2.4.3 Command Protection
If operational information from the distance relays located at each end of the protected line is
exchanged by means of telecommunication, it is possible to accurately determine whether or not
the fault is internal or external to the protected line. Each terminal can provide high-speed
protection for any fault along the whole length of the protected line. The GRZ100 provides the
following command protection using the distance measuring elements.
•
Permissive underreach protection (PUP)
•
Permissive overreach protection (POP)
•
Unblocking overreach protection (UOP)
•
Blocking overreach protection (BOP)
Each command protection can initiate high-speed autoreclose. These protections perform
single-phase or three-phase tripping depending on the setting of the reclosing mode and the fault
type.
Each command protection includes the aforementioned time-stepped distance protection as
backup protection.
2.4.3.1 Permissive Underreach Protection
Application
In permissive underreach protection (PUP), the underreaching zone 1 protection operates and trips
the local circuit breakers and at the same time sends a trip permission signal to the remote terminal.
The terminal which receives this signal executes instantaneous tripping on condition that the local
overreaching element has operated. The overreaching element can be selected as either zone 2 or
zone 3.
Since the trip permission signal is sent only when it is sure that the fault exists in the operating
zone of zone 1, the PUP provides excellent security. On the other hand, the PUP does not provide
sufficient dependability for faults on lines that contain open terminals or weak infeed terminals for
which zone 1 cannot operate. Faults near open terminals or weak infeed terminals are removed by
delayed tripping of zone 2 elements at remote terminals.
Since only the operating signal of the underreaching element is transmitted, it is not necessary to
distinguish a transmit signal from a receive signal. That is, the telecommunication channel can be
shared by the terminals and a simplex channel can be used.
Scheme Logic
Figure 2.4.3.1 shows the scheme logic of the PUP. Once zone 1 starts to operate, it outputs a
single-phase tripping signal S-TRIP or three-phase tripping signal M-TRIP to the local terminal
instantaneously and at the same time sends a trip permission signal CS to the remote terminals.
When the trip permission signal R1-CR is received from the remote terminals, PUP executes
instantaneous tripping on condition that either zone 2 or zone 3 has operated. Whether or not zone
2 or zone 3 is used can be selected by the scheme switch [ZONESEL]. If the PLC signal
PSCM_TCHDEN is established, the delayed pick-up timer TCHD is provided.
