Circuit breaker fail protection (CBF)
When a circuit breaker (CB) fails to remove a fault as a consequence of the CB failing to open,
the function of circuit breaker fail protection (CBF) is to remove the fault by the back-tripping
of other CBs. For example, if a fault current continues to flow following the issue of a trip
signal, the CBF function determines that a CB failure has occurred and issues another trip
signal to the adjacent CB(s) and/or the upstream CB.
Although a trip signal will have been issued by other protection functions, CBF protection
has relay elements and timers that are used to detect the continuing presence of a fault
following the issuance of a trip signal. The relay elements are termed OCCBF† and EFCBF†,
which run as protection functions within CBF.
†Note: The CBF function consists of two stages and their stages are operated
independently. Thus, the settings/switches/logics for two stages are provided
separately. To simply the description, only settings/switches/logics for the stage 1
are discussed as a representative, but the ones for the stage 2 are applicable in the
CBF function; hence the user can read the expression for the stage 1 as for the
stage 2 unless a special explanation or instructions has been provided.

Note: The implementation of particular features is dependent upon the selection of
hardware and the configuration of functions. Several IED models do not support certain
features. To determine whether a particular feature has been implemented within an IED,
identify the IED ordering number; and check the order number for the “G&T position” whilst
referring to the comparison table below. For more information, see
