The lightning strike directly struck the Phase A conductor (shielding failure) and discharged current into it. The paper examines and explains the response of two different line current differential protective relays to this event that was inside their zone of protection. INTRODUCTION On February 19, 2017, powerful storms and tornadoes swept through the state of Texas, damaging homes and properties in. On the following pages, you will find comprehensive information and valuable tips on protecting your electrical system and equipment. Electrical protection refers to the systems and devices designed to detect and isolate electrical faults such as overcurrents, short circuits, ground faults, and lightning strikes to prevent damage, fires, and ensure safety in industrial and commercial power systems.

The National Electrical Code (NEC) section 230-95 requires that ground-fault protection be applied ". This decreases the current at the fault and limits voltage across the arc at the fault to decrease damage. "Equipment grounding" means the connection of earth ground to non current carrying conductive materials such as conduit, cable trays, junction boxes, enclosures and motor frames. Ground-fault relays help protect people from injuries and prevent damage to electrical equipment.

26 mm 2 (10 AWG) ground wire must be used, and in all other markets a 6 mm 2 must be used. Grounding is a mechanism to protect distribution equipment and people under normal operating conditions, abnormal operational (overcurrent and overvoltage) responses, and hazardous conditions such as shocks. Few topics generate as much controversy and argument as that of grounding (or earthing as it is called in some countries) and the associated topics of lightning and surge protection of electrical and electronic systems. During the manufacturing process, metal enclosures typically have fixed points welded to the base plate or side walls. Solidly grounded systems create fatal and costly arc-flash hazards that cause substantial damage at the fault location. When lightning strikes or a rogue voltage surge decides to crash the party, proper grounding steps in like a seasoned bouncer, redirecting danger away from.
