5.5.3 Vector mismatch
This alarm alerts the operator to a vector mismatch during synchronisation.
The alarm is based on the difference between the phase angles on either side of the breaker,
as measured by the controller. The alarm is activated when synchronisation is ON and the
difference in the phase angles is more than the set point.
On the diagram to the right, the vector diagram for the busbar is black, and the mismatch that is
allowed by default is green. The vector diagram for the source is red. L2 is outside the allowed
window.

5.5.4 Breaker opening failure
This alarm alerts the operator to a breaker open failure if a breaker open feedback is present.
The alarm is based on the breaker feedback signal, which is a digital input to the controller. The
alarm timer starts when the controller sends the signal to open the breaker. The alarm is
activated if the breaker feedback does not change from

Open
