Q#1 Power System Protection GATE EE 2023 (Set 1) MCQ +1 mark -0.33 marks

For the three-bus power system shown in the figure, the trip signals to the circuit breakers  to  are provided by overcurrent relays  to , respectively, some of which have directional properties also. The necessary condition for the system to be protected for short circuit fault at any part of the system between bus 1 and the  -  loads with isolation of minimum portion of the network using minimum number of directional relays is

 and  are directional overcurrent relays blocking faults towards bus 2.

 and  are directional overcurrent relays blocking faults towards bus 2 and  is directional overcurrent relay blocking faults towards bus 3.

 and  are directional overcurrent relays blocking faults towards Line 1 and Line 2, respectively,  is directional overcurrent relay blocking faults towards  ine 3 and  is directional overcurrent relay blocking faults towards bus 2.

 and  are directional overcurrent relays blocking faults towards Line 1 and Line 2, respectively.

Q#4 Power System Protection GATE EE 2007 (Set 1) MCQ +2 marks -0.66 marks

Consider the protection system shown in the figure below. The circuit breakers, numbered from 1 to 7 are of identical type. A single line 10 ground fault with zero fault impedance occurs at the midpoint of the line (at point F), but circuit breaker 4 fails to operate ("stuck breaker"). If the relays are coordinated correctly, a valid sequence of circuit breaker operations is
