3. ABSTRACT
• This project provides automatic tripping mechanism for the three phase supply system
for prevention from damage due to faults.
• In case of temporary fault: the output resets automatically after a brief interruption.
• In case of permanent fault: the output remains in tripped condition .
• Faults like LG, LL, LLL and so on can be sensed and automatically disconnects
the supply to avoid large scale damages to the equipment connected.
• Step down transformers bring down the voltage from 230V to 12V.The concept of low
voltage testing of fault conditions is followed.
• A set of switches are used to create faults and 555 timers are used to handle short and
long duration fault condition.

4. INTRODUCTION
REVA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY AND MANAGEMENT,
BANGALORE-560064
Electrical and Electronics Engineering Department
• Various studies have shown that anywhere from 70%, to as high as
90%, of faults on most overhead lines are transient .
• Faults tend to be less transient (near the 80% range) at lower
distribution voltages and more transient (near the90% range) at higher
sub transmission and transmission voltages .
• Causes of transient fault: Lightning, swinging wires, temporary
contacts with foreign objects.
• The remaining 10 - 30% of faults are semi-permanent or permanent in
nature.

5. • Transient faults can be cleared by momentarily de-energizing the line, in order to allow the fault to clear.
Auto-reclosing can then restore service to the line
• Permanent fault will not be cleared by tripping and auto-reclosing.

12. RELAY
• A relay is an electrically operated switch.
• Many relays use an electromagnet to operate a switching mechanism mechanically, but other
operating principles are also used.
• Relays are used where it is necessary to control a circuit by a low-power signal (with complete
electrical isolation between control and controlled circuits), or where several circuits must be
controlled by one signal.

• LCD are electronically modulated optical device shaped into a thin,flat panel made up of any number of colour or
monchrome pixels filled with liquid crystals. These crystals are arrayed in front of light source or reflector.
• Any LCD controller is used to provide a simple interface to an LCD,perhaps eight data inputs and one enable input

17. MICROCONTROLLER
The 89C52 is a single chip microcomputer with I/O port, timer,
clock generator, Data memory, program memory stack, ADC
and serial ports etc.
• 8 bit CPU with registers A and B.
• 16 bit Program Counter and Data Pointer.
• 8 bit Program Status Word.
• 8 bit stack pointer.
• Internal ROM of 8K bytes.
• Internal RAM of 256 bytes, 4 register banks each
containing 8registers.
• Two 16 bit timer / counter.

•Two external and three internal interrupt sources.
Microcontrollers are used in automatically controlled products and devices such as automobile engine control
systems, home security systems, hotel security and monitoring systems, remote controls, office machines,
appliances, power tools, and toys. By reducing the size and cost compared to a design that uses a separate
microprocessor, memory, and input/output devices, microcontrollers make it economical to digitally control even
more devices and processes.

18. GSM ARCHITECTURE
• A GSM network is composed of several functional entities, whose functions and interfaces are specified. Figure
4.16 shows the layout of a generic GSM network. The GSM network can be divided into three broad parts.
• The Mobile Station is carried by the subscriber. The Base Station Subsystem controls the radio link with the
Mobile Station. The Network Subsystem, the main part of which is the Mobile services Switching Center (MSC),
performs the switching of calls between the mobile users, and between mobile and fixed network users. The MSC
also handles the mobility management operations. Not shown is the Operations and Maintenance Center, which
oversees the proper operation and setup of the network.

19. MAX232
• MAX232 is an integrated circuit, dual driver/reciever and typically converts RX,TX,CTS and RTS
signals.
• When a MAX232 IC receives a TTL level to convert, it changes TTL logic 0 to between +3V and
+15V and changes TTL logic 1 to between -3V and -15V and vice versa for converting from
TIA232 to TTL.

