1.0 Introduction
PURPOSE :
Proposed 47.5 MW SOLAR PHOTOVOLTAIC PROJECT AT LSMFEZ, ZAMBIA. The objectives of
protection and coordination is protect the electrical equipment during any fault on the system, prevent damage
of the equipment & human and with proper co-ordination, isolate the faulty equipment & kept healthy
equipment in service.

Bus networks are fed from individual Solar PV plant Blocks to RMU & RMU is connected to main HT panel
(33kV). The 33kV, 500sqmm cable from main HT panel to substation is connected. The protection to each
circuit has been selected based on Electrical design basis, one line diagrams and Electrical load analysis.
The selectivity of overcurrent protection is based on time grading of the relay operating characteristics. The
relay closer to the power generation source (upstream relay) is time delayed against the relay further away
from the source (downstream relay). When plotting coordinating curves, certain time intervals (i.e.
Coordination Time Interval - CTI) shall be maintained between the curves of various protective devices to
ensure correct selective operation and to reduce nuisance tripping. When coordinating inverse time
overcurrent relays, generally a minimum coordination time interval of 0.25 sec is used to achieve selectivity.

CTI = t' = 0.08 [The MCCB is having built-in release. Thus 0.08sec is a conservative value in case of MCCB]
The ACB instanteneous setting is kept disabled to avoid mis-coordination with down-stream MCCB.
As the 480N system is an Ungrounded system, Earth Fault Settings of ACB shall be kept DISABLED.
