1 Primary and Secondary Electrical Distribution Systems Critical Facilities Round Table 12th Quarterly Membership Meeting June 2, 2006 David D. Roybal. P.E. Eaton Electrical Cutler-Hammer Products
2 Utility Considerations Capacity Voltage and Sources Size of Metering Equipment Relaying Requirements Station Batteries
3 Utility Metering Requirements Dictated by the Utility EUSERC (as a reference) 15 kv: 48 W x 72 to 96 D 21 kv: 60 W x 96 D 38 kv: 72 W x 129 D
4 115 kv Substation Service (Approximately 80 by 75 )
5 Types of Systems Radial Primary-Selective Radial Loop-Primary Selective Secondary Selective Sparing Transformer Spot Network
6 Simple Radial System Simple, least costly Easy to coordinate No idle parts
7 Radial System
8 Primary and Secondary Radial
9 Loop Primary Radial Secondary
10 Loop Switching Substation Transformer
11 Loop Switching Pad Mount Transformer
12 Primary Selective Radial System Duplex or selector switch Spare primary incoming circuit Duration of outage from cable failure limited
13 Primary Selective Secondary Radial
14 Duplex Selector Switch
15 Selector Switch Single Structure
16 Secondary Selective System Normally operated as two electrically independent substations with tie breaker open Failure of either primary circuit affects only one bus Service restored by opening dead bus main and closing tie Operation can be made automatic Transformers not paralleled so fault currents similar to radial
17 Two-Source Primary Secondary Selective
18 Sparing Transformer System Alternative to Double-Ended Substations Single Common Backup Transformer Service restored by opening dead bus main and closing tie Operation can be made automatic Transformers not paralleled so fault currents similar to radial Location of substations limited (must be clustered)
19 Sparing Transformer
20 Spot Network Transformers paralleled on the secondary side Uses network protectors If primary voltage fails, associated protector automatically opens Other protector remains closed No dead time on bus, even momentarily Upon voltage restoration automatically synchronizes and re-closes Improved voltage regulation Secondary fault current increased
21 Spot Network
22 Primary Equipment Air Terminal Chamber Metal-Clad Switchgear Circuit Breaker and Relays Metal-Enclosed Switchgear Switch and Fuse Others (Reclosers and Interrupters)
23 Metal-Clad Switchgear Defined in ANSI C as metal enclosed power switchgear Removable (draw-out) type switching and interrupting devices Connect and disconnect position Major parts of the switchgear enclosed by grounded metal barriers for compartmentalization Automatic shutters that cover primary stabs or studs All primary bus conductors and connections covered with insulation material throughout
24 Protective Relays (ANSI Device Numbers) 27 - Undervoltage 47 - Phase sequence 49 - Thermal overload 50 - Instantaneous 51 - Time overcurrent 59 - Overvoltage 63 - Sudden pressure 67 - Directional overcurrent 86 - Lockout 87 - Differential
25 Metal-Enclosed Interrupter Switchgear Defined in ANSI C as metal-enclosed power switchgear Interrupter switches Power fuses (current limiting or non-current limiting) Bare bus and connections Instrument transformers Control wiring and accessory devices
26 Power Fuse Coordination Expulsion Inverse-time Easier to coordinate Current Limiting Steep straight line More difficult to coordinate
27 Pad Mounted Transformer Switching and Fusing LBOR Switch Oil Interruption Rated 200, 300, 400 A Isc = 12 ka Current Limiting and Expulsion Fuses Limited Sizes
28 Transformers
29 Unit Substation Transformers through 20,000 kva Maximum 69 kv Primary Maximum 34.5 kv Secondary Bushings wall mounted Part of a substation lineup Can be custom designed to meet custom dimensions
30 Padmount Transformers Up to 5,000 kva Maximum 34.5 kv Primary Maximum 600 V Secondary Weather resistant high and low voltage compartments Tamper-resistant Design No Fan Cooling Available 6
31 Network Transformers kva Maximum 34.5 kv Primary Maximum 600 V Secondary Used in areas of high load density Designed for use in a secondary network system in either subway or vault applications.
32 Dry Versus Liquid Transformers Dry No fluid to spill or burn Cost is higher than oil Resistant to moisture and chemical contamination Minimum maintenance UL Listing is available Liquid Lowest purchase price Hermetically sealed tank for harsh environments Lowest losses per purchase dollar Best balance of design properties- dielectric, thermal, and cost UL Listing is available
33 Liquid Filled Technology Benefits Lowest Purchase Cost Lowest Loss Per Purchase Dollar Ability to operate in adverse conditions Excellent Dielectric Properties Smaller Footprint Better losses Options available for Safety- Related and Environmentally Sensitive Applications
34 Dry Type Technology Benefits Environmentally Safe Non-flammable Minimal Maintenance Coordination Flexibility Higher Fan Cooled Rating
35 Comparison of Transformer Costs Liquid Filled Transformers Mineral Oil (Outdoor) 1.00 Vegetable Oil (Indoor/Outdoor) 1.20 Silicone (Indoor/Outdoor) 1.35 Pad Mounted 5% Less than Substation Design Dry Type Transformers Vacuum Pressure Impregnated 1.25 Vacuum Pressure Imp. - Epoxy 1.35 Cast Coil 1.55 to 2.0 Lower Temperature Rise 15% to 35% Outdoor Add 20%
36 Loss Evaluation I 2 R Losses = Total Losses (TL) - No Load Losses (NL) I 2 R Losses are proportional to the Load Factor Squared Load Factor = Actual Load kva/rated Base kva Operating Losses = No Load Losses + I 2 R Losses at the appropriate Load Factor
37 Loss Evaluation Example Losses in watts for a 1000 kva oil-filled transformer: 1,800 watts no load losses 15,100 watts full load losses Load losses are approximately 13,300 watts (15,100 1,800) At 0% load: 1,800 watts At 50% load: 1,800 watts + (13,300)(.5) 2 = 1,800 watts + 3,325 watts = 5,125 watts At 100% load: 1,800 watts + 13,300 watts = 15,100 watts At 110% load: 1,800 watts + (13,300)(1.1) 2 = 1,800 watts + 16,093 watts = 17,893 watts
38 Auxiliary Fan Cooling Liquid filled transformers Fan cooling - 15% (750 kva to 2000 kva) Fan cooling - 25% (2500 kva and above) Dry type transformers Fan cooling - 33% (All ratings)
39 Environment Maximum altitude 1000 m (3300 feet) Rating reduced 0.3% to 0.5% for each 100 m (330 feet) above that altitude Indoor and outdoor designs available Ambient 30 degree C (86 degree F) average over 24 hours 40 degree C (104 degree F) maximum
40 Transformers - Liquid Filled Insulation systems (Oil, Silicone, Vegetable Oil) Temperature rise 55 degree C 65 degree C Efficiency - 99% Overload capacity - ANSI C37.92 Auxiliary devices Temperature gauge Liquid level gauge Pressure vacuum gauge Sudden pressure relay Pressure relief device
41 Transformers - Dry type Insulation systems Varnish Polyester Silicone Epoxy Design types Dip and bake VPI Cast coil Insulation classes Class H 220 degree C Class F 185 degree C Class B 150 degree C
42 Transformers - Dry Type Temperature rise 150 degree C 115 degree C 100 degree C (epoxy) 80 degree C Efficiency 97% to 98% (typical) 99% (low temperature rise) Overload capacity - ANSI C57.96 Auxiliary devices Temperature gauge
