Forcing start or trip condition for testing purposes
There is a "Force flag" parameter which, when activated, allows
forcing the status of any protection stage to be "start" or "trip"
for a half second. By using this forcing feature any voltage
injection to the device is not necessary to check the output
matrix configuration, to check the wiring from the output
relays to the circuit breaker and also to check that
communication protocols are correctly transferring event
information to a SCADA system.
After testing the force flag will automatically reset 5-minute
after the last local panel push button activity.
The force flag also enables forcing of the output relays.
Start and trip signals
Every protection stage has two internal binary output signals:
start and trip. The start signal is issued when a fault has been
detected. The trip signal is issued after the configured
operation delay unless the fault disappears before the end of
the delay time.
Output matrix
Using the output matrix the user connects the internal start
and trip signals to the output relays and indicators. For more
details see chapter 5.4.
Blocking
Any protection function, except arc protection, can be blocked
with internal and external signals using the block matrix
(chapter 5.6). Internal signals are for example logic outputs and
start and trip signals from other stages and external signals
are for example digital and virtual inputs.
When a protection stage is blocked, it won't pick-up in case of a
fault condition is detected. If blocking is activated during the
operation delay, the delay counting is frozen until the blocking
goes off or the pick-up reason, i.e. the fault condition,
disappears. If the stage is already tripping, the blocking has no
effect.
Retardation time
Retardation time is the time a protection relay needs to notice,
that a fault has been cleared during the operation time delay.
This parameter is important when grading the operation time
delay settings between relays.
