setting 79CLS, and then propagated on to the close logic in Figure 6.1 to
automatically reclose a circuit breaker. The explanation that follows in this
reclosing relay subsection describes all the reclosing relay settings and logic
that eventually result in this open interval time-out logic input into
Figure 6.2 .
Other aspects of the reclosing relay are also explained. Up to four (4)
automatic reclosures (shots) are available.
The reclose enable setting, E79, has setting choices N, 1, 2, 3, 4, C1, C2, C3,
and C4. Setting E79 = N defeats the reclosing relay. Setting choices 1 through
4 are the number of desired automatic reclosures (see
Open Interval Timers on
page 6.16 ). Setting choices 1 through 4 also have the reclosing relay go to the
Lockout state upon reclose supervision failure (refer to Reclose Supervision
Logic on page 6.5 ).
Setting choice C1 through C4 similarly are the number of desired automatic
reclosures (C1 for one reclosure, C2 for two reclosures, etc.). Setting choices
C1 through C4, however, do not have the reclosing relay go to the Lockout
state upon reclose supervision failure. Instead, the reclosing relay increments
the shot counter and starts timing on the next open interval. This operation
emulates a rotating drum timer style reclosing relay—going onto the next
open interval time and reclose opportunity if supervising conditions for the
present reclose opportunity are not true. If the reclosing relay increments to
the last shot value (no more open intervals left; see
Figure 6.6 and Table 6.3 ),
the reclosing relay is then driven to the Lockout State.
