accordance with international standards
7.10.3.1 Restrike detection
GUID-114747A5-0F7C-4F48-A32D-0C13BFF6ADCE v1
Opening of SCBs can be quite problematic for certain types of circuit breakers (CBs). Typically
such problems are manifested as CB restrikes.
In simple words this means that the CB is not breaking the current at the first zero crossing
after separation of the CB contacts. Instead current is re-ignited and only braked at
consecutive current zero crossings. This condition is manifested as high current pulses at the
moment of current re-ignition.
To detect this CB condition, the built in overcurrent feature can be used. Simply, any start of
the overcurrent feature during breaker normal opening means a restrike. Therefore simple
logic can be created in the Application Configuration tool to detect such CB behavior. Such CB
condition can be just alarmed, and if required, the built in disturbance recorder can also be
triggered.
To create this logic, a binary signal that the CB is going to be opened (but not trip command)
shall be made available to the IED.
