Abstract

This paper presents a set of analysis tools for self learning for radial power system protection training (Bouhenna 2010). It automates a radial feeder for an overcurrent protection that would include fault calculations, fuse-fuse co-ordination, current transformer, relay-relay and fuse-relay co-ordination, directional overcurrent protection, ground fault protection, automatic recloser and sectionalizer. The software explains the function of all these protective elements and provides the students with the skills and knowledge necessary to understand and comprehend radial power system protection.

Key words: Set of analysis tools, radial power system protection, fault calculations, co-ordination, protective elements.
