Vancouver, British Columbia Pullman, Washington ‘Canada USA. KEYworps overcurrent elements need only be coordinated with downstream Negative-sequence overcurrent elements, Distribution protection, Protective device coordination, Open phase conductor ABSTRACT "Negative sequence overcurrent elements donot respond to balanced, load and can thus be set to operate faster and more sensitively thin phase overcurrent elements for phase--phase faults. This paper ‘demonstrates that on a radial distribution system, negative-aequence overcurrent elements need only be coordinated with downstream ‘hase overcurrent devices for phase-t-phase faults. Coordination for other fault types is then achieved with no funher analysis, required. The effects of negative-aequence load current and open [phase conductors on negative-sequence overcurrent elements are Also discussed. INTRODUCTION Because negative-sequence overcurrent elements do not respondto balanced load, they can be set 10 oper later and. more sensively than phase overcurrent elements for phaso1o-phase fauls on distribution systems. Like ground overcurrent element, negaivesequence overcurrent elements can be sc below lod levels. On the ther hand, phase overcurent elements must best above maximum load levels [Negative-sequence overcurrent elements wit standardinverse-ype characteristics are now available in microprocessor-based istribution protective relays as part ofthe complement of elements tnd functions provided [Reference 1]. These elements, provided at Virtually no additional cost, can improve phase-o-phase fault ‘protection with minimal coordination effor.
