Figure 6-113 Time sequence example for normal clearance of a fault, and with circuit breaker
failure, using single-stage breaker failure protection
If the circuit breaker associated with the feeder is not operational (e.g. control voltage
failure or air pressure failure), it is apparent that the local breaker cannot clear the
fault. Time delay before tripping the adjacent breakers is not necessary in this case. If
the relay is informed about this disturbance (via the binary input "!&% IDXOW\", the
adjacent circuit breakers (bus-bar and remote end if applicable) are tripped after the
time 7%NU'HIHFWLYH (address  ) which is usually set to .
Address   determines to which output the trip command is routed in the event that
the breaker is not operational when a feeder protection trip occurs. Select that output
which is used to trip the adjacent breakers (bus-bar trip).
The end fault protection can be switched 2Q or 2II separately under address  
(QG )OW VWDJH. An end fault is a short-circuit between the circuit breaker and the
current transformer set of the feeder. The end fault protection presumes that the de-
vice is informed about the circuit breaker position via breaker auxiliary contacts con-
nected to binary inputs.
If, during an end fault, the circuit breaker is tripped by a reverse fault stage of the feed-
er protection or by the bus-bar protection (the fault is a bus-bar fault as determined
from the location of the current transformers), the fault current will continue to flow, be-
cause the fault is fed from the remote end of the feeder circuit.
The time 7(QG)DXOW (address  ) is started when, during the fault detection con-
dition of the feeder protection, the circuit breaker auxiliary contacts indicate open
poles and, at the same time, current flow is detected (address  ). The trip com-
mand of the end fault protection is intended for the transmission of an intertrip signal
to the remote end circuit breaker.
Thus, the delay time must be set such that it can bridge out short transient apparent
end fault conditions which may occur during switching of the breaker.
The pole discrepancy supervision can be switched 2Q or 2II separately under ad-
dress   3ROH'LVFUHSDQF\. It is only useful if the breaker poles can be operated
individually. It avoids that only one or two poles of the local breaker are open continu-
ously. It has to be provided with either the breaker auxiliary contacts of each pole or
the series connection of the normally open contacts (NO contacts) and the normally
closed contacts (NC contacts) to binary inputs on the device. If these conditions are
not fulfilled, switch the pole discrepancy supervision 2II.
