BUSBAR PROTECTION
Consequently, the busbar differential protection can detect a fault when current transformers are ranged on the busbar side or in the case of a busbar coupler with 1 or 2 current transformers.
Causes of short circuit on low-voltage side busbar
Home / Causes of short circuit on low-voltage side busbar
This is caused by the great magnitude of short-circuit current, which is multiple times higher than nominal current, passing through busbar conductors, and producing a magnetic force sufficiently large to weaken or even rupture busbar supports. Because of this convergence, short circuits located on or near the busbar tend to have very high magnitude currents. The high magnitude fault currents require high-speed operation of the busbar protection to limit equipment damage. Voltage drop is well known to electrical engineers and is defined by Ohm's Law and the simplest of equations: V = I × R. by the ingress of foreign bodies into air gaps, and the risk of consequent damage is high due to their high normal operating.
