SEL-351 Instruction Manual
Apply Load-Encroachment Logic to a Phase Time-Overcurrent
Again, from Figure 4.2:
ZLOAD = ZLOUT + ZLIN
Figure 4.3: Migration of Apparent Positive-Sequence Impedance for a Fault Condition
Refer to Figure 4.3. In a load condition, the apparent positive-sequence impedance is within the
ZLOUT area, resulting in:
ZLOAD = ZLOUT + ZLIN = logical 1 + ZLIN = logical 1
If a fault occurs, the apparent positive-sequence impedance moves outside the ZLOUT area (and
stays outside the ZLIN area, too), resulting in :
ZLOAD = ZLOUT + ZLIN = logical 0 + logical 0 = logical 0
Refer to Figure 3.14 in
Section 3: Overcurrent, Voltage, Synchronism Check, Frequency, and
Power Elements
. To prevent phase time-overcurrent element 51PT from operating for high load
conditions, make the following SEL
OGIC
®
Control Equation torque control setting:
51PTC = !ZLOAD*!LOP + 50P6
(= NOT[ZLOAD]*NOT[LOP] + 50P6)
As shown in Figure 4.2, load-encroachment logic is a positive-sequence calculation. During LOP
conditions (loss-of-potential; see Figure 4.1), positive-sequence voltage (V
1
) can be substantially
depressed in magnitude or changed in angle. This change in V
1
can possibly cause ZLOAD to
deassert (= logical 0), erroneously indicating that a “fault condition” exists. Thus, !ZLOAD
