Pilot schemes use forward-looking overreaching elements and reverse-looking elements. To imple-
ment the pilot scheme, you can use distance elements, directional overcurrent elements, or both.
lists the most commonly used relay elements for pilot schemes.
POTT O
VERVIEW
A POTT scheme is a communications scheme in which an asserted overreaching element at the
local terminal must receive permission to trip from the remote terminal. When a forward-looking
overreaching zone (Zone 2) asserts, it can only trip the breaker at a high speed if permission has
been received from the remote end. A reverse-looking zone (Zone 3) blocks permission to the
remote terminal.
For example, referencing
, if a fault occurs at Point F1, the overreaching Zone 2 element at
Relay 1 asserts while the reverse-looking Zone 3 element remains deasserted. This makes the out-
put of AND 1 (shown in
) assert, sending a permissive trip (PT) signal (key) to Relay 2,
