Abstract: The two major concerns in today’s electrical distribution system are the potential damage from fault stress and the costs associated with power outages. The optimal way to limit fault stress is to clear the fault in the shortest amount of time. Unfortunately, clearing the fault within the shortest amount of time might sacrifice coordination and lead to broader power outages. Zone Selective Interlocking Coordination assures the possible sustaining of faults for over currents and voltages with different faults. The circuit breaker operation and principle depend upon the open and close operation for the continuity of supply/service. To reduce the stress on the system, generated energy during fault conditions to be considered and its coordination to be checked.
