Auto-recloser sequence from Trip with two shots (both fail).
In this auto-recloser scheme, the TRIP signal from the directional eath fault protection function (I0dir>
TRIP) was set up as the operation starter for Request 2 (REQ2). REQ2 has two shots (Shots 1 and 2)
enabled with the setting detailed in the image below; the first one is a high-speed shot (0.2 s) that is
then followed by a time-delayed shot (60 s).
Figure. 5.4.4 - 180. Settings for I0dir> with two shots.
When the TRIP signal is used to initiate the auto-recloser sequence, no additional starting or
discrimination times are needed as the protection stage's own operation takes care of the breaker
opening timings directly. Therefore, the auto-recloser function only monitors the status of the directional
earth fault stage's tripping before initiating requests and shots.

1. An earth fault is found in the protected line causing the I0Dir> protection to start
calculating the operating time for a trip.
2. The I0Dir> trips and gives the "Open" command to the breaker's open coil. The auto-
recloser function is initiated and the AR Running
