OPERATION
When an external fault occurs, as shown in fig.
1, the transmitter at breaker B is keyed by the "start"
relays to block tripping at breaker A. Breaker B is
not tripped because the fault power flow is not in the
proper direction to close the D0, ZP-¢¢ or ZP-3¢
contacts.
When an internal fault occurs, a blocking signal
is transmitted from neither A nor B in fig. 1; in the
absence of blocking the t ripping units at each sta
tion (ZP-¢¢ or ZP-3¢ for phase faults, D0
&
10 for
ground faults) are permitted to trip.
Succeeding
paragraphs will explain how this is performed.
Phase Fault Tripping
Distance units, ZP (ZP-¢¢
&
ZP-3¢), operate
only when fault power flows into the protected line,
as shown in fig. 1. They are set to reach beyond
the end of the line (overreaching setting), so that
faults anywhere on the protected line will be detected
&
cleared at high speed. These units such as at
breaker A, fig. 1 also operate for faults on the adja
cent system; therefore, the ZP contacts must be
supervised by a contact which does not close during
external faults. This supervising contact is RRP in
fig. 2. For internal faults the RRP contact closes to
permit one of the ZP contacts to energize the breaker
trip coil, 52 T C. The trip path is from positive,
through ICS coil, ZP-¢¢ or ZP-3¢
&
OS contacts,
85-CO contact 1-2.

coil, RRP contact, 52a con
tact, to the trip coil.
Fig. 2 also shows an optional time delay backup
path, through T3 contact which bypasses the RRP
contact circuit. T3 contact
&
TX-Z3 coil are from
the TD-2 timing relay, which is associated with an
independent 2-zone-distance backup circuit (not
shown).
Operation of ZP energizes TX-Z3 coil,
whictr starts the timer. If the fault, either internal
or external, is not cleared by other means, the breaker
will be tripped after time delay, T3, if the fault is
within the reach of ZP.
Ground Fault Tripping
Ground directional unit, D0 (D0c
&
D0P when
KRD dual polarized relay is used), closes only for
ground faults in one direction, as is the case for the
phase tripping units, ZP. The instantaneous unit,
10, is set to pickup for a zero sequence current well
below the solid ground fault level, to insure high
speed tripping even with substantial fault resistance.
As
w!th ZP, this overreaching setting results in
relay operation for external faults in the "trip direc
tion."
To prevent breaker tripping for external
faults, the ground trip patti must likewise be super
vised. ·RRG is the ground fault supervising contact,
wtrich remains open during external faults, but closes
during internal faults to permit the ground tripping
relay, KRC, KRD, or KRP, to clear the fault.
Tripping from positive is through 85-CO contact
3-4, ICS coil, contacts D0, 10, RRG, 52a, to the trip
coil. A backup ground relay is not shown in fig. 2.
It is recommended that this relay trip circuit be on a
