t2 : Time delay of the back-up trip. The choice of this setting is made as short as
possible at the same time as unwanted operation must be avoided. Typical setting is 90
– 200ms (also dependent of re-trip timer).
The minimum time delay for the re-trip can be estimated as:

where:
t
cbopen
is the maximum opening time for the circuit breaker
t
BFP_reset
is the maximum time for breaker failure protection to detect correct breaker function (the
current criteria reset)
t
margin
is a safety margin
It is often required that the total fault clearance time shall be less than a given critical
time. This time is often dependent of the ability to maintain transient stability in case
of a fault close to a power plant.
