When a signal arrives or ends there is a decision time to be added. This decision time is
highly dependent on the interface between communication and protection used. In many
cases external interface (teleprotection equipment) is used. This equipment makes a
decision and gives a binary signal to the protection device. In case of analog teleprotection
equipment typical decision time is in the range 10 – 30 ms. For digital teleprotection
equipment this time is in the range 2 – 10 ms.
If the teleprotection equipment is integrated in the protection IED the decision time can be
slightly reduced.
Below the principle time sequence of signaling at current reversal is shown.

12.6.3.2 Weak-end infeed
The weak-end infeed can be set by setting the parameter WEI to Off , Echo or Echo &
Trip . Operating zero sequence voltage when parameter WEI is set to Echo & Trip is set
with 3V0PU.
The zero sequence voltage for a fault at the remote line end and appropriate fault resistance
is calculated.
To avoid unwanted trip from the weak-end infeed logic (if spurious signals should occur),
set the operate value of the broken delta voltage level detector (3V
0
) higher than the
