Principle of Operation

The unbalance of network is detected by monitoring the ratio of negative sequence
current to positive sequence current I
unbalance current I /I exceeds the set value. When the set definite time operation
2 1
timer has reached the value set by the operate delay time, the OPERATE output is
activated.
On occurrence of fault, fulfilling the trip condition of respective stage, the LED
"Trip" and programmable LED if configured will be activated. Additionally the
output relays (Trip and signalization) will be activated according the binary output
configuration.
The phase discontinuity protection will be inhibited when all phase currents fall
below 0.1 x In.
The protection could be blocked by settings or via binary input of the relay.

Circuit breaker failure protection

Functionality

The circuit breaker failure protection function provides re-trip and back-up trip
signal in case circuit breaker under operation fails to open. Function is activated by
trip commands from the protection functions or via external protection trip using
binary input.
The function has two independent timers for trip purposes: a re-trip timer for the
repeated tripping of its own breaker and a back-up timer for the trip logic operation
for upstream breakers.
The protection could be blocked by settings of the relay.
