What is Corona Effect? A Complete Theory and Explanation

The corona effect is a natural electrical phenomenon. It occurs on EHV and UHV transmission lines. It may also occur inside substations on the live parts of high-voltage equipment. Cause of the Corona Effect The voltage level of transmission lines and live equipment is very high in EHV systems. Therefore, the electric field intensity surrounding … Read more

Line Differential Protection

Before entering the topic of line differential protection, or simply differential protection of a transmission line, we shall first recall our concept of differential protection. Actually, the differential protection used for a transmission line is called line differential protection. We have already heard about the differential protection of transformers, busbars, etc. The same principle is … Read more

Working Principle of Digital Teleprotection Coupler

A Digital Teleprotection Coupler (DTPC) is often referred as a Digital Protection Coupler (DPC). It serves as a high-speed, reliable interface for transmitting protection commands between substations over a communication medium (OPGW). Typically it is used for carrier protection of transmission lines. Working Principle First, a protective relay such as a digital distance relay or … Read more