20. WORKING AND OPERATING PROCEDURE
WORKING:
The project uses 6numbers step-down transformers for handling the entire circuit under low voltage conditions
of 12v only to test the 3 phase fault analysis. The primary of 3 transformers are connected to a 3 phase
supply in star configuration, while the secondary of the same is also connected in star configuration. The other
set of 3 transformers with its primary connected in star to 3 phase have their secondary„s connected in delta
configuration. The output of all the 6 transformers are rectified and filtered individually and are given to 6 relay
coils. 6 push buttons, one each connected across the relay coil is meant to create a fault condition either at
star i.e. LL Fault or 3L Fault. The NC contacts of all the relays are made parallel while all the common points
are grounded. The parallel connected point of NC are given to pin2 through a resistor R5 to a 555 timer i.e.
wired in monostable mode. The output of the same timer is connected to the reset pin 4 of another 555 timer
wired in astable mode. LED„S are connected at their output to indicate their status. The output of the U3 555
timer from pin3 is given to an Op-amp LM358 through wire 11 and d12 to the non-inverting input pin3, while
the inverting input is kept at a fixed voltage by a potential divider RV2. The voltage at pin2 coming from the
potential divider is so held that it is higher than the pin3 of the Op-amp used as a comparator so that pin1
develops zero logic that fails to operate the relay through the driver transistor Q1. This relay Q1 is 3CO„ relay
i.e. is meant for disconnecting the load to indicate fault conditions.

21. OPERATING PROCEDURE:
While the board is powered from a 3phase supply all the 6 relay coils get DC voltage and their common point
disconnects from the NC and moves on to the NO points there by providing logic high at pin2 of 555 timer U1 i.e.
that is kept on monostable mode. While any push button across the relay is pressed it disconnects that relay and
in the process in common contacts moves to the NC position to provide a logic low at trigger pin of 555 timer to
develop an output that brings the U3 555 timer which is used in astable mode for its reset pin to high such that the
astable operation takes place at its output which is also indicated by flashing D11 LED. If the fault is off temporary
in nature i.e. if the push button pressed is released immediately the U1 monostable disables U3 the output of
which goes to zero in the event of any push button kept pressed for a longer duration the monostable output
provides a longer duration active situation for U3 the astable timer the output of which charges capacitor C13
through R11 such that the output of the comparator goes high that drives the relay to switch off three phase load.
The output of Op-amp remains high indefinitely through a positive feedback provided for its pin1 to pin3 through a
forward biased diode and a resistor in series. This results in the relay permanently switched on to disconnect the
load connected at its NC contacts permanently off. In order to maintain the flow of DC supply the star connected
secondary set DC„S are paralleled through D8,D9 & D10 for uninterrupted supply to the circuit voltage of 12v DC
and 5v DC derived out of voltage regulator IC 7805.

22. RESULT
• When push button across RG supply was pressed and released immediately , the bulbs turned off
and turned on automatically after 1.1sec (t=1.1R7.C9) . The message “RG temporary fault” was
displayed on the LCD and same message was sent via GSM to the given mobile number. Similar
results were obtained for YG/BG/RY/BY/RB temporary faults.
•When push button across RG supply was pressed for around 10 sec, the bulbs turned off but the
bulbs didn t turn on even after the push button was released. The message “RG permanent fault”‟
was displayed on the LCD and same message was sent via GSM to the given mobile number.
Similar results were obtained for YG/BG/RY/BY/RB permanent faults.

Substation
Transmission lines
Industries
Apartments

25. Various faults have been created to develop an automatic tripping mechanism for the three phase supply
system while temporary fault and permanent faults occur. Here timer 555 has been used with relay for the fault
analysis. Short duration fault returns the supply to the load immediately called as temporary trip while long
duration shall result in permanent trip. Also we adjust the time duration for permanent fault by adjusting
capacitors charging periods. Whenever any type of fault: LG temporary/permanent or LL temporary / permanent
occurs message regarding faults is displayed on LCD and also message is sent to the concerned person via
GSM modem.
