2.4
– Interlocking logic
Different relays can be each-other interlocked thus allowing to implement accelerated selectivity
scheems with all time delay set at the same level.
2.4.1
– Instantaneous outputs and lock-out logic
Generally one instantaneous and one time delayed elements are provided for each Protection
Function. Programming of the configuration of the output relays allows to have any of them
controlled either by the time delayed element or by the instantaneous element of one or more
Protection Functions. The output relays controlled by instantaneous elements pick-up as soon as the
current exceeds the set trip level and drop-off as soon as the current drops below the reset level.
If the relay was energized by the instantaneous element and after tripping of the time delayed
element of the same function (even if this is programmed to control a different output relay) the
current does not drop below the set level (Circuit Breaker did not open) the output relay is any-how
deenergized after an additional time delay “tBF”. If this relay was used to block the operation of
another Protection Relay, this will be released and will then trip a back-up C/B.
2.4.2
– Function Blocking Inputs
When the terminals 1-2 of the digital input B2 are shorted, it is possible to block the operation of the
time delayed element of the function according to the programming of the corresponding parameter:
B2
1I
= ON/OFF (If set to ON, the activation of the input B2 blocks the time
delayed
element of the function)
B2
2I
= ON/OFF
B2
3I
= ON/OFF
B2
1O
= ON/OFF
B2
2O
= ON/OFF
B2
3O
= ON/OFF
2.5
– Breaker Failure Protection
The Breaker Failure function is related to the functions programmed to operate the output relay R1.
If, after R1 has been e
nergized, the input current does not drop to zero within the set time “tBF”,
another output relay is energized for giving an alarm of tripping a back-up C/B.
