Product Introduction Technical Parameter Size

FO Line Differential Relay Introduction

          This FO Line Diff Relay is suitable for non-effectively grounded or low-resistance grounded systems with voltage levels up to 132kV. It provides primary protection (optical fiber pilot differential) and backup protection (overcurrent, zero-sequence, etc.) for transmission lines and feeders, while integrating measurement and control functions.

          The FO Line Diff Relay supports decentralized installation in switchgear cabinets or centralized panel mounting. It uses dedicated optical fiber or multiplexed channels as pilot communication media and is equipped with a 2048kbps E1 interface. Suitable for substations, distribution networks, and similar applications, it ensures selective protection while meeting remote monitoring requirements.

FO Line Differential Relay Protection Working Principle

1.The GWZC-9913 FO Line Diff Relay incorporates three key components:
          ①.power frequency variation current differential element,
          ②.phase current differential element,
          ③.zero-sequence current differential element.
          All three elements can implement phase-segregated differential logic.

2.Fiber Optic Channel
          Dedicated fiber optic channels shall be prioritized when the fiber core quantity and transmission distance permit. When power requirements cannot be met, multiplexed fiber optic channels may be adopted.

2048kbit/s dedicated fiber optic channel


2048kbit/s multiplexed fiber optic channel

What is Parallel Operation
​Parallel operation​ involves connecting two or more independent AC power sources (e.g., generators, grids) to share electrical loads seamlessly. This process—synchronization—demands precise matching of voltage magnitude, frequency, and phase angles between systems before interconnection. Critical for grid expansion, backup power, and renewable integration, it enables redundant supply during failures.

Ring-Closing Operation: Definition & Importance in Power Grids
A ring-closing operation involves closing a normally open switch within a closed-loop electrical network fed by a single power source. This creates parallel paths to redistribute loads without interruption, primarily for maintenance or network reconfiguration. Key prerequisites are voltage difference under 5%, phase angle alignment below 5 degrees, and pre-calculation of induced circulating currents to avoid equipment damage. Distinct from connecting independent systems, this procedure requires advanced monitoring but avoids synchronization complexity. Strict protocols using real-time sensors and simulations ensure safe execution, making it fundamental for resilient distribution networks like ring-main units (RMUs) in urban grids.
