3 of the Substation Protection Subcommittee of the Power System Relaying Committee of the Power Engineering Society of the IEEE. The paper begins with background information on the causes, measurement techniques, and consequences of overheating in mineral-oil-immersed power transformers. Then techniques for adaptive tran...Show More
Large steel mills can be potentially harsh loads on an electric power system, producing harmonic currents and unbalanced system loading. Since these large loads are typically supplied from the EHV power system grid, it must be recognized that not only will the system of the host utility be impacted, but neighboring utility systems could be impacted as well. Existing IEEE Standard 519-1992, IEEE Re...Show More
The practice of tripping the generator breakers immediately following a boiler/turbine trip exposes a steam turbine generator to a potentially damaging overspeed operating condition. This paper describes the use of the sequential trip mode as a means of minimizing the exposure to possible unit damage following a boiler/turbine trip. Included is a comparison of the application of devices used by se...Show More

This paper briefly describes the special publication, "Fault and Disturbance Data Requirements for Automated Computer Analysis", prepared by working group III of the Relaying Practices and Consumer Interface Protection Subcommittee of the IEEE Power System Relaying Committee. The publication describes the analysis objectives and the data necessary to facilitate automated analysis.Show More
This report presents the results of an extensive survey of electric utility practices for synchronizing a generator to the power system. The survey was constructed to collect data defining the present electric utility practice of synchronizing, the types of schemes used, why they were selected, and how they have performed. The survey also collected data detailing the number of machines equipped wi...Show More
The Motor Bus Transfer Working Group of the IEEE Power System Relaying Committee has performed a survey on industry practices for implementing automatic motor bus transfers in various power plant applications and the application of supervisory and control relays for these transfer schemes. This report summarizes automatic transfer methods for primary auxiliary buses that supply major rotating mach...Show More
