Motor Bus Transfer Applications Issues and Considerations

Based on the May 2012 Report of the IEEE Power System Relaying Committee Rotating Machinery Protection Subcommittee

and IEEE Std C37.96-2012 Guide for AC Motor Protection, Clause 6.4 Motor bus transfer (MBT)

• Introduction
• Why Transfer Motor Load Sources
• Basic Application Configurations
  • Primary-Backup
  • Main-Tie-Main
  • Multiple-Option Source Selection
• Motor Bus Transfer Classification – Methods & Modes

• Transfer Initiate, Inadvertent External Operation, Lockouts
• Load Shed During Transfer
• Conditions Across Normally Open Startup or Bus Tie Breaker – Before / During Transfer
  • Effects of a Fault
  • Out-of-Step (OOS) Generator Trip
  • System Separation between Incoming Supply Sources
  • Supply Source Transformer Winding Phase Shift
  • Transient Effects upon Disconnect of Motor Loads
  • Motor and Load Characteristic Effects on MBT
• Resultant V/Hz Limits – ANSI Standard C50.41-2012
