1.8 PROTECTION SCHEMES
1
In a typical application with ON-OFF carrier sets, only one receiver is used at each terminal of the line, regardless of the
number of line terminals. The contact converter (RCVR 1 in the logic diagram) converts the receiver output into a blocking
signal usable by the ALPS. Some blocking schemes use frequency-shift tone channels, such as the GE type NS40A. For a
three-terminal application employing FSK tones, each terminal has two receivers and an additional contact converter must
be assigned. In the default settings, CC2 is used.
Figure 1–15: BLOCKING SCHEME LOGIC DIAGRAM
External contacts may be used to supervise the relay-channel interface. The EXTERNAL STOP CARRIER signal is
assigned to CC3 in the default settings. EXTERNAL STOP CARRIER turns the local transmitter OFF. This feature is typi-
cally used when the remote breaker must trip to clear a fault following a breaker failure. An external contact closure, indicat-
ing a breaker failure, produces an output from CC3 that turns the transmitter OFF, permitting the remote end to trip.
