Another application for an extended release delay is to
disconnect a small generator from the network during the dead
time of an auto-reclose, see Figure 2.3.1-3. In a fault situation
breaker Q1 starts the auto-reclose sequence and opens. The
voltage relay at Q2 will also pick up any undervoltage or
residual overvoltage fault. If the voltage fault remains, Q2 will
also trip and reclosing cycle can continue. However, if the fault
is cleared by opening the Q1 and then Q2 will not trip the
voltage relay at Q2 has a long start release time. In most cases
the isolated load is too much for the generator to maintain the
frequency during this release time and the Q2 will be tripped
by a frequency stage and the possible past voltage fault.
Frequency fault or voltage fault in the network alone will not
trip Q2. An asynchronised connection of breaker Q1 to the
network is blocked with a synchro-check relay.
