Circuit breaker failure protection CBFP
(50BF)
The circuit breaker failure protection can be used to trip any
upstream circuit breaker (CB), if the fault has not disappeared
within a given time after the initial trip command. A different
output contact of the device must be used for this backup trip.
The operation of the circuit-breaker failure protection (CBFP)
is based on the supervision of the signal to the selected trip
relay and the time the fault remains on after the trip command.
If this time is longer than the operating time of the CBFP
stage, the CBFP stage activates another output relay, which
will remain activated until the primary trip relay resets.
The CBFP stage is supervising all the protection stages using
the same selected trip relay, since it supervises the control
signal of this device. See chapter 5.4 for details about the
output matrix and the trip relays.
