“…These advancements aim to reduce the risk of undetected open-phase faults, which can have severe consequences, including equipment damage due to overheating and vibration, as well as unexpected equipment tripping that can disrupt the operation of power plants [4]. These advancements consider factors like fault impedance and load rates, providing a more nuanced understanding of relay behaviors in different fault scenarios [5][6][7][8][9].…”

This paper explores the phenomenon of open-phase fault of nuclear power plants for preferred power supply, focusing on three distinct scenarios, normal operation, start, and overhaul. For each scenario, the paper discusses the responses of existing relay protection devices, which are crucial for detecting and mitigating open-phase faults. These responses vary depending on the impedance at the fault location and the load rate of the plant. This paper highlights that open-phase faults can lead to three-phase imbalances in the power system, but their impact on voltage levels is not always straightforward due to the transformer and motor compensation effects. Additionally, the paper identifies blind zones in open-phase fault detection, where existing relays may fail to respond effectively, leading the plant to enter a station blackout state. In conclusion, the research underscores the importance of open-phase fault detection and protection in nuclear power plants. It reveals potential vulnerabilities in existing relay configurations and emphasizes the need for enhanced monitoring and safety measures to prevent extended plant operation under open-phase fault conditions.
