IPickup: Current level for the Stub protection, set in % of IBase. This parameter should be
set so that all faults on the stub can be detected. The setting should thus be based on fault
calculations.

Pole discrepancy protection CCRPLD (52PD)

Identification
Function description
Pole discrepancy protection
Application
There is a risk that a circuit breaker will get discrepancy between the poles at circuit
breaker operation: closing or opening. One pole can be open and the other two closed, or
two poles can be open and one closed. Pole discrepancy of a circuit breaker will cause
unsymmetrical currents in the power system. The consequence of this can be:
• Negative sequence currents that will give stress on rotating machines
• Zero sequence currents that might give unwanted operation of sensitive ground-fault
protections in the power system.
It is therefore important to detect situations with pole discrepancy of circuit breakers.
When this is detected the breaker should be tripped directly.
Pole discordance protection CCRPLD (52PD) will detect situation with deviating
positions of the poles of the protected circuit breaker. The protection has two different
options to make this detection:
• By connecting the auxiliary contacts in the circuit breaker so that logic is created and
a signal can be sent to the pole discrepancy protection, indicating pole discrepancy.
• Each phase current through the circuit breaker is measured. If the difference between
the phase currents is larger than a CurrUnsymPU this is an indication of pole
discrepancy, and the protection will operate.
