Article Overview

A Relay Protection Secondary Measures Ticket is a formal document used to guide, verify, and ensure safe execution of maintenance and testing procedures on relay protection systems in substations.

Purpose and Importance

Secondary measures tickets are critical for ensuring the safety and reliability of relay protection devices, which act as the last line of defense in power systems by detecting faults and isolating affected sections to prevent widespread outages . They help standardize maintenance procedures, minimize human error, and ensure that all safety steps are properly executed and verified .

Typical Content

A secondary measures ticket usually includes:

  • Original state recording: Documenting the status of platens, air switches, changeover switches, and current terminals before work begins .
  • Isolation steps: Opening outlets, jumper plates, and disconnecting AC/DC circuits to prevent accidental operation .
  • Interlocks and signal circuits: Ensuring adjacent equipment is safely isolated and interlocked .
  • Execution and verification: Steps are executed according to a preset sequence, and the system or personnel verify that each step meets expected conditions .
  • Recovery procedures: Instructions for restoring circuits and equipment to normal operation after maintenance .

Execution Procedure

  1. Preparation: The work permit is issued, and the live parts and safety measures are reviewed .
  2. Customization: The person in charge modifies the ticket based on actual site conditions, specifying terminal numbers and equipment details .
  3. Audit and Approval: A monitor or technician reviews the ticket to ensure completeness and correctness .
  4. Implementation: The safety measures are executed step by step, with automatic or manual verification to confirm correct execution .
  5. Confirmation: A third-party inspection may be conducted, and signatures are recorded to confirm proper execution and restoration .

Modern Automation

In intelligent substations, secondary measures tickets can be automatically generated and verified using handheld terminals and software systems. The system checks whether each step is executed correctly by comparing the current states of soft pressing plates and other indicators against expected results, reducing human error and improving efficiency .

Applications

Secondary measures tickets are applied across various voltage levels (e.g., 10kV to 500kV) and for different types of relay protection work, including:

  • Full or partial protection device inspections
  • Device replacement
  • Load measurement and high-frequency channel tests
  • Busbar, transformer, and line protection checks By following these tickets, substations can maintain high operational safety, accurate fault detection, and reliable relay performance.
