The time delays run concurrently within the relay. The time delay applied to the CB Fail protection must be in
excess of the longest CB operate time + relay reset time + a safety margin.

Overall Second Stage CBF Time Delay
The safety margin is extended by 1 cycle for the second CBF stage as this will usually involve a back-trip of a
Busbar tripping scheme.
The timing sequence for each stage of the circuit breaker fail function is as below.
