Abstract

The distribution system has an important role in the electric power system. This system is directly related to consumers so that continuity must be maintained. More and more customers are connected to the protection system will increase the risk of interference. Disturbances that often arise in the electric power system are short circuit. This fault can further cause arc flash, which endangers workers and equipment. Protection equipment added to the distribution system is a circuit breaker (CB) and relay. Both of this equipment have been widely used in electric power systems. To improve the performance of the relay settings, the Zone Selective Interlocking (ZSI) method is applied to the overcurrent relay (OCR) and ground fault relay (GFR) time settings. ZSI will determine priority areas that should not experience blackouts such as important equipment such as generators or big loads and minimize trips by eliminating sources of interference as soon as possible. The time setting of the ZSI method will be used as a parameter when calculating arc flash energy. The results of this energy calculation are used as a reference to determine personal protective equipment (PPE) that must be used when working in electrical areas. The combination of these two analyzes protects the system from disruption while securing the workers in it.
