Changes of Recloser's TC Curve for the Improvement of Distribution Line Protection Coordination

배전선로 보호협조 개선을 위한 리클로져 TC커브 변경

The TC curve of recloser which used in KEPCO's distribution line is a little different in a pattern with the TC curve of sub-station OCR. So it sometimes fails in protection coordination. And the recloser sometimes does mis-open/close owing to the inrush current of CB reclosing when a fault occurred on the source-side of the recloser. The mis-open/close is another trouble maker. This Paper Present a new delay TC curve of recloser which has the same pattern with the TC curve of OCR, and a new instantaneous TC curve of recloser which doesn't mal-function to the inrush current. In addition, this paper present another two TC curves for the serial positioning of 2 reclosers. So we accomplished the simple protection coordination of OCR-recloser-fuse.
