The minimum time delay for the retrip can be estimated as:
CBfailuredelay ≥ Retriptime t
A070693 V3 EN
t maximum opening time for the circuit breaker
cbopen
t maximum time for the breaker failure protection to detect the correct breaker function (the
BFP_reset
current criteria reset)
t safety margin

It is often required that the total fault clearance time is less than the given critical
time. This time often depends on the ability to maintain transient stability in case of
a fault close to a power plant.

Timer 3
This module is activated by the CB_FAULT signal. Once activated, the timer runs
until the set CB fault delay value has elapsed. The time characteristic is according
to DT. When the operation timer has reached the maximum time value CB fault
delay, the CB_FAULT_AL output is activated. After the set time, an alarm is given
so that the circuit breaker can be repaired. A typical value is 5 s.
Retrip logic
The retrip logic provides the TRRET output, which can be used to give a retrip
signal for the main circuit breaker. Timer 1 activates the retrip logic. The operation
