1. Where do we apply interlocking?

2. What equipment are associated in an interlocking scheme?

3. What impact would there be if an interlocking fail?

BASIC DEFINITION

Interlocking as defined in Oxford dict.:• Engage with each other by overlapping• Connect so that they could not operate

independently or unsafely• Mechanism to interlock switches

Institut Latihan Sultan Ahmad Shah(ILSAS)

Unit Perlindungan, Seksyen Latihan Penghantaran - 2006

POLICY (from PCOP)Interlocking:

• All switching devices within a substation shall be interlocked in a manner that ensures they always operate safely

Institut Latihan Sultan Ahmad Shah(ILSAS)

Unit Perlindungan, Seksyen Latihan Penghantaran - 2006

POLICY (from PCOP)Interlocking:

• The interlocking scheme shall be provided to ensure correct sequence of operation of the switching devices

Institut Latihan Sultan Ahmad Shah(ILSAS)

Unit Perlindungan, Seksyen Latihan Penghantaran - 2006

POLICY (from PCOP)Interlocking scheme requirement:

• Interlocking scheme shall cater fo both operational interlocks as well as maintenance interlock

Institut Latihan Sultan Ahmad Shah(ILSAS)

Unit Perlindungan, Seksyen Latihan Penghantaran - 2006

POLICY (from PCOP)Interlocking scheme requirement:

• All switchgears except circuit breakers shall be prevented to operate on load

Institut Latihan Sultan Ahmad Shah(ILSAS)

Unit Perlindungan, Seksyen Latihan Penghantaran - 2006

POLICY (from PCOP)Interlocking scheme requirement:

• Closing or opening of any earthing switch shall be prevented unless the point of application is disconnected from all possible sources of supply

TYPES OF INTERLOCKING

1. Operational Interlock

- mechanical and electrical interlockingassociated with normal systemoperation and switching, and intended toensure that a pre-determined switchingsequence is satisfied

Unit Perlindungan, Seksyen Latihan Penghantaran - 2006

TYPES OF INTERLOCKING

2. Maintenance Interlock

- mechanical and electrical interlockingassociated with a series of switchingoperations to render equipment orsections of the station safe for accessand maintenance by personnel

INTERLOCKMechanically will prevent:• Racking in/out VCB when the VCB is in

CLOSED position• Closing when the VCB is not aligned

properly• Closing VCB if feeder is earthed

Unit Perlindungan, Seksyen Latihan Penghantaran - 2006

INTERLOCKMechanically will prevent:• Closing of CB if spring is uncharged• Closing line isolator if earth switch is in

ON position• Closing of VCB if not in service position• etc

Institut Latihan Sultan Ahmad Shah(ILSAS)

Unit Perlindungan, Seksyen Latihan Penghantaran - 2006

INTERLOCKElectrically will prevent:• Closing when Master Trip relay is not

reset• Closing when CB spring is not fully

charged• Continuous reclosing due to faulty

closing circuit

INTERLOCK

Electrically will prevent:• Opening of isolator if CB still closed• Closing of earth switch if there is

voltage on the line• etc

INTERLOCK

• Interlock scheme design shouldconsider the status of the relevantdevices

LOGIC GATE

• AND gate• OR gate• NOT gate

Institut Latihan Sultan Ahmad Shah(ILSAS)

Unit Perlindungan, Seksyen Latihan Penghantaran - 2006

LOGIC SCHEME• Using the AND,OR and NOT gate, draw a

conceptual diagram for closing of a feeder CB- example check with:* one of Bus isolator closed* line isolator closed* Master Trip reset* synchronizing checked

• Then draw a schematic presentation of the above

STANDARD APPLICATIONS

• Normally checked during commissioning• Failure due to:

- faulty contacts- wrong termination- loose connection

• Some alarms are useful in detecting interlocking failures e.g.- NER open alarm- LV VT open- Trip circuit supervision etc.

SUMMARY• All switching devices within a substation shall be

interlocked to ensures safe operation.

• The interlocking scheme shall be provided toensure correct sequence of operation of theswitching devices.

• Interlocking scheme shall cater for operationalinterlocks and maintenance interlock.
