Dans le monde de l'ingénierie électrique, en particulier dans le domaine des systèmes électriques, le terme "Livre Marron" occupe une place importante. Ce n'est pas un livre physique en soi, mais plutôt un surnom pour un ensemble de normes techniques et de directives communément appelées les **Livres de Couleurs IEEE**. Ces documents fournissent des informations complètes sur un large éventail de sujets liés aux systèmes électriques, offrant des conseils aux ingénieurs et aux professionnels impliqués dans la conception, l'exploitation et la maintenance des systèmes d'alimentation électrique.
Le Livre Marron fait spécifiquement référence à **IEEE Std 242**, souvent appelée la "**Pratique Recommandée IEEE pour la Protection et la Coordination des Systèmes Électriques Industriels et Commerciaux**". Ce document, publié en 1986 et mis à jour à plusieurs reprises depuis, se concentre sur la **protection des systèmes électriques**. Il couvre divers aspects, notamment :
Au-delà du Livre Marron, les Livres de Couleurs IEEE englobent un éventail plus large de normes couvrant divers domaines dans les systèmes électriques, tels que:
Ces publications codées par couleur constituent une ressource vitale pour les ingénieurs électriciens et les professionnels, fournissant un cadre complet pour la conception, l'exploitation et la maintenance de systèmes d'alimentation électrique sûrs et fiables. Le Livre Marron, en particulier, se distingue comme un guide essentiel pour comprendre et appliquer les principes de protection, assurant l'intégrité et la résilience des systèmes électriques face aux différents défis.
Instructions: Choose the best answer for each question.
1. What is the full name of the "Brown Book"?
a) IEEE Std 141 - Recommended Practice for Electric Power Distribution for Industrial Plants.
Incorrect. This is the Blue Book.
Incorrect. This is the Red Book.
Correct! This is the full name of the Brown Book.
Incorrect. This is the Yellow Book.
2. Which of the following is NOT a topic covered in the Brown Book?
a) Protective Relaying
Incorrect. This is a key topic in the Brown Book.
Incorrect. This is another major focus of the Brown Book.
Correct! While the Brown Book deals with fault protection, it doesn't delve into detailed fault analysis.
Incorrect. This is a key aspect of the Brown Book.
3. The Brown Book provides guidance for selecting relay settings. What is the primary reason for this?
a) To ensure all relays trip simultaneously in case of a fault.
Incorrect. While simultaneous tripping can be desirable in some cases, it's not the primary reason for relay setting coordination.
Correct! Proper relay settings ensure that only the necessary equipment is isolated, minimizing damage and service interruption.
Incorrect. Different relay settings are necessary to achieve coordinated tripping across the system.
Incorrect. While relay coverage is important, the primary focus is on achieving coordinated protection.
4. Which of the following IEEE Color Books focuses on grounding of power systems?
a) Blue Book
Incorrect. This book focuses on power distribution for industrial plants.
Correct! The Red Book is specifically about grounding of industrial and commercial power systems.
Incorrect. This book deals with harmonic control in power systems.
Incorrect. This book focuses on the design of reliable industrial and commercial power systems.
5. What is the primary purpose of the IEEE Color Books?
a) To provide a comprehensive guide for designing electrical power systems.
Correct! The Color Books offer a broad framework for various aspects of power systems design, operation, and maintenance.
Incorrect. While safety is a key concern, the Color Books mainly provide guidance and best practices.
Incorrect. The Color Books are primarily focused on system-level design and operation, not component specifications.
Incorrect. While the Brown Book includes fault protection, it doesn't delve into detailed diagnosis and repair procedures.
Scenario:
A 10 MVA transformer is protected by an overcurrent relay (OC Relay) with a setting of 500A and a time delay of 0.5 seconds. The downstream feeder is protected by a fuse with a melting time-current characteristic shown in the following table:
| Current (A) | Melting Time (s) | |---|---| | 1000 | 10 | | 1500 | 2 | | 2000 | 0.8 | | 2500 | 0.4 |
Task:
Determine if the OC Relay and the fuse are properly coordinated. Explain your reasoning.
The relay and the fuse are **not properly coordinated**. Here's why:
1. **Fault Current:** Consider a fault current of 1500A on the feeder. The fuse will melt in 2 seconds. However, the OC relay will only trip after 0.5 seconds (its time delay) plus the time it takes to reach its pick-up current (500A). This time delay is likely significantly less than 2 seconds.
2. **Coordination Failure:** In this scenario, the relay would trip before the fuse blows, meaning the relay is not protecting the transformer from the fault. The fault current will flow through the transformer, potentially causing damage.
To achieve proper coordination, the relay time delay needs to be adjusted to ensure the fuse blows first, clearing the fault before the relay trips. This would typically involve increasing the relay's time delay or reducing the fuse's melting time.
