2.22 Circuit Breaker Failure Protection
tiation conditions are processed for each CB pole. Also during a 1-pole automatic reclosure, the current inter-
ruption is reliably monitored for the tripped CB pole only.
Initiation of an individual phase, e.g. „Start L1", is only valid if the starting signal (= tripping signal of the feeder
protection) appears for this phase and if the current criterion is met for at least this phase. If it is not met, the
circuit breaker auxiliary contact can be interrogated according to Figure 2-186 – if parameterised (Chk BRK
CONTACT = YES).
The auxiliary contact criterion is also processed for each individual breaker pole. If, however, the breaker aux-
iliary contacts are not available for each individual breaker pole, then a single-pole trip command is assumed
to be executed only if the series connection of the normally open (NO) auxiliary contacts is interrupted. This
information is provided to the breaker failure protection by the central function control of the device (refer to
Section 2.25.1).
The 3-phase starting signal „Start L123" is generated if there are start signals for more than one phase. The
input "BF Start w/o I" (e.g. from Buchholz protection) operates only in 3-phase mode. The function is the same
as with common phase initiation.
The additional release-signal „>BF release" (if assigned to a binary input) affects all external initiation con-
ditions. Initiation can be blocked via the binary input „>BLOCK BkrFail" (e.g. during test of the feeder pro-
tection relay).
