forward fault. The time window of allowing the scheme to operate when no
DCUB RX
signal is received when any loss-of-
guard was received is the difference between the
DCUB LOG TRIP WINDOW
and
DCUB LOG PICKUP DELAY
timers. When using
default settings, this value is 150 – 8 = 142 ms. This means the scheme is unblocked and can trip during this time window if
a forward fault is sensed.
8.5.7.4 Keying of the carrier(s) under normal conditions
The keying signals, which allows the relay to key the permissive channel during normal permissive scheme operation by
means of the
DCUB TX1
through
DCUB TX4
signals, are established as follows:
•
The scheme is enabled (
DCUB FUNCTION
is “Enabled” and
DCUB BLOCK
is “Off”), and
•
a fault is seen in the forward zone 2 distance elements or ground directional forward function (if configured), and
•
the reverse zone 4 distance elements or ground directional reverse function (if configured) did not pickup to set the
transient blocking.
If these conditions are met, then the scheme keys the channel(s) by means of asserting transmit signals
DCUB TX1
through
DCUB TX4
with the aid of the local phase selector or zone 2 distance elements.
8.5.7.5 Keying of the carrier during echo conditions
The echo signal, which allows the relay to key the permissive channel(s) through the
DCUB TX1
through
DCUB TX4
transmit
operands during echo conditions when the local breaker opened, keys the carrier(s) during the following conditions:
•
The scheme is enabled (
DCUB FUNCTION
is “Enabled” and
DCUB BLOCK
is “Off”), and
•
the
DCUB PERMISSIVE ECHO
setting is “Enabled”, and
•
the
LINE PICKUP LEO PKP
operand that detects the local breaker to be open picks up for a time set by
LINE END OPEN
PICKUP DELAY
, and
•
any permissive signal
DCUB RX1
through
DCUB RX4
is received and any
LOG1
to
LOG4
is received, and
•
a fault is not seen in the forward zone 2 distance elements or ground directional forward function (if configured) for at
least 100 ms, and
•
the reverse zone 4 distance elements or ground directional reverse function (if configured) did not pickup to set the
transient blocking.
If these conditions are met, then the scheme echoes (transmits the
DCUB TX1
through
DCUB TX4
operands) the received
permissive
DCUB RX
signal(s) back to the remote relay based on the echo table.
The keying or transmit signals
DCUB TX1
through
DCUB TX4
consist of all normal keying or echo keying conditions.
The scheme
DCUB TRIP A
,
DCUB TRIB B
,
DCUB TRIP C
, and
DCUB TRIP 3P
output operands are hard-wired to the trip output
scheme. As such, if the trip output or breaker control operands (if the breaker control function is used) are used for tripping,
the scheme is fully operational. The permissive key carrier signals
DCUB TX1
through
DCUB TX4
must still be assigned to the
tripping/operating logic, and to output contacts as per the usual L90 logic/output assignments.

8.6.1 Distance settings
Traditionally, the reach setting of an underreaching distance function is set based on the net inductive impedance
between the potential source of the relay and the far-end busbar, or location for which the zone must not overreach. Faults
behind series capacitors on the protected and adjacent lines need to be considered for this purpose. For further
illustration, a sample system shown in the figure is considered.
