Vol.II Part-8/Section-II

Protection scheme for 400 KV & 220 KV TRANSFER BUS

COUPLER shall be identical to the LINE protection scheme specified
above at 8.2.1 as such all standard features required for the scheme
shall be provided. The mimic shall represent scheme for transfer bus
instead of line. It may also may please note that Distance protection
provided in the Transformer bus coupler feeder may have five groups
of setting for different feeders and there should be arrangement for
group selection by providing five bay switch through digital inputs.
