This can be accomplished by providing earthed metal barrier referred to as fault bus surrounding each conductor throughout its entire length in the bus structure. With this structure, every fault that might happen must involve a connection between a conductor and an earthed. This type of tripping is typically caused by one of three conditions: incorrect breaker operation, over-tripping (cascade tripping), or busbar faults. Busbars form an important link between the incoming and outgoing circuits in generating. One of the most critical requirements is reliable busbar relay protection to assure power system integrity during fault conditions. Busbar protection is critical for the safe and reliable operation of a power system.
