User Manual SmartBypass The SmartBypass builds upon the proven success of the bypass systems used in the PowerLine Guardian and Power Guardian 390 products. The SmartBypass provides rapid protection during fault conditions for SmartValve Models that do not have integrated bypass capability. Under normal operation, it enables operators to manually bypass a SmartValve, or it can switch it in series with the transmission line. When in series with the line, a SmartValve can inject its controllable reactance for power flow control. The SmartBypass can operate at line currents of thousands of amps during normal bypass operation and withstand different fault current levels depending on the model. The SmartBypass models are differentiated by continuous current rating and maximum fault current rating. For example, the SmartBypass 4000-63 is rated for continuous line currents up to 4000 A RMS and fault currents of up to 63 kA RMS for 1 second. The SmartBypass provides telemetry for itself and associated SmartValves when operating in monitoring mode or injection mode(1). The SmartBypass operates in conjunction with a separate enclosure of filter components called the Bypass Filter. Deployment of the SmartBypass requires the Bypass Filter, hence the specifications for it are also included below. The Bypass Filter contains filter components that bypass transmission line traveling waves so they do not enter the main SmartBypass enclosure. Thus the Bypass Filter provides immunity to typical transmission line transients such as line switching and lightning surges that generate voltage and current traveling waves that propagate from one end of the line to the other. The same Bypass Filter is used for all SmartBypass Model variants as shown in the specification table below. The Bypass Filter connects to the top two NEMA pads on the SmartBypass. The physical details of the connection methods will depend on the deployment type.

Unless noted otherwise, all specs apply to both SmartBypass and the Bypass Filter 3. 4. 5. 6. In Monitoring Mode, the SmartBypass bypasses the SmartValve across its terminals so no reactance is injected. In Injection Mode, the SmartBypass allows the SmartValve to inject its reactance across its terminals in series with the line. Devices delivered in Q4 of 2020 or later will be able to enter injection mode at 100 A RMS. SmartValves, SmartBypasses and Bypass Filters are deployed with a variety of methods. They can be deployed in multiple unit pods, which are then mounted on top of insulators in banks or deployed as part of the Mobile SmartValve Unit. They also can be mounted as one pair per phase on dedicated transmission towers. Applies to SmartBypass only. The Bypass Filter meets all specs for SmartBypass Model 4000-63 other than the mass. 7. 8. The SmartBypass 2000-XX Models can operate continuously at 2200 A RMS at 5C. 9. 10. Fault current ratings for other durations can be provided upon request. 11. Per IEC 62271-1 and IEEE C37.32, a DC time constant of 45 ms covers the majority of cases and corresponds to a rated peak withstand current equal to 2.5 times the rated short-time withstand current for a rated frequency of 50 Hz and for a rated frequency of 60 Hz it is equal to 2.6 times the rated short-time withstand current.
