Figure 525: Main functionality of DSTPDIS
All outputs and the operation of all sub-functions can be blocked with the
BLOCK
binary input signal. In addition, it resets the timers.
Blocking
There are three operation modes in the blocking function. The operation modes
are controlled by the
BLOCK
input and the global setting in Configuration >
System > Blocking mode which selects the blocking mode. The
BLOCK
input can
be controlled by a binary input, a horizontal communication input or an internal
signal of the protection relay's program. The influence of the
BLOCK
signal activation
is preselected with the global setting
Blocking mode.
The
Blocking mode setting has three blocking methods. In the "Freeze
timers" mode, the operation timer is frozen to the prevailing value, but the
OPERATE_Z1...5
output is not deactivated when blocking is activated. In the
"Block all" mode, the whole function is blocked and the timers are reset. In
the "Block OPERATE output" mode, the function operates normally but the
OPERATE_Z1...5
output is not activated.
In addition, the function has zone-specific blocking signals
BLOCK_Z1...5
. The
signal resets zone timers disabling the corresponding start and operate output
activation.
BLOCK_GFC
deactivates
START_GFC
and
OPERATE_GFC
. It also resets GFC operate
time (set by Operate delay GFC). Blocking does not prevent GFC operation.
Earth-fault detection function
The recognition of an earth fault is an important part in identifying the correct fault
type. This information is used in faulted loop (phase) selection to release the correct
impedance-measuring elements. The earth-fault recognition is always required to
release the phase-to-earth impedance-measuring elements.
The earth-fault detection is indicated with the EARTH_FLT monitored data. The
earth-fault detection criterion can be defined with the EF detection Mod GFC
setting. The fundamental criterion is based on the residual current. The residual
voltage and reference neutral current, measured from the transformer neutral point,
can be used for the earth-fault detection criteria.
