Protection Coordination Studies
At ATA Electric® we know the needs of our customers and align our solutions and services to make the most of investments in protective equipment.
Benefits of the correct preparation and implementation of protection studies:
Improve the quality of service
Reduce damage associated with subjecting electrical infrastructure to unnecessary stress.
Eg Conductors, Transformers, Insulators, Switches, among others.
Reduce accidents associated with inadequate actions of the protections.
Improvement of SAIDI / SAIFI indicators
Reduce the cost overruns associated with restoring the system.
Standardize the types of fuses to be used.
Some of the common mistakes we find in the practices of the electricity sector are:
- Make studies of protections to keep in folders / folders that never reach the field
- Configure the protection equipment without information.
- Make a temporary parameterization in the protection equipment that becomes permanent parameterization.
- Disable protection functions because computers act.
- Use only the typical overcurrent functions of IEDs and Reclosers.
- Set the fuse protections with any of the following criteria:
- Based on the momentary load without taking into account levels of short circuit and operating conditions of the system.
- Set general and non-particular fuse values.
- Buy fuses regardless of system planning
- Thinking that it is impossible to control distribution protections.
If one or more of the aspects mentioned above have occurred, due to day-to-day operations, or the importance of other short-term projects, etc .; in ATA Electric®
We have the appropriate technical solutions and methodologies to achieve a policy that maintains and improves the quality of service based on studies and the correct implementation of protections in the field.
