Protection Coordination Analysis Study Considering The Arcflash In The Electrical System Of PLTU Paiton Unit III Using IEEE Standard 1584-2002

Arch flash is a disorder that often occurs in the electrical system of an industry or factory. In this research focusing on the analysis of the protection system by considering arc flash, it will be discussed in detail at the existing factory in East Java, namely PLTU Paiton unit 3 which is developing a unit with a capacity of 1x815 MW. The electrical system at PLTU Paiton unit 3 discusses only high and medium voltage systems. In order to support the continuity of the plant, to connect the Java-Bali electricity system, it is necessary to have a good protection coordination system to avoid black out due to one of the impacts caused by the arc of fire. After coordination of protection in the Paiton PLTU unit 3 system, arc analysis will be simulated with IEEE 1584-2002 standard calculations to find the magnitude of energy incidents and determine the safety limits of workers and also personal protective equipment according to NFPA 70E standards. The results of the study after resetting the protection coordination of PLTU Paiton unit 3 using differential rele on the SWGR-3A bus incident value of arc energy and Flash Protection Boundary (FPB) value decreased which originally reached a level outside level 4 (40cal / cm2) to level 3 (8.1-25cal / cm2), on the SWGR-3B bus the incidence energy value was at level 3 (8.1-25cal / / cm2) dropped to level 2 (4.1-8cal / cm2), for coal hand sys bus SWGR A the energy incident value from level 3 (8.1-25cal//cm2) drops to level 0 (0 -1.2cal/cm2), while for the coal hand sys SWGR B bus the energy incident value when existing conditions reach level 3 (8.1-25cal//cm2) drops to level 0 (0-1.2cal/cm2). After obtaining the energy level of the bus, then personal protective equipment can be determined.
