Permissive over-reaching transfer trip
296
The permissive over-reaching transfer trip (POTT) scheme is for two-terminal line
applications. This scheme uses an over-reaching zone 2 distance element to compare the
direction to a fault at both terminals of the line. Ground directional overcurrent functions
available in the relay can be used in conjunction with the zone 2 distance element to key
the scheme and initiate its operation. This provides increased coverage for high-resistance
faults.
For proper operation, the zone 2 phase and ground distance elements must be enabled
and configured as per the principles of distance relaying. The line pickup element also
needs to be enabled and configured to detect line-end-open or weak-infeed conditions. If
used by this scheme, the selected ground directional overcurrent functions must be
enabled and configured accordingly.
In single-pole tripping applications, the scheme uses local fault type identification provided
by the Phase Selector together with information received from the remote terminal. The
scheme generates output operands
the signal to the remote end. Choices of communications channel include remote inputs,
remote outputs, and telecommunications interfaces. When used with telecommunications
facilities the output operands need to be assigned to operate output contacts connected
to assert the individual bits at the interface.
To make the scheme fully operational as a stand-alone feature, the output operands must
be configured to interface with other relay functions, in particular the output contacts. The
output operands are typically programmed to initiate a trip, breaker fail, and autoreclose,
and drive an annunciator indication as per user requirements.
When used in conjunction with the trip output element, the POTT scheme is pre-configured
to initiate trip, breaker fail, and single-pole autoreclose actions.
