AI Thread Summary
A remote substation is typically defined as a facility that is not directly adjacent to the fault location but is part of the interconnected power system. In fault analysis, the local substation is where the protective device is located, while the remote substation may provide data through telemetry. The identification of local versus remote substations can depend on the specific fault location and its impact on the system. Understanding the positive and zero sequence impedances is crucial for determining relay settings. Accurate fault analysis helps ensure effective protection and reliability in power systems.

what exactly is a remote substation?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

hi there

i am doing a fault analysis on a power system that consists of two substations interconnected by a line.

The purpose of this project is to determine the positive and zero sequence impedances of the line and the source for different types of faults. I am doing this so i can determine the correct settings for the relays by use of a specific software.

The fault is applied on the line interconnecting these substations. How do i identify the local and remote substations? Does it depend on the fault location?

please assist..

thanks

Local usually refers to the place where the protective device is. It may gather data from remote places by telemetry.
 

Thread 'Following up on the recent thread about Earth Resistance measurements'

I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...

Thread 'Electromagnet magnetic field issue'

Hi Guys We are a bunch a mechanical engineers trying to build a simple electromagnet. Our design is based on a very similar magnet. However, our version is about 10 times less magnetic and we are wondering why. Our coil has exactly same length, same number of layers and turns. What is possibly wrong? PIN and bracket are made of iron and are in electrical contact, exactly like the reference design. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. edit: even same wire diameter and coil was wounded by a...

Thread 'Beauty of old electrical and measuring things, etc.'

Even as a kid, I saw beauty in old devices. That made me want to understand how they worked. I had lots of old things that I keep and now reviving. Old things need to work to see the beauty. Here's what I've done so far. Two views of the gadgets shelves and my small work space: Here's a close up look at the meters, gauges and other measuring things: This is what I think of as surface-mount electrical components and wiring. The components are very old and shows how...
