If blocking signal is active when pick-up element activates a BLOCKED signal will be generated and the
function shall not process the situation further. If START function has been activated before blocking
signal it will reset and the release time characteristics are processed as in case of when pick-up signal
is reset.
From blocking of the function a HMI display event as well as time stamped blocking event with
information of the startup current values and fault type is issued.
Blocking signal can be tested also in the commissioning phase of the stage by software switch signal
when relay common and global testing mode is activated.
User settable variables are binary signals from the system. Blocking signal needs to reach the IED
minimum of 5 ms before the set operating delay has passedfor blocking to be active in time.
Operating time characteristics
This function supports de nite time delay (DT). For detailed information on this delay type refer to
chapter General properties of a protection function.
