Slow Bus Changeover

This document describes a procedure to model slow bus transfer of motors in ETAP. It involves: 1. Modeling a group of motors connected to different buses, with one motor designated as critical. 2. Creating a transient stability study in ETAP to open the circuit breaker connecting the critical motor at 1 second. 3. Setting voltage relays to stagger reconnection of the non-critical motors based on bus voltage levels, to limit inrush currents and torque. 4. Plotting the results of the simulation to analyze bus voltages and motor slip behavior during the slow bus transfer process.

Slow Bus Changeover

Theoretical concepts

As per ANSI C50.41 standard, a slow transfer or reclosing is defined as one in which the
length of time between disconnect of the motor from the power supply and reclosing onto the
same or another power supply is delayed until the motor rotor flux linkages have decayed
sufficiently so that the transient current and torque associated with the bus transfer or
reclosing will remain within acceptable level.
To limit the possibility of damaging the motor or driven equipment, or both, it is
recommended that the system be designed so that the resultant volts per hertz (V/Hz) vector
between the motor residual V/Hz vector and the incoming source V/Hz vector at the instant
of transfer or reclosing does not exceed 1.33 per unit on the motor rated voltage and
frequency bases. It is recommended that power factor correction capacitors shall not be
connected to the motor terminals during the transfer.

Purpose and description


The purpose of this exercise is to study auto restarting of group of motors in stages after a
they are transferred from tripped bus to healthy bus i.e. all the motors (except the critical
motor) on tripped bus are allowed to reaccelerate after transferring to healthy bus.

Procedure
1. Open the fast bus transfer model from the fast bus transfer exercise as shown below.

4. Add an extra bus at motor terminal. Copy the modelled motor 5 times along with the
terminal bus & Circuit breaker and connect them to Bus3 as shown below.

5. Go to Transient Stability Analysis module and create a new study case with name
‘SCOS’
6. Go to Events page and create an event to open CB1 at 1 sec as shown below. Set
Total Simulation Time to 100 seconds.

voltage relay. Add data in Undervoltage (27) Control Interlock for opening CB11
instantaneously at 20% voltage as shown.

vector at the instant of transfer or reclosing does not exceed 1.33 per unit
V/Hz on the motor rated voltage and frequency bases. This note is valid only
for Mtr1 which is a critical motor.
