Abstract

This research work will develops an automatic tripping mechanism for the three-phase supply system, following a fault in the transmission line. Whenever there is a fault, this proposed system will sense the fault and restricts the flow of supply to the grid-substations which are compressed of control gears without occurring more damage to them. For handling faults with long and short duration 555 timers are implemented. For the mechanism of tripping activation some switches are utilized to inject fault artificially. In the event of a temporary fault, the circuit will automatically reset after a brief interruption, whereas in the event of a permanent fault, the circuit will remain tripped. This primarily considers four cases: LLLG temporary fault, LLLG permanent fault, LLL temporary fault, and LLL permanent fault. The main benefit of the project is that it saves the appliance, which prevents damage to the load. The system only knows if there is a fault or not, and if the fault is temporary, the supply is restored. If the fault is permanent, a permanent trip signal is sent to the relay, and the supply to the load is restricted.
