Broken conductor protection (46)
The purpose of the broken conductor protection is to detect
unbalanced load conditions, for example a broken wire of a
heavy loaded overhead line in case there is no earth fault.
The operation of the unbalanced load function is based on the
negative phase sequence component I
2
related to the positive
phase sequence component I
1
. This is calculated from the phase
currents using the method of symmetrical components. The
function requires that the measuring inputs are connected
correctly so that the rotation direction of the phase currents are
as in Figure 4.10.1-1. The unbalance protection has definite
time operation characteristic.
