CHAPTER 5: SETTINGS
The line pickup protection incorporates zone 1 extension capability. When the line is being re-energized from the local
terminal, pickup of an overreaching zone 2 or excessive phase current within eight power cycles after the autorecloser
issues a close command results in the

coordination timer. If a trip from distance is not required, then it can be disabled with the

LINE PICKUP RCL TRIP
The zone 1 extension philosophy used here normally operates from an under-reaching zone, and it uses an overreaching
distance zone when reclosing the line with the other line end open. The
1 extension functionality if external autoreclosure is employed. Another zone 1 extension approach is to apply
permanently an overreaching zone, and reduce the reach when reclosing. This philosophy can be programmed via the
autoreclose scheme.
— This setting enables and disables the line pickup feature.
LINE PICKUP FUNCTION
— Selects the signal source for line pickup protection.
LINE PICKUP SIGNAL SOURCE
— Specifies the level of line current required to declare a line pickup operation when the line is re-

— Specifies the time during which the line is de-energized before the line pickup logic is

— Specifies the time during which the line pickup logic remains armed once the line has been

— The coordination timer allows the overcurrent detector to be set below the expected load current

seen after reclose. When this setting is enabled (the default value), the coordination timer is bypassed. Disable this setting
(removing the bypass and inserting the timer) if high speed autoreclosure is employed.
— If the setting of the overcurrent detector is less than the load current, then it picks up during a

— This setting allows the line pickup element to be armed from a status signal (such as breaker position)

It can be derived by combining the status of several devices in a FlexLogic equation.
— This setting provides zone 1 extension functionality if external autoreclosure is employed.
